“This (parenting) is the most important job I have…we just want to spend as much time with them, whether that’s through coaching or school- related activities.”
BY KELLY MCDONOUGH Abington Journal Correspondent
Sometimes things just seem to “happen.” And that’s exactly what “happened” to Paula Mackarey, president and owner of Happenings Communications Group, Inc. After studying advertising and public relations at Marywood College, now University, Mackarey began working for regional magazine Happenings in August 1994. The Scranton resident said it was an evolution. She worked for Mackarey an interim owner for two years, putting in a lot of hours and basically making it her life. When the magazine went up for sale, Mackarey said her brother helped her purchase it. “It was a smaller company, just me. I don’t even know if I had an employee when I first began. But, Happenings Magazine paved the way for a larger company and evolved into an organization with ten people reaching 10 counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania,” Mackarey said. Managing editor Barbara Toolan has been working with Mackarey 17 years. Mackarey explained that they met at Marywood, never lost touch and formed a dynamic team. Mackarey’s mission is to promote the assets of the region

Teal Gilbert, Waverly, plans to spend Father’s Day with family. "I don’t need a lot of fuss, just to be able to spend the day with my wife, kids and family. ”One of the many activities Gilbert enjoys with his children is drawing with chalk.

Family FIRST Waverly Twp. dad values time spent with children By Joan Mead-Matsui Abington Journal Correspondent
T
eal Gilbert, Esq., 44, Waverly Township, may well be the epitome of the “involved” dad. And, as Father’s Day approaches, Gilbert’s plans will be in keeping with that family tradition. “I don’t need a lot of fuss, just to be able to spend the day with my wife, kids and family,” he said. “We always spend Father’s Day outside. We’ll probably go for a hike at the state park, play some Wiffle ball and soccer with the kids and have a family barbecue with my parents, (Stan and Gwynne Gilbert, South Abington Township), Rachel’s father (Robert Haftel, Waverly) and my family in the area.” Throughout the year, soccer, baseball, kickball, hiking, walks, star gazing with a telescope, drawing with chalk, and camping in the backyard are among the many activities Teal Gilbert enjoys with his children, Hannah, 11, Jake, 10, Aiden, 8 and Sadie, 6.
“We (Gilbert and wife, Rachel) are at that point in our lives where everything is kid-centered and it might be to a fault. This is the most important job we have and we’re lucky to have kids,” said Gilbert, who has coached baseball and soccer. He and Rachel are also active in a number of activities at their children’s schools and at the Waverly Community House, including the recent Playground Rebuild project. “My philosophy has always been a little different than the norm. I’d rather put the time in with the kids now and then there’s always time to work. Work is important…but maybe I have a little different mindset,” said Gilbert, sole proprietor of the Law Offices of Teal Gilbert, a legal practice that includes civil and personal injury cases. “This (parenting) is the most important job I have,” said Gilbert. “Especially now See Dad, Page 6
Becca Rose Williams, 8, says her grandpa is like a father, and he is a great grandpa because he buys Chef Boyardee and Nutella.
Troy Kester, 7, says that he loves his dad because they go places and take the four wheeler to the hunting cabin.
Appreciating Dad
As Father’s Day approaches, youngsters at Newton Ransom Elementary school discussed what they love most about their father figures. Students from the first grade class of Sherri Sickler, Amanda Schwenk and Karen Pocius shared answers. For more, see Page 15.
Christian Jones, 6, says that he loves to wrestle with his dad and brother and that he and his brother usually win.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Due to the rising costs to run high school sports programs, Abington Heights Director of Athletics and Development Jeremy Ruby plans to have four permanent back-lit signs installed in the high school gym to generate revenue. “In my mind this is the perfect place to start,” Ruby said. “We have 25-30 actual high school events, plus up to 30 additional events. There are many individuals who pass through there during the course of the year.” The four signs will cost $7,400 to install ($1,850 each) and according to Ruby, in return they will generate $11,000. “We have a great opportunity at a very reasonable price,” Ruby said. “This is a safe starting point and I’m very confident we can build on it. I believe you are going to see this more and more around Pennsylvania and in our district after we do it.” Ruby also discussed potentially expanding the signage to Comets Stadium, the track, pool and other areas in the future. “I have a dream to make big dollars for this district,” he said. “It would be great to be able to offset the expenses with matching revenues.” Board member Louise Brzuchalski suggested reaching out to local business owners who may be interested in getting involved for the “good will” of giving back to the community. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Mahon believes the formation of an Alumni Association would be another way to bring funds into the district. “I’ve been suggesting this for some time,” Mahon said. “We have no centralized coordination of our alumni or mechanism for them to donate money.” During Ruby’s first year in the position, the school won six district championships, numerous league
C.S. councilman resigns BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
CLARKS SUMMIT - At the Borough of Clarks Summit Council meeting June 6, council voted 5 to 1 to accept the resignation of former Councilman Donald Moyer. “I feel that he should stay on, and I will not accept his resignation,” said Councilman Herman Johnson. “It was over 900 people that
voted for him. If there’s 900 people in our municipality that’s voting for someone, I think that they should carry out their term, because the people have faith in him.” Council President Gerrie Carey said she is confident Moyer would do so if he was able. Councilman Roy Davis told Johnson he appreciates his stand, because he feels the

