ABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITOR

Old man winter has finally loosened his grip on northeast Pennsylvania and now local families with school-aged children are starting to plan summer vacations.

One group dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the outdoors is hoping that local families will suggest their inaugural camp to their teenagers.

The Keystone College/Trout Unlimited Teens Conservation Camp is a collaborative effort between Keystone College in LaPlume and the Lackawanna Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which comprises all of Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wayne counties, as well as half of Wyoming County. The camp will be held from Sunday, June 14, through Saturday, June 20 and is open to teenagers ares 14-17.

“We’ve been trying to put a camp like this together for 11 years.,” said camp founder and co-director Charles Charlesworth. “This is the first year we’ve finally been able to get it together. While it is open to anyone in the country, our very first registration application came from Roanoke, Virginia, and our second is from someone from Williamsport. We’re hoping that students from northeast Pennsylvania apply as well.”

Charlesworth said that unlike run-of-themill summer camps, this one will give the students the chance to learn how to fly fish as well as learn about earth and environmental sciences and how a love for the outdoors can lead to a future career.

“The thing that satisfies us the most is that every instructor will discuss with the class how he or she made his or her career choice,” he said. “The students will learn just how many

Lackawanna Valley Trout Unlimited recently offered its fly fishing school to members of Boy Scouts of America Troop 160 of Clarks Summit and Troop 265 of Scott Township. These students, along with students who are not members of the Boy Scouts, will receive membership in Trout Unlimited and receive their fly fishing merit badge upon graduation from the program.

These classes are free to all teens, male and female, from age 14-18. From left, front row: Jonathan Oakley, Jack Setzer, Brendon Wentovich, Chris Maslya and Austin Anderline. Back row: Bryan Melliand, Edmund Champlin, Tyler Bylatas, Brady Brust, Elias Gray, Tyler James and Jordan Misihowsky.

Registration for the camp is $275 and includes meals, materials, study guides and the use of loaner equipment. Students are permitted to bring their own fishing equipment but neither Trout Unlimited nor Keystone

Joseph Murphy (left) and Matthew Slotkin (right) form Duo Montagnard, which will perform at the First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit, 300 School St., on Sunday, April 19, at 4 p.m. The duo’s concert is the final performance in the 2014-15 season of the Arts at First Presbyterian Church series.

The Duo Montagnard, with Dr. Joseph Murphy on saxophone and Dr. Matthew Slotkin on guitar, will perform at the First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit, 300 School Street, on Sunday, April 19, at 4 p.m., for the final concert of the Arts at First Presbyterian Church 2014-15 series.

Duo Montagnard was formed in 2002 and has performed more than 250 concerts in more than 45 states and 14 countries.

Festival performances include the Chautauqua Institution, Scandinavian Saxophone Festival, Hartwick College Summer Music Festival, UNC-Wilmington New Music for Guitar and Saxophone Festival and more. Organizers say that the duo is committed to the creation of a new repertoire for saxophone and guitar. Duo Montagnard has released four recordings, which include commissioned compositions, new music for saxophone and guitar and transcriptions of music by Robert Beaser, Astor

Piazzolla and Ralph Towner.

Murphy has been the saxophone professor at Mansfield University of Pennsylvania since 1987, where he has also served as department chair and director of bands.

Slotkin is an assistant professor of music at Bloomsburg University, where he directs the guitar program.

There is no charge for this concert, but a free-will offering will be taken to help support the Arts at First Presbyterian Church series. This series is supported in part by a Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Grant, a program of the Lackawanna County Commissioners and the Lackawanna County Council on Arts, Culture and Education; by a Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts grant, which is administered by the Pocono Arts Council; and by gifts from individual donors.

Ramada-Clarks Summit

A column by the Clarks Summit Shade Tree Commission

by Joshua Arp

SPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Yesterday was tax day and some of us are licking our wounds. Those unfortunate people may be more interested in another kind of party rather than a tree party, especially if those trees were funded by their local, state or federal taxes.

For taxpayers who feel that the public sector should only fill a minimal role in society, the idea of municipalfunded planting projects is problematic and the only thing worse than elected officials coming unannounced to plant a tree that you paid for on your property is elected officials planting a tree that you paid for on someone else’s property.

For even the most ardent supporters of limited government, there is a place for the public sector. Otherwise, who would research and regulate the movement of firewood to try to prevent Michigan’s emerald ash borer from destroying your ash trees in Clarks Summit? The public sector is just that — the inevitable connection between private lives. In other words, unless someone is advocating for human life to be hermit life, there has to be public interaction. There are multiple degrees of regulating public interaction on the one hand and ornamenting it on the other. For example, one municipality might cut down all public trees to eliminate risk and maintenance.

