Multiple choice Abington Heights senior twins, triplets prepare for life apart
By Gerard E. Nolan Abington Journal Correspondent
T
he Abington Heights High School class of 2012 includes six sets of twins and one set of triplets, all from Clarks Summit. That’s15 students, for those counting. While the siblings share families, homes and birthdays, they have diverse interests and life goals . Cassandra Coles aims to major in marine biology in South Carolina, while her twin, Tiffany, plans to study early childhood education closer to home at Bloomsburg University. Tiffany enjoys fishing, working on farms and watching wrestling, while her
sister, Cassandra, passes the time with quiet reading, shopping and cheerleading. They both laugh about how different they have turned out. But at the same time, the two express how difficult it will be to part next fall. “It can be difficult,” Cassandra said of their parting. But she said they’ll be, in a way, closer once they’re apart, since they’ll be free to be who they are instead of always being grouped together as “the twins.” Matt Callen and his brother, Dan, will See Twins, Page 7

WAVERLY TWP.- Street addressing issues have been a problem in Waverly Township for many years. Township Manager Bill White has taken steps to find a solution. According to White, Waverly Township first approached the United States Postal Service about changing addresses for residents in February 2009. The township sought to change the addressing system so that the last line of each mailing address reflected the name of the municipality. “Many municipalities have done this, dating back to the Public Safety Emergency Telephone Act of 1990, but it really became very important after the 9/11/2001 attacks,” White “We had many said.

U of S talks hit snag As The University of Scranton faculty contract approaches its August 31 expiration, negotiations which began in February to extend the contract, are expected to drag on throughout the summer, according to Faculty Affairs Council (FAC) Chairman Michael Friedman. The topic of discussion on the negotiating table is the “New Department Chair Concept,” which, according to Friedman, was introduced as a “non-negotiable stipulation.” He said the concept takes the current positions of academic department chairpersons as elected full-time faculty members and replaces them with administrative appointees. A statement released by the council includes, “This action constitutes an unfair labor practice because it takes work being done by union members and transfers it to non-union employees.” Stan Zygmunt, University of Scranton spokesperson, said, “The new approach to academic chairs to which we aspire responds to the challenging and dynamic landscape of higher education nationally; supports our pursuit of strategic opportunities and will lead to more

Editor: I applaud the efforts of the Abington Heights School Board to hold the line on taxes and spending. Theirs is not an easy task and requires many difficult, and painful decisions. While I do not like the thought of having the number of teachers and other academic positions reduced there are few other options at this point. For too long things have been let go and unnecessary spending run rampant. One of the areas allowed to run rampant is the athletic department. I totally disagree with the handful of people who are upset at the idea of cutting or eliminating the junior high sports programs. Contrary to what one proponent of these programs is quoted, as saying the purpose of the district is not to benefit the students athletically, the purpose of the district is academics. There is no mandate, legally or otherwise, for any public district to have any type of sports pro-
gram (not to be confused with physical education, which is mandated). Athletics are nothing more than an expensive hobby, which are enjoyed by a minority of students and adults, while being a burden to the taxpayers and a distraction from academics. Not only should all junior level sports be eliminated (they did not exist two generations ago) but even the varsity sports need to be greatly reduced. Imagine if past boards had not spent taxpayer dollars on a totally refurbished football stadium and professional- size soccer pitch, both of which sit idle months at a time and are underutilized even when in season. The overwhelming majority of taxpayers in the district do not have children in school, if they even have children. Why then should they be forced to pay for the superfluities of those who do have children in our public schools? David Kveragas, Newton Township
Editor: ABC and CBS recently featured an undercover investigation video by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) at a training barn for Tennessee Walking horses. The footage shows horses being brutally whipped, kicked, shocked in the face and violently cracked across the heads and legs with heavy wooden sticks. It also shows these horses being subjected to a cruel practice known as soring - the intentional infliction of pain to their feet and legs to produce the unnatural high stepping, otherwise known as the “Big Lick.” While being sored, horses are left in stalls for days, fitted with tall, heavy stacks of pads to accentuate their gait and stand on an unnatural angle. Their legs
are covered in caustic chemicals such as kerosene or diesel oil, and plastic wrap to “cook” the chemicals deep into the flesh. It is common to see horses lying down in their stalls, moaning in pain. Foreign objects are often inserted between the horse’s hoofs, adding to the horse’s suffering. Chains are put on the foot and slide up and down when the horses walk, further irritating the already painful areas, producing the exaggerated gait. All this for a ribbon. Please write or call your U.S Representative and two U.S.Senators urging them to fix the problems in the Federal Horse Protection Act. For more information go to HSUS.org Silvie Pomicter Chinchilla