Society holds walking tours
Architecture, history and storytelling merge on the pathways of the Lackawanna Historical Society’s downtown Scranton walking tours. Held in the spring, summer and early fall months or by special request, the various tours offer differing perspectives on the foundation and growth of the city and some of its more prominent buildings and historical figures. In addition to the annual Saturday morning tours conducted by seasoned Society docents, the Society now offers custom walking tours led by Dr. R. Guy McGinnis, a retired college professor who has led tours in some of the most interesting cities in Europe and the United States. The Saturday tours encompass a three- square block area and highlight the history, design and craftsmanship of such architectural gems as the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, Scranton City Hall, the Albright Memorial Library, the Federal Courthouse and Post Office building, St. Peter’s Cathedral and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Three tours of slightly different emphasis rotate on a weekly basis. They take place June through October and depart at 11 a.m. A rotating trio of tours also is conducted on First Fridays from May through October beginning at 5 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel on Lackawanna Avenue. Dr. McGinnis guides the tours. Newly created custom tours are structured to provide learning experiences for local residents, businesses and organizations, educators, students, visitors, and representatives of Scranton and surrounding areas. The tours cover a distance of seven to eight blocks and last approximately two hours. They are available most days from noon to 6 p.m. based upon the guide’s schedule. The fee is $5 per person with a minimum of four persons and a maximum of 30. For more information, call 344.3841.

f thoughts of omelets with cheese sauce, breakfast cupcakes with fruit on top, ham and sausage gravy, all homemade, are mouth watering, a treat may be around the corner July 7 when the doors of “Bella on the Boulevard” open. The diner, located at 1959 Newton Ransom Boulevard, will be run by mother and daughter Barbara Richter and Erin Stiltenpole, both of Scranton. The business is a multi-generational effort, as many of the recipes they will serve come from Richter’s mother, Dorothy Taylor, of Scranton, who is also the restaurant’s number one taste-tester. Some other highlights from the planned menu include pasta with Grandma Taylor’s homemade spaghetti sauce, pancakes with maple syrup, breakfast cupcakes with maple syrup and bacon, fresh cut fries and a special white wine cream sauce. Richter said her mother was never one to “fake cook,” and in keeping with family tradition, all the food served at the diner will be made from scratch. Stiltenpole said the diner’s produce items will be purchased from local farmers, at least during the local harvest seasons. She and her daughter said they plan to open the diner only on weekends to start, and once school resumes in the fall, they hope to expand to Wednesdays through Sundays. Eventually, they said they will offer special buffets on Sunday afternoons. When asked how long the business project
Fun with FISH
BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent
Under mostly cloudy skies, the shoreline of Lake Eston Wilson at the Abington Area Community Park was lined with children and their families June 9, as the gentle splashing sound of fishing lines slapping the water could be heard continually from around the 13- acre lake in South Abington Township. More than 200 children were at the lake to participate in the Third Annual “Forever Young” Kids’ Fishing Derby. The derby was founded by Linda Young, Waverly, in memory of her husband, Bud Young and organized by core committee members Young said of the event, “The best part of the derby is that we have kids who are here with families who would not be spending the day together if they didn’t have something like this to do…I think the best part is seeing the looks on these kids’ faces – they’re so excited and in awe. Everybody who is on the committee…is involved because of Bud. That’s very special to me because if it weren’t for Bud, they wouldn’t be here – the connections wouldn’t remain.” According to Kester, derby committee member, 140 Blue Gills, 44 Perch, seven Calico Bass, 16 Bullheads, six Trout, one Channel Catfish were reeled in by young anglers, with a total of 173 fish measured by derby officials. Winners of prizes for the largest fish in each of the three age groups were Mike Zuzzlo, Archbald, 11-inch trout, age 5 and under; Angel Jefferson, Clarks Summit, 15 ¾-inch catfish, age 6 to 9; and Michael Wentz,

