Festival boasts ‘super’ theme

By Elizabeth Baumeister and Gerard Nolan Abington Journal Staff

T

he Abington Business and Professional Association’s (ABPA) Annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice is always met with excitement from the community, but this year’s theme, according to ABPA President and Festival chair person Barry Kaplan, is generating even more enthusiasm than usual.

Now on its ninth year, the event will be held in downtown Clarks Summit Feb. 14 through 18. Kaplan said this year’s theme of “Sub Zero Superheroes” is grabbing the attention of a broad audience of all ages.

“Everyone has a favorite superhero,” he explained.

And his?

“Underdog,” he said, “Savior of the Trampled.”

ABPA Executive Director Laura Ancherani, whose favorite superhero is Iron Man, described the event as, “A free gift to the community that helps to support not only our local businesses but our local art scene as well.”

“It’s great for anyone of any age,” she continued, “and is unique from other festivals in the way that it combines community, family and the arts together. It has something for kids to adults. You can have a blast watching an ice sculpture be carved during the day then stroll the streetsatnightforalittlebitof romance.”

She said her favorite part of the event is watching the live ice carvings and seeing the sculptures lit up at night.

Kaplan said he looks forward to “the crowds, the bustle, the magic of the ice,” and his favorite aspect of the event is “the community’s enjoyment, the creativity people bring to it.”

D O N ’ T M I S S T H E S E R E L AT E D ACTIVITIES * Comic Convention............................Pages 4, 5 * Superhero Luncheon and Party..........Page 17 * Parade and Family Fun Faire..........Page 13, 15 * See the Batmobile on display Saturday, Feb. 16 at the 400 block of State Street.

This year holds plenty of opportunities for that creativity with its lineup of interactive entertainment.

“Each year the event grows and evolves based off of the theme,” Ancherani said.

“This year we will be having a Comic Convention as part of the theme. In past years we have hosted a tea party, renaissance actors, and so on, all based off our theme.”

Headlining the convention is artist Neal Adams, a legend in the world of comic books, according to Dave Romeo, owner of Comics on the Green, Scranton.

“He’s just a huge talent in

this industry—way ahead of his time, too,” Romeo said of Adams, who is perhaps best known for his iconic imagery of Batman.

Joseph Figured, convention promoter, said fans will be able to purchase souvenirs from Adams and the various other guests and vendors at the convention to have them autograph while there. He said the convention will feature more than 20 individuals, some independent artists and others more notable.

“It is not only nice to get the big name guys,” he said. “But also the up-and-coming ones.”

He said of Adams’ visit, “He’s going to have a very impressive collection of artwork and prints.”

Adams said he’s a “huge fan” of ice sculpture and is excited to greet fans from the Abingtons.

“I like to spend time with people,” he said of attending conventions. “I like people, I like to understand how they think.”

As an ABPA member representing Everything Natural and Classic Properties, Kaplan said the festival is an opportunity for the local businesses to “show off what a good community we live in.” He added that one of the ABPA’s goals is to help provide the things that make a ty “a better place to live comand play in.” muni-

Local student’s art featured

By Arielle Kovalich Abington Journal Correspondent

A local aspiring illustrator’s artwork will have a chance to shine, superhero style. Rebecca Vagnarelli, 19, of Jermyn, is a student at Marywood University where she studies illustration. Vagnarelli’s superhero art is being featured on adverVagnarelli tising materials for this year’s Festival of Ice: Sub Zero Superheroes. Her Superman sketch is a perfect example of her talent

and love for art. “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved making art, my favorite subject in school was art, and my mother always said I was going to be an artist,” she shared. “I picked Superman because for this occasion he has all the tools he needs. He has ice breath to make ice and laser vision to sculpt.”

Although she has chosen to stay as a student and artist for now, Vagnarelli shares what superhero she would be if she had the option, “I would just like to be a great detective like Batman. He doesn’t have super powers, but he’s super smart and good at almost everything.”

COMIC-CON ON ICE

By Gerard Nolan and Elizabeth Baumeister

A fan and collector of comics for 25 years, Comic Convention Promoter Joseph Figured asked himself about 15 years ago, “What better thing to do than put on a show?”

