Serving as president of the
Friends of the Abington
Community Library is an
honor and good deed, ac-
cording to Michael Tamma-
ro, of Peckville.
Tammaro talks about what
an important resource the
library is for the community
and how The Friends of the
Abington Community Li-
brary has been around as
long as the library itself and
is a separate entity from the
library board.
The Friends of the Abing-
ton Community Library is a
volunteer-based organiza-
tion designed to support the
library by fostering interest
in books and reading, focus-
ing attention on library ser-
vices, encouraging gifts of
books and collections, and
presenting programs of in-
terest to the community fun-
draisers which enables it to
contribute to the library
f inancially.
This March
will mark
Tammaros
second year
as president.
The posi-
tion was of-
fered to me
by the president before me. I
said sure because its just a
nice bit of prestige, I guess.
That, and it gets me involved
with the community more. I
feel like Im doing some-
thing good for the library,
he said.
Tammaro never knew the
Abington Community Li-
brary existed until he read
an article about Pete Chapla
who was showing movies at
the library.
I love f ilm and movies
and decided to take a ride
there. I became friends with
Chapla and those coming to
the f ilms. They had a cook
off contest and it was there I
met The Friends of the
Abington Community Li-
brary board members who
asked me to volunteer for a
book sale. Before I knew it,
they asked me to join the
board and thats how it all
fell into place, Tammaro
explained.
Though the organization
sponsors a wine-tasting
event once or twice a year as
a fundraiser and as a thank
you to the people who do-
nate to The Friends of the
Abington Community Li-
brary, the groups major
function is two book sales
one in October and April.
These sales, according to
Tammaro, bring in about
$16,000 - money that is nec-
essary to the library. That
money usually goes to pur-
chase books, supplies, DVDs
and library materials. What
it does not cover are library
employee salaries and util-
ities.
There is also a $500 schol-
arship to any college of
choice each year available
only to Abington Heights
students. Its based on a
combination of things, in-
cluding an essay. It is Tam-
maros job to allocate the
funds for that and any other
library usage of funds raised
throughout the year.
One of the things I enjoy
are the movies and speaker
and lecture series the library
puts on, Tammaro said. Its
a great way to get the com-
munity together. In fact, Ive
been doing f ilm series at the
library. I do themes. Fr ex-
ample, for the 50th anni-
versary, I did a movie every
month to spotlight every
decade, starting with the 60s
when the library came
about.
Last spring, Tammaro
conducted a f ilm series that
focused on Meryl Streep and
her movies and career. He
hopes to do another f ilm
series in March, perhaps, a
Sophia Loren foreign f ilm
theme.
I wanted to get involved
more socially and the Abing-
ton Community Library
sparked something in me,
Tammaro said.
The Friends group is cur-
rently in need of a secretary.
Anyone interested in donat-
ing or volunteering time can
contact Tammaro at
487.1194.
Tammaros background
includes some college where
he studied communications
at Mercer County College in
Trenton, NJ.
He has worked at Diversi-
f ied Technologies based in
Scranton on Montage Moun-
tain for more than four years
as an imaging specialist.

CLARKS GREEN -
The December meeting
of the Clarks Green
Borough Council was
held on Thursday, Dec.
29 to vote on the police
contract, the 2012 bud-
get and a lighting con-
tract for the Abington
Area Joint Recreation
Board.
The meeting began
with discussions con-
cerning the police con-
tract.
Only two police de-
partments submitted
bids, South Abington,
with whom Clarks
Green had the old con-
tract and was the high-
est bidder at $434, 026
for five years, and
Clarks Summit at $372,
961.93.
Council member Vic-
tor Alberigi expressed
his concern that Clarks
Summit, with its smaller
department, would not
be able to offer the level
of service expressed in
the contract.
Council member Mar-
nie ODea Palmer
echoed the concerns,
adding that she has
nothing against Clarks
Summit police but she
is just very happy with
South Abingtons cov-
erage. Dont fix what
isnt broken, she said.
Council member Mel-
lissa Jones stated that,
Im mostly concerned
with cost, adding that,
if Clark Summit police
can fulfill the contract
at a lesser cost then
that makes sense to me.
Council member
Lynne Earley added
there is a possibility of
police departments be-
ing consolidated in the
future which could fur-
ther complicate matters.
Council President Marie
King suggested voting
on a three-year contract
to counteract consoli-
dation complications,
but that suggestion was
voted down.
After police chiefs
from South Abington
and Clarks Summit, as
well as members of
Clarks Summit Council
both spoke to council
member, it was voted ,
4-3, to award the police
contract to South
Abington. It was voted
unanimously that the
contract extend for five
years.
The 2012 budget was
voted on unanimously,
although solicitor Alfred
Weinschenk mentioned
that new council mem-
bers of 2012 would be
permitted to review the
budget once they took
their seats.
On the matter of new
business, it was noted
that the Clarks Summit
fire department is need
of donations and that
Clarks Green Council is
accepting rsums to fill
council member Todd
Zimmermans seat once
his resignation takes
effect at the end of the
month.
Not broken?
Dont fix it!
Clarks Green Borough
Council decides to stay
with the South Abington
Police Department.

