NEWTONTWP. - On Nov. 8,
the voters of Newton Township
will go to the polls and vote
yes or no for allowing New-
ton Township to turn over to a
Home Rule community, and
with that different views have
been coming to light.
The purpose of the ballot
questions is to determine
whether the electors of Newton
Twp. in the county of Lacka-
wanna wish to elect a govern-
ment study commission of
seven members. Approval of
the ballot question will have
the following effect: 1. The
elected government study com-
mission will study Newton
Townships existing form of
government currently in place;
2. After studying Newton
Townships existing form of
government, the elected gov-
ernment study commission
will consider the practicality of
adopting a home rule charter
for Newton Township; and 3. If
practical, the elected govern-
ment study commission will
draft and recommend a home
rule charter that will be sub-
mitted to the voters of Newton
Twp. for approval.

f his current attitude is any indication of what he was like as
a race car driver, its easy to see why Clarks Summit resident
Anthony Michael Oscar Koveleski was so successful: the
man cant slowdown.
At 78, the 2011recipient of the R. MatthewBurne Lifetime of
Service Award presented by The Abington Journal finds his
days busier than ever.
Its not my quote, but some-
body a long time ago said the
secret of life is to die young at a
very old age. And the only way
you can die young is to be happy,
stay happy and take care of your-
self, said Koveleski.
And, Koveleski said the way
hes been able to stay happy has been by
staying active.
Originally fromMoosic, Koveleski
entered auto racing in1950 at age18,
driving an MGTC.
After winning his first race at
Bone Stadiumin Pittston, he was
hooked on the sport and began
competing in Sports Car Club
America (SCCA, founded in
1945) racing events whenever he
had the opportunity, against other
SCCAmembers included Carroll
Shelby, Roger Penske, Chip Ganassi and
Mario Andretti.
He took a short hiatus fromracing1953

Editors Note: In
selecting the recipient
of The Abington Jour-
nals annual Lifetime of
Service Award, we
attempted to choose a
person in the communi-
ty who illustrated R.
Matthew Burne, the
person in whose honor
it is named. When we
approached the family
of our first honoree
with the announcement
of a posthumous
dedication for the
Lifetime of Service
Award to R. Matthew
Burne, they reacted
with the generosity
illustrated throughout
his life by offering to
donate in his memory
to a charity to which he
was dedicated. Every
year, they offer future
Lifetime of Service
honorees that same
ability.

emergency alert.
The first nationwide test of
the EAS is a huge step toward
coordination of all EAS re-
sources, Filarsky said. In
present day and times all of
our citizens and organizations
have a right to be accurately
informed about emergencies
that may have an effect on
their daily lives. This nation-
wide test is a critical step
towards this goal.
The test is being conducted
by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FE-
MA), the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC)
and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), as part of their on-
going efforts to keep the na-
tion safe during emergencies
and strengthen our resilience
against all hazards.
The national Emergency
Alert System is an alert and
warning system that can be
activated by the president, if
needed, to provide informa-
tion to the American public
during emergencies. NOAAs
National Weather Service,
governors, and state and local
emergency authorities also
use parts of the system to
issue more localized emergen-
cy alerts. The test is an impor-
tant exercise in ensuring that
the system is effective in com-
municating critical informa-
tion to the public in the event
of a real national emergency.
Similar to emergency alert
system tests that are already
conducted frequently on the
local level, the nationwide test
will involve television and
radio stations across the Unit-
ed States, including Alaska,
Hawaii and the territories of
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands and American Samoa.
Borough of Clarks Summit
Emergency Management Co-
ordinators, along with FEMA,
encourages the public to use
this event as a reminder that
everyone should establish an
emergency preparedness kit
and emergency plan for them-
selves, their families, commu-
nities and businesses.

At least 15 soldiers in Af-
ghanistan who are unable to
be home for Christmas this
year will have gifts and hand-
made cards to open, thanks to
Cub Scout Pack 160 of Clarks
Summit.
The Packs Bear Den, made
up of third grade students,
filled the 15 gift bags with
books, movies, candy and
treats, notebooks and personal
hygiene items during their
regular meeting at the Clarks
Summit United Methodist
Church Oct. 27. They also
included Christmas cards
which they made during a
previous meeting.
Cub Scout Alex Nole said
his favorite part of the project
was picking out items from
the large selection of things
they had collected and pack-
ing them in his gift bag.
Another Cub Scout, Justin
Williams, said they could only
include items that would not
break or melt during shipping.
And, he said, they tried to pick
out something the soldiers
would appreciate.
Ricky Rahique Mirza
agreed that that the soldiers
will appreciate some of the
gifts because they are items
they probably arent able to
get in Afghanistan.
Cathleen Lopez, who initi-
ated the project, said her hus-
band is currently serving in
Afghanistan, but is fortunate
enough to be coming home
for Christmas. She said she
wanted the boys to learn that
not every Dad has that oppor-
tunity, and the soldiers need
their support at Christmas
time. She said the gifts will be
sent to Charlie Company,
which includes 127 men and
is stationed in a remote loca-
tion in Afghanistan.
Lopezs son, Thomas Lo-
pez, is a Scout in Webelos 2,
which is also helping with the
project. He said he is glad to
be helping and sharing with
the soldiers. Were doing the
best we can, he said.
The Scouts in Bear Den
expressed many Christmas
wishes for the soldiers, in-
cluding that they come home
safe without being wounded,
see their families again, have
a good and happy time on
Christmas, and they enjoy
their gifts.
Lopez said other packs in
the troop are also helping out,
as well as some of the Girl
Scouts from her daughters
Troop, 50273.

dent Gerrie Carey will attend
with their spouses.
Presentations of honored
certificates as well as special
gifts will be given to veterans
fromVFWPost #7069.
Also, on Veterans Day, Nov.
11, Commander Bailey will
attend a ceremony at the
Abington Heights Elementary
School. He will lead the stu-
dent body in the Pledge of
Allegiance before speaking to
the second grade students of
his daughter Jacklyns class
about the importance of the
day.
Ive been going to the
school for three of four years,
Bailey said. I speak to all three
second grade classes and take
questions fromthe children.
Children of that age are very
inquisitive, so I have to be on
the ball. Its a joy to talk to
them; many of themhave
grandparents who served in
wars.
All VFWmembers are also
invited to the DePaul School at
Allied Services for the annual
Veterans Day presentation for
the veterans, followed by a
luncheon.
After their visit at Allied
Services, the veteran members
will proceed to the Willow-
brook Long TermCare Facility
in South Abington Township to
spend time with veterans and
other guests.
At 4 p.m., a contingent of
veterans will assemble at the
newVeterans Memorial in
Clarks Summit to dedicate the
flags of honor.
The idea for the monument
started with a former veteran
and member of the Clarks
Summit council, Herman
Johnson, Bailey said. We all
worked hard raising funds and
the community was very gen-
erous in their donations. Its a
nice memorial to veterans and
a great addition to the commu-
nity.
At 7 p.m., a memorial
church service will be held at
Our Lady of the Snows Church
in Clarks Summit followed by
a dinner at the VFWpost on
Winola Road, Clarks Summit.
According to Bailey, the mass
rotates between the Clarks
Summit Methodist Church and
Our Lady of the Snows each
year.

