CLARKS SUMMIT - Council members voted to table one ordinance and agreed to accept another at the March 2 Clarks Summit Borough Council meeting.

Council voted six to zero to table a proposed Knox Box ordinance. The draft ordinance stated that, if passed, the ordinance would require the “… installation of a fire department -approved Knox Box at all commercial, institutional and industrial building as well as newly constructed or converted residential buildings with four or more apartment or dwelling units.”

Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe described a Knox Box as a device that would be installed and hooked up to a Communications Center. “If there is a fire or an emergency in that building, the fire company, or the ambulance or the police could call the Comm. Center, the Comm. Center could release the latch on it and inside would be a key to all the units so you could get in without breaking down doors or windows.”

Kehoe said that all actions involving Knox Boxes would be monitored by the Communications Center.

Editor, The American Red Cross has been carrying out its mission to provide disaster relief since its founding in 1881. The Wyoming Valley Chapter was established in 1916 and for the past 95 years has mobilized countless volunteers to fulfill its mission of providing disaster relief and helping people prepare for and prevent emergencies. The Red Cross has also been the primary liaison between service men and women and their commands in times of family emergency since World War I and has been the primary supplier of blood and blood products since World War II. March is Red Cross Month.

For nearly 100 years, U.S. Presidents have called on people to support the American Red Cross and its humanitarian mission. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, local Red Cross Chapters respond to an average of one disaster every day, mostly due to house fires and weatherrelated events. This is done through a force of more than 2,000 volunteers including more than 100 Disaster Action Team volunteers, who are specially trained to respond to indi-

viduals and families in need. As emergency service workers are dealing with saving lives and property, Red Cross workers are dealing with the financial and emotional issues that face someone who may have lost their possessions and even loved ones. The word that has the most meaning and impact during Red Cross month is “Give.”

We ask you to give of your time and to volunteer. We ask you give your financial support so that we can continue to deliver services to our communities.

We ask you give blood so that we can provide this life -saving product to all who need it. In our 95 years, the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania have always answered the call to give and for that we are most grateful. Another word that is important during Red Cross month is “Join.” Join us and work with us to help your neighbors down the street, around the corner or around the world. Celebrate with us this month as we recognize the 138th Anniversary of the American Red Cross.

Edward C. Winters, Chief Executive Office American Red Cross – Wyoming Valley Chapter

Area residents in Gallery of Hope

Ten northeastern Pennsylvania residents recently took the brave step of sharing their personal experiences with breast cancer to inspire others who are facing the disease. Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania (BCNEPA) has collected Jill Wetzel their stories and photos for the company’s 11th annual “Gallery of Hope.” Created by BCNEPA in 2000, the Gallery of Hope is a traveling display designed to educate the public about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against breast cancer.

Beginning in February, the 2011 Gallery became available to exhibit throughout northeastern and north central Pennsylvania.

This year’s Gallery of Hope includes two Lackawanna County residents and one Wyoming County resident.

Two years ago, Josefa Cerra Dombrosky, 34, Carbondale, had routine diagnostic testing after she developed an infection in her breast. Surgery, radiation treatments and chemotherapy helped her subsequently beat stage I ductal cancer. Today, Dombrosky continues teaching third-grade

She advises women, “Don’t be afraid to make your diagnosis public. The more people you have supporting you, the easier it is to get through it. There is no reason to face it alone.”

It was a routine mammogram in 2005 that revealed breast cancer for Kathyrn Holod, 63, of Clarks Summit.

After successful surgery and treatments, Holod began encouraging local women to make healthy choices and take preventive steps because “breast cancer can happen to anyone.” Besides being a breast cancer advocate, Holod stays active in the community as a college instructor and as a board member for the Employment Opportunity & Training Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania (EOTC) and the American Red Cross of Lackawanna County.

Pink is the new black

‘Men in Black’ event April 7

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

The Knights of Columbus lead the procession into Our Lady of the Snows Church for their 100th Anniversary Mass Saturday evening in Clarks Summit.

A standing-room-only congregation fills Our Lady of the Snows Church for their 100th Anniversary Mass.

ur Lady of the Snows Church Pontifical Mass was celebrated in honor of the parish Centennial March 5. The public was invited to a Mass held at 5 p.m. at the church, 301 S. State St., Clarks Summit.

O

Bishop Joseph Bambera welcomes the congregation to the Our Lady of the Snows 100th Anniversary Mass Saturday evening in Clarks Summit.

Bishop Joseph Bambera, center, and diocesan concelebrants say the Eucharistic Prayer during the 100th Anniversary Mass of Our Lady of the Snows Church in Clarks Summit on Saturday evening.

Msgr. John H. Louis delivers the homily at Mass Saturday evening in Clarks Summit.

Plans are underway for the upcoming annual “Men in Black” with Pink event to be held April 7 at Glen Oak Country Club, beginning with a cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m.

But rest assured, the event is more than cocktails and dinner. It is a chance for attendees to see some of the area’s most distinguished and highprofile men strut their stuff in tuxedos provided by Sarno & Sons. This year some of the men will be accompanied by models provided

by Lenora’s in Scranton.

The Poets will provide the musical entertainment.

Men in Black is sponsored by the Abington Business and Professional Association, a non-profit organization which currently has more than 120 members and is responsible for a variety of community and family events held throughout the year, including the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, a summer and fall festival, holiday open house, and sidewalk days during the summer.

Committee member Mary Beth Pasqualicchio said, “A lot of people don’t realize what the ABPA does for the community and the costs associated with events such as the Ice Festival, Fall Fun in the Abingtons, summer and fall festival, winter festival, holiday open house, and sidewalk days during the summer.

This year, much of the proceeds from Men in Black will benefit Marley’s Mission, a non-profit organization that provides “equine-based therapy free of charge to children, and their families, who have experienced trauma.”

According to Jim Verano, association treasurer and Men in Black committee member, “We have a char-

ity this year. Marley’s Mission will be the recipient of most of the funds we raise.