After more than a dec-
ade, Hildy Morgan has
stepped down as executive
director of the Dietrich
Theater and has handed
the job over to assistant
director Erica Rogler.
Morgan, who described
her time at the Dietrich
as the most fun experi-
ence of my entire life,
officially left the position
on Sunday, Jan. 1.
You have to know-
when its time to let go
and hand things over to
someone else, said Mor-
gan.
And, Im handing
things over to someone
younger and smarter.
Morgan said she had
been considering retiring
for the past year, and
knew when she did she
would have Rogler, an
engineering graduate from
Penn State who has
worked at the Dietrich
Theater for the last eight
years, take her place.
I feel like its been a
great learning experience,
Rogler said of her time
working under Morgan.
Im looking forward to
making sure the Dietrich
is here for future gener-
ations.
Rogler proved she was
true to her word this past
September when she took
charge during the flood,
ensuring the Dietrich
would not only be around
for future generations but
for present ones, as well.
She helped minimize the
damage by having volun-
teers take out the seats in
the theater and move
them to higher ground
before the water rose so
they wouldnt be de-
stroyed.
Once they were allowed
back in the building, vol-
unteers came to help re-
pair the damages.
Morgan said it was at
this point she realized it
was time to make the
change.
When the flood hit I
knew it was time, said
Morgan. It was so hor-
rendous and overwhelm-
ing.
After I saw that, I
knew I neither had the
energy nor the spirit to
take on that type of ca-
tastrophe. Five years ago
I could have, she added
And with that, Morgan
decided to step away from
the day-to-day work of
the theater she helped
re-establish in the commu-
nity.
The Dietrich closed its
doors in the 1980s, and
the building was left un-
used until 1998 when
Morgan, along with Sandy
Vieczorek, Linda Learn,
Barb Jones, Margie Young
and Ester Harmatz decid-
ed to find a way to reo-
pen it.
The four held a meeting
with the theaters then-
owner, Eric Brown, who
offered to sell them the
building for $175,000. He
offered to hold the mort-
gage for a year, but want-
ed a $34,000 down pay-
ment within five weeks,
or he was going to look
for another buyer.
The group didnt have
the money, but went to
the local newspaper to tell
their story, and requested
the public to send in a
donation to help them
save the theater. By the
five-week deadline they
had raised over $50,000.
During Morgans time as
executive director, she had
a hand in a number of
improvements to the thea-
ter, including the expan-
sion from two to four
screens and the addition
of the annual spring and
fall film festivals.
Although shell be walk-
ing away from the day-to-
day activities, Morgan-
plans to continue booking
films for the theater dur-
ing the year and for the
festival.
Im glad she wants to
stay on; she books the
best movies, said Rogler.

Leadership Lackawanna,
the leadership development
arm of The Greater Scranton
Chamber of Commerce,
announced the four class
projects to be completed
during the 2011-2012 pro-
gram year.
As part of the 10-month
Leadership Lackawanna
(LL) core program, class
participants complete vari-
ous community service pro-
jects that help enhance par-
ticipants leadership skills
and help foster teamwork.
All projects impact the
community, address a need,
result in a tangible end
product and are completed
by the end of the program
year. The Class of 2011-2012
will complete the following
community service projects
which help to benefit four
area nonprofit organiza-
tions:
First Friday Scranton
StArt! is a collaborative
project with First Friday
Scranton which will further
the revitalization efforts in
downtown Scranton by unit-
ing artists and building own-
ers. The project will be two-
fold with a live art competi-
tion in May where the win-
ners work will be unveiled
in vacant storefront win-
dows at the June First Fri-
day.
Gravity Slope
Colliery Authority
This project will restore
one of the three historic
buildings remaining on the
Gravity Slope Colliery site
in Archbald known as the
Oil House. The building
was used to store bulk ship-
ments of oil that was then
pumped into smaller con-
tainers to be transported by
oilers for lubrication of
mining cars, lifts, fans and
gears and miners lamps.
The project will consist of
work on roof repair, ceiling
construction, door and win-
dow replacement, brick-
work, graffiti removal,
painting, new stairs and
exterior site clean-up and
landscaping.
Scranton Civic
Ballet Company
This project consists of a
one-day event where North-
eastern Pennsylvania chil-
dren will come together in
downtown Scranton to par-
ticipate and learn about the
fun they can have being
physically active. The chil-
dren will participate in dif-
ferent styles of dance, exer-
cise and physical move-
ments to show them how to
maintain a healthy lifestyle
for their future. The event
will conclude with a carni-
val, prizes and the creation
of a mural that will be repli-
cated and displayed on the
Scranton Civic Ballet build-
ing.
Skills in Scranton
The Futures Now project,
in cooperation with Skills in
Scranton, is designed to
educate local high school
students about the impor-
tance of math and science
courses in preparation for
future careers. This project
will educate and teach stu-
dents how to obtain skills
needed for careers in build-
ing trades, electronics,
health care and Marcellus
Shale thorough career ou-
treach activities.
Completing community
projects is not only a strong
part of the class curriculum,
but a mutually benefiting
experience for the bene-
fiting organization and my
class participants, said Ni-
cole A. Barber, Leadership
Lackawanna administrator.

Seventh and eighth-grade students from Abington Christian Academy (ACA) delivered over four-hundred non-per-
ishable items to the Scranton Rescue Mission the day before Thanksgiving.
The idea for the food drive came from an Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI) Middle School Lead-
ership Conference that the students attended in New Jersey last month. According to eighth-grader Eden Brock, the
theme of the conference was Integrity.
Integrity means being the same person on the inside as you are on the outside, says Brock. We wanted to ex-
press our faith and our concern for people who dont have enough to eat. We wanted our giving to reflect who we are
inside.
To add excitement to the food drive, the junior high students offered a prize to the class thatbrought in the largest
number of items with the prize going to the fifth- and sixth-grade class.

2012 has already dawned

thanks to Scrantons First
Night. But whether you cele-
brated or not, best wishes and
all good for this newyear
come to you fromthe Dalton
Community Library, its board,
staff and friends.
2012 may begin slowly (in
terms of programs at our li-
brary), but certainly no less
enthusiastically.
Aspecial winter reading
programfor youngsters (and
parents) frombirth to age 11
begins on January 9 and ex-
tends to February17. Its called
Warmup with a Good Book
and it involves keeping a log of
all reading youre doing. On
February17, youll submit
your log to Janet Geeza or
one of the other staff and
you, or the child or children
youve read to, will be eligible
for prizes.
There are plenty of great
picture books, story and chap-
ter books available at the li-
brary and if you cant find a
particular book or one by a
favorite author, it may be avail-
able within the systemand
should be in your hands a few
days after youve requested it.
This is one of the great bene-
fits of our county library sys-
tem.
Although our weekly pre-
schoolers Story Hour, Tues-
days at 1p.m., wont resume
until February 6, there will be
a very Special Story Hour
on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 1p.m. A
guest reader fromFriendship
House is coming to read to the
children and it promises to be
place in a working class Du-
blin neighborhood where
theres a strong sense of com-
munity, one that has existed
for many generations. The
novel is available within our
library systemand having read
all three of Frenchs works, I
can promise you that you will
not want to put these books
down. Dont hesitate to join us
on January 28.
And before I close, I should
mention that the changing of
the guard has taken place
among the Friends. Eileen
Szymanski is our newchair;
Cynthia Holbert, our vice
president; Sue Scondras, our