Since then, he has been organizing “comic-cons” in the Williamsport and Scranton areas, and Sunday, Feb. 17, he will bring the fun to the Clarks Summit Elementary School, 401 West Grove St., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Headlining the convention is artist Neal Adams, perhaps best known for his iconic images of Batman, Green Lantern, X-Men and other superheroes. He has worked for comic book giants DC Comics and Marvel Comics as well as other, smaller operations, including his own. When not attending conventions, his professional efforts are dedicated to his commercial art firm, Neal Adams Continuity Productions.

“He changed the look of comic books,” said Dave Romeo, owner of Comics on the Green in Scranton. “He still draws the definitive batman that people think of.”

Adams expressed excitement for the convention, especially the chance to interact with fans and see some ice sculptures. He said this will be his first visit to the region and his first time attending a comic convention that features ice sculptures.

“This kind of stuff, maybe to a normal citizen, doesn’t have the greatest significance,” he said. “But to comic book fans and people who are into movies and computer games, they’re very significant, and very often their lives are touched by some comic book story they may have read or a book they may have read, and they’re perfectly willing to tell you about it in no uncertain terms, and that’s delightful.”

Figured said the convention will feature more than 20 guests, some of whom are well -known creators, and others up-and-coming artists and writers. He said many will have samples of their work available for sale and autographing. He said the convention will also offer door prizes, including a grand prize “jam piece,” which will be conglomeration of artwork by the various visiting illustrators.

Admission to the convention is $3.

Keystone College will provide free shuttle service between the campus and downtown Clarks Summit.

The Batmobile will be in town the day before the convention, Feb. 16, in the 400 block of S. State St. Convention guests include: Neal Adams. Writer/artist whose noSee GUESTS, Page 5

Carving out a niche

By Arielle Kovalich Abington Journal Correspondent

W

hile some despise the winter weather and the ice and snow that accompany the season, others find it ideal for their everyday job.

The Sculpted Ice Works crew in Lakeville doesn’t seem to mind the cold weather one bit, especially because it means they can carve their sculptures without the threat of a quick melt of their masterpieces.

Sculptor and owner of Sculpted Ice Works, Mark Crouthamel, has been in the ice sculpting business for more than 12 years, and his dedication to this skill and his business shines through all of his frozen artwork.

Sculpted Ice Works had humble beginnings with a small team, opening its doors in December of 1999, but has grown significantly and reached its 13th birthday. Crouthamel’s company has expanded to a staff of 16, including lead carver, Neil Trimper. With the help and dedication of its workers, Sculpted Ice Works has continued its expansion. Last spring the company opened its doors to spectators to allow factory tours of their facility, where they can watch how the ice is made and carvers in action. After the tour, guests are available to browse an Ice Harvest Museum to get a historic view of how ice carving began and visit the gift shop on the way out.

Crouthamel shared his excitement on the continuing expan-

sion, “I look forward to tackling projects in our company to go even more ‘green’ and paperless, to use renewable energy sources in our production.” Sculpted Ice Works hopes to continue expansion by creating a replica ice house, remodeling the gift shop and creating an educational area of the museum for school groups. As demand increases for sculptures, the factory will also need to expand to meet these needs.

“We need to expand our block production to keep up with demand and continue to develop our existing markets,” Crouthamel said.

Sculpted Ice Works is more commonly known around Clarks Summit for their figurine ice sculptures featured at the annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, but they have expanded their product line beyond the standard block of ice and transformed it into various dazzling pieces. The company currently sculpts for a variety of events including weddings, banquets and photo shoots. Seafood displays, ice luges and bars, centerpieces and company logos are just a few sculptures that have been created.

The team at Sculpted Ice Works is hard at work, catering to a broad area of customers and delivering to about a 150 mile radius of their headquarters in Lakeville. The crew has created and showcased ice presentations for a variety of companies and events, including Discovery Channel, the Bronx Zoo and M & T Bank. In addition, they have had the opportunity to bring pieces to New York Fashion Week, which

display from Christmas to New Year’s. This year, their events have them busy on the road, traveling through Baltimore, Phoenix, Stowe, Vt., New Paltz, N.Y. and many more stops in between.

