Ray of sunshine. Team player.
These are just a few of the words
Karen Hoyts co-workers at Lacka-
wanna Valley Dermatology Associ-
ates, Limited used to describe their
friend.
The South Abington Township
wife and mom of three died May 24
after a crash on the McDade Ex-
pressway.
Karens face always lit up when
she shared stories or accomplish-
ments 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 ODonnell.
According to Colombo, Hoyt wel-
comed 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. I
will miss our talks about our children
and our Abington Heights communi-

CLARKS SUMMIT - At
the Borough of Clarks
Summit Council work ses-
sion May 29, Don Wy-
deen, of Glenburn and his
daughter Gretchen Wy-
deen, owner a consign-
ment tack shop , request-
ed a Curative Amendment
to change the zoning for
a property they are at-
tempting to purchase on
Lackawanna Trail Road.
Don Wydeen explained
the plan is to expand Di-
vine Equine and redesign
the building, possibly add-
ing an apartment on the
top floor. He said the
current MI zone, which is
a manufacturing-type
zone, doesnt allow for
that use and he is re-
questing it to be changed
to a CC zone.
Council member Herman
Johnson expressed con-
cerns with the property,
regarding safety and park-
ing.
It was noted that for
the development of the
property, the business will
first have to go through
the Clarks Summit Plan-
ning Commission, who
will then forward a rec-
ommendation 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 Vir-
ginia Kehoe said the ear-
liest the matter can be
put on the agenda for
consideration of a vote is
July 11. Council deter-
mined to look into the
request and discuss it fur-
ther.
Council honored photog-
rapher Jay Walter and
thanked him for photog-
raphy services over the
past 20 years.
Walter said, Its been a
lot of fun over the years.
Ive 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.

lthough he retired April 30,
Clarks Green resident Louis
Vitale Jr. may still take notice
of drivers who commit traffic vio-
lations, so residents should beware.
Throughout his career in law enforce-
ment, Vitale has been accused by his
family of driving as though he were
on patrol.
Its a whole different world when
you dont 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 be-
gan 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
Career of service comes to close

ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
Retired Clarks Summit police chief, Louis
Vitale, Jr., said, Ive really enjoyed dealing
with the people in Clarks Summit. Ive 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.
Vitales last day on the job was April 30.

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 Lacka-
wanna 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

for the people there was that if a

Amosquito tested positive for
the virus about two months
earlier than Lackawanna Coun-
ty has seen in previous years,
according to Herman Johnson,
Borough of Clarks Summit
Emergency Management Coor-
dinator. West Nile virus is a
potentially serious illness, and
experts believe the virus is es-
tablished 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 ingre-
dient. Followthe directions on
the package.
Many mosquitoes are most
active at duskanddawn. 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 onwindows anddoors
to keep mosquitoes out
Get ridof mosquito breed-
ing sites by emptying standing
water fromflower 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 childrens wading
pools empty and on their sides
when they arent being used.
Symptoms:
The severe symptoms can
include: high fever, headache,
neck stiffness, stupor, disorien-
tation, coma tremors, convul-
sions, muscle weakness, vision
loss, numbness and paralysis.
These symptoms may last sever-
al weeks, and neurological ef-
fects may be permanent.Milder
symptoms include: fever, head-
ache, and body aches, nausea,
vomiting, and sometimes swol-
len 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 showany
symptoms at all. Johnson said
the virus spreads in various
ways that do not include touch-
ing another person. Most often,
the virus is spread by the bite of
an infected mosquito. Mosqui-
toes become infected when they
feed on infected birds. Infected
mosquitoes can then spread the
virus to humans and other ani-
mals when they bite. In a very
small number of cases, the virus
also has been spread through
blood transfusions, organ trans-
plants, breastfeeding and even
during pregnancy frommother
to baby.
Johnson said people typically
develop symptoms between 3
and14 days after they are bitten
by the infected mosquito. There
is no specific treatment for the
virus infection. In cases with
milder symptoms, people expe-
rience 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 fromthe virus, such as
unusually severe headaches or
confusion, you should seek
medical attention immediately.
Severe illness usually requires
hospitalization.
West Nile virus test positive
As schools prepare to empty
out for the summer, Lackawan-
na County libraries eagerly
anticipate a flood of children
who will sign up for the annual
Summer Reading Clubs. Ac-
cording to Mary Garm, Lacka-
wanna 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 ex-
poses themto worlds beyond
their own.
Summer reading clubs have
been a tradition at libraries for
generations.
Studies showthat 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 dur-
ing the summer. Garmstressed
that participation in reading
clubs and associated activities is
free and that anyone between
ages 6 and12 can join.
There are fewactivities for
children that are as close to
home and are totally free, said
Garm. We expect brisk busi-
ness this year.
In addition to library-based
activities, reading club mem-
bers receive a passport that
entitles themto free admission
at the Electric City Trolley Mu-
seum, Lackawanna Coal Mine
Tour, Steamtown National His-
toric Site, the Everhart and
Pennsylvania Anthracite Heri-
tage museums, the Lackawanna
Historical Society, and tours of
the Scranton Cultural Center.
Summer Reading Club regis-
tration starts June11at all Lack-
awanna County libraries. The
clubs run until August 3. Pass-
ports will be valid until August
31.