Disease experts visits June 6
June is National Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month. In recognition of this, the North American Chapter of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) and Allied Services Integrated Health System are holding Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Day in Northeastern Pa. June 6 at 4 p.m. at Allied Rehab in Scranton. Scott M. Friedenberg, MD will be guest speaker at the event. According to the foundaFriedenberg tion, Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease that affects all ages, races and genders. Monahan Symptoms include weakness in muscles that control eye movements and eyelids, chewing, swallowing, coughing, facial expressions, arm and leg movements and breathing. The prevalence of the disease in the U.S. is estimated to be 20 myasthenics per 100,000 people. Yet thousands remain undiagnosed mainly due to the fact that the disease may be difficult to diagnose under certain circumstances, according to the foundation. There is no known cure, but there is treatment. Because it is a chronic, progressive illness, it is recommended by the foundation that those experiencing symptoms seek medical consultation from a neurologist or ophthalmologist. The mission of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, Inc. is to find a cure for the disease and closely -related disorders, to improve treatment options, to provide information, and to support people with MG through research, education, community programs, and advocacy. To learn more, visit Myasthenia.org. Stress can exacerbate the symptoms of myasthenics, and can negatively impact their lives, as well as the lives of their families and loved ones. To help alleviate stress as well as provide information, the North American Chapter of the foundation has formed a support group in Scranton, which is held at Allied Rehab, as well as in Danville. For information on the support groups, call Vera Krewsun at 687.6009. Friedenberg, a neurologist with Geisinger Health System in Danville, is a graduate of Temple University of Medicine and is board certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. He specializes in the treatment of the disease. Marie Barrouk Monahan, SLP, Director of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Allied Services will also speak at the Awareness Day Event. She will provide information on swallowing disorders associated with the disease, as well as the latest treatments available. The presentation will take place in the Graf Community Room, located in the Charles Luger Outpatient Center on Moffat Drive off the Morgan Highway in Scranton.

ainting a wall-size polkadot dinosaur, enjoying time at the playground, attending field trips to the zoo, and participating in circus days are just some of the many memories shared by past students of the Waverly Preschool. They and their families are likely to be reminded of these and more on Monday, June 11at a party to be held at the Waverly Community House in honor of Sylvia Jenkins, of Clarks Green, who established the preschool in 1985. The party will be in celebration of Jenkins’ 40 -plus years of teaching and her June 1 retirement. The free event, open to the community, will be held in the gymnasium from 4:30 6:30 p.m. It is planned by her three children: Erica Jenkins, Alison Ratamess and Jason Jenkins, along with Kathy Davis, new owner of the preschool. Erica Jenkins said she thinks party attendees will most enjoy “the opportunity to connect with people who have all been touched by [Sylvia Jenkins] and the school, fun activities for the kids, opportunities for former students to find themselves in class pictures, cake and Mannings Ice Cream.” According to Ratamess, the event will be “part retirement party and part reunion for former students,” and will include a large collection of photos from the past 40 years. She said its purpose is twofold: to give the community an opportunity to share in the celebration and to give Jenkins the opportunity to thank the community members

Another of Jenkins’ past students is Kevin Manning, who said he is also sending his children to Waverly Preschool (he and his wife Kacy are expecting their third child in July). He said he always knew he wanted his children to attend, because Jenkins made such an impression on his own life. That impression was so big, he returned to the preschool to help with the lunch program for a year while he was in between high school and college. “She’s a phenomenal teacher,” he said. “What she teaches and what she does with the students ABINGTON JOURNAL/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER really impacts them...she really Sylvia Jenkins, of Clarks Green, will retire June 1 after a 43-year career has a special touch with kids.” Michelle Fahey, of Dalton, is in early childhood education.

Joey Hamersly said he will study communications, and his brother, Billy, will take up French and English secondary education. The differences between most of the siblings are physical, too. Most of the multiples look more like regular siblings than twins or triplets; that’s because only two sets of twins are identical, while the rest of the twins and the set of triplets are fraternal. Identical twins occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Fraternal twins occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. Corey and Cailey Ware, the only boy/girl duo, do not share a physical resemblance, yet they say they are still confused for each other. “We’re polar opposites, but people mix us up,” Cailey said, citing her brother’s interest in art and hers in sports.

Dog Park cleanup a success
Friendly feud
BY JOAN MEAD MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
Competition usually brings out the best in people. In this case, it couldn’t be more true. Students from Abington Heights, Lackawanna Trail and Scranton Prep high schools are part of the Relay for Life of the Abingtons fundraiser and are competing against relay teams from Delaware Valley and Pittston area to raise money for the American Cancer Society. According to Abbie Gall, a senior at Abington Heights High School, the competition is based on percentages of which groups sign up the most teams and raises the most money. Gall has been involved with the Relay committee since her freshman year. This year, she is a team captain and co-chair. “It brings the community together and raises so much money,” Gall said. “It gives you the chance to provide hope and make a difference in people’s lives.” According to Gall, the Relay for Life of the Abingtons has set a goal of $31,000. “We’re working hard holding fundraising events,” she said. Two other co-chairs are Kaitlyn Davis, a junior at Scranton Prep, and Jenn Rich of Abington Heights. Relay for Life begins June 2 at 3 p.m. and runs through June 3 at Abington Heights High School. Anyone wishing to take part in Relay for Life, a fundraiser or just wishing to make a donation can go to www.relayforlife.org/paabington.
SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - At an Abington Area Joint Recreation Board meeting May 17, Marie King, board volunteer and Abington Area Community Park Dog Park organizer, reported on a number of items regarding the dog park. “We had a very successful clean up at the dog park and a lot of volunteers came out…not only did we do a cleanup, but the following week we held an Arbor Day Celebration at the Pavilion and planted five trees along the lake…,” said King. She also reported that a visitor to the dog park gave an anonymous $2,000 donation. Linda Young, Recreation Board member, reported fishing line receptacles will be placed around the park for used, broken fishing line and hooks. “The point of the project is to protect water and marine life,” said Young. Willy Jones presented this project at the 2011 “Forever Young” Kids’ Fishing Derby and Family Fun Day, said Young. “He (Jones) also taught it at Comm Camp. The Comm used Willy’s project to apply for a grant to purchase receptacles and spread awareness about this project.” Recreation Board Chair, Bill Risse, said, “Discarded line looks harmless, but it tangles around birds and ducks, which have no way to get free. Most fishermen are careful to try and hang onto to old line, but without a collection point they also get tangled up in it, and it winds up on the ground. So the project will not only provide containers for our lake, but also be a live teaching tool that will impact habits that anglers will carry to other lakes.” Dori Waters, an Abington Area Community Classroom organizer, discussed the classroom’s spring semester. “We had a great spring semester, and are busy planning the fall (session).” The group’s mission is “to provide the community with enrichment and recreation through a broad array of learning opportunities.” Young reported on sponsorship for the upcoming “Forever Young” Kids’ Fishing Derby. Grand sponsors for the event to be held June 9, 9 a.m. to noon at the Abington Area Community Park in South Abington Twp. include: the Young Family, Abington Area Joint Recreation Board, Geisinger-CMC and Prudential Financial.