French is a relatively new

to her credit. Her first book,
In the Woods, won the Edgar

and all of her novels have been
NewYork Times best sellers.
This novel/mystery, like all of
her novels, is much more than
who done it? but rather a
work that features complex
psychological relationships
among her characters, each of
whomis skillfully drawn.
All of her novels are set in

Because we come with
other people we knowyou
kind of make each other
come, and that helps, said
Spangler. Its very motiva-
ting to know that people are
going to know if you dont
show up.
We try to encourage other
people to come and be here
together because it is a lot of
fun, she added

Mary Phillips of Dunmore,
who joined a year ago.
Along with her peer support,
credits her teacher for keep-
ing her motivated.
He motivates us, and hes
very challenging, and you
really leave with a sense of
accomplishment when youre
done, said Phillips.
In addition to motivation,
Zywicki explained that a
teacher or trainer could be a
valuable tool for anyone new
to working out when it
comes time to develop an
For some, the beginning of
a new year means its time
for New Years resolutions,
and one of the most popular
resolutions is getting in bet-
ter shape.
Brian Zywicki, a personal
trainer with HITFitness and
cycling teacher at Sicklers
Bike and Sports Shop in
Clarks Summit, traditionally
sees a spike in businesses
during the first few months
of the year, but anywhere
from 60 to 75 percent of
those newcomers end up
quitting on their resolution
fairly early.
Theres a number of rea-
sons (people dont last),
said Zywicki. Id say the
number one reason is people
will get frustrated because
either they dont see results
or theyre measuring the
wrong results.
The results on which many
of his clients are measuring
their success are the num-
bers on the scale, and they
usually get frustrated when
the numbers arent getting
lower.
Zywicki explained its
important for people just
starting out to realize that
they generally wont see
results until six or eight
weeks, and possibly not the
results they were expecting.
A lot of people have a
hard time with the concept
that muscle weighs more
than fat, said Zywicki. I
try to always explain that the
more muscle you build, the
more fat thats going to burn
in the long run.
I try to tell people that
you may not see the numbers
on the scale but think about
how your pants fit, think
about how your shirt fits,
think about that kind of
thing, and start there, be-
cause youre going to start
seeing physical things first,
before you ever start seeing
numbers change, he added
Another popular reason
why some people, who work
out by themselves, end up
quitting is pure boredom.
For this, several of Zywickis
cycling students recom-
mended working out with a
buddy.
Abington Heights Middle
School teacher and Clarks
Summit resident Sandy
Spangler joined the class
two years ago after hearing
good things about the class
from her friend and co-work-
er, Amy Lange.
The two began attending
the class with a group of
friends, and Spangler credits
that with her sticking with it.
exercise program.
If you dont know what
youre doing, get a personal
trainer, or at least get some
advice from someone who
knows what theyre doing so
that they can help you build
a program that you feel com-
fortable with, you under-
stand the exercises, you
know how do the exercises,
and that it has variation,
said Zywicki.
Thats a mistake, people
dont add variation. Every
week theyre doing the same
exercises over and over
again, and youre never go-
ing to see results like that.
Your body is just going to
get used to it, he added
Zywicki went on to say
that many gyms offer a few
free sessions with a trainer,
and those who can, should
take advantage of that. For
those who dont have access
to a trainer, Zywicki recom-
mended doing some type of
research on workout pro-
grams before starting.

thored, entitled Sustained
Competitive Advantage
through Green Supply
Chain Management Prac-
tices: A Natural-Re-
source-Based View Ap-
proach, at the 2011 An-
nual Meeting of the A-
cademy of Management.
Supply chain manage-
ment (SCM) is playing a
more central role in help-
ing firms gain and sustain
a competitive advantage
in todays business land-
scape.
One of the demands
confronting firms and
their supply chain mem-
bers is the deterioration
of the earths environment
and the pace at which
society is consuming the
planets finite resources.
As a result, stakeholders
are putting intense pres-
sure on firms to conduct
business in ways that pro-
mote environmental sus-
tainability.
The ability of firms to
offer eco-friendly goods
and services, and do so in
environmentally sustain-
able ways, will require
the cooperation of the
firms supply chain part-
ners, whose supplies (and
activities in generating
supplies) can significantly
affect the environmental
impact of the firms final
product.
Consequently, there is
growing pressure for more
environmentally sound
practices to be integrated
into supply chain activ-
ities. This paper identifies
the types of key resources
and capabilities under-
lying green supply chain
management (GSCM)
practices for implement-
ing pollution prevention,
product stewardship and
sustainable development
strategies and then dem-
onstrates why they pos-
sess the characteristics of
strategic assets and dis-
tinctive competencies,
respectively, and thus are
sources of sustainable
competitive advantage.
The study also provides
implications for manag-
ers. First, top manage-
ment should consider
greening their firms sup-
ply chain, not only to
comply with regulations,
but also to be more com-
petitive and further im-
prove their firms per-
formance. The adoption
of comprehensive green
supply chain management
practices will distinguish
the firm and its supply
chain partners from other
supply chains in the busi-
ness.
And second, managers
can use the framework
developed in this paper as
a template in developing
best practices. They could
refer to this framework to
incrementally increase the
span of their green prac-
tices to incorporate their
upstream supply chain
partners as well as their
downstream partners. In
doing so, their firm will
engage in system-wide
green activities that would
benefit every member of
the supply chain.

SEMINARY DEANS LIST
The Diocese of Scranton
Vocation Office is hosting a
weekend of discernment for
young men in high school
and beyond, ages 16 to 30,
Friday-Sunday, Feb. 10-12 at
Fatima Center, 1000 Semi-
nary Rd., Dalton.
The weekend is designed
to assist them in recognizing
whether God is inviting them
to step forward to offer their
lives as diocesan priests.
The program includes a
presentation on the basics of
praying into Gods will for
us, testimony from current
seminarians, celebration of
Mass, personal prayer, and
fraternity.
Many young men have
imagined the possibility of
being a priest one day. Many
have been told by others that
they possess the qualities
that would make a good
priest. Often as young men
consider their future, the
idea of priesthood occurs
over and over again, even as
they look to other possible
careers or to the married
life, said Father Jim Raffer-
ty, Diocesan vocation direc-
tor.
Frequently, young men
find peace around their
search to know where God is
leading them by talking
about their interest in priest-
hood and by listening to the
experience of those who
have already decided to enter
seminary to become priests.