This years Rotary Club of
the Abingtons Fourth of July
fireworks display may be the
last if support for the event
does not improve.
For the last seven years, the
firework planning committee
has consisted of Rotary
members Ed Nuzzaci, Chuck
Parry and Steve Selige
Nuzzaci said the club lost
money on the event last year
and that this years sponsor-
ships are almost $5,000 short
of last years level. The show
costs $16,000 to present.
The club doesnt present
the show to make
money, but we cant
lose money on it
either, Nuzzaci said.
The support we
receive from the
community is not
keeping up with the
rising cost of of-
fering the show and
Im concerned that
next year Fourth of
July in the Abingtons
may come without
fireworks.
The Rotary Club of
the Abingtons has
been organizing and
presenting the show
for 25 years. This years
show will be presented at
sunset June 30 at the Abing-
ton Heights Middle School.
The rain date is July 1.
Nuzzaci said his principal
concern is in revenues
pledged to the annual
Friends of the Rotary
sponsorship campaign. The
campaign each year seeks
sponsorships from local busi-
nesses and municipalities.
Last years campaign brought
in $6,600, down from $9,400
in 2010. With just under one
month left before this years
show, the Friends of the Ro-
tary fundraiser is almost
$5,000 behind last years
contributions.
Some of the businesses
that supported us in the past
are no longer in operation
and others are no longer
based in our community,
Nuzzaci said. A number of
municipalities in the Abing-
tons have cut back on their
support of our event and all
of this is threatening this
great community tradition.
Keep in mind that the
shows $16,000 price tag
does not include the Rotary
volunteer hours that make
the fireworks possible, Nuz-
zaci said. That work would
need to be factored into a
revived fireworks show if
community support cant
sustain what the Rotary has
been doing for the last 25
years.
Rotarys not sitting back,
Nuzzaci said. Weve ex-
panded our solicitation for
the support of local busi-
nesses and government.
Were also organizing a plan
to raise more funds at the
show.
Nuzzaci said the Rotary
Club will seek donations
from people who walk to the
show and who view the show
from locations away from the
middle school. He said Ro-
tary is reaching out to munic-
ipalities who have contrib-
uted in the past.
Revenue from parking
and novelty sales has been
steady at about $6,700,
Nuzzaci said. We dont want
to increase the $3 parking
fee, but if a carload of guests
wants to make an
additional donation, it
will be gladly accept-
ed. People who walk
to the show or watch
from other locations
can support us too.
They can give their
donations to our park-
ing attendants or look
for clearly identified
Rotary volunteers
soliciting donations or
send their contribu-
tions in advance.
Nuzzaci said show
contributions may be
made payable to the
Rotary Club of the
Abingtons and mailed to the
club at PO Box 392, Clarks
Summit, PA 18411.
In years when show reve-
nues have exceeded expens-
es, Nuzzaci said earnings
have been returned directly
to the community in the form
of scholarships and grants,
support for Boy Scout Troop
160, support of youth athlet-
ics and programs in the
Abington Heights School
District, distribution of dic-
tionaries to all third graders
being educated in the Abing-
tons, and support of an in-
ternational student exchange
program that has helped
Abington Heights students
study all over the world and
brought students from around
the world to our community.

