‘Ray of sunshine’ remembered “I was so blessed to have Karen in my life...she touched my heart and not a day will go by that I won’t miss her and her beautiful smile.”
BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
Ray of sunshine. Team player. These are just a few of the words Karen Hoyt’s co-workers at Lackawanna Valley Dermatology Associates, Limited used to describe their friend. The South Abington Township wife and mom of three died May 24 after a crash on the McDade Expressway. “Karen’s face always lit up when

she shared stories or accomplishments of her incredible kids, Jordan, Lauren and Matt. Karen was madly in love with her husband, Jay, and
loved sharing her life with him. We loved supporting our Lady Comets basketball team together,” said Kathy Colombo, Practice Manager.
And at the office where she worked for just under three years, Hoyt brought joy to everyone with whom she came in contact. “Karen was a ray of sunshine for our practice and our patients. She was such a team player,” said Dr. Michael O’Donnell. According to Colombo, Hoyt welcomed each patient with the same warm greeting. “Whenever she would escort a patient back to an exam room, she
would always say, ‘Hi, my name is Karen.’ She made sure that she made a personal connection with each patient...she was so open and caring. “My affectionate nickname for Karen was Hoytie,” Colombo added. “Hoytie was one of my staff, but more importantly, she was my friend in the Abington community as well.

Creeks a threat in Ransom
C.S. business looks to expand

RANSOM TWP. - At the Ransom Township Board of Supervisors Meeting May 30, Supervisor David Bird brought up the need for programs and funds to clean up the creeks in the township. He told Lackawanna County Community Relations Coordinator Rick Notari that the creeks create major problems in the area with flooding, and said he would rather fix them now, than wait for someone to lose a life or a home before doing something about it. Notari said a similar issue came up at a meeting in La Plume, and the county’s answer for the people there was that if a creek needs to be cleaned on either side of a county-owned

The audience included kindergarten and first grade students and parents June 1 at Clarks Summit Elementary School.

Performers danced, sang and smiled their way across the stage. The show also featured Lucy, a female black Newfoundland dog, whose owner is 4th grade Newton Ransom Elementary student, Collin Kudrako Kashatus. Lucy played the part of “Seaman,” a black Newfoundland dog who reportedly became famous as a member of the first American overland expedition from the Atlantic to Pacific coast.

Career of service comes to close C.S. police chief used ‘gift’ BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

lthough he retired April 30, Clarks Green resident Louis Vitale Jr. may still take notice of drivers who commit traffic violations, so residents should beware. Throughout his career in law enforcement, Vitale has been accused by his family of driving as though he were on patrol. “It’s a whole different world when you don’t have that marked car and uniform,” said Vitale, who recently retired as chief of the Clarks Summit Borough police department. His career in law enforcement began as a patrolman in Clarks Green Borough at a time when the borough
had a police department. In 1979, he joined the Clarks Summit police force and throughout his career had worked under a number of chiefs and mayors, until 2005, when he assumed the role of police chief. “I was drawn to public safety. I thought I wanted to be a policeman and I liked helping people and the idea of having to deal with things as they come up,” he said. Vitale also may be the only person to have served as both the police and fire chief in town, and has been a member of the Clarks Summit Fire Company No. 1, Inc., since 1974. He said of his career, “Everybody has something they think is a God