Sculpted Ice Works will display approximately 50 superhero sculptures for Clarks Summit’s “Sub-zero Superhero” themed Festival of Ice. A majority of the sculptures will be made at their facility in advance, and some will be sculpted during live demonstrations throughout the weekend of the festival. Crouthamel and his team are excited for this year’s theme and its challenges.

“Each year we sculpt many pieces that we have never done.”

Out of all the superheroes, Crouthamel, the superhero of ice sculpting is partial to X-Men hero, Storm. Although he is partial to the female superhero figures, he admits he has a real-life superhero, “My true ‘super woman’ is my wife, Mary.”

Churches to offer art, pet training

By Arielle Kovalich and Robert Tomkavage Abington Journal Staff

Frozen sculptures won’t be the only thing featured at this year’s 9th annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice set for Feb. 14-18 as the event list is complete with art shows, musical performances and cultural events.

Local artists and congregation members at the The First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit will participate in and host an art show Feb. 15 to 17 for the festival, which will be set up and available for viewing in the session room of the church (room 206), 300 School St. This year’s art show, entitled “HeARTBeat, will feature work from members of the parish and other artists, including coordinator of the exhibit Elaine Tweedy of Factoryville.

Tweedy explained the meaning behind the title. “‘HeARTBeat’ will showcase the art work of area artists who use their talents and a portion of their time to help others.”

She will exhibit pieces from her collection of photos of homeless animals at the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in South Abington Twp. This collection became an example of her dedication of time to the shelter with hope to help save and find homes for these animals. Other local artists’ works include fellow Marywood graduates Lolita R. Nogan, an art therapist from Hamlin and Melissa Anowai of Scranton, whose art reflects a strong connection with nature.

Although the art show captures a deeper meaning, it still found a way to tie into the “SubZero Superheroes” theme for the festival, as Tweedy ex-

“I was hoping to feature artists who don’t exhibit that often, but go about quietly helping others through their art...sort of everyday heroes, if you will.”

Cohen shared her excitement

Smith has become a must-see act, as his past two years of performances have filled the room with awestruck spectators.

dist Church will participate in the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice again this year.

“It’s a great community event,” Rev. Brent Stouffer said.

“The congregation likes to be involved in the community. The past two years we’ve had hot chocolate and baked goods at Young’s Funeral Home.”

Stouffer believes Young’s is a prime sport because it’s in the heart of the downtown.

“It’s a high traffic area and in the winter it can get cold and people might a hot drink,” Stauffer said. “We thought it would be nice for people to be able to get a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to warm up for free along with a nice snack.”

This year, there will be a sculpture on display in front of

eannine Luby just wants people to laugh.

The author, speaker and comedian will host a “laughter yoga” workshop as part of the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice Family Fun Fair.

But don’t let the name of her workshop fool you, she said. No sweatpants, mats or lithe bodies necessary. The only thing needed is an open mind and a willingness to laugh.

“It’s not normal yoga,” Luby said. “It’s about laughing for the sake of laughing, for fun, to feel good.”

Laughter yoga involves several activities to induce laughter.

“We do a lot of clapping, a lot of breathing and chants,” Luby said. “It’s very easy to do. All you have to know how to do is breathe, laugh and clap.”

Laughter yoga was developed in India by a physician and is relatively new in the U. S. “I’ve done training from two different laugh yoga training schools,” Luby said. “I think I’m the only one who does it in this part of Pennsylvania.”

In keeping with this year’s Festival of Ice theme, Luby will focus on superheroes for the session.

“With yoga, we try to do a fun theme with a story. For this evening, I am going to focus on superheroes,” she said.

A LaughLuby’s laughter Yoga ter yoga sessession sion will take with chilplace at 7:45 dren at Nancy K. p.m. Feb. 14 on Holmes the first floor of Library in the Clarks Green Summit borRidge. ough building.

aughter yoga, out-of-this-world crafts and superhero family photos are all part of the 9th annual Clarks Summit Festival of Ice. And that’s just on the first night.

The Lions Club has been involved with the Ice Festival for five years.

“We take care of the borough building, making sure all the groups have their stands and that everything is set up,” Foley said. “It should be a pretty active three days.”

