Horse of many COLORS

Area artists collaborate on mosaic for non-profit BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

group of young artists crafted a sculpture for Marley’s Mission using objects that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. The group built a replica of a galloping horse using an array of colorful bottle caps, a few screws and some particle board. Marley’s Mission, a nonprofit organization, provides Equine-Assisted therapy at no cost to children and families who have experienced trauma. Diana Lombardi, owner of the Abington Art Studio in Clarks Summit spearheaded the project after Marley’s Mission Vice President Rebecca Haggerty approached her about collaborating on artwork for the charity’s new headquarters. “We came up with the idea to collaborate and create a large-scale mosaic horse,” Lombardi said. Haggerty said she was drawn toward working with

Lombardi because of her studio’s commitment to sustainable art, a commitment that the charity shares. “Marley’s Mission is a wonderful example of offering an alternative way to treat trauma victims,” Lombardi said. “I compare it somewhat to art therapy in that you offer children a connectivity to a non-human source, offering them the ability to heal at their own pace through the therapeutic experience of caring for horses.” The group of about 30 artists, comprised of Art Studio students and children associated with the nonprofit, met four consecutive Saturdays, painstakingly putting the pieces together. The horse is an assemblage of hundreds of caps from detergent bottles, water bottles and other plastic containers arranged on particle board the shape of a galloping horse. In many cases smaller bottle caps are placed within larger bottle caps to

CLARKS SUMMIT- Clarks Summit Borough council heard a presentation from Abington Regional Wastewater Authority officials ahead of a vote on whether the borough will back financing for the authority’s upcoming construction project. Wayne Miller and Stephen Evers, of the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority, updated council on the status of the authority’s work to secure funding and contractors for the project. The upgrades are necessary for the authority’s facilities to comply with new federal mandates, Miller said. Evers said a municipal guarantee from member municipalities Clarks Summit and Clarks Green borough and South Abington Township, would save the authority, and ultimately its customers, about $ 4 million. The funding package also includes a $1 million grant and low-interest $10 million loan from the state, he added. “We’re doing our best to keep the rates low,” Evers said. The municipal guarantee, if approved, would put Clarks Summit on the financial hook should the authority default on its loan payments.

A replica of a galloping horse, shown, will be on display at the Marley’s Mission headquarters in Newton Township. Artist Diana Lombardi spearheaded the project, which repurposed bottle caps and took approximately 10 hours.

EDITOR’S NOTE Information was incorrect in a story about Marley’s Mission, a non-profit organization that provides equine-assisted therapy at no cost to children and families who have experienced trauma. Denise Burne Fein used proceeds from the sale of a parcel of land in South Abington Township that belonged to her late brother Matt, as a down payment for land on Port Royal Road in Newton Township that will become the new home for the non-profit. Later she donated funds needed to complete the purchase of the 32.4-acre property, which was land from a 100-year-old family farm sold at a reduced cost to Marley’s Mission by Keith Eckel. We regret the error.

Stories through pictures, words

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

o day is typical for cartoonist, illustrator and writer, Mark Schultz, Clarks Summit. Some days Schultz spends his entire day writing and some days drawing and some days writing and drawing, depending on what he needs to get done. “I’m a late riser, so a couple cups of coffee gets me working by 11 a.m. or noon,” said Schultz. “And I usually work straight through until around 9 p.m., with a break to take a long walk or some other exercise.” What does Shultz enjoy most about his career? The bottom line is he gets to tell stories. He also likes the personal freedom and that he draws the kinds of adventurous subject matter he personally enjoys. He said, “In comics’ storytelling, the ideal is to have a perfect balance between words and pictures. The words and pictures need to complement each other, not duplicate information-both are needed to tell the complete story. This is what makes comics a unique art form, totally different from any other. If you like stories, and you like to both write and draw, a career in comics may be for you. Schultz started his career right out of college, illustrating local work in the Lehigh Valley area. “I moved into what I really wanted to do: cartooning/storytelling nine years later,” said Schultz, who developed his Xenozoic Tales property over several years, in his spare time. “I presented my first Xenozoic story as a sample ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

Illustrator and writer, Mark Schultz, of Clarks Summit.

