BY JO ANN WALCZAK Abington Journal Correspondent

Families of Justus have remained friends for generations, a rarity in transient American society, but amid modern tumult and change, there remains a constant: the solidity of longtime Justus relationships.

“My friends have always been with me in the good times and bad, in all of the ups and downs of life,” said Lynda Kashuba, a life-long resident of Justus.

Kashuba has discovered the beauty of friendships on Layton Road, and she has witnessed and tested the Biblical proverb that “in order to have a friend, you must be one.” Kashuba’s friendships began on Layton, literally, in the early 1950s and have spanned more than half a century. “I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” Kashuba said, and she never has.

Kashuba’s parents, Marshall and Ruth James, settled in Justus in 1950 in a small Cape Cod, rented from Howard Detty, near Mt. Bethel Baptist Church. When daughters Marsha, and later Lynda, were born, Marshall James designed their new family home which Detty built for them further down Layton. Lynda still lives in that house after a lifetime of married life with Larry Kashuba in their home near Justus Corners, the eventual death of both of her parents, and Lynda’s move

PHOTO COURTESY WAVERLY COMMUNITY HOUSE

“We’re bringing it down to the poles,” said Maria Wilson, executive director of The Comm, when asked if the whole playground is being renovated. Shown above are the poles in May 1990, when the park was constructed.

Investing in FUN

BY SHAUNA MCNALLY Abington Journal Correspondent

“Building a playground while building community” is the motto of the Playground Project at The Waverly Community House.

Board members and volunteers will be working together to rebuild the Robert S. Leathers playground from Aug. 24 to 28 of this year.

The Waverly Community House, also known as “The Comm,” was founded in 1920 by Margaretta E. Belin as a memorial to her late husband, Henry Belin Jr. The mission of the house is to “enhance the lives of individuals and families in the region by fostering educational, recreational and cultural opportunities.” The Comm consists of a gym, a library, a post office, a recycled clothes shop, meeting rooms, a preschool and last but certainly not least the Robert S. Leathers playground.

The playground first went up in 1990 in remembrance of Leslie Belin McCall. The playground is free and open to anyone, so after 20 years and thousands of children playing on it, it needs a restoration.

“We’re bringing it down to the poles,” said Maria Wilson, executive director of The Comm, when asked if the whole thing is being renovated.

The design reveal date is April 9. The playground is very unique looking. They are going to need a lot of help rebuilding it. Wilson said they are hoping for a thousand volunteers.

“The playground will basically look the same,”

said Melinda Ames, Special Events Coordinator at The Comm. “However it will have some new safety features and more access from the ground level.”

Robert and Christine Saunders are the chairs of the Playground Project.

Christine joined the board when they moved here five years ago. They are invested in the playground because of their two children, one seven and one six years old, who play there on a regular basis.

“It’s just a great asset to the community, and it benefits everyone. It’s a really great project that I’m happy to be involved with,” said Robert Saunders.

The project is expected to cost between $75,000 and $80,000 for a playground that is worth around $200,000. There are many fundraising projects set in motion to help cover the cost.

As Wilson said, “The people of the younger generation who are helping with the project are going to start Facebook fundraising.”

The Saunders’ children came up with “Party for the Playground birthday club.”

The idea is that whoever has a birthday from now until the time the playground is rebuilt will have a party and ask all the guests to make a donation toward the cause. Also, Sylvia Jenkins, head of the preschool at The Comm said that her students are doing a “Pennies for the Playground Project” where they ask everyone to collect their pennies and donate them. Jenkins has been the head of The Comm’s pre-

school since it began in 1984. She helped with the building of the original playground in 1990. She was in charge of childcare.

“Yeah, I saw the whole process. I think first they had a machine put all the poles in the ground and then they built from there,” explained Jenkins, “The kids just love, and I’m sure they’ll love it even more once it’s rebuilt!”

Donations can be anything from money to materials. To volunteer as a team or individual, contact Special Events Coordinator Melinda Ames at mames@waverlycomm.org or 586.8191 ext. 5. To make a donation, contact Lauren White at Lauren@waverlycomm.org or 586.8191 ext 3.

Upcoming events: include the May 14, Chalk Walk; May 18, Lego building competition; June 7, State Street Grill Event; July 28, Family block party, featuring “Mace In Dickson” Band and August 12, Annual Cocktails on the Court.

ABINGTON JOURNAL/SHAUNA MCNALLY

RANSOM TWP. - Architect Kunihiko Matsui, 50, of Ransom Twp., was one of many deeply affected by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, moreso due to the fact that members of his family live near the area of devastation.

Matsui is currently in the process of creating a way to help those back in his homeland; as an architect he is thinking of efforts to help in the rebuilding stages. And any help that can be offered is vital, with the total reported missing and deceased at more than 2.3 million, according to the Associated Press,Matsui, who is originally from Kyoto, Japan, still has family living there, including his mother, Reiko Matsui, who is in western Japan, aunt Tami Minowa and cousin Chiko Minowa in Tokyo. Once the earthquake hit, Matsui said he needed to contact his family to be sure that they were safe.

“I tried to call my mom, but couldn’t get through, so my wife Joan emailed my cousin, who called my mom. And then she finally called me,” Matsui said about the difficulties of reaching his family. He was contacted by friends and former classmates concerned

about the well -being of his family. “I wanted to go over to Japan and do what I could to help,” Matusi said. His friends told him they would like to help in any way they could.

Matsui speaks to his mother normally once or twice a month via phone.

Although she has e-mail, he said she does not check it often, which makes the phone the best way to reach her. Once he finally was able to reach her after the earthquake, her phone line was still not working correctly, which made it difficult to hear everything that she was saying. Currently the American Red Cross, as well as many other organizations, are taking donations to help those affected.

Schultzville Deli employee Lisa Newman sold the winning ticket and couldn’t be happier for the winning customer.

