KIDS Club: fun on an elementary level
Once the bell rings to signal the end of the school day, it can be difficult for some parents to find a safe place until they return home from work for their children to stay. Members of the Clarks Summit Elementary PTA (Parent Teachers Association) felt there was a need for supervised activities at the school and worked quickly to fill the void. “The after school program derived from many parents asking for other programs and activities to be offered after school,” Clarks Summit Elementary PTA President Lisette Kozar said. “Many parents were wanting to have a program where their kids could go to a safe place to play, socialize and have fun with their peers. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon, other Abington personnel, and Principal Kevin Rogan, Cathy Wickenheiser, Amanda O’Dell and myself coordinated all of our efforts and put the program together in a matter of just a few months. With all the support of the parents, we were able to pull it off.” O’Dell was thrilled to be a part of the new program. “One of the other local schools, Waverly Elementary, has an after-school program called ‘Club Waverly,’” she said. “My daughter, Madeline, is a kindergartner here so I thought, being a new parent, that it would be great to have a program in our school as well,” Amanda O’Dell said. The club currently offers Zumba and checkers on Wednesdays and art and LEGOs on Thursdays from 3 to 4:15

A.H.S.D. expects first budget pass May 15 CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights Business Manager James Mirabelli presented the school board with a draft for a proposed $45,507,083 budget for the 2013-14 school year, resulting in a deficit of $2,522,472. According to Mirabelli, health care costs are expected to rise by 10.5 percent, an estimated $1,528 more per employee than the previous year. The PSERS Retirement Contributions will also cost an additional $984,000 next year and there will be a $100,000 spike in expenses paid to the Howard Gardner Charter School in Scranton. Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon spoke about the possibility of making additional staff cuts by not replacing vacant positions. “We’re losing great people,” he said. “This year, we have three elementary school retirees, one English retiree, one middle school retiree and one guidance retiree.

p.m. There are 90-100 students involved within the four activities this year. The cost is $25 per activity. “They all have been equally as popular,” Kozar said. “They all filled out within the first three minutes that we opened up our signups.” The organizers had to curtail the number of participants due to high demand. “We limited it to about 20 to 25 kids per activity and once we reached that number, we closed off registration for the current year,” Kozar said. The club will likely have several new activities added next year. “We’re talking about doing yoga, an etiquette class, possibly Spanish and American sign language and bowling,”

Johnson echoed that sentiment, adding that the mayor’s role is to act as a liaison between council and the police department. Johnson, a Vietnam veteran, has focused his campaign on ensuring that residents feel safe in the borough. He touted his 30 years in law enforcement and emergency management, including chief of security operations at Tobyhanna Army Depot, as important assets he would bring to bear if he were elected. Johnson said he would focus on “getting out to the public and letting them know that our police department is there to help,” he said To that end, he said he would institute programs such as bike safety for the youth, keeping seniors educated on new scams and seat belt checks to ensure driver safety.

C.S. council tables assault rifles for police vehicles
Page 3
‘Downtown Go Round’ By JoAn meAd-mAtsui Abington Journal Correspondent
By AliAh RosemAn Abington Journal Correspondent
CLARKS SUMMIT-At the May 1 Clarks Summit borough council meeting, the council tabled buying three assault rifles to be installed in the vehicles. “I’m trained to qualify everyone,” Chief Joseph Laguzzi. Councilman Herman Johnson asked, “The only question I have, is do we have money for it, seeing as it wasn’t budgeted? I have no problem, I support that 100 percent. But do we have enough money in our finances for it?” “That is a big issue, because we didn’t budget,” Council President Gerrie Carey said. “The money was not budgeted. But we’ve also had some income this year that was not budgeted. So the question is, how do you want to allocate this?” Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe said. The assault rifles would cost about $4,000. “Well, back to the question. Like I said before I have no problem with this but I think this should be tabled and proposed to the finance committee to see if we can afford this,” Johnson said. Johnson questioned the legalities of using funds raised through recycling efforts for this purpose. “I would feel more comfortable if we researched this.” Laguzzi said in light of the national events in the past few months, he wants the police force to have every opportunity to prepare. “I agree, this past year it just seems like no one was expecting the Boston incident, the Sandy Hook, it’s just getting close to home. That is the reason we are doing all this extra training and trying to be prepared. I’m not saying something is going to happen here and I hope it never does, I just want my guys to be ready,” Laguzzi said. “If we can do it great, I’d appreciate it but I understand the financial aspects.” “I will put this in front of the finance committee,” Kehoe said. The motion was tabled and will be revisited during the May 5 meeting. In other business, Councilman David Jenkins made the motion to appoint Joe Krott as the new EMA. Councilman Dominic Scott seconded the motion. Council approved the installation of a 40 -gallon water tank in borough chambers. The tank, which offers hot water, will cost under $1,000. Building and plants line item of the budget will fund it. During Earth Day, $1,500 was raised in sponsorship. Alicia Vogel’s first grade class at Clarks Summit Elementary School is the recycling champ of 2013. Among the items collected: more than 100 medicine bottles, 52 bulbs, 12 pounds of ink cartridges and 20 pounds of batteries. Council approved: * resolution 2013-08 records destruction, * resolution 2013-09 Route 6 Byway, * resolution 2013-10 meter suspension for Abington Business and Professional Association Customer Appreciation Day. Steuart Bailey came before the council on behalf of the VFW Post. He sought clarification on sewage billing and how much the group should pay as a nonprofit organization. Kehoe explained the calculations of the bar and dining area at the VFW on behalf of Patrick Lavelle, an engineer, with whom she meet earlier. Lavelle measured square footage of the dining area to determine its capacity and gallons per day of water required. Roy Davis was absent from the meeting.

