Rich history of Passover at Discovery Center By JOAN MEAD-MATSuI Abington Journal Correspondent

ABiNgtON JOurNAL/JOAN MEAd-MAtSui

Colin and Cameron Arcus decorate Matzo bags at the Passover Craft Fair in the Jewish discovery Center.

Passover is Tania Goldberg’s favorite holiday because of its elaborate and rich history. “…There’s such peace that every Seder you get to read this history…It’s amazing,” said Goldberg, who resides in Clarks Summit and was one of approximately 60 adults and children who attended a Passover Craft Fair, March

24, at the Jewish Discovery Center, Waverly, in celebration of Passover. Passover began Monday evening March 25 with the first Seder and will last for seven days. Thirty-five to 40 children took part in a hands-on craft experience, with the goal of the fair to focus on the children’s central role during Passover, a holiday that celebrates the time, or the season, when

the Jewish people fled Egypt, according to Rabbi Benny Rapoport, Jewish Discovery Center co-director. He explained Passover as, “They (the Jewish people) were enslaved for more than 200 years. God took the Jewish people out of Egypt with an outstretched arm, including great miracles, 10 plagues and the splitting of the sea,” he said. “At the Seder, children take

a central role. They are the ones asking the questions. They are the ones driving the narrative forward, so it’s really important that the children feel they are an integral part of the Seder, of the Passover experience, and thus, the crafts’ fair was an opportunity for them to make Passover their holiday… This is also something that is a community effort – you see the community coming together – families of all ages coming

According to Diane Calabro, who serves as co-chair of Men In Black IV, sponsored by the Abington Business and Professional Association (ABPA), guests at the event should expect some “very distinguished surprise models.” “We keep making the comment to just think ‘Men in Black,’” she said. The event will support the 2013 Rotary of the Abingtons 4th of July Fireworks and Clarks Summit Holiday Lights. “Since it’s a community project in the Abingtons, we try to keep it local,” Calabro said. “Each year, the 4th of July donations are becoming less and less and it’s the same situation for the Christmas lights. This year’s theme is “Light up the Town,” so that takes care of the fireworks and holiday lights. Calabro added that $65 tickets are still available for the April 17 event to be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Glen Oak Country Club, Clarks Summit, each by e-mailing her at calabrod@yahoo.com or contacting the association.

CLARKS SUMMIT- The Abington Heights High School pool remains closed after concerns were raised by parents of children experiencing breathing and respiratory issues after using the facility. According to Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon, If It’s Water, Inc., based out of Dowingtown, will visit the facility March 27 to offer recommendations moving forward. “We’ve listened very carefully to the concerns that have been raised and are taking them very seriously,” Mahon said. “An employee, who is certified through the Department of Agriculture, tests the water twice a day. We test the chlorine and pH each day and the data is always within the acceptable range. Also, once per week during the fall, we send samples of the water to be tested for chloroform at an independent lab and the reports are always in the range of acceptability. We also regularly test for chloramines in the water, which are the subject of greatest concern.” The district does not currently test for the level of chloramines in the air, but Mahon believes testing for chloramines in the water is a good proxy. Although, he recognizes that the current state of the pool conditions is dangerous. “It’s a serious concern,” he said. “The real problem is when there is heavy, competitive use.” According to Mahon, a swimmer with the Abington Gators had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance after being overcome by fumes on a day in which the pool experienced heavy activity. “The end result of a student being overcome by fumes is entirely unacceptable,” Mahon said. Mahon believes the solution will include multiple approaches, including some form of additional equipment and making sure the pool is not overused. “We’re looking forward to having a draft solution in the very near future,” Mahon added. “Our understanding

