We asked youngsters visiting the Abington Community Library:
How do you envision Clarks Summit in 100 years.
Alexander Robert Krenitsky, 8,
Clarks Summit, said Clarks Summit
people would all be robots. The
planet would have three suns,
three moons and blue grass.
Susan Dritts, 9, Clarks Summit,
said Clarks Summit would have
new things like flying cars and
airplanes that could walk or a
leaning tower of pizza.
Jacob Weinberg, 10, South Abing-
ton Twp. said people would com-
municate through watches and
candy will be very expensive.
C
entennial Day co-
chair, Julia Munley,
an attorney with
Munley & Cartwright, said
the upcoming
Centennial
weekend will
have a com-
munity carni-
val atmosphere
and will be
the highlight
of the year-
long Clarks
Summit Cen-
tennial Cele-
bration.
There will
be no shortage
of fun August
26 and 27 as
the weekend
gets underway
with the Rag-
time Rumble
reception Fri-
day evening
from 6 to 8
p.m. at Nichols Village

mit. Attendees are invited
to wear a period costume if
they choose and spend the
evening mingling with
friends and neighbors. Cel-
ebrate the boroughs 100th
birthday with a cocktail
and enjoy the
fare from a
variety of local

cluding Nichols

Tickets for Ragtime
Rumble Centennial Party
August 26 are $20 and
Much has changed in Clarks
Summit during the past 100 years
and much has stayed the same.
Gone is the splendor of the Come-
rford Theatre. There are no longer
hearty greetings at Keens Pharma-
cy soda bar or the buzz of the
Northern Electric trolley.
But pedestrians can still expect a
greeting froma passerby, be it a
friend or stranger. Its no surprise to
wake on a snowy morning to find
the walk already shoveled by a
neighbor. The business district and
school systemstill thrive. There is
an unparalleled spirit of patriotism
and community that champions
veterans monuments, libraries and
parks, civic activities and places of
worship. That character can be
seen in streets lined with American
flags, lawns decorated for the holi-
days and a procession of parades,
festivals and events.
Time marches on but the in-
spiration for progress from100
years ago to today still remains
as Clarks Summit and its neigh-
boring communities forge a path
into the next century.
The Abington Journal invites the
community to visit our open house
Aug. 27 from10 a.m. to1p.m.
during the celebration.

A Commemorative Blood Drive will be hosted by the Clarks Summit Fire Company, 321
Bedford Street, on Saturday Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. It is being held in remem-
brance of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001 and in recognition of all who serve and protect us
every day.
The need for blood is constant, and blood levels remain in a critically low condition through-
out the area. However, just one pint of donated blood can save up to three lives.
If you are looking for a meaningful way to remember those who died, whether busboys,
bankers, airline passengers, police officers or firefighters, or a tangible way to recognize and
honor our military and other front-line responders, what better way than to donate your blood
to help save anothers life?