Second Friday featured artist Leon Viera enjoys painting every day images.
‘Pleasant to view’ By JoAn meAd-mAtsui
Abington Journal Correspondent
Clarks Summit artist, Leon Vieria is 60 years young and enjoys painting “pictures that are pleasant to view.” “Every day images that are easy to enjoy,” Vieria added. He paints using oils as his medium and is the featured artist at the Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk on May 10 at Weezie’s Corner, 116 Depot Street. He started drawing when he was seven-yearsold, and as an adult he has pursued his art through private and group lessons with local artists. Vieria said of his collection of art he will exhibit at the art walk, “I have no favorite, I like them all. Sometimes I’m happier with the look of one more than another but
I do like them all.” He has mostly exhibited his art at Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk venues and has done some commissioned work. In addition to finding Vieria’s art at Weezie’s Corner, other participating venues include A1 Gold, Lawler’s Affordable Elegance, Paulette’s Pretty Purses, Cloe & Company, Everything Natural, Mama Mia’s and B&B Art Gallery. This month’s after party will be held at Weezie’s Corner beginning at 8pm. Art walk hours are 5 to 9 p.m. For more information, contact Charles Charlesworth, Arts Council of the Abingtons, at ffnepa@ epix.net.
Member of the Clarks Summit Arts Committee, a newly formed non-profit arts organization under the auspices of the Abington Professional and Business Association, invite anyone with a passion for art and music to see what’s new at the downtown Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk May 10. “Downtown Go Around” will be held in conjunction with the art walk, and Mari Walker and her fellow committee members explained the group’s mission is to bring all forms of art into the art walk, offering eventgoers an evening of family fun through art, music and local seasonal vendors. She said, “In an effort to increase the foot traffic for the art walk, we formed a committee to focus on other forms of art, as well as paintings, photos, etc. We are bringing live arts to our community each second Friday now.” Jaya Yoga owner, Hilary Steinberg, said, “We’re all passionate about showcasing the talent that’s here…people to sing and perform. It’s a ‘fun train,’ and it’s just starting to barrel down the tracks. Everyone is jumping on board and it’s not just about business owners; it’s about people who are involved in the community and who are bringing their ideas and their passions…” Monthly themes are planned and May’s theme is “Complements and Contrasts” with live musical performances at the Clarks Summit Borough Building

TEACHER Continued from Page 1A director upon Cassandra Devine’s retirement and Kira Coviello, who is a professional performer. “My mom has touched so many young people’s lives,” said Jaclene Devine. “She has taught all of us who danced with her not just about dance but about confidence, poise, grace and a dedication to hard work: Life lessons that we will all carry throughout our lives.” Cassandra Devine said after deciding to be a dancer, as she grew older, she continued working toward that goal. She spent a summer at the American Ballet Theater School in New York City, then continued studying under her mentor, area dance teacher Constance Reynolds. Next, she studied from Queens University, Ontario, Canada, in preparation for the exams at the Royal Academy of Ballet, London, England, where she later passed the exams and became a member. At age 18, she opened her first two dance schools—one in Dalton and one in Moscow. In 1965, she was married and moved to Parsippany, N.J., where she taught dance for nine years. She then moved to Florida, where she taught at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale. She returned to the area in 1976 and has now taught dance in Waverly for 37 years. “This career has been very rewarding to me in many ways,” she said. “I’m one of the lucky people who found something they love and earned a living doing it.” She said one of the best aspects of teaching dance is “watching the children progress from little three-year-olds to lovely men and women, many of whom have careers in dance.” “But even those who don’t have a career in dance,” she added, “feel they have gained grace, poise and confidence.” She said her studio, Devine School of Dance, located in the Waverly Community House, currently has about 125 families enrolled. About 200 of those students will perform in her final recitals Cassandra Devine, left, will retire after May 19. Her school, will move into the hands of her daughter, Jaclene Devine, right.
From left, seated: Sophie Boland, Emily Kuhle, Caroline Speicher; standing: Gemma Bistran, Stella Pennay. All will perform in the Devine School of Dance “Silver Screen Spectacular” recital May 19 at the Abington Heights High School at 2 p.m. May 18 at 7:30 p.m. and May 19 at 2 p.m. in the Abington Heights High School Auditorium. The performances, titled “Silver Screen Spectacular,” are open to the public and tickets will be available at the doors. The teacher said she hopes to welcome back many previous students to the recitals. Six of her eight grandchildren and three greatnieces will offer a tribute performance in her honor during the recitals. Grandsons Zach Smith, 14, Carson Smith, 11 and Avery Smith, 9, will play “So Long, Farewell” from “The Sound of Music,” on the cello, viola and violin. Dancing to the music will be granddaughters Molly Devine, 9, Clare Devine, 8, and Grace Devine, 5, along with great nieces Skylar Conway, 13, Chloe Conway, 9 and Olivia Conway, 4. She said she is proud of all her students, including her family. “I am especially proud to leave you with my talented daughter, Jackie,” she wrote in the farewell message, “who has worked by my side for the last 30 years, first as my demonstrator, then as an instructor, and finally as my partner in this enterprise. It is not every parent who has the satisfaction of seeing her life’s work continue with one’s offspring; in this—as in my whole charmed career—I am one of the lucky ones!” “This recital,” she continued, “as my final production, is, of course, bittersweet. To all my students, past and present, I will hold the joys that you have given me in my heart forever.”

S. Abington completes wave of agressive driving campaign By AliAh RosemAn Abington Journal Correspondent
Between March 18 and April 28 the South Abington Police Department completed Wave 1 of an aggressive driving campaign, according to Officer Henry Zimmer. A grant from National Highway Safety Traffic Administration entails the department to put different details together to prevent aggressive driving, ranging from speeding violations, reckless driving and careless driving in highly traveled areas. National Highway Safety Traffic Administration was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 and is dedicated to achieving the highest standards of excellence in motor vehicle and highway safety, according to its website nhtsa.org.The $1,600 grant allowed four officers to enforce a traffic enforcement zones operation. “A problem with our department especially, a police officer is supposed to go out and enforce traffic, but there are times when you can’t because of the volume of calls coming in. So, on these specific details, when you have that extra money to bring in a few guys, they are out there and their specific assignment is to enforce traffic laws,” said Officer Henry Zimmer. During wave 1, 143 drivers were pulled over. Of those contacts, one seat belt violation was issued; 88 speeding citations, nothing under 20 mph over the speed limit in a 35 zone was issued; four obedience to traffic control device, no points assessed to license, which is anything from speed limit signs ignored; two suspended operators, 27 verbal warnings, 28 issued warnings, one drug arrest and one arrest for a felony warrant. A buckle up program will be administered between May 20 and June 9 and emphasize more on seat belt violations. “Our main focus with the operations we set up is to ensure the public that we will ensure their safety to the best of our abilities,” Zimmer said.