“I wish I could have sold it to me, but I sold it to a great guy,” Newman said.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated.

Schultzville Deli owner Lisa Zimmer also expressed her excitement for her small deli.

“We’ve had a winner before, but it wasn’t as much money as this,” Zimmer said. “We were hoping for a big winner and it came as a big sur-

‘Parenting with Purpose’

BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON Abington Journal Reporter

CLARKS SUMMIT Countryside Community Church, 14001 Church Hill Rd. Clarks Summit, will begin a six-week series “Parenting with Purpose” March 24.

The instructor for the event, Ed Crawford, is the executive director for New Hope Alliance. The Clinton Twp. resident said the series will take a look at families and that one focus of the courses is on the influence that parents have and the choices their children make Crawford said he has dealt with families in crisis throughout his career. He has a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a master’s in guidance and counseling.

Reverend Doctor JeanPierre Duncan from Countryside said he invited Crawford to host the seminar after he discovered Crawford taught courses on parenting.

The original idea to host courses first came about through the Educational Nurture Team at Countryside. They wanted to put together an adult studies session that would feature visiting scholars.

“He’s got a good background and good material and great experience,” Duncan said about Crawford.

Although “Parenting with Purpose” is taught at the church and will have a Biblical perspective, Duncan said all faiths are welcome to attend the classes as well as attend the services Countryside offers.

“We want people to visit Countryside and if they feel that they are welcomed and they’d like to explore more, they’re welcome,” said Duncan. “But if they’re church hunting, we give the ad-

dresses and the phone numbers and the names of the pastors of the nearby churches. Doesn’t matter the denomination, because all of us, all the Christian denominations are on the same team… So any ministry that we can do that will help any of our sister churches in the other denominations have people of strong faith and have a good relationship with God through Christ, we’ve done our job.”

Countryside Community Church will celebrate three years of practicing July 1.

The church is made up of four other combined churches: Milwaukee United Methodist Church, Newton United Methodist Church, Ransom United Methodist Church and Schultzville United Methodist Church.

“One of the things we want to emphasize in this program is that we are not wanting people who come to feel guilty or that they have failed as parents,” said Crawford. “We’re simply wanting to point out some things that will encourage them and strengthen their family relationships. We’ll be talking about the importance of children feeling connected to the family…

We’ll be pointing out that kids who feel connected to their family make choices in life that look a lot different than the choices made by kids who feel disconnected from their family. ” The series is not limited to those with children.

Grandparents, those expecting a child and those who plans a family are invited.

For details or to register, call 570.587.3206 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. or send an e-mail to countrysidechurch@yahoo.com.

In today’s world, complex medical issues are fascinating, profound and likely to generate classroom discussion. However, these dilemmas are often more than just theoretical. They are real-life choices that ordinary people around the world face every day.

Hundreds of thousands of people find their lives hanging in the balance as they hope for the gift of life in the form of a vital organ, such as a heart, lung or kidney, yet there is a tremendous shortage of available organs. Does Jewish law allow the donation of organs, either from a live donor or one who is recently deceased? Would there perhaps even be a moral obligation to donate an organ?

At “Medicine and Morals,” a two-part series hosted by the Jewish Discovery Center, participants will discuss and debate these and other critical dilemmas, getting a glimpse into the intricacies of Jewish law and the process by which these medical situations are addressed.

Students will delve into reallife case histories and explore the various Jewish principles that have served as an anchor of moral direction and spiritual comfort.

The program will be held March 27 and April 3, from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at the Jewish Discovery Center.

Using text, multimedia and discussion, two 75-minute sessions will be facilitated by Rabbi Benny Rapoport, with a 30-minute break for a loxand-bagel brunch in between sessions. An informal panel with legal and medical professionals in attendance will share perspectives during brunch.

Registration is $75 for the two-part series or $45 for one session and is open until March 24.

The seminar is geared toward both professionals and lay-people and is accredited by the American Medical Association for 20 CME credits and by the PA CLE board for seven CLE credits.

March 20, the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute will partner with the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins for Blue Out. Because blue is the color that represents colon cancer awareness, everyone in attendance at the game is encouraged to wear that color to help raise awareness. A special T-shirt was made for the penguin’s mascot Tux. “It’s a very rewarding experience to be a volunteer at the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute for C.A.S.U.A.L. Day,” said Mary Densevich, co-chair of C.a.s.u.a.l. Day this year.

Volunteers are given various opportunities to get involved, depending on their own personal schedule. Volunteers are needed to spread awareness at the Gerrity’s grocery store Bagging Days, where colon cancer awareness information is given.

Volunteers also have a chance to hang posters in the community for different events.

Team captain Nickie Gondella has run C.A.S.U.A.L. Day every year, this year being especially important because her mother has been battling the disease since June, 2010. “I am proud to do C.A.S.U.A.L. Day because of the families at Allied Health who have members with colon cancer.

It’s a great thing to raise

funds for research,” said Gondella, team captain for Allied Services.

Colon cancer usually strikes without symptoms, which is why colon cancer screening tests, such as a colonoscopy, are vital. If the cancer is found early, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are treatment options.

Saving for retirement is one of the most important financial steps a person can take. You might think that putting money away in your retirement accounts will be sufficient. Unfortunately, there are some things that can affect your retirement savings now, and the income you will receive from your retirement accounts once you begin taking distributions.

When working on a retirement savings strategy there are some factors that need to be taken into consideration. A qualified financial planning professional can help you devise a strategy that takes into account the following risk factors.

The first factor that can impact your retirement income is known as investment risk.

Simply stated, investment risk is the chance that changes in the market can result in the increase or decrease of the value of the investments that make up your retirement account. Unfortunately, the market doesn’t always generate positive returns, and there will most likely be periods of time when your investments are providing negative returns.

Another component of this factor is reinvestment risk – the risk that the proceeds received from one investment vehicle, such as a certificate of deposit, will need to be reinvested at a lower interest rate. This risk factor is most often associated with investments that offer a fixed rate of return.