Retired Clarks Summit police chief, Louis Vitale, Jr., said, “I’ve really enjoyed dealing with the people in Clarks Summit. I’ve liked being their police chief and I think we dealt with them fairly and gave them the brand of law enforcement the community needed and the majority of the people generally wanted.” See Chief, Page 7 Vitale’s last day on the job was April 30.
CLARKS SUMMIT - At the Borough of Clarks Summit Council work session May 29, Don Wydeen, of Glenburn and his daughter Gretchen Wydeen, owner a consignment tack shop , requested a Curative Amendment to change the zoning for a property they are attempting to purchase on Lackawanna Trail Road. Don Wydeen explained the plan is to expand Divine Equine and redesign the building, possibly adding an apartment on the top floor. He said the current MI zone, which is a manufacturing-type zone, doesn’t allow for that use and he is requesting it to be changed to a CC zone. Council member Herman Johnson expressed concerns with the property, regarding safety and parking. It was noted that for the development of the property, the business will first have to go through the Clarks Summit Planning Commission, who will then forward a recommendation to Council. Wydeen said he has not gotten that far yet, and the purpose of his visit was specifically in regard to the zoning. Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe said the earliest the matter can be put on the agenda for consideration of a vote is July 11. Council determined to look into the request and discuss it further. Council honored photographer Jay Walter and thanked him for photography services over the past 20 years. Walter said, “It’s been a lot of fun over the years. I’ve enjoyed working with the Borough.” Council also thanked Eagle Scouts, Jason Kohn and Tyler VanGorder, for the work they did for their Eagle Scout projects. See Business, Page 16

A mosquito tested positive for the virus about two months earlier than Lackawanna County has seen in previous years, according to Herman Johnson, Borough of Clarks Summit Emergency Management Coordinator. West Nile virus is a potentially serious illness, and experts believe the virus is established as a seasonal epidemic in North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. Johnson provided information to help the public recognize and prevent West Nile virus: The easiest and best way to avoid the virus is to prevent mosquito bites. When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient. Follow the directions on the package. Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times or consider staying indoors during these hours. Make sure to have good screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used. Symptoms: The severe symptoms can include: high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis.
These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.Milder symptoms include: fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Approximately 80 percent of people who are infected with the virus will not show any symptoms at all. Johnson said the virus spreads in various ways that do not include touching another person. Most often, the virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to humans and other animals when they bite. In a very small number of cases, the virus also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby. Johnson said people typically develop symptoms between 3 and 14 days after they are bitten by the infected mosquito. There is no specific treatment for the virus infection. In cases with milder symptoms, people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks. In more severe cases, people usually need to go to the hospital where they can receive supportive treatment. Johnson said that anyone who develops symptoms of severe illness from the virus, such as unusually severe headaches or confusion, you should seek medical attention immediately. Severe illness usually requires hospitalization.
Summer reading time approaches As schools prepare to empty out for the summer, Lackawanna County libraries eagerly anticipate a flood of children who will sign up for the annual Summer Reading Clubs. According to Mary Garm, Lackawanna County Library System administrator, more than 3,500 are expected join clubs this year. The theme this year, “Dream Big, Read!,” is designed to help children understand that reading feeds the imagination and exposes them to worlds beyond their own. Summer reading clubs have been a tradition at libraries for generations. “Studies show that children who read during the summer go back to school in the fall with their reading skills reinforced and are ready to succeed,” said Garm. But the clubs offer more than books. There are activities for children almost every day during the summer. Garm stressed that participation in reading clubs and associated activities is