Keystone students pitch in at the park
Keystone classmate to address graduates Commencement activities at Keystone College May 18 will take a twist as one of the members of the Class of 2013 will also be the keynote speaker. William H. Bender, senior vice president of Wealth Management at Merrill Lynch in Scranton, will address graduates and their families at Keystone’s 142nd annual commencement at 2 p.m. on Bailey Field. Bender will also receive a bachelor of science degree in business. Bender has been active at Keystone for several years. He served as a member of the Keystone College Board of Trustees from 2000-2008 and was chair of the board from 2008-2010. He attended The University of Scranton and The University of Pittsburgh and recently returned to Keystone to complete requirements needed for his degree. He holds a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification, a Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and is an Accredited Retirement Plan Consultant (ARPC). “May 18 will truly be a special day for me as both Keystone commencement speaker and as a Keystone graduate,” Bender said. “I’m looking forward to speaking from the heart to my fellow classmates and receiving my own degree as well.” A lifelong Scranton resident, Bender is founder of the Bender Wealth Management Group at Merrill Lynch on Lackawanna Avenue in Scranton. Other members of the firm include William Bender II, Melissa Bender Simrell, Dustin J. Bender, Maria Sordoni, Kathleen Buck and April L. Novack. In addition to Keystone College, Bender has served as chairman of the board of the Lackawanna Chapter of the American Red Cross. He is a former board member of St. Joseph’s Center, WVIA and the Scranton Cultural Center. He has also served as president of Scranton Tomorrow. This year’s commencement marks the final one for Keystone President Dr. Edward G. Boehm Jr. Dr. Boehm is stepping down as president after 18 years, the longest presidential tenure in the history of the college. He will become President Emeritus and will be succeeded June 1 by David L. Coppola, Ph.D. as 10th president. “We look forward to welcoming Bill Bender back to campus not only as a former board chair but also as member of the Class of 2013,” President Boehm said. “It will be an exciting day and an especially memorable one for me as I preside over my final Keystone commencement after 18 wonderful years as Keystone’s president.”

It’s really great to see everybody in the cast work together to make something as special as this production.” Elisa Yanni, sixth grade, will portray an orphan who acts mean. “I’m mad my parents left me,” said Yanni. O’Malley who began working at the second in September 2012, said, “I’m looking forward to everyone doing a great job. They (the actors) are really good in their roles and what they do.” The actors at the Clarks Green school have been rehearsing since January when auditions were held for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.

Local 10- year- old on a Mission When 10 -year -old Abi Reilley from Nuangola was told she was too young to volunteer on the farm at Marley’s Mission she didn’t give up. Abi decided she could still help the Mission, a local non-profit which uses equine therapy to treat children and families who have experienced trauma, by creating and selling her signature Treatz. Abi, a fifth grader at Rice Elementary School, started riding this past summer. Her mother Darlene said,“Abi has always loved animals and has frequently visited and brought treats to the local SPCA. She really took to riding and when I suggested she look into Marley’s Mission she was all over it.” Marley’s Mission Volunteer Coordinator, Tara Iona, was impressed with Abi after reading her first email, “Abi sent a note saying she was a beginner rider, loved horses and wanted to help abused children.

the kids are so excited about it,” she said. “You can hear them talking about it during the school day. And I know the parents appreciate it too, because some are struggling with finding something for their kids to do right after school.” Kozar believes the camaraderie between the student is a key advantage. “They get to interact with not just kids in their grade, but also in older grades,” she said. “I think the socialization is a big component of the program.” Kozar enjoys seeing the joy on the children’s faces while they are participating in the program. “Just seeing the kids laughing and smiling, and getting along with one another,” Kozar said. “I think that’s great and it’s something fun for them to do with their friends.” O’Dell has received a lot of positive feedback from parents whose children are in the program and disappointment from those who missed the cutoff. “One of the most rewarding things for me to see is how
excited the parents were,” she said. “I’ve gotten calls after it was closed and I would use the word devastation that their child couldn’t get in. It feels like this should have been in place years ago.” “We couldn’t have done this without all the parents who volunteer because you can’t have 30 kids with one teacher, you need parents here, especially at this age, to help supervise.” There are 8 to 10 regular volunteers and they had no problem rounding up willing helpers. “We’ve got a lot of eager beavers,” Kozar said. Art volunteer Jennifer LaBelle jumped at the chance to help out with their program. “It was a great opportunity to volunteer and be with the kids,” she said. Her daughter, Cara, a fourth-grader, is a member of the club. “She enjoys learning about art and really likes painting,” Jennifer LaBelle said. Second-grader Sydney Degnon enjoyed getting some fresh air while creating a picture. “I like to look at nature and do all kinds of fun staff,” she said.

Continued from Page 1A to be evaluated at Child Study Team, New Jersey. They said John was developmentally delayed and was placed in a multi-handicap preschool class. Between the ages of 3 and 4, John was still nonverbal, so his mother started communicating with him through sign language. When John was about 6, his signs started to change to words. Music became a big part of John’s life and remains so. Kathleen would constantly sing to him and used music as a form of communication. Music has followed the now 21 year-old: he is a member of the Pacific Ballet Theater with a deep passion for Broadway. He is a senior at Marywood University and participates in the Student On-Campus Achieving Results. Early advocacy In 1997, when Kathleen Walsh and her family moved to this area, she said there was very little opportunity for inclusion. “My first IEP (individual education program) with the business office and use this as the beginning step of incredible revenue. “My vision is to take our AEIO Development Director, Tom McHugh, and use him district wide.” According to Mirabelli, the business office sent out second notices to tax payers who had not paid their tax bill as of Nov. 15. Starting on Dec. 1, those will outstanding bills would receive a 10 percent penalty. “As a result, our tax collection rate went from 92.9 percent to a high of 94.6 percent,” he said. “This is important because if you applied that number to the prior year, we would have taken in an additional $359,000. Vice President Warren Acker reported that the Facilities Committee reviewed bids on proposals for a consultant for the pool, tennis court and fields projects. “The committee’s view in both cases was to look at which consultant was going to give us the best price given the unknown situation,” Acker said. “We really need to explore the options, so we looked for a consultant that had a lot of experience in the field and would be able to give us the best answers and hopefully put together bid packages.” The board voted 8-1 to authorize administration to engage Architerra, P.C. to provide engineering and architectural services for the purpose of repair and/or replacement of athletic facilities including tennis courts, track and athletic fields. The board voted 9-0 to authorize administration to engage Aquatic Facility Design, Inc. to provide engineering and architectural services for the study and upgrade of the Abington Heights High School natatorium for $25,300.
meeting, I asked why John wasn’t getting music, gym and art and they said it was because he had autism and they didn’t get those things. That is what made me launch PLCTA and start advocating for better opportunities. It wasn’t an easy road,” Walsh said. It took 10 years of advocacy to get John what he needed. “A parent has to fight very hard for those (an educational aid TSS worker). It doesn’t come natural. A school district doesn’t say ‘Let’s give him an educational aid, let’s give him occupational therapy three times a week, speech four times a week.’ It’s not the way it works. The parents has to educate, know their rights and ask for the support the child needs.”
“One thing you learn when you’re child has any disability. You must be educated and you must advocate,” Walsh said. Parents Loving Children Through Autism has three goals. First, it provides support and encouragement for families raising children with autism. Second, education. The group hosts meetings, workshops and training to bring the latest information available to families. Third, PLCTA provides a place where each child will be accepted, according to its website plcta.org.

