Posie Granet, of Scranton, holds her 2-year-old daughter Marie beside their portrait, painted by Kathleen Barrett, of Waverly.
Portrait of a mother’s love By Elizabeth Baumeister / lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

wo-year-old Marie Granet’s eyes barely left her mother’s face as she clung tightly to her shirt and glanced over at the portrait displayed beside them. The painting captured the image of Posie and Marie Granet in almost the exact pose they stood in as the mother spoke about the artwork. The painting, by Kathleen Barrett, of Waverly, not only succeeded in capturing the expressions and emotions of the mother and daughter subjects, but the love between them as well. Barrett said the piece inspired her to start a new series of paintings of mothers with their children. She said the lack of expression of maternal love in contemporary art has impressed her, and when she saw Granet’s interactions with her children, she knew she wanted to illustrate that. “She is such a wonderful and kind mother,” she said. Barrett is seeking more mothers to

Board: No tax increase
Abington Heights School Board preparing 2012-13 budget
Clarks Summit community members recall first woman elected as mayor
MAY 9 TO MAY 15, 2012
CLARKS SUMMIT- Abington Heights Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon announced that the school board must approve a preliminary budget in some form by its May 16 meeting to present to the public for review. Mahon said he would also like to pass the final 2012-13 budget at the June 27 meeting, ahead of the June 30 deadline. “The preliminary budget has a structural deficit of just under $ 2 million, down to $1.95 million when we met last month,” Mahon said. According to Mahon, the proposed budget will eliminate five teaching positions, after 11 positions were eliminated last year. Two of the five are high school English teachers, which Mahon believes will result in increased class size at the High School, the elimination of co-teaching opportunities, which Mahon said has been very effective , class advisors, and the potential elimination of some electives. The Writer’s Center is also expected to be closed. Mahon added, the loss of the elementary school teacher will definitely result in increased class size at the elementary level. Mahon expects to see class sizes in the high
20s. The budget also eliminates five full- time custodians, four full -time secretaries and three aides. Also, the district will look internally for a candidate for Project Lead the Way and there are no provisions for retroactive settlements. The board discussed the possibility of cutting junior high sports out of the athletic budget at an estimated savings of $50,000. They also discussed cutting other extracurricular activities. Board member Jeanne Cadman announced she has no plans to agree to raise taxes. “We need to work hard to get concessions during negotiations,” Cadman said. Board members Louise Brzuchalski, Michael Fleming, Gregory Madensky, and Michele Tierney are also against raising taxes at this time. Vice President William Acker thinks a tax increase is necessary to avoid bigger problems down the road. “We have to be proactive,” he said. “If we don’t act now, we will be in a situation where we need to raise taxes far more than we will be able to.” Board member Michele Pusateri and Board President Cathy Hardaway also think an increase is needed. “Under Act 1 provisions, we can only raise taxes so much each year,” she said. “I’m concerned that three years from See Board, Page 22

Editor: In honor of Earth Day and to increase recycling awareness, Everything Natural recently held a free E-cycling (electronic recycling) event in Clarks Summit, co-hosted by Waste Management. Community volunteers turned out to unload cars and trucks full of TVs, computers and a variety of other electronics: video games, a vacuum cleaner, telephones (one rotary) and even an electric typewriter. Perhaps the most unusual item was an electric snow shovel. Everything Natural would like to thank everyone who brought what would otherwise have been trash on its way to a
landfill; our staff and volunteers who so graciously gave of their time to make the load light; and Waste Management, for moving and handling eight tons of electronics that will now be recycled in the USA under R2 certification rules – safe for people, safe for the environment, with all information kept secure until it has been destroyed. It is wonderful that so many people and so many parts of the community came together to clear their clutter, lower their carbon footprint, and save the Earth. Kermit may not have realized: it is easy being green! Barry Kaplan, Everything Natural

RELAY FOR LIFE 2012
Taking back the night
New general manager Bob Jones has been working with the company since 1972.
BY KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent

N
ichols Village Hotel and Spa general manager Bob Jones is no stranger to the company. He began working at the hotel since 1972 as a dishwasher, when he was 15 years old. “My best friend in high school said there was an opening,” Jones said. “I came over and I’m still here. I’ve been a dishwasher, cook, assistant manager of the restaurants, assistant controller, controller, assistant general manager and now general manager.” Jones enjoys how Nichols Village is unique from most hotels in the area. “This is a different hotel,” he said. “At least we think it is. It was owned by the Nichols family and started off very small in 1955 with four hotel rooms and some trailers. Then they built another building, then another building. We have five different buildings now. It was built up over time. It was a very family-oriented place to work, the ownership was right here and that carried over to the service to the public. It was a very good place to work. Obviously, most people don’t stay at one place for this long, especially in the hotel industry, but I found it very rewarding. I grew up here, I went to school here, I got married here. I was born and bred here.” Jones’ goals as general manager are to keep up the quality of service and community involvement. “We want to keep it as a local-based hotel that services the community,” he said. “We want our guests to feel at home, as opposed to the corporate feel they may get at a brand hotel. Since we’re not a brand, we have to try harder. We have to give more services . Our catering service does a lot of business with local people and companies. We opened a spa last year to give another amenity to the hotel. We have a full- service restaurant on property, Bazil, a fine dining Italian restaurant. We run our own catering facility. We do a lot of weddings and corporate events. We like to be a part of the community. The local Rotary club holds their meetings here and a lot of fraternal -type organization meet here.”

Jones has been most impressed with the growth of the hotel during his tenure. . “It’s difficult when you are the only independent hotel in the marketplace,” he said. “People from outside the area don’t really have a frame of reference. You have to at least get people in the door once and satisfy them, and then you’ll have them back, but it’s a little bit more difficult to get them here that first time. You have to make sure they have an enjoyable visit. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.” Jones recognized the importance of online reviews in attracting guests to the hotel. “Everyone is competitive with their rates, so most people are going to make their decision on what people have said so we take the reviews seriously and respond to them.” Jones resides in Newton Township with his wife Joann. They have been married for 34 years. They have a daughter, Marissa, and a granddaughter, Elana. “We’re very pleased that the community voted us as the top hotel in the Best of the Abingtons for the sixth straight year,” Jones said. “It’s just another sign of the community- based atmosphere that we try to maintain.” Jones also commended the service that the staff provides on a daily basis. “You can renovate your hotel and improve the physical structure, but the core of the hotel is the staff,” he said. “That is what people remember. It’s all really about the people. We have great people here. Not only myself, but many of the other employees are much longer tenured than the industry average. Most people have been hired when they were younger and promoted. “There have been a lot of changes in the marketplace, but we have remained successful by following a service model.”

The Junior Girl Scout Troop 48 of Factoryville had to pick a community project in order to earn their bronze award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn. The girls had to come up with their own ideas on what to do that would improve and leave a lasting effect on their community. Troop 48 decided to paint over the graffiti on the Factoryville 6 & 11 underpass. The girls picked this project because they wanted to help the community and they “did not want little

I am asking the board to approve the purchase of two storage units that are roughly $132 each plus shipping, with the amount not to exceed $300,"she said. The board did agree with Buckbee that the town building needs a storage area for the maps and approved the purchase of the two storage units.

Shown, from left, are Jason Carlyle and Rebekah Gillette of Be Life Cafe and Michelle Williams, committee member for the Leadership Lackawanna Night at the Races.
Starting at 3 p.m. June 2 and running through June 3, the community will be given the opportunity , to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones and fight back against the disease. Relay for Life is scheduled to take place at Abington Heights High School. This year marks the ninth anniversary of the Abington area event, which is chaired and staffed by 30 students from Abington Heights , Scranton Prep and Lackawanna Trail high schools. According to Chair Kaitlyn Davis, this event is a youth event, meaning all of the preparation and execution of events are handled by high school students. Davis said that following the opening ceremonies, a cancer survivor, to be announced, will be a guest speaker. Then, at 5:30 p.m., there will be a pasta and chicken survivor’s dinner in the school cafeteria followed by a survivors’ ceremony. This is where all of the cancer survivors take a lap around the track together. The whole idea behind Relay for Life is to have someone walking through the night and raising funds for the American Cancer Society. It’s an opportunity for the community, as a whole, to make a difference and fight against cancer. Davis said all night there will be games, music and free food such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, snacks and drinks for those camping out. The event is family-friendly and all ages are encouraged to attend. Events scheduled during the night include a stylist from Sanderson State Street Salon in Clarks Summit cutting hair for Locks of Love. There will also be face painting, nail painting and hair dying. “Right now we have 40 teams and our goal was 39. We broke our goal, and we’re so excited about that. Last year, we had 400 participants and expect an even bigger turn out this year,” Davis said. The theme for the relay is the Olympics. “We’re going to have country flags for decorations, Olympic challenge games and Olympic stands for first, second and third place,” said Davis. Davis also mentioned the important Luminaria Ceremony, where bags are transformed and illuminated after dark. Each one is personalized with the name in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected. Each luminaria represents a person. To get involved go to www.relayforlife.org/pabington. Funds raised locally will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Mystery in HISTORY
During preparations for the 2011 Clarks Summit Centennial Celebration, staff members of the Clarks Summit Department of Public Works discovered a time capsule that was prepared in 1976. Members of the Clarks Summit Centennial Committee are seeking additional information regarding the capsule. Former Abington Community Library Director Mary Tuthill said she recalled that it was moved to the borough from the library, which was
then at its School Street location. But other details are not known by the committee. The time capsule features a plaque with the message: “From the people of the Abington Area in 1976, to the citizens of the Abington are in 2076. We leave this time capsule to be opened during the tricentennial.” Anyone with information is asked to contact The Abington Journal at kgrier@theabingtonjournal.com or 585.1604.

