C. S. councilman’s grandfather honored
By GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent
AbingtOn JOurnAl/gErArd nOlAn
Herman R. Johnson, a veteran of the Vietnam War, lives and works in Clarks Summit. He seeks the Medal of Honor for his grandfather, Henry Lincoln Johnson.
U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt called him one of the five bravest men to fight in World War I. France conferred its highest military honor, the Croix de Guerre, upon him. He returned to a hero’s welcome at home, including a ticker-tape parade in New York City. A World War I battle is named after him. He was nicknamed “Black Death.” The military
Council member, hope that telling his story will once and for all secure his place in American history as a valiant warrior, decorated with the military honor he deserves— the Congressional Medal of Honor. Politicians, including New York Sen. Charles Schumer, have touted Johnson as an unsung hero. The History Channel recently aired a documentary on his life. Albany, his hometown, has honored
used his image on recruitment posters after the war. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. But for generations following World War I, the memory of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Sergeant U.S. Army faded into obscurity. Henry Johnson’s relatives and admirers, including grandson Herman R. Johnson, a Clarks Summit Borough
Ever wonder how Clarks Green looked in the 1940s and 1950s? Where three byways intersected, small town America was in its heyday. “Clarks Green corners was just that,” said Clarks Summit resident and history buff, Warren Watkins, 80. He recalled Kermit Greene, chief of the Clarks Green Police Department. In the late 1940s and 1950s, Chief Greene was the only policeman in the department. “Kermit was responsible for the Clarks Green corners, which consists of North Abington Road, Glenburn Road and East Grove Street. His patrol car was his own. He is buried in the Clarks Green Cemetery.” Watkins took a walk down memory lane to paint a mental picture of the scene. “It was really their downtown area. It consisted of O’Malley’s Gulf (Gas) Station, Brown’s Pharmacy, a dentist, a hairdresser’s and barber shop. At one time, there was a gift shop, along with another small business, and at one time there was a Turkey Hill Store there.” The Borough Building, a small grocery store and also a barber shop were also part of the landscape. Farther down on East Grove Street was the Clarks Green Garage, (repaired and sold cars) and “that was about it,” said Watkins. “Later on, there was a funeral home next to the

The Borough of Clarks Summit’s Earth Day Celebration will be held downtown April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. “The goal is to bring awareness to the community and surrounding communities about how valuable the Earth is and the need to protect it,” Clarks Summit Recycling and Earth Day Chair Patty Lawler said. Lawler was pleased with the results of the inaugural celebration last year. “For the first time out, it was very successful with big crowds,” she said. “This past year, people have been asking if we going to do Earth Day again. It’s been great. We want to capitalize on that and make it even better this year.” With the help of two grants,
borough building, and farther up next to Baumgartner’s (store), was the Baptist Church. The Insalaco’s Supermarket was built where the medical building is now. That pretty much made up the corners.” Watkins lives in Clarks Summit Borough, but not much farther than a stone’s throw away from Clarks Green Borough. He spent his youth roller skating, riding his bicycle, fishing. That is, he said, “besides church (Clarks Green United Methodist Church) and attending school.” “We found a lot of things to do on our own to keep busy.” He and his pals fished and ice skated on a pond on Venard Road and, “if we didn’t fish there, we’d get on our bikes and go to Glenburn Pond.” For anyone who did not wear a watch, a siren sounded at 7 a.m., noon and again at 6 p.m. To earn money, at one point when he was 12 or 13, Watkins ran a lawn business that included approximately 14 customers. But he did not have a car to transport the circa- 1930s push mower he inherited from his grandfather, so he tied the lawn mower to the back of his bike and pulled the mower to his customers. A newly formed Centennial Committee will plan ahead for the celebration of Clarks Green borough’s 100th anniversary May 14, 2014. One group aims to fund a town clock for the occasion.