Samantha, who acted as a mini teacher, said their mother. “I couldn’t ask for better siblings for him. They are his biggest cheerleaders,” she said. The mom of three said the most difficult aspect of a mom raising a child with autism is making her other children feel as important and as loved as their brother, who required so much attention. She feels that their brother’s autism has made Samantha and Kevin more compassionate. “When you live it, you know it, you understand it,” Kathleen Walsh said about her family. Changing lives She offered advice to parents of special needs children, “The day you find out your child has a disability of any nature will appear to be the worst day of your life. But with hope and love anything is possible. There are many others that have experienced and learned that you make new dreams for your child. Each milestone your child reaches will help you through the hard days.” A child with autism has made Walsh more courageous to stand up and take on people in power. “I don’t wish, I inspire.” it all. “Time is my biggest enemy,” she said, “and keeping everyone going in the right direction can be difficult.” She feels she is usually prepared, however, and tries not to make things harder for herself by being unprepared. Her advice to other busy mothers and new or expecting mothers is “Don’t panic—it will all work out. Have patience and trust yourself and all will fall into place.” She said the advice from her mother, “You’ll know what to do. Don’t worry,” always helped her, especially right before her first child was born. She said the joys, however, outweigh the trials. “I’m extremely lucky to be a mom and have three girls. They’re great kids,” she said, adding they help her, rarely complain and enjoy the same things she does.

Revenue focus of C.S. Council race
Stability on council a focus among candidates
The three republican candidates running for one two-year unexpired term on Clarks Summit Council agree on at least one point: The borough needs to generate additional income. Dominic Scott, who was unanimously appointed June 26, 2012 to fill the seat after the resignation of former councilman Donald Moyer, is up against previous council member Robert Bennett, who resigned in 2009 to accept a job with the U.S. Census Bureau and M. Vincent Cruciani, a land representative at Williams and owner of Washington Healthcare Billing, LLC. Scott said he’s been a Clarks Summit resident since age eight and graduated from Clarks Summit High School. He’s a Korean War veteran and active member of several community organizations, such as the VFW Post 7069, Our Lady of the Snows Church, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Social Services, Friends of the Abington Community Library, Rotary Club of the Abingtons and more. He said he serves as Council Chairman of the Civil Service, Finance and a member of the Personnel and Union Negotiation Committee, and believes the most important issue facing the borough is its limited finances. “The Finance Committee builds a budget and all items are discussed,” he said. “Each expenditure is reviewed. We are constantly looking for additional sources of revenue. We applied for and received a Grant from the state for a new police car. Advertisements will be available for sale on our police and DPW cars and trucks.” Scott added he also donates his council pay back to the community. Bennett is a Vietnam War veteran and an active member in

the community, including organizations such as Odyssey of the Mind, Knights of Columbus and VFW Post 7069. He also agreed on the importance of taking care of borough finances, and said the way to do so is not by cutting things out of the budget, but looking for ways to better stretch the funds that are available and bring in additional revenue. “There is a way in which you can better spend your money,” he explained.”It’s not that anything is being done wrong; The question is, can we do the same with less expenses?” He gave an example from when he was previously on Council and helped save money by negotiating a better deal on an insurance contract. Another example he gave involved exposed gas lines that he was able to persuade the company to place bars around for safety at no expense to the borough. Cruciani, the youngest of the candidates at age 30, said he represents “a new generation of leadership that will bring fresh ideas and a new perspective to the borough.” “I plan to use my education and experience in negotiations, business and law,” he said, “to diligently review all issues that come before the council in an effort to avoid short-sighted decisions and create a lasting prosperity for the borough. I will always favor the interests of the borough taxpayer over the special interests of a few.” He echoed Scott’s and Bennett’s concerns for the borough
finances, stating, “the most important issue facing our borough is remaining financially solvent.” “This is especially difficult,” he said, “because of the debt we incurred through poor decision making over the last decade. We need to rigorously pursue paying off this debt without creating a further burden on law-abiding taxpayers.” One way he plans to accomplish this, he said, is by making the effort to collect revenue from delinquent taxpayers. Cruciani added another issue of concern to him is homeowner rights. “We must also address the series of unnecessary regulations that have been placed on the people of the borough,” he said, “particularly on residential property owners. While safety concerns must be considered, we must not unduly restrict the rights of the homeowner.” Running for three four-year council terms are democrat Gerrie Fitzgerald Carey, current council president; democrat Jim Klein; democrat Patrick Williams, current councilman; Bennett and Cruciani. Carey, 70, was born and raised in Clarks Summit, living the past 47 years on Gladiola Drive, where she and her husband raised four children, Hutch, Mary Ellen Berry, Rick, Colleen and five grandchildren. She has served on Council for four terms from Vice President to President. She said she enjoys “working with our devoted council members on numerous projects and issues, seeing them to comple-
and Police Pension Board. Married to Kenneth Drake, she has two children Darrell and Wendy Sandly, and five grandchildren. “My plans are to be “customeroriented” and yet collect taxes in a timely and efficient manner. All tax records will be reviewed and updated regularly using 21st century methods and procedures,” Drake said. Judy A.

