WASB accepts Superintendent Young’s resignation

by Seth Isenberg

SLIP SLIDING AWAY: An attempt by the driver of this truck to navigate down Susquehanna Street in White Haven ended up with the truck stuck in the White Haven Area Community Library’s railyard park area. Thanks to Jeannie Brugger, who was in the perfect spot to get this shot.

The Weatherly Area School Board, at their Wednesday August 11 meeting, approved the resignation of Teresa L. Young (as) superintendent, effective November 7, 2021.

She will begin her new job as superintendent of the Keystone School District on November 8. Keystone is in Knox Borough in Clarion County.

Young, who was present at the meeting, explained that she was “moving closer to home.”

The Keystone School District has 934 students, in two buildings.

Young was hired to be superintendent in March of 2017 after a three month-long search. She was chosen from among 11 applicants. She replaced Thomas McLaughlin, who had left to become the human resources director at the Palmerton Area School District.

Young came to lead the Weatherly Area School District after working in the Harmony Area School District, near La Jose Pennsylvania, for 19 years.

School board president Girard Fewins thanked Young See WASB, page 7 BEAUTIFUL BOATING WEATHER was on tap on Sunday for the Parade of Boats headquartered at Nick’s Lake House in Lake Harmony. The well-attended event raised funds for the Lake Harmony EMS and Volunteer Fire Company.

Editorial

Twenty years gone

by Seth & Ruth Isenberg

For 20 years, the United States and its allies worked hard to provide Afghanistan with a vision of hope. Key among the many pieces of that plan was the uplifting of women with the Western ideas that women have an equal role in the nation’s present and future.

Twenty years means that young people throughout that country were educated, started careers, began families, and lived with hope. Even as the U.S. military presence started to wind down, there was a sense that Afghanistan could be safe for this younger generation.

The illusion of safety began to crumble away these last couple of months as the Taliban’s summer offensive began to capture regional capitals. By August, the highly touted Afghan military looked to be collapsing — and by mid-August, actually did so.

All the money, blood, hard work of two decades is gone.

Worse, all the Afghans who helped us are now trapped. It’s a horrible mess.

Could this result have been changed? Maybe. The political decisions, by both administrations, to make a rush to the exits for our troops was an open invitation for the mess we now see before us.

We hope that, here in our safe place, we might be able to find homes and work for our Afghan allies who now need new homes. We hope that our government finds the will and way to get our allies out to safety. And we pray for the safety and well-being of the women who are going back into subjugation.

Archives From The Journal-Herald Issue of August 15, 1991 Editors & Publishers Jay and Clara Holder The Presbyterian Church of White Haven will soon welcome the Rev. Laurie McNeill, who comes here after serving for two years as the associate pastor at the East Stroudsburg Presbyterian Church.

Jack Schaffer will present a keyboard recital at the Zion Lutheran Church of Weatherly as part of the church’s 125th anniversary. He will perform works by Bach, Buxtehude, Pacheibel, Mozart, Rachmaninoff and Mendelsohn, on the piano, harpsichord and organ. Schaffer is a retired high school music teacher. He returned to Weatherly in 1990 to purchase and operate The Fern Hotel.

August 21 will be Clean-Up Day in Dennison Township.

Dominic Bianco, owner of Millie’s Variety Store which burned down in December of 1987, would like to rebuild on his lot. There would be stores or offices on the ground floor, and apartments on the second floor. He came to White Haven Council seeking relief from a lien on his property which paid for cleanup costs, or if no relief, a payment plan.

The lien on the property has made it difficult to get construction financing.

Nuisance notices have been posted on the burnt-out property on the corner of Chemung and Maple Streets.

Inside this issue is a photo of Stephen Kaminski of White Haven being awarded the 1990-91 St. Jude’s Coaches Award. A specially created art-

work celebrated Kaminski’s varsity basketball career, scoring 1,200 points for the St. Jude’s Nomads.

Stephen will continue his basketball career at Crestwood High School this fall.

The Eurana Park pavilion and bandshell are getting a rehabilitation by contractor Ronnie Hinkle at a cost of $4,654 for the bandshell and $9,723 for the pavilion. Part of the repairs will be paid for by the Homecoming Association and the 125th Anniversary Committee, with the rest paid for by Weatherly Borough.

The visit by the Red Cross Bloodmobile to White Haven

on the 12th had a good response, with 55 people coming to donate, and 52 pints collected. There were two first-time donors.