We looked at a number of charities and we liked the ideals behind Marley’s Mission and what they stand for and they’re also going to be our neighbor shortly.”

April Loposky, Founder and Program Director of Marley’s Mission established the organization after her daughter, a 5-year-old girl was attacked in her own room by a complete stranger. Loposky realized the dramatic and positive impact Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy EAP provided her daughter during the healing process.

Some familiar faces will return to model tuxedos at this year’s event, but expect to see new faces as well, including First Assistant District Attorney Eugene M. Talerico Jr. Committee member Lisa Sniegocki said, “It (Men in Black) gives the ABPA a chance to reach out to people who don’t know who we are and what our group is. We’re bringing in a lot of new blood, including members of the legal community who are supporting us. We’re going to sell out because people are calling and requesting tables. The event is going to bring people in from all over the area. Marley’s Mission is such a good cause…”

The association is seeking sponsorship for the year’s event. Verano said, “…Last year, we only sold tickets, but this year we’d like to have some sponsors and may have a booklet with some advertising.”

Ticket prices are $60 for the reservation -only event, so committee members urge anyone interested in attending Men in Black with Pink to reserve your tables now. To become a sponsor, reserve a table or for more information, call 570.760.2115.

Benefiting the American Cancer Society, the annual Daffodil Days will begin March 16 and continue until March 19.

Daffodils can be purchased in the Abington area Wednesday and Thursday during business hours at Curves, Sanderson State Street Salon and Caravia, for $10 a bunch. A bunch of daffodils contains 10 daffodils.

Tami Graham, 52, Clarks

Summit, who is co-chair for the event for the Abington area, along with Timmie Ott, said the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. “The one thing I like about the Daffodil Days is that it covers all of the cancers…”

According to Ott, the American Cancer Society is the second largest donor of money for research, only second to the federal government and 100 percent of the proceeds from Daffodil Days go directly to the society.

Marge Black, 86, Waverly, and Graham, said the daffodils are sold this time of year because they are the first flower of the spring season.

Graham and Ott have been involved with Daffodil Days for

ering orders, wrapping bunches and participating at the street sale events March 15 beginning at 4 p.m.

Graham said the Abington Heights High School National Honor Society assists with wrapping the flowers. “I’ll tell you what they’re a joy to work with, those kids. You know, they really are.

“If Depot Street had a major fire, the fire company would respond… . But if they needed a special type of equipment then Emergency Management would take their calls out through the county to get that special equipment and then we would radio out to the fire company.” ” The responding departments, such as fire companies and police departments are the entities that carry out the actions, according to Filarsky. “It’s kind of like a play.

While the school is not affiliated with The University of Scranton, Dr. Fan said, “We are very grateful to the administrators of the University, the university community and our students and their parents for their support. We would also like to thank the registration office, Ms. Kelly Cook, the maintenance staff in Brennan Hall and Dr. Susan Trussler of the Economics/ Finance Department…”

The University of Scranton provides classroom space for the language and culture school.

The spring semester began in early February and instructors will wrap up the semester May 15. On Feb. 13, a Chinese New Year Festival was the first culturally- related event to be hosted through the school.

With red as the primary color, a symbol of happiness in Chinese culture, students and attendees were entertained with a variety of

performances, children’s songs, dances, tongue twisters, poem recitations, and musical instruments.

According to Fan, “We not only enjoyed a lovely atmosphere of Chinese New Year and fabulous performances, but we also had fun to share cute gifts and traditional Chinese dishes. The School prepared a small gift bag for each student, including cute items related to Chinese.”

Each family contributed a Chinese dish and some main dishes were also provided by the university’s dining service. This allowed attendees the opportunity to sample dishes, as well as traditional Chinese candies and cookies that are not readily available.

The Scranton Chinese School is open to everyone with an interest in Chinese language and culture “and does not discriminate against anyone based on race, color, nationality or

Howard Cheng of Mountaintop said, “I think the program overall is fantastic…the teachers are wonderful. The teachers are giving their own personal resources and time to make this happen. The University of Scranton is providing this space to make this program possible, which as a parent, I’m very grateful…When children are young is the age to learn a foreign language…I think parents ought to know about this.”

Saint Patrick’s parade around the corner

Post-parade activities at the Scranton Cultural Center in 2010.

“State of Pennsylvania” will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade live from The Banshee Pub in downtown Scranton, March 10 at 7 p.m. on WVIA TV. Joining host Bill Kelly will be James Murphy, the 2011 chairman of the parade committee; Patrick Murphy, the parade historian; Attorney John McGee, the 1983 president of the parade committee, other veterans of the parade, bagpipers and

more. Viewers may call in questions during the show at 1.800.326.9842.

On March 12, Northeast Pennsylvania plays host to the 50th annual Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The parade, which ranks as the third largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the country, will have half a million people watching as 5,000 people ride on floats, play in bands, dance, sing and march through the streets of Scranton.

Council President Gerrie Carey was the first council member to propose tabling the ordinance. “… We had a lot of pros and a lot of cons. I think that there’s an awful lot of information out there that we’re not aware of. If council is comfortable, I will recommend that maybe we table it…”

Council member Herman Johnson agreed. “ …I’m glad to hear it is being tabled, but I think it should be probably turned over to the Safety Committee.

And I think the Safety Committee should get with the business people and the Fire Chief too, and sit down and hash this out.

And then come back with a recommendation to the rest of council. And then maybe we can vote on this and put it to rest one way or the other.

Clarks Summit Borough Police Chief Lou Vitale pointed out one drawback of the Knox Box. “… Suppose the fire company opens up this business and they see contraband. Somebody may say because you’ve enacted an ordinance, you’ve now forced me to open my building up and it would be an illegal search if something is found. That’s one thing to look at.”

Approved at the Wednesday meeting was an ordinance to begin a parking ban on one side of Bedford Street. The ban features no street parking on the residential side of the street, and no parking from the corner of West Grove Street to 20 feet past the fire hydrant.

