FARMERS MARKET OFFERS TREATS
You say tomato, they say come and get em. The West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood
Watch and the Hyde Park Community Garden are hosting a weekly farmers arket in Allen
Park, which kicked off Sept. 4. Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster said the inau-
gural night attracted "a lot of positive feedback and a lot of pedestrian traffic," including
from people who were surprised to see vendors tables bedecked with colorful fruits and
vegetables. Allen Park, at Main Avenue and Price Street, will host the market from 4 p.m.
to dusk on Tuesdays through September and October. The market was created in coper-
ation with the merchants who participate with the South Side Farmers Market held at the
Historic Furnaces. Foster said all merchants is from local farms and businesses and all
items for sale are produced or grown in Northeast Pennsylvania. This Tuesday should
bring out an additional six to eight vendors, she added. "We hope just to give folks an
opportunity to get farm-fresh vegetables," Foster said. For more information on the mar-
ket, visit its Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/West-Side-Farmers-Mar-

LDFORGEHannahSumera-
no was ready for the first day of
kindergarten. Book bag?
Check. Supplies? Check.
Two parents on hand for this
bittersweet moment? Double check. This is
a big deal for us, Christen Sumerano said as
she and husband Michael waited with their
daughter and other families in the lobby of Old
Forge Elementary on Thursday morning, Sept.
6. Shes excited, Mrs. Sumerano said.
Indeed, the color and
sounds and constant mo-
tion of the first day of
school already were run-
ning at full tilt as the kin-
dergartners and their fam-
ilies waited their turn
shortly before 9 a.m.
For Hannah -- already
showing her school spirit
with blue and gold hair rib-
bons -- there was an addi-
tional new challenge: an-
swering questions for a
newspaper reporter. After
a few hesitant nods, the
routine came naturally.
Five and a half, Han-
nah declared confidently
when asked her age. And
although this was her first
day, she already expected
to see some friends in her
new class, quickly rattling
off a few names.
I think shes more excit-
ed than we are, her mom
added.
That excitement was
shared by Principal Nicole

Every night, that was the signal for ev-

Drunk, highand, by her ownad-
mission, flying like a bat out of
hell.
Thats how a police affidavit de-
scribes the conduct of a Taylor
womanfacingmurder charges ina
July 21 crash that left two other
borough residents dead after she
collided with their Ford Focus at
nearly 96 miles per hour.
And, police allege, Sherry Hub-
ert, 45, admitted she had driven
up Oak Street at a high rate of
speed that afternoon trying to
jump the hills and do belly flop-
pers at the request of three juve-
nile passengers.
KimSmith, 48, was pronounced
dead at the scene. Lydia Riley, 58,
diedof her injuries July 27 at Geis-
inger Community Medical Cen-
ter.
Hubert, of 143 Village Drive,
was arraigned Saturday on 24
counts, including two counts each
of third-degree murder and hom-
icide by vehicle while driving un-
der the influence. She was com-
mitted to Lackawanna County
Prison, where she remained late
last week in lieu of $50,000 bail. A
preliminary hearing is set for
Tuesday, Sept. 10.
According to the affidavit filed
by Taylor Police, Huberts driving
privileges were suspended at the
time of the accident due to a previ-
ous DUI-related offense. Police
said tests after the crash showed
Huberts blood-alcohol content to
be 0.208 percent, as well as detect-
ing evidence of marijuana in her
system.
The1997 Chevrolet Lumina dri-
venby Hubert was traveling about
96 miles per hour in a 25 mile-an-
hour zone on Oak Street prior to
striking the Focus at Oak and
Third streets, a state police recon-
struction determined.
Taylor Patrolman John Harri-
son said he detected a strong
odor of an alcoholic beverage on
Huberts breath as well as her
having slurred speech and glossy
eyes when he questioned her at
the scene.
Officer Harrison asked Hubert
if she had been drinking and was
she drunk, the affidavit states,
to which Hubert replied that yes,
she had been drinking and she
was drunk.
On further questioning, Hubert
allegedly told police that she had
stopped to buy alcohol on the way
home from a trip to Wal-Mart and
had consumed one can of malt
beverage Four Loko before resum-
ing the trip home.
She stated that she had driven
up Oak Street at a high rate of
speed in order to jump the hills
on Oak Street as the kids had
asked her to do, the affidavit
states. She turned around at the
Turkey Hill convenience store
and proceeded going east back
down Oak Street at a high rate of
speed, which she described as fly-
ing like a bat out of hell.
Police said the juveniles were
interviewed at the Childrens Ad-
vocacy Center after the crash,
where they said that Hubert al-
most crashed into a vehicle in
front of her while traveling west
up Oak, then turned around at the
Turkey Hill to attempt the game
headed eastbound at a speed
which frightened all three of
them.
The juveniles told investigators
they spotted the Ford Focus trav-
eling east in front of them and
tried to warn Hubert, to which
she ignored their warnings and re-
sponded that she (had) every-
thing under control, the affidavit
states.
When she came over the final
hill, Hubert said, the Focus was in
the middle of the road. She told
police she swerved, but could not
avoid a collision.
Hubert then stated that follow-
ing the collision, she went over to
the Ford Focus and knew that the
driver was dead, according to the
affidavit.

VanLuvender, who started in her seventh
year in that role. Before that, she spent 11
years teaching second grade at Abington
Heights.
Caleb, she exclaimed, holding her
hands low for a double high-five as one boy
approached to greet her. Whats up?
Effortlessly gliding through a sea of stu-
dents and families, VanLuvender seemed
very much in her element.
This is what its all about, just seeing
their faces, she said while waiting for more
kindergartners and their parents to arrive.
Its the kids. School isnt school without
them.
This year, VanLuvender will preside over
a student body of 492, including 73 incom-
ingkindergartners, as well as a staff of about
50 people.
A mother of three, VanLuvender has a
first-grader Aiden, 6, among those stu-
dents, withtwomore comingupbehind: Av-
ery, now a preschooler, and toddler Olivia.
The principal smiled a knowing smile and
extendedanarmaroundthe shoulders of an
incoming mother with obviously damp
eyes.
Are those tears I see? VanLuvender
asked. Theres no crying today, she added
in an encouraging tone.
Indeed, learningthe ropes - fromwhere to
park to where to enter the building to find-
ing the right classroom - seemed enough to
keep many students and their parents fo-
cused in the midst of such a momentous
day.
It takes about a week for themto get the
routine, said school security monitor Rob-
ert Dougher as he stood at one of the doors
welcoming families.
Crossing these portals for the first time
was still a moment for emotionandceremo-
ny. In a sign of the times, parents stood by
snapping photos, many with cell phones,
before teachers called their new charges to
order.
A few minutes later it was time for the
kindergartners to report to their new class-
rooms.
Okay, find your cubbies, instructor Ka-
tie Toraldo announced to her group, point-
ing the kindergartners toward storage
spaces bearing their names.
And then youre going to find your
seats, she added. And then were going to
color.
It didnt takethestudents verylongtoset-
tle in to the serious business of drawing and
coloring. Toraldo, starting her third year,
greeted parents and went over key matters
like making sure their children dont forget
to come back wearing the little green name
tags bearing their bus numbers.
I just love it, Toraldo said during a brief
break in the action. Im so excited.