Lakeland considers school tax increase BY SUSAN REBENSKY Abington Journal Correspondent
SCOTT TOWNSHIP- At the recent school board meeting of the Lakeland School District, it was announced that the board will be considering a tax increase for the upcoming school year. The board noted that the reason for the increase is to balance the school’s current budget. Currently the district has a tax of 91 mills, with each mill bringing in around $75,422. A mill represents
a $1 tax for every $1,000 property assessed value. The proposed current preliminary budget reflects a 2 mill increase, which in the end would provide $150,000 in revenue. The budget is scheduled to be finalized in May. Board members will be able to vote on the preliminary budget as early as June. Currently the district has a fund balance of about $5.6 million, and is involved in a multimillion dollar renovation project at the high school.

CLARKS SUMMIT- At the Borough of Clarks Summit Council Meeting May 2, Dori Waters, of the Abington Area Community Classroom (AACC), spoke to Council regarding The Gathering Place, a proposed project to convert the first floor of the Borough Building into a community art and education center. Waters said the project is now at the fundraising stage. She said the plan is to begin offering plaques of dedication of rooms in The Gathering Place for individual donations. She also spoke about the possibility of dedicating the entire center for one large donation. And on a slightly smaller scale, she mentioned an idea in the works of constructing a stained glass window with the image of a tree, each leaf being a dedicated to a donor. Council gave their unofficial approval of these ideas, as no official action was deemed necessary. On the agenda under “Bids and Quotations,” it was announced that bids have opened for the 2012 Sewer Repair Project. Council also voted to sell the police car to a bidder for $500. The Treasurers Report and committee reports were given, including Building and Plant, Finance, Grant, Insurance, Personnel, Public Safety and Safety, Public Works, Recreation, Recycling and Emergency Management committees. During the Public Works Report, Council discussed a problem regarding delivery trucks driving the wrong way up Depot Street after exiting a restaurant parking lot. Councilman Roy Davis said he would like to see a traffic study done on that 100 feet of street to consider making it a two-way section. Councilman David Jenkins pointed out the reason that street was made a one-way street to begin with was all the accidents that occurred there. He said he believes it will not help the situation to make it a two-way again, and it would only make it more dangerous, inviting more accidents to happen. Councilman Herman Johnson said there are many pros and cons to the idea, and suggested doing an in-house traffic study to investigate it further. During the Recycling Committee Report, Councilwoman Patty Lawler said she would like to thank everyone who involved in the Earth Day Celebration for helping make it happen. “It takes a lot of people to make something so wonderful,” she said. She commended the Abington Heights School District for their part in the celebration, and Clarks Summit Elementary School for the near 1.7 tons of phone books the students collected for recycling. Under “New Business” on the agenda were the 30 -day trial periods for the employment of the new Assistant Borough Secretary, Jenn Schmidt and the new Borough Treasurer, Melissa Jones. Under “New Business,” Council voted unanimously in favor of Resolution 201215, regarding the handicapped-accessible sidewalks to be put in on Bedford Street. Council also voted to reschedule the Council meeting which falls on July 4 to July 11, due to the holiday.

