FACTORYVILLE -Superintendent Matthew Rakauskas discussed the Naval Operational Support Center in Avoca at the Lackawanna Trail School Directors meeting March 11. “One of the programs that we have there amongst the Navy Reserves is the United States Sea Cadet Corps program,” said Rakauskas. “It’s a program where it’s an opportunity for young men and women in high school to get introduced to the Navy and participate in training events.” Commander Albert C. Seeman presented a letter of appreciation to Lackawanna Trail student Jericho Hendershot for his “dedication, superb leadership, military bearing and outstanding participation.” “The exemplary nature of your contributions clearly establish that you have adopted the Sea Cadet Corps values as a personal standard,” Seeman said to Hendershot. “Thank you for your outstanding dedication and distinguished professionalism.” In other business, student council president Logan Garrison said he is planning a conference to help create an atmosphere that allows students to feel more comfortable discussing issues with their principal, vice-principal and superintendent. He said that student advisors agreed to it. Garrison said the student council will fund the conference. In other business, Elementary Center Principal Tania Stoker offered a presentation

A passion for baking and a desire to feed the hungry, combined with generosity and hard work recently produced more than 200 loaves of bread for the St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen in Scranton. Abington Heights High School junior Sebastian Barry, along with the assistance of his grandfather, Carmell Santa Cruz, baked the bread in four sessions at Beta Bread, Clarks Summit for Barry’s senior project. They then delivered it to the kitchen, which provides more than 225 hot meals to those in need, free of charge every day. Barry said he decided on this particular project because of the local need among the poor for food and nutrition. He feels many people recognize the need to help the poor outside of their areas, while overlooking those in their own town or city. “There are a lot of people in Scranton desperately in need,” he said, “so I wanted to help the people around here.”

Newton shifts polling location

By KEvIN KEarNEy Abington Journal Correspondent

NEWTON TWP. - For the first time in 10 years, Newton Township residents will cast votes at the Municipal Building when the primary election rolls around May 21. The Lackawanna County Bureau of Elections has agreed to move the polling station from the Recreation Center back to the Municipal Building, Board of Supervisors Chairman Ronald Koldjeski said at the monthly meeting March 11. “We were told verbally and they’ll be sending us a letter, so it’s going to happen,” he said. The supervisors requested the move mainly due to safety issues, Koldjeski said. The recreation center is home to a daycare and a preschool, and the building is always very secure, the supervisor said. But on Election Day that changes, when the doors are open to anyone. “We have a lot of young children there,” Koldjeski said. So to be on the safe side, the supervisors decided to move the polling station back to its original location. Koldjeski noted the Municipal Building is wheelchair accessible, has plenty of room for voting machines and privacy, and has multiple exits. “It’s really nice. I’m happy that it’s coming back here,” he said. The township had moved the polling station 10 years ago to the recreation center because the center was looking for occupants, but now it is well occupied and the change can be made, Koldjeski said. In other news, the township has applied for a $10,000 grant to fix the floors and backboards at the recreation center. Once the work is done, the supervisors hope to rent out the court to basketball leagues. “Hopefully we can get some revenue

Summit Elementary. Regarding her retirement, which begins at the end of this school year, she has mixed feelings. “I’m going to miss the children and families that pass through. And I’m going to miss the people I work with,” Bartz said. Over the span of three decades, Bartz has seen much change in the school system. When 20 years ago, Clarks Summit Elementary School started the inclusion of special needs children in the districtshe recalled it was difficult to find resources to explain how to integrate the children. “We had a little boy who couldn’t speak and was not developmentally ready. He couldn’t dress himself or write. But because kindergarten children are the most nurturing, they mothered the boy. And by the end of the year he was able to speak in a full sentence,” Bartz explained. Bartz mentioned several reasons she knew she had a calling to teach young children. She said she is fascinated by watching young ones learn and seeing the light go on when they get it. “It’s so exciting to watch,” Bartz said, “seeing how fast they can grasp things. I love the teaching environment structure of the day, and I just love reading a story and teaching them sounds. It truly is exciting every day.”

An educator who makes a difference

Teacher of the Month Mary Alice Bartz

Clarks Summit Elementary School is different than most area schools in that it still offers half- day kindergarten as opposed to a full day. Bartz said their program is aggressive and very academic. It’s not all about play time. By the end of the year, the children have to write a four- page story with sentences they crafted themselves. “Thirty years ago, if children knew the letters of the alphabet, we sent them to first grade. Today, they’re coming into kindergarten having to already know the alphabet,” Bartz said. Within the span of a 34 -year career, Bartz has watched all kinds of children grow and has taught offspring of children who were

See TEACHER, Page 6A

When my son entered kindergarten at Clarks Summit Elementary School this year, we wrote the school to request Mrs. Bartz, who is retiring this year. Not only had I heard she was an amazing teacher from parents in his preschool, but I knew ﬁrsthand. She had been my teacher too. I was a member of the ﬁrst class that Mrs. Bartz (then Miss Morgan) ever taught. And now my son is in her last class. When I was in kindergarten at St Gregory’s I was a very shy child, pretty much not speaking to anyone. Miss Morgan never made a fuss about that and gave me chances to feel good about myself in ways that were comfortable to me-this had a huge impact on me. I remember her much as my son describes her to me—encouraging, funny, kind and consistent. As he transitions into “real” school I am glad he is doing so with a teacher who wants to know him as a person, who works with him from the point he is at, and who shows him that learning is fun. Kindergarten is half day, but the amount she manages to get done, including time spent individually with each child, is

remarkable. And the children realize the importance of this to the extent that their 5 and 6 -year -old minds can—they love her and trust her fully. She makes them laugh—I hear stories of her “calling” Mother Nature or Jack Frost on a banana someone brought in for a snack. She encourages them to be their best self—the sunny days they (hopefully) come home with are treasures. And her students have an impact on her as well—when I met with her for parent conferences she relayed a story to me about one of my sisters—she remembered a speciﬁc picture my sister drew 30 years ago. Amazing! I still have the card that Mrs. Bartz sent to me, and all members of her ﬁrst class, upon our high school graduation. That she thought to do that is another example of how she cares about her students so deeply. Even as a senior in high school, I realized how special that was. Mrs. Bartz is truly deserving of an article in your paper, especially as she retires this year. I am happy for her but so sad my younger two will not have her as their kindergarten teacher. Thank you, Sarah Dawgert