el, andtheycant affordtohaveall
the stuff that we have, so were
gettingalot of businessthat way.
Workingwithabandinanother
country, like Sir Frankie Crisp,
isnt a rare occurrence for SI Stu-
dios, which regularly pulls in
business from all over world.
As a result, the experience has
exposedBorthwick, agraduateof
Wilkes University with a B.S. in
music; his chief engineer, Joe We-
gleski, a graduate of New York
University with a B.M. in music
technology; and engineer Chris
Condel, a graduate of Blooms-
burg University with a B.A. in au-
dio and video recording, to many
display behind his studio.
I just thought, from a nostal-
gic standpoint, the fire company,
the siren. It seems to make
sense, said Borthwick.
In some ways, the blending of
the past, the siren and the future,
therecordingstudio, is aniceway
to represent what SI Studios
does, which offers musicians the
latest technology, alongside
equipment from yesterday.
We have the ProTools HDsys-
tem, which is state of the art. We
also support the two-inch ana-
log, said Borthwick. A lot of
people still like the sound of ana-
log, soa portionof our business is
people who want to record old
school with the vintage equip-
ment, and another portion is
looking to get all the tricks and
gimmicks with the new digital
stuff, so we try to cover all the
bases.
The philosophy seems to be
working. Currently celebrating
their 30th year in business, staff
members at SI Studios, who have
recorded artists and groups like
George Wesley and Dakota, are
finding themselves as busy as
theyve ever been, helping musi-
cians in various stages of produc-
tion make their product better.
Earning a reputation after
three decades inthe business, the
studios continued success is
credited to word of mouth by
Borthwick.
We mastered an album for a
guy in New York City named Jeff
Slate, saidBorthwickofferingan
example. Jeff Slateis connect-
ed pretty well. A band from Italy
is talking to him and they said,
Were just not getting the sound
wewant, Andhesaid, Youvegot
to send your stuff to this guy in
Old Forge, SI Studios, theyll mix
and youll like it.
The Italian band, Sir Frankie
Crisp, a George Harrison tribute
band, sent its files to SI Studios,
where Borthwick said they were
mixed and mastered to the
groups liking.
Alot of studios may find it dif-
ficult to stay in business because
everybody has a little setup at
home, said Borthwick. Were
finding the opposite. People who
have a setupat home needa place
to take their stuff to the next lev-
different styles and ideas that
they are able to pass on to musi-
cians who record in their studio.
I likebeinganactiveparticipa-
nt in the recording process, said
Borthwick. It gives me a chance
tousetheskills Iveobtainedover
the years to help people advance.
You have to be careful, you
dont want to step on somebodys
creativity, but 99 percent of the
time people are thankful if you
say, That note really doesnt
work; you should make it this
note andthentheyll be like, Oh,
yeah, that sounds better. It
makes the whole product better,
and we want, if it comes out of
here, to be as successful as possi-
blesothat theycomebackor they
become successful with their
dream.
And with the business three
blocks from the home Borthwick
grew up in, for the last four years
the possibility has been even
greater that he could have a help-
ing hand in fostering the dreams
of a musician from his home-
town, where the business origi-
nated.
My first studio was up three
blocks from here in my mothers
house in the basement in 1982,
said Borthwick. Then I realized
theres only so far I could go in a
basement.
After coming to that realiza-
tion, he movedthe business, then
called Sound Investment Studio,
to Giannetta Music in downtown
Scranton where he stayed for 24
years until the building was sold.
We had to move, and I was
driving to take my mother to the
doctors and I saw the for sale
sign on the firehouse and I
thought, This may actually work
out well, said Borthwick.
WithBorthwickactingquickly,
SI Studios was up and running at
its new location on South Main
Street in Old Forge in six weeks,
where Borthwick is hoping it will
remain.
Its nice to be in my home
town, he said. I graduated with
the mayor (Michele Avvisato)
when I went to the planning
commission to say I want to
changetheuseof thebuilding, be-
cause it was designated as a day
care center, to a recording stu-
dioit was like, Oh, nice, we
dont have one of those in town.
I dont see us moving again.

CRANTON -- The
Scranton School Dis-
trict stands behind the
Career Technology Center of
Lackawanna County with re-
spect to possible legal action
against Riverside School Dis-
tricts move to pull out of the
consortium, officials reaf-
firmed last week.
Riversides decision will cause
irreparable harm to the Career
Technology Center of Lackawan-
na County and its students,
board member Nathan Barrett
said during a Sept. 4 meeting at
which the board voted unani-
mously to contribute toward
CTCs $18.1 million renovation
project.
The board also voted to partici-
pate in a countersuit against Riv-
erside if one is filed, which Super-
intendent Bill King told Go Lack-
awanna he expects will happen.
They just decided to pull the
plug and leave the consortium,
yet they passed the 2012-13 CTC
budget, which includes the reno-
vation project, Mr. King said of
Riversides Aug. 21lawsuit. They
have commitments on other CTC
projects: a new roof, a new print-
ing press; they have obligations
all over the place.
Riverside Superintendent Da-
vid Woods declined to comment
on any matters related to his dis-
tricts suit or the possibility of a
countersuit.
I respect Bill King. Hes a good
man and a good superintendent,
Woods said. Hes doing what he
has to do for Scranton, just as the
other superintendents have to do
what they think is right and just
for their districts and their stu-
dents.
CTC is a consortiumof nine ar-
ea districts. In addition to River-
side, its members are Carbondale,
Dunmore, Forest City, Lakeland,
Mid Valley, North Pocono, Scran-
ton and Valley View.
Riverside filed suit in August to
cut ties with CTC, seeking a judg-
ment that it has the right to pull
out under terms of the1968agree-
ment that state the pact ends
when there are no capital expen-
ditures outstanding.
At the heart of the case, howev-
er, were concerns about the CTC
project cost, with Riversides suit
contending that district does not
agree with the majority of the par-
ticipating (CTC) members that
it is appropriate to incur debt of
$18.1 million in order to recon-
struct or rehabilitate the building
housing the center.
Riversides board previously
voted against the project and
against a related bond issue, and
Woods has said on several occa-
sions that his district cannot af-
ford a price tag of $109,000 each
year for the next 20 years as a re-
sult. In response, his district
made arrangements tosendits ca-
reer technology students to the
Wilkes-Barre Area Career and
Technical Center in Plains Twp.
a move that also will save River-
side more than$36,000 inthe first
year alone due to reduced tuition
and transportation costs, Woods
has said.
With Riverside out, Scranton
and the other Lackawanna CTC
districts will have to pay more for
the building project than they
planned. In Scrantons case, that
could push the districts cost to as
much as $397,000 per year for
much of the projects life.
What Woods was able to con-
firmis that Riverside students be-
gan attending classes at Wilkes-
Barre CTCon Sept. 4, as planned,
while some students were still at-
tendingLackawanna CTC, alsoas
anticipated. He did not have the
exact numbers immediately at
hand. Initial estimates suggest
that as many as 40 tech students
could switch to the Luzerne
County facility.
I think overall things went
well, Woods said of the new ar-
rangement, other than working
out some transportation glitches
not uncommonat the beginning
of every year, he said.