of my work to several major comics’ publishers. Kitchen Sink Press liked the concept, gave me my big break, first introducing me and Xenozoic in an anthology magazine and then several months later debuting Xenozoic Tales as its own comic magazine.” Schultz said his work is considered “classic” or “old school,’’ but he noted, “I take classic subject matter and try to give it a contemporary twist--but to keep the art and story timeless.” As an illustrator, some of the publications he has to his credit are Xenozoic Tales, Various Drawing collections, Robert E. Howard’s Conan of Cimmeria, numerous covers and as a writer: The Stuff of Life, Superman and Prince Valiant. Comic Industry awards he has won are five Harvey Awards, two Eisners and three Haxturs. He is currently working on the illustrations for a novella he wrote, “Storms at Sea,” and his goal is to get that done. “It’s been a long time in the making, and then on to a new Xenozoic story.” For anyone considering a career as a cartoonist, illustrator and writer, Schultz offered this advice. “Study drawing! And learn storytelling! It’s so important to get the fundamental skills down in any art. Once you are grounded, you can have fun and develop your own style and ideas.” To learn more about Schultz, visit him online on Facebook or at fleskpublications.com.

Thrill of a chase

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

Adam Weitzenkorn, 28, owner of New Visions Studio and Gallery in Scranton, has enjoyed collecting and reading comic books for as long as he can remember. He said when he was in middle school he often practiced drawing by copying the covers from his collection. “I would enjoy the comics so much,” he said, “I would want to recreate them.” ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTOS/ ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER

Adam Weitzenkorn, owner, New Visions Studio and Gallery, Scranton, displays one of his paintings in progress. He often draws inspiration for his artwork from his collection of comic books.

He added that he still finds inspiration in comic books for his various artistic outlets, such as painting and even designing advertisement flyers for music shows at his gallery. New Visions offers a small selection of comic books and collectibles for sale, and Weitzenkorn also continues to keep his private collection, which he estimated now contains well over 1,000 books. He said one of the aspects he enjoys most about comic books is the characters, and his favorites are the ones he can relate to most. He pointed out that when a character, whether he or she is a hero or villain, is more “human” than “super,” or can at least relate to humans in some way, it makes the story more real, more believable. Sometimes, however, what

he enjoys most about a book is simply the pictures and the artwork. “What makes a comic book good,” he said, “is a blend of the art and the story.” He said comic books make a great hobby for someone who hates to read but wants to read at the same time, as the pictures are really what draws the reader—or viewer— into the story, and keep him or her wanting more. His advice to new comic fans looking to build their collections is to start off buying as many of the older and more popular books they can find at flea markets, comic shops and conventions. “If you’re going to start, buy a bunch of inexpensive ones,” he said, adding that everyone needs to figure out for themselves what they like and dislike and who their favorite characters are. And part of the fun, he said, is “the thrill of the chase”—finding that $200 book at a yard sale for $2, or discovering a new favorite character for the first time.

New Visions Studio and Gallery, 201 Vine St., Scranton, sells comic books and memorabilia.

ADAM’S FAVORITES Comic: “Evil Ernie” by Chaos

MY OPINION

BY MARIAH MANCUSO My hero is an author, her name is Megan McDonald. She writes about a character Judy Moody and her adventures. Her books are very funny. One of my favorite books is “Judy Moody Goes to College.” If I’m having a bad day I know I can pick up one of her books and it will cheer me up. Megan McDonald really inspires me to write. If you read about Judy Moody, Megan McDonald may become your hero, too. Mariah Mancuso is a third grade student at St. Mary’s of Mount Carmel School in Dunmore.