Editor: Most people don’t understand the duties and responsibilities of a Correctional Officer. Once they enter the prison, there are the prison walls, fences with rolls of concertina wire on top and gates. I would like the readers to recognize is the Correctional Officers only carry on their person handcuffs, a radio, their training and the use of common sense, which is paramount for their job. These professional men and women deal with inmates that have Drug problems, Psychiatric/mental conditions, Tuberculosis, HIV, Aids, Hepatitis, Herpes, Mrsa, Lice, STD, along with all the other contagious diseases. Their job consists of three C’s: care, custody and control. The Correctional Officers are multi-taskers, taking care of medical, Nutritional and religious needs, preventing and stopping fights, cell extractions, prevent suicides if possible, financial or sexual extortion of inmates, gambling and cell searches for contraband. They are the first responders that arrive on the scene to assess the medical situation, performing First Aid and CPR and as the situation warrants, contacting medical personnel for further medical evaluation. The Correctional Officer is responsible to make sure the inmates do not escape. This is done by multiple roll call counts, checking the prison for inmates trying to escape,

checking the walls; inspecting the bars and fencing so no escape is possible. This is done on all shifts. The inmates have all day to plan an escape, disrupt the system and God forbid, plan harm to a staff member or to other inmates. Most of the Correctional Officers work in an environment where there are more inmates than staff and that also is dependent on the activities that are going on. Inmates always outnumber staff. The average shift is 8 hours but can lead to 16, which is mandatory overtime. The prison must be manned 24/7 without question. The prison never closes or shuts down. Correction Officer Eric Williams gave everything he had, including his life, to make sure that our community is safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Williams family, friends and coworkers in their time of grief. This is also to all the “Unsung Heroes” who work very hard behind these prison walls every day across our great country. A job well done and “Thank You” for all that you do when you walk through those gates to do your job. There are many duties you perform that go above and beyond the call of duty that no one ever hears or knows about.

Editor: Governor Tom Corbett declared last Friday, March 22, 2013, Lynch Syndrome Hereditary Cancer Public Awareness Day, citing that the condition affects approximately 1 in 400 people in Pennsylvania and across the United States. Lynch Syndrome, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is the most common cause of inherited colon cancer in adults, and accounts for nearly 4,200 new cases of the disease each year. Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the general population and though Lynch Syndrome is only responsible for two to five percent of those cancer cases, it’s vital for carriers to know about their increased risk. Carriers of the mutations, both men and women, are at an estimated 80 percent increased risk of developing colon cancer, compared to just a five percent risk in the general population. Additionally, women with Lynch syndrome have up to a 60 percent risk for developing uterine cancer. Knowledge is power. Those who know they have Lynch Syndrome can help protect

themselves – and potentially family members – with early screening for colon, uterine and the other cancers associated with the condition. It is important to point out that while Lynch Syndrome relates to an increased risk of cancer, it is not a cancer diagnosis— not everyone who has Lynch syndrome will develop cancer. However, knowing that an individual is a carrier can help them take the necessary preventative steps towards safeguarding their individual and family health. As a certified genetic counselor at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) in Philadelphia, I work to counsel patients on hereditary cancer syndromes, what their increased risk means for treatment and screening and if their family members should also consider being tested. Over the last 5 years more than 100 patients from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region have traveled to CTCA in Philadelphia.

Abington Journal ‘sweeps’ again LIST OF aWaRDS:

The Times Leader garnered 11 awards, The Sunday Dispatch received three awards, The Abington Journal won 12 awards, and The Dallas Post won one award. The Abington Journal also was named the “sweepstakes winner” for its division. “Once again the staff at all of our publications showed why they are considered the best in Northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Joe Butkiewicz, vice president and executive editor. “The Times Leader won first-place awards for investigative and ‘spot news,’ areas of news gathering crucial to our readers but not a high priority for other papers. The sportswriters and news and feature page designers at The Times Leader do terrific work every day, and it’s great that has been recognized. “The Abington Journal continues to prove that our attention to community news is worth the effort,” Butkiewicz said. “For the fourth consecutive year the staff at the Journal won the sweepstakes award for the best paper of its circulation size in all of Pennsylvania. I’m proud to work with such talented and hardworking journalists.” Winners of the contest will be honored at the Pennsylvania Press Conference May 18 in Harrisburg.