T
he Scranton School
Board has cancelled
plans for a Thanksgiving
football game between Scran-
ton and West Scrantonas enthu-
siasm for a second meeting in
the same season was waning
and threats that some players
would boycott the game were
building.
Boardof Educationmembers were
unanimous in their decision in a
Sept. 4 vote.
Athletics and Stadiums Commit-
tee ChairmanBill Foxacknowledged
legitimate concerns from princi-
pals, athletic directors, coaches, ath-
letes and parents, in the decision to
cancel the game. Fox said part of the
resolution to suspend the game in-
cludes a measure to investigate shift-
ing the first and only meeting be-
tween the schools to Thanksgiving
Day beginning in the 2014 season.
Scranton Superintendent William
King said the school boards decision
to cancel the second game included
scheduling concerns if one or both
teams made the playoffs and player
safety ina game that isnt that impor-
tant to the overall season schedule.
With the football season ending
Nov. 2, the school boarddecidedthat
it was in the best interest of student
athletes to cancel the Thanksgiving
Day Bell Game, King said.
The board decided last year to re-
new the Thanksgiving tradition by
pitting its two schools against each
other that day at Memorial Stadium.
Logistical issues did not all go as
hoped, however, and the Lackawan-
na Football Conference schedule re-
quired the teams to meet Oct. 5 for
their Division 1 game.
One of the biggest issues was the
fact that they were going to be play-
ing twice in the season, first-year
West Scranton athletic director Rick
Bresser said. Coaches were against
it for a lot of reasons, but I think the
idea of playing twice was paramount
in their reasoning.
George Roskos led the drive to
bring Thanksgiving football back to
the district in his only year as West
Scranton athletic director. He
stepped down to become baseball
coach at the school, removing one of
the contests biggest proponents.
Once the schedule was set, con-
cerns grew about player interest in a
game 20 days after the endof the reg-
ular season. It was fearedthat players
from a losing team that missed the
playoffs might not want to practice
through that long break or that a
team in the playoffs would have less
interest in an exhibition game, even
with the school districts traditional
bell at stake for the winner.
A lot of the idea was that this
would be The Game, Bresser said.
The Bell Game is usually a week-
long thing and it probably would not
be if we were playing twice.
Complaints fromparents and play-
ers confirmed that the game was los-
ing interest.
Some parents informed coaches
that they would not let their sons
participate in a Thanksgiving game.
Some players expressedthe desire to
move on to the start of their winter
sports season if the football team is
otherwise done before Thanksgiv-
ing.
Neither coach was enthused
about playing the game because a lot
of kids and parents were not en-
thused, Bresser said. There were
concerns that it would turn into a JV
game with a lot of the kids, who
would normally be out there, not
playing.
Prior to the implementation of
state playoffs, West Scranton played
Dunmore and Central played Tech
each year on Thanksgiving. The for-
mer Central and Tech schools are
now part of Scranton High.
Bresser saidthe idea of the game is
not completely dead.
The board decided to cancel plans
for this two-year schedule cycle, but
as Fox also noted, the issue will be
revisited next fall for the 2014-15 sea-
sons.
Bresser and Scranton Athletic Di-
rector Ted Anderson are expected to
survey coaches, athletes and parents
next year at this time to see if there is
interest in the game for the next two-
year cycle. The response will be pre-
sented to the board, which would re-
quest the LFC allow the teams to
play on Thanksgiving only if there is
interest in the holiday game.

ALLASTWP. Be-
fore the introduc-
tion of The U.S.
Bishops Pastoral
Letter: Economic Justice for
All After 25 Years, the Ca-
tholic Church had failed to
fully link justice with social
concerns such as poverty,
unemployment, cultural di-
versity and challenges to
traditional family structure,
Diocese of Scranton Bishop
Joseph C. Bambera told a
symposium audience at Mi-
sericordia University on
Sept. 6.
Bambera was keynote
speaker for the symposium,
which addressed the intent
and context of the original
document.
Joseph Curran, Ph.D., as-
sociate professor and chair
of the Department of Reli-
gious Studies at the univer-
sity, told the audience the
church now has a better un-
derstandingof howfaithcan
motivate believers to create
positive change.
Curran said the church is
a powerful voice for the
poor, unemployed and ex-
ploited. He spoke of howhis
own ministry had been in-
fluenced by the pastoral let-
ter he had read many years
ago as an undergraduate.
Misericordia President
Michael MacDowell said
that, despite economic
events that could not have
been projected 25 years ago
when the letter was written,
the document is still rele-
vant and valuable today.
Sister Mary Fellin, RSM,
said she was especially in-
terested in the presentation
because of her own work
withthe poor andhomeless.
She emphasized that all hu-
man life had value and
should not be marginalized.
The symposium included
a panel discussion, whichin-
cluded Curran, Margarita
Rose, Ph.D., professor and
chair of the Department of
Economics at Kings Col-
lege, and Timothy Kearney,
Ph.D., assistant professor
andchair of the Department
of Business at Misericordia
University.
The event concludedwith
panel members fielding
questions inregardto issues
affecting Catholics and the
church.