Diversity SPRINGS into Film Fest TUNKHANNOCK- From comedies, to dramas and documentaries, this year’s Spring Film Festival at the Dietrich Theater, set for April 5 through 18, promises to be as diverse as the guests in attendance. “If you’ve never been to a film festival before, you’re in for a great surprise,” said Jennifer Jenkins, executive director. “You can travel around the world—France, Italy, Germany, Norway—and see royalty, refugees and rock stars, all without leaving the Dietrich Theater.” Jenkins said moviegoers often leave with many thoughtprovoking ideas, and even new friends. “We love the film festivals at the Dietrich for the way they bring all kinds of diverse people together,” she said.
Bring out your phone books
Students from Clarks Summit Elementary are stepping up to the plate again to take the Earth Day Challenge, now underway. Students are collecting phone books for recycling. The class that collects the most will become The Recycling Champs of 2013. Last year, David Temprine’s third grade class won the competition. Students have until April 18 for collection from the public. April 19, phone books will be tallied and the Recycling Champs of 2013 announced. Each member of the winning class will receive a T-shirt and be invited to be a junior marshal in the Borough’s Memorial Day Celebration. Last year, more than 1,500 phone books were recycled thanks to the students at C.S. Elementary. Principal Kevin Rogan and Councilwoman Patty Lawler are coordinating the event.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Clarks Summit borough council voted to appoint an interim emergency management director to replace Council member Herman Johnson, who retired April 1. George Yarns, deputy EMA director, has assumed the director role as of April 1 until a new EMA director is appointed. Council voted to appoint Yarns to the position at its March 25 work session. The vote was unanimous with Johnson abstaining. Yarns probably would not be able to serve as a permanent director, however, because he works for the county. “He is already involved with Lackawanna County as a Deputy EMA Coordinator, Council member David Jenkins said of Yarns. “If something should arise, he is obligated to go with the county.” The council will initiate a search for candidates to fill the job, which requires a great deal of training, according to Johnson. “If we were to have a storm
tomorrow, and the mayor declared an emergency, and you had to get the EMA and the borough manager to put together paperwork to receive monies from the federal government, that individual has to know what he is doing,” Johnson said. Johnson didn’t have any suggestions for his successor, but approved of Yarns for the interim role. In other business, members of the borough’s Shade Tree Commission updated council on the status of their project to plant trees across the borough, including in front of many businesses and the upcoming CVS project on the corners of State Street and Winola Road. The commission hopes to persuade the Abington Heights School District to plant more trees on its property. “We want to forest some of it (Abington Heights) so that they don’t have to cut the grass,” said Donna Zagrapan, president of the commission. Zagrapan touted the benefits of planting trees, including a reduction in soil erosion, less grass to cut, shade, aesthetics and others.

Abington Dog Park hosts event for Paws and Stripes
By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent
According to Jennifer Rojek, the cost to put one veteran and dog through the Paws and Stripes program is $2,500. Paws and Stripes provides service dogs for military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. On April 7, noon to 3 p.m., The Abington Dog Park and a volunteer group from Marywood University will sponsor a fundraiser, “Operation: Tails for Troops” to raise money for the organization, which trains canines rescued from shelters. Professional service dog trainers teach the dogs and veterans as a team, as noted on pawsandstripes.org. Rojek said their goal is to raise $2,500, and if they exceed their goal, they plan to make a donation to the Abington Dog Park, S. Abington Township, and a local Veterans’ hospital. “The fundraiser idea started back in the fall when I came across articles about how successful service dogs can be for mental health issues,” said Rojek, a graduate student in the counseling department at Marywood University and student service coordinator
for her chapter of the national counseling honors society, Chi Sigma Iota. “I was looking for a project for our group for the spring semester, as we are servicebased. When I came across the Paws and Stripes website, I knew instantly that it would be a great opportunity for us to make this our next goal. ” Rojek got the ball rolling with the help of Nina Pero, chapter student president; Marywood University student veteran alliance, and campus ministry. “…We heard about how nice the Abington Dog Park is, and it came up at one of our meetings that maybe they would let us hold the event there. I contacted the dog park representative Marie King, (dog park organizer) and she was thrilled about it and hence the partnership began.” Marywood students will volunteer their time at the event. Dress your pup in a patriotic costume and he or she will be eligible to win a prize for the most patriotic, cutest and funniest get up.

Celebrating American Girls
By eliZaBetH BaUmeiSter lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
When Rachel Ezrin was younger, she loved playing with her American Girl dolls Molly and Kaya and reading all of the American Girl books. “I was your typical American Girl doll fan,” she said. She is now a senior at Abington Heights High School and although she no longer plays with dolls, she still shares a love of American Girl with kids who are fans today. That is one reason why she, along with Emma Musto and the Teen Leadership Committee at the Abington Community Library, are organizing an American Girl Celebration for all fans of American Girl. The celebration will be held at the Abington Community Library April 28 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend, and all girls are invited, whether

they own an American Girl doll or not. A raffle in which one person will win Saige, the newest American Girl doll, is underway at the library’s circulation desk to raise money for the Teen Leadership Committee. Girls who attend the celebration will learn about different times in history through activities, refreshments crafts and more. For example, Ezrin said one American Girl character, Rebecca, is Jewish and grew up in 1914, so there will be a Jewish snack to taste and a Jewish song to learn during the event. Ezrin said her favorite time period in American History is the early 1700s because she loves learning about Native American culture and history. She said the best thing about American Girl is “they teach history in a way that is exciting and relatable to the young girls who read these books.” AbINgTON JOurNAl/ElIzAbETH bAuMEISTEr
This American Girl doll, Saige, is currently up for raffle at the Abinton Community Library in conjunction with the Teen Leadership Committee’s upcoming American Girl Celebration April 28. Raffle tickets, available at the library’s circulation desk, are $2 for one or $5 for three.