University associate professor gives back

By jOan meaD-matSui Abington Journal Correspondent

University of Scranton Associate Professor Tata Mbugua, Ph.D., has seen firsthand how giving back locally can facilitate change globally. In January, Mbugua traveled to present a paper at an educational conference in Nairobi, and while there, presented $500 on behalf of the Abington Heights High School Interact Club. Money raised by members of the club through the sale of T-shirts and bracelets was donated to two primary schools and will be used toward school supplies for the children, according to Mbugua, also a member of the Rotary Club of the Abingtons. “The Interact Club members (under the auspices of the Rotary Club of the Abingtons) were looking to augment what the Rotary Club of the Abingtons has done in Kenya in the past, providing for electricity at Ndurarua Primary School and school supplies,” she said. “This time around they actually helped two schools: the Achiever’s Club at Ndurarua Primary School, Nairobi (also where Mbugua attended primary school) and Hotcourses

University of Scranton Associate Professor Tata Mbugua, Ph.D., traveled to Nairobi, and presented $500 on behalf of the Abington Heights High School Interact Club. Primary School at Nyumbani Village.” This is the second time they have raised $500. Nairobi is the capital and largest city in The Republic of Kenya, a sovereign state located in East Africa. Kenya is an emerging economy in East Africa and “definitely the strongest U.S. ally on the continent. Nairobi is the seat of the United Nations headquarters and other major international organizations in Africa. Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa hosts a U.S. naval base, while the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi is the largest in Africa,” said Mbugua. She explained Nyumbani means “home” in the Swahili language, and Nyumbani Village is comprised of 1,000 acres of land donated by the

Kenya government to the founder of Nyumbani home, the late Angelo D’Agostino, a Jesuit pediatrician, who died in 2006. “Nyumbani Village, now under the directorship of Sister Mary Owens, welcomed their one-thousandth child in January 2013. All the children at this Village have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, and are being raised by their grandparents,” she said. “The Interact Club members’ efforts are a means to give back…to the global community. Regardless of where we are in this world, we can be of service to those who are poor and are less fortunate. “It’s this whole concept of globalization, where as the human race, we are interconnected and interdependent. In the process we are embracing the notion of a triple identity: as a family member, as a citizen of the U.S. and a citizen of the world.” Adam Baker is the Abington Heights High School Interact Club advisor; Stephanie Westington, Rotary Club of Abingtons Interact Club advisor; Sarah Parkinson, Interact Club treasurer; Emily Davis, Club president and Will Swisher, Club vice president.

Abington women chair 26th annual Gourmet Gala By Kevin Kearney Abington Journal Correspondent

It was 26 years ago when Carol Chisdak’s 18-month-old niece was hospitalized with leukemia. “My sister had to stay in the hospital for a month because she didn’t have anywhere else to stay,” said the Clarks Summit woman. But two good things happened: the toddler made a full recovery and Chisdak was inspired to get involved with the Ronald McDonald House in Scranton, which was just becoming established at the time. The house provides a place to stay for families of sick children while the youngsters are treated in hospitals. Chisdak is the event chairperson for the 26th annual Gourmet Gala April 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Genetti’s Manor in Dickson City. More than 50 local eateries will donate food for the event. Carol Chizdak of Clarks Summit and Carole Rosencrance of Clarks Green are chairpersons of the event. Tickets may be purchased by calling 969.8998.

The committee for the get-together hopes to raise between $60,000 and $70,000 for the Ronald McDonald House in Scranton. “It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year,” Chisdak said. About 900 people are expected at the event, whose theme, “Aloha Hawaii,” will transform the ballroom into a tropical paradise, with food and decorations from the island state. “We thought that theme would be a lot of fun and would be welcoming spring and the warm weather,” Chisdak said. “I expect we’ll see some people with Hawaiian shirts and casual Hawaiian attire and some leis. So that’s a good thing. It’s a great occasion. It get’s better every year.” The gala’s co-chairperson, Carole Rosencrance, of Clarks Green, said the event is important because the money raised covers operating costs at the Ronald McDonald House at 332 Wheeler Ave. in Scranton. There, families are