The second factor that poses a risk to your retirement income is known as inflation risk, which is the fact that the purchasing power of the dollar will decline over time. This factor needs to be considered in your retirement planning strategy. There’s no way of getting around it – you are going to need more money in the future to meet the same expenses you meet today. A personal retirement savings plan should include strategies to allow your income to increase and not decrease during your retirement. I recommend working with a financial planning professional experienced in retirement planning to help you craft a strategy that will work for you.

A third factor that many people don’t think about when it comes to retirement income is the cost of long -term care.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 70 percent of people older than the age of 65 at some point in their life will require long-term care services. The cost of this care is expensive, growing at a rate faster than inflation. Paying for long term

care can consume a large part of your retirement savings.

When creating your retirement savings plan, it is important to give consideration to the fact that you will need to pay for long term care in addition to your other daily and regular expenses.

Health care and medical expenses can eat into your retirement income. Medicare will pay only part of your medical expenses. Many individuals over the age of 65 will also need to pay for Medicare Part B coverage to help with outpatient expenses and/or Medicare Part D coverage, which covers prescription drugs. A supplemental insurance policy can also help with co-pays, deductibles and other costs not covered by Medicare. The cost to pay for these items needs to be taken into consideration when determining the monthly income you need for the duration of your retirement.

Finally, taxes play a big role on your retirement income, a

factor that is often overlooked in the retirement planning process. It is important to understand how your investments are taxed so you can factor these costs into your planning. Additionally, if your retirement income is going to come from accounts that were tax deferred, such as qualified pensions, 401(k) accounts or traditional IRA accounts, then you are going to have to pay income tax on the distributions taken from these accounts. This needs to be considered when planning your retirement savings strategy.

When you plan for your retirement, it is important to give consideration to these common factors that can affect your income and savings. A qualified financial planning professional can help you devise a plan that takes these factors into consideration.

Are You Suffering With Pain,Tingling, or Numbness in Your Feet or Ankles?

Do what Ed Labatch did…He Called The Neuropathy Center!

“I had very little feeling in my legs and feet that I couldn’t even drive. After treatment at the Neuropathy Center I can not only drive again but enjoy life like I used to… without pain.”

I had neuropathy in my legs and had very little feeling to the point that I couldn’t even drive my car. I suffered for about three years. I couldn’t stand very long or do many of the regular activities that I loved to do with my wife. I found that I sat around a lot.

I wanted so badly to get my life back to the way I remembered it so when I saw the ad in the paper for the Neuropathy Center I made an appointment right away.

After meeting with the professional staff at the Neuropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me.

After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs again. I couldn’t believe it!

The Neuropathy Center has changed my life in so many ways.

My experience has been terrific! Now my wife Betty and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the things we love including Polka dancing!!

I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering from Neuropathy pain to make an appointment today. Their caring staff were never to busy to answer any & all of my questions…in fact we always look forward to our visit.

LAYTON

Continued from Page 1

back to the family homestead where she began her life 60 years ago. She has come full circle… but always on Layton.

In the intervening years, Lynda’s life has been full of love in the form of family and abiding friendships. For all Justus youth for decades from the 1930s until the construction of Lakeland High School in 1975, Scott High School, currently the Joe Terry Civic Center, was the center for education, social connection, and friendship- building. In first grade at the Scott School, Lynda met Marilyn Miles Stracham of Fairview Road, who remains her intimate friend these 50plus years later. Sally Sohns and Sybil Miller became part of the quartet of classmates who enjoyed being cheerleaders for basketball games together, playing cards at lunch hour, and having sleepovers in Miles’ barn (now the home of Carriage Barn Antiques). Lynda recalled, “Our best memories were meeting up with all of our friends on Justus Corners every Sunday afternoon, sitting on the Powells’ lawn, and laughing and talking. We could each walk from our homes without any fears. It was a good place to grow up.” These 50 years later, Marilyn and Lynda still sit around for a good laugh and talk every Friday morning over a tea and bagel just off Layton at the “Gour,” an affectionate name for The Gourmet Family Restaurant, Chinchilla.

The intergenerational friendships on Layton have solidified Lynda’s connection with Marilyn. Their mothers, Leila Miles and Ruth James, were friends, and Lynda’s two daughters and Marilyn’s four children were all raised together. Connections continue to be maintained through church and family get-togethers.

Lynda credited her friendships for her involvement in one of the most exciting ventures of her life: her missions to China. Every year since 2005, Lynda has accompanied Marilyn and several others of her childhood Justus friends to work in an orphanage in southeastern China. “I would have never gone to China if I didn’t have my friends with me,” the previously reticent Lynda confessed, “but Marilyn said, ‘God is opening this door for you’.”

Lynda jumped into the project with full enthusiasm, helping to teach English to the children and run a summer program of songs and stories. Lynda mails packages of chocolate and other goodies to the orphans for every holiday. “It gives me a mission, someone else to care about. You have to know them to love them. It could only have been a God thing,” Lynda said about her Chinese friends. In the 1960s, social life in Justus revolved around the Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, which Lynda and her family attended, and the Justus Firehouse where Lynda met with her friends for Brownies and Girl Scouts. In her teen years, “Every Friday night there was roller skating at the firehouse and every Saturday night there was square dancing,” Lynda said. “All of the teens in Justus would go, and it was just good fun.” Many Justus youth cultivated their friendships, fell in love, and married after years of roller skating and square dancing together at the firehall. Lynda and Larry Kashuba were two that did. They married in 1969.

Larry’s roots in Justus extend back even further than Lynda’s.