Anumber of business groups
exist in the area. One recently-
created group has decided to
focus on the effect they can have
on the community. .
The Northeast Pennsylvania
Business Alliance Group has
selected the first charity, Mar-
leys Mission, it will donate to in
order to begin the organizations
goal of helping the community.
NEPABAGwas the idea of
Robert Scott, managing partner
of CoachFirmand president of
the alliance. Scott said the
group was created two months
ago as a way to involve local
businesses such as his own with
the needs of the area.
We always felt as a group of
friends and as a group of profes-
sionals that since the communi-
ty gives us so much it would be
great to give back, and because
of the recession there would be
a dire need for more charitable
donations, Scott said.
Scott said the group runs on
the philosophy of charity, busi-
ness and life to help benefit the
groups members as well as
others.
The number one goal of the
group is charity, Scott said.
The number two goal is to help
build each others businesses
through business information
and leads. The third goal is
more life, which is going to be
about building relations in the
group.
Scott said Marleys Mission, a
non-profit organization that
provides free equine-based
therapy to children who have
experienced trauma, was cho-
sen as the first charity the alli-
ance will support after Eugene
Talerico, president of the board
of Marleys Mission, spoke
about its history and mission of
at a meeting of alliance mem-
bers.
Scott said Talericos story led
to the group voting to participa-
te in the NEPAMiners charity
event supporting Marleys Mis-
sion June 23.
In addition to Marleys Mis-
sion, the alliance has also decid-
ed to support Scranton Police
K9 Unit Aug. 18.
According to a statement
fromthe alliance, the group will
sponsor four charitable events
each year and every member is
required to participate in at least
two. In addition, every member
will be chosen on a monthly
basis to donate to a charity of
their choice in the formof time,
money or a combination of the
two.
I think its important for
every business owner to give
back to the community, Scott
said. NEPABAGis one way of
doing it. Weve joined together
with the fellowowners to take a
personal interest, not only mon-
etarily, but with time and energy
as well, in the charities.
The group meets every Friday
morning from7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
at the Holiday Inn Express at
Dickson City. For more in-
formation, contact Chris Scarla-
ta at 570.687.1181.

For the second year in a
row, recipients of the Na-
tional Security Language
Initiative Scholarship for
Youth have come fromAmy
Wojciks 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 RansomTownship
and Megan Fellows, daugh-
ter of Patrick and Patricia
Fellows of Waverly Town-
ship will be packing their
bags for the beginning of
their journey June 21. Last
years winner was Jacob
Fitzpatrick. It is not neces-
sary to have foreign lan-
guage skills for this scholar-
ship, but Henry and Fellows,
both seniors in the fall, al-
ready have a fewyears be-
hind them.
I have bouts of nerv-
ousness all the time, but I
keep on telling myself that
this is going to be a great
learning and cultural experi-
ence. I have to tell myself to
calmdown. Imnot in Rus-
sia 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. Fel-
lows will live in one of the
oldest cities in Russia, Nizh-
niy 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 programen-
courages immersion in the
language that participants
are studying; students are
told to speak English only
when talking with friends
and family fromhome.
I think it is very impor-
tant to get experience
[studying abroad and learn-
ing a language] because you
become more open minded.
I think about grammar more
and my English has im-
proved significantly because
of it, Henry said.
The classes in which
Henry and Fellows are en-
rolled will be taught com-
pletely in Russian. They will
spend four hours each day,
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 dreamto 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 Education-
al 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 Rus-
sian teacher, Wojcik, discov-
ered 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 Russian-
speaking contest, and two
gold medals for the essay
contest. Fellows won two
gold medals at the Olympia-
da and one bronze for the
essay contest.

On June 8, as the United
States Supreme Court pre-
pares to issue its ruling on the
constitutionality of the Affor-
dable Care Act , concerned
citizens will take to the Scran-
ton streets to voice public
opposition to the Obama ad-
ministrations Health and Hu-
man Services Mandate. The
HHS Mandate forces all em-
ployersincluding Catholic
schools and hospitalsto
provide free contraceptives,
surgical sterilizations and
abortion-inducing drugs
through their health plans,
regardless of religious or mor-
al convictions.
The Scranton Stand Up for
Religious Freedom Rally will
begin at noon across from the
William J. Nealon Bldg., 235
N. Washington Ave., Cour-
thouse 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 unconstitu-
tional, we must ensure that
religious freedom will be
protected in subsequent health
care legislation, said Haas.
But if Obamacare is not
struck down, well be sending
the federal government a clear
message that the faith-based
institutions and private busi-
nesses affected by the HHS
Mandate here in Scranton will
not violate their consciences
by complying with it.