Continued from Page 1 The authority will disclose more financing and contract information within a month if all goes as planned, Evers said. In other business, a representative from Berkheimer Tax Administrator, Jim Hunt, spoke to council regarding the recovery of Clarks Summit tax monies from Centax/Don Wilkinson Agency, which went out of business last year. The borough is expected to receive money when the dust settles, but for now how much they will receive is unclear. “I do not expect [the money recovered] to be significant,” Hunt said. Centax/Don Wilkinson collected taxes for the borough and many other municipalities in Lackawanna, Luzerne and other countries. There is question about the accuracy and completeness of its tax files, Hunt said. Berkheimer has been appointed to take over the files and sort out the morass. In many cases, checks from taxpayers were never cashed and many 2011 tax returns never processed. Hunt said Berkheimer would work out these problems with and notify any affected taxpayers. “The bottom line is that the records were all goofed up, and I don’t know if we’ll ever get this straightened out,” said councilmember Herman Johnson. Hunt said more details will come to light in July, and council requested that he return then for an update. In other business, council announced that it was able to purchase four scales for weighing trucks using a $19,987 state grant. The scales will be used to weigh trucks traveling through the borough to make sure they are in compliance with and cite those that don’t meet requirements. Heavy truck traffic passes through South State Street, which is part of U.S. Routes 6 and 11. “Because we didn’t know whether we were getting this or not, we did not include in our income part of our budget money from the fines for the violation,” Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe said. “That’s money we didn’t bank on.” Herman Johnson said he wanted to council to divert some of the new revenue to the police department. “I would like to see that maybe we could put some in the general fund, and maybe some money in the police fund for training and equipment,” Johnson said. In other business, the council is set to vote on whether to approve preliminary plans for construction of a CVS at the intersection of State Street and Winola Road. Council reviewed blueprints at the meeting and aims to vote on whether to approve the store at its next meeting. Final plans are expected in about a year, according to Kehoe.

Talent show to promote kindness BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

More than 160,000 students miss school a year from issues relating to bullying. According to Kathleen M. Walsh, Parents Loving Children Through Autism Foundation founder and president, each year millions of children and youth experience the humiliation and devastating effects of bullying. Organizers of the “Raise Your Voice Talent Show 4” are working toward building a kinder world with their theme for this year’s talent show, “Spread Kindness. Love is Contagious.” “The concept is to have students from many schools coming together for a single cause,” she said. Their message will be heard loud and clear as they sing, play instruments and dance. “We have everything from Taylor Swift to Beatles,” said Walsh of the talent show Feb. 9, Riverside Junior/ Senior High School, Taylor, 7 to 9:30 p.m. A special tribute to Rachel’s Challenge in honor of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine School shooting, will be performed by Mid-Valley and Dunmore FOR clubs. Rachel’s Challenge is a nonprofit, non-political, non-religious organization based in Littleton, Colo. “This is our 4th Annual

Show,” said Walsh. “The show was created by juniors from Abington Heights High School, Chelsea Maloney and John Milliken, as their senior project in 2009 and funded by Parents Loving Children Through Autism and generous sponsors.” Walsh added that Marquis Ivy, Chloe Maloney, and now Samantha Milliken, all Abington area residents, have continued to lead the show with amazing performers including approximately 20

students from the elementary to college level set to perform. Caelan Baden, Taylor, a fourth grade student is one of the younger students to return to the stage this year. Samantha Milliken, 22, Clarks Summit, along with D.J. Mike Walton will host the show. Milliken said, “I hope that the show teaches about the effects of bullying and hopefully it will change students’ perspective on bullying in the future.” Last year she designed a slide show that was presented at the Right to Education Task Force. The show is funded through the Parents Loving Children Through Autism Foundation and “generous sponsors in the community.” A bake sale, information regarding bullying issues, wrist bands and T-shirts will be available in the lobby and there will be giveaways between songs to keep the audience involved. Tickets for Raise Your Voice Talent Show 4 are $5 for adults and $3 for students. All proceeds will fund educational programs to teach compassion, kindness and tolerance. Donations can be made to Raise Your Voice 4, 1243 Wyoming Ave., 3rd Floor, Scranton, PA 18509 and checks should be made payable to PLCTA. For more information, contact Kathleen Walsh at 570.650.5485.

Three Clarks Summit sisters created a nail polish line, “Tillie,” and named it using letters borrowed from their last name, Matillano. Available online through their web site, their polish is 4-Free, which they explained as manufactured without the chemicals found in other brands of nail polish: formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate).

