DICKSONCITY- Guests packed the Uno Chicago Grill in Dickson City the evening of Sept. 8 for a fundraising event to benefit Marley’s Mission, a local organization that provides free equine-based therapy to children and families who have experienced trauma. As sup- porters mingled outside on the patio and sidewalk, they heard a siren approaching fromthe distance and gave an enthusi- astic applause as Dickson City Police escorted a Road Scholar Transport truck decorated with a scene fromMarley’s Mission into a reserved spot, the only empty spaces left in the lot. The show, however, was not over yet. Out of the back of the trailer poured a fewdozen Marley’s Mission volunteers dancing to the song, “I Got a Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas. What is coming to be known as Marley’s Mission’s classic “flash mob” is just one of the ABINGTON JOURNAL/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER Marley’s Mission volunteers and supporters stand in front of a Road Scholar Transport truck decorated for the non-profit during a fundraiser Sept. 8 at Uno Chicago Grill in Dickson City.

Owned by Tony and Mi- riam Warenzak and Katrina Ceczoli, Newsies Pizza has made a name for itself in just a little under two years, and Tony said he feels the event in September is the perfect way to keep word of the res- taurant spreading. “I think it’s a good way to give people that haven’t tried us yet a chance to taste what we have to offer, and what’s different from other pizza shops in the area,” said Tony. He added that one differ- ence is the care that goes into their ingredients. The sauce is made fresh daily, and the staff members crush their own tomatoes to make it. The dough is crafted in small batches for quality control and consistency and the cheeses are all carefully selected. “We’re confident that peo- ple who haven’t tried us are ABINGTON JOURNAL/DON MCGLYNN For the Taste of the Abingtons, Newsies Pizza will serve one of its more popular menu items, the fresh mozzarella and veggie pizza.

See Support, Page 5 President of the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board Bill Risse was ada- mant when he said, “What we do as a whole and as a team has made the many things we do successful. It takes a real good ensemble to make this work.” The “many things” Risse addressed were programs the board has put to- gether but are primarily run by a core of volunteers. They include the Com- munity Guard, the Dog Park and Earth Camp. “We’ve tried not to become programmers because it is so demand- ing. At some point it will have to be managed by an employee. We’ve spend a great deal of time developing a mas- ter plan, which takes in the input of the community. Though we have volun- teers, they can come to us for help. All projects are joint-rec projects.” Established in 1972, the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board is made up of 24 municipality representatives, who have made it their goal to provide quality outdoor recreational opportuni- ties for the community. The board man- ages the Abington Area Community Park and was created when the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania deeded surplus land to the boroughs of Clarks Green and Clarks Summit and the townships of Abington, Glenburn, South Abington and Waverly. According to Risse, what the board is focused on is the development of the physical aspect. It includes the Bound- less Playground, developing parking, sidewalks, bathrooms and a pavilion lakeside to be used by families for re- unions and graduation parties. As a result of the higher profile of the lake, he said, the Forever Young Fishing Derby has become an annual event. “Each brought more and more partici- pation from the community,” Risse said.

Beth Florey, a Clarks Sum- mit resident and one of the first employees of the Cancer Institute, reflected back on her time working for the orga- nization. “I enjoyed the opportunity to work with so many different community organizations, cancer survivors and people from throughout the health care fields,” she said. Florey began working for the Cancer Institute in its first year in 1991 until 1995. “It’s a very unique orga- nization in that we collaborate with hospitals, the community, health organizations and a variety of health care profes- sionals. Also, all the services that we provide are given to people right here in Northeast- ern Pennsylvania.” Florey is also a member of the 20th anniversary planning committee, along with co- chairs Susan Belin, Dr. Har- mar Brereton, Sue Kluger and Thomas Pugh. They have chosen the celebration theme to be “Easing the Burden of Cancer….Together.” “The plans are coming to- gether nicely,” Florey added. “It’s a nice blend of people who have a long history of working together.” A short program highlight- ing past accomplishments and discussing the future vision of the Cancer Institute will be the focus of the event. The cost to attend is $100. A light buffet will be served. For more information or to register to attend, call 1.800.424.6724 or visit www.cancernepa.org. The Cancer Institute was organized in 1991 by North- eastern Pennsylvania hospitals and oncology practices that recognized the value of collab- oration and coordination for community cancer control efforts. Today the Cancer Institute partners with Community Medical Center Healthcare System; Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Henry Cancer Center ; Moses Taylor Hospital; Mid Valley Hospital; Regional Hospital of Scranton; Special Care Hospital; Tyler Memorial Hospital; Wayne Memorial Health System; Wyoming Valley Health Care System; oncology related and specialty practices; area busi- nesses; public and private service agencies; foundations; community leaders and gov- ernmental entities at all levels. Their primary service area includes Lackawanna, Lu- zerne, Monroe, Pike, Susque- hanna, Wayne and Wyoming Counties. Additional services are of- fered in Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton Counties. The Cancer Institute partner hospital and physician network provides the largest cancer diagnosis and treatment ser- vice in Pennsylvania in terms of the number of patients served. More than 3,000 new cancer patients are recorded each year through the Cancer Institute Regional Cancer Registry. The Cancer Epidemiology Research Program studies the incidence, distribution, and control of cancer in Northeast- ern Pennsylvania. Study results are being used for research strategies and education pro- grams designed to prevent or reduce death and disability from cancer in this community. The Regional Cancer Regis- try is the first collaborative regional cancer registry in Pennsylvania. This state-of- the-art system provides sophis- ticated recording and reporting of cancer diagnosis, treatment outcomes and clinical research statistics. From a public health standpoint, this service offers a valuable tool for comprehen- sive community and hospital planning regarding oncology services, and for long-term projections for the allocation of scarce health care resources. The Community and Patient Services Program offers a wide range of community programs and patient services to raise awareness about can- cer prevention/risk reduction, early detection and treatment of cancer. Cancer Institute celebrates 20 years BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE
[email protected] RANSOMTWP. - The Ran- som Township Board of Su- pervisors was forced to table the subdivision of the late Dorothy Richards’ 160-acre estate on Bald Mountain Road during its monthly meeting Sept. 6. The estate was left to Ri- chards’ children after she died three years ago, and is to be divided so that each bene- ficiary receives a fair and equal share. Ernest D. Preate Jr., Esq., who represents the Richards’ estate, presented the plans to the board and request- ed they approve the subdivi- sion. The plans have already been approved by the Ransom Township Planning Commis- sion to be reviewed by the Lackawanna County Planning Commission. Supervisors explained that the normal pro- cedure for a matter like this is for the county’s planning com- mission to review plans and send township comments be- fore the supervisors would approve them. At the time of the meeting, the county had not yet re- viewed the plans. Even if the county does not approve the plans, supervisors can still approve, but supervisors were hesitant to deter from proce- dure. “The county planning commission is advisory only. The final decision rests with the board,” said Township Solicitor William T. Jones, Esq. Preate said he understood the supervisors’ concern, but noted time is an issue. “We’re in a bit of a bind because…you have a year to get the estate straightened out, we’re in our third year now. So, interest and penalties are building up, and taxes, and so we really need to get this approved as quickly as we possibly can,” said Preate. Preate took over the duties of representing the estate from Richard Cohen of New Jersey, who died in April of this year. The Lackawanna County Plan- ning Commission met Sept. 8, and the supervisors agreed to discuss the possibility of hold- ing a special meeting after receiving comments. At the time of this paper’s publica- tion, Sept.13, no meeting date had been set. The supervisors will meet again Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. Ransom reviews subdivision of estate BY DON MCGLYNN

E mily Burke and Willa Farrell, both 9, of Clarks Summit, were baking brownies Sept. 10 and watching television reports of the flooding in West Pittston when they had an idea. Colleen Jumper, their former teacher at Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Green, lives in West Pittston. “We decided to raise money and give it to her (Jumper) so that she could give it to her neighbors,” Farrell said. At first they wanted to have a lemonade stand, the girls said, but they didn’t have any lemon- ade. So, they decided to have a treat sale. They made two batch- es of brownies and a batch of rice crispy treats, but still needed more. So, they called Emily’s sister Julia Burke, 11, and her friend Sarah Murray, 11, who were down the street baking cupcakes. They agreed to help and added two batches of cup- cakes to the sale, which took place on Saddle Loop Road, Clarks Summit. To drawpeople to their treat sale, the girls said they passed some fliers around the neighborhood and made a poster, which they hung in the yard. When the money was counted after the sale, the four girls were happy to find they had raised $150 to help the flood victims. “Our neighbors were really generous,” Julia said. The girls said that when they presented their former teacher with the money at school on Monday, she was “really happy and was crying.” Jumper said she was im- pressed with howthe girls were able to put their feelings into action. “It was incredibly com- passionate and caring of them,” she said. “I amjust truly touched by their compassion at such a young age.” A helping hand SUBMITTED PHOTO Emily Burke, left, and Willa Farrell, help raise $150 for flood victims at an impromptu bake sale in their neighborhood.