Continued from Page 1 odist Church building, which is how she and the Granet family met. Granet, a Scranton resident, said when her family first moved into the area, another of her daughters, Rose, now 9, began taking art lessons from another studio. Then, after meeting Barrett at an auction, Granet signed up Rose and Grace, now 7, for classes with her. Granet said she would like to take classes herself in the future, and once Marie is a little older, she plans on signing her up as well. For now, however, she said Rose and Grace are the members of the family with the most interest and talent. Barrett said she teaches all ages, her current youngest student being in first grade and the oldest 78 years of age. Rose and Grace Granet both said they love attending the classes and painting. Rose especially enjoys painting still life images and Grace’s favorite subject is animals. Rose said one of her favorite parts about the classes is that “Mrs. Barrett’s not telling us exactly what to do.” Grace agreed, “We can paint whatever we want.” Posie Granet said Barrett starts off by teaching her students to copy from great impressionists and then giving them a blank canvas. “Kathy makes it so it is a success to them no matter what,” she said, adding that Barrett also helps them a lot with their confidence in themselves and their work. Barrett said she also tries to teach her students about art history and art appreciation. Rose said her favorite artists are Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O’Keeffe, and Grace said hers is Mrs. Barrett. “I think Kathy’s a great example to them,” Posie said, “not only in her talent, but her support, generosity and kindness to them. And I think she gives them a lot of confidence.” Barrett said she’s been teaching art classes on and off for about 20 years, and has consistently been teaching yearround for the past two. She’s been a professional artist for 28 years. She said she keeps her classes small and likes the intergenerational aspect of them because the younger students can learn a lot from the older, and vice versa. She also said she uses the highest quality materials and professional brushes so her students can get the best results from their work. More information about Barrett’s art classes can be found at www.kathleenbarrettstudio.artspan.com.

Best cakes in the county BY DON MCGLYNN For the Abington Journal
Bakers from all across Northeastern Pennsylvania, and some outside the area, found their way to Scranton last week ready to put their cakes to a challenge. The Great Chefs XXII Cake Challenge, a fundraiser for the Women’s Resource Center, was held May 2 at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton. Eighteen bakers competed in three categories, beginner, intermediate and advanced, in this event. Each designed a cake based on this year’s theme, “Around the World.” “I think they are gorgeous,” said Marita Lawrence, chairperson for Great Chefs Cake Challenge. “I think we are so lucky to have all these talented bakers. I think each year it gets better and better.” Lawrence explained that while this is the 22nd Great Chefs, the cake decorating competition is something added only a few years ago. In the past the Women’s Resource Center invited prominent chefs in the area to do demonstrations, but the group changed it to cake decorating and have received positive feedback from the public. “It’s fairly new. It’s just been going on a couple of years, with the cake decorating, but I think the public is really excited about this,” said Lawrence. “They love seeing the cakes. And they can also vote for their favorite cake (for the People’s Choice Award), so I think that’s fun for peo-

ple to do.” Sandy Chesak of My Mother’s Delicacies won the People’s Choice Award this year. Awards were also given out to bakers who finished in first place in the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Winners were chosen by judges Kim Morrison, a certified master sugar artist, and Colette Peters, the grand prize winner of the Food Network’s “Cake Challenge.” The cakes were judged on a number of different criteria, including how well they correspond with the theme. Winners in this year’s cake challenge were Cindy Lepo, advanced; Lynn Mazzga, intermediate; and Abby Somers, beginner. Somers, a Scranton resident, opened her own bakery, Babby Cakes, out of her home in January. She first heard about the competition last year, and decided to enter this year. She said she was surprised to go home a

All the proceeds from the night went to the Woman’s Resource Center, a private nonprofit organization founded in 1976, serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “We are an organization that provides shelter for abused women and children, and we also have an advocacy program,” said Lawrence.