SHADES of play BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

n this case, “I’m a Mermaid,” “Pool Boy,” Bows & Bandeaus,” “Sarong So Right” and “Beach Babe” are not phrases associated with a trip to an exotic resort. They are, however, monikers given to five bottles of nail polish shades designed by three sisters who reside in Clarks Summit. One trait the Matillano sisters surely have in common is an obsession with nail polish. They are so taken with the glamour product that it’s safe to say they have in excess of 100 bottles in each of their vast collections. In November 2012, the sisters, Andrea, 23, Amber, 22 and Alexa, 16, introduced their own line of nail polish, “Snowy Getaway,” with shades, “Hot Stone Massage,” “My Favorite Sweater,” “Weekend Rendezvous,” “Pining for You” and “Lodge at the Lake.” And Feb. 15, when their spring line is released, their fans will have an opportunity to try out their latest collection, “Spring Break,” which they said evokes a “fun, beachy theme.” “We all love nail polish and we’ve kind of obsessed with it,” said the eldest of the young entrepreneurs. “Over the last year or two, we really got into collecting it.”

Clarks Summit sisters create ‘luxury you can afford’

The polish line, “Tillie,” using letters borrowed from their last name, Matillano, is currently available online through their web site, but they are also looking into venues locally to sell their wares. “Nail polish is a luxury you can afford. You might not be able to afford a new pair of shoes, but you can get a nail polish. Every time we go out, we see a new one (shade) and we want them all,” she added.

A bottle of their polish sells for $8, and their collection consists of five colors for each season, reflecting the sisters’ individual tastes. “We wanted the nail polish to be trendy. You have to predict the nail trends,” she said. “Once we got the first line done, there was a sense of relief. When we started working on our spring collection it was a little easier,” she said, and

Clarks Summit sisters Amber, 22, Andrea, 23 and Alexa 16, Matillano plan to introduce a new line of nail polish for every season, approximately every three months.

Grammys to include work of area teacher, photojournalist Students in Jim Gavenus’ “Photojournalism” class at Luzerne County Community College may turn on the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and see his work on their TV screens. Photographs of legendary “Doc” Watson, made by Gavenus, Kingston native, will be included in the “In Memoriam” clip and still package during the show, which will be broadcast live Feb. 10 on CBS. “To many, Doc was their influence in music, to me he was much more, he was a friend,” said Gavenus, an internationally- recognized documentary photographer who first met Watson 12 years ago in Wilkesboro, N.C. A Grammy-viewing party will be hosted at Hops & Barleys, 131 Main St., Luzerne, beginning at 8 p.m. the evening of the broadcast. Projects by Gavenus that focus on the human condition, social injustice and civil rights have won accolades, including the Gordon Parks Documentary Photographer of the Year Award. He has worked with nearly 50 Hall of Fame musicians and his images were selected to honor Watson Photographs of legendary “Doc” and Earl Scruggs in the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame.

How many Oscar nominations has "Django Unchained" received?

Ragtime music helped define the time in American History leading up to World War I. Last Sunday, we went to WVIA’s Media Center to experience rags from this time period through the1990s. Narrating the rise and revival of this enduring musical style, Dr. Gary Boerckel, pianist and WVIA radio host of “Music to My Ears” allowed us to explore the music of Scott Joplin, Zez Confrey, Joe Jordan and other ragtime greats. Soprano Bernadette Boerckel sang along to tunes including “A Bird in a Gilded Cage” and “Rings on My Fingers.” I especially enjoyed how Dr. Boerckel’s commentary related so much to our selection for Wyoming County Reads – “Ragtime” by E.L. Doctorow. He even played “Wall Street Rag” which is the song that Coalhouse Walker Jr. played on Mother and Father’s piano in the novel! We are grateful to WVIA for hosting this event and putting us in touch with the Boerckels. WVIA is such a valuable resource to our area. This program was made possible by the Apple Wagon Antique Mall, Ron and Sandy Vieczorek and a sponsorship made in honor of the Rampola and Kozloski families. Our next event for Wyoming County Reads is tonight. Join us for our first of four book discussions on E.L. Doctorow’s acclaimed novel at the Tunkhannock Public Library. Facilitated by local scholar Bill Chapla, these discussions will be held on Wednesdays, Feb. 6, 13, 20 and 27 at 7 p.m. Tonight we will discuss, plot, setting, characters and more. Admission is free and light refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there. If you are more interested in film, we encourage you to join us for "Ragtime" the movie Wednesday, March 6 at 2 and 7 p.m. at the Dietrich Theater. Admission is free. As a fan of Downton Abbey, I can’t wait to see Elizabeth McGovern in her role as Evelyn Nesbitt in this acclaimed film from1981, which also stars James Cagney. Speaking of films, in February the Dietrich will feature dance films and dance lessons. Come view the films “The Tango Lesson” Sunday, Feb.10, “Singin’ in the Rain” Feb.17 and “Shall We Dance” Feb. 24. After each film, there will be a dance lesson at Father Nallin Hall (across the street from the theater) taught by local dance instructors. Admission is just $10 per movie-lesson combo and no experience is required. We invite pairs and singles. This series has been sponsored by NEPA Tango in the Tent. For tickets, please call us at 570.996.1500. In February, the Dietrich will also be presenting classes and workshops. This Thursday night we will be starting up an Introduction to Felting class with instructor Emily Rancier. During this series, we will learn the basics of wet felting as we create