tion.” Carey discussed the current state of the borough, “Our borough is made up of a large percentage Senior Scott Citizens, who we respect their fixed income. Our Earned Income Tax, due to the economy, has been decreasing, thus leaving us with the only option to brainstorm and find new sources of revenue, while keeping our services in place. Raising taxes is never an option. We have been very successful with J.P. Mascaro, in securing our garbage contract with no increases, and our new single stream recycling, which has almost doubled for recycable revenue. That is due to all our conscientious residents’ good efforts in getting our tonnage up, bringing in more revenue.” Klein, 72, resides in Clarks Summit, where he has lived for almost 40 years, with his wife, Elizabeth. They are members of the Our Lady of the Snows parish, and raised their children, Kathleen and Christopher, in the Borough. After teaching at Manhattan College, Iona College, and Fordham, he accepted a position at the Penn State Worthington Scranton Campus. He retired from Penn State after 36 years of service and currently holds professor emeritus status at Penn State. He said, “It was a pleasure to work with the students and teachers in our community in their science endeavors.” He and his wife are serve on the board of the Friends of the Abington Community Library and various Friends committees. “Clarks Summit is a wonderful community, and I would be proud to serve our community as a member of the borough council.”

The high volume of recent turnover within the Clarks Green Borough Council is a major issue among candidates vying for the positions. Democrat Alan F. Hughes was appointed and has began serving council in January 2012. He’s most proud of the council’s ability to make a seamless transition for handling the collection of sewer bills in-house. “We migrated the collection of sewer bills from the Pennsylvania American Water to collection in- house. It was a very complicated transition for a small borough. The credit goes to former finance chair Jill Shanrock, who unfortunately had to resign in July 2012.” Hughes was then appointed as finance chair and was pleased to be able to work well together with council member Lynne Earley on crafting the 2013 budget. Hughes hopes that Clarks Green continues to be able to support the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board. “The Abington Area Community Park and new turf field are great for folks of all ages to enjoy,” he said. Democrat David J. Rinaldi was appointed to council in August 2012. He is most proud of the fact the council was able to hold the line on taxes on last year’s budget, due to a $3,000 surplus from the previous year.
Rinaldi is hoping for consistency within the Council during the next term. “There had Barresse been a lot of resignations on council and that was one of the reasons I applied,” he said. “One of things I conveyed in Rinaldi the interview process was that I wanted Council to have some stability.” Repulican Joe Barrasse currently serves on the Clarks Green Zoning Board and would also like to see more stability on the council. Barrasse is also opposed to several recent proposals, including putting a bike path on Fairview Road. “I think it would be a death trap for some children,” he said. “That proposal prompted me to become more heavily involved. According to Barrasse, he is familiar with many of the council members and believes they can accomplish some good things down the road. “I could care less if they are Democrats or Republicans, but we can’t have 50 percent of council changing every year or two,” he said.
mAyor Continued from Page 1A He said he would work to ensure that departments like the police, the Department of Public Works and fire department work “hand in hand” to protect the borough in times of emergency. He added that he wants to lower taxes, make sure the borough budget is sound and institute an open door policy so residents can go straight to the mayor with any concerns. Lawler’s plan is to focus on commerce. She vowed to work toward the creation of a chamber of commerce for Clarks Summit merchants. Lawler, a retired school teacher and a business owner and TV show host, wants to help the businesses in the borough band together and offer incentives to shop there, including a senior discount day a few times a year. In addition, she hopes to continue programs like the borough’s Earth Day celebration to foster a stronger sense of community. She said she would continue her efforts to make the borough more sustainable with recycling programs. “We’re a small town, only 1.9 square miles and 5,000 people,” she said explaining that it would be easy to bring the community closer together. Lawler added that she intends to keep taxes low and ensure that borough residents feel safe.

Under the Sea
“The Little Mermaid, Jr.,” is set to be performed on May 17 and 18 in Tunkhannock. BY Arielle KovAliCh Abington Journal Correspondent
The classic under the sea adventure, “The Little Mermaid Jr.,” is set to be performed May 17 and 18 in Tunkhannock. The Wyoming County Players’ Junior Players and Little Hams will be performing this spring musical at Whipple Performing Arts Studio and will include a cast with much variety. Students from six local school districts, including home schoolers, ranging in age between 6 and 19, will be included in the cast. The “Little Mermaid Jr.” follows the classic Disney story of a mermaid, Ariel, played by Jackie Clark, who lives under the sea with her father, King Triton. Ariel strives to know what life is like up on land, and after an evil deal with an octopus, Ursula, played by Amanda Hirschler, Ariel travels to the top of the ocean to satisfy her curiosity. While on land, Ariel meets a handsome man, Prince Eric, played by 19 -year -old Eddie Baumeister, who is the first human that she meets out of the ocean. Ariel’s popular undersea friends will also make an appear- ance in the play to follow her on her journey, including Sebastian the crab, played by George Sobeck, Flounder the fish, played by Amelia
Comly and Scuttle the seagull, played by Jenna Saxe. “Guests will enjoy being part of the underwater world when they enter the studio,” said choreographer Kim Whipple about the upcoming performance. The studio has decided upon “The Little Mermaid Jr.” after the response of a previous performance in the local area. “We had done ‘The Little Mermaid’ for the Lackawanna Trail Elementary Center years ago when they had a successful drama club and the kids really enjoyed it,” said Whipple. Directed by Ron Whipple, the performance features actors with varied experience, from those making their first debut on stage to performance veterans who are moving onto college-level theater. The spring musical showcases the students’ talent for singing by including popular songs from the movie, such as “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World.” In addition to learning the songs for the performance, the cast had to spend a significant amount of time rehearsing to learn dance steps and choreography to animate the story. “The cast has been practicing since early April for the show,” said Kim Whipple. Both days of the performance will take place at 7 p.m. as well as a 2 p.m. matinee May 18. Tickets for the performance are $8 for general admission, children 5 and under are free. Whipple Performing Arts Studio is located at 602 Hunter Highway, Suite 20, in Tunkhannock. Tickets can be purchased at the door and more information can be found by calling 570.836.6986 or visiting www.wyomingcountyplayers.com.