Entertaining hosts and robust recipes are all part of “The Ultimate Beer Dinner” class April 25. When alcohol dissipates during the cooking process “what you’re left with is the flavor,” said Chef Mike McCully. And he and Chef Peter Robinson provide plenty of that as well. As a team, McCully described their style of teaching as “kind of Bert and Ernie.” “We are truly the stars of the show,” he said. The Abington Area Community Classroom, a non-profit volunteer committee of the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board , is offering the class April 25, 6:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church kitchen, 300 School St., Clarks Summit, as part of its spring line up of “What’s Cooking?” adult education programs. The class is open to aspiring cooks of all levels . “They (participants) are able to take those recipes home and from watching us, they should be able to pick right up on it,” said McCully. Two of the three courses planned are Beer Braised Short

Ribs, Beer Crème Chiboust (Chiboust is a crème patisserie, or pastry cream) with roasted apricot honey and other surprises. Local beer will be used as a common thread in the three courses because of its versatility and the hearty flavor it lends. “Alcohol cooks off and what you’re left with is the flavor, and the flavor is what you’re after. Beer creates a really hearty flavor,” said McCully. McCully attended Paul Smith’s College, Brighton, N.Y., where he took part in a French Internship program. While in upstate New York also worked in a three-star Michelin rated restaurant. He is the executive chef at Carl Von Luger Steak and Seafood Restaurant, Scranton. Robinson attended culinary school in Bedfordshire, England and “worked all over the place in and around London,” including a pastry chef service for eight years. Currently, he works for US Foods. The fee for cooking classes is $45 and the classes are limited to 10, and the deadline to register is April 18. To register visit aacclass.org or call 570.563.2402 or 570.954.6650.

Surprise proposal reaches new heights

By Joan Mead-Matsui

Abington Journal Correspondent

On a hot summer day in 2005, Kerry Meyer wanted to lie on a beach, but unfortunately, in Elmira, N.Y., there was not one in sight. “It was so hot outside. All I wanted to do was lie on a beach, but we lived in Elmira…,” said Kerry. And Jim Cox had in the works other plans for their day together. She was 28 and he was 27. Following a long car ride, they arrived at Letchworth State Park, a scenic park in western New York with waterfalls and many hiking trails. Kerry thought, “I knew it. He’s going to take me hiking. He knows I don’t like to hike. The whole time he sees me huffing and puffing and angry. He giggles and smirks. That’s how he responds (to me)…Jim is a funny guy,” said Kerry. Upon their arrival, they went for a hike and then returned to the car to drive to another area within the state park. “I was asked to look in glove box – I think he asked me to look in the glove box for a map of the park, but that was just a ploy so I could find the tickets. I see two tickets for a hot air balloon ride, and now I feel bad because I had been so grouchy. Oh, he’s taking me on a hot air balloon ride and I’m scared of heights,” said Kerry. They grabbed a bite to eat and then Jim disappeared. “…He runs off,” she said. “Turns out, he went to call my dad to ask permission to ask me to marry him. We took a short walk down a gorge trail that overlooked the falls and that is where he proposed.” And, not surprisingly, she said yes. The hot air balloon ride went off without a hitch and afterward, they celebrated their engagement with a champagne toast. “He didn’t want me to back out of the hot air balloon ride because he knew I was scared of heights.” Jim said, “But even if the hot air balloon ride wasn’t going to work, because they are often canceled at the last minute due to weather, the scenery at the park was beautiful. The whole trip was great…,” said Jim. “I was trying to think of different ways to propose because it had been a long time in coming. Kerry was definitely anxious to get married.” He purchased her engagement ring in Philadelphia, where his sister

They had been dating for approximately four years. “I found a ring at Tiffany’s in Philadelphia (more than a four-hour drive each way from Elmira), so I actually drove there and back in one day (to pick up her ring).” They were married April 22, 2006 in Angola, N.Y. in a church where Jim served as an altar boy during his childhood. Their reception was held at a country club there. Prior to leaving for their honeymoon trip to Paradise Island the day after their wedding, they spent their wedding night in a presidential suite overlooking Niagara Falls. Although they went to high school together, they were not high school sweethearts. Kerry said, “I graduated in 1995, went to college, got a job, had my own apartment and lived life on my own. Jim graduated in 1997 and did the same thing. … We did not have any contact until that night in the summer of 2001 when we ran into each other at a bar. We needed to go off and experience things to make us who we are today.” Jim added, “I knew right away Kerry was special. Her whole personality and glow she had,” said Jim of his wife. Close to midnight on a snowy night on Oct. 28, 2011, they arrived at their new home in South Abington Township. Jim works as an air traffic controller and Kerry is a former advertising account executive and office manager, who has taken some time off to be at home with their three children: Ashley, 2, Katie, 3 and Matthew 5. “We are happy and laugh a lot. Most importantly, we wouldn’t change a thing,” said Kerry.

Luke Damiani pours a decade of coffee experience into each batch of coffee beans he produces at his Factoryville roasting lab. Damiani Coffee Roasters, tucked away on a rural stretch of Route 6, imports beans from around the world for roasting. Damiani, a Scranton resident and coffee devotee, roasts them for distribution locally and around the world. The beans, which are green and emit an earthy scent in their raw state, originate from places like Indonesia, Rwanda and Honduras, arriving in burlap sacks lined with a special material to keep the beans fresh. Twice a week, Damiani, 34, fires up a German-engineered Probat coffee roaster, a Smart-car-sized contraption that runs on liquid propane and heats up to hundreds of degrees. He loads the beans into a chute that leads to a spinning drum. Then, as if by some sort of alchemy, the machine transmutes the raw green seeds of the coffea plant into the fragrant dark brown kernels used to brew that familiar elixir coffee. “In the roasting process they (the beans) turn darker, they get bigger and the sugars start to caramelize,” Damiani said. The key to achieving the perfect roast is smelling and tasting the coffee beans by adding hot water to cups that contain grinds, a procedure called cupping. Damiani has rigorous quality assurance measures in place: He logs the temperature of each roast, around 400 degrees, using several thermometers and a computer program. “I roast, then I cup,” he said. “And then I make changes to my roasting based on what I’m tasting.” Damiani attempts to roast the beans until he brings out the “the best of what the coffee has to offer, but not any further.” One would imagine roasting coffee would be an aromatic delight, but the smell produced isn’t the same as the familiar fragrance of ground coffee. He