Green participated in Penn
States first canning week-
end of the school year, stay-
ing at a students house in
Princeton, New Jersey.
I thought it was a lot of
fun, so I said, hey, lets have
one at my house, we have
room, said Arielle.
It was wonderful, said ,
Bellette Green, Arielles
mother. It was very loud.
Youd be amazed how loud 50
people are. But it went really,
really well.
The guys stayed up in the
bonus room, we had air mat-
tresses in the living room. My
daughters gave up their bed-
rooms, so there were girls in
those two bedrooms. They
basically took over the house,
she added
While Bellette was worry-
ing about where everyone was
going to sleep, Arielle said
one of her concerns was the
publics reaction. The can-
ning weekend was scheduled
right on the heels of the arrest
of former Penn State assistant
football coach Jerry Sand-
usky.
We were kind of nervous
because the first canning trip
was before the scandal and the
second was after, and no one
was really sure how people
were going to respond. We
definitely had comments
when we were out there can-
ning, and some people did say
some mean things. But then,
other people were saying, we
still love Penn State.
The students collected from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday,
Dec. 3, in the Clarks Summit,
Dickson City and Scranton
areas and raised close to
$7,000.
When they arrived back at
the Green home, they were
Charity begins at home is a
saying that one area family
embodied earlier last month
when it opened its home to 50
students from Penn State Uni-
versitys main campus.
The Green family of Dalton
housed and fed the students
during the first weekend of
December while they were in
the area collecting for THON.
THON is the largest stu-
dent-run philanthropy in the
world, said Penn State fresh-
man Arielle Green.
Its a really big thing at
Penn State, and they do a
bunch of different fundraising
techniques and one of them is
having canning weekends. All
of the different clubs at Penn
State, theres four weekends
through the year, and they go
out to different locations, and
they stay in students houses
andthe students go out with
cans and stand on intersec-
tions and collect, Green said.
According to THON.org,
the program is a year-long
effort that raises funds and
awareness for the fight against
pediatric cancer, with funds
benefiting The Four Dia-
monds Fund at Penn State
Hershey Childrens Hospital.
The Four Diamonds Fund
offsets the cost of treatment
that insurance does not cover,
as well as expenses that may
disrupt the welfare of the
child. The fund supports the
medical team that cares for
the children and funds pediat-
ric cancer research through
start-up grants and the Four
Diamonds Pediatric Cancer
rewarded for their hard work
with a pasta dinner prepared
by the Green family.
It was nice to see, even
with everything going on at
Penn State, that these kids
were willing to give their time
and stand out in the cold, be-
cause it was pretty cold that
weekend, Bellette Greeen
said.
The money collected during
the first weekend in Decem-
ber will be donated to THON,
which will announce how
much the students raised over
the course of the year at the
Penn State IFC/Panhellenic
Dance Marathon, scheduled
for Feb. 17-19 at Penn States
Bryce Jordan Center.

The new year can mean
a new start for some look-
ing to make a change in
their life. And for those
hoping to make quitting
smoking that change, Dip-
ti S. Pancholy, MD, is
offering a few helpful
tips.
She writes in an email
that the first major re-
quirement to quit smoking
is making the decision to
do it.
After that, individuals
should write down why it
is important for them spe-
cifically that they stop
smoking. Is it bad breath,
or child who has asthma,
higher insurance premiums
or higher risk of lung can-
cer, stroke or heart attack?
Next, they should set the
quit date.
Then they should line
up a support team, and
tell important people in
their life about that date,
especially a doctor,
spouse, friends, coworker
and siblings.
She warns that cold tur-
key is not for everyone,
and a doctor may be able
to provide the guidelines
for use of nicotine gum or
inhaler or medications to
help the attempt be more
successful, and said that
people who have a coach
are twice as likely to quit
successfully.
Pennslvanias Free
Smoking Quitline,
1.877.724.1090 is another
resource that can help.
Dr. Pancholy also wants
people who try to remem-
ber that if they dont suc-
ceed, the attempt is still
considered a success. The
majority of ex-smokers
have made several at-
tempts.
Breaking
the habit
Maureen Mahoney, a Lackawanna Trail Ele-
mentary Center nurse, coordinated several fun-
draisers in the district. All together Lackawanna
Trail helped 110 children this holiday season.
Some of the fundraisers Mahoney coordinat-
ed included helping several classes adopt fam-
ilies, several local churches adopt families and
10 families adopt other families.
She also organized a PJ for the Holidays
donation in the third grade class.
The class collected approximately 100 pairs
of pajamas t donated to school families,
Wyoming County Aftercare Program, Victims
Resource Center in Tunkhannock and Womans
Resource Center in Scranton.
This is the second year the third-grade class
has collected pajamas.