GOLACKAWANNA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 PAGE 9
SCRANTON The
campaign for State House
candidate Ray Nearhood
has issued its first state-
ment since the Scranton
Republican was involved
in an Aug. 13 accident in
Lackawanna County.
While attempting to
avoid a stopped vehicle on
the Casey Highway near
Carbondale, Nearhood
was involved in a very seri-
ous car accident. Another
vehicle was also involved,
with serious injuries sus-
tained by the passengers.
Nearhoods injuries are
extensive. Because of this,
his family initially asked
that both his campaign
committee and the Repub-
lican Party of Lackawanna
County withhold any com-
ment on his condition or
his campaign until his
physicians could better as-
sess his situation. Near-
hood is still undergoing
treatment and has a very
difficult road ahead of
him, the emailed release
stated. He is, however, im-
proving. Because of this,
his family, friends and sup-
porters have decided to
continue his campaign for
State Representative.
Kenn Anderson Sr.,
chairman of the Friends of
Ray Nearhood committee,
issued the following state-
ment:
Rays campaign started
in the most challenging
way possible as a write-
in candidate where he
beat the odds and secured
the nomination. He did
this for two reasons: first,
because he knew that he
could use his experience
and education to help fix
the problems plaguing
Harrisburg; and second,
because he wanted the
voters of his district to
have a choice in the No-
vember election. Rays ad-
vocacy for smaller, less in-
trusive government and
his experience working
with troubled govern-
ments to solve their finan-
cial problems is well
known. It is that philoso-
phy and that experience
that Harrisburg needs
right now.
Because Ray is so pas-
sionate about helping this
district and because we
believe Ray is truly need-
ed in Harrisburg, his fam-
ily, friends and supporters
have met and decided to
continue his campaign for
him while he recovers. As
a long-time friend of Rays,
I can honestly say that Ray
would never quit on a
friend. We, the Friends of
Ray Nearhood, will not
quit on him.
Lance Stange, chairman
of the Republican Party of
Lackawanna County, is-
sued the following state-
ment:
Before this unfortunate
accident, Ray worked his
campaign daily. Rain or
shine, you could hardly
find a day that Ray wasnt
out pounding the pave-
ment talking to voters. His
dedication to this race was
incredible. Now that his
injuries make it impossi-
ble for him to meet the
physical demands of his
campaign, his supporters
have agreed to pick up
where Ray left off. It wont
be Ray knocking on your
door; it will be one of his
dedicated friends and sup-
porters talking to you
about why Ray is the best
candidate for State Repre-
sentative. Rays friends
have come together for his
campaign in a way I have
never seen before. It is tru-
ly a testament to the kind
of man Ray Nearhood is.
Nearhood is the GOP
challenger to 112th Dis-
trict Representative Kevin
Haggerty. The seat is cur-
rently held by Rep. Ken
Smith, who was defeated
in the party primary by
Haggerty.

M
oosic resident Michael
Meoni may have lost
his year-and-a-half bat-
tle with Acute Myeloid Leuke-
mia on Aug. 29, but just weeks
after his passing, those who
knewhim, andmanywhodidnt,
will celebrate his memory.
Patrick Martin of Scranton
met Meoni, a geometry teacher
at Lakeland Junior/Senior
High School, about a year ago
through mutual friends and his
sister Kimberly, who donated
stemcells inhope of curingMe-
onis disease.
Martin had never before met any-
one so young with cancer but was
struckby howmuchMeoni caredfor
others problems outside of his own.
Meoni was only 27 when he passed
away and was married not even a
year.
It sounds cliche, but he was a ve-
ry caring person. He was a fighter,
and he was strong, Martin recalled.
He liked to teach. He was good
with kids. Even though he would
have problems, he was willing to lis-
ten to you and talk to you about
something that happened at work. It
wasnt always about him. He was al-
ways friendly and outgoing. Ive
known other people like that, but in
that situation, I couldnt imagine I
would be the same way, to tell you
the truth.
When he found out what Kimber-
ly was doing for her brother, Martin
felt compelledto help out inany way
he could, so he quickly began orga-
nizing a benefit to help the Meoni
family pay for medical bills.
Im one of these people who can-
not stand by and let things happen
around me like that. Theres no way
to fix it, so this is the second best
thing to me, he emphasized.
Martin immediately recruited his
six-member improvisational come-
dy group Here We Are In Spain to
participate and before he knewit, he
had an eclectic line-up consisting of
juggler and magician Michael Si-
mon, Brendan Regan on acoustic
guitar, fellow comedy troupe Unor-
ganized Business Ensemble and in-
die rock band A Fire With Friends.
Local businesses, such as Pizza by
Pappas, Canada Dry-Royal Crown,
Fratellis Pizza and Pasta House,
Steve &Irenes Hoagies, Comics On
the Green, Embassy Vinyl and Penn
Foster all donated free food, fliers,
gift cards and baskets for $1 raffles.
Everyone was on board almost
instantly. It really made me believe
that people care, Martin beamed.
Everybody was so willing to do it. I
was so blown away by it.
His hope is that the variety of acts
scheduled for Sept. 15 at the AFA
Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Ave.,
Scranton, will attract the largest
amount of people possible.
Thats why were doing two
shows, an 8 p.m. and a10 p.m. If jug-
gling and magic are not your thing,
then maybe music is your thing. If
music is not your thing, maybe com-
edy is. My goal is to get about 100
people per show
and tickets have
been selling well
already, he ex-
plained.
Every group
brings something
different to it,
which is nice. Just knowing the acts,
if you decide to go to both shows,
youre going to see two completely
different shows.
The funnyman is also looking for-
ward to his groups part of the eve-
ning.
If you like shows like Whose
Line Is It Anyway? thats basically
what we do. We go to the audience
for a suggestion, and based on your
suggestion we create a scene. I want
to ask all the people who are coming
out to bring suggestions. Bring your
goofiest and silliest things; throw
them at us. We like things that we
dont normally get, he noted.
I love entertaining. I love being
on stageI also like not having to
memorize any scripts. Its like home-
work.
The most important part of the
night, however, is supporting a
cause that has touched many
throughout the Northeastern Penn-
sylvania community.
One, its a great cause, so youre
not going to lose money, so to speak.
Two, its great entertainment.
Three, theres going to be free food
at intermission at both shows. You
cant pass that up! he enthused.
Its not only been a good experi-
ence getting to know Mike and his
family, but putting this together has
been a great experienceIm really
excited about the show and I cant
wait to see what happens.