Luke Damiani’s coffee roaster in Factoryville spins and holds the beans as they roast at a temperature close to 400 degrees. described the scent as “sweet hay mixed with burning leaves; I like it.” The roastery operates out of a onestory structure, a former diner. Damiani remodeled the building and equipped it with roasting and brewing accoutrements, including a reverse osmosis filtration system—which can produce water with the mineral makeup of any water in the world—and a vintage La Marzocco GS 1 modified espresso machine. Damiani’s experience dates back to the early part of the last decade, when he and his father, both of northern New Jersey, opened Northern Light Espresso Bar in Scranton. “My dad was driving down Spruce Street one night and noticed a vacant storefront in the Scranton Life Building,” he said. Damiani’s father envisioned a cafe for the space and recruited his son, who was working at Hewlett-Packard in New Jersey at the time, to join him in the venture. “We kind of started something we had no experience in,” he said. But the father and son team soon found themselves immersed in cafe culture. Damiani traveled to Ithaca, N.Y., and purchased equipment and coffee and sought advice from Gimme Coffee, which has a

small chain of espresso bars in New York. Though he and his father no longer own the Northern Light—the shop was sold about six years ago—Damiani still works there on the side as a barista and manager. Damiani coffee roasters supplies the shop’s decaf espresso and house blend, and the shop sells Damiani’s brand of coffee beans on the shelf. In 2005 Damiani helped an Austrian woman set up her cafe in Vienna, spending several months learning about the Viennese cafe culture. The coffee aficionado said that episode allowed him to get the “European coffee experience.” Damiani’s roastery, established in 2011, sells roughly 600 pounds of coffee beans each month, but he hopes to boost his sales while maintaining high standards. “I want to be boutique,” he said. “But I also want to pay my bills.” He roasts five to 20 pounds per batch, and each roast takes about 12 or 13 minutes. The beans are packaged in 12- ounce brown bags branded with the roaster’s logo and come in six varieties. Damiani ships the beans anywhere in the world and stocks local shelves, including the Winola Market, Lake Winola; Caravia Fresh Foods, South Abington Twp. and Northern Light Espresso Bar, Scranton. He constantly rotates the stock on the shelves of his local vendors to make sure the freshest product is available, he said. He usually sells whole beans because he said grinding the beans during manufacturing detracts from the bouquet of flavors each blend produces. Before the beans get to Damiani, they’ve been handled by many people, and he feels a profound responsibility. “It’s up to me to realize their vision for the coffee,” he said. That’s exciting. It all comes down to me.” Coffee roasting is not a hobby or a nineto-five job for him. It’s a “way of life.” And no matter how much he learns, he can never learn everything. “Roasting is an art,” he said. “It’s like any other craft. You have to basically be consumed by it.”

Leah Ducato Rudolph, Abington Community Library director, and one of the organizers of “La Dolce Vita,” invites the public to celebrate spring in a sweet way at a taste of Italy program, March 23, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the library. “We wanted to make the event about sweet things, so we’re celebrating the sweet life in the spring with Italian cookies, cappuccino, cordials and Italian music.” Local establishments, friends and members will also provide finger foods including pizza, cheeses and other Italian delicacies, according to Rudolph. Past success with soirees at the library, including the exploring India and Germany programs have provided the impetus for La Dolce Vita. Ducato Rudolph said, “We decided last fall to do something on Germany, and this year, we realized there are a lot of Italian Americans in our area, let’s do Italy.” The original art of Signore Renzo Oliva and his wife, Juri Kim, Philadelphia, is also featured throughout the library, and Oliva and Kim will be on hand to meet and greet at the Library that night.

Lake Winola writer inspired by food

By ARiEllE KOVAlich Abington Journal Correspondent

A local resident has taken the popular pairing of dinner and a movie and turned this concept in an interactive blog. Mark Yuhas, 27, of Lake Winola, has created and developed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Flicks,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; where he displays his favorite recipes paired with a movie to complement each dish. After creation of the blog in October of 2012, Yuhas has featured dishes varying from mango stuffed French toast to fresh cut French fries to beef bourguignon. The essence of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Flicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is that it archives and displays recipes posted by Yuhas, which viewers are encouraged to try on their own, and then pairs them with a suggested movie to enjoy with a homemade dish. In addition to the recipe and a photo of the completed dish, a summary and trailer of each movie accompanies the blog post. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Flicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; explores some of Yuhasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favorite interests, which include writing, cooking and the art of filmmaking. Yuhas shared the origination of his love for cooking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been cooking since I was tall enough to see over the countertop.â&#x20AC;? Yuhas continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come from a family full of amazing home cooks, so being in the kitchen really came

natural to me.â&#x20AC;? Based off of the blogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, Yuhas was partially inspired by a movie for the idea to create a blog. Being an aspiring writer, Yuhas explored his options to allow himself to write about things he loves, and landed upon the idea of creating a blog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The writer Julie Powell came to mind, the woman who half of the movie â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Julie and Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was based on.â&#x20AC;? Yuhas added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It then came to my mind that like Julie, I could write about cooking.â&#x20AC;? With a general direction of his blog decided, Yuhas wanted to also add in another element by incorporating his love for film. Yuhas explained his logic behind combining food and movies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a bowl of popcorn to a tray of pizza on a Friday night with a movie rental, snacking and watching a movie go hand in hand.â&#x20AC;? Yuhas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to take that concept a step further and try and create a meal that was inspired in some way by one of my favorite films.â&#x20AC;? A few food and flick pairings featured on the blog include vodka sauce with pancetta and penne paired with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last Chance Harveyâ&#x20AC;? and French onion soup paired with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midnight in Paris.â&#x20AC;? Although â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Flicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is currently just a hobby for Yuhas, he explained how his

Out of all of the combinations he has created, Yuhas shared his personal favorite, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to say the pairing of the movie â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complicatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the French ham and cheese sandwich, a Croque Monsieur.â&#x20AC;?