They said they started the menu planning and food tasting about seven years ago, long before they knew they would open a diner. “We’ve been training for something that we didn’t know we were training for,” Stiltenpole said. In November, 2011, they opened a catering business, Bella Dining Catering. Richter said the business did so well they soon realized they would need a kitchen. That’s where the diner came in. “Here’s where we ended up, opening a diner,” Richter said, “and it’s been a fun ride.” More information about Bella on the Boulevard can be found on the social media website Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/DinerOnTheBlvd.

AseraCare supports cancer awareness AseraCare Hospice in Clarks Summit recently made a contribution to support the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute ninth Annual C.A.S.U.A.L. (Colon cancer Awareness Saves Unlimited Adult Lives) Day, a dress down day where individuals purchase and wear awareness T-shirts and pins to spread the
word about colorectal cancer prevention and screening. The organization donated $1,000 to the cause, and all proceeds from C.A.S.U.A.L. Day support the ongoing efforts by the Cancer Institute to raise awareness about colorectal cancer risk factors and the importance of screening in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
RANSOM TWP. - At the Ransom Township Supervisors meeting, held at the Mount Dewey Community Hall June 4, Zoning Officer Bob Lukiewicz asked the supervisors if the township zoning officer prior to his tenure was the former township secretary-treasurer Kathy Zielinski. They informed him she never held that position. However, under the direction of Supervisor Dennis Macheska, Zielinski signed a building permit when there was no zoning officer. Township resident Bill Auriemma suggested to the supervisors the meeting recordings should be saved for a minimum of three years, instead of being destroyed after the minutes are produced. Township resident Helen Doty inquired as to whether the township creeks will be cleaned out soon, stating the one across from her home is in need of attention. Other residents asked about the progress of the forensic audit of township finances. Supervisors said there is no new information, and that it could take at least two to three months to complete. The police, treasurers, recycling and road reports were given.

PSWS alumnus establishes scholarships As CEO of University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio, Thomas F. Zenty III, a Northeastern Pennsylvania native, is at the forefront of the nation’s healthcare industry. Locally, he has become a benefactor to future Penn State students interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare industry by establishing two scholarships in honor of his parents, Edna and the late Thomas F. Zenty. The scholarships are designated for two of his alma maters, Lakeland High School and Penn State Worthington Scranton. The Edna and Thomas F. Zenty Health Care Scholarship at Lakeland High School was established to promote students who demonstrate an interest in, and commitment to, work in the healthcare profession upon completion of a recognized healthcare program. It is a renewable scholarship that is offered each year for full-time study at Penn State and is coordinated by the Lakeland School District. The Edna and Thomas F. Zenty Trustee Scholarship at Penn State Worthington Scranton is for students enrolled in the nursing program who have a demonstrated financial need. Zenty, originally from Jermyn, was recently named a Penn State Alumni Fellow, the most prestigious award given by the Penn State Alumni Association.

titles and had multiple student-athletes achieve personal accomplishments. “It seems to be a standard procedure here at Abington Heights,” Ruby said. “It was an exciting time around the school and district, and we’re looking for bigger and better things in the years to come.” Ruby announced that all head coaches, assistant coaches and volunteer assistants of all sports must take a PIAA mandated concussion online test. Each fall sports coach must pass this test between July 1 and August 12. Winter coaches have until Nov. 15, spring coaches have until March 3. “With all issues of concussions going on in the NFL and college sports, the PIAA is taking a major step in making sure all of our coaches throughout the state are working under the same policies and procedures,” Ruby said. Student athletes have also been involved been involved in concussion testing. According to Ruby, 90 percent of the varsity football team has already taken the ImPACT test which provides a baseline for concussion testing. Through the efforts of head football coach Joe Repshis and athletic trainer Ashley Ciabocchi, the district received a grant from Dick’s Sporting Goods for a free trial period for a year or two.
The condition of the school’s tennis courts was a topic of discussion. Mahon announced the courts are not in the district’s summer plans, but agreed they need to be resurfaced at an estimated cost between $30,000 to 50,000, possibly as soon as next summer. “It’s been something that we’ve been considering for a while,” Mahon said. “As far as a competitive high school court, it’s not very good, but I don’t see any safety concerns.” The condition of the high school pool was also discussed. “We’ve made strides, there’s no doubt about it,” Ruby said. “We’ve invested around $1,000 upgrading the equipment, including the timing system. “I think right now we’re in very good shape.” Mahon announced the district budget deficit is down to $1.8 million from $2 million at the time of the last board meeting. Mahon added that a special education teacher is retiring and will not need to be replaced. In addition, the district had been paying the NEIU $26,000 to manage the ESL English as a second language program to send children to the career center. The district staff will take on that program, eliminating the fee. The board will meet June 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Administration Building to vote on the 2012-13 budget.