Fidelity Bank donates $11,000 CLARKS SUMMIT - The Abington Heights School Dis- trict Board held an informal discussion of district goals for the upcoming school year at a work session Sept. 7. Topics on the list of goals discussed in- clude the 2011-2012 budget and staffing outlooks, “Status Quo” implications, mandatory reporting and obligations to students, continuation of the Substance Abuse Goal, aca- demic goals for various sub- jects, and “meaningful oppor- tunities” connected to student interests. One major goal topic dis- cussed at the beginning of the session, and again at the end, was the budget. A handout passed around to board mem- bers by Superintendent Mi- chael Mahon stated that, as the 2011-2012 budget year nears its end in May 2012, “While final numbers will not be available until September, it appears $1.5 million of fund balance will be depleted when the books are finally closed. It also appears that with the addition of no new programs and continued cost-cutting efforts, the struc- tural deficit for 2012-2013 is conservatively estimated at $2.5 million.” Mahon left with the board the reflection question, “What will the 2012-2013 budget that the Board must approve by June 30 look like, with consid- eration of staff reductions, tax increases and fund balance utilization?” He reminded the board that the numbers on the handout aren’t final, just estimates, and that they need to “work through this with the idea of getting a plan together, because if we were considering this issue in May, if this were May right now, we’d have problem- s…So I think this really is a driving and critically important question right now that we have to work on that we will be asked in some form or another. It could be worse than this, better than this, it’s hard to know.” Another major topic dis- cussed was the academic goals. Mahon said, “These are famil- iar to all the board members because they are continuations of ongoing initiatives that are at various stages of comple- tion.” The academic goals included Integrated lessons and the 100 Book Challenge, the imple- mentation of Everyday Math and Big Ideas math, as well as the need to develop new math curriculum for eighth grade and high school, reading, En- glish as a second language, and special education. The board also discussed the need for more instruction in writing and grammar. In regard to meaningful opportunities connected to student interests, Mahon said, “We have to talk to our stu- dents, and talk to our parents about what is a meaningful opportunity and what are in- terests.” He used a hypothetical ex- ample where a student in the middle school is taking a tech- nology class and decides to get into Lego Robotics. Then when the student moves up to the high school, he or she takes the required math and science and also gets involved in Pro- ject Lead The Way, a four -course sequence for pre-engi- neering, and as a side activity, gets involved in the robotics program. Then, when the stu- dent graduates, if he or she still carries that interest and wishes to continue, it is likely that instead of worrying about tuition, he or she picks a school and receives a scholarship. “We want to be able to dupli- cate that as we look at our other programs,” said Mahon. A topic of special interest to the public in attendance was the application of technology in the classroom and the need for some policy guidance in regard to social media websites and networks such as Face- book, Twitter, YouTube and Google. Mahon said that while the school discourages any interactions between teachers and students on such websites, there is currently no official policy in place. While the dis- trict has no current issues with this topic, board members and the public agreed it is some- thing that needs to be ad- dressed. The Board will gather Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. for a business meeting. AHSD discusses budget concerns Technology in the classroom, need for policy guidance in regard to social media websites were mentioned. BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
[email protected] CLARKSGREEN- What do you need to have a school? Alibrary and a bathroom, according to a first-grader’s response to that question after it was asked by Monsig- nor John Louis years ago. The Monsignor shared this story with those in attendance at the ribbon cutting of the remodeled library at Our Lady of Peace School Sept. 7 in Clarks Green. “The library is, of course, where the word resides, and we say that the word is ultimately the word of God, and that is what we’re about. And, that’s what we’re trying to do is implant that word, that spirit in the hearts of those who come here to school, so a library is a very important part of a school,” said Msgr. Louis. “If we are attentive to it, and are able to have children read, they will eventually hear God’s word in what they read and what they hear, so the library is an ex- tremely important part so it’s nice to see it receive this attention, and this building receive this attention.” Msgr. Louis was the former pastor at St. Gregory’s Church, as well as official pastor for the school and eighth grade religious instructor. He retired over the summer and the library has been dedicated in his name to honor his years of service. “Msgr. John Louis has been an integral part of the Our Lady of Peace School for numerous years. His dedication to the religious education of our students, as well as his service to the school and our com- munity made Msgr. Louis a natural recip- ient of this honor. He is a true role model for the children and his service to the de- velopment of the Catholic faith for our children warranted special recognition. We felt that this was a fitting way to thank him for all that he has done for Our Lady of Peace School,” wrote Jeanne Giallorenzi, Our Lady of Peace PTGPresident. Work on the library began in April of 2010 as part of the school’s Library En- hancement Project, and much of the work was complete by September of 2010, ac- cording to Barb Braatz and Kelley Colle- ran who supervised the project. “We just thought that by fixing up the library it would be a better environment for students, and so far they’ve really enjoyed it,” said Braatz. The two credited the project being com- pleted so quickly to the parents and stu- dents at the school, who donated funds and their time. “Alot of other people helped, like Jeanne Giallorenzi helped with the fun- draising, and a couple of the other girls helped with the physical work,” said Colle- ran. “There were a lot of students who came to help out, too,” said Braatz. “Especially eighth-graders that moved on to high school, the boys…they moved huge book- cases for us.” “They boxed all of the books, moved theminto another room, moved the book- cases, brought the newbookcases in and then put the books out,” added Colleran. The students’ help didn’t stop at the interior of the building; the eighth-grade students also took on a service project in early September to clean the library gar- den, plant and mulch. The school hopes to make this an annual service project to give the students a way of leaving their legacy at the school. In addition to the students, a number of parents and community members lent a hand, including Dan Bantell fromDB Lawn Solutions, who donated all of his services in removing the old roots of shrubs and preparing the land for plant. Dr. and Mrs. Albert Giallorenzi donated the shrubs and plants.

[email protected] On Sept. 9, the last day of school before the10th anniversary of the September 11, 2011terrorist attacks, Abington Heights Middle School students remembered the victims of the attacks and reflect- ed on the significance of that date. One of the teachers, Mr. Dorohovech, prepared a banner, which stretched across the multi-purpose gymin the school, made up of newspaper pages relating to the attacks, and the PTAdonated a Flag of Honor made with the names of the victims. Students, teachers and staff filed through the roomthroughout the day, while patriotic music played in the background. While for the most part, the children were too young at the time of the attacks to remember anything fromthat day, these displays gave themthe opportunity to get a sense of the enormity of what happened10 years ago. Students reflect on 9/11 attacks ABINGTON JOURNAL/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER Abington Heights Middle School students Nick Kerekes and Thomas Stone study a list of the names of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Abington Heights Middle School 7th grade student Jason Husisian stands in front of the Flag of Honor, which was made with the names of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack victims. Area residents will have the opportunity to experience college through an innovative program offered by the Sche- mel Forum at The University of Scranton. University for a Day, sched- uled for Sept. 17, focuses this year on “America and the World.” Offered every fall, University for a Day features insights from Scranton faculty members and other experts into a variety of topics – with time for discussion. Morning coffee, lunch and a closing reception round out the event, which will take place from 8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. in the Pearn Auditorium on the sec- ond floor of Brennan Hall on campus. “University for a Day is our signature event, offering a rich array of food for thought,” said Sondra Myers, director of the Schemel Forum at The University of Scranton. “Since the program falls on Constitu- tion Day, we will open with one of our nation’s preeminent constitutional scholars, Akhil Amar, J.D., Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University,” said Myers. Amar’s lecture , titled “America’s Unwritten Consti- tution,” proposes that the U.S. Constitution only begins to map out the fundamental rules that govern modern Amer- icans. Following a discussion with Amar, Joseph Kraus, Ph.D., associate professor of English and theatre at The University of Scranton, will present “Framing Roth.” His lecture traces the career of the prolific author Philip Roth from his early days as the “bad boy” of American Jew- ish literature to his stature today as one of America’s most distinguished authors. After lunch, University for a Day continues with “Glob- alization: Its Challenges and Opportunities for an Interde- pendent World,” presented by David Grewal, Ph.D., J.D., associate professor at Yale Law School and author of “Network Power: The Social Dynamics of Globalization.” Kathryn S. Meier, Ph.D., as- sistant professor of history at The University of Scranton, will deliver our final lecture, “Environmental Justice for the 21st Century.” Dr. Meier looks to the period when slavery was largely eradicated in our society to understand how sustainability and human jus- tice have gone hand in hand in America and in the world. The participation fee is $25 for non-Schemel Forum mem- bers. To register, contact Kym Fetsko, Schemel Forum events coordinator, at 570.941.7816 or