Shel Silverstein just keeps
on giving.
In his classic tale of love,
generosity and sacrifice,
The Giving Tree, Silver-
stein tells the touching story
of a tree that loves a little boy
so dearly that it sacrifices all
of itself to nurture and pro-
tect the child, even providing
the boy with firewood after it
dies. While the boy in the
story fails to appreciate all
the tree has done for him,
readers young and old will
be thankful for an unexpect-
ed gift from the poet, illus-
trator, singer and songwriter,
who died in 1999 at the age
of 67.
Thanks to a collaboration
among his friends, family,
and publisher, HarperCol-
lins, Everything on It, a
collection of 145 of Silver-
steins previously unpublish-
ed poems and drawings
came out this year, just in
time for the holidays. This
posthumous work has many
of the characteristics that
made his earlier books, such
as Where the Sidewalk
Ends, and A Light in the
Attic, so endearing to read-
ers of all ages.
Like Where the Sidewalk
Ends, my childrens person-
al favorite, the new book
combines silliness with the
sophisticated word-play and
use of sound that marks Sil-
verstein as a true poet. Take
ACar with Legs, for exam-
ple:
A car with legs
Instead of wheels
Wears out soles
But never tires.
Im sure that you
Can well afford her
Shes in perfect
Running order.
Just in case a child might
miss the joke, the poemis ac-
companied by an illustration
of a little convertible pro-
pelled by four enormous legs
decked out in running shoes.
Kids in particular will also
continue to love the ghoulish
quality of some of the po-
ems. People in Silversteins
poems have a way of disap-
pearing, dying, or meeting
the grizzly fates they de-
serve, but the humor keeps
us from feeling too bad
about these unfortunates. A
favorite of my elder child ap-
pears in Where the Side-
walk Ends. Back when she
was presented with a baby
brother, she loved Dread-
ful, which begins with the
line Someone ate the baby,
and ends with I simply cant
imagine who/ Would go and
(burp) eat the baby. His
most recent volume, How
Hungry is Polly? predicts
the demise of a little girl who
says, Im so hungry I could
eat a horse. Her remark
prompts a tired old nag graz-
ing nearby to retaliate, say-
ing: And when I get insult-
ed/ My appetite runs wild,/
And now I feel so hungry,/I
could eat a child.
Another quality that
makes children laugh out
loud is the gentle naughti-
ness of some offerings. In
Silversteins poems, kids
belch, scratch, pick their
noses, have bad breath and
get heroically filthy. He also
understood how much chil-
dren (and, I suspect, some
adults) adore poop jokes. In
this volume, a puppy obedi-
ently poops on a newspaper
while someone is reading it,
and in Investigating, a pro-
fessor trying to figure out
Just how the elephants tail
was tied/Onto the elephants
leathery hide gets an enor-
mous surprise. Need I say
more?
While young readers love
this sort of low humor, they
also like Silversteins won-
derful list poems. My kids
were crazy about Sarah
Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would
Not Take the Garbage Out,
from Where the Sidewalk
Ends. Not only does it have
a rollicking rhythm, but it al-
so features a two-page list of
all the garbage that piles up.
In Everything on It, poems
such as Twenty-Eight Uses
for Spaghetti, The Dance
of the Shoes and Food of-
fer more of the same pleasur-
es and demonstrate the poets
wonderful imagination.
One of the reasons adults
appreciate Silversteins
books is that he manages to
work in, without being over-
tly moralistic, many lessons
on how to behave, how to
look behind a persons exte-
rior to see his or her true
worth and about howto think
for oneself. Classic exam-
ples include Rude Rudy
Reese, Yesees and Noees,
and In Her a poemabout
a woman who dresses entire-
ly in clothing made fromani-
mals. We see her hypocrisy
in the illustration - she car-
ries a sign that becomes the
poems last line: Save the
Whales.
Silverstein was a brilliant
wordsmith, but many of the
jokes and much of the fun in
this and his previous books
come from his matchless
black-and-white illustra-
tions. You have to see his in-
tricate line drawings to ap-
preciate their humor, but I
will tell you that in Every-
thing on It, the punch line of
many of the poems is visual.
For instance, in The Hat, a
man wears a tall top hat and
on the next page, we see why
- he has an amazingly tall
head.
For all its fun and games,
Everything on It also has a
hint of sadness that will
touch readers who have
loved Silversteins work. The
book ends with a poem
called When I Am Gone
that asks readers who will
write and draw for them
when the poet is gone, but
ends on an encouraging note
by suggesting that his re-
placement may be them-
selves. For me, the saddest,
sweetest poem in the collec-
tion is the one that opens the
book. Years from Now al-
most reads as a sort of bene-
diction:
Although I cannot see your
face
As you flip these poems
awhile,
Somewhere from some
far-off place
I hear you laughing and I
smile.
So read this book, share it
with children you love, and
laugh, just as Shel Silver-
stein would have wanted you
to do with this, his unexpect-
ed gift.

popular recreation spot for
community members. Walkers
and joggers frequently use
many of the paths on campus
for exercise.
Other recent improvements
have included general clean-

Last week, over 15
young artists came out to
the Dietrich and participa-
ted in Holiday Camp for
children ages 5 to 12
years old.
With guidance from in-
structors Amy and Steve
Colley, they learned how
to throw pots on potters
wheels and created unique
3-D collages from recy-
cled household items. I
was quite amazed by the
creativity of these stu-
dents.
One student fashioned a
giraffe out of toilet paper
rolls, a rotisserie chicken
container and a yogurt
cup. Another student de-
signed a bird from a plas-
tic cup, toilet paper rolls
and a few other items.
Their 3-D masterpieces
were whimsical and full
of life.
If yore looking for art
classes to spark your
childs creativity and
imagination, Amy and
Steve will offer a variety
of visual art classes for
children this winter at the
Dietrich.
Students will be able to
explore pottery and sculp-
ture, puppetry and 3-D
collage. The focus of the
January classes will be on
pottery and sculpture.
During these classes, stu-
dents will learn to work
with potters wheels, de-
velop hand-building (coil
and slab construction)
techniques and create
sculptures.
For children ages 5 to
8, All About Pottery &
Sculpture will be held on
Fridays, Jan. 13-Feb. 3
from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Stu-
dents ages 9 to 12 years
old can attend similar
classes from 4 to 5:30
p.m. on Thursdays, Jan.
12-Feb. 2.

T
he world traveling Pola-
roid exhibit Art in an
Instant: Death of Pola-
roid featuring work by
artists Alan Goodrich,
Amanda Kilton, Brian Jolley, David
Weldzius, Deanne Witman, Greg
Edmondson, Kelly Burris, Linda
Greg, Liz Gresey, Mandy Lamb,
Mari Seder, Melanie Boisseau, Mi-
chael Cook, Michelle Boire, Mor-
gan Tyree, Stephanie Putland and
Susan Evans will appear at the New
Visions Studio and Gallery in
Scranton through the month of Ja-
nuary.
The exhibit is inspired by the
death of the Polaroid Company and
focuses on the legacy of the Pola-
roid image.
Originally founded by Edwin H.
Land in 1937, the Polaroid quickly
became an icon of modern photog-
raphy. By the time the corporation
celebrated its 50th birthday in 1987,
it employed more than 13,000 work-
ers and held over 1,000 individual
patents, earning close to 1.3 billion
dollars per year.
Polaroid cameras, film and tech-
nology inspired thousands of artists
for 71 years until February 2008
when Polaroid announced its plan to
withdraw all of its instant film
products from the market, shocking
artists worldwide. This unexpected
announcement was the impetus for
creating this exhibition.
Art in an Instant is organized
into four categories of photography
- portrayal, still life and landscape,
conceptual, and abstract images.
These designations are entirely
fluid. As viewers will see in this
show, many images can be easily
placed into different categories than
the ones theyve been assigned to,
giving them a transcendent power.
I am delighted to be presenting
such a variety of work in this show,
Matthew Mroz wrote in an email
publicizing the show.
Mroz, a Keystone College alumni,
will have a glass, metal and mixed
media sculpture on display as at the
studio through January.
New Visions Studio & Gallery
will hold an opening reception for