I
n love, everyone may wish they
coulduse a little magic to make
things go their way, but rela-
tionships are never that easy, even
for witches.
Actors Circle is opening its 31st
season at the Providence Play-
house, 1256 Providence Rd., Scran-
ton, with the supernatural roman-
tic comedy, Bell, Book and Can-
dle, by John Van Druten.
It follows free-spirited Gillian
Holroyd, unlucky in love, restless
in life and a witch. The love of her
life, Shep Henderson, becomes en-
gaged to her college rival, so she
uses all her magic to stop the im-
pending wedding but learns that
love is the strongest spell of all.
Its a story that charmed Clarks
Summit director David Hunisch
when he first read the play, later
suggesting it to Actors Circle.
I had come across it one day at
the library. Its sort of set during
the period, especially in Broadway
history, that I really like. It was
written in the late 40s and it pre-
miered on Broadway in 1950.
Thats sort of the Golden Age of
Broadway theater. I really like that
period, Hunisch said.
Its an elegant, funny comedy,
and it brings in some different su-
pernatural elements as well, which
gives it a bit of an edge.
The 32-year-old seasoned actor
made his directorial debut at the
Providence Playhouse with the
opening show of its 30th season,
The Ladies of the Camellias and
will bring that knowledge to his
second time in the directors chair.
Actors Circle opens with supernatural comedy
Casey Thomas, left, Brink Powell, and Norine Maier star in Bell, Book and Candle, a magical romantic comedy with a dash of witchcraft.

Back to school shopping is
probably complete by now,
and you will notice the Hal-
loween and Christmas deco-
rations starting to fill display
windows. But did you know
that Fall is one of the best
times to bargain shop?
If you are a serious bargain
shopper, you either have two
strategies to shopping;
browsing the clearance sec-
tion or shopping one season
ahead or behind. If you cant
be bothered by using cou-
pons to save, these are two
alternatives to saving money
throughout the year. Either
way, they both go hand in
hand as long as you arent
paying full price.
Back to school time brings
tons of post sales since retail-
ers are trying to clear the
shelves for candy and cos-
tumes. This is the time to
buy back-to-school supplies
very cheap and think outside
the pencil box when it comes
to stockpiling these deals.
Crayons can be found for as
low as a penny during Sep-
tember. There are a number
of ways to use crayons
throughout the year. With all
the great deals on art suppli-
es, stock up on deals and
create an art studio for your
kids. This will come in
handy during rainy days or
just when you feel the need
to create something awe-
some. Purchase a clear plas-
tic tote that can be easily
stored anywhere in the
house. It can be the mobile
art studio. Stock up on
crayons, markers, glue, glit-
ter and notebooks and have
the kids name the art studio.
With the prices so low on
many of these items, you can
create an art studio to give
as a gift.
One of my favorite ideas
for crayons is to wrap four of
them in a ribbon and give as
party favors or at Halloween
as an alternative to candy.
There are a ton of printable
coloring pages that can also
be wrapped in ribbon or just
purchase a large coloring
book at the dollar store.
Taking advantage of these
September sales can save
you over 90 percent on sup-
plies that will last the entire
year.
September and October
are the perfect time to buy
cheap bathing suits and
shorts. This is one to plan
ahead for by buying a size or
two bigger than you would
buy right now. Kohls has
summer toys and clothing
marked down almost 90
percent. In the past, I have
gotten shirts and shorts for
as little as $1.50. If you are a
clearance shopper, then you
definitely want to stop by
Kohls.
Through Sept. 11, shop
Kohls.com for 99 cent ship-
ping per item and an extra
20 percent off using coupon
code JUST4U. Get a $14.99
Hello Kitty Sprinkler ship-
ped to your door for under
$6.
September also brings
some huge discounts on
foods for back to school.
This is the time to stock the
pantry with juice boxes,
boxed pasta mixes, canned
goods and zip lock bags.
Think of items that will have
a long shelf life in the pantry
and try to stock up when the
price is down. Some other
sale items include breakfast
foods, peanut butter, jelly,
bread sales and a lot of new
products.
CVS and Rite Aid have a
huge clearance sale right
now on summer and outdoor
items up to 75 percent off.
Some items include outdoor
grills, pool toys, charcoal,
flip flops and garden decor. A
few weeks back, I was able to
get outdoor candles for un-
der $1, regular price $9.99.
Next time youre looking
to buy ahead, make sure you
check the clearance section
and for online deals, check
bucktownbargains.com.
Really, who doesnt love a
bargain?

I work in a really old build-
ing.
When we hear that phrase,
we usually dont envy the per-
son who said it. While the
advantages of a newly-con-
structed building are many and
obvious, there is something to
be said for working in a build-
ing that was built in 1840 and
situated near the base of a
lonely road that took travelers
through Leggetts Gap. It was a
time when wolf packs still
roamed the Notch and In-
terstate 81 would have seemed
a mad dream.
The building in question is
the Silkman House in North
Scranton. Many long-time
Scranton residents think of it
as the Providence Branch of
the Scranton Public Library
which it was from1939 to
2006, but it has a long history
that predates is use as a library
branch and which continues
today.
In 1838, Aaron Burr Silkman
(1815-1895) moved to this area
from New York State. Silkman,
who was in the lumber busi-
ness, constructed the Silkman
House in 1840 using wood from
trees on the property. He lived
there until the death of his wife
in 1847. In July 1849, he trans-
ferred the property to his cou-
sin William Silkman (1807-
1874) in return for $2,000 and a
parcel in what is now Scran-
tons Hill Section. A hand-
written deed recording this
complex transaction can be
viewed in the Lackawanna
Valley Digital Archives (http://
www.lackawannadigitalar-
chives.org).
There is still an antique
Smooth Top stove in the base-
ment dating from an era when
people cooked in their cellars.
The panes of glass may have
flaws and bubbles, but these
flaws are a spur to the imag-
ination, where the body shop
next door becomes a long-gone
house with a friendly neighbor
waving through their own
flawed window pane. You can
still find, throughout the build-
ing, random objects like a lug-
gage tag likely hand-written in
the late 19th century and a
small bottle whose contents,
long-vanished, was the malt
in some childs malted milk.
William and his descendants
lived in the Silkman House
until 1938 when the property
and building were given to the
Scranton Public Library. It
operated as a branch library
until 2006 when demographic
and population changes precip-
itated its closure.
However, it was not yet time
for the library and this historic
house to part ways. In 2010, the
library installed a new heating
and air conditioning system
using funds from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act and, thanks to a grant from
the Lackawanna Heritage Val-
ley Authority, had the exterior
repainted. While it is no longer
a public branch, it is home to
the librarys technical services
cepartment, an operation that
catalogs and processes new
books and DVDs for all seven
libraries in the Lackawanna
County Library System. The
second floor is occupied by the
Lackawanna River Corridor
Association while the area of
the grounds bordering East
Market Street contains the
Kosciuska Healing Garden, a
tranquil place to take a break
on a summer afternoon.
We find ourselves with a
poetic irony: an operation that
deals with apps and the In-
ternet and cutting edge tech-
nology is run from a building
that was already two decades
old when the Civil War started.
The Silkman House is locat-
ed at 2006 North Main Ave. in
Scranton. While it is no longer
open to the public as a library
branch, visitors are welcome
between 8 a.m.and 4 p.m. Mon-
day through Friday.
This undated photo of the Silkman House is believed to be from the early 1900s. Tracks in the foreground would have carried street-
cars past the house, which was built nearly 50 years before Scrantons first electric trolleys ran in 1886.