According to Carey, residents of Bedford Street submitted a petition about the parking situation asking for the ban.

Following up a discussion from the Feb. 22 council meeting, members discussed the

issuing of burn permits by the Borough Office, rather than the Fire Department. The current burn permit ordinance states that the fire chief or his designee has to approve a burn permit.

Kehoe made a suggestion that the Clarks Summit Fire Chief, Jake Hoinowski, establish Lori Harris the designee. Harris is the Code Enforcement Officer, according to Kehoe.

Borough Solicitor Pat Rogan said he would like to review the burn permit ordinance as it currently stands to see what can be done.

A borough ordinance put into effect three years ago stated that every three years the board must evaluate the provider of the police pension. The manager of the pension plan is ASCO Financial and the administrator is AFG Pension, according to Kehoe.

Johnson said council members are not suggesting the pension plan run is incorrectly or that they are seeking another plan manager. “We’re not saying the present company is doing a good job or bad job. It’s just we want to see what’s out there.”

Council member Kathy Drake said the current provider is doing well. Johnson suggested that a committee be formed to handle the evaluations. Council member Jim Burke will chair; Johnson and Drake will be on the committee.

Also at the meeting, it was voted that Kehoe could release the Act 537 Sewage Facility plan for public view. The drafted plan is approximately 862 pages, according to Kehoe. The public is allowed to view the draft at the borough building or when the electronic version is loaded onto the Clarks Summit Borough Website, www.clarkssummitboro.org/.

Council will meet March 29 at 7 p.m.

The Waverly Community House announces that Attorney James Reid and his wife, Karen will chair the 2011 Sustaining Fund campaign. Said Karen of their commitment to lead this year’s donation drive: “Jim and I enjoyed sharing our home for the Comm’s 2010 Holiday House Tour and felt that this was an additional opportunity to continue doing what we could to benefit the Comm.” Both Jim and Karen grew up with the Comm as their “go to” spot. “We used the Comm for Waverly School gym class, scouts, recreational basketball, summer camp, Christmas pageants, roller skating, birthday and Halloween parties,” she added.

Karen has served on numerous special activities committees and was a member of the Comm’s Board of Trustees for seven years. She learned about charitable volunteerism through the examples of both her parents. Her father, Robert, served as President of the Board of Trustees and her mother, Lois, has been a longstanding member of the Waverly Woman’s Club. Both have chaired numerous special events throughout the years. In addition, her family has some very special connection to the Community House — as it was Karen’s great uncle, George M. D.

Thelma E. Rogal March 1, 2011

Shown, Dr. Tata Mbugua, library director Leah Rudolph, and financial advisor Lenora Cunningham meet at the Abington Community Library to discuss the upcoming series on financial literacy for all ages.

Thelma E. Rogal, 88, formerly of Chinchilla, died Tuesday morning at Cedarbrook Nursing Home in Allentown.

She was the wife of Theodore R. Rogal, Macungie. The couple was married more than 65 years.

Born in Scranton, she was the daughter of the late Almon and Luella McGeehan Sutton. She was a veteran of World War II, serving in the Marine Corps Women’s Reserves. She was a woman of

De-mystifying finances Abington Community Library offers free series On the subject of financial literacy, there is always something new to learn, no matter what the age or financial status and the Abington Community Library is prepared to help. According to a 2010 American Express survey of parents with children between the ages of 6-16, one in five children (20 percent) has indicated to a parent that, “maybe we shouldn’t buy that due to the recession.” A 2009 Capital One annual back-toschool survey of more than 1,150 parents and teens found 13 percent of teens said their parents never discuss money with them. A National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Inc. survey found that 41 percent of U.S. adults, or more than 92 million people living in America, gave themselves a grade of C, D or F on their knowledge of personal finance, suggesting there is considerable room for improvement. In an effort to be responsive to our community, The Abington Community Library has partnered with community leaders to bring “Financial Literacy for All Ages” to the library in spring, featuring financial literacy in a free series for all ages that will address the above and so much more.

The Business Education Department of Abington Heights High School has coordinated student volun-

teers to facilitate sessions for Grades K - 3 with “Right on the Money,” a Pennsylvania Office of Financial Education resource. Sessions will be held April 2, 9, 16 and 30 at 11:40 a.m. at the library and will last approximately 40 minutes. Children who participate in all four sessions will be awarded a prize to get them started on the road to financial success.

Additionally, the Library gratefully received financial support from Perry Rose of Rose·Holcomb·Ross: Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors to purchase Junior Achievement® resources to support the financial literacy sessions for Grades 4 - 6, “More than Money,” and Grades 7 - 12, “Personal Finance.” Dr. Tata J. Mbugua Ph.D., University of Scranton, coordinated undergraduate/graduate students to facilitate these sessions. Both age groups will meet for approximately 90 minutes April 8, 29, and May 6, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the library. There will be special incentives offered to students who make the commitment to attend all three sessions in their respective series, sponsored by Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank and ACL Teen Leadership Committee.

Finally, the adult sessions, “Demystifying Financial Literacy,” will be facilitated

by local finance professionals. Veronica Dende will kick the series off with “Understanding Annuities” March 21. Perry Rose will present “Asset Allocations and Diversification in a Fickle Market” March 30. Lenora Cunningham and Mark Lynn will present “Retirement Planning in Turbulent Times” April 7.

Michele Onofrey will present on “Understanding Long Term Care Insurance” April 11. “Estate and Will Planning” will be presented April 18 with the Sheils Law Firm.

Finally, Consumer Credit Counseling Service of NEPA will present “The Road to Financial Fitness: When the Month is Longer than the Money” April 25. All sessions will begin at 7 p.m. at the library.

The library is grateful for these collaborative opportunities as well as the generosity of time, talent, and financial support of all involved, without which this series for all ages would not be available.