visor Doug Pallman said he is
not in favor of Home Rule
and feels the community is
very confused on what Home
Rule is all about. I am in no
way endorsing Home Rule. It
is not the right direction for
Newton Township to go. We
have been running the town-
ship for over 160 years with-
out it and we have the lowest
tax rate around, adequate road
structure and we do not need
to change the way we do
things. I am not in favor of
supporting yes, I am speaking
for my own views only, he
said
Pallman said he feels the
issue of Home Rule has be-
come more evident since the
issue of gas drilling has come
forth and they are two sep-
arate issues. He added that he
feels Home Rule cannot be
linked with gas drilling and
that it strictly has to do with
the governing of the township.
Sarah Lodwick, in favor of
Home Rule, is one of seven
candidates running for a com-
mittee to elect a government
study commission. Lodwick
said she feels the purpose of
the upcoming ballot question
is to determine whether the
electors of Newton Township
wish to elect a government
study commission of seven
members. She said if people
vote yes it would mean that
the study commission would
study Newton Townships
existing form of government,
consider the practicality of
adopting a Home Rule Char-
ter and draft and recommend
a Home Rule Charter that
would go to the voters of the
township for approval. Lod-
wick also said that the voters
should approve the ballot
question so that the seven
candidates can protect the
township from the negative
impacts of gas drilling.
Home Rule is an alternative
that allows the residents of
Newton to directly address,
influence and vote on con-
cerns, she said.
Pallman said he feels Home
Rule is simply voting for a
change in government and
how issues are handled by the
town board. He explained that
with a Home Rule Charter
anyone can introduce con-
cepts, and with that people
tend to lose interest in govern-
ment.
People need to understand
how much this would change
government, if the voters
approve to do Home Rule, a
study will then have to be
passed, then that has to go to
the voters, then it goes to a
referendum and then to a
charter. You simply do not
change government because
of gas drilling, gas drilling
will still come here and a
Home Rule Charter will not
stop it, Pallman said.
As defined, Home Rule
allows municipalities to devel-
op a body of law, which a
local council can adopt, they
can adapt and administer
legislation and regulations for
the conduct of business and
maintenance. It further allows
the committee the authority to
exercise any power to perform
any function not denied by the
Pennsylvania Constitution.
They can adopt ordinances
and laws in any capacity, ex-
cept where it is specified by
law. Home Rule also shifts
responsibility for local gov-
ernment from the State Legis-
lature to the local community,
where a township that chooses
Home Rule can tailor its gov-
ernment organization and
powers to suit its needs. These
are only a few of the changes
that could occur in Newton
Township if Home Rule is
approved.
Pallman said, The Newton
Township is always open to
hear public comment. We just
hired a consultant to advise us
on all issues in regard to gas
drilling. All of our boards are
working on all issues that
could affect the township in
regard to gas drilling and we
are gathering as much in-
formation in regard to it as
possible. I urge residents to
come to our meetings. We
sometimes only have two or
three people there. Come and
speak out. Anyone can in-
troduce a concept.
HOME
The Home Rule Question
as it will appear on the
Nov. 8 ballot:
Q: Shall a government
study commission of 7
members be elected to
study the existing form of
government of the
municipality to consider
the advisability of the
adoption of a home rule
charter; and if advisable to
draft and to recommend a
home rule charter?
Yes
No
Seven candidates for a
committee to elect a Home
Rule government study
commission include:
John F. Frankowski
Carl H. Caswell
Carol Mielnikowski
Richard B. Scott
Michael Grizzanti
Philip J. Covalesky
Sarah F. Lodwick
Sarah Lodwick has lived in
Newton Township for more than
25 years. Lodwick said she
joined the Home Rule Study
Commission Group in order to
serve that end.

GLENBURN TOWNSHIP CANDIDATES
S. ABINGTONTWP. -
Rain and soggy condi-
tions on the ground forced
the postponement of a tree
carving project at the
Abington Area Community
Park located at 1188 Winola
Rd in S. Abington Town-
ship. But as of Oct. 10,
woodcarver Kevin Treat of
Lake Winola was back on
the job and standing on a lift
with his reverberating
chainsawin hand, as pieces
of tree bark and wood shav-
ings drifted to the ground.
Treat is transforming a
dying pine tree along the
shoreline of Eston-Wilson
Lake into a work of art with
a wildlife theme . The de-
sign features a perched
eagle at approximately 20
feet high and a bear climb-
ing the side of the tree.
Once the tree is carved,
Treat treats and stains it.
According to Abington
Area Joint Recreation
Board member, Diane
Vietz, The tree is aligned
at the starting point for our
Walk the Lake Trail. It will
mark the starting point of
the trail.
Treat began carving wood
15 years ago as a hobby to
make Christmas presents.
He said, One day while
cutting firewood, I decided
to try to carve something
with my chainsawand. Ive
had fun carving trees ever
since.
The project at the park,
originated fromdialogue
with Diane Vietz at the
childrens fishing derby this
spring as I was doing an
entertainment carving ven-
ue for participants. From
taking my son fishing, I
previously noticed a large
compromised pine tree that
was positioned near the
water. This tree would in-
deed need attention sooner
than later so that it wouldnt
be a safety risk for park
users. I personally try to
refrain fromjust cutting
trees down so that I can
carve them, said Treat.
He added, Most of my
stump carvings are a result
of professional tactical tree
removals which were to
maintain safety of homes
and property. I also try to
subscribe to any history or
sentiment which the tree
may have with the geo-
graphic area or property
owners.
The funds for the tree
carving project were provid-
ed by a Lackawanna County
Arts grant awarded to
Clarks Green Borough and
Waverly Township on be-
half of the Abington Area
Joint Recreation Board; the
Abington Area Community
Classroom; Leela Baikadi
and friends; Clarks Summit
UPS Store owner, Kip Con-
forti and Mike Sheruda,
Down to Earth Rental
Equipment.
Mike Gockley of Clarks
Green trimmed the tree and
removed the dead branches
during the first week of
October.
Treat said, The first
thing I do to a tree before
carving it is to remove all
the bark. This enables me to
plan my dimension and
perspective into the carving
much better than with the
bark still on the tree, as I
may be able to use as much
as the natural character of
the wood as possible. Fans
of Treats work will have an
opportunity to purchase one
of his woodcarvings and
help the park at the same
time.
He noted, We have six
tree sections which were
removed fromabove the
carved tree stock which we
intend to make carvings
fromand offer themto
anyone interested in pur-
chasing their own custom
carving. The carvings will
be approximately 4 foot tall
and cost $395 each with
proceeds used toward fur-
ther park development ex-
penses. Some options in-
clude standing bears,
perched eagles and bench-
es.
This offer is only avail-
able to the first six purchase
commitments.
Samples of Treats work
can be seen locally at the
newScranton School for the
Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Children (SSDHHC) cam-
pus located at the former
Lourdesmont School in
Clarks Summit, or on his
website www.sawptician-

kas, in his superintend-
ents report, reported the
amount, which was raised
by the fundraisers of
Cancer Awareness Week-
end at Lackawanna Trail.
Over $9,700 was raised
toward the American
Cancer Society, most of
that money going locally,
he said. Rakauskas also
welcomed newly appoint-
ed school director Carol
Selwood, who was present
at the meeting.
FACTORYVILLE - At a
special Lackawanna Trail
school board meeting
held Oct. 24, two field
trips were approved by
the board. First, board
member Frank Tylutki
made a motion for the
fourth-grade teachers to
take their class to Harris-
burg, on May 3, 2012 to
be approved at no cost to
the district. It was sec-
onded by board member
Judith Johnson. During
discussion, Tylutki said,
This place is a worth-
while trip. The fourth
graders have been doing
it for years, and I highly
recommend that they con-
tinue to do so and ask
for your support. The
board agreed.
The other field trip on
the agenda was for the
schools marching band.
Board member Mark
Lombardi made a motion
for the request of march-
ing band director Katie
Bower to take her march-
ing band to the Atlantic
Coast Championships in
Hershey on Oct. 29 and
30 at no cost to the dis-
trict. The board agreed.
In his secondary report,
high school principal
John Rushefski thanked
the board for supporting
this trip. The students
are working hard to be
prepared for that event,
he said.
Also at the special
meeting, Lackawanna
Trail faculty members
were appointed to new
positions. Dr. Michael
Mould was appointed to
fill the Lackawanna Trail
seat on the NEIU #19
(Northeastern Educational
Intermediate Unit) Board
through June 30, 2014.
Jane Richards made a
motion to appoint Mi-
chael Bluhm as a volun-
teer wrestling coach, all
clearances on file. It was
seconded by Michael
Mould. The board agreed.