How To Make Your Own Journal
Jennifer familetti Dalton Community Library Program Coodinator
What you need to get started: • 2 pieces of cardboard (the front and back of an empty cereal box works great) • lined paper • a pencil • markers or crayons • yarn or ribbon • glue or tape • scissors • choose a cover: wrapping paper, The Sunday Comics or plain white to decorate • hole punch
BOOKMARK By mary ann mcgratH Abington Community Library children’s librarian
Check out these new titles on the shelves at the Abington Community Library. Children’s Fiction for ages nine and up
Instructions:
Start by making two pieces of cardboard the same size. One is used for the front cover, the other the back cover. Use glue or tape to cover each cardboard piece separately with your choice of wrapping paper, comics or plain paper. After, take some lined paper and cut it the same size as the covers. Use as many sheets as you like. Then, place all papers and covers in this order: bottom cover facing down, next all the lined paper and on top, put your front cover facing you. Next, line up the left sides of all papers and covers. On the left, use your pencil to mark three places where you will make holes- one hole toward the top, one in the middle and one toward the bottom. Keep the papers and covers lined up on the left, and make the holes with a hole punch. If you need help, ask a grown up. The last step is to take yarn or ribbon and cut three pieces about 7 inches long. Put one strand through each hole and make a loose bow. Keeping it loose will provide enough room for the pages to turn. You can decorate your front cover with any final touches you may like. Enjoy and have fun using your journal!

Hosted at Marywood University, the full- day event is also broken into small groups to allow students to get an interactive experience with the surviors where they can hear stories and ask questions. Director fo the Holocaust Education Resource Center Tova Weiss commented on the impact of this event, “They hear the voices of children who went through different experiences who were close to their age.” Weiss explained why this event is geared toward the younger generation, “They’re the ones that will be leaders of the future, and they’re the ones that can carry knowledge into the future.” She added, “One of the things that they can take from this is the under-

Hey Arnold!
The 1990s was a decade of experimentation of society and culture. From cartoons to fashion to music, some of the most iconic styles and songs came from the last decade of the millennium. While I was born at the end of the decade, its culture heavily influences my life, as it does most teenagers. There is so much to take in from the 90s, from tamagotchi to scrunchies to easy bake ovens, but these are my top three personal favorites: Doc Martens: Effortlessly cool, Doc Martens became the “it” shoe of the 90s. Grunge was a key trend in fashion. Plaid shirts and Docs made the tough -girl look. “Rugrats”: cartoons were huge then, mainly because the cartoons of that decade are debatably the best. “Ren and Stimpy” “Hey, Arnold,” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” are examples of simple, yet clever shows that make you want to pull out the VCR. Any song on the Top 100s chart of the decade: “Creep” by Radiohead, “Wannabe” by Spice Girls, “Tearin’ Up My Heart” by NSYNC, and “Wonderwall” by Oasis are a few noteworthy tracks. Personally, I think the 90s are underappreciated. People don’t realize how much culture, technology and societal development came from those ten years. The Internet progressively developed and new ideas came into society—ideas that pushed the boundaries of “normal” and gave people an opportunity to use their voice. If you take nothing away from the 90s, just remember, at one point or another you were dancing to Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch’s “Good Vibrations.”

Get to know your grandparents By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent
Do you love to listen to stories told by the “older folks” in your life? Perhaps while you were riding along in the backseat of your grandparents’ car, you may have heard your mom and dad, grandma or grandpa ramble on a bit about how different life was when they were kids. They might have said, “When I was a kid, we didn’t have computers, so we played outside most of the time.” Or, “Not everyone had a car, so we walked into town if we needed groceries.” If you have spent any time wondering about life back in the days when your mom, dad, grandparents, aunts or uncles were growing up, now is the time to ask questions. “Catch the stories before they are gone,” is advice Dennis Martin, local historian offers to kids who enjoy listening to family stories and are curious about life. Martin resides in Clarks Summit and was the vice-chairperson of the Clarks Summit Centennial Committee in 2012, and has also spent countless hours interviewing local residents about their
memories of life in the Abingtons. He has collected information through research at the Lackawanna Historical Society, Scranton and through oral interviews. “A lot of kids want to know about what their grandparents were like when they were kids. They love stories…And then you start to think, ‘Gee, things haven’t always been exactly as they are now, and maybe they won’t always be the same way.” During an oral interview with a woman from Dalton, who grew up in a home without internal plumbing, Martin recalls hearing, “I was talking to a woman from Dalton and she described how there were three girls in the family and there were three major chores. She talked about how they divvied them up and rotated the chores. One of the chores was to empty the chamber pots (bed pans). She said that was not one of their favorite ones.” Another bit of information he uncovered through research is people would think nothing about walking two to three miles with their friends to go to a candy shop. “This was a walking community and they walked everywhere. You can learn a lot (about life), if you listen,” When you have a chance to sit down and inter-
view someone in your family, remember to ask a lot of questions and be a good listener. Martin offers examples of questions you can ask. When you were my age, what was it like? Where did you go to school? What was school like? What did you do after school? Did you and your friends get together after school? What did you do during the summer? What was life like for a kid in those days? Did you have part time work? Did you have chores? “As an interviewer, I try to keep away from the person as much as possible. Let them tell the story,” he said. Once you have completed your interview, share stories with your friends and consider recording the information in a journal as a keepsake for future generations.