OBITUARY William Thomas Walton May 19, 2012
William Thomas Walton died May 19, 2012. William’s life was a testament to his advocacy of people coping with the difficulties of the human condition. He had a deep belief in the Christian principles of the Holy Trinity and Divine Grace. He spent his professional career as a Lutheran minister, earning his bachelor’s degree from Muhlenburg College in Allentown and master’s degrees from the Lutheran Seminary, Philadelphia and Marywood University, Scranton. He earned his DMin through Wartburg University, Waverly, Iowa.

In retirement he served as chaplain at Susquehanna Lutheran Village and as interim pastor at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Millersburg, where he taught a Bethel bible study course for many years. Throughout his life he championed those with weak societal voices. He trained youth at work camps in mental hospitals and retirement homes. He worked extensively in prison ministry and for prisoner’s rights in Scranton. Throughout his life he attempted to bridge the divisions in the

Faith brings joy By Stephanie Elko Abington Journal Correspondent
University premieres documentary ‘Pilgrimage to Uganda: a transformational learning experience.’
P
rofessors Kimberly Pavlick and Beth Holmes were pleasantly surprised when more than 200 students, faculty and parents streamed into the Loyola Science Center at The University of Scranton May 12 for the premiere of the documentary: “Pilgrimage to Uganda: a transformational learning experience.” In January, students from the university set out to Uganda for a pilgrimage where they took part in a course called Christianity in Africa. The class was held by Charles Pinches, Ph.D., professor and chair of theology and religious studies. This year, the faculty received a grant to bring technology with them to Uganda. Kimberly Pavlick, Ph.D., assistant professor of communication, decided to accompany the group with a plan to create a documentary. Over the course of the trip, Pavlick, labeled the “trip mom,” and the 10 Jesuit honors students enrolled in the course filmed and recorded every step of their religious journey. When they returned, Professor Beth Holmes of the communication department edited the film in such a way that told the story of the students’ experience in Uganda. Later she interviewed the students. “Telling the story through their mouths and seeing it through their eyes makes it very poignant,” Pavlick said. The running theme of the documentary is that even though a lot of suffering exists in Uganda, joy exists alongside it. “The people [in Uganda] depend on their faith for joy and suffering, and the joy they have is very infectious,” Holmes
said. At the film premiere, students said that they could not believe that the documentary was focused on what they learned and their experience. The story was developed on the basis of the poverty, faith, suffering and joy of the Christians in Africa. This was the first time that the theology, philosophy and communication departments worked together to create a learning experience for their students. During the film, people laughed when Professor Pavlick danced on screen and cried when they realized how difficult life is for the people of Uganda. Pavlick described the audience at the premiere as feeling moved and deeply touched by it. According to Pavlick, after the premiere, people came up to the students and faculty who participated and said, “I understand. I saw. I felt.”
Currently, Holmes is planning on airing the documentary on Comcast and will be creating a YouTube channel in the near future where it can be viewed. Holmes will be submitting the documentary into various competitions and at the academic conference where all Jesuit schools meet. The faculty members at the university hope the documentary will help to assuage the fear of visiting a third world country. Pavlick said she felt perfectly safe her entire stay and humbled by the experience. There is not a day that goes by that she has not been trying to figure out a way to raise money for a well to be built near the church of Father Henry Mulwai, a pastor they met in Uganda. “[Since their return] we still marvel that our water is clean, food is put in front of us and that we have electricity,” Pavlick said.