in a creative manner and to educate and change behaviors. For example, getting more people involved in the arts or promoting physical fitness. “I think the difference I made was to raise the caliber of what is expected for this region. What I mean by that is people always say to me that Happenings Magazine is one of the nicest they’ve seen,” Mackarey said. Some other differences she made include instituting a flexible work schedule for those in her employ, so they can account for child care. And each semester Mackarey always invites four interns in marketing, graphic design and journalism. She works with 30 colleges and universities and claims this stems from the fact that she and Toolan met in college. When asked what is special about Happenings, Mackarey is quick to point out that the magazine attempts to reach a wide area and get people to travel…to motivate people to explore their surroundings…to participate in its community and region . “The great thing about this region is it’s small enough or close enough that you can have a hand in changing the course of the history of the region,” said Mackarey. To Mackarey’s credit, her company received Best Practice in Community Involvement from the Sage Awards from the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. She is the current chairman of the Chamber. “There is a board of directors. I’m in the leadership in that. My company is probably the smallest company who has chaired a 145-year-old organization. We’ve been involved the past 15 to 18 years,” Mackarey said. She is married to John A. Mackarey, an agent with New York Life. They have a fouryear-old daughter, Madeleine. Mackarey resides in the Green Ridge section of Scranton.

I usually let my wife sleep as much as she can and whoever is up gets breakfast and the kids going…We make sure everybody is awake and they’re ready to start their day. We try to wake the kids up relatively early so they can ease into the day. We do the same thing at night, too,” said Gilbert, who shares a philosophy with his wife, to “teach their children to know who you are, that it’s OK to be different, respect yourself and respect other people.” “We compartmentalize life and now is the time to really be involved with the kids,” said Gilbert.

planning a townhouse development on Winola Road. He said the South Abington Township Planning Commission gave conditional approval of the plans two weeks ago. He said the townhouse includes 21 units, and one of the conditions of the approval is that a sewer pass-through agreement be made with the Borough of Clarks Summit, as the sewage will travel through the Clarks Summit sewer system. Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe said, “We had informed South Abington Township that until and unless we resolve our issues with pass-throughs and direct connects, that we would allow no new connections. So obviously, that’s put Attorney Pascale in a bind, and that’s why he’s here to talk to us.” Council suggested Pascale get in touch with South Abington Township Solicitor Bill Jones. Pascale said the development project has been in the works for about two years now, and is finally at the approval stage, but if the conditions can’t be met, the company will suffer damages. “I know this isn’t a fight between the developer and the borough,” he said to Council, “it’s between you and South Abington. I’m asking Council to not punish the developer in this case.” Kehoe pointed out that although the project has been underway for about two years , the week of the meeting was the first Clarks Summit Council had heard about it. She said, to be fair to Council, the