We never stop moving. ® CLARKS SUMMIT, PA (August 25, 2011) – National Costume Swap Day returns approximately six weeks from today and Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties will once again host the event here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Are you tired of paying for costumes that your child will wear only once? This Green Halloween® costume swap, which will take place on October 8, 2011, between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M., offers a solution that will beneft the environment and your wallet. Last year, because of the support from the community and our associates, Halloween was a little greener,” thankfully expresses Greg Solfanelli, REALTOR® and chairperson for the event, for the Greater Scranton Region. “Our costume swap was a ‘joyful success.’ We collected over 230 costumes during our frst swap and gave out over eighty in Green Halloween’s® kick-off year. Those who participated in National Costume Swap Day across the country saved cash, not to mention, reducing the waste going into our landflls. We also donated 150 of those remaining to Goodwill, so other children received an opportunity to enjoy them as well.” Like last year, the purpose of this children’s costume swap (up to the age of sixteen) is to make Halloween healthier for kids and more sustainable for our planet. This event is community-based and is meant to celebrate the true spirit of the Halloween season. Coldwell Banker is allowing costumes to be dropped off through October 7, the day before the swap, at any one of the companies three locations: (Clarks Summit offce) 651 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, PA 18411 (North Pocono offce) 1250 Church Street, Moscow, PA 18444 (Valley offce) 130 Main Street, Blakely, PA18447. Children’s costumes, which are clean and in good condition, can be brought to any of these three locations. Those donating costumes will receive a token to be redeemed for another costume on the day of the event. The leftover Halloween costumes will be donated to local charities. “This community swap is a Green Halloween® initiative meant to bring healthier and greener alternatives to typical Halloween celebrations,” states Mr. Solfanelli. “It’s also meant to open the eyes of our region to the benefts of recycling their gently- used costumes here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

We do most of our own parking at the Red Barn Village area. The lots fill up fast and it’s a fun experience getting all of the cars in and out safely. On all three nights of the bazaar, the scouts park cars from5 to 8 p.m. Afterward we usually go up and enjoy the festivities at the bazaar. Although there weren’t any campouts this month, we did have a meeting to come up with proposed campouts for the year. Campouts must be planned well in advance so we can plan the trip and get the date we want and reserve out spot. Cer- tain trips take several months or even a year to reserve a spot. In past years we’ve gone to the beach, Washington D.C., and even a backpacking trip on the three tallest mountains in Eu- rope. The proposed trips for the 2011/2012 scouting year are as follows. Some of these trips are official but others are still being planned. September is going to be a trip to Gettysburg. For October, two ideas were pro- posed, either a shooting trip at Goose Pond or an orienteering trip at Camp Acahela. Novem- ber will be a five- mile back- packing trip fromGouldsboro State Park to Tobyhanna State Park. December Troop160 doesn’t have any campouts. January will be the polar bear campout. February is the Klon- dike. March is the Father and Son. For April/May a trip to either Cooperstown or Philadel- phia was proposed. In June scouts wanted to do a snorkel- ing trip in Rhode Island. July will be Summer Camp. To end the scouting year, will be the canoe trip in August. August is also the month we look back at our summer vaca- tion and remember all of the fun times we’ve had. Remem- ber a scout is cheerful. Scouting Scene With Tyler VanGorder Volunteerism at the bazaar Tyler VanGorder has the rank of Life in Boy Scout Troop 160 from Clarks Summit.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Cub Scout Pack 160 is more than 60 years old, but still possesses the same enthu- siastic energy as the first through fifth grade boys who make up its member- ship. Cub Master Steve Rich, who has been with the pack for 17 years, said it is a “very active pack year-round,” providing for the children weekly den meetings, monthly pack meetings, outings to mu- seums and fire and police stations, service projects, summer camps, yearly out-of-state trips and more. Rich said he first decid- ed to get involved with the pack when his son Jo- nathan turned eight and joined the Cub Scouts. Rich ended up being his den leader that first year. “I had a lot of fun with it,” Rich said. “The kids kept me going.” Cub Scout Pack 160 is affiliated with Boy Scout Troop 160 and Rich said that when the boys finish in Cub Scouts, many move on to be Boy Scouts. He said that Jonathan, who is now 25, became an Eagle Scout in 2005. Rich stressed that the key to the success of the Cub Scouts is the involve- ment of the parents. “We have a very dedicated group of parents,” he said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be the success we are.” The pack held a family day at the Abington Area Community Park Aug. 20 as a launch for the year, and Rich said that al- though it was planned at the last minute, they had a turnout of about 65 peo- ple. This year’s registration for Cub Scout Pack 160 is coming up Sept. 19, and will be held at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church, 1310 Morgan Hwy. from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Cub Scouts can also regis- ter at the first pack meet- ing, also held at the CSUMC Sept. 21 from 6 to 7 p.m. SUBMITTED PHOTO Cub Scouts from Clarks Summit’s Pack 160 participate in a Family Day Aug. 20 at the Abington Area Community Park.

This was done by Reese as his Eagle Scout project. More than 20 volunteers, Scouts and parents turned out to assemble these new picnic tables. Shown, above, are members of Factoryville Boy Scout Troop 175 work together to assemble picnic tables. Shown, from left, are Scout Jamie Reese with Troop Leaders Glen Holmes, Ed Marionni and Bob Clarke. While the tables were being assembled by Reese and his volun- teers, The Factoryville Men’s Civic Club also provided volunteers to continue with the construction of a picnic pavilion. Jeff Higgins of Hig- gins Construction provided equipment for the project. All labor and equipment is being donated. Building materials for the pavilion and picnic tables are being purchased with the assistance of a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program from the Penn- sylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). This picnic pavilion will be used by the public and the 217 youth soccer players that use the park. According to Liz Ratchford, Factory- ville director of community development, this project would not be possible without the financial assistance from DCNR and the volunteer labor and donated equipment use by the members of the Factoryville Men’s Civic Club.

They have been using church base- ments, but the churches are getting busier and the program is getting bigger and outgrow- ing the churches. They stated that the Gather- ing Place would generate in- come for the borough, create newemployment and social- ization opportunities and con- tribute to the revitalization of the Clarks Summit business district, among other advantag- es. They are hoping to have a coffee bar that would employ people with special needs that would be operated by the Deutsch Institute, employing individuals with special needs that they have trained through their services. “We’re really considering this an all-inclusive environ- ment that would really help high- functioning people with special needs,” Waters said. It would also include an art co-op for local artists. We’re hoping it be a location for com- munity events and an outlet for other community organiza- tions. “I’mreally enthused about this project and I hope it goes through,” Council Member Herman Johnson said. “I feel that this building is the com- munity’s building and we should have something down- town where the community can come together and do things. I think your organization has the right idea of bringing this to our community. I think it’s a worthwhile project and I hope all of council supports it.” Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe gave their organization the support of the borough to continue with their planning. Mayor Harry Kelly recently declared a disaster emergency at 820 W. Grove St. According to Kehoe, a serious subsidence five feet fromthe property created a hole that is eight feet wide and eight feet deep. As part of the project, the creek will be dug out, encased in pipe and brought out to Atherton Road, where it will be run through the stormsystemand back into the creek where it opens. “We need to get in there quickly before somebody gets hurt,” Kehoe said. The engineer was scheduled to take a look at the property Sept. 8, according to Kehoe. “There is a definite danger there and it can’t wait until next spring,” she said. According to Kehoe, five bids have had been sent to the borough for the 2011Paving Project. Council accepted the bid of Popple Construction, the lowest bidder, at a price of $107,253 by a vote of 7-0, contingent upon the engineers reviewand acceptance of the proposal. Council also accepted the bid of Stark Enterprises at a price of $58,385, the lowest of three bidders, for a stormwater pro- ject on West Grove St. by a vote of 7-0, contingent upon the engineers review. TimMoran, regional sales director of GEMMEnergy, proposed a way for the bor- ough to save money on energy to their unmetered street light- ing. Moran said the change would save the borough an estimated $13,000 per year in energy to streetlights. Scranton, Carbondale, Waymart, Hones- dale, Elmhurst and Wilkes- Barre already signed a contract for the service. According to Kehoe, the issue will be placed on next month’s agenda. The borough received one comment regarding the Act 537 Plan during the 30-day comment period. The sewer authority amended the resolu- tion to reflect the comments fromthe communities. Council voted to approve Resolution 2011-14 of the Act 537 Plan by a vote of 7-0. Council also agreed to re- strict parking in front of Dr. Samir Pancholy’s office build- ing at 401N. State St. Council passed ordinance 2011-04, which bans parking on the south side of North State St., starting 20 feet west of the East Greenwood Avenue center line and extending 200 feet west. According to Kehoe, Pancholy has agreed that the cost of implementing this ban would be afforded by him. Councilman Patrick Wil- liams presenting council presi- dent Gerrie Carey with a plaque fromthe Friends of the Forgotten to the borough as a certificate of appreciation for their support of veterans and their 2011“You Are Not For- gotten” ride. Carey commended Fire Chief Jake Hoinowski for the volunteer service the firefight- ers provide to the borough. “You guys do a super job,” she said. “The property is al- ways so well maintained. It is such a good organization. It makes the whole borough proud.” In regard to junior council, Johnson suggested that it might be a good idea to publicize the fact that a student fromany school may join as long as he or she is a Clarks Summit resi- dent. He said this may help recruit more members. Council agreed to invite Bob Bass fromthe Clarks Summit Fire Department to the bor- ough’s work session Sept. 27 to discuss the idea of implement- ing a public safety program.