Five Baptist Bible College
students and graduates, Dan
Nichols, TimWalker, John
Dobson, Cynthia Nichols and
Kellyn Lovell are currently
raising support for Restored
Church, to be planted in Wilkes-
Barre. Once that church has
matured, it is to serve as a hub
around which more churches
will eventually be formed.
Our vision is to give every
man, woman and child in
Wilkes-Barre repeated opportu-
nities to hear and see the gos-
pel, said Nichols, the 23-year-
old ordained reverend, ABWE
(Association of Baptists for
World Evangelism) missionary,
Baptist Bible College grad and
current Baptist Bible Seminary
student.
Skeptics tell themthey cant
do it.
They agree.
Of course I cant do it, Ni-
chols said. But he believes God
can. Dobson, 21, a current Bap-
tist Bible College student origi-
nally fromOhio, said via e-mail
that the church planting is a
huge task and
wont be easy,
but is a big step
of faith.
We also
realize that all
we do is not
about us,
Dobson said.
Its about God
and his work-
ing through us. I
amexcited about
church planting
and I amexcited about being
used by God. Its an awesome
thing to give your life over to
Christ and to let himwork in
and through you.
Nichols said his father is a
pastor in Ohio where he grew
up, and he wanted to be one
since he was14.
Rather than always doing
things traditionally, however, he
said he tends to think outside
the box, and wasnt sure what
being a pastor was going to look
like for him.
He said about a year ago, he
was going through a hard time
and came to a place of retreat in
his life where he wasnt sure
what to do next. One day he
took a three-hour-long walk
with God and told Him, I really
want to move forward. I just
dont knowwhat Immoving
forward into.
Immediately following that
walk, he said he got a phone call
fromWalker, which eventually
led to himjoining Steamtown
Church in Scranton. There, he
co-led a house church, or
small group gathering, with
Walker. Nichols is nowon staff
there as Administrative Coor-
dinator.
It was through Steamtown
Church that Restored Church
came about. The Wilkes-Barre
Church Planting Movement
nowpartners with Steamtown
Church, ABWEand Project
Jerusalem, a Baptist Bible Sem-
inary program.
Nichols said his teamalso
looks forward to working with
some of the other churches
already in the Wilkes-Barre
area.
We think of churches as
teammates, he said. We dont
viewit as territory. For exam-
ple, Summit Baptist Bible
Church in Clarks Summit is
providing for himtemporary
office space, even though he
doesnt attend there.
Its not about us, he said.
Its about the city. Its about
Wilkes-Barre. Its about Scran-
ton. Its about Clarks Summit.
And about reaching this geog-
raphy.
Walker, 21and a current Bap-
tist Bible College student origi-
nally fromMichigan, said he
has a love for the city of Wilkes-
Barre and previous ministry
experience
there, so
when he and
Nichols
started talk-
ing last Oc-
tober about
the possibil-
ity of start-
ing a church
in that area,
he got excited
about the idea.
We just
started looking at the demo-
graphics and realized howmuch
the city needs the gospel,
Walker said.
The next step in planting
Restored Church is for the team
to move to Wilkes-Barre and
start a house church, which
Nichols said he hopes to do in
May 2012. The plan is for it to
growinto a collection of house
churches, and then, once there
are enough people, they will
initiate corporate gatherings.
Nichols said the goal isnt to
change the city with signs, ad-
vertising and organized religion,
but the approach of Restored
Church is more relational.
We want people to knowwe
are about the good news, but its
the good news of Jesus, he said.
Its not like a social club, or a
moralistic therapeutic thing. Its
the good news of Jesus and you
communicate that with your
life. So both your words and
actions.
Dobson said he envisions
Restored Church as a local
body of believers that love God
and love each other.