Valiant efforts By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent
F
or Mark Schultz, his career has been a “little bit of this and a little bit of that.” The Clarks Summit resident has been cartooning and illustrating for more than 20 years and is likely best known as the writer of the “Prince Valiant” comic strip. He has produced weekly scripts since the mid-2000s for the King Features Syndicate comic that appears in Sunday newspapers. Schultz is an award -winning cartoonist, a writer who draws and writes for comics, an illustrator and a writer of fiction and nonfiction. “I really didn’t figure out that I could do this until I was 30. I had always dreamed of doing this, but it didn’t fall into place until I turned 30. It took me a while to figure it out,” said Schultz. Currently, at his drawing table in his studio, a room beaming with natural sunlight and with filled bookcases surrounding him, he writes the “Prince Valiant” newspaper comic strip. Schultz is also immersed in his work on a new addition to his series of collected drawings and sketches, as well as in finishing the illustrations to his cautionary novella, “Storms At Sea,” all of which are published by Flesk Publications. “My career involves various storytelling skills that overlap. When I create my own comics, I both write and draw them. In the case of Prince Valiant, I write it and another artist draws it. It doesn’t often happen with me but theoretically, someone else could write something that I would draw. It’s a flexible medium. It’s like filmmaking or theater, it’s collaborative sometimes, but the nice thing about comics is if you choose to
control all of the elements involved, you can.” He added, “I like to tell stories and I get paid to do it both visually and in written form. I’m involved with telling stories that are mostly fiction.” His career began in 1986 and 1987 with a comic book, an award- winning speculative adventure comic book he created, “Xenozoic Tales” that has been adapted to television as the animated series “Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.” “Things fell in place just right,” said Schultz, referring to his work. According to Schultz, the initial Xenozoic adventure originally appeared in the eighth issue of Kitchen Sinks Press anthology magazine, “Death Rattle.” Reader response was positive, leading Kitchen Sink to offer Schultz his own book that premiered February 1987. Foreign editions of “Xenozoic Tales” stories have been produced in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Sweden and Finland. Schultz’s work is categorized as adventure fiction, and most has a speculative fiction patina, a science fiction. Prior to 1986, Schultz produced commercial illustrations. “I grew up drawing. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t draw and my interests tend to go towards speculative fiction in the sciences – both fiction and nonfiction science - so that kind of directed my interests in both drawing and as I got older I got into creative writing. I wanted to tell stories. The glue through everything I do is storytelling.” said Schultz. See Valiant, Page 14
I would have to say the Dietrich’s recent bus trip to Philadelphia was nothing short of wonderful. On this journey, 19 of us visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the historic district. While at the museum, we were able to take in the special Van Gogh Up Close exhibit. Of course Van Gogh’s works were terrific. One of my favorite paintings “Rain” makes you feel like you are looking through a window on a rainy, dreary day. I also enjoyed the audio tour that went along with the exhibit. It gave you perspective into Vincent Van Gogh’s life through correspondence between him and his brother Theo. Plus it showed how much his work was inspired by Japanese prints. During our time in the historic district we were able to strike out on our own to explore. Some of us visited the first post office, Independence Hall, and Christ Church Burial Ground where Benjamin Franklin was buried. Then we all met up as a group for dinner at the City Tavern and dessert at Franklin Foundation, an early 1900’s -styled ice cream shop. After taking one of these trips, I am always reminded that it is so important to get out there to learn and explore. Our next excursion will be to Everhart Museum in Scranton Saturday, July 14. During this day trip from 9:30 a.m. - 2 p.m, we will take a childfriendly tour of the Everhart Museum, explore their BEEyond exhibit, which is all about bees and beekeeping. After the tour, we will take part in an educational workshop about the exhibit BEEyond. Following the workshop, we will be able to enjoy a box lunch in Nay Aug Park and visit the Nay Aug gorge and tree house. It’s a great trip to experience one of our area treasures. The cost for the day is $10 and a box lunch is included. For questions or to make reservations, please contact the Dietrich Theater at 570-996-1500. An event that is coming up later this month is the Dietrich Theater Radio Players live show on Tuesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. During this show we will go back to those memorable days of radio and experience live sound effects by our Esther Harmatz, music by Carol Broll and the drama of the “theatre of the mind.” This time around, the group, directed by Valerie Paulus will be performing the drama “Railroaded” (aka. “Hit and Run”) from the series Night Beat that originally aired June 19, 1952 and the comedy “Lost in Hollywood” from the radio show Magnificent Montague that See Movies, Page 8