in a safe, supportive environment and near their hospitalized children. The families can relax, have a meal, connect with other families in similar situations, and get a night’s rest. “I feel it’s so worthwhile and helps so many people,” Rosencrance said. Chisdak noted the families’ stay at the house is not necessarily limited to a single night, depending on the circumstances. “We’ve had people stay there for up to a year without charge. It’s really a home away from home.” The Scranton house can accommodate up to eight families at a time. Also available through the Ronald McDonald program are an overnight room at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton and a lounge-style room at Moses Taylor Hospital, also in Scranton. The Gourmet Gala is being sponsored by First Liberty Bank and Trust, WNEP-16 and Lamar Advertising.

Excitement is mounting at the Dietrich as we prepare for our upcoming Spring Film Festival. I can’t think of a better way to welcome spring than with two weeks of the finest foreign, independent and art films that have been released over the past few months. Our Opening Night Gala on Friday, April 5 is definitely not to be missed with fantastic hors d’oeuvres, wine, desserts and of course films. Our featured films of the evening include “Quartet” and “Hyde Park on the Hudson.” “Quartet” is a lively film directed by Dustin Hoffman, which features Maggie Smith (I just love her as the Dowager Countess in “Downton Abbey”), Bill Connolly and Michael Gambon. And I’ve heard that Bill Murray’s portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in “Hyde Park on the Hudson” is remarkable and Laura Linney always manages to shine in all of her roles. Tickets for Opening Night are $35 each, and they are moving quickly. To make reservations, please call us at 570.996.1500. For more information about the thirteen other festival films, visit our website www. dietrichtheater.com or pick up a brochure at the theater. Switching gears to programming for children, the Dietrich has two free class series for preschoolers in April. Instructor Michaela Moore of All About Theatre will be back with her popular workshop Movement & Storytelling for Preschoolers. In these classes students will explore drama as they learn about movement and storytelling, play theatre games, interpret music and create characters. This series is a wonderful creative outlet for preschoolers’ mental and physical energy. The workshop will culminate with a casual presentation of a story created by the students. Classes will be held on Wednesdays, April 3, 10, 17 and 24 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. The Dietrich will also be hosting a free Preschool Pottery & Sculpture series in April with Amy Colley. Young artists will explore working with clay as they create animal sculptures and learn to create pottery using a potter’s wheel and hand building techniques. Preschool Pottery & Sculpture will take place Thursdays, April 4, 11, 18, 25 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Space is limited for both of these classes so register now by calling the Dietrich at 570.996.1500. Amy and Steve Colley will also teach an All About Pottery & Sculpture class series for children ages five to twelve years old. In past classes, students have created birdhouses, teapots, bowls and unique sculptures out of clay. The studio is equipped with several potter’s wheels for the children to learn how to use, plus Amy

Sole to Soul celebrates 10 years, 100s of soles When Dorothy and Sean O’Connor opened the doors of Sole to Soul in 2003, Dorothy always had a soft spot for the tiny customers. “When we started I just loved working with the kids.. I always had fun with kids,” she said. What began as handing out free pretzels and making the first shoe shopping experience a family memory evolved into a broad array of passions from fitting the whole family with comfortable shoes to selling toys, strategy games, puzzles and hosting special events for children and families 10 years later. It only seems fitting, she said, that the month will start off with an Art Show featuring 10 talents. One young artist was born the year Sole to Soul opened. The celebration finishes with fun in the form of face painting and treats April 24. A percentage of all purchases that day will go to the Children’s Advocacy Center.