Among them are: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atomic Ranch: Midcentury Interiors,â&#x20AC;? by Michelle Gringeri-Brown. From New York to California and various places in between, the author found eight examples of ranch house interiors, homes that ranged from split-level, rambler, traditional ranch, or modernist. Homeowners of the featured homes share tips on color, flooring, window coverings, furniture arrangements, and more, and relate their experiences turning boring living spaces into stylish yet workable family homes. Full-color photography throughout the book is by Jim Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kathryn M. Ireland Timeless Interiors,â&#x20AC;? by Kathryn M. Ireland. The spaces photographed for this book demonstrate that decorator/fabric designer Ireland creates rooms that are inviting, livable, original, appealing and colorful, combining her reverence for tradition with a spirit of reinterpretation. Take a virtual tour of some of the homes she has decorated, from a 1960s beach house in Malibu, California, to a grand 19th century manor on the coast of Normandy, France through page after page of large-scale, fullcolor photographs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Passion for Primitives: Folk DĂŠcor for Interior Design,â&#x20AC;? by Franklin Schmidt. Here again is a photographic tour of private homes throughout the United States, ranging from country simple to modern. The furnishings, accent pieces, rustic architectural and structural elements, and displays of country collectibles and folk art celebrate Americana. The book is a guide to designing with primitives and a tool for both decorators and homeowners alike.

WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF

If you were to become injured as a result of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligence, you should make every effort to consult with an attorney with expertise in personal injury law. It is important to act quickly to effectively put the law on your side. Tort (wrongdoing) cases require that the circumstances surrounding the case be investigated quickly and thoroughly so that witnessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statements and evidence can be comprehensively collected and preserved. The primary focus in cases involving tort liability is on marshaling the facts, advocating effectively, and employing appropriate strategy. As a plaintiff, you can put all these factors on your side with little expenditure of your own since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingent-fee basis. If you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been harmed by someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligence and want to talk to a lawyer, please call me. I am Amil M. Minora and I have spent years dealing with all aspects of personal injury law. That means that I can provide you with the representation that you need to get the money that you deserve. And remember, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to take these cases on a contingency basis, which means you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay until you win. Please call (570) 961-1616 to schedule a free initial appointment to discuss the merits of your case. My address is 700 Vine St., Scranton. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to help. www.minorakrowiak.com HINT: The longer you wait to consult with an attorney about the viability of your personal injury case, the more likely it is for witnessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; memories to lapse and evidence to disperse.