Hi I’m Mariah Mancuso. I always wondered what school was like a long time ago. I sat down with my grandfather Samuel Mancuso. He’s had a very exciting life so I asked him questions about when he was in elementary school. He went to Benjamin Franklin School in Carbondale. Here is my interview with my grandfather: Mariah: What were schools like when you were my age? Sam: It was challenging and fun Mariah: Describe your classroom to me. Sam: The desks were single. There were two classes in one room. There were 15-20 students in each class. Mariah: What did they serve for lunch? Sam: We didn’t have a cafeteria, we had to go home for lunch. Mariah: What was your transportation to school? Sam: I walked to school. It was 1 mile. Mariah: How long were you in school? Sam: The same as today, 6 hours Mariah: Have subjects changed from what you know? Sam: Yes, a lot. We had math, English, history, physics, geography and typing Mariah: Did you play any sports in school? Sam: Yes, I was captain of the football team. Mariah: Has schools changed over the years? Sam: Yes you get a better education. They have upgraded.

CAN YOUR SETTLEMENT BE TAXED?
When you have settled your personal injury case out of court and receive money for enduring pain and suffering, the amount is not taxable because it is not income. However, reimbursement for out-of-pocket lost income may be liable for income taxes. Moreover, if you received money that reimbursed you for out-of-pocket medical costs for which you took a deduction on you income taxes, you may also owe taxes on those amounts. If there is not clear differentiation between the reimbursments for medical bills, general damages, and lost income in a lump sum award, the tax question may be open to interpretation. If your settlement is made confidential by a provision in the agreement, you may face tax consequences. Before you need to worry about paying taxes on your settlement, you need to win it. That’s why you need to call Amil M. Minora. I have years of experience with all aspects of personal injury law, including car and truck accidents and slip-and-fall cases, and I will work hard to get you the money that you deserve. I’ll even discuss the tax implications with you. And remember, I’m happy to take these cases on a contingency basis, which means you don’t pay until you win. Please call (570) 961-1616 to schedule a free initial appointment to discuss the merits of your case. My address is 700 Vine St., Scranton. I’m here to help. www.minorakrowiak.com HINT: If you took no medical deduction on your income taxes, no taxes are owed on the medical reimbursement portion of the settlement. Amil M. Minora, Attorney at Law

Arts are alive in the Abingtons By AdriAne Heine Abington Journal Correspondent
A number of Abington Heights students were honored March 23 at the annual Regional PTA Reflections Awards Ceremony at the Mid Valley Secondary Center in Throop. The National PTA Reflections program was developed in 1969 to encourage students to explore their talents and express themselves. The program inspires students to reflect on a specific theme and create original artwork. This year’s theme: “The Magic of the Moment.� Each year, students in kindergarten through Grade 12 are recognized for bringing the theme to life through dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Region 16 is comprised of 48 local PTAs from Lackawanna, Wayne and Susquehanna counties. Winners at this level were first selected as winners from the pool of submissions from their school, then their district and finally, in the region. Following the regional decisions, those who placed first, second and third moved on to compete against other regional winners in the state. Roy Slavin, a fourth- grade student at South Abington Elementary, was the only area student who won at the national level this year. He came in third in the country for his

They can do trash to treasures, recycled art projects. It will also include face painting and a clown. “We need to get the children involved because it’s their world, too.� According to Lawler, the switch the single stream recycling in the borough has paid immediate dividends. “It’s been fabulous,� she said. “We’ve increased the tonnage of our recyclables by 300 ton because it was so much easier for people to understand. They know to put their recyclables out every
week. Our numbers increased. We can recycle from 1-7. I see such excitement.� While commercial recycling is lagging a little bit behind, Lawler is happy with the progress. Artisans Alley is another new feature.“We’re inviting artists to display their work,� Lawler said. “If there are any artists out there that would like to be a part of the Artisans Alley, they can call Patty at 587.4099.� The borough has been awarded additional grant money from their performance and efforts through Earth Day and the recycling of the phone books. “We were awarded with a $17,000 project grant. One of the things we will be able to purchase in the spring is bigger recycling containers with wheels to make it easier for residents,� added Lawler. “ I’m so grateful to the people because to get the grant from the recycling, you need the whole community going in the same direction. We just need to continue to do what we do best: recycle.�
OLP students win at Forensic Spring finals
According to Lawler, the borough is asking for a “humble donation� from vendors: $10 for Clarks Summit residents and $20 for nonresidents. “We’re hoping to buy a gently used bucket truck than can be used to put the holiday lights up,� she said. A basket raffle rally will also give the borough a monetary boost. Also as part of the Earth Day Celebration, the borough is offering a discount on parking permits.“If you purchase a parking meter for April for the regular price of $30, you can buy a permit for May for $10 as a gift to our residents, merchants, and landlords,� Lawler said.