developer can not expect to get an immediate answer to the problem on such short notice. Davis told Pascale he believes the burden of responsibility rests with South Abington Township. Another item on the agenda was the Clarks Summit Shade Tree Commission. Chairperson Donna Zagrapan, along with Chris Pfeiffer, of Harrisburg, gave a presentation about their plans and goals for planting shade trees in Clarks Summit. They said the ultimate goal is to plant 2,200 trees. This goal will be broken down into small bits year by year. Zagrapan said the commission plans to plant the trees in public, commercial and residential areas, while also educating the people on the value of them. Also present at the meeting was Attorney Mike Grab, representing TowerCo regarding the land development plan for a cell phone tower to be located on private property on North State Street. The plan gained approval at the March 7 meeting, and at the March 27 work session Grab came to Council with two problems regarding the written conditions. Suggestions resolving those problems were made at the work session, and at the
Steve Weinberger and Dr. Michael Wolk. Last year’s recipient, Jeneane Adams, presented Waverly resident, Rachel Gilbert, with the award for Volunteer of the Year. Gilbert was honored for her service as a member of the Playground Project Committee and for the countless hours she donated to provide three meals daily for the hundreds of volunteers who helped rebuild the Comm playground in August, 2011. The Annual Meeting began with the procession of the flag by the Cub Scouts of Throop #152, led by Ethan Cannella. April 4 meeting, council voted to approve those amendments to the conditions. Grab attended the June 6 meeting to ask for the removal of condition #8, which was in regard to the possible wetland status of the land, as it has since been satisfactorily determined that there is no wetland at that location. Council voted 6 to 0 in favor of removing the condition. Also discussed at the meeting was the need for new police cars and narrowband radios. Johnson said if the Borough does not acquire a new car by the end of the year, it will need at least two next year. He stressed the importance of moving forward quickly on the matter. He also said if the township does not switch over to narrowband soon, it will be in trouble when it is required. Two “thank-yous” were on the agenda: one to former Police Chief Lou Vitale for his years of dedicated service, and the other to Ernie Ciciloni, for his yearly assistance in representing the Borough in applying for the Community Development Block Grants. Other items discussed at the meeting were the correspondence, multiple resolutions to be voted on at the July 11 meeting, several reports and various local upcoming events.

Rotary Club of the Abingtons With Leah Ducato Rudolph
Rotary wins district award LAST YEAR FOR FIREWORKS??? This year’s Rotary Club of the Abingtons Fourth of July fireworks display may be the last if support for the event does not improve. Longtime show planner Ed Nuzzaci said the club lost money on the event last year and that this year’s sponsorships are almost $5,000 short of last year’s level. The show costs $16,000 to present. The Club has been organizing and presenting the show for 25 years. This year’s show will be presented at sunset June 30 at the Abington Heights Middle School on Newton-Ransom Blvd. in Clarks Summit.

Anyone interested in attending should contact Gus Vlassis or any other Rotary member. INTERACT CLUB The Abington Heights Interact Club President Faculty Advisor Adam Baker is pleased to announce our Interact Club received a “Changemaker Award” at the Rotary District 7410 banquet recently. The Changemaker Award recognizes Rotary clubs that made
an extraordinary impact during 2011-12 through their work in the Avenues of Service. Clubs are invited to undertake a challenging array of activities in each avenue, with the goal of making positive and significant change in their communities and in the world. We congratulate the Interact Club for this recognition! GABBY SHEFSKI CHECKS IN Exchange student Gabby Shefski stated, “I can’t believe I have only one month left in this country. The time will come soon to pack my bags and say goodbye, but I’m keeping myself busy until then! Exams start in one week, and the week after that I’m taking a lovely trip to Prague thanks to the Rotary. Then comes the rush of getting ready to go and finally, saying goodbye, but not farewell. I’m not quite convinced it’s nearing the end yet - I still am ready to take full advantage of the time that I have left - but at the same time, there is a bittersweet feel-
ing that’s getting stronger every day. I’ve learned many things here, and in a way it will be very hard to leave, but I can’t wait to rediscover my family, friends, and community in the United States. What consoles me every time I think about it is knowing that I’ll be back in Belgium someday soon.” Get involved! Attend a Rotary Club of the Abingtons Meeting as our guest and consider joining. Meetings are held each Thursday at 12:10 p.m., Inn at Nichols Village, Clarks Summit.

‘Elegant Corrosion’ P
hotographer Colin Winterbottom’s exhibit “Elegant Corrosion” will be on display at Steamtown National Historic Site from July 1 through October 31. Winterbottom took photos at the historic site as a study of the various kinds of corrosion that can be found on the locomotives, cars and other equipment in the rail yard. Using macro-photography camera lenses, Winterbottom has enlarged the smallest details in the decay to the point of abstraction. Isolating the textures, patterns, shapes, lines and colors from the wider context of the rail yard, the photographs take on a different quality.

Divas meet ‘Cannibals’ BY STEPHANIE ELKO Abington Journal Correspondent
Actors work in a dogeat-dog industry, whether based in Hollywood or theatre, according to Diva Theater Group director Tim Hutchins, of Scranton. And that will be illustrated in their June 22 to 30 performance of “Cannibals: In Hollywood, No One Can Hear You Scream,” a play written by R. J. Colleary. “When cannibals get hungry and everyone around you is a cannibal too, can anyone get a good night’s sleep?” actress Regina Yeager quoted
from the script of the play. Diva Theater Group will present the play Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. at The United Methodist Church of Chinchilla, 411 Layton Road. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the door or by calling the box office at 961.3855. The group is not affiliated with The United Methodist Church, and actress Paige Balitski said the group is grateful to Pastor Tony Schwartz for allowing the use of their hall. The play presents a group of aging actresses in Hollywood who have come together supin a
port group because their careers are lacking. The women meet a director, Walter, who wants to create a film about their lives and from there the story flourishes. Each character has a personality that is relatable to someone in everyday life. Linda, played by Lynne Zanolini, is the motherly type who organizes everything and brings people together.