But property values suffer there as the residents migrate to a nearby municipality that is planting and maintaining public trees and landscaping.

The public sector is a reality of life and there are dilemmas when defining the nature of that public sector. The Clarks Summit Shade Tree Commission has tried to

follow a careful approach to our publicsector responsibilities. When applying ordinances and permits, we have tried to be both firm and understanding by recognizing “grandfathered” situations. When raising, acquiring and spending public money, we have tried to be prudent. We plant, if possible, in the most impactful areas, using volunteer labor and we access grant funds that have already been funded through our taxes.

We are also looking for creative funding outside of taxes. We have developed a proposal similar to that already being done elsewhere. In Ocean City, New Jersey, when any construction requires a zoning permit, a landscape plan must be submitted that is in full compliance with the landscaping ordinance of the city. The ordinance states that developers who cannot provide a tree on a particular lot must pay $375 for each tree into a fund that will provide a tree in an alternate location. By focusing on development money, this plan recognizes “grandfathered” situations on the one hand, but requires prospective investors to improve not only the value of the land to themselves, but also to the community. In this case, taxes are not used to improve public green spaces. Instead, existing market demand for property willingly pays the bill.

The Gathering Place will present “Balto: A True Story of the Bravest Dog in America” at the Clarks Summit Borough Building, 304 S. State St., on Saturday, April 18, at 1 p.m.

Performed by the Dietrich Children’s Theatre, this interactive play follows the true story of Balto the sled dog, a fourpawed American hero. In 1925, when an outbreak of disease threatens the children of Nome, Alaska, the needed medicine is more than 600 miles away. No one can get through the snow by plane, train, boat or car. It is up to Balto and her team to deliver the medicine and save the town.

“Balto: A True Story of the Bravest Dog in America” is directed by Jennifer Jenkins and adapted for the stage by actor and playwright, Laurel Radzieski, who will play the role of Balto. The production will also feature local actors David Swanson, Brenda Wenner and Rich Ryczak. The performance will be followed by a talk-back with the actors.

This is the second of four plays to be presented by the Dietrich Children’s Theatre in collaboration with The Gathering Place, a new nonprofit raising funds to transform the former Clarks Summit firehouse into an arts and education center.

Theatre-goers are also invited to attend the Dietrich Children’s Theatre’s other performances at The Gathering Place, including “Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories” on Saturday, April 25, at 1 p.m. and “Lon Po Po: A Red Riding Hood Story from China” on Saturday, May 9, at 1 p.m.

This project was supported by a Lackawanna County Community Arts and Culture Grant, a program of Lackawanna County Commissioners Corey D. O’Brien, Jim Wansacz and Patrick M. O’Malley.

Tickets for “Balto: A True Story of the Bravest Dog in America” are free and will be available at the door while they last.

Seating is first come, first served. Call 570945-8453 for more information.

ABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITOR

In what has become an annual tradition for Clarks Summit’s “everything” store, Everything Natural, 426 S. State St., will host an Earth Day open house this Saturday, April 18, from noon to 3 p.m.

This year’s event will feature several store-based “projects,” including a community pledge board featuring “Earth Day leaves” and a grocery project, both designed to teach the community about how to properly care for the planet and the environment.

“Inviting our environmental partners was a natural fit,” said staff member Ryan Makinson. “We support each other all year long, so why not make a special event to celebrate Earth Day?” Proceeds from the Earth Day donation leave project will benefit the Countryside Conservancy, while the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary and the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter will also be on-hand throughout the day to discuss how they keep

the area “green.”

As part of the grocery project, students from the Howard Gardner Charter School will decorate upcycled, reusable grocery bags with environmental messages.

“As Barry Kaplan is famous for saying, Everything Natural is not just a store, we’re a community resource,” Makinson said. “People know and trust that our store will emphasize sustainable lifestyles that harmonize with the environment, both locally and globally.”

Throughout the day, open house guests will get the chance to sample a farm-totable lunch featuring Wild for Salmon and Donna Vannon, the chef at Terra Preta restaurant in downtown Scranton.

Additional events planned will include live music by Tom Rogo from 1-3 p.m. and a mayoral proclamation from Clarks Summit Borough mayor Patty Lawler at 12:30 p.m.

Returning to Home Base

Lackawanna Trail’s Buck returns to her strength after two years

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

Kerrigan Buck will miss her days at Lackawanna Trail when she graduates in June.

But she will keep herself busy at Washington College, hoping to try out for the softball team as well as play field hockey for the Maryland school.

As if that wasn’t enough, Buck plans on pursuing a double major in chemistry and biology.

“I’m going to be very busy,” Buck said.