Tandoor India, 540 Scranton Carbondale Highway Dickson City, aims to fill a void in the area restaurant landscape. Owner Manohar Singh choose to establish his business in Dickson City because of a few factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good environment with nice, friendly people,â&#x20AC;? he said. There are a lot of things near by, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to the (Viewmont) Mall. He added that business has been thriving at the location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have repeat customers and our growth of customers is increasing day by day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been satisfied, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any negative comments.â&#x20AC;? Singh assessed the market and took the views of the people and said he found there was a necessity for an Indian food in the area. There are no other Indian restaurants within a 10 mile radius. Singh added that the halal meat appeals to the Muslim population. Singh added that some items which are healthy are cooked in a clay oven. They include Saag Panner, chunks of homemade cheese in creamed spinach and fresh spices, as well as a Mixed Grill that contains chicken, lamb and shrimp. The restaurant, which opened Jan. 3, currently has 110 items on its menu, which is expected to be expanded soon. They are also planningto launch a website in the near future. For reservations, you can call the restaurant at 570.343.2700.

The arrival of a new preschool in the Clarks Summit area is creating a buzz in the community. Happiness Hive Learning Academy, located in Clarks Green, will be opening its doors to new students in September. Owners and operators of the school, Andrea Speicher and Nicole Severs, anxiously await the arrival of honey and bumble bees to their hive. After more than a year in the works, Happiness Hive Learning Academy is inviting students into the classroom. Although the hive is located within Clarks Green United Methodist church premises, it is privately owned and run solely by the two teachers. Severs, 35, of Clarks Summit, is one of the two â&#x20AC;&#x153;bee keepersâ&#x20AC;? at the preschool. Formerly a kindergarten/1st grade and 4/5th grade learning support teacher, Severs more recently took time away from the classroom as a stayat-home mother of her two (soon to be three) children . After dreaming about owning a preschool, Severs first returned to the classroom as a student, where she recently started toward earning her Early Childhood Education Certification. While taking some time off, Severs was also able to become an Advanced Signing Time instructor. With the experience gained from being a teacher, Severs contributed some creativity toward picking a name and theme for the preschool. Severs commented on the story behind the name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would always tell my students that bumble bees shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to fly with

Severs continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we want to focus on what the children can do as opposed to what they cannot do, just like a bumble bee.â&#x20AC;? Speicher, 34, of Crystal Lake, is the second beekeeper of the Hive. After spending time in the classroom as a first grade teacher in New Jersey, Speicher also stepped out of the classroom to care for her two young children. Although she was away from the classroom environment, Speicher continued her education and is currently working toward earning her Graduate Certificate of Family Literacy. The combination of experience both teachers brings to the Hive allows for a blend of teaching skills available for the students, as Speicher explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both have experience working with young kids and with young kids with special needs.â&#x20AC;? Speicher added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As mothers of preschool age kids, we feel that is something

Waverly police to heighten community presence

By Brittney Pierce Abington Journal Correspondent

WAVERLY - Police Chief Kenneth James explained at The March 11 Waverly Township that the police force is making its presence known in the community. After meeting with the Waverly Elementary School principal, the police plan to visit the school to acquaint students with members of the force. During the day, primarily when students arrive and are dismissed, James plans to drive by to familiarize students with the police car. A plan is in motion to replace the current disinfectant in the Waste Water Treatment Facility. The first step is replacing the chlorine gas currently being used with sodium hypochloride. The sodium hypochloride is a more concentrated substance with a 15 percent

solution, while the chlorine gas is a 100 percent solution. The proposed tank is four feet high with a containment chamber in case of overflow. The process, done correctly, will not change the amount of chlorine in the treatment system. The second step is to replace the shed the disinfectant tank is housed in, due to deterioration. The shed will need to be eight feet wide by ten feet high, with double doors to accommodate the 115 ton chlorine cylinders. Total price for the job is $4,000. Supervisor Thomas Durbin recommended the township approve the switch to sodium hypochloride. The motion to abandon the existing chlorine gas system and switch to a bulk sodium hypochloride fluid system was passed. A meeting March 12, with local firefighters and emergency responders, was planned, to

get their recommendations on safety measures for the new system. Personal protective equipment (PPE) will also need to be purchased. Frisbee golf enthusiasts can take advantage of the warmer weather using the township’s completed Frisbee golf course. Frisbee golf discs are being sold in the municipal building for $10. Community members shared complaints about Stevenson Road. Public Works director Thomas James began work on Stevenson Road last week and will continue maintenance on it, “As soon as the weather breaks.” A new generator has been purchased as per a motion by Supervisor Dr. Douglas Klamp. The approved motion is for a 30 KW emergency generator from Friedman Electric Supply.

Boehm Jr. plans to retire from his position as president at Keystone College June 1 of this year. The upcoming Keystone Players’ production of Noel Coward’s comedy, Blithe Spirit, will be dedicated to he and his wife Regina.

The Keystone Players will open their latest production, “Blithe Spirit,” a comedy by Noel Coward, with a sold out performance March 22 in Keystone College’s Brooks Theatre. The evening is underwritten by an anonymous benefactor and dedicated to Keystone College President Dr. Ned Boehm, who plans to retire June 1, and First Lady Regina Boehm. It will conclude with a special presentation and reception in their honor. “My student actors and I wanted to thank the Boehms for their steadfast and enthusiastic support of The Keystone Players and theatre in general all these years,” said Jane Honchell, director. “Not only have the Boehms attended almost every production, but they also have been wonderful about sending notes of support to the cast, often accompanied by gift baskets of edible goodies, which the students always devour instantly.” Boehm confirmed his support of and pride in the Keystone Players, saying, “The student theatre has always played a critical role in the life of Keystone College. During our nearly 18 years on campus, Keystone First Lady Regina Boehm and I have been amazed at the talent and dedication of the Keystone Players, under the expert direction of Associate Professor Jane Honchell.” “In addition to entertaining and inspiring their audiences,” he continued, “The Keystone Players demonstrate time and again that excellence can indeed be obtained through desire and hard work. They are a great source of pride for the Keystone community and our entire area.” According to cast member and Keystone College graduate Brink Powell, who has performed in at least one Keystone Players production since joining as a freshman in 2007, the “Blithe Spirit” cast is one of the top two she’s worked with so far. She said the group “goes above and beyond” and succeeds in “making the play real.” She said she enjoys working with the rest of the cast, and is excited to play opposite Joseph Croft, with whom she first acted alongside when they were in a high school play at Lackawanna Trail. “everything he does he puts his all into,” she said. She said she also enjoys acting under the direction of Honchell. “Jane is a wonderful person,” she said. “I have learned so much from her…she’s understanding, teaches you so much and she encouraging.” In “Blithe Spirit,” Powell plays the part of Ruth, an overbearing wife who likes to have her own way