There is something to be said for trying new things. It definitely is a way to put a little bit of zest into life. To that end, the Dietrich will be offering a variety of new classes and events for us to try this June. For example the theater will be hosting Kundalini yoga classes with instructors Barbara Tierney and Melissa Russo starting Saturday, June 2 from 10 - 11:30 a.m. In this class, you will experience the gifts that Kundalini yoga has to offer as you explore breath, movement and mantra leading you into a deeper connection with your own truth. This form of yoga is challenging to everyone yet can be done by everyone. The Dietrich’s Programming Coordinator Margie Young has told me that taking Kundalini yoga on a Saturday morning really re-energizes her for the rest of the day. Sounds good. Right? Those who attend are asked to bring a yoga mat and a blanket. Classes will also be held on Saturdays, June 9, 30 and August 11 from 10 - 11:30 a.m. at the Dietrich. Admission is $15 per class. Plus there will be a special Kundalini Yoga session at Tunkhannock’s Riverside Park on Saturday, July 28 from 10 - 11:30 a.m. What could be better than doing yoga right by the scenic Susquehanna. The Dietrich will also be hosting an Introduction to the Game of Go series in June. On Mondays, June 11, 18, 25, and July 2 from 6 - 7 p.m., adults and students ages eleven and up will learn this ancient game that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago and is still popular today. Like Kundalini yoga, it too is easy to learn yet can be very challenging. During these classes, instructor Bill Herron will teach those who participate the fundamentals of the Game of Go, and by the end of the class series we may be able to have a Go tournament for those who wish to take part. Admission is free. For those of you who are more interested in nature and gardening, the Dietrich will be hosting a presentation with Bonnie Gale on The Potential of Living Willow Structures In the Landscape on Wednesday, June 20 at 7 p.m. Bonnie is an expert in her field who has been building living willow structures in the landscape since 2004. During her illustrated lecture, she will show the basic concepts of building living structures, the development of her work, international examples and the great potential for commercial applications. Her structures have been featured in House and Garden, Vogue, and FiberArts magazine, and she appeared on the Martha Stewart Show in See dietrich, Page 12

With Jane Julius Honchell SEE JANE READ Christopher Moore’s fiction engine is finely tuned. The desire to answer the question “What if?” is one of the motors that powers the machine of fiction,andinhisbig,funnymess of a novel, “Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d’Arte,” Christopher Moore proves once again that his storytelling engine is well-tuned. If you’re a Moore fan, you’ll recognize in this, his fourteenth novel, the familiar mix of wacky weirdness, fact, imagination, and bawdiness found in “Fool,” Moore’s riff on Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” and “Lamb,” which purports to be the story of Christ from the point of view of his childhood buddy, Biff. But “Sacre Bleu” is a horse of a different color: a historical comedy. “This is a story about the color blue,” Moore tells us in his opening sentence, and indeed it is, but mixed into the rare pigment of this particular shade is a story about art, obsession, love, memory, sacrifice and mystery. Well, I said it was messy, right? Some of the book’s messiness stems from the fact that Moore hops about in time like a crazed kangaroo. Although set primarily in Paris from about 1863 to 1891, where “Sacre Bleu” draws us into the meticulously recreated period when the Impressionists flourished, it also goes back to the dawn of human history and forward to the present year, with numerous stops along the way. Most of the Impressionist artists appear as either supporting players or in cameo roles. One, however – Henri Toulouse-Lautrec–sharestopbillingwiththree entirely fictional stars. Henri teams up with his friend and the book’s protagonist, Lucien Lessard, a baker and aspiring painter living in Montmartre, to unravel the mystery of the Colorman, a twisted little man in brown, and his companion. I’ll call her Juliette, since this is the name by which Lucien knows her, but she
appears in many guises. The Colorman, who says his first name is “The,” is, despite his frequent funny remarks, an ominous presence who makes the Sacre Bleu and sells it to the artists, but at a terrible cost. The “What if?” that drives the story centers around the death of Vincent Van Gogh. History tells us that Van Gogh shot himself in a field outside of Auvers, then walked several miles to get help from his doctor before succumbing to his wounds. To Moore, this doesn’t make sense, and we can almost hear him saying: “Yeah, but what if Van Gogh was shot by someone else?” Moore answers his question by having the Colorman appear and accidentally fire the fatal shot. As Henri and Lucien follow the clues, they are drawn into a world where time often stands still and nothing is as it seems. The plot becomes more intriguing when the two discover that Lucien’s beloved Juliette is also Henri’s favorite model, a laundress named Carmen Gaudin. Her story, along with her connection to the Colorman, is eventuallyrevealed–perhapsmorethan it needs to be, since we soon guess that she is a muse. Nevertheless, it’s impossible not to get caught up in the suspense as we wonder whether the two friends will unravel the mystery before the Colorman can destroy them. “Sacre Bleu,” however, rises above the level of a mere detective story and becomes, at times, aseriousmeditationonthepower and origins of the shade of blue onceusedexclusivelytocolorthe Virgin Mary’s cloak (hence its name).