The two shows are actually
very different, but I think in
terms of being a director, its dif-
ferent from acting in the sense
that youre not just coming to
the experience with what your
character needs andjust your re-
lation to the rest of the actors on
stage. You really have to have
your eyes open all the time to
the whole production. You have
to notice very little, minute de-
tails as well as working with the
actors, Hunisch explained.
I think the challenge is just
tryingtokeepit fromgettingtoo
hokey. You always want to try to
keep it as real as possibleI try
to get themto always come back
to, What is the characters ini-
tial motivation? Why are they
here? What do they want? I
think if you really focus on that
and then bring in a lot of energy
and try to keep the connection
between the actors, I think what
ends up coming out on stage is
natural and believable and
serves the text well.
Inspired by the original
Broadway production, which
starred Rex Harrison, Hunisch
admitted that he is not a fan of
the movie starring James Stew-
art and Kim Novak, but he also
wanted to choose a play that
people may recognize from the
1958 film adaptation.
Especiallyinthis area, I think
a lot of people like to see things
that theyre somewhat familiar
with, but at the same time, I
think the play is a little different
than the movie, so there will be
some surprises for them as
well, he noted.
(The movie) expands the
story to other locales and brings
in other characters that arent in
the play, and I think the movie
lacks a bit of the intimacy that
the show has.
Hunisch feels the humor and
mystical elements, mixed with a
poignant love story are what
make Bell, Book and Candle,
which runs from Sept. 20-30, a
very satisfying show.
I think the show does have a
little bit of everything in it. I
think we have a very strong cast
of local actors, and I think its an
enjoyable show, too, he said.
We have a nice physical produc-
tion as well. I think we have a
nice set and nice costumes and
things like that.

The Linder Gallery at Keystone Col-
lege will present an exhibition of sculp-
ture by Scranton artist Denis Yanashot
from Sept. 16 through Oct. 19 on the
Keystone campus in La Plume.
The exhibit, Terra Firma and the Spir-
it of Flight, will feature a reception for
the artist from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday,
Sept. 16 in the Gallery.
Yanashot, a graduate of Keystone and
an art teacher at Riverside High School,
is known throughout the region for his
elegant carved marble sculptures of flow-
ers and plant forms. This exhibit fea-
tures many of these works, in addition to
more recent sculptures made of assem-
bled bones and other found objects relat-
ing to the experience of flight.
This exhibition is the result of Yanash-
ots participation in the 2012 NEPA Re-
gional Art exhibit, for which he received
the Best of Show award and a One-Per-
son Exhibit award at Keystone College.
Denis work is known for its elegance
and beauty, but I think many viewers will
be immensely surprised and challenged
by his more recent sculptures, said
Drake Gmez, director of the Linder Gal-
lery.
The theme of flight has enticed many
artists, but Denis has firsthand experi-
ence through his years of hang gliding,
so theres an authenticity to his work.
Yanashot will give a presentation on
his artwork at 9:45 a.m. on Monday,
Sept. 17 in the Fireplace Lounge of Hib-
bard Campus Center. For further infor-
mation and gallery hours, call
570.945.8335.

Riverside had a 17-14 ad-
vantage in first downs and a
296-185 lead in total yardage
despite being charged for
minus-31 team yards on the
bad punt snap and losing an
additional 32 yards in sacks.
Dave Sweetman carried 13
times for 56 yards and caught
two passes for 13 yards for the
Vikings.
Demianovich carried 19
times for 95 yards to help
Carbondale to a 128-118 lead in
rushing yards.
Gigliotti finished 7-for-14 for
57 yards but was intercepted
twice. Munley (75 yards) and
Loftus (45) each caught three
passes for the Vikings.
Riverside was penalized 13
times for 84 yards.
Loftus also had seven tack-
les, including one for a loss,
and three assists.
Carbondale defensive line-
man Joe Sosa had two sacks
and a fumble recovery. He
finished with four tackles and
two assists.
Remington Hedden had
seven tackles for the Char-
gers.
T
AYLOR Nick Dranchak lofted a third-and-15 pass over the Carbondale de-
fense for his fourthtouchdownpass, a game-winning 44-yarder to Nico Munley
with 48.7 seconds left in Friday nights football game.
Dranchaks work was not done yet.
The senior made a game-sav-
ing stop at the 2 with no time
on the clock to preserve River-
sides 32-28 home-field victory.
Hes one of the toughest
kids Ive ever had the opportu-
nity to coach, Riverside coach
Evan Prall said. I love the kid
for his toughness.
Dranchak carried a heavy
workload. He led the Vikings
with 85 rushing yards on 17
carries while hitting 11 of 23
passes for 178 yards. He was
second on the team in tackles,
broke up a pass and punted
three times.
I was a little banged up, but
I had to keep pushing
through, Dranchak said.
The same could be said for
the Chargers who attacked the
Vikings between the tackles
late in the game while putting
together an upset attempt.
Sam Demianovich ran for
two of his three touchdowns in
the fourth quarter to lead Car-
bondale back from a 25-14 def-
icit. Carbondales go-ahead
score came from Demianovich
just one play after he was
forced out of the game because
he was vomiting on the field.
The Chargers kept pressing
even after Dranchak and Mun-
ley put the Vikings on top.
Joe Gigliotti hit three pas-
ses, including two to convert
third downs, moving the Char-
gers to the Vikings 18 with
three-tenths of a second re-
maining. A pass interference
call on Riverside gave Carbon-
dale one last untimed down
from the 9.
Mark Donaghey provided
the pass rush, forcing Gigliotti
to back-pedal deep into the
backfield before throwing to
Lukas Durkin, who was wrap-
ped up by Dranchak at the 2.
Mark came off the edge and
made him throw off his back
foot, Prall said.
Carbondale, which won just
three games in the previous
two seasons, has 21 of 22 start-
ers back and battled last years
District 2 Class Afinalists until
the clock ran out.