The play follows the unforgettable character Mame Dennis, a New york City gal who inherits a 10-year-old orphan boy after her brother’s death. Romping through the roaring ‘20s, failing spectacularly at jobs during the Great Depression, and embracing experimental views of a child’s education, she is no one’s idea of a role model except for

TRAIL Continued from Page 1A about updates and changes in the 2013-14 elementary curriculum guide and handbook to reflect transition from PA State Standards to the Common Core Standards. Updates included specialized area changes, such as specials (art, band, computer, library and PE); added detailed curriculum for grade levels; special education; gifted speech and language; learning support and made special education initiative extended to include Grade 5. She said that chaperoning has been occuring, but a policy was never stated in the handbook. “There are a variety of after school events that are held throughout the school year (concerts, PTO family fun night, dances, etc.)” said Stoker. “Elementary Center students are not permitted to attend these events alone. Instead, they must be chaperoned by an adult.” Stoker also explained that the handbook requires parents, who pick up their children after school, to have a laminated sticker with a number on it to put on their car window. This way, the school will know he or she is an authorized parent or grandparent. “For safety reasons, if the parent and guardian does not have their car pick-up number with them, they will have to enter the school building to sign their student out of school at the end of the day,” said Stoker. Stoker also mentioned that students must be signed out by a parent or guardian after detention or a field trip. In other news, School board member Joseph Strauch talked about approving advertising in the school’s gymnasium. “I would like to confirm that there is no groups or groups that are not allowed to advertise,” he said. Strauch asked the board members if they believe that they have to eliminate certain segments, groups or companies from being allowed to advertise. School board president Dr. Mark Lombardi replied that he is opposed to placing political ads in the gymnasium . “It doesn’t shine the light on the business that could be contributing or the student that is participating,” said Lombardi. Strauch was asked by a parent if placing a sign about a student is considered advertising. “Any advertising is advertising,” Strauch replied. Board member Dr. Michael Mould said to Strauch, “Advertising is one thing. Seeking patrons is another.” Strauch said that he supported the board’s decision. Lombardi ended the discussion, “We’re going to stand firm. There’s at least two very clearly worded statements within the policy that gives the superintendent, whether it’s Matt or some future superintendent, the right to make that (final decision). We want to be fair. We want to be consistent, and to that extent, I think we are.”

New titles of interest to teen patrons of the Abington Community Library can be found in the Young Adult section there this week. Look for: “Scarlet,” by Marissa Meyer. In this second volume of The Lunar Chronicles, Scarlet Benoit and Wolf, a street fighter who may have information about her missing grandmother, join forces with Cinder as they try to stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana in this story inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. “Under the Never Sky,” by Veronica Rossi. Aria and Perry, two teens from radically different societies – one highly advanced, the other primitive – hate being dependent on one another until they overcome their prejudices and fall in love, knowing they can’t stay together. “Every Day,” by David Levithan. Every morning A wakes in a different person’s body, a different person’s life, learning over the years to never get too attached, until he wakes up in the body of Justin and falls in love with Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. New titles in two popular ongoing series for middle grade girls were just added to the juvenile fiction collection this week. They are: “Emily Windsnap and the Land of the Midnight Sun,” by Liz Kessler. Book five in the series. Half-mermaids Emily Windsnap and Aaron are sent to explore the land of the

midnight sun, an icy world of mountains and glaciers, where they uncover a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined and King Neptune’s darkest secret. With double crosses at every turn in the plot, Emily and her friends must try to save Neptune before it is too late. “Wish You Were Eyre,” by Heather Vogel Frederick. As the Mother-Daughter Book club reads “Jane Eyre,” the girls and some of their mothers are involved in serious competitions. Becca finds romance when the Wyoming pen pals come for a visit; a wedding brings the British Berkeley brothers to Concord, Mass., and it’s a dream come true for Megan, who’s jetting to Paris for Fashion Week. Book six of the series. SATURDAY AFTERNOON STORY HOUR: Marywood University students will be on hand March 23 to present “Dr. Seuss on the Loose,” a read-aloud session featuring classic Dr. Seuss stories, complemented by activities and crafts.

Bixby. “Chaos and hilarity ensue,” states the release, “as Charles struggles to keep the peace between his second, and very much alive wife, Ruth, and Elvira.” “Adding to the fun are the Condomine’s guests at the séance, Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, played by Josh Harris and Karen McKenna. Edith the Condomine’s new maid, played by Jackie Nat, provides another delightful touch as she goes about her duties at warp speed.” McKenna, who is performing with the Keystone Players for the first time in this production, described her character as “ditsy” and “gullible.” “I’m just going to have a lot of fun with [the part],” she said, later adding, “It is a really, really fun play.”

The Abington Journal • Clarks Summit, PA

She said she also enjoys working with Honchell and the rest of the cast. “They are very talented,” she said. “I feel humbled by their talent.” McKenna, 52, hasn’t performed in over 30 years and said she is “very excited” about this production. She encourages others who have a past love for the theater and acting to pursue it and get involved in a local theatre. “It’s never too late to pursue something you love,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to try to do something new. It’s been an amazing experience for me.” A limited number of tickets for the show March 23 and 24 are available by contacting Honchell at jane.honchell@ keystone.edu or calling 945.8454. They will also be available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis. General admission is $8 and for senior citizens and children under 12, the cost is $4.