This year is one of celebration for the Joseph W. Hall Memorial Auxiliary to the Clarks Summit Fire Co. #1 and the Clarks Summit Fire Department. “It’s the 60th year anniversary of the auxiliary and the beginning of the fire company’s 100th (anniversary),” said Karyn Bevard, auxiliary president. “He (David S. Flynn) has offered to help us by providing us with something different – an Antique Road Show type of service. A lot of people will come to the event and find something, but they don’t know what it (the item) is worth. Bring something from home – one item per customer and he’ll put a value on it,” said Gayle
Snell, publicity coordinator for the event. Alice Fritch is chairperson of the event. The Flea Market and Craft Show is one of two major fundraisers held by the auxiliary and all proceeds raised are donated to the fire company. Community support for the event has been provided by businesses including Everything Natural, Stanik’s Mower Service, The Jewelry Room, Paul’s Barber Shop & Men’s Hair Styling, Duffy’s Coffee House, Mamma Mia’s, Bunnell Hardware Co., Clel’s Place, The Abington Journal and Dalton Lumber.

searched love letter to the Impressionists, complete with color reproductions of their work. Moore also uses the character of Juliette to provide us with his own take on how these great paintings were made. But if you try to read “Sacre Bleu” like an art historian, ferreting out anachronisms and errors of fact, you’ll be missing the point. Fiction may begin with fact, or be based on it, butwhatmattersishowthewriter transmutes fact into art, and in Moore’s case, fun, since “Sacre Bleu” is first and foremost a comedy. Here is an example of Moore’s wit: Henri and Lucien are chatting in the bakery, and Henri says that he is perplexed by the fact that his maid quit on the spot when he emerged from his bedroom naked as a jaybird. “I assume you were wearing your hat?” Lucien asks. “Of course,” Henri answers indignantly. “What do you think I
am, some philistine?” Jokes like this one abound in “Sacre Bleu,” as do wonderful and often comic portraits of people.Describingtheeccentricprofessor, Emile Bastard, who eventually uses hypnosis to help Lucien recover his lost memories, Moore writes: “The Professeur was a very tall man – his thin, aquilineaspectputoneinmindof a tweedy wading bird of some sort, an academically inclined egret, perhaps.” It’s writing like this that makes Moore a joy to read, and “Sacre Bleu” is his best and most ambitious novel to date. Despite its messiness, reading “Sacre Bleu” won’t make you feel blue.

Fundraisers planned at Dietrich Tunkhannock’s Wyoming County Cultural Center at the Dietrich Theater is a nonprofit movie theater that supports the arts in Wyoming County and surrounding communities. In order to provide low cost or free programming, additional funding is provided not only by grants, but also by the generous help of individuals. This summer, the Dietrich Theater’s Fundraising Committee, led by Annette Sheldon, is embarking on two fundraisers to help support a full range of children’s programming. The first, led by Linda Murray, will be on Founders Day in Tunkhannock, June 23, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. This will be a basket raffle. One

On June 27 from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m., 20% of all bills will go the Dietrich Theater for children’s programming, including art classes, summer camps, children’s theatre and more. In June, Perkins tickets will be available at the Dietrich Theater. . For information about these events call the Dietrich Theater at 996.1500.
Ah, June, the month of graduations and school children welcoming their freedom with dreams of swimming, biking, camping out under the stars, trips to Dorney or Hershey Park and, if they are lucky, a family vacation trip. How well I remember those days when I could also find plenty of time to head to my favorite spot on the porch, book in hand, get lost in the world of Nancy Drew and, as a teenager, in Charles Dickens’ and Jane Austen’s worlds. And just in case you or your children find yourselves looking for something different to spice up the lazy, hazy days of summer, check out our library’s schedule for the next two and a half months.

In addition, there will be many special programs on Tuesday mornings from June11to August 7 at the library or at the Streamside Park. The first one, on June12 at11a.m. will feature the magician, Steve Woyce and he’ll appear at Streamside Park. Young adults (ages12-18) are also included in the summer reading program. Every time a participant reads a book, she or he will get a chance for prizes. The county library system is sponsoring the Battle of the Books (Junior Battle: grades 4-6; Senior Battle: grades 7-12) and discussions of the selected books will occur on Thursdays in July and August at our library. The Battles will a take place at the Mall at Steamtown on August 9 (Juniors) and August16 (Seniors) at 5:30 p.m. Join these Dalton teams and be the champions.

Prep team wins district championship
Chiefs knock off Rangers
STAFF REPORT
Scranton Preparatory School athletes Will Cognetti and Walker Temperton reversed roles with Wyoming Seminary’s Harry Parkhurst and Henry Cornell Thursday in the District 2 Class AA boys’ tennis doubles championship match at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre. Cognetti-Temperton won the district championship with a 6-1, 6-4 victory in a rematch of last year’s title match. A year ago, ParkhurstCornell won as the second seed, dumping the top-seeded team from Scranton Prep in a two-set match that included a tiebreaker in the second set. This time, Cognetti-Temperton came in as the second seed but completed a tournament that included four straight victories in straight sets. Cognetti-Temperton lost just four games in six sets before the final. Those wins included a 6-1, 6-0 romp over Christopher Kim-Willie Lu, the third-seeded team from Wyoming Seminary, in the semifinals earlier Thursday. The win put CognettiTemperton in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association doubles tournament Friday and Saturday at the Hershey Racquet Club. Scranton Prep’s Jay PatelMatt Hanahue fought past Rob Azzarelli-Tim Thomas of Holy Cross, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), Wednesday in the quarterfinal match between the fourth and fifth seeds. Parkhurst-Cornell then defeated Patel-Hanahue, 6-3, 6-2, in Thursday’s semifinals. One Abington Heights team made the final and another reached the semifinal in the District 2-4 Class AAA doubles tournament. Delaware Valley’s Andrew Neidig-Joe Hunt defeated Jai Redkar-Dan Jasinski, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3), in the final after topping Chris SwisherSteven Shields, 6-1, 6-1, in the semifinals. Swisher-Shields, the fifth seed, dumped Tunkhannock’s fourth-seeded team of Jordan Herbert-Brent Christy, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, in the quarterfinals.