Cassidy Henry and Megan Fellows, Abington Heights High School students, win the National Security Language Initiative for Youth scholarship.
Learners excel BY STEPHANIE ELKO Abington Journal Correspondent
For the second year in a row, recipients of the National Security Language Initiative Scholarship for Youth have come from Amy Wojcik’s Russian language class at Abington Heights High School. Winners of the scholarship need not cover any expenses including domestic and international travel, tuition, language testing, educational and cultural activities, meals and accommodations. This year Cassidy Henry, daughter of John and Alice Henry of Ransom Township and Megan Fellows, daughter of Patrick and Patricia Fellows of Waverly Township will be packing their bags for the beginning of their journey June 21. Last year’s winner was Jacob Fitzpatrick. It is not necessary to have foreign language skills for this scholarship, but Henry and Fellows, both seniors in the fall, already have a few years behind them. “I have bouts of nervousness all the time, but I keep on telling myself that this is going to be a great learning and cultural experience. I have to tell myself to
five days per week in the classroom. It does not faze Henry. She said she is not nervous about studying in a foreign country or being away from her family. But, because it has been her dream to visit, she hopes Russia can live up to her expectations. Fellows, studying Russian, French and Spanish said, “ I think that every culture and every place has something special about it that makes it great.” The scholarship is offered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and supports languages that are less-commonly studied such as: Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Persian and Turkish. It receives about 3,000 applicants and awards 650 scholarships. Abington Heights Russian teacher, Wojcik, discovered the scholarship because the bureau is involved in the Russian Olympiada and essay contests in which her students participate. Henry won three gold medals at the Olympiada, a Russianspeaking contest, and two gold medals for the essay contest. Fellows won two gold medals at the Olympiada and one bronze for the essay contest.
calm down. I’m not in Russia yet,” Fellows said. Participants are placed in different cities based on levels of proficiency. Henry will study Russian in Kazan at the National Research Technological University, which is located to the far southeast of Moscow. Fellows will live in one of the oldest cities in Russia, Nizhniy Novgorod and study at The Linguistic University of Novgorod, located also southeast of Moscow. They will spend six weeks in Russia with hosts families who may or may not speak English. The program encourages immersion in the language that participants are studying; students are told to speak English only when talking with friends and family from home. “I think it is very important to get experience [studying abroad and learning a language] because you become more open minded. I think about grammar more and my English has improved significantly because of it,” Henry said. The classes in which Henry and Fellows are enrolled will be taught completely in Russian. They will spend four hours each day,

A law was recently passed geared toward drivers and passengers under the age of 18 and it is considered a primary offense if they are caught without wearing a seat belt. “It is important for those in the backseat to wear seat belts as well. Your weight times the speed of the vehicle is the force unleashed, so you will still be thrown forward and are at risk for injury,” Taluto said.

On June 8, as the United States Supreme Court prepares to issue its ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act , concerned citizens will take to the Scranton streets to voice public opposition to the Obama administration’s Health and Human Services Mandate. The HHS Mandate forces all employers—including Catholic schools and hospitals—to provide free contraceptives, surgical sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through their health plans, regardless of religious or moral convictions. The Scranton Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally will begin at noon across from the William J. Nealon Bldg., 235 N. Washington Ave., Courthouse Square, joining more than155 other cities and towns from Maine to Hawaii that are participating in this national event. A complete list of rally sites and other details are available at StandUpRally.com. “If Obamacare Affordable Care Act) is ruled unconstitutional, we must ensure that religious freedom will be protected in subsequent health care legislation,” said Haas. “But if Obamacare is not struck down, we’ll be sending the federal government a clear message that the faith-based institutions and private businesses affected by the HHS Mandate here in Scranton will not violate their consciences by complying with it.”

I was so blessed to have Karen in my life...she touched my heart and not a day will go by that I won’t miss her and her beautiful smile.” It was not just at work that the Scranton native showed dedication and friendliness. Hoyt also served as a librarian’s aide at the Clarks Summit and Waverly Elementary Schools, and directed the 100book challenge. “She worked very well with the staff of both schools and was a very positive and pleasant person,” Waverly and Clarks Summit Elementary School Principal Steven Aquilina said. “She was extremely dedicated and a good family person.” The Abington Heights High School alumnus stayed true to her school district. She returned to serve as president of the Waverly Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association for many years. And the graduate of Keystone Junior College, who also attended the University of Scranton, was active in many community activities, including the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and fundraising for the soccer, basketball and track teams at Abington Heights. Hoyt took particular pride in her children’s athletic accomplishments, including daughter Jordan’s 2010 PIAA gold medal in the 200-meter dash; her daughter Lauren’s success as a point guard for the Lady Comets’ basketball team and her son Matt’s accomplishments on the soccer field. “She was extremely supportive of her children,” Abington Heights head soccer coach Steve Klingman said. “I’ve coached Matt from middle school all the way up to high school. He is a great kid and a really hard- working player. I’m sure his parents have had an influence on him.” Several former co-workers of Karen shared some of their fondest memories.