Coming from a family of stonemasons, experiencing their materials, ultimately led Kuratnick to his creative development. As a ceramic artist with a focus on creating fluid forms, intuitive mark-making has led motion and rhythm to visually command his work, along with his obligation to allow the ebb and flow of his personal experiences to physically manifest. For Lick, the simplicity and ease of digital format has made photography much more interesting and has enhanced the uniqueness of her work. It allows her to express her creativity through the eye of the camera and to show others, her eclectic views of the

To quote Aldo Leopold from his book “A Sand County Almanac,” “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot. These essays are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot.” Little did he know that his writings, published after his death, would shape how we view conservation policy, science and land ethics today. Over two million copies of “A Sand County Almanac” have been printed and it has been translated into twelve languages. Tonight, May 8 at 7 p.m., please join us for a book discussion on A Sand County Almanac at the Tunkhannock Public Library. Bob Daniels will facilitate this free discussion. Then Saturday, May 11 at 11 a.m., we will be showing the documentary “Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic For Our Time” at the Dietrich. A Q & A will follow the film and you will have the opportunity to visit environmental organizations’ displays in the theater lobby after the movie. Admission is free. Tickets will be available by calling 570.996.1500 or at the door while they last. Then Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m., we will present a movie and book discussion at the Tunkhannock Public Library on “Green Fire” and “A Sand County Almanac.” This discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Peter Petokas of Lycoming College. This is my first time reading A Sand County Almanac and I am awed by how poetic it is and how relevant it is to today. Speaking of poetic writing, the Dietrich will be presenting Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” live on stage Sunday, May 19 at 3 p.m. Come see an 80-minute original text adaptation of this classic love story performed by the Gamut Theatre Group of Harrisburg. Following the show, the actors will stay for a talk back session with the audience. This will be the sixth year the Gamut Theatre Group will be performing for us in Tunkhannock. Admission is free. Tickets are available by calling 570.996.1500 or at the Dietrich ticket booth while they last. Don’t miss out.

Dietrich Theatre to host ‘Aldo Leopold: A Movie and Book Experience’ According to the Dietrich Theater, in Tunkhannock, everyone interested in conservation of our beautiful landscape will want to see the movie “Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for our Time” at the theater May 11 at 11 a.m. This free showing will be sponsored by area conservation agencies. It will be complemented by two book discussions of Leopold’s classic book “A Sand County Almanac” Wednesdays May 8 and May 15 at 7 p.m. at the Tunkhannock Public Library. One of Aldo Leopold’s primary messages that is conveyed in the film is that the oldest task in human history is to live on a piece of land and not spoil it. The film Green Fire shows how his land ethic emerged and evolved. Six decades after his death, Leopold has much to teach us that is relevant today. “A Sand County Almanac” has spurred an appreciation of environment no matter one lives. He is considered to be the most important conservationist of the last century and the father of the national wilderness system. His mission has had an impact on our consciousness, as did the mission of Rachel Carson. One of the book discussion leaders, Dr. Peter J. Petokas, is a Freshwater Ecologist and Research Associate with the Clean Water Institute at Lycoming College in Williamsport. He earned his Doctorate in Ecology from Binghamton University and a Master of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Management from the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. His research interests include the study of amphibians and reptiles, conservation biology, vernal pool and wetland ecology, fish ecology and the restoration of streams and watersheds. Dr. Petokas said, “Aldo Leopold died the year I was born, and yet everything
he taught me through his writings still resonates today in my worldview of the environment and how I envision myself as an environmental steward. I always try to ‘think like a mountain’ when evaluating environmental threats. Even now, Leopold’s lessons need to be reconsidered in light of the emerging environmental threats of global warming and the extraction of natural gas, bio fuels and wind energy.” The film “Green Fire” describes the formation of Aldo Leopold’s idea, exploring how it changed one man and later permeated through all areas of environmental conservation. The film draws on Leopold’s life and experiences to provide context and validity, explores the deep impact of his thinking on conservation projects around the world. Through his example, the film challenges each of us to contemplate our own relationship with the land community. According to Dr. Petokas, “I have used

Leopold’s ‘A Sand County Almanac’ as an instructional device in college teaching for many years. Students of environmental science are often lacking a historical perspective on the environment, viewing it only as it is today. Leopold’s writing takes them on a journey that explores the history, meaning, and poetry of environmental conservation. I invite you to spend an evening or two with Bob Daniels and I, exploring the poetic writing of Aldo Leopold.” Bob Daniels is a former science teacher at Tunkhannock Area High School. A graduate of Albright College and Penn State’s Public Health traineeship grant program, he is an expert on bird banding and woodcutting. He remembers when woodcocks were prevalent in the area and has had memorable experiences encountering them, as did Leopold who wrote, “The woodcock is a living refutation of the theory that the utility of a game bird is to serve as a target, or to pose gracefully on a slice of toast.” After experiencing the woodcock’s remarkable skydance, Leopold wanted to be sure that its survival is assured. The movie showing and discussions are sponsored by: Countryside Conservancy, South Branch Tunkhannock Creek Watershed Coalition, Lower Tunkhannock Creek Watershed Association, The Overlook Estate Foundation, the North Branch Land Trust, the Endless Mountains Heritage Region and the Dietrich Theater. Learn more about these environmental organizations through their displays at the Dietrich, before and after the movie. Reservations for “Green Fire” free movie tickets are available by calling the Dietrich Theater at 570.996.1500 or can be picked up at the ticket booth. Call the same number to register for the book discussions at the Tunkhannock Public Library.

Newcomer sets four state powerlifting records BY Kevin KearneY Abington Journal Correspondent
Abington JournAl/Kevin KeArney
Dalton LaCoe practices the deadlift at the Abington Heights field house.
Abington Heights junior Dalton LaCoe joined the high school’s powerlifting team in March, halfway through the season, with no experience. In April he set four state records as his team placed second at the Pennsylvania State Coaches Powerlifting State High School Championship in Glen Mills near Philadelphia.
“I kind of surprised myself because I didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to do my best,” said the 17-year-old, who has KlippelFeil syndrome, a bone disorder present from birth and characterized by the abnormal joining of two or more spinal bones in the neck. Abington Heights powerlifting coach Claude Welcome was not surprised by Dalton’s immediate success. Welcome has high expectations for his team’s new addition,
as Dalton will have the offseason to train and be prepared for a full season next year. “I guarantee you he’ll be a national champion next year,” the coach said, referring to the competition to be held in Texas. The prediction is perhaps not too hard to believe, considering Dalton’s instant achievements. The newcomer took the records in the state competition’s Junior-Senior Division’s 114-pound weight class. He set the new bench-press mark