The month starts off with a donation of 100 pair of new Naot shoes to the Women’s Resource Center in Scranton. April 12 will bring a Second Friday Art Show featuring 10 artists and a Naot Trunk Show with special giveaways. Dansko week, April 1520, includes a chance to enter to win one of three pair of Danskos to be given away that Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Entries can be made by sharing recycling ideas. The store’s favorites will be shared each day on Facebook in conjunction with Earth Day. The last week of April will be Kids’ Week with specials every day. The store will host face painting and treats, and a percentage of all purchases will go to the Children’s Advocacy Center April 24. Everyone will be offered a 10 percent savings throughout the store all month to thank the customers for their support for the last 10 years.

people understand them,” Dr. Miller-Lanning said. “Behind each there is a story that helps bring these structures to life.” The exhibit will showcase the creation of the sculptures and the ideals represented, with detailed photographs and information about each structure. Walking tours of the sculptures on campus are also being planned. Dr. Miller-Lanning said exhibit also celebrates the opening of The Jesuit Center at The University of Scranton, which promotes Ignatian spirituality within an interreligious context and fosters faculty and staff participation in the University’s Jesuit higher educational mission. As part of downtown Scranton’s First Friday, Dr. MillerLanning will give a lecture on the exhibit April 5, at 5 p.m. in the Pearn Auditorium in Brennan Hall. A public reception will follow from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Hope Horn Gallery. The exhibit is part of The Hope Horn Gallery’s “Landmarks and Milestones” 2012 -2013 series, celebrating significant dates and architecture in the region. The Hope Horn Gallery exhibits and lectures are offered free of charge and are open to the public.

The next installment of the New Visions Writers Showcase, co-hosted by Brian Fanelli and Jason Lucarelli, will take place March 30 at 7 p.m. at the New Visions Studio and Gallery. The March showcase will feature readings by visiting and local writers. The reading is free and light refreshments will be provided. This month’s reading will feature Stanton Hancock, Laurel Radzieski, Shelby Fisk, Chris Campion, Heather M. Davis and Andrea McGuigan. Hancock is a poet, author and musician from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley whose work embraces the unconventional and celebrates the beauty that dwells within the crumbling remnants of industrialized society. Stanton has a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from Bloomsburg University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Wilkes University. He is the founder of the indie publishing company Three Chord Press and is excitedly finishing the final preparations for its first release, Split 7 Inch, slated to be released this spring. Radzieski is a Keystone College graduate who divides her time between writing and theatrical endeavors. She is the Cultural Assistant at the Dietrich Theater and is an acting member of the Dietrich Children’s Theatre, a group in which she has played a fox, a

wolf, and a few cats. Her poetry has been recognized by the Mulberry Poets & Writers Association and she is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in Creative Writing at Goddard College. Fisk is a former staff writer and photographer for The Times Leader Scranton Edition and The Abington Journal. She graduated with a M.A. and MFA in Creative Writing from Wilkes University, where she studied fiction and poetry. She writes incorporating the two genres in her writing, teaches English at Keystone College, where she received her B.A., and is currently working on a multinarrative novel. Campion holds an M.A. in Creative Writing from Wilkes University. His short stories can be found through Fiction365.com and the East Meets West, American Writers Journal. He is currently an M.F.A. candidate at Wilkes University. Davis has been a film buff since the beginning of her life on Earth. She received a B.A. in Film Studies and Production from Hofstra University and a M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Wilkes University. She works full-time as Marketing and Communications Specialist for Johnson College and adjuncts at Johnson College and Lackawanna College. She’s a screenwriter, essayist, fiction conjurer and a companion.

Traveling Trunks bring nutrition, hands-on fun BY MARY ANN McGRATH

‘Jacob and the Angel’ by Arlene Love will be among the pieces in ‘Imagination and Spirituality: Public Sculpture on The University of Scranton Commons’ exhibit. The collection of historic art and artifacts will be on display in The Hope Horn Gallery from April 5 to May 10.