That was my gift.” For more than 30 years he enforced the borough’s criminal statutes, motor vehicle laws and borough ordinances and performed patrol, investigative and first responder duties. Among his many accomplishments and career commendations are recognition for the apprehension of an armed-robbery suspect following a multi-jurisdiction car chase and foot pursuit in 1988; a mayoral commendation for the peaceful and speedy resolution of a heated domestic situation involving four individuals and an unlicensed firearm, 1995; a Citizen’s Award, Bureau of Police Clarks Summit, in appreciation and recognition of assistance in support of law enforcement, 1977; and a Special Commendation Certificate, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General for outstanding service as a member of the Attorney General’s Municipal Drug Task Force. “It (police work) is not the same thing every day.

employees of the office. “We are blessed to have had Karen work in our practice where she was not only an excellent worker, but an amazing person as well,” Severs said. “To say that our office is devastated by Karen’s tragic death is an extreme understatement. She was such a positive person that it made us all better for having known her. She had an infectious smile and certainly wasn’t afraid to show it. If you talked to Karen even once, it was obvious that most important in her life was her family. She talked about her children and her husband constantly...she was so proud of them.” Dr. Mark Marsili said, “Karen also loved talking about her dog, Izzy, that she loved so much.” Another co-worker described Hoyt as someone you could count on. “Karen would always say ‘I’ve got you covered,’” Dr. Joanne Zenker said. “She was always there to help in any way possible.” Abington Heights head track and field coach Frank Passetti, who coached Jordan and Lauren, said the character of Karen was shown in the attendance at her memorial service. “If there was any question about the influence and impact of the life of Karen Hoyt, the incredible turnout at her funeral would have removed all doubt,” Passetti said. Hoyt is survived by her mother Ruth Hayden, Newton Twp., two brothers, James Hayden and wife, Dorothy, Dalton; and Ronald Hayden, Mount Cobb; mother-in-law, Carol C. Hoyt, and father-inlaw, Justus C. Hoyt, Clarks Summit. Her father was the late Leroy Hayden. Although co-workers and longtime friends shared many memories, no words could illustrate the loss felt by a community. “Karen will be missed more than words could ever express,” said co-worker Dr. Severs. “To lose someone like Karen is devastating to our whole community. She touched so many lives, and we know that she will always be with us.” a variety of emergency calls, investigated complaints, and apprehended criminals. As police chief, he managed a staff of 12 employees including four full- time officers, seven part-time officers and a clerk. From May 1994 to May 1995 and July 2004 to December 2004, he served as interim police chief for the Clarks Summit Police Department. “When you become chief, it’s a quasi-political position. You’re in the middle…The structure is that there are the men, the chief and the mayor is the liaison with the police and the council. The chief attends the council meetings. When you’re there (at the meetings) you can be under direct fire. It’s different than being a patrolman, especially when you’re in a small department,”Vitale said. “You’re the leader of the men, you participate with them. In my opinion, in most police departments they somewhat take on the personality of the chief…Policemen are such individuals and they have to be to do that job and be out there on an island. Vitale said he is grateful to Mayor Harry Kelly for “his unwavering support of me and the department.”He added, “I’ve really enjoyed dealing with the people in Clarks Summit. I’ve liked being their police chief and I think we dealt with them fairly and gave them the brand of law enforcement the community needed and the majority of the people generally wanted.”

Art event to feed the HUNGRY BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
“Hunger for the Arts” is the event’s title, but its primary mission is the other way around: arts for the hungry. The NEPA Meals on Wheels fundraiser will be held June 7 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Scranton Cultural Center, and tickets will be sold at the door for $15.