[email protected] “We’re really consid- ering this an all-inclu- sive environment that would really help high- functioning people with special needs.” Abington Community Classroom organizer Dori Waters About transforming former Clarks Summit Fire House into a Gathering Place where residents of the Abingtons and surrounding areas can come together for recreational, educational and artistic programs. Dipti S. Pancholy, MD, a Clarks Summit resident, was recently nominated to receive recognition for Mentorship as part of the AMA Women Physicians Congress Physician Mentor Recognition Program. She was nominated as a physi- cian mentor who has made a dif- ference in the profession- al life of another physi- cian. This program is designed to recognize physicians who have con- tributed to the achieve- ments of women in the medical profession. She will be recognized through a special com- memorative book to be distributed during the AMA-WPC Caucus at the 2011 Interim Meeting of the AMA House of Dele- gates Nov. 12, at the Hil- ton Riverwalk Hotel in New Orleans, La. In addition, she will be recognized on the AMA- WPC website and other AMA communication vehicles. She will be pre- sented with a special cer- tificate, along with a copy of the submission form highlighting how you inspired another physi- cian. Pancholy said that when mentoring others, she has offered advice on selec- ting career direction or specialty. “I generally tell them to pick something that they would be willing to get up in the middle of the night for or be willing to leave in the middle of a fun concert with their family for because of the amount of time and ener- gy one spends at work.” She added, “Leadership is about being able to iden- tify and utilize the team members strengths to benefit of the tasks at hand, maintaining com- munication within the team and then if all is going well improving on any weaknesses. Prevent- ing errors is a big part of leadership in medicine. All that being said, it is about being able to take responsibility when some- thing goes wrong, too.” Resident honored for mentorship Dipti S.

The hotel, located at 206 Depot St., was owned by John Vogelbacker, now de- ceased, who moved to the Abington area from Dun- more, according to his son Bob Vogelbacker, 86. John Vogelbacker emigrat- ed to America from Germany in 1863, according to his son. John Vogelbacker purchased the hotel in approximately 1900 and ran the business until 1924. The name of the Clarks Summit hotel entails an in- teresting story. Bob Vogel- backer said his father had several siblings. Outside of John Vogelbacker, the family members spelled their last name Vogelbacher. The sign located on the hotel: “Hotel Vogelbacher.” Bob Vogelbacker said he thinks his father spelled their last name with a “k” instead of an “h” as a mistake when he emigrated. “At those times, people didn’t have to go to school…” said Bob Vogelbacker. John Vogelbacker pur- chased the hotel building from Walter Tennant, owner of The Tennant House. Bob Vogelbacker said while his father ran the hotel, his moth- er would cook. “My mother used to cook meals at day- time and my father would take it to men working on the cutoff,” he said, referring to the railroad cutoff in Clarks Summit. John and Sarah Vogelback- er had two sons, John Victor and Bob. John Victor was married to the former Jean Northup, a teacher in the Abington Heights School District for 25 years. John Victor worked for his father for a few years before he began his career with Travelers Insurance for 25 years as an insurance ad- juster. He was a member of the Abington Heights School Authority, where he served as chairman that built the South Abington Elementary School, the former Junior High School and the High School. John Victor and Jean have three children; Peggy Ham- brick Rubino, Pleasant Ridge, Mich.; Jeff Vogelbacker, De- catur, Ga. and Susan Warner, Clarks Summit. Bob Vogelbacker, today lives in Fort Meyers, Fla., with his wife of nearly 60 years, Kathryn. The couple graduated from the Clarks Summit-Clarks Green Joint High School in 1943 before both attended Syracuse Uni- versity. “We’ve known each other all our lives,” said Bob Vogel- backer. They have two chil- dren: Judy and David. Bob and Kathryn are Abington Heights graduates and lived on Stone Avenue, Clarks Summit, until they left Clarks Summit in 1980. They reside in Philadelphia. Despite the fact Bob Vogel- backer never lived in the hotel and wasn’t born while it was in operation, he knew the lineup along Depot Street that surrounded his father’s busi- ness. After turning right onto Depot Street from Winola Road, a passersby would happen upon a residence, then Ellis and Young grocery store, then Brown’s Barber, then the Snyder Feed Mill. Next was the Hill Sisters Confectionary Store, where Bob Vogelbacker said ice cream and newspapers were a few of the products sold. Next to the Confectionary Store was the Vogelbacker Hotel, then O’Connor’s Bar bordered by Sillers Bakery and the Grand Union Food Store. Kathryn Vogelbacker, for- merly Kathryn McDermott, said all the businesses in the area seemed to be owned by local companies. “They lived there, they worked there, they invested there. They built the town.” After John Vogelbacker sold the hotel in 1924, he did not retire. “When my father got out of the hotel business, he got into the lumber busi- ness,” said Bob Vogelbacker, whose father would cut lum- ber into different sizes and make props to support mines. He ran a saw mill and also built a large garage where he stored trucks and a horse. From there he would trans- port the props to Scranton. Bob Vogelbacker said his father was also involved with real estate. “He was a very industrious person.” John Vogelbacker also helped raise money for the construction of Our Lady of the Snows Church, 301 South State St., Clarks Summit. “He was an instrumental when that was built,” according to his son Bob. Hospitality in the Summit BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON Abington Journal Reporter JUSTUS - The Justus Fire Company Wine Tasting Fun- draiser will be the third wine tasting the company has host- ed, according to Joseph F. Wasko Sr., trustee of the fire company. The event, set to be held Sept. 17, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Maiolatesi Wine Cellar, has grown significantly, with attendees doubling in partici- pation, from150 guests to 300 guests between the first tasting in the fall and the second tast- ing in the spring. “We just came up with a different type of fundraiser,” said Wasko. “We wanted to use a local business, as we wanted them to benefit as well.” “The Maiolatesi Wine Cel- lar is new up here because their original building in the Carbondale area burned sever- al years ago, so this event means a lot to them as well,” he added. Wasko stressed the impor- tance of community support for this event, which will ben- efit the fire company. “First and foremost, we are a volun- teer fire company and we have limited funds from the com- munity. We’re trying to get a grant for new equipment right now, but any fundraisers with- in the community helps pur- chase new equipment for fire- fighters and ultimately bene- fits the community,” he added. “We have a very good repu- tation here in Scott Township. The community has a positive outlook on us and that’s why our wine event is a good fun- draiser,” he said. “People come out, and it’s something that people can attend and enjoy a good time. They can meet the fire compa- ny and spend time with friends, family and significant others,” added Wasko. Wasko said the atmosphere is “very relaxed,” noting that the entertainment provided by Johnny Tsunami, the food and the wine will be “enjoyed by all”. “You can’t beat the wine, the wine is good,” he added. “It’s a great time at the winery and one of their big events.” “We’re looking to purchase new equipment for the fire- fighters and the trucks and that’s where all the funds go,” he said. Additionally, Wasko said the company is always looking for volunteers. Wasko has been involved for the past 26 years, since he was a teenager. “It’s a form of community service and there is gratification you get from doing that,” he said. Wasko encouraged anyone interested to call the station at 570.587.4545, visit their web- site at www.jfc28fire.com or search “Justus Fire Company” on Facebook. The fire compa- ny is located at 159 Fieldstone Drive in Justus.