If you’ve never been to Tunkhannock’s Riverside Park, well, you must go. It is simply a gorgeous green space right by the Susquehanna River in downtown Tunkhannock. There is a boat launch and playground, and it’s a perfect place to go walking. One of my favorite features of the park is a living willow structure. It was created in 2004 by visiting artist Bonnie Gale and her students from the Dietrich Theater. It started out as willow poles shaped into a small dome and over the years it grew into a large, lush living structure. It even survived the flood of September 2011, and morphed into more of a tunnel-like structure with the help of Bonnie Gale and some of her students. If you have any interest in gardening and landscaping, I invite you to join us at the Dietrich Theater Wednesday, June 20 at 7 p.m. for a free presentation on “The Potential of Living Willow Structures in the Landscape.” During this illustrated lecture, Gale will show the basic concepts of building living structures, her development with this work, international examples and the great potential for commercial applications. Her work has been showcased in Vogue and House and Garden, and she appeared on the Martha Stewart Show in 2010. For more information about this presentation or to reserve a seat, call the Dietrich Theater at 996.1500. In addition to the Living Willow Structures presentation, the Dietrich will be hosting a workshop on the Introduction to Stained Glass next week for adults and students ages 16 and up. Join the Dietrich’s own Esther Harmatz Monday, June 18 from 6 to 9 p.m. to learn about the first steps of working with glass to create stained glass pieces. During the class, you will learn to work with a design, cut glass, polish, foil wrap and solder. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a finished item. Admission is $60, which includes all glass supplies and equipment. The following week, June 25 through 29, the Dietrich will begin its summer camp series. Visiting artist Rand Whipple of Box of Light Theatre will be in town for the first week of camp to present Digital Arts Camp and Crazy Commercial Camp. In Crazy Commercials Camp, a fun-filled, film class, students ages nine through 14 will use their imaginations to create the craziest commercials. According to Rand, “They could develop a button that makes annoying siblings disappear or the amazing potato or the ACME instant ninja (just add water. Some side effects may occur)” As students create their own crazy products and the commercials to sell See Dietrich, Page 11

The Lackawanna County Library System has just released a schedule of events at various county attractions, such as Steamtown, the Electric City Trolley Museum and other venues that will be available free of charge to children who hold “Passports.” June events include a Children’s Day at the Lackawanna Historical Society from noon to 3 p.m. on June 23 and three days (June 25, 28 and 29) featuring the stars and the solar system at the Everhart Museum. These complimentary passports are available when children register to participate in their local library’s Summer Reading Club. Stop at the Abington Community Library for further information about the “Passport” program and news about more “Passport” events in July and August. There’s no time like the summer months to review with young children the basics of first aid, safety and, with a plentiful variety of fresh fruits and vegetables available, healthy eating. Three books from a new series, “Health and Your Body,” can be used with pre-schoolers through 2nd and 3rd graders to teach important health habits. “First Aid Basics,” by Rebecca Weber. Simple text and photographs describe in children’s language how to get help for a scraped knee, a bee sting, an insect bite or a nosebleed. It impresses on them the importance of taking care of an emergency situation when medical help is not close at hand. “Safety Basics,” by Rebecca Weber. This book spells out the basic rules for staying safe at home, at school, on a bicycle, when traveling or at a playground. It includes a sample plan for conducting a fire drill at home. The book lets children see that they can have fun without getting hurt. “MyPlate and You,” by Gillia M. Olson. MyPlate teaches people about healthy eating and how much to eat from each food group each day. The book also emphasizes through simple text and large colorful photographs that being active is part of being healthy, with an hour of activity recommended daily. The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit. Visit our website, www.lclshome.org/abington to register online for events or call the library at 570.587.3440.