Chiefs dominate Relays BY ToM roBinson Abington Journal Correspondent
SCRANTON – Lakeland posted the highest winning score of any of the four high school champions while winning the Class AA boys title of the Jordan Relays May 2 at Memorial Stadium. The Chiefs finished first among Class AA teams in four of six events, while placing second and third in the other two. Scranton Prep won the Class AAA boys championship. Abington Heights had its six-year title run in Class AAA girls end when it fell just short against Pittston Area, 42-40. Lakeland produced its second big win in three days. The Chiefs beat Dunmore in a battle of unbeaten for the Lackawanna Track Conference Division 3 championship earlier in the week. “The biggest concern was coming off of that meet on Tuesday,” Lakeland coach Art Davis said. “We had a tough meet with Dunmore. It was a day later than it was supposed to be. “The kids were gassed. It was all heart from them. They really came through.” It started with the opening race, the distance medley relay where Davis knew Lakeland would face Rico Galassi of Holy Cross running half of the race’s 3,200 meters. Mark Arzie, Casey Albino, Brandon Newberry and Nathan Morgan formed the winning combination, setting a meet record in 8:13.86. “We wanted to keep it out of the hands of Rico Galassi,” Davis said of one of the state’s top distance runners. “We tried to get a big lead for Nathan in that last leg. “The guys did a good job and we were able to hold him off.” Arzie and Albino each were part of three wins for Lakeland, which also took the 1,200 sprint medley, 3,200 relay and 1,600 relay. Morgan was part of two wins and a second-place finish in the 1,600 medley. Newberry, Zack Krieger and Gavin O’Donnell were on two winning teams. Tim Hackenberg and Garth Estadt were each on one.

Abington Heights gave Valley View its toughest game of the season when it faced the Lackawanna League Division 1 leader three days earlier. With another shot at a division leader on their home field May 2 the Lady Comets came up short, giving up two big innings in an 11-5 loss to Wallenpaupack. “Defensively, it was probably the worst game we’ve played all year,” Abington Heights coach John Kelly said, after his team allowed 12 hits and six unearned runs. “Early on, we made a lot of mistakes. “We’re counting on a lot of young players and, sometimes, you’re going to get those mistakes.” The Lady Comets are tied for second place in Division 1, behind only Valley View, which has not lost a game before the state semifinals in the last three seasons. The two meetings with the Cougars resulted in 3-0 and 4-3 losses, giving last year’s state semifinalists
their toughest competition of this season. Abington Heights was unable to produce such a challenge against Wallenpaupack. “It’s just inconsistency,” Kelly said. The Division 2-leading Lady Buckhorns scored four times in the top of the first inning, then added six more in the fifth after the Lady Comets had closed within 5-4. Alex Dequerioz did her best to try to get the Lady Comets back in the game. She was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and three RBI. “Alex has been hitting the ball very well,” Kelly said of Dequerioz, the team leader in hits and batting average. Dequerioz had a tworun double in the bottom of the first to cut the early Wallenpaupack lead in half. She added a lead-off double in the fourth and scored the run that cut the deficit to a run. Her RBI single in the bottom of the sixth produced the final run. Claire Lakotas worked two hitless innings in relief, striking out three while walking two.

Lakeland piled up 54 points, 20 more than Dunmore. Lackawanna Trail was third with 18 points. Scranton Prep edged North Pocono, 39-36, for the Class AAA boys championship behind wins in two of the three medley events. “We kind of talked to the kids about whether we were going to load up certain events, what we were going to go after,” Scranton Prep coach Steve Shumbres said. “We kind of strategized a little bit about trying to win the team title, loading up the medley, seeing if it worked out for us and it looked like it did.” Mike Brier covered half the distance in the wins by the Cavaliers. He ran the anchor legs, covering 1,600 in the distance medley and 800 in the 1600 medley relay. “Mike Brier ran awesome,” Shumbres said. Rock Magnotta, Evan Evanish and Pat Marino were also part of the 1,600 medley win and each contributed by running in three events. Pat Feeney, Anthony Nardone and Torre Scrimalli joined Brier on the distance medley win. Abington Heights placed
seventh with 18 points. The Abington Heights girls won two events and finished second in two others while posting the highest score of any of the four second-place teams. Kesley O’Donnell, Ally Christman and Jessica Kurey were part of both wins. Isabelle Clauss joined them in the 400 relay and Jess McMinn was part of the 1600 medley. Erin Jaeger and Jen Burke were on both second-place teams. They were joined by Missy Burke and Michaelina Holmes in the distance medley and Katrina Helcoski and Tianna Yarns in the 3,200 relay. Scranton Prep was third with 28 points, with help of a third-place finish by Kate Reilly, Emily Carr, Samantha Youngfelt and Mary Lundin in the 3,200 relay.

Dalton also won a meet at Abington Heights and another in Jim Thorpe during his abbreviated season. At the first meet he deadlifted 400 pounds. “And not even with much effort,” Welcome said.

Turf field ready to weather any storm By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent
Mike Hargrove described the new turf field, or synthetic surface, at the Abington Area Community Park/Hillside Park as “outstanding.” Hargrove, Abington Area Joint Recreation Board member representing Clarks Summit and Abington Youth Soccer League vice president, said of the project, “Both from the players’ perspective and spectators’, parents and families that have been up there (at the field), said they are happy to be able to play in all kinds of weather. They (contractors) did a great job,” said Hargrove, who thanks the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board, Michele Breslin and the Clarks Green Borough Council for their help. He also noted the field provides an opportunity for constant play. “We obviously have to be careful about creating “wear” spots… and it will take some maintenance over time, but it’s the fact that you don’t have to be careful about getting out on the field and playing, because it’s not going to take the punishment that natural grass takes,” he said. “It brings me back to being in about third or fourth grade and looking out the windows as it starts to drizzle, saying ‘Are they going to cancel the game and are we going to get to play?’ We know now that a little bit of rain isn’t going to stop us from playing…or rain on Thursday isn’t going to stop us from playing on Saturday. It’s pretty exciting.” The project cost approximately $900,000 and was funded through grants and donations and according to Abington Area Joint Recreation Board chairman, Bill Risse, was “devised as a design-build, fixed -price project to protect against cost overruns. Amenities include the field and lights, subsurface and wetland engineering and mitigation, legal costs, project management costs, insur-
ance, design and construction of paved handicapped access sidewalks, parking and NPEDS permit…The project did not cost local municipalities anything but cooperation.” Risse thanks Senator John Blake, County Commissioners O’Brien and Wansacz, and the councils of Clarks Green and Clarks Summit, all of whom “participated in delivering grant funding for this overall project that includes Boundless Playground, handicapped accessible bathrooms and fishing pier and pavilion enhancements to the park recently. Thanks to Abington Youth Softball League and Junior Comets for coming together as a unified financial partner as well,” he said. The board also hopes to have an additional restroom building, signs and lake water circulator/fountain this year as well. A reservation system will be in place shortly for anyone who would like to reserve time on the field and a permit fee will be charged. “When it’s not being used, it’s open time,” said Hargrove referring to an agreement with the Abington Youth Soccer League and Abington Heights Junior Comets, who each contributed $150,000, and will have scheduled playing time. “Anyone can use it as long as they follow the rules and take care of the field,” said Hargrove. One of the rules includes no dogs or pets allowed on the field. Hargrove joked, “I’m sorry to say my dog was the first to be upset with that one (rule), but no dogs or pets will be allowed on the field, and no folding chairs, food, gum, tobacco…only water.” A grand opening will be held once work to areas surrounding the field has been completed.