ty. She was always there to
give me advice and support. I
was so blessed to have Karen
in my life...she touched my
heart and not a day will go by
that I wont 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 librar-
ians aide at the Clarks Sum-
mit and Waverly Elementary
Schools, and directed the 100-
book challenge.
She worked very well with
the staff of both schools and
was a very positive and pleas-
ant person, Waverly and
Clarks Summit Elementary
School Principal Steven Aqui-
lina 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 Ele-
mentary School Parent-Teach-
er Association for many years.
And the graduate of Keystone
Junior College, who also at-
tended the University of
Scranton, was active in many
community activities, includ-
ing 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 childrens athletic accom-
plishments, including daughter
Jordans 2010 PIAA gold med-
al in the 200-meter dash; her
daughter Laurens success as a
point guard for the Lady
Comets basketball team and
her son Matts accomplish-
ments on the soccer field.
She was extremely support-
ive of her children, Abington
Heights head soccer coach
Steve Klingman said. Ive
coached Matt from middle
school all the way up to high
school. He is a great kid and a
really hard- working player.
Im sure his parents have had
an influence on him.
Several former co-workers
of Karen shared some of their
fondest memories.
Dr. Gregg Severs, adminis-
trative physician, echoed the
sentiments of the more than 40
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 amaz-
ing person as well, Severs
said. To say that our office is
devastated by Karens tragic
death is an extreme under-
statement. She was such a
positive person that it made us
all better for having known
her. She had an infectious
smile and certainly wasnt
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, Ka-
ren also loved talking about
her dog, Izzy, that she loved so
much.
Another co-worker de-
scribed Hoyt as someone you
could count on.
Karen would always say
Ive 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 funer-
al 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-in-
law, 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 ex-
press, said co-worker Dr.
Severs. To lose someone like
Karen is devastating to our
whole community. She tou-
ched so many lives, and we
know that she will always be
with us.

-given talent and I think
mine was to generally make
good sound decisions in
very stressful situations.
That was my gift.
For more than 30 years he
enforced the boroughs crim-
inal statutes, motor vehicle
laws and borough ordinanc-
es and performed patrol,
investigative and first re-
sponder duties. Among his
many accomplishments and
career commendations are
recognition for the appre-
hension of an armed-rob-
bery suspect following a
multi-jurisdiction car chase
and foot pursuit in 1988; a
mayoral commendation for
the peaceful and speedy
resolution of a heated do-
mestic situation involving
four individuals and an unli-
censed firearm, 1995; a Citi-
zens Award, Bureau of Po-
lice Clarks Summit, in ap-
preciation and recognition
of assistance in support of
law enforcement, 1977; and
a Special Commendation
Certificate, Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania Office of
Attorney General for out-
standing service as a mem-
ber of the Attorney Gener-
als Municipal Drug Task
Force.
It (police work) is not the
same thing every day. I real-
ly liked the variety in this
job. I dont know that I
would have been as happy in
a job with a narrow scope,
said Vitale.
As a patrolman, he per-
formed general duty police
work enforcing laws and
ordinances and responded to
a variety of emergency calls,
investigated complaints, and
apprehended criminals. As
police chief, he managed a
staff of 12 employees in-
cluding four full- time offi-
cers, seven part-time offi-
cers 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,
its a quasi-political posi-
tion. Youre in the mid-
dleThe 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
youre there (at the meet-
ings) you can be under di-
rect fire. Its different than
being a patrolman, especial-
ly when youre in a small
department,Vitale said.
Youre 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 indi-
viduals 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, Ive really enjoyed
dealing with the people in
Clarks Summit. Ive 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.