DIVA
Continued from Page 10 struggle: she yearns for a life in the theater and a family life but can’t manage both. Regina Yeager took on the role of Elizabeth, an “ever –so- talented but high strung actress who is always this close to making it,” Yeager said. Elizabeth is the woman who is constantly late and believes that everything should be about her. Yeager compared the script of the play to the TV Land
sitcom “Hot in Cleveland.” She said the storyline is clever and spontaneous with rapid-fire dialogue. Mo, the doughnut diva, is a big and beautiful actress, played by Julie Orzell. She cares more about her career than her diabetes, which is at rock bottom of her priority list. “Mo is the funny and fat neighbor with the big personality,” said Orzell. She clashes with Elizabeth and the two cannot sit next to each other. Next up is Kimmi, a twentysomething invited to the group because the film’s
director thinks a bunch of “old actresses” will not sell. Mollie Dooley said her character, Kimmi, has the personality and good looks of Elle Woods from the film “Legally Blonde.” The naïve, sweet and dramatic theater student does not realize that all of the others hate her and speak to her condescendingly. She has good intentions even when she says, “I don’t know why, but I can just eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts all day and never gain an ounce.” Donna Hightower, played by Gina Zanolini, is a pre-

them, they will learn how to shoot, edit and create the allimportant sound effects for digital film. Crazy Commercials Camp will be held from10 a.m. to12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. In the afternoons from1:30 to 3:30 p.m. of that week, children ages eight to14 will also have the opportunity to experience Digital Arts Camp. As students work in groups, they will explore the arts through claymation, robotics and special effects. This camp truly allows kids’ imaginations to run wild. Plus, they learn how to use technology in order to shoot, edit and score their own short films. Admission to each camp is $60 and space is limited. Call the Dietrich today at 996.1500 for more information or to register. As you can see, the Dietrich is so much more than the movies.
The Waverly Community House, 1115 North Abington Road, has announced the formation of a one-week Summer String Camp, for beginning (at least one year experience) and intermediate (one to four years experience) violin students going into grades five through nine in Fall, 2012.

Madonna star whose shine has faded. Throughout the play she tries to cope with that fact . She has no husband, children or pets to hold her back, but now that she is getting older and jobs as an actress are harder to find, what’s left for her? The drug -induced diva? Well “Cannibals” has one of those too. Paige Balitski takes on the role of Carole, an agoraphobic actress who has not left her house in three years. Her emotions are always running on a high from anti-depression medication,
which adds an extra bit of hilarity. Rounding out the cast is Walter, a director and a, “player with a capital P,” according to Bob Balitski, the actor taking on the role. On the outside Walter is friendly and warm, but he has his own agenda and will stab anyone in the back to get his film made. This play is full of dark comedy and is meant for the 18 and older crowd. As the character Carole said, “Who needs uppers when you have ‘Cannibals?”

GLORIOUS ‘STARS AND STRIPES’
May is the month that gets Boy Scouts excited. The school year is almost over and summer vacation will soon begin. Also in a couple of weeks we will be at summer camp. This is the time of year when scouts make their plans for a weeklong trip. We pick four merit badge classes and choose our lunch time. The scouts try to choose badges that they need for advancement or some that their friends are taking. This is an important part of the trip and it is taken seriously. This past month was also the Order of the Arrow’s Ordeal campout. The Order of the Arrow, OA for short, is an honor camping society. Every year, new members are elected into the group by their fellow scouts. They must have the rank of first class, meet the required amount of campouts and be approved by their scoutmaster. Those selected are proud. To fully become an OA member, one must participate in the ordeal campout. The process is not easy. They are forced to sleep outdoors with only a tarp and a sleeping bag. The next day they must fast while working all day. All of it is done through silence. Those who complete it are rewarded with a feast and are welcomed into the brotherhood as an ordeal member. Those who previously earned the ordeal rank can become full members by earning the brotherhood

Inspired by three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30,1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson’s proclamation, it was not until August 3, 1949, that President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June14 of each year as National Flag Day.

May also included the annual Spring Camporee at Camp Acheala. This year the campout had a “Mission Impossible” theme. One interesting twist was added: It would primarily be done at night. There were 11 events spread around the camp. Troop 160 brought two patrols consisting of seven to eight scouts. Approximately 300 scouts attended and lots of patrols were formed. The patrols had to go to each rank. After being a member at the Ackerly baseball station and compete to get for 10 months they can go fields. Scouts repaired four the most points.