Foley’s favorite aspect is the influx of new people who converge to the area.

“I enjoy meeting people who visit from many different places,” he said. “Seeing some of the carvings can also be memorable, it’s unique in itself.”

Foley added that most important aspect of their involvement is making money that all goes directly back into the community.

In addition, the Clarks Summit Borough council will sell grilled cheese sandwiches and chili. Sweet Delights will have sell superhero cookies, Girl Scouts will sell their signature cookies and representatives from Lackawanna County will give a presentation of county services.

Upstairs at the Borough Building from 6 to 8 p.m.Thursday will be children’s complimentary activities: face painting with Happy Faces, storytelling with Chris Arcangelo and Deborah J. Kennedy and Karen Thomas, Penn Security get some Spidey lessons from contest winner Elizabeth Schneider.

Superheroes have strength for miles .

That’s why Elizabeth Schneider, 5, of Clarks Summit insisted on being “Spiderman with the muscles” when selecting her hero gear for a costume contest, said mom Kelly Schneider. “I was just lifting a horse at home before I got here,” said Elizabeth, at a superhero photo shoot Feb. 7. Her mom Kelly noted it was a toy horse, but still required plenty of muscle power.

And as for Logan Gallagher, Clarks Summit, he loves superheroes so much he had to decide between assorted costumes to enter the contest – but Superman won out.

These two superheroes submitted photos to a costume contest sponsored by Penn Security Bank, The Abington Journal and Abington Business and Professional Association and were selected as winners. They each will receive a $100 savings account from the bank, a ride in a firetruck during the Festival of Ice Parade Feb. 14 through downtown Clarks Summit and will be announced as winners and receive their prizes at the Family Fun Fair immediately following the parade.

Abington Art Studio will offer Festival of Ice revelers the opportunity to build their own Valentine’s Day Craft at the Family Fun Fair.

The crafting session runs from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 14 on the second floor of the Clarks Summit Borough Building.

“I absolutely love this year’s theme,” said Diana Lombardi, owner of the studio. “Being a part of an event that brings life to our downtown shopping district is my favorite part of the annual festival.”

The studio will be open Thursday evening and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Spiderman is set to drop in for photo opportunities during the festivities, Lombardi added.

The studio will have a display of comic book art and a special part of the store will be devoted to comics and hero-themed collectibles.

“The Ice Festival brings families downtown, increases foot traffic for our small businesses, and creates a stronger feeling of community,” Lombardi said.

Carriage service has ‘golden heart’

Parking/ Emergency Information

By Robert Tomkavage rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

For anyone seeking to add romance to Valentine’s Day weekend, Golden Heart Carriage Service of Clifford Twp. will offer Horse and Carriage rides during the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice Saturday, Feb. 16 from noon to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 17 from noon to 4 p.m.

The rides, which cost $3 per person, will leave from the Clarks Summit Borough Building, 304 State St., and last approximately 15 minutes.

Co-owners John Regan and Dorothy Cleary of Golden Heart Carriage Service will provide rides at no cost to the Festival of Ice committee and are seeking sponsors to advertise on their carriages.

The $3 ride fee will be used to offset Festival of Ice expenses incurred by the committee and to fund free activities for the community hosted by Abington Business and Professional Association throughout the year.

“We wanted to get involved because the people of Clarks Summit are such nice people,” Regan said.

The rides feature unique horses, the gypsy vanner, a relatively new breed, which according to Cleary are

“They are a romantic breed with a lot of feathers,” she said. “They are very docile and colorful, like gypsies.”

Co-owner Regan believes people most enjoy the peacefulness of the rides.

“They like seeing the big majestic

animals,” he said. “It takes them to a place of tranquility, and it takes older people back to their childhood.”

The business is also available for anniversaries, engagements and weddings throughout Northeastern Pa. Regan, who got his start in Clarks Summit in the 1970s at the former A&P, would give children rides

around the parking lot with Shetland ponies from Locker Brother’s Farm on S. Turnpike Road in Dalton, which was owned by his uncle.

Regan gets a lot of satisfaction from the joy the rides bring to the community.

“I enjoy people and seeing the smiles on their faces,” he said. “Everybody loves a horse.”