New fiction for the New Year
El Gavilan by Craig McDonald - New Austin, a small
Ohio town, is grappling with waves of undocumented work-
ers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police and
city services. The murder of a Mexican-American woman
triggers a brutal chain of events, dividing families, threat-
ening careers and lives and testing friendships and ideals.
Hurt Machine by Reed Farrel Coleman - PI Moe Prager
is approached by his ex-wife, Carmella Melendez, asking
for help. Her sister, Alta, a fire department EMT, has been
murdered in New York City and no one seems to care.
Making headway on the case is no easy feat for Moe as no
one, including Altas partner Maya Watson, wants to coop-
erate, but he uncovers clues to bureaucratic greed, harass-
ment and blackmail. Are any of the leads connected to the
brutal murder?
Hot Water by Erin Brockovich - Environmental activist
AJ Palladino is asked to investigate a series of mishaps at a
new, one-of-a-kind nuclear facility, Colleton River, in South
Carolina. AJ uncovers the source of the plants accidents,
but before she can stop its meltdown, her life takes a disas-
trous turn. After an approaching hurricane prevents her
from returning home to West Virginia, she learns that her
son has disappeared. Can she save not only the plant but the
community and herself and her son in time?
One Moment, One Morning by Sarah Rayner - The
lives of three women become inextricably linked after a
life-changing event during their morning commute on the
7:44 a.m. Brighton-to-London line. For these three pas-
sengers, life will never be the same again. Telling the story
of the week following that fateful train journey, the novel
ultimately is about love and loss, about family, and above
all, about friendship.

ing among local fans.
The band has played
popular local venues and
has even taken part in
other acts CD release
shows.
We play The Keys a lot
and it just fit to have our
release there, McGlynn
said. We like the envi-
ronment and the people -
its comfortable.
The Wheels was re-
corded at Sound Invest-
ment Studios in Old
Forge.
The song-writing process
was standard compared to
other bands. McGlynn said
he would develop the ba-
sic song structure, the
band would collaborate on
it as a whole and the fin-
ished product would be a
Blinded Passenger song.
Fridays performance
begins at 9 p.m. and fea-
tures opening acts Rafael
Pimentel, A Fire With
Friends and A Social
State. Admission is $5 and
includes a copy of The
Wheels.
Blinded Passenger has
one goal in mind: to re-
lease its music as quickly
as possible.
The group continues that
mission on Friday, Jan. 6
at The Keys, 244 Penn
Ave., Scranton when it
conducts the release party
for its second EP, titled
The Wheels.
Full-length albums take
a long time, said lead
singer and guitarist Patrick
McGlynn. The goal of
our band is to release mu-
sic quickly to people who
want to hear it. So we
wrote and recorded a few
songs and released them.
The intention of Blinded
Passenger was to release a
longer record with a mini-
mum of nine songs, but
an injury suffered by the
bands drummer, Steve
Werner, put that on hold.
Band members then decid-
ed to put out the material
theyhad already complet-
ed.
Blinded Passenger,
which is rounded out by
Michael Borthwick (pi-
ano), Kevin Stone (bass)
and Stefan Ogonosky (gui-
tar), formed in Scranton in
2006 and has a variety of
different influences.
McGlynn described the
sound of the band as Tom
Petty meets Foo Fighters.
The Wheels is a fol-
low up to The Man in
the Cannon. With the
previous EP, filled with
upbeat tunes and catchy
lyrics, Blinded Passenger
Local band Blinded Passenger is comprised of, from left, Kevin Stone,

The Actors Circle will
hold auditions for Beth
Henleys Pulitzer Prize win-
ning comedy, Crimes of
the Heart, on Sunday and
Monday, Jan. 15 and 16, at
6:30 p.m. at the Providence
Playhouse, 1256 Providence
Rd., Scranton.
The company is looking
for actors ages 20 to 50.
The show is scheduled
for March 22-25 and 30-
April 1.
Carol Arena is directing
the play, which Actors Cir-
cle describes as a delight-
fully quirky, screwball com-
edy about three eccentric
young sisters who live in
the real-life town of Hazel-
hurst, Mississippi circa
1974-75.
The oldest sister, Lenny
MaGrath, is celebrating her
30th birthday. She is the
most responsible and level-
headed of the three, but
severely lonely.
Her younger sister Meg
MaGrath, 27, is a bit wild
with an unpleasant history

SCRANTON- Abington Heights claimed its
fourth championship while playing in its seventh
straight final in the Ninth Annual Lynett Memo-
rial Tournament.
Tiffany ODonnell and Breanna Toro were part
of a balanced offense and contributed to a strong
defensive effort that carried Abington Heights to
a 39-29 victory in the final, held on Dec. 27.
The game matched the two Lackawanna
League teams with the best overall records this
season and the most impressive recent histories.
Dunmore, the last unbeaten from the league,
suffered its first loss since last seasons state
Class AA championship game. The Lady Bucks
(6-1) have won the last six Lackawanna Division
2 and District 2 Class AA titles.
Abington Heights finished the night on a six-
game winning streak and with the best overall
record among league teams at 7-1. The Lady
Comets had won four straight Lackawanna Divi-
sion 1 titles before falling short last season when
they still managed to win a second straight dis-
trict title, claiming the Class AAAA champion-
ship.
The Lady Comets opened the tournament with
a fourth-quarter rally for a 48-34 victory over
defending champion Scranton Prep.
They locked up the title by shutting down a
Dunmore rally, thanks to a defensive adjustment
that changed ODonnells assignment to Alexa
Gerchman in the man-to-man defense.
Gerchman drew a third foul on Lauren Hoyt by
posting up and continued to set up down low,
forcing Abington Heights coach Vince Buccia-
relli to acknowledge it would be dangerous to
keep Hoyt there defensively.
We felt like (Tiffany) would be a little stron-
ger down there and she didnt have the three
fouls, Bucciarelli said.
ODonnell held Gerchman, Dunmores all-
tournament representative, without a field goal
for the final 13 minutes. She matched Katherine
Rosencrance for the Abington Heights scoring
lead with eight points and was named as the