His grandparents, Leo and Julia Anderson, lived near Justus Corners in the 1940s and had an array of greenhouses. Their love for growing things planted a seed that continues to flourish on Layton. Larry’s mother, Marie, started a flower shop in her home across from the former Lewis Brothers Garage, and the flower business was later passed to Larry after his high school graduation. He and

Lynda Kashuba’s Justus Gang. Longtime Justus friends who have weathered the tragedies and triumphs of life together are seen clowning here: first row, seated, from left: Barbara Gibbs, Marilyn Ruane, Barb Mushel. Standing: Lynda Kashuba, Sue Kashuba, Mary Black.

Lynda spent the early years of their marriage arranging and delivering his floral designs.

Larry’s brother Corky opted to continue with his grandfather’s greenhouse business. Today, Corky’s is one of the floral businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania and a Justus business on Layton.

Larry was a focal figure of Justus life. With his wit, humor, creativity and charisma, he would probably have been the first mayor of Justus, if the country folk were given to such political concerns in the 1970s, but they weren’t. Instead he became fire chief of the Justus Fire Department, an EMT on the Justus ambulance, and fire marshal for the local fire departments.

The Justus Firehouse was located on Justus Boulevard, a block down from the Corners, and directly across from the first mini-mall ever constructed in Justus. The mini-mall, called “Colony Court,” was Larry’s brainchild and creative project.

Since he built it in the 1970s, it has housed a market, a hairdresser, a pizzeria, a book store, an ice cream shop, an insurance agency, and a veterinary office…and Larry and Lynda’s family home.

Living across from the firehouse and with Larry’s intense involvement in firefighting, “the Justus Fire Company became our lives,” Lynda said. In the days before “911” and a central communication system, “We were the base station.

Along with Evelyn Evans and Sandy Powell, we had the famous ‘red’ phone in our home.

Someone (of the three of us) always had to be home to take emergency calls.” Lynda can still remember the emergency number that Justus residents would have to call for emergency service, and when the call came in, Lynda or Larry would set the siren to blaring; it could be heard from one end of Justus to another, but never so clearly as in their children’s bedroom across from the firehouse. “The girls became so used to it, they could sleep right through,” Lynda said with a smile.

The camaraderie and fellowship of the Justus Fire Company provided the basis for additional long -term friendships.

Joe and Sue Kashuba, Al and Barb Mushel, Jim and Barb Gibbs, Bill and Karen Ollendyke, Tom and Fran Novitsky, Joe and Sandy Powell, Joe and Marilyn Ruane, and Jimmy and Mary Black became a tight circle of support and fun as a result of the fire company connection. Every Saturday night some part of the Justus crowd would get together for parties, cards or campfires. The most memorable fun involved camping. Several of the couples would pull out their RVs on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, load up the kids, who were all tots at the time, and head for adventure and sightseeing on the Jersey beaches, in Lancaster, Florida, or some other point of interest.

Strength in numbers Today, the tradition of friendship and togetherness continues in a different form. Larry died in 2001, leaving Lynda to struggle with his loss and to cherish plenty of rich memories of their life among family and friends in Justus.

The RVs were sold or packed away, the children were all

grown and raising their own families, but the girls, Barb Mushel, Sue Kashuba, Barb Gibbs, Mary Black, Marilyn Ruane and Lynda, opted to faithfully gather and stay connected every Saturday morning at some area restaurant for conversation, sharing, and laughter. “We’re all in for anything we want to do together,” said Mushel. “We’re always there for each other,” Ruane added, “We’ve shared a lot of good laughs and some things that aren’t so funny.”

“The cooking, campfires, sightseeing, those were a lot of good years,” said Sue Kashuba.

“We’ve been friends so long that you pass through the different phases of life together – the children, growing up, getting old, the cancer; friends through good and bad.”

The cancer. Sue’s battle with cancer rallied the group to her support, seeing her ultimately to remission. In honor of her 10th anniversary cancer-free, the girls had shirts made with Sue’s photo for their annual participation in the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure.

When Sue’s sister Karen Ollendyke, another member of the Justus gang, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Lynda and the other girls “drew up the wagons” around her in love and support before she succumbed to the illness.

Now, it’s Lynda, and the wagons of friendship have formed again around their own. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010, Lynda is waging an heroic battle that, by her admission, would not be possible without God, her family, and the faithful, longtime Justus friends.

“Both groups (the Saturday morning Justus group and Marilyn Stracham and the childhood friends) came once a week (to my home), bringing dinner, through the course of the 2010 chemotherapy. They took me to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown for all of my doctors’ appointments; they encouraged me with phone calls and prayer,” Lynda said.

Since Larry’s death, Lynda has made it her focus to serve God and other people whole-heartedly. She has been a regular worker at the St. Francis of Assisi Soup Kitchen for many years, and she has worked at Mercy’s Hospice Unit, determined to “give back” to Mercy for the care they provided Larry and because she “hated the thought of anyone dying alone.”

She is a member of Parker Hill Community Church where she attends Bible study and has served for more than 20 years.

Lynda’s two daughters, Barbie Strong and Lorie Lines, have settled in Justus within easy walking distance of Layton, so all of Lynda’s seven grandchildren are “in a good place to grow up. I’m so glad they are being raised here,” she said. Even the extended family, Corky and Nancy Kashuba and nephew Trevor Kashuba and his wife, are “just up the road.”

Justus has been “home” for Lynda Kashuba because of rich, abiding relationships that have weathered the test of time, triumphs, and trouble. “My friendships have given me a comfortable life,” Lynda affirmed gratefully. She has practiced friendship and accrued a bevy of lifelong friends in the place that continues to be most precious to all of them… on Layton.

Alishia Allegrucci at Marley’s Mission

Keystone graduate works with Mission Alishia Allegrucci vividly remembers the joy she experienced the first time she ever rode a horse as a young girl. Now, at 22, the 2010 Keystone graduate and Dalton resident is helping a special group of children discover the same type of happiness she experienced as a child.