Paul McGuinness, one of the event
organizers, described it as a “fun evening benefiting a great cause.” McGuinness is a pastor at Parker Hill Community Church, which has campuses in Clarks Summit and Dickson City. Proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels, which is a mostly government-funded organization that delivers about 800 fresh meals per day to the elderly and disabled population of Lackawanna County. According to Executive Director Linda Steier, the meal deliveries are made by 120 local volunteers, who maintain 39 delivery routes in the county.

Who plays the Evil Queen in "Snow White and the Huntsman"?
Tunkhannock’s Founders’ Day is quickly approaching, and we would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, June 23 for a day filled with wonderful entertainment, delicious food and unique vendors and shops in downtown Tunkhannock. It is not too early to mark your calendars for this summer celebration. The Dietrich will be offering a host of activities for you and your family and friends to enjoy on Founders’ Day. First, you must come out and see the Dietrich’s new exhibit “The Many Expressions of Folk Art.” In this exhibit, Patrick Robinson and other local collectors will display old and new folk art treasures including an eclectic mix of carvings and works for children. Folk art is created outside the typical parameters of art institutions. It is known for its inventiveness, expression, utility, community, individuality and symbolism. During this exhibit we will also display works painted by students in the Dietrich’s Decorative Painting class. If you are unable to see the exhibit on Founders’ Day, this must-see show will be on display at the Dietrich through August during regularly scheduled movie times or by appointment. The Dietrich Children’s Theatre will also be back with a new production for Founders’ Day weekend. This time the troupe will explore the gift of generosity as they “travel” to Pakistan for their staged folktale production of “The Gifts of Wali Dad”. This tale is about a simple, happy man named Wali Dad. After several years, he finds that he has saved more money than he can possibly use. He wants to do something good so he sends a gift to a deserving queen. The queen sends him a bigger gift in return. Wali Dad cleverly passes this on to a noble king, who sends Wali Dad an even more lavish present. The more Wali Dad tries to give away the more he is rewarded. Please join us to see the antics that ensue and if Wali Dad can ever return to the simple life that he loved. This show will be performed on Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m. and Saturday, June 23 at 11 a.m. Admission is free thanks to grant support from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Tickets are available by calling 996.1500 or at the door while supplies last. The Dietrich will also present Poe in the Park at Tunkhannock’s Lazybrook Park on Founders’ Day evening at 7 p.m. During this theatrical See Dietrich, Page 11

LIBRARY NEWS
BY MARY ANN MCGRATH
During the month of June, the Abington Community Library will feature a special book display on “Outdoor Grilling,” with a collection of cookbooks and how-to books certain to keep gas or charcoal grills “fired up” and offering the tastiest of hot weather meals. New Adult Fiction (Short Loan Shelf) “Calico Joe,” by John Grisham. Joe Castle, the kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas, shattered all rookie records for home runs in the summer of 1973, becoming the idol of every baseball fan in America. Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-throwing Mets pitcher, Warren Tracey, is in the stands rooting for “Calico Joe” but also for his father as the two finally face each other. Then, Warren throws a fast ball that changes all their lives forever. “The Witness,” by Nora Roberts. The mystery of Abigail Lowery who lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks, intrigues Brooks Gleason, the local sheriff.

Jessica Smallwood’s painting "Water Lilies" will be on display at Angels Galeria as part of her exhibition,"Heavy."
Splash of symbolism BY GERARD E. NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent
A
rtist Jessica Smallwood has made a splash in the local art scene with her mixed media approach and striking imagery. As for her method, Smallwood applies primarily a “mixture of spray paint, acrylic and a likely-toxic combination of other chemicals” to her canvases to achieve the effects she desires. She likes to paint on “a variety of surfaces, ranging from plywood boards to handmade canvases.” “But I’m not opposed to painting on/with anything that just looks cool,” she said. Fresh off of being named the region’s “Best Visual Artist” by the readers of the Weekender, Smallwood will display her pieces in an exhibit called “Heavy” at Angels Galeria, Depot Street, Clarks Summit. The exhibition is part of the Second Friday Art Walk, sponsored by the Arts Council of the Abingtons. Though she spent an “inordinate amount of time” painting in the studio in high school, Smallwood downplayed her artistic background, explaining that she only took a few art classes as an undergraduate at Marywood University. While she may lack some of the formal training of others, her recent accolades point to a rising star in the NEPA art firmament.