Waverly Elementary and found artist Mary Ellen Croteau, who used thousands of plastic bottle caps in an enormous mosaic fashion,” Lombardi said. “I discovered there were very few areas in which these caps were recycled due to the different temperatures the bottles and caps melt at.” Lombardi started adding sustainable art projects into her lessons at an after school program at Waverly Elementary School and her art studio, including the creation of smaller mosaics using bottle caps. The group collected bottle caps from all over the Abingtons, especially schools. “St. Gregory’s Kindergarten class took it to the extreme, collecting a huge box full to the top of caps the children and their families collected for us,” Lombardi said. Local businesses chipped in to help. The Refill Station and Bunnell Hardware were especially helpful, Lombardi added. The rainbow horse has special resonance for Marley’s Mission, according to Haggerty. “The kids naturally started to make the horse with the colors of the rainbow,” she said. The rainbow, for Marley’s Mission, is “very symbolic.” Gene Talerico, president of the charity, is known for donning a

rainbow tie, including wearing it for a photo spread in Happenings Magazine for its feature on local heads of charities and in San Diego for the Stay Classy awards, she said. The rainbow signifies the diversity of the children who enter the doors of the Mission, she added. “We see all kinds of kids— lots of different backgrounds,” Haggerty said. At Marley’s Mission, the children don’t ride the horses; rather the horses act as metaphors for a child’s feelings, Haggerty said. “People know that horses and animals can be really therapeutic for children who have experienced trauma,” Haggerty said. “The children don’t ride horses. We use horses as a metaphor, a mirror of how the child feels and also a voice for the child.”

The therapy is to help children for whom traditional therapy has not worked. Marley’s Mission’s ultimate goal is to get the children back into traditional therapy after having a breakthrough with the horses. “We’re that place where you go to break through that barrier...a tool to help when a child hits a stumbling block,” Haggerty said. “Our goal is to transition a child out.” Haggerty added that each session is conducted by an equine specialist, who handles the horses and a trained therapist, but how the each session unfolds is up to the child. “It’s very directed by the child,” she said. The new location on Port Royal Road, Newton, is expected to be fully operational by early July. The mission will have six therapy rooms, as well as conference rooms, to accommodate the charity’s growth. The past year saw a 42 percent increase in the number of session hours, according to Haggerty. The community is invited to join members of The Marley’s Mission Board of Directors at the Third Annual Blue Ribbon Gala Feb. 16 at The Hilton Hotel and Conference Center in Scranton.

C.G. clock project underway The Borough of Clarks Green will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014. In a unique way of combining the Borough’s past and anticipating the future it was determined that an appropriate means to mark the occasion would be with a town clock. The Clarks Green 2014 Clock Project has been formed to initiate the project and help raise the necessary funds. The decision was made that a classic Victorian street clock would meet several goals: * represent the classic and

unique small-town charm of Clarks Green * be easily maintained and last for generations * be financially feasible, achieve maximum impact at a nominal cost, and not be an expense to the Borough * invite and honor the participation of Clarks Green’s residents * memorialize family members and acknowledge businesses supporting the Borough With the centennial being marked in May 2014, the Clock Project is embarking on

a yearlong fund-raising campaign that will ultimately pay for the $20,000 purchase of the clock so that no tax dollars will be used. In addition, monies raised will be used for upkeep and maintenance of the clock. The campaign will consist of several sponsorship levels that may entitle the donor to select incentives, including a miniature pewter clock replica. Larger donations will receive permanent recognition on a bronze plaque affixed to the base of the actual town clock. All donors are invited to attend the clock unveiling at the Borough centennial celebration in 2014. For more information on the Clarks Green 2014 Clock Project, contact Gail E. Rees, Chair, at Pennstar Bank, 570.587.0505.

JERMYN - The town of Jermyn may be small in size, but its members’ service to the community knows no limit. On Feb. 9, a few of its residents will be recognized for volunteer work. The Jermyn Events Committee will host its 10th Annual Awards Dinner at St. Michael’s Hall. Three women will receive special awards for their services in the town: Robyn Smith, Volunteer of the Year Award; Jeanne Reeves Bell, Lifetime Achievement Award and Sheila McDermott Wilkes, Community Service Award. Smith, a Girl Scout leader who organized Girl Scout Troop #50440, which encompasses Jermyn, Mayfield, Carbondale and Dickson City said, “I feel like it’s not just me but the Girls Scouts and my co-leaders. If I get an idea, they enhance it.” The girl scouts volunteered with the Jermyn Shade Tree Commission. PennDOT planted trees on the corner of Washington Ave. and Rushbrook Street and scouts decorated them for Christmas using handmade cut-outs with the largest being a Christmas Card to the community. Smith and the scouts organized a new holiday tradition in Jermyn: the Jermyn Winter Light Parade. Originally from Greenfield Twp., Finch Hill area, Smith has