University of Scranton students looking for art in Scranton might not realize the treasures right under their noses. “Something so close can be overlooked and taken for granted,” said Darlene MillerLanning, Ph.D., director of The Hope Horn Gallery. What are these hiddewn gems? The public sculptures throughout campus. The sculptures are the subject of “Imagination and Spirituality: Public Sculptures of The University of Scranton Commons,” on display at The Hope Horn Gallery from April 5 to May 10. The University commissioned several large-scale public sculptures in the past 30 years, including “Jacob and the Angel” by Arlene Love; “Christ the Teacher” by Trevor Southey; “The Doorway to the Soul” by Lisa Fedon and “Metanoia” by Gerhard Baut. According to Dr. Miller-Lanning, these diverse structures represent different aspects of the University’s identity as a Catholic, Jesuit institution of higher learning, such as the Ignatian concept of magis and education of the whole person through the liberal arts. “Everybody sees these sculptures on campus, but not many

For the next few weeks, the Abington Community Library will “host” Traveling Trunks designed to promote children’s fitness and nutrition. The contents of the two trunks contain books for children of various ages, plus toys, playing card games, play food sets, recipe cards, and a nutrition puppet set, among other manipulatives and educational material. The trunks are the joint project of the Northeast Library District, Northeast Regional Cancer Institute, Marywood University and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. In addition to incorporating the theme of fitness and nutrition into regular library storytimes, many of the items mentioned will be made available for “hands-on fun” in the library’s Story Room so that families with children can enjoy and benefit from them whenever they visit the library until midApril. Stop at the Children’s Desk for more information and for a selection of handouts that promote good nutrition. The library will also

observe Financial Literacy Month during April with a display of books for all ages (adults, teens and children) that can be checked out for use at home. In addition, children’s programming will feature a look at money and how to save it, spend it and share it. A three-part series, planned and presented by library staff and sponsored by PNC Bank, will be held Thursday April 4, April 11 and April 25, for children age 3 through 7 years old, from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Likewise, the library’s Storytime Teens group will focus on money, using picture books and activities appropriate to youngsters in the same age range (3 – 7). Registration is now taking place in the Children’s Room. A special guest storyteller will make a return visit to the library Wednesday, April 17, from 1:30 to 2:15. Ms. Cindy Reynolds, a retired classroom teacher, impersonated a zookeeper to promote the book, “Stop Snoring, Bernard,” last spring. At this visit, she will share parts of the book “Three Cups,” in which a youngster learns valuable lessons about saving his allowance, and introduce other books on the topic of financial literacy for children, along with poems, songs, finger plays and an original “money rap” interlude. Pre-registration is requested. Recommended for pre-schoolers and children up through grade 2.

The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit. Visit out website, www. lclshome.org/abington to register online for events or call the library at (570) 587-3440.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to think that by limiting the hours we would be excluding the Gators from participating or not having a team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to be wise about moderating the activity. Our solution is going to be multifaceted and only one small part I believe will be reasonable limitations on overuse of the pool.â&#x20AC;? Cathleen Lopez, who has a child swim for the Abington Gators, described how important of a purpose the pool serves to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pool is a very important part of our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teaching them a life skill.â&#x20AC;?

teams,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe there has been a deterioration of all systems at the pool over the last seven years. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to upgrade and do it right. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is a wantâ&#x20AC;ŚI think this its a need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important is building and keeping a safe environment for our kids.â&#x20AC;? The school board voted 9-0 to approve a permanent and temporary easement to allow South Abington Twp. to install a new gravity sewer line behind South Abington Elementary School, after receiving insurances for the engineering firm Ceco Associats, Inc. that granting the easements would not â&#x20AC;&#x153;adversely affectâ&#x20AC;? the school property. The terms of the easement state that the project must be completed no later than 54 days from the end of the 201213 school year.