For detailed information on each session, visit lclshome.org/abington, Library Events, or stop by the library, 1200 West Grove Street, Clarks Summit, for a flyer. Call 570.587.3440 to register, spaces are limited.

AH board rejects charter

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- The Abington Heights School Board voted, 9-0, to reject a charter application submitted by the Howard Gardner School for Discovery during its monthly work session March 2.

Abington Heights School Board President Cathy Hardaway said the details of why the board chose to reject the charter will be put in a written opinion that will be drafted by the district’s solicitor John Audi.

The school filed for a charter in November 2010, and met with the Abington Heights School Board Dec. 27 and Feb. 9 to give administration and members of board a chance to ask questions of Howard Gardner School Director Vince Rizzo.

Rizzo said in a phone interview that he was not surprised by the vote, but appreciated the way the school district handled their charter submission.

“Abington did an excellent job of going through the process,” said Rizzo.

“They came to tour our building, they asked a lot of questions, and they seemed interested in what we do here.

Unfortunately they decided to reject it based upon what they felt were their best interests.”

Howard Gardner is located in Scranton, but due to the fact that 60 percent of its students are residents of Abington Heights and Scranton school districts, it applied for a charter in both districts.

The Scranton School District voted on the charter March 7, and rejected it by a vote of 7-0.

Rizzo said he is planning on taking the case to the state’s charter appeal board. The school will need to collect 1,000 signatures in each school district that rejects the charter to appeal, and the school has already begun collecting signatures in the greater Abington area.

Any Abington Heights or Scranton school district resident wishing to sign a petition can visit Howard Gardner at 134 School St., Scranton, or call at 570.941.4100 and a petition will be sent.

In other business, the board heard from concerned parent Thomas Bradley whose daughter was scheduled to be enrolled in the transitional first-grade class at Newton Ransom Elementary School for the 2011-2012 school year.

Bradley said he discovered last week that the transitional class is one of several programs that may be cut when the school board votes on the final budget in June. He asked the board what will happen to his daughter, and other students also scheduled to be enrolled in the transitional class, if the program is eliminated.

“The result is going to be the students, who would otherwise go to transition, will go directly into first grade. And we are going to work very hard to make sure that the students receive the proper services, and that they are successful in their first grade classes,” said Superintendent Michael Mahon.

The board will meet March 16 at the Abington Heights Administration Building, 200 Grove St., Clarks Summit.

Each contestant was required to build a bridge which met specific design requirements such as it must be made from 3/32-inch square basswood, weigh no more than 25 grams, be no longer than 400 millimeters, no taller than 150 millimeters and no wider than 80 millimeters, according to co-director Donald Kieffer.

competition. This weekend’s competition was his fourth, his older brother won the contest several times and his sister took second place last year.

He said the results of his bridge test were “not phenomenal.” However, bridge building is a fun way to get involved in the sciences, he added.

Each contestant was required to build a bridge which met specific design requirements such as it must be made from 3/32inch square basswood, weigh no more than 25 grams, be no longer than 400 millimeters, no taller than 150 millimeters and no wider than 80 millimeters, according to co-director Donald Kieffer. Several judges from local universities and engineering firms reviewed the bridges before they were weight tested, Kieffer said.

In addition to the efficiency awards, an excellence in architecture award was won by Zach Smith from Elkland Area High School, Tioga County, according to Kieffer. That award focused more on the aesthetic quality of the bridge. Kieffer said this year’s competitors showed a flair for uniqueness in their designs.

Kieffer is confident the top two winners will have a good shot in international competitions. They will have time to perfect their designs after seeing them tested, he added.

Matthew Novak from Wyoming Valley West High School finished in sixth place and Daniel Tomko from Hanover Area School District finished 16th.

Bullies beware

Deputy District Attorney, Juvenile Division, Frank Castellano spoke to the third and fourth grade classes at Newton Ransom Elementary School March 2 regarding the issue of bullying and harassment. He mentioned, in particular, the issue of bullying harassment through technology, such as social media websites like Facebook, Myspace along with cell phones, text messages and email.

“I think the message I really wanted to leave them with is, if you are harassing somebody, if you are bullying somebody, not only is it inappropriate, not only is it bad behavior, sometimes it is criminal. And, if it is criminal you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted, and there are serious consequences to that,” said Castellano.

Abington Heights, Our Lady of Peace students advance to state finals Students prepare for Odyssey of the Mind at a dress rehearsal March 2 at the Abington Heights administration building on Grove Street, Clarks Summit.

BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

Ryan Balton, public relations director for Northeast Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind said, “The teams from Abington Heights and Our Lady of Peace have been an important and competitive part of our region for many years. We’re always thankful for the support the coaches, judges, tournament officials and volunteers from their schools. Their teams always strive for excellence and embody the creative spirit of Odyssey of the Mind.”

On March 5, the Odyssey of the Mind regional tournament was held at Pocono Mountain West with 75 teams from around the northeast region competing. Teams from Abington Heights school district and Our Lady of Peace School in Clarks Green participated.

Mary Beth Adelman, coordinator for the Abington Heights school district, which included teams from the elementary, middle and high schools, provided the results from this past weekend’s competition.

Adelman said, “Odyssey of the Mind is a worldwide creative problem solving competition. The students work in teams of five to seven members, and compete in three different divisions depending on their age. Teams compete on three levels, long-term, spontaneous and style. In the long -term competition, the team delivers an eight-minute performance to solve their problem, which they have worked on for months. The spontaneous competition counts for roughly half the score, and that is given to the team only minutes before they are to solve it.”

The results of the competition are as follows.

National Merit Scholar finalists named The National Merit Scholarship Program has advanced two students from Holy Cross High School in Dunmore to finalist status in the annual competition for more than $36 million in scholarship funds to be awarded this spring, according to an announcement by National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Seniors Emily Peduto and Alex Rojek were named semifinalists last September from among 1.5 million students who took the PSATs (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test). Their scores placed them in the top 15,000 students across the nation.