ABINGTON JOURNAL/DON MCGLYNN Tony Warenzak, one of the own- ers of Newsies, showcases a pizza. a project for which it is grant funded. Risse put the amount in the ball park of $350,000. The idea is to rebuild the middle soccer field which is nicknamed International Field. “We’re going to add lights. We’ll be the first Abington field with lights.” Risse said he sees this as hav- ing major impact on practices for youth. They’ll be able to practice longer. And he hopes it will attract adults to play sports at 9 or 10 p.m. at night. The board recently was informed that they have been approved for a long -antici- pated grant just under $1 mil- lion for highway roads and parking features. The grant will allow for an upgrade that will support the visitation to the parks. “If all goes well,” Risse said, “this will lead to a partnership with the Junior Comets youth football. We’re hoping part of what we ac- complish is to enable the Comets to build a permanent home.” As for his presidency, Risse said he was happy to be on the board, especially since he used public recreational facil- ities while growing up. “I was somebody who tried but never made high school sports teams. I was a sandlot person. I watched them build a park in Dunmore, and I think I appreciated that somebody made it available to the pub- lic. So, when I was asked to be part of the board it made sense.” Risse’s education includes graduating from Scranton Prep and then, The University of Scranton with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature, along with many professional and technical seminars. He worked in media through college and afterward. His back ground includes working for WVIA-FM and TV. He also did stints at WBRE and WNEP and worked freelance in video production. His over- all experience in communi- cations includes writing, pho- tography, editing and lighting design. In 1984, Risse worked for Lackawanna County and stayed there for 20 years. He then worked sales for Johnson Controls, a major engineering firm. For the past year, he has worked for Conxx, a commu- nications technology firm, as a project executive. Risse said he has always been involved in community activities, in- cluding art groups, youth sports. But now he limits his focus to the parks. Risse is a 25 year resident of Clarks Green and has been married to his wife, Karen, for 30. They have a daughter, Kate, 22 and son, Danny, 20.

T he Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock isn’t going to let anything stop one of the area’s most anticipated yearly events. The theater was forced to close for one week due to flood damage, but thanks to staff and volunteers working around the clock, the theater will be able reopen in time for its 2011 Fall Film Festival sched- uled from Sept. 16 through 29. As in years past, the annual event will begin with an opening night gala Sept. 16, beginning at 5:30 p.m., featuring screenings of “Beginners” and “Midnight in Paris.” The staff of the Dietrich Theater has de- cided on an Oktoberfest theme, with several microbreweries serving beer. Nimble Hill Winery will also present a special beer for the event and Epicurean Delight, Seasons Restaurant, Twigs Restau- rant & Cafe and The Fireplace Restaurant will provide food. “Things can get boring if you do it the exact same way every year, so we decided to shake things up,” said Dietrich Theater Executive Director Hildy Morgan. Another shake-up this year is the cost. In years past, admission to the opening night gala has been $50, but this year the staff has lowered it to $35. “We thought it was fair, but too much,” said Morgan of the original price. “For many people, times have not gotten easier, and we feel this is an event to be shared with our friends.” While there have been a lot of changes to the festival this year, Morgan said mainstay is the quality of films that will be screened. She is pleased with all independent and foreign films that have made it onto this year’s schedule. “We still have the same kind of terrific movies,” said Morgan. “These are the cream of the crop, movies that people can watch and then think about for days, weeks, and months. Even if you don’t like it, you’ll think about it.” Among the films selected this year is “The Cave of the Forgotten,” which will mark the first time a 3-D movie is featured ‘Buck’ ‘Beginners’ will be screened at an open- ing night gala Sept. 16, along with ‘Mid- night in Paris.’ ‘Bride Flight’ On with the show ‘Cave of Forgotten Dreams’ will mark the first time a 3-D movie is featured in the festival Dietrich Theater plans to reopen in time for Fall Film Festival By Don McGlynn

Benefit honors accident victims For those families who find it diffi- cult to attend the traditional weekday Story Hours for children at the Abing- ton Community Library, a series of Saturday morning read-aloud programs will fill the gap. The series is being coordinated by elementary education students attending Marywood Uni- versity, Scranton. They will take charge of book selection, presentation of the stories, and hands-on crafts and other interactive activities geared to children age 3 through 7 years old. The students have chosen three themes: “Fall” (Sept. 24); “Halloween” (Oct. 29); and “Thanksgiving” (Nov. 19). Pre-regis- tration is appreciated, either by phone or in person in the Children’s Room at the library. The programs will be held from 11 to 11:45 a.m. in the Children’s Story Room.

The book is filled with fun facts for learning, and colorful il- lustrations of prehistoric mammals and other ancient life forms drawn by the author. It’s not all science, though. Here’s just one of the numerous jokes and riddles from its pages: Q. Which prehistoric creature chewed its food three times? A. The trilobite! The book is in the children’s collection at the library.

C heryl Korb’s upcoming show, “Folk Art of Cheryl Korb” at the Wyoming County Courthouse art gallery in Tunkhannock is “the culmination of a year’s work,” according to Korb. Her art will be exhibited at the cour- thouse beginning with an opening reception to be held Sept. 16, from 4 to 6 p.m. and will run until Nov. 22. Marta Kovacs-Ruiz of the courthouse art gallery said, “It is easy to compare and con- fuse a Cheryl Korb painting with one of America’s famous painters Grandma Moses. The subjects and styles are identical. No wonder, the two artists have the same backgrounds. Both grew up on a farm, raised children, loved the simple joys of rural life and got their in- spiration from their environment.” She added, “Grand- ma Moses was discov- ered when she was 78 years old. Lucky for us, Cheryl Korb became a well-known and well- respected artist at an early age.” Korb, a self-taught artist began painting and weaving to make extra money while at home with her children when they were young and contin- ues to work from home full time. Her exhibit will include 24 pieces of art. Among the art she will exhibit are two of her favorite pieces. One is “Wickham Sign,” a winter scene painted on board. Korb noted, “The Indian head and advertisement were on a barn here locally, since torn down. The framed with the horse shoes I bought from Mary Gere in S. Mon- trose.” She added, “The second, “The Fair,” is the Falls Overfield Fair from my childhood. The white schoolhouse was torn down long ago. The frame was a 25 cent rescue, with all that crumbly gold plas- ter. I soaked it in the pond for a week, per Mary Gere’s instruc- tion, and it cleaned up nicely. The primitive animals are fun and relaxing for me to do.” Korb said, “Craft shows were very pop- ular in the late 80s and early 90s, I couldn’t keep up. I painted a large mural for the Ramada Inn lobby in 1998. Through a gal- lery owner staying there, I started in her gallery in Narrows- burg, N.Y., just up from Honesdale. They have the majority of my work.” She added, “I switched from acrylics to oils about 8 years ago. Oils opened up a whole new world of color and depth for me. Painting, for me, seems to be a constant growth, and I feel no- where near the end of all this, it’s still just the beginning. Usually when I’m walking, an idea, like a little bright star hits me, and I can’t wait to paint it. Pulling from my memories (my heart) really gets me going. It’s difficult to explain. It really helps that I live alone to be creative, and that I have generations of farmers in my blood.” Among the art she will exhibit are two of her favorite pieces. “Wickham Sign,” a winter scene painted on board. Korb noted, “The Indian head and advertisement were on a barn here locally, since torn down. The framed with the horse shoes I bought from Mary Gere in S.

SUBMITTED PHOTO “Folk Art of Cheryl Korb” will be on display at the Wyoming County Courthouse art gallery in Tunkhannock Sept. 16 through Nov. 22. Folk ART Cheryl Korb exhibits at Wyoming County Courthouse By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent a foreign leader on U.S. soil. This takes him on a new tour while also returning him to an unfinished adventure. This book contains the daily, sometimes hourly, ad- ventures of a thirtysomething special agent for the United States Secret Service in Los Angeles, Ca., to give the reader a real sense of what it is like to work for the secret service. “I cut some storylines short, and the reason I did that was because that’s the way the real experience is with these events,” said Racek. “When I was with them I called it the shotgun ap- proach, where you had pel- lets coming at you from all directions, and you’d grab one and that’s the one you’d go with, and the other ones would go by and they’re gone.” Racek began the book, which was published by Xli- bris, about three years ago. He said he worked a little bit with an editor, who a friend put him in contact with, but never sought any help when it came to the actual writing. “I wrote it in my own way, and in a way that felt good to me, and it just flowed out when I wrote it. And, the goal was to get through that one case, which is basically just a few days in his life,” said Racek. Racek said he found the process so enjoyable he has already started work on his next book, which will also follow the Race character on another case. He added that he could see doing a series of books with the character. “A Time to Die” is avail- able in hardcover, paperback and ebook at www.amazon- .com, www.xlibris.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - After retiring from the U.S. Secret Service in January of 2011, Scott A. Racek felt he had enough stories about his job to fill 10 books, and this year he finished the first. The South Abington Town- ship resident released his first novel, “A Time to Die,” in June. Although he has had no formal training as a writer, Racek had something even more important for an author, a wealth of material that he knew would interest people. “A lot of friends, in other professions, they always wanted to hear my stories,” said Racek. “So, I took elements of things that I’ve seen or ob- served, participated in or heard of, and put those in as core parts in a story.” Racek said he used his experience as inspiration for the work of fiction. The book follows Robert “Race” Krocak, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and a mem- ber of the U.S. Secret Ser- vicewho has been assigned to the Los Angeles Field Office. “Race” has been on loan to a Federal FBI task force against terrorism along with representatives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Office, the Los Angeles Po- lice Department, U.S. Cus- toms, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the CIA. The character has been called out on a weekend to assist the CIA in surveillance of the meet between planners of an assassination attempt of Write what you know South Abington Township author releases first book.