TAYLOR - West Scranton
jumped out to a 17-4 lead at
the end of the first quarter and
never trailed in the contest,
defeating Lackawanna Trail,
43-25, in the consolation game
of the girls Taylor Lions
Tournament at Patrick C. Rev-
ello Gymnasium on Wednes-
day, Dec. 28.
We came out and were real
effective defensively, West
Scranton head coach Leo Ci-
ullo said. We were seeing the
ball well and we got a couple
turnovers. We went on a little
run and got the lead going into
halftime.
The Lady Invaders were led
by center Katie Hart. The
sophomore scored 17 points,
grabbed nine rebounds and
blocked five shots.
Shes doing a good job
getting open, Ciullo said.
Shes showing the girls where
the ball needs to be and our
guards are doing a good job
getting her the basketball.
Marissa Pazzaglia, also a
sophomore, added 10 points,
seven rebounds and six steals.
She brings a lot of energy
to our team and is becoming
more effective offensively as
the season goes on, Ciullo
said.
Both Hart and Pazzaglia
were selected to the all-tourna-
ment team for West Scranton.
Natasha Pacholec, an all-
tournament selection, led the
Lady Lions with five points
and five rebounds. Shannon
Jones added four points and
eight rebounds for Trail.
West Scranton (4-4) started
the second quarter on a 7-2
run, but Lackawanna Trail
scored the final four points.
The Lady Lions then opened
the second half on a 4-0 run to
cut the lead to 24-14 with 6:32
left in the third quarter, but the
Lady Invaders scored the next
five points to regain a com-
fortable advantage.
West Scranton forced Lack-
awanna Trail into 27 turn-
overs, including 11 in the first
quarter.
It was good defensive pres-
sure, but I dont think we were
mentally ready in the first
quarter, Lackawanna Trail
head coach Errol Mannick
said. We had a few mistakes
in the beginning and got into a
hole. That was the difference
in the game.

CLARKS SUMMIT -
Freshman swimmer Rachel
Smertz, 14, has been a key
part of the Lady Comets suc-
cess this season.
Abington Heights head
coach Mary Gromelski thinks
Smertz strong work ethic has
led to her early accomplish-
ments.
She finished first in the 200
individual medley in the Lady
Comets 100-84 win over Dal-
las on Dec. 13.
In the Lady Comets 101-83
loss to Hazleton Area on Dec.
15, she finished second in the
100 backstroke.
Smertz had three wins in
the Lady Comets 113-72 win
over Wyoming Valley West
(500 free, 200 individual me-
dley, and 200 medley relay)
on Dec. 22.
Shes dedicated and a hard
worker, Gromelski said. The
whole team is pretty much
working really hard and push-
ing each other. She has a
great attitude. She wants it
and loves it. She likes doing
it and I think it shows in her
performance. Shes really do-
ing a great job as a fresh-
man.
Despite being young, Gro-
melski thinks Smertz can be a
big factor in the postseason.
experience is helping me, she
said.
She credits the coaching
staff for improving her tech-
nique and for encouragement
after meets.
They help me when Im
down after having a bad race
and they help me perfect my
strokes, she said of the
coaches.
The Clarks Summit resident
hopes to keep improving
throughout the season and
peak toward the end.
I just want to improve,
drop times and get my best
times at districts, Smertz
said.
Smertz is also a member of
the tennis and track and field
teams at Abington Heights.
Last March, as a member of
the Abington Gators 14 and
Under swim team, Smertz,
along with Morgan Muller,
Sydney Gualtieri and Krista
Brickel, broke the record time
in the 200-free relay previous-
ly set in 1999.
Smertz is the daughter of
Michele and Alan Smertz and
resides in Clarks Summit.
The Lady Comets will be in
action on Jan. 10 at 4:30 p.m.
when they travel to Elk Lake
High School.
I think she will do really
well in districts, definitely in
the top three, Gromelski said.
According to Gromelski,
Smertz is a valuable asset to
the team because of her versa-
tility.
Right now, were just play-
ing around and learning about
her, Gromelski said. Shes
really a utility for us. Wherev-
er we have put her, shes real-
ly met the challenge. She
started off very strong in the
backstroke, that was her stron-
gest event as an age-group
swimmer, but were also find-
ing out other things she can
do.
Smertz started swimming
competitively at a young age
and fell in love with the
sport.
I started when I was 5
years old in the age-group
swim league, she said.
She enjoys going up against
the other athletes and the
bond she has developed with
her teammates.
I like the competitiveness
(of the sport) and my team,
Smertz said.
Although shes only a fresh-
man, Smertz has adjusted well
to the varsity level.
I think my endurance and

LT wrestler wins Kiwanis Tournament
WILKES-BARRE
Meyers did what it needed
to do defensively on Thurs-
day Dec. 29 by holding un-
defeated Abington Heights
to its lowest point total of
the season.
But the Comets proved
they could play defense as
well, as they defeated host
Meyers, 38-30, in the cham-
pionship of the Meyers
Christmas Tournament.
Defensively, you hold a
team like Abington in the
30s, you should have a pret-
ty good chance of winning
the game, Meyers coach
Pat Toole said.
Meyers (6-2) did have a
solid chance of winning the
game until Abingtons stand-
out sophomore J.C. Show
found his touch in the sec-
ond half. Show was just
2-of-8 from the field in the
first half, but hit 5-of-7 at-
tempts from the field in the
final two quarters. He fin-
ished with 21 points and was
named the tournament MVP.
Hes our leader, Abing-
ton coach Ken Bianchi said
of Show. Hes only a soph-
omore, but hes like a soph-
omore in college in basket-
ball knowledge with his
father (Baptist Bibles Mike
Show) being a college
coach.
Show was joined on the
all-tournament team by
teammates Pat Calvey and
John Vassil, Meyers Rash-
eed Moore, Coughlins Ian
Jeremiah and Nanticokes
Joe Yudichak. Meyers prob-
lems were twofold against
Abington (9-0).
First, the Comets used a
match-up zone defense,
something the Mohawks
rarely see in the Wyoming
Valley Conference. The re-
sult was clogging up oppor-
tunities inside for the Mo-
hawks, especially Moore.
We went to our bread and
butter, the match-up, Bi-
anchi said. We kept work-
ing on it, working on it and
tonight it was the best its
been this year.
The defense gave Meyers
some chances beyond the
arc, but it finished unoffi-
cially 1-of-19 from three-
point range.
The Meyers offense found
no continuity all night as
Krawczeniuk was the only
player with more than one
field goal in a quarter. He
had two in the second peri-
od, but was shut down the
rest of the way.
That match-up zone, we
really dont see that much in
our league, Toole said. We
didnt execute and settled
for too many long-range
threes.
The Mohawks were also
shorthanded with standout
Eugene Lewis in Texas for
an all-star football game and
key reserve Tyriek Steward
still sidelined with an ankle
injury.
Moore, who finished with
a team-high nine points,
scored on a drive to start the
fourth quarter, tying the
game 26-26. Abington,
though, took control from
there by reeling off eight
consecutive points.