Semifinalists are designated on a state representational basis. About a third of the 50,000 high scorers qualify as Semifinalists. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state.

Peduto and Rojek both have a perfect 800 score in the Writing section of the SAT test. They advanced to finalist status based on their high school academic and

extra-curricular careers and will compete for 8,400 student scholarships awarded by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation across the United States.

Peduto is the daughter of Beth Haiges-Peduto, Jermyn, and the late Michael Peduto.

Rojek is the son of Lynda and Edward Rojek, Scott Twp.

The Merit Scholarship program requires that all finalists have a record of “consistently very high” academic performance in all of grades 9 through 12, including any college course work taken.

bringing his wife, Mary, and the rest of the family. And because there were no roads, they dragged their belongings on the kind of contraption that the Indians used…”

Clark Whitney shared stories about her life and when Peck asked if Clark Whitney had ducks and geese, she said, “We didn’t have any – oh, wait, my father had a pet duck that followed him all over but didn’t raise ducks and her eggs weren’t much because we didn’t have a drake. When I was very small, I guess I was about four years old or something like that, my grandfather bought me about six Bandy hens. They were my pets. ...We had all our own fruit, all our own vegetables and we had chickens and eggs and we had our own pork from my greatgrandfather. So it was kind of a self-sufficient place.”

She said, “When the Clarks came to the area… Deacon William Clark brought with him seeds for apple trees. They were the original apple orchards from the seeds that Deacon William Clark brought. That’s where the Clark apple came from.”

Throughout her life, Clark Whitney remained actively involved in her community as a member of the Clarks Green United Methodist Church, the Waverly Woman’s Club, Mercy Hospital Auxiliary, the YWCA and also worked in the Community Chest and Humane Society campaigns.

She was former chairwoman of the education department of the Century Club, editor of the Centennial Club Bulletin, and former representative of the Century Club to the Pa. Federation of Women’s Clubs.

According to Clarks Summit historian Dennis Martin, who has extensively researched the history of the Clark family, “She (Doris Clark Whitney) left about senior year to go to the city because her father worked for her grandfather. But then times got a little tougher. What happened is that all of the stuff he was doing was for the wealthy, essentially: jewelry, furs, fancy wagons. He only did the best, sold the watches, but only the best, so that when times got tough, there wasn’t enough work. So Doris’ father moved to Scranton. She didn’t like it. She hated Scranton, but she spent most of her career there. She was a graduate of Scranton High.”

Ancestry of Doris Clark Whitney According to Lackawanna Historical Society records, Doris Clark Whitney’s ancestry dates back to Deacon William Clark, Clarks Summit and Clarks Green founding father.

Deacon William Clark was born in Plainfield, R. I. (or, perhaps, Connecticut), in 1757. He moved to the Abingtons about 1800 with his wife Mary, six sons and three daughters: Jeremiah married Sophia Hall William married Naty Philips John married Sally Reynolds Samuel married Rebecca Stone George married Hulda Rice Silas married Sally Tripp Ruth married Harvey Purdy Polly married Stephan Reynolds Amy never married Samuel (b. Jun. 4, 1794 d.

Dec. 23, 1866) married Rebecca Stoddard (another source says Stone) (b. 1795 d.

Jan. 1, 1868).

Samuel and Rebecca had a son, Samuel Jr. (b. Jan. 8, 1828 d. Dec. 5, 1880). He married Carrissa Delia Benedict (b. Dec. 8, 1839 d.

May 14, 1891).

Samuel Jr. and Carrissa had a son Truman Edward Clark (1860-1948) who married Ella Elizabeth Smith (1862-1938).

Their son Berton S. Clark (b.

1883 d. 1966) married Caroline Watkins (b. 1881 d.

1967).

They had two daughters, Doris and Jean. Jean was deceased at the time of an April 1992 interview with Doris as part of the Lackawanna Historical Society Women’s Oral History Project .

Among Doris’ children: Neil E. died in 1947, Janet Massey date of death unknown, Wade died July 24, 2010, and Frank died Jan. 23, 2011. Nancy Burke was still alive at that time.

At the time of her death, Clark Whitney had an extensive lineage, including 25 grandchildren, nine step-grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; 16 step great-grandchildren; six greatgreat grandchildren; six stepgreat-great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. Her husband Neil Whitney died December 6, 1974.

Scouting Scene With Tyler VanGorder

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2011

Pieces of the Abingtons

Teamwork at the Klondike Derby February was a month jampacked with tons of scouting events. These events varied from a race of scouting skills to a church mass.

The first event of the month was the Klondike Derby. The derby was held at Goose Pond Boy Scout Reservation Feb. 11 and 12. Those who came on the 11th were given the opportunity to get a night of camping before the big day. The race started around 9 a.m. Saturday morning, Feb. 12. Prior to the race, scouts built a sled and packed it will all of the equipment they would need. During the race the scouts went to stations all around the camp pulling their sleds with them. At the stations the scouts had to work with their patrols to do a task given by an instructor and were scored upon teamwork, scout spirit and task completion.

Some stations included fire building, shelter building and orienteering.

Later this month we had a second parents’ night. That night we reminded the parents of some future events and ex-

plained new policies.

A week later on February 24 we had our weblos II night.

Weblo II is the Cub Scout rank before the transition into Boy Scouts. Weblo is an acronym for we be loyal scouts. That night the Boy Scouts put on demonstrations of different scout skills to stir an interest in Boy Scouts for the weblos.

The United Methodist Church of Clarks Summit is very kind to troop 160 by giving us a hall to have our meetings and a closet to keep all of our equipment. In February, Troop 160 demonstrated its gratitude by attending and participating in one of the church’s masses.

The Klondike takes a lot of teamwork to be successful. It is up to the patrol leader to instruct his patrol and make sure they are doing what they are told. Remember a scout is obedient.

Tyler VanGorder has the rank of Life in Boy Scout Troop 160 from Clarks Summit. He is a ninth grade student at Abington Heights High School. For more information, visit troop160bsa.org.