Losing great men and women is the price every country knows it will have to pay when en-
tering war and its the price Scranton paid March 23, 1967.
At age 19, United States Marine Lance Cpl. James Jimmy Reddington was killed in battle
while serving in the Vietnam War.
The Friends of Jimmy Reddington, Friends of the Forgotten, Marine Corps League Northeast
Detachment and members of the community gathered at Cathedral Cemetery in Scranton May
23, for a ceremony to honor Reddington for making the ultimate sacrifice.
The ceremonies are a regular event for The Friends of Jimmy Reddington, who visit the gra-
vesite about four times a year-March 23, around Christmas, Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
On hand to honor United States Marine Lance Cpl. James Reddington are, shown from left,

Tunkhannocks 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, deli-
cious food and unique vendors
and shops in downtown Tunk-
hannock. It is not too early to
mark your calendars for this
summer celebration. The Die-
trich 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 Dietrichs new
exhibit The Many Expres-
sions 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, expres-
sion, utility, community, indi-
viduality and symbolism.
During this exhibit we will
also display works painted by
students in the Dietrichs Dec-
orative 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 dur-
ing regularly scheduled movie
times or by appointment.
The Dietrich Childrens
Theatre will also be back with
a new production for Foun-
ders 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 Hu-
manities Council. Tickets are
available by calling 996.1500
or at the door while supplies
last.
The Dietrich will also pre-
sent Poe in the Park at Tunk-
hannocks Lazybrook Park on

p.m. During this theatrical

A
rtist Jessica Small-
wood has made a
splash in the local art
scene with her mixed media
approach and striking imag-
ery.
As for her method, Small-
wood applies primarily a
mixture of spray paint,
acrylic and a likely-toxic
combination of other chem-
icals to her canvases to
achieve the effects she desir-
es. She likes to paint on a
variety of surfaces, ranging
fromplywood boards to
handmade canvases.
But Imnot opposed to
painting on/with anything
that just looks cool, she
said.
Fresh off of being named
the regions 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 fewart
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
NEPAart firmament.
Her work has adorned the
walls at Kildares Irish Pub
as part of Scranton First
Friday art series. Addition-
ally, one of her pieces, titled
The Beginning, was se-
lected for inclusion in the
Wyoming Valley Art
Leagues 2011Juried Show.
The work showcased Small-
woods ability to imbue her
pieces with symbolism.
The figure faces the
bright, warmfuture and is
ready to rise above the mi-
sery and painthe wings,
even though theyre only
bare bones, have a certain
hopeful quality, that perhaps
one day theyll be fleshed
out and feathered, the de-
scription of The Begin-
ning 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 friendsand 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
Smallwoods artwork. His
interest piqued, Charles-
worth asked Smallwood to
email himphotographs of
her work, she said.
He was gracious enough
to give me the spot, and here
we are, she said.
In addition to her exhibi-
tions, Smallwood offers
private art lessons and
teaches a fewpainting class-
es at Jo-Ann Fabrics in
Dickson City.
As for the future, Small-
wood said she can defin-
itively say that she is not
sure whats next. She does
knowthat she wants to
continue painting and ex-
hibiting her work as well as
broaden her teaching expe-
rience.
Although she teaches
classes and has garnered
attention for her art, Small-
wood said that fundamen-
tally she creates art for its
therapeutic value.
I just find it to be some-
thing that helps me sort
through the muck of life, so
I do it, she said.
In addition to Small-
woods exhibition at Angels
Galeria, other venues will
host work of local artists for
the enjoyment of the com-
munity.
The venues this month
include: Steve Pronko Jew-
elry, Lawlers Affordable
Elegance, Sunrise Cafe,
Aggies Bridal, Duffys
Coffee House, Sonias Con-
temporary Clothing, Pau-
lettes Pretty Purses, Beta
Bread, Edward Jones, Chloe
and Company, Everything
Natural, Sole to Soul and
MonogramMuse. One
notable event this month is
the Argentine tango demon-
strations and dancing that
will take place in the Clarks
Summit Borough Hall by
NEPATango Connection.
The art walk begins at 5
and concludes at 9 p.m.
Jessica Smallwoods painting "Water Lilies" will be on display at Angels Galeria as part of her
exhibition,"Heavy."
Splash of symbolism
BY GERARD E. NOLAN
Emerging country star,
Coy Taylor, and local fa-
vorite, Erica Leigh, will
perform at the Wyoming
County Fairgrounds
(Route 6, Meshoppen)
June 16 at 7 p.m. to ben-
efit The Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society of
Eastern Pennsylvania.
Taylor and Leigh hope
that through their music,
they can raise awareness
and support for The Leu-
kemia & Lymphoma So-
ciety. Leigh lost her sis-
ter, Tammi Lynn Jervis
Reeves, to acute lympho-
blastic leukemia (ALL)
almost 22 years ago.
Nearly a year later, her
other sister, Melissa Ann
Vitek, was diagnosed with
Hodgkins lymphoma. Vi-
tek has beaten her cancer
and has been a survivor
for 21 years. She is cur-
rently living in Hunting-
don Valley with her hus-
band, Andy, and their two
sons, Alex and Drew. She
is an optometrist and re-
cently 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 bands
original members will per-
form, including Steve Ma-
ruzelli on vocals and gui-
tar, Thom Kotch on lead
guitar, Ron Reeves, who
was married to Leighs
sister, Tammi Lynn Jervis
Reeves, on bass guitar,
Scott Webber on drums,
and Wayne (Gus) Gozi-
kowski on keyboards.
It is important to un-
derstand the challenges
that cancer brings on a
person and their loved
ones, said Taylor. We
want to focus on the posi-
tive, 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 en-
joy sitting in the first
three rows as well as
backstage passes and a
chance to meet the per-
formers.
Those who are unable to
attend the concert can
donate to The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society by
calling the Eastern Penn-
sylvania chapter at