Allegrucci is able to share her love of horses as an equine specialist with Marley’s Mission, a nonprofit organization in Lake Ariel, which provides equine therapy to children who have experienced some type of trauma in their lives.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy has been shown to help patients who have experienced abuse and suffer from depression, anxiety and similar symp-

toms. The Marley’s Mission treatment team, including Allegrucci, has been specially trained in equine assisted therapy.

Marley’s Mission was founded by April Loposky.

Loposky’s daughter was attacked in her home by an intruder in 2009. While the intruder was apprehended and prosecuted, the young girl suffered significant emotional trauma after the incident. Realizing how well her daughter responded after interacting with horses, Loposky founded Marley’s Mission to help traumatized children experience the benefits of equine therapy, just as her daughter did.

Allegrucci, who has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with minors in psychology and political

science, was hired as an equestrian specialist after graduating from Keystone in May, 2010.

“Ever since I was a child, riding horses has given me a tremendous amount of joy and satisfaction. Now, I am able to combine my love and knowledge of horses to help children who need it most. Working at Marley’s Mission has been a tremendous experience and I know we are going to continue to do great things in the future.”

“Seeing joy return to the face of a child who has undergone some type of traumatic experience is a wonderful sight. Marley’s Mission is helping to make that possible and I’m proud to be a part of it,” Alishia said.

Luncheon for a cause

Jean Lynett, Mary Ann Marion and Bridget Lynett.

More than 200 mothers and daughters came together for a luncheon at Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Green March 20, to celebrate each other and raise money for Jacqueline Blazaski, a 36 -year-old woman in need of a third kidney transplant.

Sponsored by the school’s Student Council, the event included a buffet lunch, decorated candy bags which were filled with candy that provided the table centerpieces and mother/daughter photos. Enjoying the DJ’s music, the girls had the opportunity to “walk the red carpet” with their friends and their mothers. All eighth grade mothers were recognized by being asked to stand and were thanked for their support of the school and the support of their daughters over the years at the school.

Total funds raised are more than $3,000.

Pre-kindergarten students learn about pets The Pre Kindergarten students at the Treasure House Chinchilla Center were learning to be responsible pet owners in February.

Treasure House was grateful for the visit from Griffin Pond Animal Shelter to talk with the class about pet care, being a responsible pet owner and the proper ways to handle a pet. To thank them for their time and information on the topics, the Treasure House Chinchilla Center collected donations, such as food, money, cleaning supplies and more to donate to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. The Pre Kindergarten class took a field trip and presented the donations to their staff. Shown are: Jeremiah Garrison, Warren Reed of the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, Emily Black, Adam Punt, Mary Lynne Reese, Gabriella Singh, Sameeksha Artula, Miss Chrissy, and Miss Ashley.

Penn State Cooperative Extension in Lackawanna County will be hosting a Marcellus Shale Natural Gas Workshop Tuesday, April 5, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Penn State Worthington Scranton Campus in Dunmore.

Pre-registration is required. Please contact the Lackawanna County Extension Office at 570.963.6842 by Friday, April 1.

A $50,000 grant received in a contest by the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, 967 Griffin Pond Rd., South Abington Twp., will help not only the shelter and its four-legged friends, but Lackawanna County residents, as well. The $50,000 grant was given to the shelter after it placed in the top ten for the Pepsi Refresh contest after months of voting and rising, falling and rising again through the ranks.

Deb Mendelsohn first entered the shelter into the contest in October, 2010, when it was accepted into the program. The voting then opened for the shelter in November, according to the 43-year-old Clarks Summit resident. Kate Andrews, South Abington Twp., Staff Resources, said the grant money, which is set up in a separate bank account, will be used exclusively for low-income residents of Lackawanna County to help with the free spaying and neutering of their pets. Andrews said those eligible to be a part of the Pepsi Spay/ Neuter Project must be residents of Lackawanna County and have 2010 tax returns showing that they made $30,000 dollars or less for a combined household gross income. There is a limit of two animals that can be spayed or neutered per household for the Pepsi Spay/Neuter Project.

Applications can be found online at www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com. Anyone interested who does not have internet access can call the shelter at 586.3700, leave their name and address and an application will be mailed to them.

Once approved, Andrews said a Pepsi Spay/Neuter voucher will be mailed, along with a list of veterinarians to set up appointments.

host,” said Monogram Muse owner Francene Dudziec.

Dudziec said that she plans to start acting as a planning consultant, where she will be able to take care of the event from start to finish, working on a number of aspects, including the invitations, programs, thank-you cards and favors.

“We do some favors now,” said Dudziec.

“My idea for our new location is to do some more design consultations, and be able to do some more creative work that’s personalized beyond just a gift.”

With a background as an art director and graphic designer, she can offer designs that are specific and unique to her customers’ events.

“Everything is custom, even our T-shirts. All the designs are original, everything I have my hands into are original designs.

If we did invitations, they’d be original. It’s not like they’re coming from a book or anything,” said Dudziec.

Another reason for the move, she said, is so the business can have more space to fill online orders. The store’s merchandise is available for purchase at monogrammusegifts.com and www.facebook.com/monogrammuse.

Customers can visit the website for more information on the date the business intends to move locations, or call 570.585.0722.

Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty also presented Carey with an award and dedicated the day as “Gerrie Carey Day.” The secret was not easy to keep, according to Carey’s daughter, Colleen Berry.

“It was very hard to keep the award a secret because so many people had been calling my mother to congratulate her.”

Berry also mentioned Carey’s dedication to service.

“She is a really big advocate for all political figures who have been running, working very hard on their campaigns,” said Berry. “She is also an advocate for everybody, such as in her church (Our Lady of the Snows). She is very giving.”

During the presentation of her award, Carey said, “I’ve always said, ‘It’s better to give than to receive.’”

Carey is in her third year as president of the Clarks Summit Borough Council. She is the first woman to be elected as president. She was the first Democrat elected to council and has been a member since 1999. Since the time she has

been on council, it has become all Democratic.

Carey ran for council after a fire destroyed her family’s home in 1997.