The festival includes a total of 15 foreign and independent films, many of which Jenkins said are about music. “We have ‘Quartet,’ about a group of retired musicians who are shaken up when a new diva arrives,” she said. “We have ‘Amour’, which features a married couple of former music teachers in their 80s trying to cope with life when one has a stroke - and this was the Academy Award winner for best foreign film. Also showing this festival is the Oscar winner for best documentary, ‘Searching for Sugar Man,’ about a very talented musician, toiling in obscurity in Detroit, who has no idea he’s bigger than Elvis in South Africa. And we also have ‘A Late Quartet,’ about musicians dealing with the imminent collapse of their group on their 25th anniversary when their cellist discovers he’s in the first stages of Parkinson’s disease.” Matinees, in addition to evening showings, will be held every day of the festival at 2 p.m. Film festival tickets excluding opening night are $8 for matinee shows before 6 p.m.

Henry Johnson was part of the 369th Infantry Regiment, a group of black soldier the U.S. military assigned to France because the military was segregated in those days.

Johnson, France awarded him its highest military honor, the Croix de Guerre with gold palm. The United States military, however, did not award Henry Johnson any medals following the battle. “He was just an ordinary guy who loved his country who did an extraordinary thing,” Tara Johnson said. “Because he was an African American, he went unrecognized.” He died in 1929, but it would take decades before Henry would receive official recognition from the military for his service. Hope surged during President Bill Clinton’s term, thanks to the efforts of family members, historians and admirers. Henry Johnson received the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in battle in 1996. But when President Clinton left office in 2001, the Johnson patriarch had not been honored with the Congressional Medal

of Honor. Supporters believed his exploits deserved a medal for acts of valor. As Clinton’s second term drew to a close, hope faded. And with a new administration assuming office, the process had to be started anew. “Somewhere in that transition (between the Clinton and Bush administrations) it got lost in that shuffle,” said Morena Walker-Howe. Her late husband John Howe, a veteran and an historian, was one of Henry Johnson’s most ardent advocates. Howe contacted the Johnson family and since they have worked together for their hero. . Howe, an historian and decorated Vietnam veteran, found Herman A., who was living in Missouri, after researching the elder Johnson’s military exploits, and the two worked together to draw attention to the man, whom Morena Walker-Howe described as one

of America’s “unsung heroes.” In 2003, Henry Johnson was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest military honor. Buoyed by this commendation, his supporters hoped they had a stronger case for the Congressional Medal of Honor. Since thenthe military has not elected to award or deny Henry the Congressional Medal of Honor. “I know the red tape, and I know how long the government takes,” Herman R. said. “But it’s a shame, it’s a shame.” “We’re kind of in a holding pattern,” Walker-Howe said. “We don’t know what the holdup is.” Last year, Sen. Schumer’s office released new information it had unearthed, and the senator has drafted a petition to bolster the case for awarding Henry Johnson the Congressional Medal of Honor. The John-
sons, Walker-Howe and others have circulated the petition. The petition states that Sen. Schumer’s office has unearthed new documentation, and the senator submitted 1,300 pages in a recommendation to the military. The recommendation includes a chain of command endorsement from General John Pershing, WWI US Commander of the U.S. Forces in Europe; an eyewitness account of Henry Johnson’s brave actions during the battle from Pvt. Neadom Roberts, the soldier whose life Henry Johnson saved; a letter from his commanding officer, Colonel William Hayward also detailing the event and more.