when his duties as a member of
the Mobile Army Surgical Hos-
pital (M.A.S.H.) unit with the
United States Army relocated
himto Fort SamHouston in San
Antonio, Texas with his wife
Elaine, who he married in1952.
The two moved to Clarks
Summit in1966 where they
raised their children: Anthony
Robert Koveleski, Lee Ann
Koveleski, Christopher Kove-
leski and Sharon Kelley. The
family nowincludes daughter-
in-lawCarole Koveleski, grand-
son Michael Koveleski and
son-in-lawScott Kelley.
Upon returning to the area,
Koveleski was able to return to
racing.
Winning the1970 SCCA
National Championship in Road
Atlanta, Koveleski set himself
apart as one of the top members
of the sport, competing in events
like the SCCACan Amseries
where he finished in the top10
four times.
Another career highlight was
a second-place finish in Brock
Yates first Cannonball Run in
1971, which extended fromNew
York City to California. Kove-
leski competed as a part of the
Polish Racing Drivers of Amer-
ica Team, a teamof which he
was co-founder.
He also acted as head of press
relations for Newman-Sharp
Racing, founded by Bob Sharp.
The teamhad a number of
members over the years, in-
cluding Scott Sharp, Paul New-
man, TomCruise and Walter
Payton.
His career offered himan
opportunity to help make the
sport safer for his friends.
In the early days it was a
very dangerous sport, said
Koveleski. The rules and the
laws were very loose.
In an effort to make racing
less dangerous, Koveleski
joined the board of directors of
the Motor Racing Safety Socie-
ty, which was founded by Karl
E. Ludvigsen in1970.
The first thing we did was
body protectionwe were the
first ones to try and figure out
howto make a collapsible steer-
ing wheel work on a standard
car, said Koveleski.
In addition to the collapsible
steering wheel, the Motor Rac-
ing Safety Society also re-
searched and helped develop
safer seats, seat belts, helmets,
fire proof suits, shoes and
gloves.
I think I wanted to make it
safer because I knewwe were
going to kill more people if we
didnt, said Koveleski.
Five of the races I was in,
five of my friends were killed.
MANOFACTION
While it would be normal for
anyone to want to protect his
friends, what set Koveleski apart
was that he did something about
it. And according to those who
have worked with himover the
years, this action is a true reflec-
tion of his character.
The thing that I appreciate
the most about Oscar is there are
creative people, and then there
are people who will work along-
side you to bring that plan to
fruition, said Leah Ducato
Rudolph, director of the Abing-
ton Community Library.
He doesnt just have grandi-
ose ideas, he will work with
youhes right alongside
youand will help you make
that dreama reality, which I find
very exciting and stimulating,
she added.
Rudolph met Koveleski, who
lives near the library, a fewyears
ago when Koveleski, being a
good neighbor, called the library
to informstaff that library air
conditioner sounded as though
there might be a problemwith it.
There was.
In the fall of 2009, following
their first conversation, Kove-
leski approached Rudolph to
inquire if he could help with
fundraising for the library.
He sat in on a couple of
meetings we had with some
fundraising committeesand
eventually we decided what we
wanted to do was a hot dog
sale, said Rudolph.
And he said, Well you know
one of the favorite foods of
racers are hot dogs. Why dont
you call it the Pit Stop and Ill be
glad to help you with the theme
of a pit stop.
The library held its first Pit
Stop in the summer of 2010, and
the event met with such success
that a second was held this past
summer.
To extend the theme, Kove-
leski provided the Pit Stop with
a Kidracer for the children in
attendance to drive.
The Kidracer was designed by
Koveleski in 2000 to look and
drive like a real race car. Power-
ed by rechargeable batteries, its
a 47-pound race car, with a
two-speed shifter.
Over the years he has made
Kidracers available whenever he
is able at fundraising events like
the Pit Stop, the Clark Summit
Centennial celebration in Au-
gust and a Flood Relief Benefit
at McDade Park held last
month.
I started with the pedal cars,
but I realized pedal cars were a
waste of time, because youre
not supposed to pedal a car,
youre supposed to drive cars,
said Koveleski.
He developed the Kidracer to
give children a realistic hands-
on opportunity to start learning
to drive.
The move to the Kidracer was
a logical one for Koveleski, who
was at the center of the slot car
boomin the1950s and 60s.
He began selling slot cars and
model kits while he was racing
in SCCAevents in the
mid-1950s and in1958 founded
Auto World, a mail-order com-
pany that operated out of his
friend Bob Smiths basement. In
the mid-1960s, Koveleski
opened an Auto World store on
Keyser Avenue, Scranton, and
in1969 founded Auto World
Motorsports, a magazine featur-
ing specialty and safety equip-
ment for all types of racing as
well as lists of books on auto
racing.
In1962 he teamed with Bob
MacLeod and Larry Shaw, and
the three started Car Model
Magazine, a bi-monthly how-to
magazine on model car building
and racing.
We wrote the best catalogs,
because we gave the best in-
formation. I wrote the catalogs
and I wrote a lot of that stuff. I
dictated this is howyou do it,
and explained the weight, the
math, the science, said Kove-
leski.
We set the standard for in-
formation, photography, clarity
and simplicity.
Koveleski managed to get Car
Model Magazine and Auto
World (Model Cars) sold at
newsstands, which helped gen-
erate a demand for the products.
We had all the stuff listed,
and the kids would buy the
catalogs and go into their local
hobby store and see if they had
it, so the owner of the store
would look and say, Auto
World? So then the owner
would start calling the manu-
facturer, said Koveleski.
Koveleski believes the maga-
zines helped expand the interest
of auto racing to a newaudi-
ence, and had a strong influen-
ce.
We worked with kids and
then the kids grewup, and they
grewout of that. Nowthe kid
that was playing with slot cars.
They want a real car, they want
to fix it up, they want to paint it,
they want to customize it, deco-
rate it. We helped create the hot
rod era, the customera, and got
themstarted in auto racing said
Koveleski.
The magazines and the store
gave Koveleski the opportunity
to share his knowledge with a
large audience.
I think its a love of the sport,
and a need to pass it on, said
friend J.J. OMalley of Kove-
leskis work. He keeps saying
were getting older and we need
to get the kids involved.
The communications manag-
er for NASCARGrand Am
Road Racing, J.J. OMalley met
Koveleski as a child through his
father, John Ace OMalley, a
reporter for the Pittston Dis-
patch, who covered the races at
Bone Stadium.
Koveleski helped OMalley
get his career started by having
himedit the ABCs of Slot Car
Racing, an informational pam-
phlet on slot cars, and by having
OMalley act as announcer at
some of the races Koveleski
organized at Pocono Interna-
tional Raceway.
That was the first time I ever
did PAannouncing, so that was
another door he opened for me,
said J.J. OMalley.
J.J. OMalley was just one of a
number of area youngsters who
Koveleski took under his wing
over the years, trying to help
guide them. The most recent
resident to benefit fromKove-
leskis experience has been
16-year-old Clarks Summit
resident Jerry Tunney.
Tunney, a NASCARhopeful,
recently earned a full scholar-
ship to a prominent racing
school, Race101in North Car-
olina.
Oscar is an amazing guy,
wrote Tunney.
He has helped me tremen-
dously since I met himearlier
this year, everything fromcar
setup to marketing. His knowl-
edge and advice comes from
experience, so who better to
learn it fromthan him.
And, J.J. OMalley will be the
first to tell you that advice
doesnt stop once youre an
adult. He was working in public
relations for Watkins Glen In-
ternational, N.Y. in1989 when it
hosted a Ford GT40 reunion.
It was supposed to be a one-
time deal, said OMalley.
It was a big event, and Oscar
came up to me after and was
asking me What were we going
to do next? And he suggested a
(SCCACan AmSeries Re-
union.)
J.J. OMalley liked the idea
and the two went out, signed on
a number of drivers, including
former champion Danny Hume,
and organized the event in1990.
The successful event helped the
staff at Watkins Glen realize the
drawing power of events like the
Can Am.
ANINVALUABLEASSET
Hes an idea man, he has tons
of ideas. I just wish we had the
manpower to implement all of
them, said former Laurel Run
Borough Mayor Dan Gildea.
Laurel Run Borough is the
home of the Giants Despair Hill
Climb. Established in1906, its
the oldest motor sports event in
Pennsylvania.
Koveleski has been involved
with the Hill Climb in some
capacity for years, either as a
participant, winning the event
six times, or in a volunteer ca-
pacity.
During his time as mayor,
Gildea said he viewed Koveleski
as an invaluable asset.
The contribution he made to
that race, he made my job a lot
easier. He was a guy I could call
for advice, said Gildea.
He just has a great love for
that hill, and more of us should
have that passion for any activity
in our lives.
The passion Koveleski has
shown for the Giants Despair
Hill Climb is the same hes
shown in all of his endeavors.
And it doesnt seemlike that
passion is going to die down
anytime soon.
Ill never stop racing life. I
think life is the best sport of all.
Live it well, said Koveleski.
Koveleski added that hes
hoping this article will inspire
others to join himin this race
and find a cause that interests
themenough to volunteer.
He recommended those in-
terested in racing to volunteer
time with the SCCA; for more
information visit www.scca-
.com.
Koveleski also recommended
the National Speedway Directo-
rys website www.speedwayson-
line.comfor racing fans. The
website offers a detailed list of
information on nearly every oval
track, drag strip and road course
located throughout the United
States and Canada.

In less than two weeks the
Dietrich Childrens Theatre
will take us on an adventure to
West Africa. On Friday, Nov.
11 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and
Saturday, Nov.12 at 11 a.m.,
they will perform Why Mos-
quitoes Buzz in Peoples Ears.
This production is based upon
the Caldecott Medal wining
tale of an exaggerating little
mosquito who tells a fib to an
iguana who then puts sticks in
his ears to keep from hearing
such nonsense. This scares the
snake, which frightens the
rabbit, which startles the mon-
keyand soon, that one little
fib has grown into such a big
lie that the sun cannot rise and
the whole animal kingdom is
plunged into darkness. Join us
to find out what happens.
Along the way, you will learn
a couple of Swahili words and
will interact with the cast of
jungle characters. This is a
great activity for families with
children of all ages. These
shows are sponsored by the
Pennsylvania Humanities
Council and admission is free.
Tickets are available by calling
570.996.1500 or at the door.
In addition to a November
production, the Dietrich Chil-
drens Theatre will be back in
December with performances
of Lon Po Po: A Red Riding
Hood Story from China. Join
us on Friday, Dec. 9 at 10 a.m.
and 1:30 p.m. and Saturday,
Dec. 10 at 11 a.m. for these
shows, and see how this story
is similar to and different from
the Red Riding Hood tale we
grew up with. After each show,
storyteller Fiona Powell will
discuss the tale with the audi-
ence. I always love to hear
what kids have to say about
each production. These per-
formances are also funded by
the Pennsylvania Humanities
Council.
Speaking of discussions, the
Dietrich Theater and Tunk-
hannock Public Library will be
presenting a book discussion
on Stieg Larssons The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo later
this month. Pick up a copy of
the book at your local library
or bookstore or dust off your
own copy and start reading.
We will meet to discuss this
thriller at the Tunkhannock
Public Library on Wednesday,
Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. The dis-
cussion will be facilitated by
Bill Chapla and all are invited
to attend. Admission is free.
This will be the perfect time to
discuss the phenomenon be-
hind the novel before the De-
cember release of Hollywood
movie of The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo. And of course,
you can view this much-antici-
pated film on the Dietrichs
screen. I cant wait to see Da-
niel Craig in the role of Mikael
Blomkvist.