“Our family was all we had to build on,” said Carey. “That brought us together. The fire did not destroy us. The year after, I decided to run for council. I ran on the platform of ‘being there for anyone who needed me, 24/7.’”

She added, “It has always been my goal to let my conscience work overtime.”

Carey caters outside of her political career. Her catering and connection to Our Lady of the Snows work hand-in-hand in the Lazarus Ministry, a free ministry to provide meals catered by her for funeral services rather than hiring an outside catering company.

Carey is known for wearing many “aprons” instead of hats.

She is also a family woman.

Carey is the middle child of nine siblings. She and her husband William are the parents of four children, Hutch Carey, Mary-Ellen Berry, Rick Carey and Colleen Berry, and have five grandchildren. She graduated from Abington Heights High School and Keystone College, La Plume.

Who plays the character Carl Van Loon in the new thriller "Limitless"?

You can feel it, spring is here. The temperature is rising, the early flowers of spring are starting to pop up from the ground, and the Dietrich’s film festival is just around the corner. Starting April 8 and running through April 21, we will be able to view 17 of the best foreign, independent, and art films that have been released over the past four months.

There is definitely something for everyone in the festival’s lineup. For those of us who like a little bit of comedy, there is “Potiche” (Trophy Wife), a story set in France in the 1970s about a wife who shows her husband that she is much more than a trophy wife.

For moviegoers who are interested in documentaries, there are “The Legend of Pale Male” and “Kings of Pastry.”

We also will be showing dramatic works including “Biutiful” with Javier Bardem and “Blue Valentine” featuring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. I am especially looking forward to seeing “Casino Jack,” “The Company Men” and “A Somewhat Gentle Man.” Tickets to film festival movies excluding the opening night are $8 for matinee shows (before 6 p.m.) and $9 for evening shows. Visit our website www.dietrichtheater.com for a full schedule of movies and show times.

To launch the festival, we would like to invite you to attend our Opening Night Gala Friday, April 8. It will be a grand evening full of fine movies, delicious hors d’oeuvres, plenty of wine, sumptuous desserts, and great company. For that evening we will be featuring “Potiche” (Trophy Wife), the French comedy with Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu, and “The Company Men” with Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones.

In addition to celebrating the festival that night, we will also be commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the reopening of the Dietrich as a movie theater and cultural center. So be sure to join us for this special evening. Tickets are $50 each and proceeds support the Dietrich Theater. Call us at 570.996.1500 for reservations.

The Dietrich will also be offering a variety of classes and other events this spring from photography, to pottery, to jewelry making, to Spanish, to basketry. In fact our first basketry class will be Saturday, April 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Pennsylvania’s “One Book, Every Young Child” reading initiative is set to begin next week in Harrisburg. The important statewide effort encourages adults to share and talk about books and stories with their pre-schoolers. A new picture book is chosen annually to promote this effort. This year’s choice is “Whose Shoes?,” by Stephen Swinburne. Illustrated entirely with photographs of shoes, the books tell a lot about people: their careers, hobbies and personalities. Beginning this week, the Abington Community Library will have on display two “shoeboxes” to be raffled.

They are filled with a variety of small toys, with a copy of the featured book in each one, along with a poster and brochure that serve as guides to make the most of the book. Through the courtesy of Sole to Soul shoe shop in Clarks Summit, each box also contains a coupon for a discount when purchasing a new pair of children’s shoes at the store and a complimentary insulated lunch bag donated by Dorothy O’Connor, co-owner of Sole to Soul.

Stickers, bookmarks, and activity ideas will be available in the library’s Children’s Room while supplies last. Raffle entries are free at the Children’s Desk.

New approach to ‘MURDER’

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

D

irector Art Walsh will take a new approach to some familiar material with the Actors Circle’s presentation of “Dial ‘M’ for Murder.”

Beginning its run at the Providence Playhouse March 25, “Dial ‘M’ For Murder,” tells the story of a washed -up tennis player who, with the help of an old college buddy, plots to murder his wealthy, adulterous wife and walk away with her estate.

Troubles arise when the planned victim becomes the murderer, and the husband has to cover his tracks from a suspicious detective investigating the case.

“It’s a good play, well -written play,” said Walsh.

“It’s a nice piece. It’s not exactly a mystery, it’s sort of a who done it, it got done wrong, who’s going to get caught. It’s interesting.”

Walsh made his directorial debut with the play more than a decade ago.

He said he was looking to direct something for the Actors Circle this season and recommended the piece.

“Actors Circle decided this current season would be all murder mysteries, mysteries or detective -type things. They decided to do a theme for the season,

which I don’t think they’ve ever done before,” said Walsh.

“I didn’t know what to submit. Last season they had just finished doing ‘Lend Me a Tenor,’ and they had done ‘Lend Me a Tenor’ about 11 or 12 years ago, so I said, ‘well, 11 or 12 years ago I did ‘Dial ‘M’ For Murder,’ I could always do that again.’”

The board approved the play and it was put on the schedule.

Although he has worked on it before, Walsh said one of the things that attracted him to tackling the piece again was the opportunity to go at the play from a different angle.

“It’s a completely different take from an artistic standpoint from the last time I did it,” said Walsh.

“My take on it this time is, even though it’s mystery season, it is less about the mystery or the detective stuff, and more about the relationship between the characters.”

“I’m trying to play on the emotions of the characters, as opposed to the plot of the play, and it seems to be going pretty well.

It’s not all about subterfuge.”

added that he has not altered the material to bring these aspects out in the play. Rather, he is achieving it through his direction.

This is a difference from the first time he directed the play and tried to do it exactly as written.

“As a first-time director, I really wanted to stick with the playwright’s concept,” said Walsh. “As a first-time director I think you’d be foolish to go out on a limb anywhere. I just wanted to try and get it right.”