Colors of care Art sales benefit Relay, Library
Photographer Garrett CraigLucas predicts Saturday will be “an afternoon of great jazz performed by two outstanding musicians and artworks exhibited in a great venue, with people who share their same interests and concerns.” On May 12, from 1-3 p.m., the Abington Community Library will host a reception for the “Made for Spring: The Gardener’s Gift” photo exhibit, featuring local artists Alayna and Garrett Craig-Lucas. The exhibit, a part of the Second Saturdays event, will run through May and feature art photography and prints by the siblings. The proceeds from the sale of these artworks will benefit both the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Abington Community Library. The reception will also feature live music by the Jim Buckley/Jim Tigue Jazz Duo. As for the exhibit, according to Garrett Craig-Lucas, photos at this show will be a selection of floral, some from their own garden. “Every year since I can remember, my sister, Alayna, my dad, and I have planted hundreds of bulbs. It’s sort of our Thanksgiving weekend ritual and we never miss it. The spring is spectacular at our house, with a big display of all varieties of daffodils, crocuses, tulips, irises and peonies. It’s amazing to me that the bulbs live through the cold winters here and the plants, even once they’ve flowered, survive spring frosts and snow. We look forward to them all winter and several years ago, Alayna and I started photographing them when they bloomed. They really are a gift and that’s how we called the exhibit and the fundraiser, ‘The Gardener’s Gift’,” he said. “We believe they send a message of hope and promise, and that is what Relay for Life is all about,” he addded. Garrett and Alayna first became involved with Relay for Life four years ago, and started the exhibit for charity two years ago. “Alayna actually originated this fundraiser when she captained, ‘Team Life’ for the Relay. Since then, I have contributed to the collection of images and modified the fun-
draiser’s format somewhat. The prints and fine art photos on display at the library are available in return for donations, with proceeds benefiting the Abington Relay for Life, and Abington Community Library jointly. I am hoping that this year’s exhibit will be as well received,” he said. Garrett, a high school senior, has enjoyed photography since he was young, but only recently has “taken a real interest in it.” “I encourage everyone to take a look through a camera lens. It doesn’t have to be a great camera. Just looking through a lens helps me to focus on one thing, as opposed to everything going on around me. I think that it is important to slow down and take a look at things from different perspectives. I am just starting out myself and I enjoy what I see,” he added. As for Saturday, “I hope that the event is well attended. I would love for people to see and enjoy the artwork, but as much or more than that, I would like people to get to know the Abington Library if they don’t already, and learn more about the Relay for Life mission to, ‘celebrate, remember and fight back’ in the battle against cancer,” he said. For more information, contact the Abington Community Library at 570. 587. 3440 or Garrett Craig-Lucas (on behalf of the Relay for Life), directly at garrettjcl1994@comcast.net or 570. 878. 7798. The event on Saturday is free to the public. The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 West Grove Street in South Abington Township.

that’s who picks the book, so you’re really exposed to a lot of different genres that you might not otherwise pick up,” said Carmina Rinkunas. She has been a part of the club for about seven years. The friendships that develop through the club are perhaps the biggest appeal. “From a social standpoint, it’s fantastic and a lot of us have become very good friends,” said Rinkunas. “Many of us have gone through different personal issues and it’s nice to have a good core group of women for support.” The women at the meeting were appreciative of the young author’s guest appearance. “I thought maybe she would Skype (video call) with us, but she ended up coming, which is awesome,” said Kristin Jungbluth, a regular at the meetings. Most books have discussion questions available online. Duffy had just written discussion questions and Blaum’s club was lucky to be the first to use them. “I think it’s pretty rare that a young author like that would spend her own time and money to travel to Pennsylvania from New York City just to do it,” said Blaum. “She wants to

connect with her readers and get input. It says something about her character.” Duffy concluded her presentation, “It was great to hear their different opinions on issues such as women in the workplace and gender equality. It gave me a lot to think about and will impact how I handle certain issues going forward.” Area libraries can also be resources when a group seeks to begin a book club. One of the challenges in starting a club is getting enough copies of a book. “We have books here in storage where everyone can have their own copy,” said Abington Community Library Director Leah Rudolph. “They can take them out for an extended period of time.” While Blaum’s group read the same book at their meeting, there are many clubs where each member reads a different book on the same
theme. “There is a group called Current Topics. One month they might choose anything by Ernest Hemingway or a children’s book,” said Rudolph. After the group members read their books they might discuss the parallels between them. Rudolph explained that the library often holds themed book discussions. “I’m in a discussion right now with two teachers. We will be holding some book club discussions in the library soon.” One of those discussions is a World War II non-fiction theme. There will also be a book club on freaks, circuses and magic. Both will be facilitated by Sue Curtin and are anticipated to start in June.

premiered on January 19, 1951. All are invited to attend and admission is free. We hope you will join us for this fun-filled evening of entertainment. In addition to the Radio Players performance, this month the Dietrich will host “Tango – Movie and Lesson” on Sunday, May 27 at 1 p.m. The movie Tango, which is beautifully filmed in Buenos Aires, home of the Argentine Tango, is about a movie director and the men and women whose lives revolve around tango. After the film, you will have a chance to learn this dance known for its beauty, passion, drama and excitement. Jill and Gehred Wetzel will teach an introductory tango lesson at Father Nallin Hall. Admission to the movie and lesson is $10. Call the Dietrich at 570.996.1500 for more information or to register. As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies!

It was only thru the tremendous outpouring of love and support for Jason and our family that we were able to take comfort in knowing what a tremendous man Jason was and just how many people he touched in his short 30 years. It is amazing how one soul could have such an impact on so many lives. There are so many people that we would like to thank and offer our gratitude to including all of those who organized and ran the benefits at McGrath’s Pub, the Beagle Pub & Eatery, and also the softball tournament, not to mention all the players that braved the elements to play in the tournament. A thank you to Grace’s Downfall, Jason’s favorite local band, for honoring Jason as well. Also tremendous thanks to “his boys” for being pallbearers and making sure his “Cummins” was there to see him off, Jason would be so proud of all that his friends have done. Again we cannot offer enough thanks to everyone that comforted us with their kind words, thoughts and prayers. Jason will always live on in each of us - in our memories of him and our continued thoughts of him, as well as the scholarship set up in his memory.