more interested in taking a

T
he Scranton Prep Players,
the drama society at Scran-
ton Preparatory School, will
present The Wizard of Oz at the
Bellarmine Theatre in several per-
formances this month.
Performances will take place
Nov. 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m.
and matinee performances Nov. 13
and 20 at 2 p.m. A preshow will
preclude all performances, begin-
ning 30 minutes before the sched-
uled start time.
Director Ann Moyles, also a
teacher at Scranton Prep, said she
chose this play because its one of
her favorites. For the past three
years, I have stuck with dramas
and comedies. I was in the mood
for something different and I
thought this play would be fun.
The Wizard of Oz came to-
gether very well. We definitely
have the right people in the right
roles, she added. Its a great ex-
perience for all the students in-
volved.
According to Moyles, the play
has more than 125 students in-
volved in the production. The
auditions are open to everyone in
the school, not just members of the
Scranton Prep Players, so we al-
ways get a mix of old and new
faces, she said. Its interesting to
see who shows up and the variety
of students keeps it new and fresh.
Additionally, the students are
very hands-on for all aspects of the
play. Students create all of the
scenery, costumes, backdrops and
props. Im so proud of that, said
Moyles. I love working with my
students. They do such a great job
Moyles said she enjoys the entire
directing process, but some of her
favorite rehearsals are when the
students start becoming comfort-
able in their characters.
I love watching the show evolve
into their own, she added. Over-
all, The Wizard
of Oz is a
great play.
People of all
ages
will love this
performance. Its
a timeless and
classy play. Its
also fun and
wonderful.
Were having a blast.
The Scranton Prep Players is one
of the largest extracurricular activ-
ities at the school and the company
puts on two performances a year.
Tickets for the performance cost
$6 for children under 12, $8 for
students and $10 for adults. Tickets
will be available at the door, but
are also available for pre-purchase
at the box office. Moyles noted
that there is reserved seating, so
she encourages patrons to consider
purchasing tickets prior to the
event.
The Bellarmine Theatre is in
Scranton Prep High School, locat-
ed at 1000 Wyoming Avenue in
Scranton. The box office is open
from 2:45 -3:45 p.m. and 6 -7:30
p.m. Monday through Friday. For

Parents of emergent readers are encouraged to check the

the right-hand pages, which feature text written at a specific
early reading level. Developed with reading education spe-
cialists, the series brings parents and children together for a
newreading experience and faster reading development.
Look for two newtitles:
About Dogs by Bruce Johnson and Sindy McKay.
Designed to be read with very beginning readers, this book
features fun information about the worlds most popular pet.
It covers some of the breeds, and some of the special jobs
dogs do, including serving as rescue dogs and guide dogs.
Young dog lovers will find great photos and interesting facts
while practicing their skills.

er has sent her to spend the summer with her aunt and uncle

she meets a special pony that has been rescued froman ani-
mal shelter. Slowly, she begins to think that this summer
might not be so bad after all.

FACTORYVILLE- Thirty-
year-old Timothy Morris has
been all over the world. He has
traveled to 42 countries and
spent 14 weeks backpacking
throughout Europe and Africa
and his service in the Marine
Corp infantry led him all over
to places he couldnt get into
with his passport.
Ive seen a lot of stuff,
said Morris, whose book, A
Glorious Declaration: What
the Mountains are Saying and
Why it Matters, was recently
released.
The original reason I wrote
the book was to make the
book short and light so I could
hand it out. Thats really where
it all started. So then what I
did is I took those two things,
where does that draw come
from, to be in nature and look
at nature. I started paying
attention to it. When the
mountains speak; are they
really saying something? The
bottom line for me is I went
into the bible and tried to find
it. In each chapter, Id take a
different section of a passage
of the bible and study through
it. If I believe that God created
it, and it is creation not just
nature, then hes the one that
probably put the message
there. It is about him not me,
about the creator not creation."
The Factoryville resident
wrote A Glorious Declara-
tion in 2008 while looking
at nature and creation during
his journeys as manager of a
base camp in Northern Onta-
rio for a company known as
Pilgrimage, which offers
wilderness and education by
using the wilderness as the
classroom. Morris led wilder-
ness trips for three months
each year.
I looked at it, trying to
figure out what drew me in so
much. I didnt mind the phys-
ical demand of being out in
the woods. Every time I would
lead a trip Id always talk about
the wilderness and in the book
I noted theres not really much
in the world that makes us
speechless
Morris is also an avid reader
who enjoys many of the clas-
sics, including, The Last of
the Mohicans; a variety of
history books; the history of
the Marine Corps; and the
Bible.
As Morris was being de-
ployed, his brother inquired,
What are you going to do
while youre on a ship. Are
you going to read anything
are you taking any books? He
said to me, You know they
say that in five years youll be
the same person you are today
except for two things: the
people you call your friends
and the books you read; Start
thinking about that.
In the next six months he
read as many as 60 books.
Thats where my love for
books started. Eventually I
thought Id love to write a
book, said Morris.
He has earned degrees from
Baptist Bible College and
Seminary in Clarks Summit.
He resides in Factoryville
with his wife, Stacy, and their
two children.
A Glorious Declaration is

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
Timothy Morris wrote A Glorious
Declaration in 2008 while looking
at nature and creation during his
journeys as manager of a base
camp in Northern Ontario for a com-
pany known as Pilgrimage, which
offers wilderness and education by
using the wilderness as the class-
room.
W
hen Laura Ancherani
found an ad for an
alternative exercise
program in the back of a maga-
zine, she thought, No one
teaches this around here and
this is something Id really like
to do. I kept saying to my
mom, (Leslie Gleason) When
dancers get older what do they
do if they dont want to dance
professionally? Some dancers
have that enjoyment for dance
but they dont want to be pro-
fessional dancers. I never had a
desire to be a professional
dancer but I love to dance the
way you work through your
emotions when youre dancing.
I thought there have got to be
other people out there who like
to dance but as they get older,
they dont have that option
anymore.
Ancherani is referring to the
NIA Technique, a sensory-
based movement practiced in
more than 45 countries.
NIA is designed to move in
accordance with the way the
body is designed, so youre not
doing these hard, pounding
workoutseach workout has a
name and a focus, which is
another unique point to NIA.
So NIA brings that component
of sensing your body into the
workout as well, said An-
cherani.
Before deciding to join the
NIA movement, she re-
searched the program for a
year or so to determine if it
(the program) was something
she wanted to teach.
NIA, an acronym for Neu-
romuscular Integrative Ac-
tion, draws from disciplines
of the martial arts, dance arts
and
heal-
ing arts
and
every
class
of-
fers a
com-
bination
of 52
moves that
correspond with
the main areas of
the body: the base, the
core and the upper extremities.
The classes are taken barefoot
to soul-stirring music de-
signed to connect the body,
mind, emotions and spirit.
Debbie Rosas and Carlos
Rosas, NIA creators and foun-
ders, chose to eliminate repeti-
tive jumping commonly asso-
ciated with aerobic exercise
from their program. Their
concept is a blend of eastern
holistic principles with dance
and martial arts including
modern dance; yoga; Tae
Kwon Do; Alexander Tech-
nique; Jazz dance, Aikido;
Feldenkrais Method and Dun-
can Dance. NIA training series
includes several progressive
belt levels with the Black Belt
representing the highest level
of mastery. Ancherani is a
certified NIA White Belt
Teacher. All belt levels include
50 or more hours of education
in the form of movement, in-
teractive discussion and self-
reflection sessions.
Prior to joining the NIA
movement, Ancherani received
formal dance training in Clas-
sical Ballet, Jazz and Modern
Dance at the Civic Ballet
Company of Scranton and
apprenticed and assisted Irene
Petraglia at Civic
Ballet, Turi Stu-
dio of Dance
and Ballet The-