Her work has adorned the walls at Kildare’s Irish Pub as part of Scranton First Friday art series. Additionally, one of her pieces, titled “The Beginning,” was selected for inclusion in the Wyoming Valley Art League’s 2011 Juried Show. The work showcased Smallwood’s ability to imbue her pieces with symbolism. “The figure faces the bright, warm future and is ready to rise above the misery and pain…the wings, even though they’re only bare bones, have a certain hopeful quality, that perhaps one day they’ll be fleshed out and feathered,” the description of “The Beginning” on her Artgonia.com page reads. Her upcoming exhibition at Angels Galeria was the result of a happy accident, according to Smallwood. “I was killing some time, exploring the area after dropping off some flyers for my friends… and I just wandered into the Galeria,” she said. There she met Angels Galeria owner Charles Charlesworth, and they struck up a conversation, which led to a discussion of Smallwood’s artwork. His interest piqued, Charlesworth asked Smallwood to email him photographs of her work, she said. “He was gracious enough to give me the spot, and here we are,” she said. In addition to her exhibitions, Smallwood offers
private art lessons and teaches a few painting classes at Jo-Ann Fabrics in Dickson City. As for the future, Smallwood said she can “definitively” say that she is not sure what’s next. She does know that she wants to continue painting and exhibiting her work as well as broaden her teaching experience. Although she teaches classes and has garnered attention for her art, Smallwood said that fundamentally she creates art for its therapeutic value. “I just find it to be something that helps me sort through the muck of life, so I do it,” she said. In addition to Smallwood’s exhibition at Angels Galeria, other venues will host work of local artists for the enjoyment of the community. The venues this month include: Steve Pronko Jewelry, Lawler’s Affordable Elegance, Sunrise Cafe, Aggie’s Bridal, Duffy’s Coffee House, Sonia’s Contemporary Clothing, Paulette’s Pretty Purses, Beta Bread, Edward Jones, Chloe and Company, Everything Natural, Sole to Soul and Monogram Muse. One notable event this month is the Argentine tango demonstrations and dancing that will take place in the Clarks Summit Borough Hall by NEPA Tango Connection. The art walk begins at 5 and concludes at 9 p.m.

Concert to fight cancer Emerging country star, Coy Taylor, and local favorite, Erica Leigh, will perform at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds (Route 6, Meshoppen) June 16 at 7 p.m. to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Eastern Pennsylvania. Taylor and Leigh hope that through their music, they can raise awareness and support for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Leigh lost her sister, Tammi Lynn Jervis Reeves, to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) almost 22 years ago. Nearly a year later, her other sister, Melissa Ann Vitek, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Vitek has beaten her cancer and has been a survivor for 21 years. She is currently living in Huntingdon Valley with her husband, Andy, and their two sons, Alex and Drew. She is an optometrist and recently opened her own practice. “I met Erica Leigh last year when we were doing a music video for my song Deeper Shades of Blue Collar. We became fast friends as we both shared a passion and love for music and family,” said Taylor. The opening act is The Infinity, a local band from the 1980s, who recently reunited. All of the band’s original members will perform, including Steve Maruzelli on vocals and guitar, Thom Kotch on lead guitar, Ron Reeves, who was married to Leigh’s
sister, Tammi Lynn Jervis Reeves, on bass guitar, Scott Webber on drums, and Wayne (Gus) Gozikowski on keyboards. “It is important to understand the challenges that cancer brings on a person and their loved ones,” said Taylor. “We want to focus on the positive, to bring together families and friends to celebrate the good times. We pray that our music helps raise awareness and support.” This concert is open to the public. Donations are encouraged. For a $200 donation, guests will enjoy sitting in the first three rows as well as backstage passes and a chance to meet the performers. Those who are unable to attend the concert can donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by calling the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter at 800.482.2873.
Coy Taylor will perform at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds, June 16.