Wimmer noted that many lifelong friendships begin through the Gators program. “I swam for the Gators when I was younger and I still talk to the girls I was on the team with,” she said. “You start at such a young age group and then go all the way through high school together. The kids have a nice bond.” The age ranges for the youth swim league is 5 through 15. The Gators have been around since 1970, when Abington Heights High School was built. This year, the cost to join the team went up to $235 for the first member of a family due to rising insurance costs. The cost is $25 less for each additional swimmer from a family. Abington Gators president Don Weiland believes the youth swim league is a great asset to the community. “It’s something that keeps the kids off the streets and it’s a great sport,” he said.

11 points in the second quarter as the Classics stretched their lead to 36-16 at the half. “I think that because my teammates were scoring, I was getting better looks at the basket,” she said. “Everyone can score and everyone contributed. I think that is the true meaning of a team.” Scranton Prep held Abington Heights without a basket until Melanie Coles, who led the Lady Comets with seven points and 10 rebounds, made a lay-up with 5:37 remaining in the second quarter.

ways from his experiences with the Gators. “I’ve formed a lot of friendships and I enjoy the coaching and environment,” D.J. Weiland said. “It’s just a really good sport. It keeps you in shape and it’s a sport you can do all your life.” According to D.J. Weiland, the members of the team learn valuable lessons from their coach. “Coach Wimmer taught us that swimmers are thinkers,” he said. “She also teaches us sportsmanship and many other things. Wimmer also believes that the training the kids get as members of the Gators has been a factor in Abington Heights’ success in high school swimming. “Mary (Gromelski) does a great job with the high school team, but in order to have a good high school team you need a little foundation on the bottom, and I think the Gators provide that,” she said.

student sections and wanted to make a difference. “At a lot of the games I went to last year, other teams had mascots,” he said. “I thought, ‘why not us”” Gerrity’s favorite part of being the mascot is generating buzz for the team. “I get to pump everyone up and a bunch of little kids think its cool,” he said. “Getting to support the team is the biggest thing.” According to Gerrity, the mascot has been embraced schoolwide, especially with members of the basketball team. “Everyone on the team loves me,” he said. “They really seem to enjoy it.” The sophomore believes the mascot is a big advantage for the Comets. “Having a mascot helps boost school spirit and gets the crowd more energized during games,” he said. Gerrity has a few rituals that he performs each game. “After every quarter, however many points the team scores, I do that many pushups,” he said. “Also, I run on the floor during timeouts to fire up the crowd.” Gerrity, 16, is the son of Patty and Bill Gerrity and resides in Newton Twp. He is also a member of the football team, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Club and FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America).

moving the ball and distributing it well to each other.” According to Abington Heights head coach Vince Bucciarelli, the team wasn’t able to bounce back from the early onslaught. “We had an opportunity to hit a couple foul shots and only be down by maybe 8 or 10 instead of 14 or 16,” he said. “You don’t get many opportunities to get some shots off against their defense. A lot of things didn’t go our way in the first half and once you get down it’s tough to get the kids back up.” While he was happy to pick up the win, Macciocco was quick to point out the real meaning for the night: fighting cancer. “Everyone has been touched by it,” he said. “Both my parents passed away from different forms of cancer. It’s tough to see your parents deal with that and see them fade away. “It’s a great cause.”

Diocese plans Lenten Monday initiative According to the Diocese of Scranton, “In this Year of Faith, the Church invites us to renew our faith and rekindle our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ. One of the greatest ways to accept this invitation is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, given to us by Jesus to receive His healing love.”

The church encourages confession as a regular part of spiritual life, especially during the holy season of Lent, a time of reflection on baptism and repentance. Bishop Joseph C. Bambera has arranged for a Lenten initiative called “The Light Is On For You.” Every Monday evening

during Lent (Feb. 18, 25; March 4, 11, 18 and 25), each parish throughout the Diocese of Scranton will have their “lights on” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for confession so that “Catholics can come to or return to this incredible source of God’s grace, mercy and healing.” For details, visit www.dioceseofscranton.org