With a few years experience, Walsh said he felt

icine, astute detective work, and some characters who might remind one of Hannibal Lector. Ms. Gerritsen was a practicing physician before she began writing mysteries and she’s also the author of the TV series Rizzoli ( the same detective Rizzoli in “the Surgeon”) and Ives. The series appears on TBS and a new season is scheduled to start this summer.

Another early evening offering will be featured at the Dalton Library at 6:30 p.m.

April 18. Dr. Joe McAuliffe of ProActive Family Chiropractic will speak. His topic is “Enhance Your Body’s Healing Power! Build Up Your Immune System, Decrease Allergies and Move Toward Optimum Health!” What could be more timely when so many are sniffing and sneezing thanks to the “flowers that bloom in the spring?”

Spring also invites long walks, and if you enjoy listening to books as you walk, don’t forget about out library’s collection of Playaway Books.

They are preloaded, tiny in size, contain full length books, and come with their own batteries. We’re adding more titles to the collection quite regularly, once again, thanks to the generosity of Yvette and Joe Vinson.

March’s Saturday Spotlight meeting at 10:30 a.m., March 26 should be quite engaging.

We’re reading “The Surgeon”

by Tess Gerritsen, the speaker at the Scranton Cultural Center April 11, and the discussion will be facilitated by Jean Marie Lynn from the Taylor Community Library. If you haven’t read the book yet, there are still a few copies available at our library. Just request a copy at the desk. It’s a “fast read,” so you should be able to complete it in time for this Saturday discussion.

Mahjong on Monday anyone?? There are two very

Well, here it is almost the end of March; my day lilies and bleeding hearts are poking through the ground and I’m dying to get into my garden. In fact, I’m having a hard time staying at my keyboard as these plants are just right out my window. “Don’t you know what that is?” asks Huck of Tom Sawyer. “It’s spring fever...and when you’ve got it, you want ---oh, you don’t quite know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” from Twain’s “Tom Sawyer, Detective.”

I suspect we are all sharing these heart aches right now.

But once your daytime gardening and yard chores are done, don’t forget to enjoy some wonderful evening programs planned by our library and the county library system.

On March 28 at 6 p.m., Diana Shahein will present an evening of Middle Eastern Dance at our library. She will be performing dances from Egypt, Turkey and Morocco.

This program is sponsored by a Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Grant and is a program of the Lackawanna County Commissioners and the Council on Art, Culture, and Education. Diana is a master teacher of dance and has danced extensively with Bedouin musicians in the Petra Desert. She is well know in the Middle East for her ability to interpret regional dance traditions in a way that preserves their beauty and simplicity.

And then April 11, the Lackawanna Library System Lecture Series will present Tess Gerritsen at 7 p.m. at the Scranton Cultural Center.

Right now the county-wide reading program called “On the Same Page in Lackawanna County” is focused on Ms. Gerritsen’s book “The Surgeon.” It’s a suspense thriller that involves forensic med-

proficient mahjong teachers who are looking for people who might want to learn how to play this game. If you already know how, they can help you enhance your skills; if you’re a novice, they will be delighted to teach you. Just call Janet Geeza at the library at 563.2606 and let her know you’re interested and at what time you’d like to play on Mondays. Sounds like fun!

And did you know that our library is wired ? Wi Fi and coffee are available for your pleasure. Bring your laptop and enjoy a cup of coffee as you work.

Lest you worry that with so many programs, we’ve neglected our “standards,” ’tis not so.

Bridge and Conscious Conversations continue every Tuesday. Bridge players start about 10 a.m. and the conversationalists begin at 5 p.m.

Tiny tots and their moms or dads continue to be delighted with their story hour Tuesdays at 12:30 and the preschoolers can’t wait for theirs every Tuesday at 1 p.m. The giggles, chatter, and excitement from both meetings is infectious.

And I wish I were in 4-6th grade again because then I could join Kreative Kids every other Monday at 4 p.m. Next meetings: March 28 and April 11. They’ve been drawing and painting and I understand they may be leaning about photography soon. Maybe they can teach me how to take a picture that’s not lopsided! If you’re in 4-6th grade, come join the fun.

Just let Janet Geeza or Celeste Cali know you’re coming at 570.563.2014).

Remember to check out our weekly blog. Just Google the Dalton Community Library, hit the link to “blog,” and voila, you’ll be there. Then you might want to bookmark the spot. A recent “blog” contained lists of some children’s and adult’s DVDs that are currently available at our library and an informative piece about the program called Conscious Conversations.

That’s about it for now. Until next month, enjoy the taste of spring – and let’s hope that spring is not teasing us, but that it’s really here!

Off and running

BY T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON AND DON MCGLYNN Abington Journal Reporters

CLARKS SUMMIT - Scranton /Wilkes- Barre Yankee general manager Jeremy Ruby, 35, Eynon, will leave his position with AAA baseball team to oversee the Abington Heights School District athletic department.

Ruby will replace athletic director Scott Kaiser, who resigned in January.

“We are very much looking forward to having him here,” said Abington Heights School District Superintendent Michael Mahon, Ph.D. in a phone interview March 08. “We interviewed 50 people for the job, it was very competitive, and Mr. Ruby came through.”

Ruby was hired as the district Director of Athletics and Development. In addition to overseeing the athletic department, Ruby will be in charge of helping the district discover new ways to generate funds for the school.

The Abington Heights School Board had discussed the possibility of creating a director of development position in August 2010. The duties for that position would have included generating additional revenue for the district.

Mahon said the district did not enter the interviewing process seeking to combine the two positions, but after hearing about Ruby’s experience with promotions and fundraising, felt confident in expanding upon the role of athletic director.

Ruby said he will begin serving his role with the school district at the end of March. “It will be a change, no doubt. I’m going from professional baseball to the high school level. I’m expecting to take with me everything I’ve learned here from my organizational skills and my creativity skills. I’m trying to hopefully take and create as much new things as possible… not only in the athletic department, not only help the kids with

Campo was third among qualifiers Wednesday then moved up a spot during the final by dropping more than a second off her time to finish in 57.57.