The win gives the Lady
Invaders confidence heading
into league play after a dis-
appointing loss to Nanticoke
in the tournament opener.
Bouncing back in this
game sends us into league
play on a high note, Ciullo
said.
Mannick was pleased with
his teams intensity and is
hopeful that their energy will
lead to some wins during
league play.
Were very inexperienced,
he said. Were just struggling
to make the easy stuff at this
point, but we played really,
really hard. We had great
effort. Hopefully that will
translate into league success.

Natasha Pacholec led Lackawan-
na Trail in scoring in the consola-
tion game of the girls Taylor Lions
Tournament.
TAYLOR - Lackawanna
Trail turned up the defensive
pressure to pick up its first
win of the season. The Lions
held MMI Prep scoreless for
the first four minutes of the
game in their 66-36 victory
over the Preppers in the con-
solation game of the boys
Taylor Lions Tournament at
Patrick C. Revello Gymnasi-
um on Thursday, Dec. 29.
Weve been struggling of
late and we knew that this was
a winnable game for us,
Lackawanna Trail head coach
Andrew Kettel said. We
wanted to dictate it right from
the start. We pressured the
ball and got a nice lead. We
were able to get our core guys
out early and get some of the
younger guys in. Were happy
with the win, but we have a
lot of work to do.
Lions 7-1 center Stephen
Miller, an all-tournament
selection, scored 11 of his
game-high 21 points in the
first quarter. The senior added
14 rebounds and three blocks.
We were on a tough losing
streak; we just wanted to
come out and get after it,
Miller said. We had good
communication. My team-
mates did a great job getting
me the ball. Were going to try
to use the win as momentum.
We got off to a rough start last
year and ended up winning
nine of our next 10 games, so
maybe that will happen
again.
Lyle Sweppenheiser scored
10 of his 12 points in the first
half as Trail took a 40-18 half-
time lead. The senior guard
also had four rebounds and
four assists.
Lyle shot the ball well,
Kettel said. Everyone tries to
take Stephen (Miller) away so
we have to have other guys
step up. They all did a good
job.
Freshman Ross Fauquier
added nine points and five
rebounds off the bench for the
Lions.
Trail forward Matt Lochen
picked up three first-half
fouls, but came back strong,
scoring eight of his 12 points
in the third quarter. The senior
also contributed six rebounds
and two steals.
Coach just told me to play
smart and keep my head in the
game, Lochen said. I was
really trying to do too much.
Freshman Cory Rogers led
MMI Prep (1-6) with 11 points
and four rebounds. R.J. Kup-
sho added eight points for the
Preppers.
Although this is the Lions
first win, Kettel hopes that
playing a difficult early sched-
ule will have his team pre-
pared for league competition.
We scheduled tough teams
like Tunkhannock, Holy Cross
and Riverside on purpose to
get ready for our league, he
said. We hope that it helps
us. We had some small victo-
ries within those seven losses.
Tonight we got the win and
hopefully we got better from
it.
Lackawanna Trail (1-7, 0-1
Div. III) will travel to Moun-
tain View High School today

Fromstory times to craft
times to game and trivia
nights, the Abington Commu-
nity Library at 1200 W. Grove
St. in Clarks Summit, is much
more than a place fromwhich
to borrowbooks - especially
for children.
Lori Kareha, of Clarks
Green, said she and her chil-
dren enjoy visits to the library
together every other week.
Her oldest son, Brady, 7, par-
ticipates regularly in various
after-school activities there,
such as Story Hour.
When asked what he enjoys
most about visiting the library,
Brady said, Getting books.
Then he added, And story
time.
Kareha said the programs at
the library have aided her son
a lot in learning to read, and
she believes he is one of the
best readers in his class be-
cause of it.
Brady also participates in a
Make-it, Take-it Craft
Time. Some of the things
Kareha said Brady remembers
fromthe craft times are mak-
ing an apple sun-catcher and
planting a corn seed and
watching it grow.
Mrs. McGrath always has
great craft ideas, she said
Mary Ann McGrath is Head
of Childrens Services at the
library, and can usually be
found with a smile on her face
sitting behind the desk in the
childrens room, assisting a
youngster in locating a book
or performing tasks in the
main section of the library.
I enjoy the atmosphere of
it, McGrath said of the Chil-
drens Room. I enjoy work-
ing with the children.
McGrath said one thing she
thinks the youngsters like
about the childrens room,
which was built as an addition
to the main library in 2002, is
the roomitself. With bright
colors, toys, picture books,
child-size tables and chairs,
computers with child-safe
internet access and a wide
selection of childrens videos
and DVDs, its like a childs
paradise.
McGrath recently observed
one child arrive exclaiming,
Mommy, mommy! Imgoing
to the playroom!
This enthusiasmfor visiting
the library is common among
its young patrons, and
McGrath said the childrens
staff has a variety of fun activ-
ities and programs planned for
themthrough mid-February.
One is a winter reading club
which will be held fromJanu-
ary 9 through February17.
She said the theme of the
reading club will be Warm
up with a good book and the
idea behind it is to give chil-
dren something to do while
the weather is too cold to play
outdoors.
We want to encourage
visits to the library, she said.
And its a nice place to come
when its cold outside.
Instead of including a set
list of books to read, McGrath
said the Winter Reading Club
will provide incentives for
participants to read books of
their own choosing. She wants
the programto feel more per-
sonal to each individual.