DALTON - The Dalton Com- munity Library is calling all aspiring poets in the 4th and 6th grades to take part in a poetry writing workshop with Craig Czury Sept. 19 at 4 p.m. as part of the library’s Krea- tive Kids Kafe. Czury’s program, “Found, Lost, & Belonging,” is a writ- ing workshop about objects, friends or family and is open to 4th to 6th grade students. Kreative Kids Kafe will meet weekly on Monday from 4 to 5 p.m. beginning Sept. 19. According to Czury, “Every kid has had this experience with found and lost objects, friends, or family he or she will carry with them their whole life.” In a poem by Czury, Journal 7/25/11, Hop Bottom, Pa. he wrote, “At night from the kitchen window from the back field near the pond from your truck swerving potholes your story augers deep through a tangle of roots home or far from home lit by a tower of stars written in earth and water with flammable ink.” Czury earned an M.F.A. from Wilkes University and is a lecturer at Albright College in Reading. His work as a poet takes him to schools, homeless shelters, prisons, mental hospitals and commu- nity centers throughout the world. He is also the author of 20 collections of poetry and his most recent work, “Kitchen of Conflict Resolution,” has been translated into several lan- guages. He is currently work- ing on a regional documentary writing project, “Common Ground,” A Community Con- versation about Natural Gas and Northeastern Pa. The workshop is a part- nership program of Keystone College, Countryside Conser- vancy, Edward L. Rose Con- servancy, North Branch Land Trust, Cabot Oil and Gas, Craig Czury Poetry Project and Summerhouse Grill. Regarding Kreative Kids Kafe, Geeza added, “Kreative Kids Kafe is a group of 4th to 6th graders who come togeth- er to develop their creativity which originated last spring at Dalton Community Library. Celeste Cali and I plan to supervise a variety of activ- ities, including watercolor painting, writing, making journals out of recycled mate- rials, dancing, and so forth. Last year, and again this fall, we have enlisted Keystone College faculty and students to instruct our young Kreative Kids, as well as community volunteers. Stacey Wyland of Keystone’s Service Learning department has been a won- derful partner in this offering. All area Kreative Kids are welcome. We are also looking for volunteer instructors.” To learn more about Czury, visit craigczury.com or for more information regarding the workshop, call 570.563.2014.

For many of the festival- goers, the screening of a film like “The Cave of the Forgot- ten” will be their only chance to see the movie played on a large screen with an audience. This is the case with most of the films in the festival, which were not screened in the area. Morgan said the staff also tries to choose films that are not yet out on DVD, but due to the short window between the films being released in theaters and then going to DVD, that becomes harder to do each year. Thankfully, she said, it hasn’t hurt the festival. “The people who come to the festival want the movie experience,” said Morgan. “These movies were not meant to be watched alone in your home. They were made to be seen in a theater.” The Dietrich Theater is located at 60 East Tioga Street, Tunkhannock. For more information, call 570.836.1022. SHOW Continued from Page 13 CLARKS SUMMIT- David Hunsich, of Clarks Summit has been acting since he was 8 in local theater groups and productions. Now, as an adult, he is taking on a new role in theatrical productions: direc- tor. Hunisch is making his di- recting debut for the Actors Circle in Scrantonwith the comedy play “The Ladies of the Camellias,” at Providence Playhouse in Scranton, begin- ning Sept.15. Growing up and acting in the Clarks Summit area his entire life, Hunisch has put together an impressive resume as an actor and he was most recently seen at the Providen- ce Playhouse last season play- ing the role of Tony Abbot in the show “Heaven Can Wait.” Hunisch also had the opportu- nity to take acting classes in New York City as well as enrolling in a professional two-year Conservatory train- ing program with Scranton’s Electric Theatre Company that allowed him to work with playwrights and actors from different countries. Now working on the other side of a play as the director , Hunisch admitted that al- though he loves the rigors of being an actor, he was excited to take on the new challenges of a director. “I find that I enjoy both being immersed in a character and interacting with others onstage, but it is exciting as well to be able to stand back and shape the show as a whole. It’s a lot of work - you have to be extremely well- organized and stay connected to so many different ele- ments,” according to Hunisch. Cathy Strauch, the producer and publicity coordinator for the show, thinks Hunisch has the qualities needed to being a successful director. “I’ve known David since he was about 10 years old. I’ve directed him and seen him grow as an actor. He’s a very focused and well-organized person. Two qualities you absolutely need as a director. He’s going to be a good one,” Strauch said. The show is a farcical com- edy about an imagined meet- ing in Paris, 189, between the famous theater divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse. They are each to star in sep- arate productions of “The Lady of the Camellias” on successive nights. The show will run from Sept. 15 to 18 and Sept. 23 to 25 with show times on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sun- days at 2 p.m. at Providence Playhouse, 1256 Providence Road, in Scranton. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors, $8 for students. On Sept. 15, tickets will be $8 for general admission and seniors, and $6 for students. Call 570.342.9707 for reser- vations.

Join us on: Artists from the Rwandan art cooperative, Ivuka Arts, will serve as artists-in-resi- dence at The University of Scranton and will show a selection of their cooperative’s contemporary African paint- ings at Everything Natural with a Live Art event Sept. 16. The two artists, Emmanuel Nkuranga and Innocent Nku- runziza are leaders in an effort to build a contemporary arts and culture scene in Rwanda. Nkurunziza also will have a show in New York City in September. Their only previ- ous North American show was held by special invitation of President Bill and Secre- tary of State Hilary Clinton. Ivuka Arts is the major arts collective in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. The two art- ists will show15 to 20 paint- ings that provide a sample of the work of their member artists. The full art show will open at Everything Natural, 426 S. State Street Sept. 16, and the artists will be there in person and conduct a live painting demonstration. The event will launch Ev- erything Natural’s Home, Hearth and World Open House, Sept. 17, which will also introduce locally baked treats from Peaceful Valley Bakery in Justus and feature live music by At Home, a Dallas- based duo, along with food sampling, reflexology, chair massage and informa- tional exhibits. The “Live Art” events are performances that the artists host in Rwanda to generate excitement about the arts. Further, Ivuka Arts is deeply committed to using the arts in various ways to heal post- genocide Rwanda and to re- build the country econom- ically. The Arts collective runs a traditional dance program for street children. Nkuranga teaches art at a local orphan- age and sells their paintings at their gallery; he also has be- gun an art program for local cardiac patients. The artists are coming to northeast Pennsylvania at the invitation of Sharon Meagher, a professor of Philosophy and the Chair of the Department of Latin American Studies and Women’s Studies at The University of Scranton. Meagher met the artists last summer when she was doing some consulting work for the Centre for Gender, Culture and Development at the Kigali Institute of Education. She returned with a colleague and some University of Scranton students in January. “Our students were so inspired by these artists, and I am too,” said Meagher. “Their visit here is a great opportunity for both the University and local communities to learn more about Rwanda’s present sit- uation and hopes for the fu- ture.” A sample of the artists work and more details about their biographies can be found on the Ivuka Arts website: http:// www.ivukaarts.com. Nku- ranga also has his own web- site: www.emmamainart.com PHOTOS SUBMITTED Innocent Nkurunziza’s work will be featured at Everything Natural be- ginning Sept. 16. He will also host a show in New York City in Septem- ber. Rwandan artists at Everything Natural Emmanuel Nkuranga will partici- pate in an art show that opens Sept. 16 at Everything Natural. WAVERLY- This fall, the Waverly Community House is providing children and adults an opportunity to learn about the illustration profession from one of the best in the business. Jennif- er Kozlansky, a Tunkhan- nock High School alumni and Wyoming, resident, will be the instructor for the “Art of Illustration” classes set to begin Sept. 22. The classes will be bro- ken up into two different age groups. The first will be for children in grades four through 12 and the second group for adults 18 and older. “I’d say pretty much the only requirement people need for these classes other than age is some type in- terest in illustration,” Ko- zlansky said jokingly . Lead by a fierce desire to continue to grow as an il- lustrator, Kozlansky has traveled all over the world to hone her skills. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with hon- ors in illustration from Ringling College of Arts and Design, Kozlansky tem- porarily took her talents to Europe. She studied at the Studio Art Centers Interna- tional in Florence, Italy where she was able take on an internship that allowed her to create illustrations for the Museo de la Speco- la, the largest Natural Mu- seum in Europe. Despite all of the experi- ences studying abroad and attendance at one of the most prestigious art schools in the country, an unexpect- ed event was one of the most important moments in Kozlansky’s life as an il- lustrator. While she study- ing abroad in Italy, she ob- served an art class of young children that she said com- pletely blew her away. The amazing part about the class was the degree of difficulty for the class and their talent. Some of the children even tried sharing their techniques with Ko- zlansky. “I didn’t learn some of those things until I was in middle school or high school and they were doing them around age five.” This moment reminded Kozlansky of how she want- ed to instruct people on illustration techniques at some point in her life. Uti- lizing and analyzing exam- ples from some of the greatest illustrators of mod- ern day is a technique she plans on using. Now that the time has come, Kozlan- sky is hardly able to contain her excitement. “I’m so excited. I’m ex- cited to teach the adults and children. I love seeing the potential in people and the enthusiasm that builds along the way. I think peo- ple are really going to be able to relate to and under- stand what we’re doing. I can’t wait,” Kozlansky said. Classes for “The Art of Illustration” will begin Sept. 22 and will take place for an eight -week period. The first class, for chil- dren in grades four through 12, will be held from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The second class, for adults 18 years and ol- der, will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. All classes take place in the Scout Room. The fee for the eight-week classes is $100. Participants should bring their own spiral bound sketchbooks (mini- mum 11 by 17 inches) and pencils and erasers. All other materials will be pro- vided. Registration forms are available at the Waverly Community House and on the website:www.waverly- comm.org. Register early, as class size is limited.