He’ll lift for one or two days a week in the offseason, but now his main focus is baseball. When next year’s powerlifting season rolls around, Dalton will likely be the anchor of an already strong team. At this year’s state competition Abington Heights had another record breaker, Ryan Devine, who set a new benchpress mark of 235 pounds in the 148-pound division.
Birchwood Tennis and Fitness Club in Clarks Summit hosted a United States Tennis Association 18-Under Junior Team Championships.

U of S golf team caps undefeated season with win over Marywood The University of Scranton men’s golf team completed its best dual match season ever with a 316-347 victory over Marywood University April 23 at Glenmaura National Golf Club. The Royals finish the season 12-0, the third time they’ve gone undefeated. The 12 wins are the most in the program’s three undefeated seasons, surpassing Scranton’s 7-0 mark from 2006 and 10-0 record in 2011.

It was his seventh sub-80 round of the season and 24th of his career. Sophomore Erik Meyer (Clarks Summit/Abington Heights) added a 7-over-par 78 for his 12th round below 80 this season.

Scranton also received a pair of 88s from juniors Andrew Loyack (Greenfield Township/ Scranton Preparatory) and Kevin Kucharski (Hampton, N.J./North Hunterdon).

There were hats, hats and more hats bedazzled with feathers, flowers, ribbons and bows, ladies wearing dresses in every color under the sun, debonair men, and of course, vessels with blooming roses at the Voluntary Action Center’s “Run for Roses at the 7th Annual Kentucky Derby” party at the Waverly Country Club May 4. Under a brilliant blue sky, guests mingled and sipped Mint Juleps and other cocktails while the tunes of the Ron Leas Trio entertained in the background. Approximately 300 guests, including children, attended the party, according to Deb Moran Peterson, VAC executive director. Peterson said, “I think it was one of our most beautiful events- from the glorious weather to the creative decorations and the horses running in the background. It was a day to relax and just enjoy the sunshine, friendships, the wonderful food and gorgeous surroundings.” Madalyne Sunday, daughter of Dr. Michael and Katie Sunday, Clarks Summit, a sophomore at Scranton Prep was elected “The Queen of the Derby.”

SCOUTING SCENE Cub Scouts welcome new members April is a great month for Troop 160 because April is welcomed with warm weather and numerous scouting activities. One main activity was Troop 160’s annual shooting trip. This year, the event was held at Stann’s Grove in Ransom April 20. This trip is unique from others because the scouts were able to shoot .22 caliber rifles and 12 gauge shotguns all throughout the day. The scouts had fun practicing their skills or possibly learning how to operate a firearm for the first time. Beforehand, every scout attending the trip had to participate in two safety meetings during our regular scout meetings. We go over basic gun safety and proper handling. For many this is previous knowledge, but we review it every year in order to prevent accidents. If scouts grew tired of shooting, many played Ultimate Frisbee or explored the creek. The owners of Stann’s Grove were very generous to let us use their property for our shooting trip. This has been our location for the trip for several years and Troop 160 is thankful. The next Sunday, April 21, was the Cub Scout’s Blue and Gold dinner. Cub Scouts is a program specifically designed to build interest and prepare young boys for Boy Scouts. The last stage is Weblos II rank. After the completion of this, the boys cross over and become Boy Scouts. The Blue and Gold dinner is an official ceremony honoring the achievements of the Weblos II scouts. At this event, they formally transfer from Cub Scouts in Boy Scouts. They receive an Arrow of Light honoring their

completion of the Cub Scout program. Also there is a feast for all of the Cub Scouts to enjoy as they watch their oldest members cross over. This important event was held at the United Methodist Church in the Fellowship Hall. Lastly, April was concluded by the Pinchot Trail hike on the April 27 and 28. A group of 10 boys and four adults went hiking early Saturday morning. The Pinchot Trail is near the Pittston area in Lackawanna County. The trail was 10 miles long and broken up into two days. The scouts wore large backpacks that contained all of their gear and food. For most of the boys, this was their first backpacking experience. The Pinchot Trail is a nice hike which prepares scouts for more difficult hikes in the future. The scouts hiked with little difficulties and finished early. We had peanut butter and jelly pita pockets with granola bars for lunch. We hiked for several miles the first day and set up camp at Painter’s Creek. We played around the creek and set up an orienteering course. Overall, we had a lot of fun at our campsite. For dinner, we had spaghetti. It was cooked with small propane stoves called Jet Boils. These are portable stoves designed for backpacking. Sunday morning’s breakfast was Pop Tarts and oatmeal. On this day, we finished the 10 mile hike. Before we finished the hike, we visited an observation tower on Big Pine Hill. This was a scenic vista and had some nice views. Every April, a new group of Cub Scouts cross over into Boy Scouts. This period may be difficult, but Troop 160 assists these boys in their transition. We spend extra time with them in order for the Cub Scouts to feel welcomed. We organize one on one training sessions with them so they can advance sooner. Troop 160’s members are a family and work together. Remember a scout is helpful. Tyler VanGorder has the rank of Eagle in Boy Scout Troop 160 from Clarks Summit. He is a senior student at Abington Heights High School. For more information, visit troop160bsa. org.