pitched for Trail in relief of Miller, helped prevent offensive explosion from the Blue Knights. Wyoming Seminary would not score more than three runs in an inning after their six-run second inning. In five innings of work, Aten allowed eight hits and eight runs and recorded the win. “Sometimes you have your ups and your downs,” Aten said, concerning his early relief appearance. “But a win is a win… I still have all the confidence in the world in Steve.” Trail retook the lead in the fourth off a two-RBI single by senior Bruce Benko and ended the inning ahead 8 – 7. Wyoming Seminary surged back in the fifth thanks to a three-RBI double from junior Craig Skudalski, giving the Blue Knights a 10 – 7 lead. The Lions took the lead for
SCOTT TWP.- After trailing by four runs early, the Lakeland Chiefs baseball team Filarsky rallied to advance to the quarterfinals in the district playoffs. The Chiefs scored 10 straight runs after the early deficit to secure a 10-5 victory over Northwest Area. “No one put themselves down when they made a mistake,” junior Eric Grabowski said. “They kept their heads up, put the bat on the ball and got hits when we needed to.” Grabowski pitched a complete game for the Chiefs and earned the victory. Despite the victory, Grabowski had a shaky start. He hit the first batter he faced and threw a passed ball to the next batter, allowing the runner to advance into scoring position. “I wasn’t hitting my spots early in the game,” Grabowski said. “I tried to let them make contact so my defense could make plays for me.” Lakeland recorded two outs in the inning while allowing one run, but couldn’t get the third out until Northwest scored three more runs, giving the Rangers a commanding 4-0 lead in the first inning. Lakeland had opportunities to cut into the four-run deficit in the first two innings, but junior Cody Delfino struck out with a man stranded on third in the first and the Rangers threw sophomore Chris Roche out at the plate in the second. In the third inning, Delfino redeemed himself and hit a single to center with a man on third to give the Chiefs their first run of the game. A few batters later, freshman Shane Rivenburgh smacked a single into left field to cut Lakeland’s deficit to 4-2. Senior Alex Filarsky started a two-out rally in the fourth inning with a single to left field. Grabowski followed up the single with a two-run shot to left field that tied the game at four. “He likes those kind of moments,” Lakeland coach Larry Piccini said. “He stepped up and made a play for us.” After junior Tyler Brady reached first on an error, Delfino delivered another RBI single to give the Chiefs a 5-4 lead. Lakeland extended its lead in the fifth when Filarsky cracked his third hit of the game over the head of the third baseman to give the Chiefs a 7-4 advantage. Brady then crushed a home run to right center giving the Chiefs a 9-4 lead. Sophomore James Blevins capped off the inning with an RBI triple. During the offensive onslaught, Grabowski and the Lakeland defense didn’t allow a run for five innings. Grabowski settled in striking out four batters and retiring the side twice. “I thought he threw a great

Lakeland pitcher Alissa Steier cracks one of her three doubles in the Lady Chiefs’ 6-0 win over Dunmore.
Lady Chiefs advance Two teams scoreless BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
SCOTT TWP- Lakeland defeated Riverside, 6-0, in a District 2 Class AA softball first round matchup. Alissa Steier led the Lady Chiefs both on the mound and at the plate. Steier hit three doubles, drove in two runs and allowed just four hits over seven innings. “She’s been hot lately,” Lakeland head coach Brian Wagner said. “She was batting in the six hole, and then our catcher (Lauren Terpak) got sick one day so I moved her (Steier) to the four spot. Ever since then she’s been on fire.” Lakeland took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Steier drove in two runs with her first double of the game. The Lady Chiefs struck for two more runs in the bottom of the second.
Dana Prudente drove in a run during the rally. Lakeland’s Allison Kraky knocked in a run in the bottom of the fifth and later scored on a wild pitch to give the Lady Chiefs a 6-0 lead. The first three batters in the Lady Chiefs lineup Sam Amorine, Prudente and Allison Kraky each contributed two hits. “That worked out great especially since it’s been the bottom of the order that has been getting us started,” Wagner said. “To have those top four batters hit makes it that much easier to coach.” Ashley Buffton, Vanessa Schab, Abbey Wzorek and Taylor Tilberry provided the base hits for the Lady Vikings.

Trail outslugs Wyoming Seminary Todd Peters said. “That’s not typically how we like to play the game, but offensively they stayed with it and came through with some big hits.” Trail faced trouble early. After the Lions took a 1 - 0 lead in the first inning, Wyoming Seminary scored six runs on six hits in the second. Senior Bobby Polachek drove in two runs on a single for the Blue Knights. Polachek ended the game with four hits, three runs and two RBIs. Wyoming Seminary’s big inning forced senior starting pitcher Stephen Miller off the mound early. Miller allowed eight hits and six runs in 1.2 innings.