CLARKS GREEN - This month’s meeting of the Abington Council of Governments opened with an invitation to a meeting sponsored by Community Counts March 30 at 7 p.m. at the Newton Recreation Center, 1814 Newton Ransom Blvd., Clarks Summit. The meeting will address the rights of local communities in light of the natural gas drilling being conducted in many local areas.

Linda Nealon issued the invitation on behalf of Community Counts. She explained that the meeting is meant, “to enlighten the community on the negative impacts of drilling.” She said that a representative of The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund would be in attendance to inform communities of their rights and legal action available to them. “It’s a civil rights issue.” Nealon urged the communities to stand together because “They’re (gas drilling companies) not going away; they’re hear to stay. We have to think of the future, not what’s going on initially.”

Also discussed at the meeting was the progress of council member Lee Jamison in creating a database to track earned income tax for each municipality. Jamison has been in contact with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, regarding this issue. “They have been very cooperative and very helpful,” said Jamison.

The other members of council were interested in communicating the tax information to their municipalities. They discussed the format this database would take and the possibility of working together rather then each on its own.

Eclectic exhibit

Angels Galeria on Depot Street will welcome the eclectic work of photographer Joe Statuto in March.

Rather than commit himself to one style, he has become known for working with many different styles over the years.

“Because my work can be so diversified, the first thing people will say. ‘Is this all the same artist?’” said Statuto.

The show will begin March 11, from 5 to 9 p.m. at “2nd Friday Celebration.”

A graduate of Penn State University with a Bachelor of Fine Art, concentration in painting, Statuto began working with digital photography almost 10 years ago.

The exhibit will feature 10 to 15 of the Clarks Summit resident’s recent work. The pieces range from nature shots at Fords Pond and a recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park.

A number of books at the Abington Community Library are appropriate for teaching children the value of good nutrition and exercise. They can, of course, be helpful 12 months of the year, but are especially timely during the month of March, designated by the American Dietetic Association as National Nutrition Month to educate and inform young and old alike of the benefits of healthy foods. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. This year’s theme is “Eat Right with Color.”

“My Food Pyramid,” by Alisha Niehaus. Eat right.

Exercise. Have fun. The Pyramid helps children choose foods that taste good and help them make smart decisions. Keeping in mind the colors orange, green, red, yellow, blue, and purple, representing the stripes on the Pyramid that represent the five different food groups, will encourage them to eat a food from each group every day.

“The Food Pyramid,” by Christine Taylor-Butler.

Here again children will read about taking steps to eat well and keep active by remembering the colors of the Food Pyramid: orange (grains), green (vegetables), red (fruits), blue (milk and other calciumrich foods), purple (protein), and yellow (oils).

Why does the “new” Pyramid have a “staircase?”

This is a reminder to children that exercise is also a big part of a healthful lifestyle.

“Run and Hike, Play and Bike: What is Physical

Activity?” by Brian P. Cleary. Silly verses and humorous illustrations give young readers a whole playground of activities and highlight some of the health benefits of exercise. It’s an “energy booster” of a book, providing general information about physical activity in accordance with the MyPyramid guidelines created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“Fitness for Young People,” by Simon Frost. The aim of this book is to let adults and children know why children between the ages of 8 and 15 should take regular exercise. It includes a wide range of safe, fun, and practical exercises that children can easily follow to achieve a new level of general fitness, based on the “Flowmotion Fitness” technique developed by the author.

Photographer and author Ken Robbins believes every kind of food has its story. For National Nutrition Month, go behind the scenes and discover the stories he has to tell about some of the foods people consume every day. “Food for Thought: the Stories Behind the Things We Eat” is part of the children’s collection. With the help of informative and large-as-life photos, discover that many of the foods often taken for granted are not only delicious, but fascinating.

SCRANTON - Spring is almost here, which for some means the beginning of Little League baseball. The Electric Theatre Company will offer a glimpse of what that experience is like for two fathers who decide to coach a team with a staging of “Rounding Third.”

Opening March 11, “Rounding Third” tells the story of Don, a win-at-all-costs veteran coach, and Michael, a newcomer both to the town and to baseball. Looking for an activity to do with his son, Michael agrees to be Don’s assistant coach.

“The play is really about these two guys who are so opposite, and would never spend a minute together if they weren’t coaching together,” said director Mary Ethel Schmidt.

Over the course of the season the two men learn from one another, not just about baseball, but also about how to live. Schmidt said she feels the play will be appealing to everyone, not just baseball fans.

“Little League is the vehicle in which these men figure out how to live. It’s so relatable on every level. It’s going to be fun evening of entertainment, and wisdom,” said Schmidt.

Schmidt said she became aware of the play two years ago when Jerry Durkin, then a student at the Griffin Conservatory at the Electric Theatre Company, presented it to her as a possible piece to be performed at the conservatory.

problem.

“Rehearsals have been so much fun, because they’re so much fun to be with,” said Schmidt.

“They’re not only talented, but they’re extremely generous. They give each other the time and space they need to work. They’re both superb gentlemen.”

With the play set to officially open this weekend, Schmidt said she’s looking forward to seeing it in front of an audience, and one audience member in particular.

“Rounding Third’s” author, playwright Richard Dresser will be in attendance for the Friday night showing.

Schmidt said the writing is Tom Tansey, right, and Jerry Durkin are featured in ‘Rounding Third’ by one of the main elements that attracted her to the play.

Heading ‘Into the Woods’ way.”

“The first act is straightforward and fun, but then in the second act you’re just dealing with so much drama, and it really clicks and comes together and tells you about how communities should work together, and you shouldn’t always just wish for things without thinking about them,” said Allie Gee, who plays the Baker’s Wife.

Andrews and Gee, both seniors, have been members of the drama department since freshmen year. Both girls said they are excited about the production, which they referred to as the largest and most complicated of which they have been a part.