DISCOVERY
Continued from Page 1 Beth Shaw, Newton Ransom Elementary music teacher explained how the annual production, part of the “Arts Alive” program, benefits the students. She said, “It is collaboration, involving countless people and that is what makes it such a special event each year. The arts come alive at Newton Ransom each spring and our children are changed for the better by their involvement. ” She added, “Seeing those students rise up and shine on stage leaves no doubt about how important the arts are to every child’s education. How thankful we are that Abington Heights still believes in nurturing the whole child.” “Destination West” is rooted in the school’s 4th grade Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum, according to 4th grade teacher Rebecca Kameroski. It featured students in the fourth grade as the core group and primary performers in the show, with help from second and third graders. “AEIO and YOU have supported this program over the years,” Kameroski said. “If we did not have their monetary support, we could not do this program. The Pennsylvania Council of the ARTs and the NEIU #19 has also helped with matching funds to pay for rostered artists.” Shaw collaborated with Kameroski in choosing songs. “Choosing the music takes quite a bit of time, finding songs that are about the theme, that are ageappropriate, and that the children would enjoy. Once the script, songs, and dances are decided upon, the show begins to come together, and we all get very excited about the process,” Shaw said. Mark Montella, percussionist, NEIU rostered artist and “Wanabees” band member, provided musical accompaniment. “The show really isn’t about the music. The music is a vehicle for the dance.

Because of the dance, the music is heard passively. Almost the same concept applies in the songs the children are singing. The focus is the words the children are singing. You may tap your toe or know the song “Shenandoah,” but it’s all about the children singing.” Scranton Civic Ballet Company instructor, Meg Trelease, was choreographer. According to Kameroski, Trelease set parts of the show to dance. Among those who gave their time
and talents to this year’s show were 4th grade teachers, Kameroski, Brian Saslo, Johanna Wise and Hilary Frear; Julie Cordaro 4th grade aide and second and third grade teacher; Trelease, choreographer; Shaw, musical director; Jack McGuigan, resident poet; Dena Maciak, art and stage designer; Mary Kay Kuzma, violinist; and Montella, percussionist. “Mr. Robert Bugno is very important to this program. As the head administrator at Newton- Ransom Elementary, his support and guidance has been instrumental in promoting and maintaining this program over the years. Pam Kane, our secretary and all the support staff at Newton Ransom Elementary have helped support this program in numerous ways,” Kameroski said. “Parents are also crucial to the success of this program. They cook, bake, sew, shop, decorate, put on makeup, build scenery and help in so many ways.” Kneeling, from left, are: Brian Czyzyk, TJ Penyak.

Aten relieved Flynn and got the final two outs. “I give our kids credit,” DiMattia said. “Any other team that could have been a 10-run game and we would have been back on the bus early.” Lackawanna Trail got to Old Forge early. Blue Devils starting pitcher David Chromey walked the first two batters, then retired the next two. Five straight Lions reached base in the fiverun inning, highlighted by Darling singling in two runs from the ninth
spot in the order. Miller drove in Lackawanna Trail’s first and last runs on a groundout and a sacrifice fly. Rosa’s two-run single, after the Lions loaded the bases on walks, made it 7-2 in the third. Aten added a two-run
blast to right field in the fourth. Flynn finished 2-for-2 with a sacrifice and a walk. Aten and Peter Murazzi also had two hits for the Lions, who advanced into the state tournament where they face District 3 champion