Polachek allowed 13 hits, seven walks and 14 runs, nine earned, in 4.1 innings. Just two at-bats later, senior Caleb Darling followed Murazzi’s grand slam with a two-run homer to give Trail a five-run advantage.

According to Walter Dietz, Regional Outreach & Education Coordinator, PA Fish and Boat Commission Bureau of Boating and Outreach, every year the commission raises and releases plenty of big trout for anglers to catch. “That’s what keeps trout season fun and interesting – the mystery of fishing and not knowing what you’ll catch, how big it will be or how many you will get each time you head out to the local
trout waterway,” he said. Having proper bail can increase your chances of catching a trout. “Stocked trout are generally pretty cooperative at biting on a variety of lures and natural baits,” Dietz said. Some popular local fishing spots are Aylesworth Creek Lake, Lake Eston Wilson, Gardner Creek, Lackawanna Lake, Lackawanna River, Lehigh River, Merli-Sarnoski Park Lake, South Branch Tunkhannock Creek, Roaring Brook and West Branch Wallenpaupack Creek.

they could have all addresses changed to a last line of Waverly Township. All locations within the municipality are listed with house and street numbers, assigned by the appropriate post office. . All buildings with home delivery are serviced by either the Dalton (18414) or Clarks Summit (18411) post office. Some residents maintain post office boxes at the Waverly (18471) post office. STATE OF EMERGENCY “We are requesting a designation of Waverly Township for all locations within our township to provide the Lackawanna County Communications Center with the proper municipality and location when receiving a request for emergency service,” White said. According to White, when a landline phone is used to call 911, the call rings at the Communication Center with an “alley” and an “annie.” Alley is the location and annie, the number system. The emergency message appears on the computer screen based upon the phone number and the corresponding address from the phone company, with the address and municipality if those items are included in the address. For Waverly Township, it appears as either Clarks Summit or Dalton. “We had many problems, especially in the case of a fire or ambulance call, where the dispatch was delayed because they didn’t know which fire company or ambulance to send,” White said. For example, in the Clarks Summit mailing address there are four or five Maple addresses (street, road, drive). There are even some numbers that are the same. Residents with a Clarks Summit mailing address can be located in Waverly, Clarks Green, Clarks Summit, Newton Township, South Abington Township, Glenburn Township or Scott Township. “This is a nightmare and one of the reasons the Department of Homeland Security wanted the municipality as the last line in the address,” said White. According to White, the township had been working with the post office and they seemed to be in agreement about featuring the municipality in the last line of the address. He said the Clarks Summit and Dalton postmasters were “enthusiastic” because it made their job “easier,” especially in the Clarks Summit zip code where many duplicate names exist. White said the township received a call from Shenberger requesting the township’s address information in December 2010. Throughout 2010, the township sent a letter to all residents requesting them to start using Waverly Township instead of Clarks Summit or Dalton as the last address line. “All of a sudden, we got notified that people were not getting their mail,” White
The Abington Journal♦Clarks Summit, PA
Timeline of Events February, 2009 - Waverly Township first approached the U.S. post office about changing addresses for residents. December, 2010- Township Manager Bill White said the township received a call from Carol Shenberger with the United States Postal Service Address Management Systems requesting the township’s address information. Throughout 2010- Waverly Township sent a letter to all residents in the municipality requesting them to begin using Waverly Township (18411) instead of Clarks Summit (18411) or Dalton (18414) in their mailing address. January, 2011- Waverly township sent a second letter to Shenberger with information from the former director of the Lackawanna County Emergency Operations Center, Thomas Dubas. April, 2011- Waverly Township received a letter from the U.S. Postal Service denying the request to use Waverly Township as a preferred last line for delivery offices. January, 2012- North Abington Township requested and was granted use of their township as a preferred last line of the mailing address. said. USPS CORRESPONDENCE The township sent another letter to Shenberger in Jan. 2011, with information from the former director of the Lackawanna County Emergency Operations Center, Thomas Dubas. White read excerpts of that letter: “We have experienced numerous incidents involving the dispatching of emergency services within our area that have resulted in delayed responses due to confusion with determining which municipality the emergency is occurring.... The name of the municipality in the third line of the mailing address is extremely important to the communications center to determine the location of the emergency.” On April 15, 2011, the township received a letter from the U.S. Postal Service denying the request to use Waverly Township as a preferred last line for delivery offices. The reason for this denial, White said, was because two post offices, Clarks Summit and Dalton, cover the delivery area in Waverly Township. Last lines exist for the purpose of processing mail rather than for assessing taxes or insurance premiums or to direct emergency services to a customer’s location, according to the USPS. According to White, many other municipalities in Lackawanna County have already been approved for a last line in the mailing address. Examples include Scott Township, S. Abington Twp., Jefferson Twp., Mayfield and Blakely. These municipalities don’t have their own individual post office, but share a zip code with a number of other municipalities receiving the mail out of the same post office. TAXING PROBLEMS White said there are many problems caused by the current system, including wage tax collection and emergency response time. “If you live in Waverly Township and list Clarks Summit as your address, all your earned income tax is sent to Clarks Summit,” White said. “Sixty-five percent of Waverly Township’s income comes from earned income tax and the collection is based upon your address. Wage tax collection is adversely affect-
ed because employers forward withheld taxes to the municipality named as the taxpayer’s address. The only way to quickly identify where a specific address is physically located is by the name of the municipality. The city namein the address plays a very important role in people knowing in which municipality they live. “The difficulty is quickly identifying a location if the municipality is not in the address,” White said. “This has caused very serious and sometimes deadly delays in emergency responses in our area.” After the township was informed that the change could not be done because of the use of multiple zip codes, White directed township solicitor Andrew Hailstone to contact the USPS. “The township disputes the reasoning of the district manager of the USPS Central PA District about the limited number of zip codes that share a preferred last name with another office,” Hailstone said. “In the immediate vicinity of Waverly Township, there are five municipalities with a preferred last line that may be used in more than one zip code (Scott Township, Clifford Township, Roaring Brook Township, Covington Township and Nicholson). Even Dalton, which is one of the zip codes that includes a portion of Waverly Township in its delivery area, allows Scott Township or Scott Twp. to be used as a city name,” Hailstone added. In January 2012, North Abington Township requested and was granted use of their township as a preferred last line of the mailing address. An appeal by Waverly Township as a preferred last name for two post offices was denied, based on feedback from post offices that share mailing names. Elizabeth Schafer, Assistant Treasurer of Bank Relations at the United States Postal Service, explained, “We understand the desire to have a separate identity from Clarks Summit (18411) and Dalton (18414), but new zip codes are issued only when there is an operational benefit to the USPS.” Hailstone countered that the township never requested a zip code change, but has not received a response from the USPS since March 2012.