Keystone College President Dr. Edward G. Boehm Jr. will retire June 1, after 18 years at the college. He plans to then transition to the role of President Emeritus for the next year, continuing to serve the college in various duties on campus and in the community. “It has been a great privilege and honor to serve as Keystone’s president for nearly two decades,” Boehm said after making the announcement Aug. 31. “During that time, Keystone has grown from a junior college to one of the most respected baccalaureate institutions in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This phenomenal accomplishment is due to the talent and tremendous dedication of the entire Keystone family, including our students, faculty, staff and administration, supported by our

board of trustees, alumni and friends. “We have accomplished so much during this time, but most importantly, we have accomplished it together. Regina (Keystone First Lady Regina Boehm) and I will never forget your kindness, compassion and, most of all, your love of Keystone College.” President and Mrs. Boehm are leaders in the community, taking active roles in civic and community organizations, such as: The United Way of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania Association of Nonproﬁt Organizations (PANO), the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute Advisory Board, Tyler Memorial Hospital and others.

If divorcing spouses have reason to believe that their counterparts are being less than forthcoming about financial matters, the legal process of “discovery” can be used to force reluctant spouses to turn over records and statements. This formal information-gathering process is the part of a lawsuit that enables spouses and their lawyers to send papers to one another asking for pertinent information. The process of discovery can also involve taking “depositions,” which includes asking and answering questions orally. Because the process of discovery can be time-consuming and expensive, each side in a divorce case is urged to be financially responsible. Otherwise, a divorcing spouse engaged in “waste dissipation” may end up with less property than the other. Divorce is a complicated issue, one that deals with financial and emotional concerns. That’s why you need to call my office. My name is Amil M. Minora and I have years of experience dealing with all aspects of divorce. That means I can provide you with the legal acumen you want and the compassion that you need during this difficult time.

Barry said. “Without Beta Bread and Mike’s generosity, I wouldn’t have even thought about doing it.” Although he’s now finished with the project, he hopes to do it again in the near future, and even expand on the idea, inviting more people to get involved. His favorite part of the project is seeing the appreciation on the faces of the people at the kitchen when delivering the bread. “It makes my day,” he said. Beta Bread, Clarks Summit, offers eight varieties of bread, in addition to seasonal breads throughout the year.

ALLENTOWN – Abington Heights High School faced down pressure from Imhotep Charter in the front court for most of the first three quarters in the March 15 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AAA boys basketball state quarterfinal. When the Panthers extended that pressure into the back court, they finally took control, leaving themselves within two wins of a third straight state title with a 61-50 victory. The loss ended the season for Abington Heights, the Lackawanna League Division 1 and District 2 Class AAA champion, at 27-3. “We thought we’d have a good season, but I never thought we’d have 27 wins,” Abington Heights coach Ken Bianchi said. The Comets scored the first six points and maintained the lead for more than 19 minutes. They fell behind for the first time midway through the third quarter, but still took a 43-42 lead into the fourth quarter. Imhotep Charter scored the first 10 points of the fourth quarter – with the help of its full-court pressure – then coasted down the stretch as it held the ball, giving Abington Heights trouble simply catching up to commit fouls. “I’m proud of the effort,” Bianchi said. “The effort was there, the execution wasn’t. “We worked on the press all day (Thursday). I thought we’d do better. You can’t just give the ball back to them and say, ‘here, try again’.” The pressure looked a little different coming from a fast team with three starters 6-6 or bigger and a steady rotation of nine players. “We did all right until the third quarter when they put that pressure on,” Bianchi said. “We worked on it, but we didn’t work on it against 6-6 or 6-7 guys.” The Comets committed 11 of their 16 turnovers in the second half. Brandon Austin, a 6-6 senior guard, led Imhotep Charter (26-5) with 18 points, eight rebounds and three steals. He also was largely responsible for the defensive work that limited Comets scoring leader J.C. Show to one field goal in

A.H. grad takes the mound for Lehigh Pitcher Mike Burke is in the starting rotation for the Lehigh University baseball team. Burke (Abington Heights) is a veteran right-hander for the Mountain Hawks. In his first two seasons, he worked in 23 games with five starts. The 6-foot junior picked up his first victory in his first start of this season when he worked 5.1 innings and got credit for a 4-1 victory over UNC-Wilmington. He gave up two hits, a run, walked two and struck out three. “Mike has good enough stuff to get people out and this year he has really trusted his defense and has relied on the movement that he has,” coach Sean Leary said. “He’s an unbelievably hard -working kid and an easy kid to embrace as a teammate and front-line pitcher.” The coach feels that Burke leads by example.

COLLEGE ROUNDUP With Bill Arsenault

“Mike has a tremendous amount of respect from his peers based on his work ethic and the kind of teammate he is,” Leary said. “He has that intangible that is very hard to find in kids. He understands what coaches want and follows what we are asking. He’s the kind of player we look to build our program around character wise.” INJURIES SLOW BRADY Junior Kayla Brady (Abington Heights) is listed as a utility player and that’s just what she’s been doing this season

In order to send the Abington Blaze 12-under Little League baseball team on the trip of a lifetime, donations are needed from members of the community. The team will play in a tournament along with 119 other teams in Cooperstown, N.Y. from Aug. 3-9, according to head coach Jeff Armbruster. Armbruster is looking for-

ward to the joy the players will experience. “I’m excited to see the kids participate in an event that is filled with camaraderie and competition,” he said. They will also get a lesson in baseball history when they visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. According to parent and lead fundraising organizer Anthony Abdalla, they are looking to raise $5,000 to $7,000 to fund expenses. That include costs for food and lodging, banners for their corporate sponsors and uniforms, buying pins for the boys to trade and practice T-shirts.

According to Abdalla, they have already received donations from $100 to $300 each from 15 corporate sponsors. They are planning a Comedy Night, featuring comedians from New York City, at the Clarks Summit Ramada March 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $25, and Abdalla said more than half of the 300 have already been sold. Also at the event, there will be a silent raffle with baskets that are valued between $3575. Each parent was asked to donate a basket. “We’re hoping to get most of the fundraising done before the

start of the summer, because by then everyone else starts,” Abdalla said. Abdalla expects the experience to be memorable. “It’s really a great experience,” he said. “It gives the kids the illusion of being at the Little League World Series in Williamsport. They live together in a village and play games together.” Abdalla’s son, Luke, is ecstatic about the chance to play on a big stage. “He is involved with everything and he hasn’t stopped talking about it since the team was picked,” Abdalla said.