ILKES-BARRE After a slow first
quarter, Old Forge rode a 29-point
second quarter blitzkrieg to a big
halftime lead and eventual 42-7 defeat of
Meyers at Wilkes-Barre Memorial StadiumFri-
day night in a non-conference showdown.
Blue Devils running back Brian Tomasetti
punched in two short scoring runs that com-
plemented senior quarterback Brenden Wahls
deep scoring passes of 73, 50 and 39 yards to
build a 35-0 halftime lead. Tomasetti had the
catch on the 50-yard touchdown pass to assure
Old Forge (2-0) would play the entire second
half under the Mercy Rule against Mercy (1-1).
We started slowly last week and
we wanted to come out this week
and take whatever opened up for
us, Old Forge head coach Mike
Schuback said. Brenden worked re-
allyhardthis weekwithhis receivers
and the guys up front gave him the
time he needed.
I told him before the season that
its his time now and that hes been
overdue for a big game.
Wahl finished his night midway
through the third quarter after a
one-play strike to Michael Vieira. He
went 8-for-9 for 258 yards and four
touchdowns without a turnover.
The finesse Wahl showed to hit
Vieira perfectly in stride for a 68-
yard touchdown probably would
have been his best play of the night,
if not for one worthy of the highlight
reel in the second quarter.
On third-and-five at midfield,
Wahl scrambled to his right and met
a wall of Mohawks before deftly re-
versing direction, taking a look up
the field and then alertly stepping
back from the line of scrimmage for
asimplefliptoawideopenTomaset-
ti. The senior running back rode a
crushing block 25 yards downfield
for a 21-0 lead.
Once I saw that the play started
to break, I just tried to move around
enough to keep some things going
and fortunately for us, my team-
mates saw and did the same, Wahl
said. I didnt lose any faith in them
out there on that play and it turned
out to be a big one for us.

five times on the possession, including
the third down and the scoring play.
Robinson ran around the left side, then
cut back and found a seam for a 9-yard

ter. The Invaders scored on their first pos-

Before a Tomasetti run ended
the second-quarter outburst,
Wahl added another score, this
time rolling to his left and placing
the ball right on the fingertips of
Jake Manetti.
WhileMeyers still playedwitha
decided intensity in the second
half, the last two quarters went
much like the first Old Forges
large and athletic front four bring-

was held to 44 yards on 20 carries.
Quarterback Teaguen Labatch,

Meyers got on the scoreboard
late after a 9-yard scramble from
Labatch. Anthony Piccolini
caught Wahls 73-yard touchdown
pass for a 6-0 lead after one quar-
ter.

The small enrollment carries

play soccer all year long.
Unlike some of the topprograms
in the Lackawanna League, Old
Forge does not have a single player
on its roster devoting year-round
time to travel soccer.
Its a little difficult for us, Len-
ceski said, but with hard practice
anddedication, weshouldbeat the
same level as those other teams.
In two tournament games and a
non-league contest, Old Forge
scored first every time only to be
overwhelmed with defensive
breakdowns after taking the early
lead.
Lenceski is concentrating on
building his players up in multiple
areas: the conditioning needed to
handle the running in soccer, the
confidence to handle game situa-
tions they have not faced as often
as opponents and the overall game
knowledge to react more instinc-
tively.
The Blue Devils doreturnsixex-
perienced senior players to fill
more than half the starting lineup.
DavidChromeyis ingoal, Nicholas
Killino is a defender, Matt Mancu-
so and Tyler Cavalari are midfiel-
ders and Jared Heckman and Bob
Cipollina are forwards.
Junior midfielder Christian Mo-
zeleski and sweeper Robert Dono-
van are among the top underclass-
men on the 19-player, co-ed roster,
which features five female players
because Old Forge does not have a
girls team.
OldForge went 3-11to finishsev-
enth of eight teams in Division 3
before the Lackawanna League re-
aligned.
The new, 12-team Division 3 fig-
ures to be even more difficult with
three championship squads froma
year ago.
Mountain View, the defending
District 2 Class Achampion, drops
down after finishing second to
powerful Abington Heights in Di-
vision 1. Holy Cross was the unde-
feated Division 2 champion last
season. Forest City went 13-1 and
won the Division 3 title.

the new head coach at River-
side, which returns just four
starters after finishing in last
place in the bottom division
of Lackawanna League boys
soccer last season.
The Vikings were 1-12-1
last season when the division
had eight teams. They re-
main in Division 3, which
has 12 teams following re-
alignment.
Collins, a former West

Most of Riversides experi-
ence comes on defense
where returning starters will
fill three of four spots.
Seniors Joey Belveduto
and Eric Vanhof return,
along with junior Charlie
Koytek.
Junior Mat Lucas, who al-
so kicks for the football team
and had two field goals in the
opener, returns at midfield.

and Lacee Collins are among
the top newcomers to the
starting lineup.
Collins and Katie Klingler

Tuesday night
when West Scranton
opened its Lackawanna
League Division 1 girls soc-
cer season by playing to a
scoreless tie with Scranton
in the rain at Scranton Me-
morial Stadium.
It was a miserable
night, West Scranton
coach Jim Cook said. It
was raining off and on pret-
ty much throughout the
whole game.
West Scranton dropped to 0-
1-1 in league play later in the
week with a 5-0 loss at Valley
View.
In the opener, the Lady Invad-
ers were playing their third
game in four days after taking
thirdplaceintheSecondAnnual
Jamie Kotula Kickoff Classic
with Sundays victory over Dun-
more.
The Holy Cross boys were
first out of six teams, including
West Scranton, and Wallenpau-
pack girls won the four-team
girls division in the Kotula Tour-
nament.
Kotula, a junior who was a
member of the Holy Cross soc-
cer team, died in an automobile
accident in January 2011.
CROSS COUNTRY
The Riverside boys split their
four meets in the opening clus-
ter of the Lackawanna League
cross country season Wednes-
day at Lackawanna Trail.
Riverside outscored Moun-
tain View and Susquehanna
while falling to Lackawanna
Trail and Lakeland.
The Lady Vikes lost to the on-
ly two full girls teams at the
meet Susquehanna and Lacka-
wanna Trail.
Nick Strenkoski and Cassie
Semyon led the way for River-
side when it opened the season
Sept. 1 at the Cliff Robbins Invi-
tational in Dallas.
Strenkoski was 80th out of
237 runners, finishing the 3.1-
mile course in 20:17 while River-
side was last among 23 teams.
Semyon was 42nd out of 198
girls runners in 23:08. The Lady
Vikes were 17th of 18 teams.
Both West Scranton teams
opened the league season with a
pair of losses. They fell to Holy