So for now, she’s going to enjoy her senior softball season with the Lady Lions and is being moved from first base back to her favorite position — third base. It’s the position she plays for the Northeast Stars, an area travel team, but she hasn’t played there for Lackawanna Trail the last two years as coach John Brander had moved her to first.

He knows some may question his sanity for doing so, fully understanding how it may look, but it’s a decision he truly believes in.

“In town ball, she played third, but then I needed her at first,” Brander said.

“She’s played there the last two years, and to be honest with you, who takes an allstar off her position? Nowhere else, but we need her there [at third]. I know she can handle it. In this case I think it’s going to work out. She was the best first baseman last year and this year I think she can be the best third baseman. She’s going to fit in nicely.”

Buck is eagerly anticipating getting back in the groove at third after a couple of seasons at first.

“I’m very excited to move back to third base,” Buck said. “It’s all reaction; there isn’t time to think about it, about what you have to do.”

Buck isn’t worried about charging bunts or having line shots coming at her as she nears home plate.

“I’m not scared of the ball, never have been,” Buck said.

Brander likes hearing that type of attitude from his third baseman, knowing oth-

ers may shy away from playing the position because of the threat of injury.

“She can handle all the hard-hit balls,” Brander said. “She’s pretty fearless over there, she’s not afraid to come in on a bunting situation; she trusts her glove.”

The infield has just catcher Mackenzie Duffy and shortstop Madison Lee at the same position as senior Kasey Buck, Kerrigan’s twin sister, takes over at first with freshman Allison Decker on the mound and senior Daria Lewandowski at second.

the hopes of making the team a contender for the Lackawanna League Division IV title as well as the District 2 Class A championship.

“Hopefully this will give us the best combination of players on the field,” Buck said. “It won’t be just one individual making the team better. Hopefully everything just clicks.”

Expectations are high for the Lady Lions and Brander hopes his third baseman can have another outstanding season for Lackawanna Trail, since she is the clean-

up hitter for the team.

“Right now she’s probably going to be batting out of the cleanup spot,” Brander said. “She has good power to the opposite field also; she can take that outside pitch and go with it.”

The better she hits and the more runs batted in she can produce will only help the team, which is relying on those things from Buck.

“I just get up there and do what I have to do,” Buck said. “I’m really excited about our chances this year.”

It seems just like yesterday that Buck was a freshman going out for the varsity team and part of her isn’t ready to see her high school days come to an end.

“It’s kind of upsetting because it’s our last chance at the district,” Buck said. “I’m really excited about the team this year.”

She was also nostalgic about her time at first base for the Lady Lions, but whatever sorrowful feelings she may have will be overcome by getting a final high school season at third.

“I don’t want to say it was easy, but it was kind of nice just catching the ball all the time,” the senior said. “I didn’t have to worry about too much. I really didn’t get too many [grounders].”

The senior will do whatever Brander asks of her and, for now, that’s playing well defensively at third base and producing offense from hitting fourth in the batting order. The ultimate goal is to win as many games as possible.

“We’re going to be competitive in every game we play. I’d like to think we’re going to be in the mix for the division title,” Brander said. “We know Montrose is going to be tough, and Mountain View will be OK. As far as districts go, we’re going to be right there. Old Forge lost quite a bit, Mountain View lost quite a bit also and we should be in the mix.”

Being in the hunt to end her final high school sports season with a spot in the state playoffs after winning a division title, Buck will juggle the good feelings that success will bring with the sadness of leaving high school behind.

School NewS

‘Teacher of the Year’

Sandra LaManna, a faculty specialist in the Education Department at The University of Scranton, was recently named Kappa Delta Pi Teacher of the Year by the university’s chapter of the international honor society in education. The Kappa Delta Pi Teacher of the Year award is presented annually to a University of Scranton faculty member selected by student members of the honor society.

A resident of Clarks Summit, LaManna has taught in the education department at the university since 2007. She, along with university colleagues and community partners, is currently leading a new effort to battle illiteracy called the National Reading Crisis Project, which will be developed in the northeastern region of Pennsylvania over a three-year period then extended to other counties in the state. The initiative uses a multifaceted approach to engage health-care professionals, educators, families and community agencies around the problem of illiteracy.

LaManna also taught at Keystone College, Marywood University, King’s College and Wilkes University. She was also a 30-year employee of the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and runs a private business that offers psychological evaluations and staff development for educators.

LaManna earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education, a master’s degree in reading education and a school psychologist specialist certificate from Marywood University. She completed post-graduate work at Lehigh University and is a certified school psychologist. She also holds an elementary principal certificate from The University of Scranton and a school neuropsychologist certificate from Texas Woman’s College in Denton, Texas.