6th annual Ski for the Cure raises $21,669 On Feb. 23, Jack Frost Mountain was all in pink as Jack Frost Big Boulder presented the sixth annual Ski for the Cure breast cancer awareness day benefiting the local Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Northeastern Pennsylvania. “We are pleased to announce that we have raised and donated $21,667 from this year’s event, to Dolly Woody, Executive Director, of the Susan G. Komen® Northeastern Pennsylvania Affiliate on Saturday, March 2. This brings our six- year total to over $127,000 and as a result this event has become the second largest fundraising event in Northeast Pa. for Komen. A portion of lift ticket sales was donated by Jack Frost Big Boulder and the remainder came from the generosity of local businesses, Jack Frost Big Boulder staff, ski guests and general public,” said Bernie Oldroyd, Chairperson of the event and a seven

-year breast cancer survivor. One hundred percent of the net proceeds of our fundraising efforts go to Komen, with 75 percent staying right here in Northeast Pa. The remaining 25 percent funds Susan G. Komen National Research Grant Program. Ski for the Cure events included the “Pink Olympics Fun Race,” Dedication Run, Pledge Ski-A-Thon, raffle and more. The Dedication Run remembered those who lost their battle to breast cancer and honored those presently in treatment, their caretakers and breast cancer survivors. Prizes were given to the individual completing the most runs and getting the most donations. The date for the 7th Annual “Ski for the Cure” is Feb. 22, 2014.

the second half. “Brandon’s job on Show was huge; unbelievable,” Imhotep Charter coach Andre Noble said. Abraham Massaley added 12 points and four steals for the Philadelphia school. Jason Bamford led Abington Heights with 14 points and nine rebounds. Show added 11 points. Evan Maxwell came off the bench to block four shots. T.J. Murray and Kevin Elwell had four assists each. Elwell scored four straight to give the Comets a 10-2 lead before the Panthers moved within 12-7 after one quarter. Imhotep Charter got within a point twice in the second quarter before Abington Heights hit three of its four 3-pointers in a stretch of 1:22. Egan hit the first, but Mas-

saley answered for Imhotep Charter. Show then hit two back-toback for a 29-22 lead. The Panthers used the last four points of the half to close within three. Subs Jalil Myers and Jakwon Jones hit 3-pointers 42 seconds apart to give the Panthers their first two leads in the third quarter. The Comets took their last lead, 43-42, when Elwell hit all three free throws in the final minute of the third quarter. After shooting 56.7 percent for the first three quarters, the Comets were just 2-for-7 in the fourth while the Panthers were going 7-for-10. The Comets reached the quarterfinals by defeating Philadelphia Electric, 66-63, in overtime March 12. Show had 30 points, including five 3-pointers in the win. Murray scored all 13 of his points after halftime and Bamford had his 13 in the first half of the win.

with the Chowan University softball team. She’s played in 12 games and starter four – as a designated hitter. She has one hit in four at-bats and has scored five runs for the Murfreesboro, N.C. college. “Kayla has been improving her game ever since she stepped foot on campus,” coach Amanda Balduf said. “Unfortunately, she has had some injuries this year that have limited her to mostly pinch running.” The coach said that Brady remains positive and mentally strong throughout the ordeal. “She is finding ways to stay fit and add new skills to her game – including working with a one-handed bunt.” The coach is looking for Brady to bounce back next season. “I’m hoping she’ll have a healthy senior year so she can showcase her full athletic ability,” Balduf said. “She is definitely a player I can go to if I need something done. I enjoy the conversations we have beyond the game of softball and I respect and admire her work ethic and persistence.” BIG GAME FOR ROSENCRANCE Junior Joel Rosencrance had the biggest game of the young season for the St. Bonaventure baseball team. Rosencrance, from Clarks Summit (Holy Cross), pitched and batted the Bonnies to a 16-3 victory over Chicago State in Port Charlotte, Fla. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound righthander worked a completegame and gave up just five hits and three runs, one earned, with one walk and 10 strikeouts in eight innings. Rosencrance helped his own cause by collecting a double and home run and knocking in three runs. “In Joel’s first outing out of the bullpen, he didn’t locate his pitches very well and got hit around against South Dakota

State,” coach Larry Sudbrook said. “But he pitched very well against Chicago State.” Rosencrance also serves as a designated hitter when not pitching. “Joel will DH against righthanded pitchers,” Sudbrook said. “He got off to a slow start in Florida but he broke out against Chicago State. He is going to be a guy like Jim Thome. He’ll hit doubles, home runs and will take walks and strike out some.” DOGGETT DOES IT ALL Senior Pete Doggett (Abington Heights) is in his fourth season pitching for the Misericordia baseball team. The 6-foot-3 right-hander entered this season with an 8-4 lifetime record with three saves. He pitched in 37 games with nine starts. “Pete has been very versatile throughout his four years,” coach Pete Egbert said. “He has served as a starter, middle reliever and closer and has been effective in all those roles. This season, we will look to Pete to be a starting pitcher mostly.” Doggett’s first start was very good. He worked six innings and gave up six hits and one earned run with three walks and four strikeouts in a 4-2 loss to PSU-Behrend. “Pete adds depth, experience and competitiveness to a veteran pitching staff,” Egbert said. “He has matured both on and off the field in four years and we hope that he will have his best season yet.” KILZI STILL PLAYING Roger Williams senior Elizabeth Kilzi (Abington Heights) has one game remaining in her college career. The 5-foot-9 guard will play in the New England Women’s Basketball Association Senior All-Star game Saturday at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass. Kilzi was among 22 players selected to play in the game, the players nominated by their coaches and sports information directors. Despite missing most of her junior year with an injury, Kilzi in the USAPL National High School Nationals in Denver, Colo. April 5-7. “Tyler and Ryan (Devine) were beaten out by kids who have also qualified for the national championships. Landon and Ryan (Green) are pretty impressive freshman and Bobby Bauman has made huge improvements,” Welcome said. “We hope to have him qualify for the national championships next year.”