The Scranton Prep graduate
from Moosic was selected one

Hudacek shot an even-par, 72

Mike Mun-
chak goes
into his sec-
ond season as
a National
Football League head coach
with more knowledge than
he had in his first season.
That knowledge extends
even to his team.
A year ago, Munchak
made his debut as the Ten-
nessee Titans head coach
without the benefit of a nor-
mal offseason because the
NFL lockout robbed what
was then the leagues new-
est coach of valuable prep-
aration time.
Probably the biggest differ-
ence between last year and this
year is we know our team much
better, Munchak said during his
Monday press conference. That
doesnt relate to how we work
them, but I think as far as our
combinations on both sides,
offense and defense.
Our approach is the same,
but I think we understand our
players much better to start this
season than we did last year.
The Scranton native lost his
opener last year when the Titans
fell in Jacksonville, 16-14. Ten-
nessee came back to win its next
three games and finished 9-7,
missing the playoffs on a tie-
breaker.
Munchak is part of the usual
strong Lackawanna County
influence in the NFL.
Old Forges Ray Rychleski was
let go as special teams coach of
the Indianapolis Colts in Janu-
ary, but Munchak, Vic Fangio,
Joe Marciano, Tom Kanavy and
John McNulty remain on NFL
coaching staffs.
Munchak, the Scranton Cen-
tral graduate who is an NFL Hall
of Famer for his play at guard,
has stayed with the Houston
Oilers/Tennessee Titans orga-
nization since being drafted out
of Penn State in 1982.
The Titans open at home
today against the New England
Patriots.
I think were excited, Mun-
chak said. Theres no reason
not to be.
There is plenty of excitement
surrounding the San Francisco
49ers, who are considered a
strong Super Bowl contender
with the help of the defensive
coordinator Vic Fangio, a former
Dunmore player.
The 49ers are in one of the top
matchups of the first weekend,
playing at Green Bay today at
4:25 p.m. in a game between
defending NFC division cham-
pions. Green Bay had a league-
best 15-1 record last season
when San Francisco was one of
three teams to finish second best
at 13-3.
A large reason for that success
was the defensive work under
Fangio in his return to an NFL
defensive coordinator job after
spending the previous season at
Stanford. San Francisco led the
NFL in rushing defense and led
the NFC in total defense as Fan-
gios team established itself
physically.
Marciano, one of the fran-
chises original coaches, is enter-
ing his 11th season with the
Houston Texans, the defending
champion in the AFC South.
The Dunmore native is in his
26th season as an NFL special
teams coordinator.
The Texans set team records
in several special teams statisti-
cal categories last season.
Houston is home with Miami
today at 1 p.m.
Valley View graduate Tom
Kanavy is trying to prepare the
Minnesota Vikings for a turn-
around after a 3-13 season. Kana-
vy is in his seven season as Min-
nesota strength and condition-
ing coach and his 18th season
overall as an NFL coach.
The Vikings are home with
Jacksonville today at 1 p.m.
Abington Heights and Penn
State graduate John McNulty
moves from receivers coach to
quarterbacks coach in his fourth
season as an assistant on the
Arizona Cardinals staff. He
spent six earlier seasons in the
NFL with Jacksonville and Dal-
las.
The Cardinals are home today
at 4:25 p.m. against Seattle.
In addition to the five gradu-
ates of Lackawanna County high
schools coaching in the league,
there are other connections to
active rosters.
Bryant McKinnie and Donald
Jones, a pair of former Lacka-
wanna College players, will open
their seasons today.
McKinnie, a 6-foot-8, 354-
pounder who went from Lacka-
wanna to the University of Mia-
mi, is able to begin his 11th
season in the NFL after restruc-
turing his contract with the
Baltimore Ravens. McKinnie is
expected to start at left tackle
when the Ravens open Monday
night at 7 against Cincinnati.
Jones, who has 41 receptions
in 23 games over the past two
seasons, is a wide receiver with
Buffalo. The Bills are at the New
York Jets today at 1 p.m.
When the NFL opened
Wednesday, Chris Snee, a gradu-
ate of current Lackawanna Foot-
ball Conference member school
Montrose, was in his usual spot
as starting offensive guard for
the defending Super Bowl cham-
pion New York Giants.
Snee began his ninth season
by making his 123rd regular-
season NFL start in a 24-17 loss
to the Dallas Cowboys.

Barton R. Earl, 84, of Clarks
Summit, went home to be with
his Savior on Saturday eve-
ning, August 4, 2012.
Born in Dallas, he was a son
of the late Thomas and Maude
Dymond Earl.
He was preceded in death by
five brothers, Thomas Earl,
Howard Earl, Alden Earl,
Raymond Earl, and Donald
Earl; two sisters, Annabelle
Fitser, Eleanor Joslin and also
by his wife of 32 years, Mae
Coolbaugh Earl.
Surviving him are two
brothers, Robert Earl, Ken-
neth Earl and his devoted
companion for the last four
years, Wilma Hess Williams.
Barton was owner and
builder of Forest Acres Devel-
opment and a master plaster-
er. Bart was very proud of his
work in the Masonic Lodge,
serving as a two-time Master
of the Waverly Lodge #301,
but he considered his children
and grandchildren to be his
crowning glory. Bart truly
lived a great life and had the
best stories to prove it. His
claim to fame was his ability
to meet someone waiting in
line or anywhere and by the
time he left the building, they
would have found something
in common and become good
friends.
After completing high
school, Bart joined the Navy
during World War II, and was
put into the Medics Division.
Throughout his life, Bart has
left a legacy of hard work,
determination and an un-
surpassed passion for foster-
ing his relationships with old
and new friends. He had such
a love for life and lived each
day to its fullest. His interests
included salmon and lake
trout fishing in Canada,
hunting, basketball (especially
following Steve Nash), square
dance and ballroom dancing,
riding his Harley, snow skiing
and roller-skating. He also
enjoyed moonlight hiking on
the Superstition Mountains in
Arizona. But most of all, he
just loved being part of what-
ever his grandchildren were
doing and being proud of their
accomplishments.
He is survived by four
children, Barton R. Earl and
his wife, Ellen, Barbara Rozelle
and her husband, Richard,
Beverly Piconi and Bryon Earl
and his wife, Mary. He had 11
grandchildren, four great-
grandchildren, six nieces, 12
nephews and a multitude of
lifetime friends.
Bart will be cremated in
Apache Junction, Arizona and
brought home to rest.
A memorial service will be
held Friday, September 21,
2012 from 7 to 8 p.m. at
Waverly Lodge #301, North
Abington Road, Clarks Green.
Friends and family can pay
their respects from 6 until 7
p.m.

lieu of flowers, donations be
made to Waverly Lodge #301,

yga St., Jessup, PA18434.

day trips to state
parks, sporting
events, museums
and many other
points of interest.

loved attending
church services and
the loving company
of her family and friends. She often said
that if a person has good health, faith,
family and friends they really dont need
much of anything else. Agnes was a
stay-at-home mom who loved her chil-
dren, cooking and keeping her home and
family in order. Her passion for cooking
will be remembered, especially for her
piggies, pot roast and homemade soups.
Agnes enjoyed taking walks in her neigh-
borhood, always stopping to talk with her
friends and the neighborhood children
whom she loved as if they were her own.