Director John Zachary Monahan agreed with the girls’ sentiments, saying he and musical director Susan Kelly discussed the challenges the play would bring, and ultimately decided this was the perfect year to give it a try.

“She and I both agreed that we had the voices to do it this year, the vocal talent,” said Monahan. “It’s really an ensemble piece, there are 21 principal characters who speak and sing.”

‘HOLIDAY’ performance

Rev. Bill Carter, an accomplished jazz pianist and pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit.

ANGELS

Billie Holiday was just 44 years old when she died in1959.

But her contribution to the music world – and to jazz in particular – includes a lasting legacy of jazz standards she co-wrote, including “God Bless the Child,” “Lady Sings the Blues,” and “Good Morning Heartache.”

On March13, at 4 p.m., in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit, Jacque Tara Washington – herself an accomplished jazz vocalist and actress – will bring Holiday’s artistry and personal experiences to life in a 90-minute musical drama, “Billie’s Diary.”

fering will be taken to help support the arts series. A reception will follow.

Self-penned by Washington, “Billie’s Diary” takes the audience on a journey through Holiday’s music, offering glimpses into the personal pages of Holiday’s diary and revealing how she found solace and comfort in the songs she sang, the musicians with whom she worked and the audiences for whom she performed. Script and songs are skillfully interwoven, and Washington captures Holiday’s trademark style of manipulating phrasing and tempo. After a performance of “Billie’s Diary” in Syracuse, New York, Neil Novelli of the Syracuse Post-

Standard, wrote that the musical drama was “beautifully infused with the artistry not only of jazz great Billie Holiday, but also that of Jacque Tara Washington.”

Washington will be accompanied by members of the Presbybop Quartet, led by the Rev. Bill Carter, an accomplished jazz pianist and pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit. Formed in1993, the Presbybop Quartet has performed in churches throughout the country and recorded seven compact discs.

Steamtown Site to screen ‘Dreams of Equality,’ March12,19 Steamtown National Historic Site, downtown Scranton, in partnership with Women’s Rights National Historical Park, will screen the film documentary, “Dreams of Equality” to help celebrate “Women’s History Month” during March.

The 27-minute film will be screened at 1 p.m. Saturdays, March 12 and 19, and is included in the park’s daily Entrance Fee. “Dreams of Equality,” which was commissioned by the National Park Service for Women’s Rights National Historical Park’s Visitor Center in Seneca Falls, New York, is a “documentary drama that chronicles the early struggles of the Women’s Rights Movement.

It personalizes them

through an exchange of letters between a sister and brother.

History comes to life as dramatic recreations of the First Women’s Rights Convention held in 1848 and other historical events are combined with contemporary segments in which young people engage in candid exchanges about the roles of men and women.

Issues of political equity, traditional women’s roles, marital finances and educational opportunities for girls are still relevant today - almost 160 years later.”

Located in downtown Scranton, Steamtown National Historic Site is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Jeremy Ruby named Director of Athletics and Development ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/ ELLEN BUGNO

BY DON MCGLYNN AND T’SHAIYA STEPHENSON 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. “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 in a phone interview Tuesday, that he has some ideas for fundraising that he would like to implement, but did not want to disclose them yet. “The key is for me is to get acclimated with the Athletic Director Program first and foremost.”

Ruby, who first saw the job opening posted in the newspaper, said he felt honored the district chose him. “To me it’s one of the premier districts in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania.”

He said the people in the

They are the champions Lady Comets claim the District 2 Class AAAA championship

BY DON MCGLYNN dmcglynn@theabingtonjournal.com

WILKES-BARRE - After a slow start, the Abington Heights High School girls basketball team rallied to win their second District 2 championship in two years.

Trailing 12-3 at the end of the first quarter, the defending District 2 Class AAA champion Lady Comets fought back to finish with a 46-42 win over Williamsport March 4 in the District 2 Class AAAA Championships at King’s College Scandlon Gym. “It’s great to win back -to -back championships,” said head coach Vince Bucciarelli. “The girls never quit. We were down 11-1 but they never quit, so I was really happy with that.”

“Everyone was so down on us this year, and the girls came through.”

Williamsport began the game with a commanding 8-0 lead in the first quarter.

After being sent to the line, Maggie Fruehan got Abington Heights on the scoreboard to make the score 8-1. Late in the quarter, Lauren Hoyt cut to the basket for a layup to give the Lady Comets three points going into the second quarter.

Down but not out, the Lady Comets opened the quarter with four points from Fruehan and slowly began to chip away at Williamsport’s lead.

The girls went on an 8-0 run that was capped off by a Tiffany O’Donnell steal.

She brought the ball down court for a layup to tie the game 17-17.

Williamsport regained the lead before the close of the half. Up 19-17, going into the third quarter Williamsport extended their lead to four in the opening of the second half.

The Lady Comets answered back with a 6-0 run to regain the lead, and outscore Williamsport 19-13 in the third quarter.

Fruehan, who led the Lady Comets in scoring with 25 points, scored 10 of her points in the third quarter.

“We were able to get the ball to Maggie Fruehan, that was the key,” said Bucciarelli, of the team’s second-half success.

“We got the ball to her, and in the first quarter we weren’t able to, and that opened it up, and little by little we caught up and caught up.”

Abington Heights led by as much as eight during the fourth quarter, and held onto the lead to become district champions.

Hoyt finished the game with eight points, O’Donnell with nine and Hashem with four.

Rachel Fatherly led Williamsport with 20 points.

The Lady Comets defeated Wyoming Valley West 38-21 March 1, in the District 2 Class AAAA semifinals to advance to the championship on Friday.

Hashem led the team in scoring 17 points.

Kate Smicherko led Wyoming Valley West with 10 points.

The Lady Comets are currently preparing to take on Upper Dublin March 11 at 6 p.m. at Marywood University.