An advertisement: Girls Wanted from Pennsylvania, between 9-19 to compete in 1991 Wilkes-Barre Pageants. Over $15,000 in prizes and scholarships…

Seth’s Sightings

I’ve come down with a summer cold. It started last week as the temperatures climbed into the 90s. By Friday, I was staying close to home with cough medicines and the like. That meant the planned trips to local festivals and events were put off.

Instead of live music and festival or fair food, it was internet vids (The Voice videos have been prime, and comedians) and books to read.

I am finishing a Jeffrey Deaver-penned James Bond novel, Return to Carte Blanche. In a bit of superb timing, the new Bruno, Chief of Police novel by Martin Walker has arrived on our doorstep in a nice neat box. It will be a perfect companion for me as I recover from what ails me.

I am sending some readers to this weekend’s air show.

Congratulations to the contest winner. I had a winner of the

There are also four yet unclaimed tickets for tonight’s show — Thursday at 7.

Again, first to call gets them.

On our way home from a medical test on Saturday, we were able to buy some freshpicked peaches from a farm stand in Jonas. Since then, we’ve been enjoying peaches in our breakfast oatmeal, and peaches as a light dessert, trying to stay ahead of the rapidly ripening fruit.

We told the owner that we’d be back as soon as her pears ripened — they were still rock hard on this trip. So that trip will be for more peaches, plus the pears.

We sighted a very large Great Blue Heron that was standing at the shallow end of Lake Harmony. Ruth got some

WASB

Continued from page 1 for all the work she had done here during the past four and a half years. There was a split vote to accept the resignation, with Fewins and Chad Obert voting no, while the rest of the board approved.

The board was unanimous in approving the YES program agreement with the St. Luke’s Physician Group, Inc., which provides an on-site psychotherapist when needed by students or staff. There is no cost to the school district, as services are paid for by health insurance. A visit can be initiated by a student 14 years of age and older.

Personnel The board was also unanimous in hiring Timothy Young as a full-time custodian, pending all clearances and paperwork. His starting pay is $13.10 an hour, plus benefits.

In other personnel matters, the board approved a list of advisors for a long list of school programs. Scott Zoscin topped the list, as athletic director to be paid $7,258.49 for that work. Daniel Derflinger was next, as the high school and middle school band director, to be paid $5,147.66 for that work. The list includes class and club advisors, scholastic scrimmage, and more.

Also on the list of personnel matters are resignations of Brian Kaminski as baseball coach, and Tiffany Bobeck as

the junior high and varsity cheerleading advisor, both effective August 1. A list of approved game workers for the upcoming sports season was approved — with pay from $30 to $45 per game.

County Security Police will provide security at athletic events when borough police are not available, at a cost of $18.50 per hour.

Connie Derr was approved as an assistant soccer coach for the boys team for a stipend. Tiana Genetti and Nathan Pfeiffer were approved as volunteer soccer coaches.

The board had a discussion about hours this fall in the weight room, and changing some of the guidelines about its use, and about the volunteer supervisors.

Superintendent Young recommended approval of updates to handbooks for athletics, pre-K, support staff, staff, WAVE parents, and student handbooks for the elementary school, middle school and high school students.

Paving Regarding the paving project, discussion centered on the delays, and that the job is supposed to be complete on the 23rd (fines of $250 a day start after that). The board also chose to up the contract with Brinkash & Associates so they would provide a full time observer while the paving is being done, at a cost of $500 per day.

In committee reports, Matt von Frisch reported that there are some low numbers among those interested in competing in girls soccer this fall. Practices are beginning this week.

Five or more additional girls would make all the difference right now. Students interested in playing this fall should reach out to the coaches or to Mr. Zoscin.

Weatherly Legion Auxiliary to hold 911-Remembrance On September 11, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 360 in Weatherly will hold a “911 -Remembrance” at the post home.

September 11, 2001 was the deadliest day on US soil since the Civil War and the deadliest terrorist attack in world history. In total 2,977 lives were lost in New York city, at the Pentagon (Arlington Co, VA) and on Flight 93(near Shanksville, PA) including citizens from

90 foreign nations. Since 9/11 thousands of first responders have perished from 9/11-related illnesses (a toll that is still rising), and over 70 million children have been born in the US, meaning that over 20% of our population has no living memory of 9/11.

American Legion Auxiliary Unit 360 in Weatherly will hold a free Pancake and Sausage Breakfast on September 11, from 8 until 11 a.m.at the post home. The menu will

include assorted fruit juices, fruit salad, assorted Danish and muffins, pancakes and sausage, coffee and tea. The breakfast will be available to all first responders and

veterans, but reservations are required. The deadline for reservations is August 27.