This 1908 postcard creation with multi-dimen-
sional aspects, including locks of blonde hair and
threaded dress adornments, was postmarked in
Chalindrey, France. The postmark further denotes
that it was stamped at the Haute Marne depart-
ment in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
TRESSES AND DRESSES
POSTCARD COURTESY JACK HIDDLESTONE
The brisk morning temper-
atures, the nippy breezes and
the flying golden, brown and
scarlet leaves tell me its apple
picking time...and even better,
the time to choose my favorite
pumpkin for carving. Most
porches on my street have vis-
itors carved pumpkins to
scare or delight - and my morn-
ing walks really make me
smile.
Even the Dalton Community
Library is in the spirit; theres a
glowing friendly pumpkin at
the desk and lots of reminders
that Halloween is almost here
all around the library. And Oct.
22, if you walked by the pump-
kin and down the stairs, you
would have found many Dalto-
nians and visitors busy selec-
ting books and goodies (
many of which sported pump-
kin themes) at our fall book
sale. We thank all who pre-
pared the books for the sale,
worked the sale, baked , and
those who came to find books
and sweets; it was wonderful to
see so many book lovers in one
spot. And the support you gave
our library is so vital to allow-
ing us to serve the community.
Thanks one and all!
I wish you all could have
been at the library October 24
when the Kreative Kids met.
Ten 4 th 6 th graders partici-
pated in a watercolor painting
program; in less than one hour
they had created some amazing
paintings of pumpkins in a
variety of autumnal settings.
And they even took time to
comment on the appealing
aspects of each others work.
Our thanks to the volunteers
who guided these youngsters so
enthusiastically, Lexie Langan
and Danielle Karwaski from
Keystone College, and a most
talented water color teacher,
Cindy Reynolds; the children
really enjoyed the session!
Kreative Kids meet every Mon-
day afternoon from4-5 p.m. If
your child is interested in join-
ing, call Janet Geeza at the
library (563.2014) and shell
answer your questions and
register your child (children)
for the program.
Then, those of you whose
pre-schoolers are looking for a
special treat on Tuesdays, dont
forget the story hour at 1p.m.
Janet Geeza leads the storytell-
ing, craft making, and song
sessions. Yes, this is a story
hour with many pluses and well
worth the trip to the library. If
youd like more information,
call Janet Geeza at the library
and shell be happy to welcome
you and your child to the
group.
Mornings at the library are
equally busy. Every Monday at
10:15, youll find a group of
people playing Mah-Jong; on
Tuesday at the same time, our
bridge players meet for many
lively hands of this game; and
then, on Thursday, Euckre
players meet for yet another
challenge. All groups meet
downstairs; newcomers or old
hands at any of the games are
always welcome. In fact, each
group loves to share its passion
for its favorite game. Stop by
and have a delightful morning.
Youll make it a habit.
At 10:30 a.m. Saturday
morning (usually the last Sat-
urday of the month) the library
features our Saturday Spotlight
reading group. Our November
19 (a week early because of the
Thanksgiving holiday) selec-
tion is Diane Ackermans The
Zookeepers Wife. In this
book, we learn of the most
creative way that the zookeep-
ers in Warsaw, Poland protect-
ed 300 Warsawghetto Jews
and numerous Polish resisters
fromthe ravages of the Stuka
bombers. Most critics have
found the crafting of this tale
and Ackermans language both
spellbinding and informative.
There are four copies and two
sound recordings of this work
available in the county library
system...and for you e-book
owners, its available on Kindle
and the Nook.
And then on Monday eve-
ning, Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m., we
are joining with the Albright
Library in the programScran-
ton Reads. We will be dis-
cussing, with Linda Mennicuc-
ci as our facilitator, Ray Brad-
burys Fahrenheit 451, a sci-fi
story of a firemen (and one
particular firefighter) who
dont put out fires, but rather
start themin order to destroy
books. The goal is to maintain
a civilization devoid of knowl-
edge and ideas. Its a scary
world, and the novels impact is
as strong on the contemporary
reader as it was 50 years ago
when it was first published. If
you are interested in joining us,
contact Janet Geeza at the li-
brary, 563.2014, as there still
may be a fewcopies of the
book available for your use.
Dont forget that Kindle
e-books have joined the of-
ferings available through our
county library system. If you
have a Kindle and would like to
download one of the librarys
Kindle holdings, find out about
the holdings and howto at
<http://lclshome.lib.over-
drive.com/ >
And do peruse the lovely
photos at our library. Paul Kre-
nitsy, a former Blakely resident
is the photographer and his
photos ( already mounted) are
for sale to benefit the Friends.
In addition, the Friends Fall
Raffle is in process. This fall
you could wins a portable Gar-
min GPS (5 inch), its case and
portable friction dashboard
mount. If you already have a
GPS, perhaps it might make a
nice gift for a parent, a child, or
for someone who travels and is
often renting a car. Tickets are
available at the circulation
desk. All money made by the
Friends is used to support the
librarys needs, so we hope you
can purchase a picture or a
raffle ticket.
Thats it folks... enjoy all
your Halloween goodies and
the remaining days of our love-
ly fall weather. The flakes will
be flying before you knowit.

LACKAWANNATRAIL- A Lacka-
wanna Trail High School senior reac-
hed a milestone during the Lions
42-6 victory over Montrose High
School Oct. 28 at Lions Pride Stadi-
um.
Senior fullback Eric Laytos sur-
passed the 1,000 yards rushing mark
for the second straight season to help
improve the Lions to 7-2.
Its a phenomenal accomplish-
ment, Lions coach Steve Jervis said.
Thats not only a feather in his cap,
but its a credit to the entire offense,
especially the offensive line.
On the Lions opening touchdown
drive, Laytos rushed for 42 yards on
three carries. Senior Josh Symuleski
capped off the scoring drive with a
one-yard touchdown run.
Laytos reached the milestone on a
25-yard touchdown run in the second
quarter to give the Lions a 14-0 lead.
Laytos finished the game with 115
yards rushing on nine carries and two
touchdowns.
Later in the quarter, Laytos also
contributed on the defensive side of
the ball when he forced a fumble on a
quarterback sack. On the ensuing
possession, senior quarterback Caleb
Darling handed the ball off to Laytos
twice. The two plays resulted in 27
yards rushing and Laytos second
touchdown of the game.
Between Laytos two touchdown
runs in the second quarter, Caleb Dar-
ling threw touchdown passes to sopho-
more Jonathon Zedar and senior Matt
Aten giving the Lions 28 points in the
quarter and 35 points in the first half.
Our quarterback has come so far,
Jervis said. He did a nice job spread-
ing the ball around tonight and hes