Sara Garcia, 21, was already fairly committed to attend Davidson College in North Carolina, but it was the magic of March that sealed her decision. “My family was familiar with the college and I had grown up knowing that it was an outstanding academic school,” she said. “However, what really brought the school to the top of my list was watching their trip to the Elite 8 in 2008, as well as meeting Davidson Alumni and fellow Scranton Prep graduate, Christian Davis. The minute that Christian found out I was looking at Davidson, he got in contact with me and told me everything he knew . He was very successful at a young age and was very adamant about his Davidson experience, so I figured that they had to be doing something right. I am so glad for my family, Christian, and of course Stephen Curry, the star player of the Wildcats 2008 team, for helping me make the best decision I have made thus far in my life. The Clarks Summit resident believes as she prepares to graduate that she will always be a part of the Davidson Wildcat family and will cherish every memory. “Davidson is truly a unique and wonderful place mainly due to the immense sense of community on campus and throughout the country,” she said. “I found that when you graduate from Davidson you are always connected… it’s a tattoo that you can’t nor want to remove. My best memories stem from my freshman experience in my freshman hall and my experience as a Davidson College cheerleader. Davidson does a miraculous job matching roommate pairs and putting them on a hall which they are compatible with by allowing each incoming freshman to take the Myers Brigg Personality Test. . “However, my greatest memories involve my time as a Davidson College cheerleader. It was my first and greatest activity I became involved with. I will never forget those heart-pounding games in Belk Arena, at the Southern Conference Tournament, and at the NCAA tournament.” Garcia picked up the love for cheerleading from her sister and has enjoyed progressing through the ranks. “I idolized my older sister Anna, and when she took up the sport I knew I wanted to join too,” she said. “I started cheerleading for the Falcons of Our Lady of Peace School (Clarks Green), and continued throughout my time at Scranton Prep. The sport is interesting because it ranges from competitive cheerleading to more sideline cheerleading like I do at Davidson. I love dancing, choreographing and stunting. It takes immense strength and focus to do the sort of complicated pyramid building that you may notice cheerleaders doing, although my mother held her breath every time one of her daughters went up or put someone up in the air.” The psychology major with a pre-med concentration was selected as a captain this season, an honor she cherished . “This was my first year as captain, I was extremely honored to have this opportunity,” she said. “Not only because I got the chance to lead an amazing group of individuals and work with the most loving coach, Jeanette Scire (MammaCat), but also because I was able to connect with

Amy Clegg had a brush with fame when she met Terry Bradshaw, FOX sportscaster and former NFL quarterback, while on a trip for business in Salt Lake City. Clegg, 44, of Clarks Summit is a franchisee of Express Employment Professionals, a national temporary staffing agency, and she ran into the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback during a meet-and-greet ahead for franchise owners and their staff. Bradshaw will be one of the speakers during the simulcast viewing April 17 at McCann School of Business, Dickson City. The event will be broadcast from Florida. Decked out in Steelers’ gear, Clegg and some of her staff met Bradshaw and asked him a few questions about leadership, both on the field and off, the theme of the upcoming simulcast. He was being photographed , so at first he didn’t answer her. Clegg said she felt a little foolish, thinking he was ignoring her, until he turned toward her and “with exuberance and excitement” gave her his answer after his photo was taken. “Personal life is less stressful,” he told her. “I can control me. It’s what happens outside that I have no control over.” Clegg said Bradshaw was beaming and acted as if she had asked “the most brilliant question in the world.” When she told the Hall of Famer that she was from Scranton, Bradshaw said the city’s name “with perfect local dialect.”

motto of the Abington Heights High School Pep Band. What makes the pep band “peppy? “We do upbeat songs and we do cheers,” said Kaylee Kline, who along with senior Evan Eckersley is one of the founders, organizers and band leaders. Their raucous music and cheers can be heard at school events including basketball games and wrestling matches. And this year, for the first time,

the band is planning to entertain at Relay for Life of the Abingtons, an overnight fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society organized by students. According to Eckersley and Kline, this is the first year in “a while” there has been a pep band at the high school and the band is completely run by seniors. “You don’t really need a director and you can direct yourselves, so we got a group of people together and started cheering at the basketball games,” said Kline. Eckersley added, “…We’re

graduating…and we’re trying to take care of everything. It’s a great program.” The band is comprised of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments played by freshman through seniors. On March 12, band members performed to a group of eighth grade students at Abington Heights Middle School with the intention of recruiting students who will be freshman at the high school for the 2013/2014 school year. Anyone interested in joining the Pep Band is asked to inquire at the Abington Heights High School office.

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.