“She was so fired up because of the notoriety of the shortstop from that team. I told her that when they see you play, the world will know how good Allison Kraky is.” Lakeland left seven runners on base, including five in the final three innings. Kraky took second on the throw home and Steier drew a walk, but both were stranded. In the seventh, a leadoff single by third baseman Belle Standefer was followed by a sacrifice bunt off the bat of catcher Lauren Terpak, but Standefer was left at second base. In the top of the eighth, Prudente singled to right , and Kraky worked a10-pitch walk to move Prudente into scoring position. Both runners would go no further, though. “Our team, the second time, the third time through we started to hit the ball against her,” Wagner said. “Early on, I think nerves, jitters played a role. When we settled down, we started getting some hits. I never worried about our team.” Nanticoke got a run in the first inning when Gow and Katie Kowalski singled in front of Kayley Schinski. Schinski singled to plate Gow, but Prudente threw a bullet home and Terpak got the tag down on Kowalski for the final out of the inning. Kraky singled leading off the fourth inning for Lakeland’s first real threat of the game, moving to second on a bunt by Steier. First baseman Shelby Gallis ripped a liner toward center field, but had her sure run-scoring single snared by a leaping Gow, who fell directly onto the second base bag to complete a double play, ending the inning. “That was phenomenal,” Nanticoke coach Gary Williams said. “We knew Lakeland was a good team coming in. It took a little of the wind out of their sails.” In the bottom of the eighth, Nanticoke’s Ange Hillan led off with a single and stole second. Kowalski singled to right, but Hillan only went as far as third. While a walk loaded the bases, setting up a force play at home plate, Steier induced a pop to Kraky at short and got Nanticoke’s Lindsay Roberts looking at strike three for the second out. Katie Wolfe followed by dropping a pitch into left field in front of Amorine, who had no chance to throw out the Nanticoke runners. Hillan scored the championship-winning run.
A.H. grad named as All-Region selection Marywood University’s Nicholas Pasqualichio has been named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Mid-Atlantic All-Region team as a second -team selection.

Miners sign quarterback The NEPA Miners, a member of the Regional American Football League, signed a four -year starter and team captain at the University of Rhode Island, quarterback Jayson Davis. While at Rhode Island, the athletic 6-foot, 190- pound Davis set school rushing records for quarterbacks with 2,717 yards and 42 touchdowns. Davis ran the option at Rhode Island, but looks forward to showcasing his ability to throw the ball in the Miners’ offense. The Miners recently lost East Stroudsburg University graduate Ray Wagner to the Porvoo Butchers, one of the most successful franchises at Finland’s highest level of American pro-
fessional football. This was the second straight year the Miners lost a top recruit to professional football outside of the United States. Miners’ running back and Penn State graduate Austin Scott signed last season with the Braunschweig Lions in the German Football League. The Miners are looking to replace Justin Piontkowski who started the last two seasons at quarterback. The signing of Davis strengthens a competitive quarterback position with first-year Miner Joe Piazza performing well in the team’s first scrimmage and the athletic Javaun Barnett who previously played with the semi-pro Electric City Chargers.

Bird suggested that if other townships in the county are having problems with the creeks, it may be beneficial to get a program together for them to pool resources to fix the problem. Supervisor Dennis Macheska pointed out Ransom Township has over eight miles of creek, which he translated to “eight miles of trouble.” Supervisor William “Bud” Brown added that even a grant to clean up just a mile of the creek would be a help, because that would be one mile less to

Visitors invited The public is invited to visit the new Endless Mountains Visitors Center the week of June 11. After four months of transforming a residence into a new visitors center and office, the Endless Mountains Visitors Bureau opened the doors of its new location on the top of Mile Hill in Tunkhannock May 11.

worry about. Macheska said at the beginning of the meeting that the township hired Marx Accounting and Forensic Services to complete the forensic audit of township’s financial records for the period between January 1, 2007 through March 17, 2012. Solicitor Edmund Scacchitti said the audit is now in progress, and Macheska added that it is expected to take two to three months to complete. The forensic audit was requested by Pa. State Police, following the resignation of former Ransom Township secretary-treasurer Kathy Zielinski March 19 after irregularities were found during an audit of the township finances, according to Scacchitti. Bird gave the road report, saying the road crew began