SEPTEMBER 14 TO SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 50¢ Dr. Matthew Grimaldi, director of athletics at Keystone College, La Plume has announced the appointment of Nevada Smith as the college’s new head men’s basketball coach. The position became available after former head coach Jason Leone stepped down last month. “We are very excited to welcome Nevada to the department and the pro- gram,” stated Dr. Gri- maldi. “As a former Divi- sion III athlete himself, Nevada grasps the stu- dent-athlete philosophy that we strive to convey here at the College,” add- ed Dr. Grimaldi. Smith joins the Giants after spending the past five years as an assistant coach at Ithaca College. During his time at Itha- ca, the Bombers saw their best five year stretch in program history, compiling a mark of 96-40, a period that saw the team claim three Empire eight regular season championships in 2008, 2009 and 2011 and two NCAA Tournament berths in 2009 and 2011. That timeframe also in- cluded an ECAC title in 2010 and five appearances in the Empire 8 Cham- pionship Tournament. Smith was involved in all aspects of the Ithaca program, including devel- oping scouting reports on all opponents, the imple- mentation of all offensive game plans and the devel- opment of the Bombers’ perimeter players. That hands on approach aided in the development of six First Team All-Empire 8 performers, three Empire 8 Players of the Year and three NABC All-Amer- icans. The Bombers also set the program and Empire 8 record for points per game with an 88.5ppg average during his tenure. Coach Smith was also responsible for recruiting the 2009-10 Empire 8 Rookie of the Year in Sean Rossi. Rossi has led the nation in assists in each of the last two sea- sons. “We are going to play a fun style of basketball that showcases our play- er’s strengths,” explained Smith. “I have been fortu- nate to work with some excellent basketball coach- es that have prepared me for this opportunity. I am excited to be joining the Keystone family. I hope to build on the success that Coach Leone has es- tablished over the past four years.” Smith also spent three seasons as an assistant coach with Ithaca’s soft- ball team; the Bombers advanced to the NCAA playoffs twice and fin- ished fourth at the NCAA World Series in 2008. Prior to joining Ithaca he was at Allegheny Col- lege where he was an as- See Keystone , Page 2 Keystone taps Smith for basketball post LEHMAN TWP. – Right down the field Lake-Lehman went with the second-half kickoff. The Black Knights gained sizeable chunks of yardage to cover 80 yards and score a touchdown. But more importantly, they gained a chunk of momentum in a football game tilted decisively toward Lackawanna Trail Jr. Sr. High School. Then it was gone in an instant. Trail’s Marvess Rosiak returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a score, sapping the momentum as the Lions handed Lehman a 48-28 non-conference loss Sat- urday night. “Early in the season you know how important turnovers and special teams are,” said Trail third-year coach Steve Jervis, who previously coached six years at Tunkhannock. “We had some problems last week. We worked on special teams all week.” Rosiak’s touchdown, straight up the gut of Lehman’s coverage unit, gave Trail (2-0) a 34-14 lead. An interception by Jeremy Greenley on Lehman’s first play after Rosiak’s return was con- verted into another score and a 41-14 advantage entering the fourth quarter. Lehman failed to make any inroads on the deficit, falling to 0-2. The Black Knights made the District 2 Class 2A playoffs last season and are now teetering on being knocked out of the district picture early. “Our first three games, you look at the situation and want to be 3-0,” Lehman coach Jerry Gilsky said. “We’re 0-2 now. We knew the first three games of the season were the keys. We had the top-two single-A schools we were going against and then Wyoming Area. … We’re not in the driver’s seat.” Rosiak drove the Black Knights off course. Besides the kickoff return, he threw a 47- yard option pass for a touch- down, scooped up a fumble and returned it 6 yards for a TD and ran 45 yards for Trail’s final score. “We’ve got to get it done de- fensively,” Gilsky said. “That’s what we’re focusing on this week – defense.” Gilsky was somewhat satisfied with the offense. The Black Knights had nearly 300 yards, Lackawanna Trail roars past Lake-Lehman BY JOHN ERZAR
[email protected] Sports Reporter See Roars, Page 4 Abington Heights High School graduate Cory Spangen- berg batted .471in the postsea- son, helping the Fort Wayne Tin Caps sweep the best-of-three Midwest League quarterfinal series. The teamadvanced to the semifinals where they were swept. Spangenberg, a lead-off hit- ting second baseman, did his best to try to extend Fort Wayne’s season. The first-round draft pick by the parent San Diego Padres in June’s Major League Baseball Draft singled in the tying run in the top of the ninth inning of Monday’s 8-7, season-ending loss to the Lansing Lugnuts. Spangenberg went 3-for-4 in the game with a walk to finish 8-for-17 in four playoff games. In the quarterfinals, Spangen- berg had five hits in two games against the Bowling Green Hot Rods. He led off Friday’s clinching win with a double and the game’s first run scored. Spangenberg also was in- volved in helping Fort Wayne clinch the playoff spot on the last day of the regular season.

The Spar- tans stomped it into oblivi- on. Scoring on its first seven possessions of the first half, Valley West went on to pound its long-distance rival 51-0 at Spartan Stadi- um in a non-conference game. “We just had to keep the ball moving, keep scoring and do everything flaw- lessly,” said Valley West lineman Matt Reams, one of several seniors who never celebrated a victory over the Comets. “And we did. We didn’t commit many penalties at all. We wanted to keep sharp and keep the momentum mov- ing.” Valley West (2-0) did all that, handing Abington (1-1) its worst loss in the seven years Joe Repshis has coached the two-time defending District 2 Class 3A champion. By halftime, Valley West led 45-0, scor- ing eight more points than in its last four games com- bined with the Comets. “I didn’t imagine it at all,” Valley West quarter- back Eugene Lewis said. “We had a lot of things going on this week with the flood. Our whole team stuck together with what happened this week and we came out here and showed we’re a real team.” The Spartans hadn’t practiced since last Wednesday except for a walk-though Sunday be- cause of the evacuation of several communities which are part of the school dis- trict. They didn’t miss a beat. Lewis had three rushing touchdowns and running back Tashawn Bunch add- ed another as Valley West built a 28-0 lead at 10:03 of the second quarter. Le- wis followed with a pair of 18-yard TD passes – one to Derrick Simms and the other to Dylan Flay- hart. Kicker Nick Singer made it 45-0 with a 38-yard field goal at 2:24 of the second quarter. The Spar- tans took two knees on their final possession of the first half. “Valley West is very explosive offensively and we knew that coming in,” Repshis said. “They made big plays early on, made some quick scores and did a great job getting us off the field on offense. Credit to them.” The second half was played exclusively by the reserves, and they added a score – a 13-yard TD pass from Michael Baur to Quincy Patrick. The back- ups also preserved the shutout – Valley West’s first in the last 40 games – by holding Abington scoreless. “I know we have a lot of playmakers offensively,” Valley West coach Pat Keating said. “We get a lot of attention there. But you know what? We just played two pretty good football teams and we’ve given up seven points in two weeks. My defensive staff has done a great job putting the game plans together, and the kids have done a tremendous job coming out and executing the game plans.” Abington had just 2 yards rushing on nine car- ries in the first half. The passing game had some success late in the second quarter, but for the most part was also limited. Bunch and Ian Labar teamed up for one sack, Trey Cowman had another and defensive end Chris Coleman picked off a pass. Spartans defeat Comets BY JOHN ERZAR