Contact Georgia Farrow, 570427-4527.

Public input tools now available at PaRedistricting.com As a part of what he terms “the most open and transparent congressional redistricting process in Pennsylvania history,” Rep. Seth Grove, chair of the House State Government Committee, has announced that Pennsylvania residents can now submit the boundaries of their communities of interest and comment on the current congressional district map using online mapping tools now available at www.

PaRedistricting.com.

“We, as policymakers, want to hear from as many residents as possible about the

congressional redistricting process,” Grove said. “These innovative online tools put the process right in their hands, so that the voices of Pennsylvanians can be heard.”

To provide input into the redistricting process, residents should go to www.Pa Redistricting.com, and then click on the tab labeled “Provide Input” at the top of the site. From there, they can submit feedback to define their community of interest and comment on the current district map. Users will find informative videos on how to use the tools on the page.

The site is also a source for information on 10 statewide hearings on redrawing congressional districts being held by the House State Government Committee. Video recordings of two hearings that have been held, as well as written testimony, are also on the site. Users can also sign up to receive updates directly from the committee.

Every 10 years, information collected through the U.S. Census determines the number of U.S. Representatives each state is entitled based on population. Once in receipt of that data, states are responsible for redrawing the geographic area of their congressional districts to ensure equal and fair representation, and the physical manifestation of the constitutional principle, “one person, one vote.” This process is commonly referred to as redistricting.

Joan Gower (Melissa Gardner) comes to Love Letters with the experience of narrating in the White Haven Christmas Cantada for many years.

She also played the goofy sidekick for the Vacation Bible School Puppet, annually. For 20 years, while she and Ed were raising their four children, Joan was called “Miss Joannie” by many preschoolers as she passionately and animatedly taught the prerequisites for kindergarten and for life. She is also known to

many students at St. Patrick’s Church as …the crazy teacher who demonstrates how NOT to behave, and passionately shares her faith. From 2002 through 2018, Joan could be found teaching foster and adoptive families, counseling birth mothers, and helping to create families.

For more information, call the White Haven Area Community Library at 570-4438776, visit the library’s Facebook page or their website at www.whitehavenlibrary. com. All proceeds benefit the library.

the door. Personable and welcoming, he stuck out his hand, “Frank Fee-ah, I presume,” He said. “Yes, Coach. Dr. Ball asked me to come over and give you a hand.” “Well, thanks for taking the time,” he replied.

We walked into a small room full of recruits who were sitting around the conference table. Boys,” Bowden said in his distinctive Southern drawl, “I want you to meet ProFESS-Or Fee-ah. He’s going to tell you a little bit about academics at West Virginia University. I want you to pay attention. You can ask questions after he’s done.”

Of course, I tried like hell to be believable, scared to death that the Mountaineers would lose a recruit because of me.

I had a spiel prepared, but I also knew that content was only part of the deal. I had to act as though I knew what I was talking about, and the recruits had to see me that way. The thought of having to answer unexpected questions had me shaking in my boots.

Thankfully, I could pull it off … well … at least I didn’t hear any complaints.

Saturday after Saturday,

that’s where I went–and that’s what I did–for the rest of that recruiting season. Nerves never let me forget where I was and what I was doing. Certainly glad for the opportunity and tickled to get an inside look at the program, I also knew the gig wouldn’t last.

For one thing, I was a fill-in, and I would also be graduating soon, moving away from Morgantown.

Today, fifty years later, I can’t help but think about college football back then and what it is today. With decades of change, it’s not easy for a head coach to wear well over a long career. And what strikes me most about Coach Bowden is that he survived the turmoil associated with being a head coach. Hailed one day, coaches are ducking hail the next.

That happened to Bowden in Morgantown and, later, in Tallahassee. During times like those, character shows, and Coach Bowden taught us how important it is to keep your head up. It’s easy to revel in the applause but very challenging when cheers turn to jeers. Even though Coach had only two losing seasons (one at WVU, the other at FSU), he

knew what it was like to be the target of fans’ ire.

Through it all, Bobby Bowden never wavered. He remained the same and stayed the course. Never disrespectful or elusive–and certainly not abusive–Bowden always spoke frankly and directly. He always tried to do the right thing. He always put people first. He always had that smile on his face. And he was one helluva coach.

Coaches come and go. They win and lose. Some are unforgettable, and others we hardly remember. Bobby Bowden?

He’s a coach I’ll always admire and never forget.