Lady Comets win title
MAY 9 TO MAY 15, 2012
LT students attend Sports Management Roundtable
BY TOM ROBINSON For The Abington Journal
SCRANTON – A young lineup kept an old streak alive for the Abington Heights high school girls’ track and field team. Freshman Michaelina Holmes, sophomore Erin Jaeger and junior Taylor Ross were each part of two winning events Thursday to help the Lady Comets win the Class AAA girls’ title at the Jordan Relays for the sixth straight year. Abington Heights set two records on the way to victory. Ross and Erin Jaeger were involved in both. “It is our girls’ favorite event of the year,” Abington Heights coach Frank Passetti said. “It’s kind of a relaxed atmosphere where they get to do events that they do not normally do.” One of those events was the opening distance medley where Ross ran the opening 800-meter leg, Erin Jaeger and Missy Burke ran 400s and Holmes ran the closing 1600 for a record time of 9:48.89. The other record came in the 3200-meter relay, one of the events that is part of the league, district and state competitions. Jenn Burke, Briana Jaeger, Ross and Erin Jaeger each ran an 800 leg for a record-setting time of 9:43.77. The other win came in the 1600 medley relay when Kelsey O’Donnell and Abigail McMinn ran 200 legs, followed by a 400 leg from Holmes and an 800 by Tessa Barrett. Passetti said the event “comes at a good time of the season where they finished up with their dual meet season, they’re getting ready to go into the league meet and then into districts. “It’s a nice way to ease into the busiest time of your season and get ready for districts and leagues.” The Lady Comets, who captured the Lackawanna Track Conference Division 1 title three days earlier, scored 51 points to finish 18 in front of LTC Division 2 champion Western Wayne. Abington Heights finished second in two events. O’Donnell, Isabelle Clauss and Lauren Hoyt were on both second-place teams. Elisia Cadman joined them on the 4x100 and McMinn was on the 1200 sprint medley. Missy Burke, Clauss, Cadman and Erin Jaeger were fourth in the closing 4x400 relay. The Lakeland girls set a Class AA record in the 4x100 relay. Tori Doyle, Sarah Larkin, Emily Williams and Cassidy Jenkins finished in 50.49. Tim Von Storch, Mark Arzie, Nathan Morgan and Zach Krieger combined to win the Class AA 4x800 for the Lakeland boys in 8:28.64. Valley View (AAA) and Holy Cross (AA) won the boys’ titles, each scoring 56 of a possible 60 points. Scranton Prep was second and Abington Heights fifth out of 10 Class AAA boys’ teams. Tyler Shotto and T.J. O’Hearn were each part of both Scranton Prep event wins. Lakeland was second of 12 teams in Class AA with 40 points. Scranton Prep was sixth of 11 teams in Class AAA girls. Lakeland was second of 11 in Class AA girls.

Third baseman Jessica Mahler added a single and pitcher Claire Lakatos knocked in two runs with a double. First baseman Katherine Rosencrance ended the scoring with an RBI single. Lakatos held the Lady Knights scoreless in the bottom of the first.

A group of students from Lackawanna Trail High School in Factoryville were among the participants in the recent 12th annual Sport Management Roundtable held at Misericordia University. The students had the opportunity to meet and discuss career opportunities in the industry, including pro sports and facilities management, with professionals in those fields. The Misericordia University Sport Management Association and the Office of Admissions hosted the interactive program. Among the participants were students and their parents from across the region. Misericordia students in the sport management and business administration programs, as well as students who have been accepted into the sport management program for the 2012-13 academic year also took part. The professionals answered questions and discussed their positions, their career paths, recent employment trends and what it is like to work in the growing multi-billion dollar industry. Misericordia University Sport Management Program alumni Kristen Black, athletic director at Panther Valley High School, and Mike Trudnak, director of Group Sales, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, introduced the panel that included Travis Spencer, director of Business Development, Lehigh University Athletics; Dennis Driscoll, director of Security Transportation, and Jennifer Star, racing market manager, both of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs; Ken Bailey, owner, Lanopy Networks LLC; Jon Stephenson, vice president of ticket sales, Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins AHL team; Brandon Igdalsky, president of Pocono Raceway; Phil Schoener, sports director, WBRE-TV 28; and Curt Camoni, vice president of Stadium Operations, Wilkes-Barre Scranton Yankees.