Leone, who recently re- signed as head coach at Keystone College, has been named the new men’s bas- ketball coach at Oswego State, according to director of athletics Tim Hale. Keystone went 21-6 last season, including a win over Oswego State’s team that eventually qualified for the NCAA Tournament. The Giants were 71-35 in Le- one’s four seasons. “Being a native of Central New York, I am excited to be back in an area that I love and have a lot of pride in,” Leone said, according to a press release on su- nyac.com. “In addition, I am ready to take on the responsibility of continuing and building upon the suc- cess that the men’s basket- ball program has experi- enced in recent years. Leone, from Syracuse, began his college career with two seasons at Divi- sion I Lafayette College before moving on to the University of Rochester where he was a league scor- ing leader. His brother, Joe, was a captain of the Oswe- go basketball team and his sister, Lindsay, graduated from the school. Former Keystone coach lands new job sistant varsity coach and the Gators’ head junior varsity coach for the 2005-06 season. Prior to his arrival at Allegheny, Coach Smith served as head coach at Canton for the 2004-05 season, coaching one All-Region and two All-Conference picks. He also served as an assistant coach at St. Lawrence University from 2002-04, a stretch that saw the team compile a 34-18 mark, including a 2003-2004 UCAA Regular Season title. During his playing days, Coach Smith was a four-year starter at Bethany College, scoring 1,255 points to rank fifth on the program’s all-time scoring list. He led the nation in three-point field goals per game in 2000- 01 and his 313 career three-point baskets rank 13th among all NCAA Division III players. As a senior, Smith helped the Bisons to a school-record 21 wins and the program’s first NCAA playoff ap- pearance in 20 years. He also demonstrated his ath- letic ability on the links for Bethany as a three- year team captain and a Second Team All-PAC selection. Smith will inherit eight players from a Keystone squad that went 21-6 last season, and advanced to the conference semi-fi- nals. Leading the way for the Giants will be CSAC First Teamer Kenneth Hardnett, in addition to Honorable Mention selec- tions Malcolm Boone and Mike Kelly. A 2002 graduate of Be- thany, Smith also earned a master’s degree from St. Lawrence in 2004.

Baseball showcase rescheduled This fall, student athletes who wake up on Saturday morning with injuries from games or practices on Fri- day have an alternative option for expert medical care. Saturday Morning Sports Injury Clinics for athletes will be offered at the Adult Urgent Care Center at Geisinger South Wilkes- Barre, a campus of Geis- inger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Clinics began Saturday, Sept. 10, and be held each Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. through Nov. 5. “Many young athletes sustain new injuries or aggravate existing injuries during competition on Fri- day, and they need care on Saturday when physicians’ offices are closed,” said David Ross, M.D., a sports medicine specialist and director of the clinic. “The Saturday morning clinic gives athletes the option to be seen by sports medicine physicians who are highly experienced in caring for athletes.” Dr. Ross added that ap- pointments are not re- quired when visiting the Geisinger Sports Injury Clinic, and most Geisinger Urgent Care patients are treated and discharged within 90 minutes of arriv- al. “Waiting an entire week- end to be treated for an injury can be dangerous and lead to unnecessary complications,” said Dr. Ross. “The Saturday Morning Sports Injury Clinic is a great option for student athletes to get spe- cialized care for those common, non-emergent injuries such as muscle sprains and minor frac- tures.” For more information, call 1.800.275.6401.

Kiehart found Filarsky for a 15-yard touchdown on the Chiefs first possession cap- ping off a 14-play 82-yard drive that took 6:04 off the clock. Ryan Nichols added the extra point to give Lake- land a 7-0 lead with 3:39 remaining in the first quar- ter. On the ensuing drive, Chiefs’ cornerback Joey Natale intercepted Mid Val- ley quarterback Martin Walsh at the Spartans 31- yard line. Kiehart hit Fil- arsky for a six-yard score to end a 10-play drive putting Lakeland ahead 13-0 with 10:26 left in the second quarter. “The line did a great job this week,” Kiehart said. “We’re starting to come together as a team. The backs were very good on play fakes and Ryan Ni- chols ran the ball hard all game.” Filarsky finished the game with nine catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Ryan Ni- chols scored on a six-yard run to cap an eight-play 47-yard drive giving the Chiefs a 19-0 lead with 4:18 remaining in the second quarter. Nichols set up La- keland in Mid Valley terri- tory with a 33-yard punt return. After a Spartans three- and-out, Kiehart found Fil- arsky for a 61-yard touch- down on the first play of Lakeland’s drive. The Chiefs led 25-0 with 2:18 left in the second quarter. “Me and (Kyle) Kiehart have been practicing a lot throwing the ball and work- ing on timing,” Filarsky said. “It really pays off. Throughout the summer we would stay after practice and throw routes. We would work on it constantly until we got it right.” Kiehart completed 13 of 16 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. Walsh found wide receiver Ron Tomasetti on a four- yard touchdown pass to cap a six-play 71-yard drive. Running back Antonio Rus- so, who gained 122 yards on 13 carries, broke off a 47- yard run to set up the score. Russo also converted the two-point conversion, mak- ing the score Lakeland 25-8 in the final minute of the first half. Russo intercepted Kiehart on the Chiefs first posses- sion of the second half, but the Spartans were unable to capitalize on the turnover. On Lakeland’s next drive, Ryan Nichols scored from six yards out ending a 11- play 83-yard drive. Nichols rushed for 113 yards on 23 carries. Chiefs’ fullback Tyler Brady, who gained 93 yards on 17 carries, had a key 25-yard run during the possession. After the extra point, Lakeland led 32-8. “The line opened up some holes and we ran right through,” Brady said. “It was great. I give everything to the line.” The Spartans began the fourth quarter with nine- play 77-yard drive that re- sulted in a five-yard touch- down run from Russo. Walsh found Tomasetti in the corner of the end zone for the two-point conver- sion. Lakeland led 32-16 with 8:26 left in the fourth quarter. Lakeland head coach Jeff Wasilchak was happy with the way his team played after a Week One loss to Scranton Prep. “We just executed better,” Wasilchak said. “We made a lot of plays in the first half. There is always room for improvement, but I was pleased with our perform- ance tonight. I was proud of the way the kids bounced back. It was a real good win for us.” Lakeland (1-1) will host G.A.R. next week. Mid Val- ley (0-2) will host Hanover Area. Chiefs offense overpowers Mid Valley BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

The decision to move the annual Community Apprecia- tion Day, a time of local service projects and no classes, fromits original date of Oct. 18 was not a difficult one. “Aneighbor shows compas- sion in times of need,” said Vice President and Provost Dr. Jim Lytle. “We adjusted our sched- ule a little bit, a change that pales in comparison to what some in our surrounding com- munity are living with. We hope to be some help in an area so terribly affected.” Area devastation fromthe remnants of Tropical StormLee remains widespread. Nearly 5,400 businesses and homes sustained flood-related damage in Wyoming, Luzerne, and Susquehanna counties alone, officials said. The locations are immediately north and west of the Baptist Bible College and Seminary home in Lackawanna County. President Barack Oba- ma issued a disaster declaration, opening the way for wider fed- eral assistance to the region. Hundreds of students, faculty, and staff will be involved in many different cleanup and relief efforts, serving mostly in groups of up to 40. Baptist Bible College is work- ing with the Wyoming County Emergency Management Agen- cy in tackling several cleanup efforts. Volunteers will drive to a central location in the Tunk- hannock area fromcampus, with some traveling on buses rented by the college. From there, groups will assist with a range of projects as needed, including helping people move furniture, distributing donated goods, and cleaning mud and debris.