efficient and effective academic administration.” “Of course,” he continued, “we have always fully recognized our legal obligations to negotiate over the impact of moving in that direction, including any issues surrounding potential changes in bargaining unit work.” Friedman said the concept spurred the faculty to a 160 to 27 vote, which ended via electronic ballot April 13, to adopt a strict “work to rule,” or “minimal compliance” status in meeting contractual obligations. He said this means the union members agree to temporarily uphold all mandatory duties outlined in the Faculty Handbook, but refrain from all duties not contractually mandatory, as a method of “pressuring administration” to agree with faculty terms for the new contract. According to the council’s statement, the “New Department Chair Concept” also provoked numerous letters of protest, a boycott of the university’s Faculty Appreciation Dinner March 30 and a pledge signed by 216 faculty members, stating they will not accept an appointment to the department chair position if it is not included in the collective bargaining unit represented by the Faculty Affairs Council. Zygmunt declined to comment on the status of negotiations and related union actions. Jody DeRitter, of Clarks Summit, a signer of the pledge and longtime depart-
ment chairperson who has been with the university for 20 years, said of the concept, “I think it’s a terrible idea.” He explained that although the first thing to come to mind for many when they hear the word “union” is disputes over pay, the issue at hand is different. “This is not about money,” he said. “This is about the atmosphere of the place.” He said he believes the faculty, the people who teach in the classrooms, are the people who best know the classrooms and therefore should be the ones making decisions regarding them. Terrence Sweeney, of Clarks Summit, a 20-year professor in the university’s biology department and member of the faculty union’s contract negotiations Table Team, said, “Unlike many other organizations, a university is comprised in part of employees—faculty—who are specifically and highly trained in a diversity of disciplines...Our primary responsibility is to determine how best to train students in each of those disciplines.” “Since the knowledge and know-how come from the faculty rather than...the university administration,” he continued, “the faculty must play a special role in guiding the process of how we best educate our students.” He said the “New Department Chair Concept” would “turn that concept on its head,” giving the administration the power to “dictate” how to carry out the university’s mission of education. “Essentially,” Sweeney
McAndrew, Scranton. She was preceded in death by two sisters Ann Page and Helen Yacinek, and three brothers Adam, Andrew, and John Chase. A mass of Christian burial will be held May 30 at 10 a.m. from Our Lady of the Snows Church, 301 S. State St. Clarks Summit Pa. 18411. All those attending are asked to go directly to the church. Interment will be in St. Peter and Paul’s Cemetery in Scranton. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, 967 Griffin Pond Rd., S.

said, “the issue comes down to a matter of governance in charting the academic direction of the university.” Friedman said the university’s Faculty Senate recently voted 25 to 0 to call upon first-year President Rev. Kevin Quinn to reconsider the concept. Friedman said it violates the principal of “shared governance,” which he defined as “the process by which the members of a university community share the responsibility for reaching decisions on matters of policy and procedure.” “The Department Chair Concept violates the principal of ‘shared governance,’” Friedman said, “because the university announced its intention to implement it without any prior consultation with the faculty, and has thus far refused to alter its decision despite strong and widespread objections from the faculty.” Zygmunt said, “Our faculty have had, and will continue to have, a strong voice in the life of the university through robust shared governance. We are immensely proud of our faculty and their deep commitment to our students. Disagreements at the bargaining table will not diminish that pride.” Friedman said Quinn recently requested a meeting with the Faculty Senate’s Executive Committee for further consideration of the concept, but has not yet indicated any intention of backing down. “FAC (Faculty Affairs Council) sincerely hopes that this meeting will take place,” he said, “and that it will convince Fr. Quinn to withdraw the concept.”