The Performing Arts Institutes Symphony Orchestra is one of several musical groups that present free per-
formances to the public.
Beth Shaw, Newton Ran-
som 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 childs edu-
cation. How thankful we are
that Abington Heights still
believes in nurturing the
whole child.
Destination West is
rooted in the schools 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 perform-
ers in the show, with help
from second and third grad-
ers.
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 age-
appropriate, and that the
children would enjoy. Once
the script, songs, and danc-
es are decided upon, the
show begins to come togeth-
er, and we all get very ex-
cited about the process,
Shaw said.
Mark Montella, percus-
sionist, NEIU rostered artist
and Wanabees band mem-
ber, provided musical ac-
companiment.
The show really isnt
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 chil-
dren are singing. You may
tap your toe or know the
song Shenandoah, but its
all about the children sing-
ing.
Scranton Civic Ballet
Company instructor, Meg
Trelease, was choreogra-
pher. According to Kame-
roski, Trelease set parts of
the show to dance. Among
those who gave their time
and talents to this years
show were 4th grade teach-
ers, Kameroski, Brian Sas-
lo, Johanna Wise and Hilary
Frear; Julie Cordaro 4th
grade aide and second and
third grade teacher; Tre-
lease, choreographer; Shaw,
musical director; Jack
McGuigan, resident poet;
Dena Maciak, art and stage
designer; Mary Kay Kuzma,
violinist; and Montella, per-
cussionist.
Mr. Robert Bugno is
very important to this pro-
gram. As the head adminis-
trator at Newton- Ransom
Elementary, his support and
guidance has been instru-
mental 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, Kame-
roski 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.

SCRANTON Lacka-
wanna Trails baseball
team and its seniors, in
particular had seen
enough of Old Forges
dominance of the Dis-
trict 2 Class A tourna-
ment.
This has been a long
time coming, Lacka-
wanna Trail coach Todd
Peters said after the Li-
ons added on to a five-
run first inning on their
way to an 11-5 victory
that ended Old Forges
streak of championships
at five in the May 30
district championship
game at Marywood Uni-
versity. We talked about
it. These guys worked
hard for this.
Three years in a row,
they got us. The seniors
here kind of took that
personally.
Seniors Vic Rosa,
Steve Miller and Matt
Aten joined junior Caleb
Darling in driving in two
runs each to lead a Lack-
awanna Trail offense that
produced nine hits while
taking advantage of eight
walks and three Old
Forge errors.
The younger players
also understood the sig-
nificance of knocking off
the Blue Devils.
We worked hard all
year, said sophomore
winning pitcher Matt
Flynn, who held Old
Forge scoreless from the
second through sixth
innings. Weve gotten
beat by these guys the
last (three) years.
It feels good to beat
them.
Since Lackawanna
Trail returned from Class
AA in 2009, a Lions-
Blue Devils final has
practically been a given.
The two small school
powers have reached the
final by beating the other
Class A teams during
that time by a combined
margin of 134-36 in 11
games.
Old Forge won the
2009 title game, 9-5;
took the rematch in
2010, 1-0; then beat the
top-seeded Lions, 8-3,
last season.
This year, the Lions
held up as the top seed.