OBITUARY JoAnn Burne

March 13, 2013 JoAnn Burne, 85, of Clarks Summit, died Wednesday, March 13, at Green Ridge Health Care Center, Scranton. She was the widow of the late Bartholomew Burne who died in 1963. Born May 13, 1927 in Scranton, she was the daughter of Josephine and Giovanni Pellegrini. She graduated from Scranton Technical High School in 1945 and was the belle of her class. After graduation, she worked at the Glen Alden Coal Company as a bookkeeper until she got married in 1949. Her husband Bart, was the love of her life. She met him at a dance where he walked up to her and said “You look just like my sister Betty.” When he walked her home, he told her mother that he knew he was going to marry her. She was swept off of her feet and married him six months later. They had the fairy tale wedding. They resided in the hill section of Scranton before moving to Miami Beach, Fla., where they lived for 8 years. She returned to Scranton in 1959, when her husband was stuck by a car and brought to the Veterans Hospital in Wilkes -Barre, where he laid in a coma until his death in 1963. JoAnn was expecting her last child at the time of the accident. She was a brave and courageous woman who did not miss one day of visiting Bart in those four and a half years of his hospital stay. She devoted her entire life to her three children. She always spoke of the amazing support she had from her family and close friends. Her mother moved in with her to help care for her children and her in-laws bought her a house a few doors away from

them. Her three sisters were also an important part of the support team. When JoAnn’s children were in grade school she was known as “The Stamp Lady” at Longfellow School, a title she held for 12 years, that involved managing the S&H Green stamp program that most grade schools had in the 1960s. She also volunteered at St. Paul’s School lunch room for her granddaughters. She was a member of the St. Joseph’s Auxiliary, the Theresians of Scranton, a member of a weekly neighborhood rosary group, a volunteer at St. Francis Kitchen and also active in the ARC. JoAnn was known for her inner and outer beauty, but her genuine kindness toward others gained her a wealth of deep loyal friendships that she was very grateful for. She was most proud of her family and lived for the memories she made with them. Her grandchildren were the center of her world. Surviving are three children, Bart E. Burne, Jr. and wife Beverly, Laflin; Florence Weller and husband Robert, Hudson Florida; Joni Stone and husband Christopher, Clarks Summit, with whom she resided until her move to Green Ridge Health Care Center; two sisters, Preziosa Briga, Scranton and Lucille Regni, Wisc.; six grandchildren, Nora Weber and husband David, Clarks Summit; Marla and Suzie Stone, Clarks Summit, Robert, Gregory and Nicholas Weller, Hudson Florida; and one great granddaughter, Grace Elizabeth Weber. She was preceded in death by a sister Angelina Pellegrini. Memorials may be made in JoAnn’s name to St. Joseph’s Center, 320 S. Blakely Street., Dunmore, Pa 18512 To send an online condolence, visit www.lawrenceeyoungfuneralhome.com.

Stranger danger Dani had never wanted to talk about “Stranger-Danger”. When she was a toddler, my husband and I first broached the subject with her and she covered her ears, hummed as loud as she could and then cried. Any subsequent attempts to educate her on it ended up with a string of sleepless nights. As a middle school student, she has now endured the lectures not only at home, but at school, and has taken part in many dialogues about how to handle various situations. The timing is crucial because she now has the right and responsibility to walk around our neighborhood independently. It was just after school start-

The Classics, who finished with a 27-3 record, were defeated by Villa Maria, 48-30, March 16 in the third round of the girls games in Allentown. Tricia Byrne scored her 1,000th point during the run.

the chief. “Mrs. Heine?” He began. “I wanted to let you know. I saw the truck matching your daughter’s description and I followed it. It stopped at a few houses on your road before I realized why.” He seemed to stifle a smile as he went on. “It’s the postman, ma’am.” Now, to give Dani credit, in the ten years we’ve lived here, there has never been home delivery of mail. Everyone in our neighborhood has had to pick up their mail at the post office, until just recently. I had neglected to put together the memo we’d received from the post office with the description of the man in the white truck. Despite our reassurances that the man and his truck have business that brings them to our street, Dani is still suspicious. Doug and I chuckled at the misunderstanding, but at least we can feel confident that she heard the message we’d tried to impart so many years before.

ed when she told me about the man in the white truck. “Mom, he is almost always there when I get off the bus!” I have to admit I was reticent to become alarmed initially. The fatigue of caring for a new baby paired with a long exposure to child-produced melodrama, certainly took its toll on my reaction. In addition, Dani throws the word “abduction” around as if it’s one of the most popular in the English language. “How many times have you seen him?” I asked. “Is he visiting one of our neighbors?” “No! He just sits there and watches me! He turns around in different driveways each time!” She explained how

there was some kind of a seal on the door of his truck and how it had a yellow light on top. My husband, Doug, and I began a subtle investigation. When I was out walking, I closely scrutinized every truck for those details. Doug drove to the state park, seeking a truck that matched the description, in order to link it to a man he could question. We began to meet her at the bus stop, but never saw the man in the white truck. Then it happened on a Saturday. “Mom! Dad!” Dani called as she ran in the house with her friend. “He was there!” “It’s true!” her friend added. “”The guy drove really slowly right behind us, chasing us! We ran as fast as we could!” “That’s it!” my husband declared. “You are not leaving this house without me! It’s time I confront this guy!” That Monday Doug and I decided to stop by the police station to alert them to the situation. The chief was extremely attentive. He took a full description and said he would make it his business to patrol our neighborhood at around the time the school bus came every day. That afternoon there was a knock at my front door.

Sales Consultant

I am a resident of Peckville Pa and a previous resident of Jessup PA where I was born and raised. I am a proud graduate of Valley View High School, and have been a car enthusiast since I can remember. I have been involved in the automobile industry for 23 years. Such involvement has been from the parts distribution side of the business, to the wholesale side of the business, to now for the past 9 years the retail side of the industry as a sales consultant for Gibbons Ford. All facets of the business have been very enjoyable but the retail side is especially rewarding when you can help any client select the proper vehicle to suit their needs both ﬁnancially and emotionally.