South Abington sewer contract in final stages By Gerard NolaN Abington Journal Correspondent
SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. South Abington Twp. hopes to award a contract for its sewer line project, set to begin in the summer, as soon as it irons out final legal details. Sikora Brothers Paving, Inc., of Hunlock Creek, submitted the lowest bid at $2.67 million, according to David O’Neill, township supervisor. The supervisors voted unanimously to express intent to award the contract at a meeting March 25. The sewage project start date has not been set, but will begin after South Abington Elementary School closes for the summer. The project is expected to take six months to complete and will cover the area behind the school, the park (which will close for the summer) up to the intersection of Venard and Willowbrook roads. “We feel everything’s moving forward,” O’Neill said. South Abington supervisors said work on the sewage system will include a township project to replace two pump stations with a more cost-effective gravity line. The Abington Wastewater Authority will work in the area during the same period. In related business, the supervisors discussed a grant application the township will submit to improve the South Abington Park. The township will put up $50,000 for some “preparatory” work this summer and then $100,000 in improvements next year in hopes that the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) will match that sum. “There’s going to be a lot of competition for this grant money,” O’Neill said. “We’re hoping that our park will secure some money.” The grant is due April 10 and will be used for new equipment and paving at the park. The supervisors agreed that pre-project and post-project photos be taken. In other business, officials from Rep. Tom Marino’s office and State Rep. Marty Flynn will hold business hours in the township building. Marino’s office will be at the building, 104 Shady Lane Road, every Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m; Flynn’s office each third Wednesday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon.
Waverly to apply for training grant By BrittNey Pierce Abington Journal Correspondent
WAVERLY TWP. - Waverly Township plans to apply for a new grant by March 28. The PennPRIME Grant is available to its customers each year and can be used for procedure training, equipment and servicing equipment. If awarded the grant, township manager Bill White said at the March 25 meeting he would like a “confined space entry” class set. A confined space class would teach the procedure policies on entering and exiting small spaces dealing with municipality work, for example a manhole. Along with the class, White would like to see a gas meter to be purchased. A gas meter would read levels of hazardous gas from a confined area. After a meeting with Airgas, supervisor Thomas Durbin presented the list of safety recommendations for the wastewater treatment facility. The important issues: keeping the cylinders for the wastewater treatment facility separate from each other; transporting them and changing cylinders. A new dolly will need to be purchased and Personal Protective Equipment such as hard hats, gloves, face shields and coveralls. A recommendation was made by Durbin to purchase the equipment and make the changes.

Murray named MVP By Tom RoBinson Abington Journal Correspondent
ARCHBALD – T.J. Murray did much of his scoring from close to the basket during a championship season that included a run to the state quarterfinals at Abington Heights. When he ventured away from the basket for the Comets, Murray often took on the role of passer. The Lackawanna League Boys Basketball All-Star Game allowed Murray to show some different offensive abilities. Murray shared Blue team scoring honors and earned team Most Valuable Player honors during a 101-87 loss to the Red March 26 in the seniors-only game at Valley View High School. “It was great to get out of a system a little bit,” said Murray, who hit three 3-point shots while scoring 13 points. “It’s fun and you get to play with some great players.” The Red, coached by Lakeland’s Dave Rosencrans and including three Chiefs on the roster, dominated much of the game. Murray played a big part in the second-half push that allowed the Blue to briefly make the game competitive late. The Red opened leads of 29 points three times midway

Lions, Comets expected to contend By Tom RoBinson Abington Journal Correspondent
Lackawanna Trail is the defending champion and Abington Heights is one of the early leaders in Lackawanna League high school boys volleyball, which got underway last week. The Lions have many new faces on their roster after going 13-1 last season, then beating Western Wayne in a playoff to determine the league title. Abington Heights has a new coach in Jamie Spangler, but three returnees helped the Comets go 2-0 to finish the first week in a three-way tie for the league lead.

The Abington Heights High School baseball team finished last season with a 7-8 overall record (7-7 in Lackawanna League Division 1) and despite losing several key players to graduation, head coach Bill Zalewski believes they can be a factor in the division. “I think we can be very tough,” he said. “They are a very, very hard working group and a real tight group of kids who hang out off the field and push each other to be better players.” The Comets returning starters include senior shortstop/pitcher Kevin Elwell, senior second baseman/pitcher Dante Pasqualichio, senior outfielder Josh Slocum, sophomore pitcher/ outfielder Tyler Ksiazek and junior pitcher Dave Manasek. Other retuning players who should see significant playing time include junior first baseman/designated hitter Justin Porpiglia, junior catcher Scott Salmon, junior pitcher/outfielder Brad Smertz, junior infielder/pitcher Matt Heckman and sophomore pitcher Zach Manasek. Zalewski thinks the team’s versatility can play into their favor. “A lot of guys are duel-position players,” he said. The Comets must replace catcher Connor Pacyna, third baseman Brandon Pacyna, first baseman Eric Montella, outfielder Jerry Burke, pitcher/ third baseman Jason Subasic, pitcher/ first baseman Robbie Eyre and catcher Nico Surace. Abington Heights will open its league season April 3 at Scranton Prep at 4:30 p.m. Lackawanna Trail Lackawanna Trail Lions finished last season with a 13-4 overall record and defeated Old Forge to win the District 2 Class A title.