EDWARDSVILLE- Lake-
land showed the heart of a
champion Wednesday, but was
relegated to silver medals.
The No. 4 seed Chiefs were
defeated in the District 2 Class
2Asoftball championship by
No. 3 seed Nanticoke 2-1in
eight innings at Wilkes Ralston
Athletic Complex.
Seven of these girls are
seniors, so this is a hard one to
swallow, said Lakeland coach
Brian Wagner, who had the
Chiefs playing for a district title
for the first time since 2007.
The game went down to the
final pitch, as Chiefs pitcher
Alissa Steier allowed just three
hits to the hot-hitting Trojans
between the first and last in-
nings.
The defense behind her was
very strong as well, as right
fielder Katie Holt threwout a
Nanticoke batter at first on what
would have been a single to end
the second inning. Second
baseman Morgan Sederovitz
pulled down a couple of pop-
ups in the third inning, and
outfielders SamAmorine in left
and Dana Prudente in center
both made big catches on fly
balls.
Held off the scoreboard with
possibly five outs remaining in
their season, the Chiefs came
through to erase a1-0 deficit in
the sixth inning.
Amorine deposited a1-0
pitch by Nanticokes Hannah
Rubasky into left field for La-
kelands third hit of the day.
Prudente then placed a perfect
sacrifice bunt to move Amorine
into scoring position.
With two hits in the game
already, shortstop Allison Kra-
ky stepped to the plate. She
lifted a1-2 pitch just over the
outstretched armof Nanticoke
third baseman Maggie Gola
and into left field. Amorine
aggressively rounded third and
slid into home with the tying
run, getting in safely before the
throwfromNanticoke shortstop
Sammy Gowarrived at home
plate.
She played a phenomenal
game, Wagner said of Kraky.

uniformby becoming the first
ever baseball player to earn an
All-Region selection.
Selected as the Pacers 2012

tential clinching run in
scoring position in both
the fifth and sixth in-
nings before Old Forge
scored three times in the
seventh.
Aten relieved Flynn
and got the final two

I give our kids cred-
it, DiMattia said. Any

have been a 10-run game
and we would have been
back on the bus early.

to Old Forge early.
Blue Devils starting
pitcher David Chromey

ters, then retired the
next two.
Five straight Lions

with a sacrifice and a
walk. Aten and Peter
Murazzi also had two
hits for the Lions, who

The NEPA Miners, a mem-
ber 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 re-
cords for quarterbacks with
2,717 yards and 42 touch-
downs. Davis ran the option at
Rhode Island, but looks for-
ward to showcasing his ability
to throw the ball in the Miners
offense.
The Miners recently lost East
Stroudsburg University gradu-
ate Ray Wagner to the Porvoo
Butchers, one of the most suc-
cessful franchises at Finlands
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 streng-
thens a competitive quarterback
position with first-year Miner
Joe Piazza performing well in
the teams first scrimmage and
the athletic Javaun Barnett who
previously played with the
semi-pro Electric City Char-
gers.

sibility of hiring new

Were just so
grateful for all
theyve done for
our community.
Clarks Summit Borough Council
President Gerrie Carey
Regarding area Eagle Scouts
bridge, the county will clear a
certain amount of feet on each
side. He said he would check
into the matter further.
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
worry about.
Macheska said at the begin-
ning of the meeting that the
township hired Marx Account-
ing and Forensic Services to
complete the forensic audit of
townships financial records for
the period between January 1,
2007 through March 17, 2012.
Solicitor Edmund Scacchitti
said the audit is now in pro-
gress, and Macheska added that
it is expected to take two to
three months to complete.
The forensic audit was re-
quested by Pa. State Police,
following the resignation of
former Ransom Township sec-
retary-treasurer Kathy Zielinski
March 19 after irregularities
were found during an audit of
the township finances, accord-
ing to Scacchitti.
Bird gave the road report,
saying the road crew began
mowing along the roadsand
they may hold a meeting soon
to get the bids out for the road
work. He said he plans on doing
Sekol Avenue and Evergreen
Drive.
The road crew is also looking
into a problem on Ledge Drive,
where the bank is sliding, Bird
said. And the township is meet-
ing with the engineer and con-
tractor this week to get an idea
of what it will cost to fix it.
Notari also gave supervisors
information regarding events
and county news, such as River-
Fest, a canoe-a-thon, the new
voter ID law, the Heritage Ex-
plorer Bike Tour, the June 23
Tobyhanna Open House, Scran-
tastic Spectacular, the economic
impact of the new baseball deal,
the countys recycling contract
and a countywide auction in
August.