Football camp focuses on fun, fundamentals BY CORY BURRELL Abington Journal Correspondent
The season opener for Abington Heights High School football season is still several months away. In only a few weeks, however, Head Coach Joe Repshis and several assistant coaches and players from the football program will be on the field for another reason. The Abington Heights High School’s annual Future Comets Football Camp will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. June 24 at the Abington Heights practice fields to instruct children ages six to 14. “It’s something we really look forward to,” Repshis said. “We try to make it an environment to have fun and learn about the game of football.” Repshis said the Future Comets Football Camp has run since 2005, his first year as coach at Abington Heights. Repshis said the camp has steadily grown in popularity since its first year and averages between 75 to 100 participants. The camp focuses on teaching the basics of football while helping foster an interest in the sport, Repshis said. It is strictly non-competitive and noncontact. The coach said participants will experience several different positions to help them understand the game from a number of angles. Repshis said the camp also stresses fundamentals and proper form to reduce the risk of injury later in a player’s career. “We really focus on the experience levels of the individuals while teaching basic skills and techniques,” Repshis said. “It helps keep them healthy on the field and interested so they can experience success in the future.” Repshis said the event is enjoyed not only by camp participants but also the camp coaches. Repshis said several assistant coaches as well as current and former Abington Heights players, including some who play at the collegiate level, help at the camp and play a large role in coaching. “The coaches are there to organize, but the players do a lot of the instructing as well,” Repshis said. Repshis said the camp helps build relationships with potential future Abington Heights players as well as the relationship between the current Comets players and coaches. “It’s a fun day and a great way to have the whole team on See Camp, Page 14

C.S. resident to race in Super Cup Stock Car Series Clarks Summit resident Jerry Tunney has received approval to compete in the Super Cup Stock Car Series at Motordrome Speedway June 15 by the sanctioning body of the series. Tunney will be piloting the LaCross Motorsports Chevy Monte
Carlo on the historic halfmile oval. The race will be the first for Tunney in a National Touring Series. The races will be tape delayed and broadcasted to approximately 55 million homes Saturday nights at 8 p.m. on Untamed Sports
TV. The races will also be replayed five more times the following week. “I look forward to racing with LaCross Motorsports in the SCSCS this year,” Tunney said. “This will be a huge opportunity to advance my racing career.”
Tunney will need to conquer a few challenges to do well however. The car he will be racing is a full blown, 625 horsepower, 3,400- pound stock car. “The car will drive more differently than anything I have ever driven,” Tunney said.
CLARKS SUMMIT- For anyone looking to get in shape and make some new friends along the way, The National Running Center (NRC), 318 Davis St. Clarks Summit, is starting a weekly Summer Group Run. Run will begin each Thursday at 6 p.m. at the National Running Center, starting June 14. Runners will split into groups by pace and distance. There will be three courses offered: a three -mile beginner run ( pace 10-11 minute miles), a five mile moderate run (9-10 minute miles), and an eight mile moderate to advanced run ( 6-9 minute miles). Runners are also welcome to modify a pace and/or distance to accommodate their own training schedule. Also, runners can form their own groups. All group runs will have a group leader to make sure no one gets lost. National Running Center will also provide maps for the run. National Running Center staff member Rob Ahrens believes there are advantages to running in groups. “Having other people to run with and talk to helps the miles go faster,” said Ahrens, who is also the Abington Heights High School Cross Country coach. “It also gives you a sense of accountability when other people are meeting to run with you.” The group will provide the opportunity to meet local runners. There will be homebaked goods and drinks provided after each run and a Mizuno sales representative will bring shoes for runners to test. “It’s a fun community event,” National Running Center staff member Crystal Page said. “It’s fun to socialize with the other runners.” According to Page, there See Run, Page 14

The Tampa Bay Rays selected Lackawanna College’s Chris Kirsch in the fourteenth round of the 2012 Major League Player Draft. It is the fourth consecutive year that a Falcon has been selected in the annual event. This year, Kirsch recorded a 10-1 record while recording a 1.80 ERA. He allowed 38 hits in 70 innings; and struck out 101 while relinquishing only 35 walks. In addition to his selection in the amateur draft, his 2012 performance earned him a spot on the Region XIX Division II All Region Team and his choice as the Region’s “Player of the Year.� This is the third time that Kirsch has been drafted. In 2010, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates after his graduation from high school, and again last year in his first season with Lackawanna, he was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. Other Lackawanna players previously drafted were Chris Sedon, a 2009 ninth round selection of the Detroit Tigers, and Dan Winnie, the sixteenth round pick of the Atlanta Braves in 2010.