Craig, Fruehan and Laytos will represent Abington Heights and Lackawanna Trail at PIAA Wrestling Championships

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE Abington Journal Correspondent

Morgan Craig knows all about the excitement that comes with being in Hershey for the PIAA Wrestling Championships. He watched his older brother, Evan, win the state title at heavyweight the past two seasons. Now it’s his turn to try to bring the gold medal home to Abington Heights High School.

“It means a lot,” Craig said of advancing to states in his senior season. “I’ve been working pretty hard the past four years. The atmosphere there is spectacular. It’s like no other wrestling atmosphere out there.”

The senior fell to Williamsport’s Tim Maeshack in the championship semifinals at regionals, but rebounded by winning his next two matches to advance to the states.

“I learned that I’m fairly confident. I can compete with just about anyone down there,” Craig said. “I think I should be able to surprise some people.”

Craig plans to use his brother experiences to his advantage as he prepares for his first trip to the PIAA Championships.

“I will absolutely be going to him for advice,” he said.

“I’ll be talking with him every night this week about everything he has done there the past two years. What I need to do, what not to do.”

Abington Heights head coach Chris Calder is confident that Craig can be a strong contender for the heavyweight title.

“I think he can make a real deep run in states,” Calder said. “I told him I hope to be the last coach to leave the Giant Center on Saturday night. That would put him in the final, and on top of the medal stand.”

Craig (27-4) will face Josh Duplin (30-5) of WestmontHilltop in the first round.

James Fruehan (152) will also represent the Comets in Hershey after rallying in regionals to place third. Fruehan lost his preliminary match to Pottsville’s Ty Gardner in overtime, but was able to string together four straight wins including a pin of Gardner in the consolation semifinals.

“It was a different start,” Fruehan said. “It’s not the way you want to start. I just had to keep a good mindset and not let the first match determine the tournament. After the loss, I tried to stay focused and take one match at a time.”

Calder had a feeling that the senior was determined to finish the tournament strong after the loss.

“When I saw his mindset on Saturday morning, I knew it was gonna be a short day for some of his opponents,” he said.

After finishing in fourth at regionals last season, Fruehan wouldn’t be denied as four years of hard work is being paid off with a trip to the state championships.

“It’s what every kid wants in his high school career,” Fruehan said. “Now I want to medal, but just making it to Hershey is an accomplishment in itself. I’m very happy.”

The senior plans to continue his normal routine in preparation for the weekend’s matches.

“I’ll be doing the same things that got me there,” he said. “I’ll be well conditioned and hitting my shots. I’m just gonna try to keep my mind clear and everything should fall into itself.”

Fruehan (24-7) will face off against Southeast Regional champion Chance Marsteller

Abington Heights grad’s versatility helps Muhlenberg on court

BY JOHN GORDON Abington Journal Correspondent

To say that Muhlenberg basketball player Spencer Liddic, 21, from Clarks Summit, is versatile would be an understatement. The 2008 Abington Heights High School graduate demonstrated multifaceted abilities both academically and athletically in high school and has taken those attributes to a whole new level in college.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound power forward is predominately a left- handed player.

However, Liddic baffled opponents this year as he began using his right hand in more game situations. The strategy paid off for the junior, double majoring in business and finance, as he led the Mules and the Centennial Conference in scoring (20.4) and rebounding (9.8) while garnering CoSIDA Division III Academic All-American team honors.

“Spencer is a coach’s dream,” said Muhlenberg head coach Scott McClary. “He is a model and involved student, and of course, the best player in our conference.”

Liddic used a right -handed hook shot on two occasions to pull out victories for the Mules this season, according to McClary.

“He hit those shots from 10 and 12 feet… right -handed,” McClary said. “That is impressive for a Division 3 player, let alone a left- hander.”

Liddic said he focused on practicing and developing the right hand this year and that it paid off in game situations.

“Opponents are not used to defending a left -handed player,” Liddic said. “It forces them off their game defensively and makes them have to go to the right to stop me.”

Nothing seemed to stop Spencer this year, as he was named to the Centennial Conference first team for the second straight year. Liddic achieved a multitude of impressive marks this season, including the Muhlenberg single-season scoring mark established by Bob McClure 40 years ago. The power forward needed 18 points in the season’s final game, an 82-53 victory over Ursinus. He netted 19 to finish with 509 points.

Liddic also reached 1,000 points for his career this season in just 67 games. He is currently 15th in career points

(1,221) and 16th in career rebounds (712) in the Centennial Conference with a full season ahead of him.

Liddic is proud of his accomplishments so far, but he makes it clear, the team chemistry the Mules have achieved has meant the most to him.

“My teammates and coaches have been very supportive all year long,” Liddic said.

“We really came together as a team this year, whether during a winning streak or losing streak.”

Spencer says he has learned valuable lessons in both victory and defeat, but the most important lessons he learned are rooted in family, friends, Clarks Summit and Abington Heights High School.

Liddic is the son of Janice and Steven Liddic. He has a brother, Connor, 24 and a sister, Addie, 27.

“My parents had me trying all kinds of different sports and activities,” Liddic said.

“Basketball just stuck with me.”

Spencer started sticking jump shot shots in the AYBL (Abington Youth Basketball League) at the age of six. That early start in the sport transcended into a highly successful career for the Comets from 2004 to 2008.

The culmination of his achievements at the high school level took place on February 24, 2008 at the District 2-4 Class AAAA Title game in Berwick. The Comets fought relentlessly and pulled out an 86-77 4OT win in a thriller over Williamsport to earn the championship trophy.

“I would have to say that win was my fondest high school basketball memory,” Liddic said. “It was great for me and great for my teammates too.”

College has been a great experience according to Liddic as well.

“Everything I learned from my Abington teachers, coaches, teammates and friends has helped me at Muhlenberg,” Liddic said. “In practices, games and my studies those people helped me prepare for college.”

Liddic says the hardest thing to adjust to at the next level was managing his time between athletics, work, and studying. He is currently interning in Bethlehem with Valley National Financial Advisors, while double majoring in business and finance at Muhlenberg.