A cold, rain- filled night was
not enough to slow down the
Abington Heights High School
girls soccer team Oct. 27.
The Comets defeated West
Scranton High School 7-0 in their
semi-final game, and set the
school record for the most shut-
outs recorded in a single season
by a girls soccer team. The teams
defense was impenetrable and
helped set the record in style, not
allowing a shot on goal for the
entire game.
The game started out slow, both
teams unable to find their rhythm
offensively early on. The scoring
began when Michaelina Holmes
received a perfect pass right
through the middle of the defense
from Emily Sullivan. Holmes, a
freshman and starting her first
career playoff game, blasted the
ball past the West Scranton goal-
keeper with 21:09 remaining in
the first half of the game. The
comets led 1-0 and never looked
back as they started a shooting
frenzy.
Alex Chapman, scored the next
two goals of the game. Her first
goal, unassisted, displayed her
ability to make multiple moves to
get around defenders. Chapman
credited her close observation of
the previous game for her teams
rapid fire mentality.
I saw in that first game (be-
tween Wallenpaupack High
School and Pottsville High
School) the goalies were having a
hard time holding onto the ball
and we just figured if we keep
shooting some are going to get
through even if she blocks them at
first, Chapman said.
Lauren Hoyt scored a fourth
goal for the Comets with 8:21
remaining in the first half and the
Comets went into halftime with a
4-0 lead and a 20-0 shot differ-
ential.
The Comets opened up the sec-
ond half with an unassisted goal
by Abbey Burke with 28:28 re-
maining in the game and stretched
the team lead to five.
Two more goals from the
Comets by Maggie Scanlon, and
Cailey Ware capped off the scor-
ing for the rest of the game.
Out of three total goal keepers
used by Abington Heights, the
only times the they were given a
chance to touch the ball Thursday
night were in warm-ups and an
errant pass nearing the end of the
game.
Comets coach ET Hunter was
very proud of the way his team
played for the entire game.
It was great to see us come out
in this weather and really get after
it. It was obviously not the best
weather to play in but our girls
came out and knew what they had
to do. It was really a great effort
by our entire team the way they
never stopped playing hard and
Im proud of them, Hunter said.
The championship game will be
played on November 3 at Dun-
more High School against Potts-
ville High School. Hunter is an-
ticipating the game to be a good
one.
I just got to see them play for
the first time tonight. Theyre
really athletic team from what I
could see. Our girls are going to
have to be ready and I know both
teams are going to come out hard.
It should be a great game, Hun-
ter said.

DUNMORE- The Abington Heights
High School boys soccer team had
some extra motivation before their
quarterfinal game even began Oct.
26.
After learning that second-seeded
Coughlin was knocked out of the
district tournament earlier in the day,
the Comets made sure they would not
suffer a similar fate, as Abington
Heights routed Tunkhannock, 6-2, in
a District 2 class AAA quarterfinal
game at Dunmore High School. The
Comets improved their overall record
to 15-1-1 with the victory, and ad-
vanced to the semifinals of the dis-
trict tournament. Tunkhannock sees

way to a goal.

DIMOCK When the Class AAA boys race
was over Oct. 26, Abington Heights High
School senior Sean Burke described his plan
for the District 2 Cross Country Champion-
ships.
That description sounded remarkably similar
to the actual race he had just run.
The first mile I just wanted to sit back a
little bit in fifth or sixth place and kind of see
what happened, Burke said after covering a
wet 3.1.-mile course at Elk Lake High School
in a winning time of 16:35. The next mile, I
wanted to pick people off.
About a half-mile from the finish, I wanted
to put it all on the line.
Burke moved up from fifth place before the
midway point in the race. He worked his way
to the front of the pack, then over that final
half-mile, opened what wound up being a 10-
second margin over Valley Views Aaron Wil-
kinson.
Burke and the Dallas team, which won in
Class AAA boys, were the only new cham-
pions.
The Dallas girls and both Holy Redeemer
(Class AA) teams repeated titles along with
individuals Luke Jones from Elk Lake, Reagan
Rome from Dallas and Marissa Durako from
Holy Redeemer.

Jimmy McLaughlin has
been a factor on the mens
soccer team at Colgate Uni-
versity from the moment he
stepped on the field for the
Raiders. The freshman with
Abington
Heights
High School
ties scored
the game-
winning
goal in a 1-0
victory over
Syracuse in
the first
game of the
season.
It was a great way for him
to start the season, but had he
not scored, I think he still
would have been confident in
his abilities, Colgate mens
soccer head coach Erik Ron-
ning said. Its my hope that
he produces a little more for
us in some key games that we
have coming up.
McLaughlin, who has start-
ed all 17 games, was already
named the BRINE Patriot
League Rookie of the Week
twice this season. He is cur-
rently tied for fourth on the
team in points with four, tied
for fourth in goals with one,
and tied for third in assists
with two.
According to Ronning,
McLaughlin impacts the team
in many ways.
He has adjusted very well
to the college game, Ron-
ning said. He doesnt shy
away from bigger players,
hes been able to adjust to the
physical play and speed of the
game, and is very confident
under pressure. Those are big
things for a young player.
He creates many scoring
opportunities for our team
and is dangerous every time
he touches the ball. If an
opposing team tries to take
him out, it opens up chances
for others. His impact on the
game goes beyond the state
sheet.

Ronning thinks McLaugh-
lin has a good mindset and
will be a key member of the
team for years to come.
Hes a very confident kid,
Ronning said. He has a great
personality and is pretty laid
back, but he has a great in-
tensity about him on the
field. Hes a very dynamic
and special player. Hes an
integral part of our future as
are many other guys. We have
a good balance from our
freshman to our seniors. I
think the future is bright for
Colgate soccer.
The coach also believes
McLaughlin has the ability to
prosper after his days at Col-
gate are over.
He has some intangibles
that you cant coach, Ron-
ning said. Hes a guy that we
will certainly build around,
but he still has a lot to im-
prove on. He has a great work
ethic and is always improving
his game. If his continues on
an upward trend, the sky is
the limit for him. He has the
potential to play at the highest
level in the United States and
beyond.
During his high school
career at Great Valley High
School in Malvern,
McLaughlin set the school
record for most goals in a
season with 29 during his
senior year and scored 40 in
all. He was a 2010 NSCAA
Regional All-American and a
2010 Pennsylvania All-State
Selection.

comes to a close
JERMYN- Quarterback Ni-
cholas Dranchak was a game-
breaker on both sides of the ball
for the Vikings in their 35-13
victory over the Chiefs in a
Lackawanna Football Confer-
ence Division II game at Lake-
land Stadium.
The junior completed14 of 21
passes for 177 yards with two
touchdowns and rushed for 74
yards.
Riverside running back Ha-
keemLincoln, who rushed for
148 yards on 30 carries, scored
on an11-yard run with 4:35 left
in the first quarter. TimLebiak
added the extra point to give the
Vikings a 7-0 lead.
The line played amazing,
Lincoln said. Once I sawthe
blocks, I just turned up the
speed and got into the end
zone.
Dranchak connected with
tight end Michael Loftus for a
25-yard touchdown, capping a
five-play 66-yard drive on the
Vikings next possession. After
the extra point, Riverside led
14-0 with1:30 remaining in the
first quarter.
After gaining just 10 yards on
their first five drives, the Chiefs
advanced the ball to the Vik-
ings 30-yard line before Dran-
chak intercepted Lakeland quar-
terback Kyle Kiehart at the
7-yard line.
Riverside put together an
eight-play 91-yard drive on the
ensuing possession that was
capped by a1-yard touchdown
pass fromDranchak to Loftus.
The junior quarterback account-
ed for 58 yards on the drive.
Lebiaks extra point made the
score 21-0 with11seconds left
in the first half. Loftus finished
the game with five catches for
82 yards.
The Vikings drove 72 yards
on13 plays to start the second
half. They knocked 5:22 off the
clock and took full control of
the game when Lincoln scored
on a1-yard run with 5:31re-
maining in the third quarter.
I challenged the kids at half-
time and they went right down
the field a scored a touchdown,
Riverside head coach Evan Prall
said.
Lakeland got on the board on
the next possession when Kie-
hart found J.J. Rojenches for an
8-yard touchdown on fourth-
and-goal. Ryan Nichols added
the extra point to cut the lead
28-7.
After forcing a three-and-out,
the Chiefs edged closer when
Kiehart connected with Alex
Filarsky for a 5-yard touch-
down. Nichols missed the extra
point leaving the Vikings with a
15 point lead.
When Riverside needed a big
play in the fourth quarter, Dran-
chak looked to his most reliable
receiver. On third-and-nine
fromthe Vikings 29-yard line,
he connected with David Sweet-
man for a16-yard completion.
The sophomore caught six
passes for 60 yards, but none
were bigger than that conver-
sion.
It was a dig route, Dranchak
said. We practice it a lot. I
knewDave was going to be
open, hes always open.
Four plays later, Lincoln
scored his third touchdown of
the game on a 6-yard run to give
the Vikings a 35-13 lead with
7:21left in the fourth quarter.
He kept his legs churning all
night, Prall said. He ran ex-
tremely hard and I give credit to
our offensive line for opening
holes.
Dranchak sealed the victory
when he intercepted Kiehart for
the second time at the Vikings
35-yard line with 6:14 left in the
game.
Riversides defense held La-
keland to just 89 yards rushing
in the game. Prall was very
happy with his teams overall
performance.
The kids had to learn two
newsystems this year and they
have adapted very well, he
said.