a lot of time out of my life,” Eggleston said. When Eggleston graduates from Lackawanna Trail, she will attend East Stroudsburg University. “I hope to get into the nursing program after I get my general classes finished,” Eggleston said. Eggleston said Derek Jeter is her favorite baseball player because her family often went to see the New York Yankees when she was young. Last season, Lackawanna Trail went 6-8 and lost to Lakeland in the first round of the district playoffs. This season, the Lady Lions have already topped their win total from last season with three games remaining in the schedule. Lackawanna Trail also sits atop the Division III standings. “Our goals of the rest of the season are to do well in the second half of this season to our full potential and hopefully make and do well in playoffs,” Eggleston said. Eggleston and the Lady Lions will face off against Montrose at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at home. In the first meeting between the two teams, Lackawanna Trail handed Montrose its only loss of the season with a 10-8 victory.

It was a full house at the April 30 Waverly Township Board of Supervisors meeting. Address changes from North Abington Township to Waverly Township continue to be a problem. A vote to change the name was approved by vote in 2010. One problem with the addresses not being changed from North Abington involves earned income tax, Township Manager Bill White said. He found that after requesting a list of taxpayers he realized the submitted list was missing 169 residents due to address problems. He said residents are losing money and believes it’s time to, “Blow this thing wide open.”The first item of public concern was presented by Ron Hackman, vice chair of trustees for the Waverly United Methodist Church. His
concern was the ordinance regarding the church parking lot. The language in the ordinance states the entrance must be no wider than 15 feet; however it had been paved at 30 feet. Hackman and Pastor Barbara Snyder of the church showed a highlighted copy of the proposed parking lot that stated it was to be at 30 feet. Hackman said he “Wants to understand what the township wants so they can adequately respond to it.” Marissa Longstreet attended as a representative for Waverly Community Church. The church is interested in providing a clothing drop-off shed and applied for a certificate of appropriateness to the Historic Architecture Review Board which was denied. Their next submission was for a white vinylsided shed with a green roof to match the church,

BOARD
Continued from Page 1 now we won’t be able to raise taxes enough.” The board voted down a tax increase, at the current time, 5-3. Board member Frank Santeriollo was absent from the meeting. The potential 2012-13 tax increase is limited to 1.7 percent, around two mils or $400,000 of new revenue for the district. Mahon announced that the district decided to keep the occupational therapist from the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit, or NEIU, rather than hire an independent contractor for the next year. Mahon also announced that tickets for the Jr. /Sr. Prom have sold out and there likely will be a lottery for the remaining tickets the school was able to acquire. Heather Masshardt, policy specialist for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) addressed the board to discuss changes to their policies. According to Mahon, the district is beginning the process of a wholesale update of its policies and has contracted PSBA for that purpose. Masshardt thanked board member for their service and gave background information on her Association. “The PSBA works with over 590 schools and is constantly reviewing its policies and working with their legal, research and governmental staffs to make sure things are kept up to date with current laws, regulations and court decisions. “We firmly believe that policies should be pro-active, not reactive. The court should have well defined policies in place that you can govern effectively and not have to respond to certain circumstances as they arise. Policy is your effective governance tool and the authority that is granted to the board by the general assembly. We believe it should be consistent and up to date. You (Abington Heights) have an incredibly strong foundation in the district. We would just like to help you fill in the gaps. There are some things that are outdated or missing. We’re here to help you work with your administrative team. The board has the policy role and the administration has the role of implementing those policies. Having a consistent policy manual will help the administration do their job effectively on a day to day basis. Also, working with us will give them a resource to use.” The board contracted PSBA for a policy development service at a cost of $7,000; part of the fee included on-site research. Masshardt noticed some inconsistent numbering in policies and a number of duplications in the policy manual, and some outdated or missing policies. According to Masshardt, she will take all the research back to the PSBA office and it will be compiled with their model policy guides and customized to fit the school district’s needs. According to Masshardt, the district will start receiving drafts in about five or six months, one section at a time, about every month with recommendations. According to Masshardt, the PSBA’s policy manual contains about 220 different policies. Masshardt added that once the district begins receiving drafts, the average time on completion is about 18 months, but it really depends on the ambition of the district. According to Hardaway, “the board has never done a project like this, they have updated policies but they have been ‘piecemealed’ as they have been brought to us. This is a way to systemically keep our policies up to date going forward.”