Margaret Gruber dominated the event, winning in 54.98, just missing the state record of 54.92 set by Andrea Marko of Greensburg Central Catholic in 2008.

With changes in their lineup and coaching staff, the Abington Heights, Lackawanna Trail and Lakeland High School baseball teams are all expecting a period of transition early this season.

Abington Heights, Lackawanna Trail and Lakeland all found success last year advancing to postseason play. With several key players returning and the influx of new talent, each team is confident it can build off last season’s accomplishments.

Lakeland First-year coach Larry Piccini joins Lakeland for the 2011 season, after finishing third in the league with an overall record of 10-7 last season.

Piccini served as an assistant for five seasons before taking the head coaching job at Lakeland. He hopes his knowledge, experience and competitive nature will contribute to the team’s success.

Lakeland’s key losses from last season include pitchers Danny Pittack and Geoff Demming. Pittack and Demming combined for eight

Stevens was a second team All-State selection as a junior.

Even with all the talent that is returning, Abington Heights will be counting on the development of several young players. The Lady Comets had five senior starters graduate off last year’s team, including the entire outfield.

Ruby said that when he starts the job he wants to make sure the athletic programs and teams compete at the same level that they have been at. “I want to maintain what was all ready started out there. I just want to make sure the level of professionalism continues. It is. It is a great district and they have great athletic programs. I want to continue that success.”

Ruby, who first saw the job opening posted in the newspaper, said he is looking forward to getting to know the members of the district over time. “I’m a big fan of Dr. Mahon and Principal Pam Murray and her assistants, as well as the coaches that are all ready in place. I know of a lot of them… it’s just the school district in general. You always hear good things about them. It’s just great people up there. The school board, they’re all great people, the school directors. You never hear anything negative.

I’m looking to fit right in.”

Ruby said he could see himself retiring from the district. “I think this is something I want to do for the next 20, 30 years.”

Ruby lives in Eynon with his wife Maria and two sons, Dante, 5 and Marco,1.

C.G. gives to Little League

BY EMILY CULLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS GREEN – The March 14 meeting of the Clark Green Borough Council featured discussion concerning the sewer and drainage of water onto roads and private property.

Three residents spoke of water draining onto their property and creating situations such as icy road conditions and costly reimbursement to tenants from overflow into basements.

The residents said they contacted PennDOT but have been told that the borough must contact PennDOT. Council agreed to look into both matters.

South Abington Police Chief Robert Gerrity mentioned a daytime robbery and reminded residents to report any unusual activity or persons to the police.

“The lion’s share of burglaries take place in the daytime,” he said.

Also, John Cuck from the Abington Little League Board requested a donation from Clarks Green, from which 48 children participate in league. The board is looking to build restrooms and batting cages at the fields. During the meeting, council voted to donate $250 to the Little League.

Three other residents spoke of the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority and mentioned their dissatisfaction with the Authority. They said it had not sought Requests for Proposals for the design of the new, expanded plant.

Resident John Earley said that while state law does not, in this instance, require bids, that “common sense requires it be done.”

Council voted to submit the draft of the Regional Act 537 Plan of the three municipalities involved in the sewer authority, South Abington Twp., Clarks Summit and Clarks Green, to the Clarks Green planning commission for their review and input. Council members made it clear they were not voting on the draft itself, but rather on releasing it to the planning commission for review.

Joint sewer board OKs deed transfer

S. Abington halts sewer plan draft

BY RYAN D. BEARDSLEY Abington Journal Correspondent

S. ABINGTON TWP. – The South Abington Township Board of Supervisors stated at its March 14 meeting that it continues to request the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority to seek Requests for Proposals regarding all work necessary under the Regional Act 537 Plan.

According to the plan, the authority was given unfunded mandates to reconstruct its plant to meet more stringent Federal requirements for sewer systems. These requirements are part of the Chesapeake Bay Initiative which will help clean the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to the plant work, some major sewer line in the system will need to be rebuilt.

These renovations will cost an estimated $35 million and result in increased sewer user bills paid by South Abington, Clarks Summit and Clarks Green residents. The Board of Supervisors believes that by seeking Requests for Proposals, the authority would attain proper cost control while pursuing the Regional Act 537 Plan.

The board also requests that the authority agree to hold a public meeting for the South Abington, Clarks Summit and Clarks Green residents, at which time the sewer authority can explain its plans for the reconstruction of the plant and the sewer lines to the public.

The meeting would also serve as an open forum and give the public a chance to ask questions regarding the plan and become informed of what

the renovations will mean to rate payers.

The board was presented with a draft Regional Act 537 Plan, which will move to the Township Planning Commission for review and approval once approved by the Township Supervisors. However, the board passed a motion not to move forward with the draft.

The Board requests the authority to make assurances that there will be Requests for Proposals for all contracts and any work relating to the Regional Act 537 Plan, as well as sponsor the multi-municipal public meeting.

The board also passed a motion to request that the authority contact federal legislators for possible federal funding.

FACTORYVILLE - At the Factoryville Borough/Clinton Twp Joint Municipal Authority Sewer meeting held March 9, solicitor Paul Litwin brought a deed to transfer the sewer plant and the municipal garage to the sewer authority. He also drafted a 99-year lease, which stated that any property not being used for sewer, leases back to the borough.

The lease includes “all of the property not used in the conjunction with the sewer treatment plant; however, if the sewer use expands to such an extent to substantially interfere with the borough’s use of the property for municipal purposes, this lease will terminate.”

“If the property is no longer used for public sewer, the property comes back to the borough,” said Litwin. “With respect to the deed that the borough is going to give, the borough is retaining the gas rights and the water rights.”

Litwin requested a motion to accept the plant from the borough and a motion to execute a lease to the borough. The board agreed.