After we saw what had
happened to Coughlin earli-
er in the day, we knew we
had to come out here and
make a statement, said
Comets junior Kevin Elwell,
who racked up a hat trick
with three goals in the
game, and narrowly missed
a fourth with a shot off the
crossbar. We just try to get
the ball to whoever the open
man is, and a bunch of us
were able to get open early.
Abington Heights wasted
little time getting on the
board, as Matt Hoyt opened
the scoring when he beat
Tunkhannock keeper Zac
Daniels on a ball that had
rebounded off the goalpost
for an early 1-0 lead. Elwell
collected his first goal of
the game just over a minute
later, and the Comets were
firmly in control of the mo-
mentum with less than 10
minutes off the game clock.
It was good to get the
early lead and build mo-
mentum, and to let our
younger kids get playing
time in the postseason,
Comets coach Steve Kling-
man said of his teams ef-
fort. We were up for a
challenge, and as your team
gets deeper into the play-
offs, that depth and desire
to build an early lead be-
comes more and more im-
portant.
I was pleased with the
way we did those things
tonight.
Ryan Patrick added anoth-
er goal at the 32-minute
mark, as Abington Heights
took a 3-0 lead into half-
time. In the second half,
Elwell struck for the second
time at the 44-minute mark,
before collecting his third
and final goal off an assist
from Sean Pinches less than
two minutes later. With his
team firmly in control of
the contest, Klingman sub-
stituted for the junior, as
Elwell sat down to applause
from the Comets fans in
attendance.
Tunkhannock finally man-
aged to get on the board
with just over 14 minutes
left in the game, as Ryan
Karnopp found the net for
the Tigers. Jacob Hughes
would add another goal for
Tunkhannock to set the final
score at 6-2 in favor of
Abington Heights.
We only had two seniors
this year, and our returning
players have room to grow,
Tunkhannock head coach
Mark Stroney said after the
contest. It was a god expe-
rience for our kids to play
against the speed, move-
ment, and overall quality
that Abington Heights
brings to the game.

The only score of the first
half came on North Poconos
next offensive possession. The
offense, starting on its own 20
yard line, capped off an 80
yard scoring drive with a 1
yard run by quarterback Jack
Williams. Most of the drive
was lead by Gething, totaling
63 yards rushing.
After 3 first half turnovers
by Abington Heights, the
Comets were trailing 7-0,
something Head Coach Joe
Repshis felt was fortunate for
his team.
Any time you have three
turnovers in the first half its
never good. The fact that we
were only down seven at the
half was big for us though.
Couldve and shouldve been a
lot more probably, Repshis
said.
According to sophomore
running back Quinn Karam,
the Comets were calm in the
locker room at half-time.
Coach just came in and got
NORTH POCONO- The
Abington Heights High
School football team defeated
the North Pocono Trojans
18-15 Oct. 28.
Running backs for both
teams took control of the
game in the cold, wet condi-
tions at North Pocono High
School. Quinn Karam ran for
162 yards for the Comets and
Trojans running back John
Gething also turned in a solid
effort, running for 147 yards.
The game started slow for
both teams offenses. After the
North Pocono offense was
forced to punt on its first pos-
session, the Abington Heights
offense had problems of its
own. The Comets started with
great field position to start the
drive, beginning at the 36-yard
line of the Trojans but were
unable to capitalize when
Quarterback Dante Pasqual-
ichio threw an interception in
the end zone from the 14-yard
us ready to go for the third
quarter. We came out really
fired up and starting making
plays, Karam said.
Abington Heights started
with the ball on its own 44-
yard line and finished its drive
with a one yard touchdown
run by Karam with 8:59 left in
the third quarter. The Comets
decided to attempt a two point
conversion after the Trojans
were called for a penalty, mov-
ing the ball closer to the goal-
line. They were successful and
took an 8-7 lead in the game.
The Trojans were unable to
get points on their next drive,
losing a fumble on fourth
down in Abington Heights
territory and the Comets were
ready to capitalize on the mis-
take.
The Comets drove back
down the field and senior
Brandon Pacyna opened the
fourth quarter scoring by
knocking in a field goal with
10:27 remaining in the game-
stretching the Comets lead to
11-7.
After two more failed drives
by the Trojans, Karam added
his second score of the game
with 1:36 left in the fourth
quarter. After a made extra
point, the score was 18-7 in
the Comets favor.
Down two scores, the Tro-
jans went to a hurry-up of-
fense to try and claw their way
back into the game. It worked,
as quarterback Jack Williams
connected on three big pass
plays to lead his team down
the field. A touchdown by
Gething and a successful two
point conversion made the
score 18-15 with 46 seconds
left in the game.
A failed onside kick by the
Trojans on the ensuing kickoff
sealed the victory for the
Abington Heights Comets and
gave them their first league
win of the year.
Repshis was more than
proud of the way his team
played.
I think everyone on our
team knew we had a chance to
win this game, even when we
were losing. I cant even de-
scribe how proud I am of this
team. Weve been in some
close games all year that
couldve gone either way and
this team deserved a win like
this. Im happy for them,
Repshis said.

just matured so much as a
quarterback over the past two
years.
Zedar scored his second
touchdown of the night when
he returned the opening kick-
off of the second half 74 yards
to give Lackawanna Trail a
42-0 lead.
The plays that he makes
being a sophomore are phe-
nomenal, Jervis said. Hes
definitely a playmaker and he
could be a key part as we get
ready for the playoffs.
The Lions defense shut
down the Meteors until mid-
way through the fourth quarter
when Montrose running back
Will Ely scored on a 39-yard
touchdown run. The score was
the only touchdown allowed
by Lackawanna Trail over the
last two games.
I think the past two weeks
defensively we did a good job
of taking offenses out of their
rhythm, Jervis said.
Constantly forcing quarter-
back Dylan Heeman out of his
comfort zone, Lackawanna
Trails defensive line contrib-
uted to Montroses lack of
rhythm. Senior Ben Lehman,
junior Justin Barber and Lay-
tos each recorded sacks for
the Lions.
One of the strengths of our
team is our defensive line,
Jervis said. If you try to dou-
ble team one of them some-
body else goes single blocked
and one-on-one theyre tough
to block.
With the game in hand late
in the fourth quarter, Jervis
sent the teams 11 seniors out
onto the field for the victory
formation. Darling kneed the
ball to run out the clock and
all 11 seniors finished their
final regular season game they
will play at home on the field.
Lackawanna Trail will face
Holy Cross High School at 1
p.m. Nov. 5 at Saint Anthonys
Playground. A victory over
the Crusaders would double
the Lions win total from last
season.