The Abington Heights Comets returning starters include senior second baseman/ pitcher Dante Pasqualichio, shown, senior shortstop/pitcher Kevin Elwell, senior outfielder Josh Slocum, sophomore pitcher/outfielder Tyler Ksiazek and junior pitcher Dave Manasek. Head coach Todd Peters expects juniors Jon Zedar and Brian Tuft to contribute as pitchers/outfielders, sophomore Cooper Rosiak is expected to start at catcher and sophomore Jason Guthrie should see time at third base. Sophomore Jared Phillips will be in the mix at first base, junior Brian Kearney will see time in the outfield and Billy Lee at second base. “A lot of our guys don’t have a lot of experience, but I expect them to work hard and start gelling together,” Peters said. “We lost some big arms off our pitching staff, so we definitely have to play good defense, catch the ball and score runs when we have the opportunity. Whether it’s hitting, bunting or stealing bases, we have to play every aspect of the game well in order to win games this year.” The Lions will begin their league schedule April 4 at home vs. Susquehanna.

with a 7-8 overall record (7-7 in Lackawanna Division 1) and were defeated by Nanticoke in the first round of the District 2 playoffs. They return senior right fielder Chris Gaetano, senior center fielder Jim Graziosi, senior third baseman Matt Sompel, senior first baseman Mark Fetter, senior pitchers Jake Stafursky and Alex Anzelmi, junior second baseman John Joe Gustin and junior catcher Nick Preston. The team must replace shortstop Brian O’Donnell, left fielder Mike McDonald and designated hitter Fran Notarianni. Ross had been impressed with the development of several players since last season. “We’re really happy with senior outfielder Ryan Gerrity and some of the kids coming up from junior varsity, including sophomore Dan Ryan, who may begin the season as the starter at shortstop, and junior Seth Stafursky, who may see action at multiple positions,” Ross said. Ross is hopeful that the wealth of experience returning this season will pay dividends on the field. “We have a pretty strong nucleus coming back with six starters and our top two pitchers,” he said. “We will miss the leadership of the seniors who graduated, but expect others to step into that role. “We’re cautiously optimistic and expect to compete in every game.” Ross was satisfied with the effort in the team’s first scrimmage against Riverside. “We did some good things, but we also have some things to work on,” he said. “Our pitchers threw strikes for the most part and our hitters got some pretty good at-bats. “We can swing the bats a little bit and we can run a little bit.” Scranton Prep will open its league schedule April 3 at 4:30 vs. Abington Heights at home.

Dalton Sauder, a former Abington Heights student athlete has finished his high school football and wrestling career by accomplishing a very unusual feat—winning three state championships in one year. In the middle of his sophomore year, Dalton and his family relocated to Anchorage, Alaska where he found an immediate home with the football program at South Anchorage High School. As team captain, Dalton helped lead the South Anchorage Wolverine football team to a state championship over Service High School. The Wolverines were state runner-up last year to the Service Cougars and had a regular season loss so the victory was especially sweet in the state final this year. He was also named the Alaska State Defensive Player of the Year for football. Coming off a state championship in football, Dalton decided to wrestle even though he had not wrestled since his freshmen year at Abington Heights. His many years of junior wrestling with Summit Wrestling Club and the coaching he received in junior high and one year of high school must have stuck with him as he dominated the 195 pound weight class. Posting an impressive season record of 32-1, he lost only one match all season which came in the first tournament of the year to the three time small school state champion. In the large school state championship he finished first place and helped lead his team to a first ever team state championship for the Wolverine wrestling program. Dalton plans to attend Eastern Washington University and continue his football career.

Presenting the award in honor of the late Karen Hoyt are her husband and son. Shown, from left: Jay Hoyt, award recipient Maura nealon and Matt Hoyt.
Hoyt Spirit Award recognizes spirit, resilience, sportsmanship Abington Heights junior girls basketball player Maura Nealon was awarded the 1st annual Karen Hoyt Spirit Award at the Lady Comets team banquet March 24. The award is in memory of Karen Hoyt, a 1979 graduate of Abington Heights High School. She went on to graduate from Keystone Junior College and also attended The University of Scranton. Her husband, Jay, and two daughters, Jordan and Lauren, also graduated from Abington Heights. Her son, Matt, is currently a senior. Hoyt died this past May in a car-related accident. She was a member of the Lady Comets Booster Club for four years and served as president for two years while daughter Lauren played for the team. She was also very active in the parents’ clubs for Jordan’s track team and Matt’s soccer team. “She loved attending her children’s sporting events and was without a doubt one of Abington Heights’ biggest supporters and cheerleaders
for all of the players,” friend Kathy Colombo said. This award serves in memory of Hoyt and is meant to remember her spirit and kindness. It’s given to the player with the following attributes: love for the game of basketball, sportsmanship, resilience in the face of adversity, a positive attitude (even when sitting on the bench), leading cheers, kindness to all including the opposing team, supporting her teammates and contributing to the team concept in every way. The Lady Comets dedicated their season to Karen Hoyt by writing her initials were on their team socks to honor her throughout the season. “Karen was an incredible mother, wife and friend,” Colombo said. “Karen’s smile, kindness, and spirit will always be remembered. The entire Abington community was blessed to have known Karen and she is missed every day. The world truly is a brighter place because Karen was in it.”

Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum was the scene of the largest art theft in history more than 20 years ago, a crime that is still unsolved. Based on the true facts, novelist B. A. Shapiro spins a tale of forgery and fanaticism in “The Art Forger,” a new addition to Adult Fiction at the Abington Community Library. The book is available also in the Large Print edition. As the story begins, one of the stolen Degas paintings, taken during the famous heist, is delivered to the studio of a young artist, Claire Roth, who, because of circumstances, makes her living reproducing famous works of art for an online retailer. A powerful Boston gallery owner hires her to forge the Degas painting, but as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece may itself be a forgery. Claire begins a search for the truth about the painting’s origins and finds herself in a desperate race to save herself from incrimination. MORE NEW ADULT FICTION “Gods and Beasts,” by Denise Mina.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe to Clarks Summit
By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
For many young—and young at heart— fans of PBS television show “Mister Rogers Neighborhood” who long to travel into The Neighborhood of Make-Believe, that dream may soon come true through music and storytelling. The Arts at First Presbyterian Church 2012-2013 season’s final session, “Jazz for Kids,” will be held April 7 at the First Presbyterian Church, 300 School St., Clarks Summit, at 4 p.m. This free event, open to all ages, will feature live jazz renditions of compositions by the late Fred Rogers, creator of the TV show. The concert’s lineup of musicians will feature Rev. Bill Carter, pastor of the church, and the Presbybob Quartet, along with regional musicians Marko Marcinko on drums and Tony Marino on bass; Erin Malloy on vocals and Jeff Stockham, who was recently featured as a musician in the Academy Award-winning film “Lincoln,” on trumpet and French horn. A special visit will be made by Mr. McFeely from the TV show, as played by David Newell, who, along with some puppets from the show, will share stories with those in attendance. He will also be available for meet-and-greets with the children after the concert. “The idea originated in my mind after Mr. McFeely (David Newell) and I did a joint program together last July in the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum,” said Carter. “We hit it off immediately, and I thought it would be a great thing to bring him to ‘our neighborhood’…I thought it would be a lot of fun to bring together a group of NEPA’s amazing jazz musicians, all for the benefit and delight of children and those who love them.” Newell expressed equal enthusiasm about the event, saying concerts like it are important for families and reflect the ideals of Fred Rogers’ career. “It’s exposing children and adults to different types of music,” he said, adding that all are welcome, as it is a community event, not a religious one, despite the location. “It will be a nice little concert for young and old,” said Newell. According to Carter, the event will be highly participatory for the children, who will receive the best seats up front. “We want to make this a very accessible event for children,” Carter said. “The music
will be lively and positive, with lyrics on a child’s level of understanding, and rhythms that will set everybody’s toes to tapping.” There is no charge and no tickets required for the show, which is made possible by a Lackawanna County Arts and Cultural Grant, a Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts grant and gifts from individual donors. Those who wish may bring donations of slightly used or new sweaters for a sweater
drive in honor of Fred Rogers and his famous sweaters. The clothing, according to Carter, will later be shared with those who utilize the St. Francis Soup Kitchen in Scranton. Newell explained many sweater drives have been held at similar events, and throughout the years, over five million sweaters were collected so far. “It all goes back to representing Fred Rogers,” he said, “and his reaching out to children and families.” Mr. McFeely (played by David Newell) and Rev. Carter perform together at the Pittsburgh Children”s Museum last July.

GUEST so well-known and audiences have certain expectations of how the character is played. “The voice is a big part of it. There’s a lot that goes into it,” he said. “Beauty and the Beast” tells the story of Belle, an intelligent young woman scorned by townspeople for being a bookworm and dreaming of escape. But when Belle’s father gets lost in the woods and captured by the frightening Beast, a oncehandsome prince turned into a monster by a witch, Belle goes to his aid. The Beast agrees to release Belle’s father if she agrees to stay with him forever. Belle is initially disgusted, but comes to appreciate the Beast’s hidden, tender nature. Gabby said the role of Belle is challenging, but she is well-prepared thanks to her directors. “I’m nervous but really honored that Mrs. Moyles and Mr. (Daniel) Marx (the musical director) have confidence in me and have really encouraged me.” Gabby and Kris said one of the most demanding aspects of their roles is the singing. Neither has experience singing in front of a crowd. “I sing in the car, but nothing like this,” Kris said, laughing. “But Mr. Marx really worked with us and helped us so much. And they’re good songs; when you like the songs it’s a lot easier.” Gabby said, “Mr. Marx has really worked with us. He’s unbelievable.” She said the singing aspect adds pressure, but she’s confident she will excel. “I can do it,” Gabby said. The production will mark 62 for Mrs. Moyles. “My joy is seeing the students grow, not only as performers, but as people,” she said.