EDITORS NOTE
Editor,
This year, there are three
candidates for school direc-
tor at-large: Mike Fleming,
Frank Santoriello and Tom
Brogan.
Mr. Brogan is the union
candidate. I say the union
candidate for the following
reasons: Until recently he
was a member of the AHEA
union leadership and chair-
man of the grievance com-
mittee, filing grievances and
bringing the school district to
court on behalf of the union,
costing taxpayer dollars in
the process. During the pri-
mary in May, phone calls in
support of Mr. Brogan appar-
ently came from the local
AHEA union and the state
PSEA teachers union. These
are the organizations that
have endorsed Mr. Brogan.
As a society, we rail at the
thought of special interests
influencing all levels of our
political systems. Do we
want the AHEA Union lead-
ership to have this type of
access to a local decision-
making entity with such a
direct impact on our commu-
nity?
You will meet the candi-
dates around town and you
should ask questions ques-
tions especially on the candi-
dates views, positions and
bodies of work over time in
the district. It can be an in-
dicator of their future ac-
tions. I believe that Mr. Bro-
gan has a body of work that
does not lend itself to garner
your vote. Please ask him the
following:
1) Why did he participate
in the strikes against Abing-
ton Heights School District?
The boards approval of the
current contract, in 2007,
was the first time since 1985
that Mr. Brogan and the
union did not strike while in
the midst of contract negotia-
tions.
2) Does he support the
unions position of not taking
a one-year pay freeze for
20112012, but asking ap-
prox. $ 9.8 million in in-
creases over 5 years? The
equivalent of 47.76 mils of
tax increases. 3) Should the
union contribute to their
health insurance premiums?
4) How can he separate the
interest of the union lead-
ership from that of the dis-
trict? I believe that with the
unions support of his candi-
dacy he cannot.
I am a director on the
board and running for re-
election. I have formed a
ticket with Mr. Mike Flem-
ing for the upcoming elec-
tion. While Mike and I do
not agree on every issue, we
are like-minded in that we
want to maintain or improve
the districts high quality of
education at a fair value to
the taxpayers. We have no
hidden agendas. We will
work our best to be outstand-
ing stewards of your money
and the Abington Heights
School District.
Frank Santoriello
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor:
I would like to offer a
thank you to the NEPA
Miners for helping make
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Affiliate of the Pancreatic
Cancer Action Networks
Second Annual Pancreatic
Cancer Awareness Night
July 17 a tremendous suc-
cess.
With the support of the
NEPA Miners organiza-
tion and the fans who
came out to support our
efforts, we were able to
raise much needed aware-
ness about pancreatic can-
cer, share our personal
stories as volunteers who
have been affected by this
horrible disease but most
importantly continue our
efforts in creating hope in
finding a cure for pan-
creatic cancer.
It is through events like
Pancreatic Cancer Aware-
ness Night with the NEPA
Miners that we can make
a difference in this fight.
Thank you again to all of
those involved, and we
look forward to our Third
Annual Pancreatic Cancer
Awareness Night next
year.
Pancreatic cancer is the
fourth leading cause of
cancer death in the United
States, with just six per-
cent of patients surviving
more than five years. De-
spite these terrifying sta-
tistics the National Can-
cer Institute (NCI) only
allocates two percent of
its research funding to
pancreatic cancer.
More funding needs to
be allocated to finding a
cure, and on July 17 we
took another step in the
right direction by educat-
ing the public on the need
to continue to raise
awareness throughout our
community about this
disease.
November is Pancreatic
Cancer Awareness Month
and the volunteers
throughout our area will
continue our efforts to
fight pancreatic cancer
throughout our communi-
ty. To learn more about
the Scranton/W-B Affil-
iate of the Pancreatic
Cancer Action Network
and ways you can join the
fight against pancreatic
cancer, please visit Pan-

State Police forensic team drives into the scene of a fatal plane crash
several hundred yards off Creek Road in Ransom Twp. in Lackawanna
County on Aug. 17. A section of Creek Road in Ransom Township,
Lackawanna County, was closed by state police investigating a plane
crash that killed the 67-year-old pilot.
RANSOMTWP. - A Lacka-
wanna County man was killed
when his Ultralight aircraft
crashed in a wooded area off
Creek Road on Aug. 17 ap-
proximately 300 yards from
the roadway, according to
state police.
The Lackawanna County
Coroners Office identified
the man as William Spear, 67.
An autopsy was completed by
Lackawanna County Coroner
Tim Rowland, who said the
cause of death was multiple
traumatic injuries, and the
manor of death accidental.
State police at Dunmore
said the plane went down
August 17 in the woods ap-
proximately 300 yards from
Creek Road at about 6:10
p.m.
Spear was transported to
the Community Medical Cen-
ter, Scranton, where he died
from injuries suffered in the
accident.
The National Transporta-
tion Safety Board and the
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration were called to the
scene for investigation.
Arlene Salac, an FAA spo-
keswoman, said there was
only one person on board the
aircraft.
The FAA will have in-
vestigators on the scene, she
said, adding, The NTSB is
the ultimate agency that is
going to determine the
cause.
According to Nicholas
Worrell of the NTSB, the
on-scene part of the investiga-
tion has been completed and
a report will be released with-
in 10 to 20 business days,
followed by a final report
when the investigation is
complete, which normally
takes six months to a year.
The aircraft was a Chal-
lenger II manufactured in
1992 by the Quad City Ultra-
light Corp. The fixed-wing,
single-engine plane was clas-
sified as an experimental
aircraft and amateur built.
William and Beverly
Brown, who live near the
crash site, thought their prop-
erty might be in danger.
It was coming down right
near our house about 100-300
feet away, William Brown
said. The plane was sputter-
ing really bad, the motor
revved up high and the plane
shot straight up into the air.
After it shot up, we heard it
crash into the trees about 15
seconds later. It was very
close to the house, we thought
it might crash into our garage
or house, but the pilot was
able to get it off the ground
again unfortunately he
couldnt save it.
The FAA registry listed the
aircraft as registered to Spear,
of Ransom Road, Ransom
Township.

Rushefski said that while
Locker was a senior at Lacka-
wanna Trail, he and two other
students requested permission
of Rushefski to dedicate their
senior project to refurbishing the
schools weight room. Rushefski
added that four years later the
benches they painted and equip-
ment the covered is still in good
condition. They worked really
hard. They did a first-class job.
Locker was a student and
football player at Lackawanna
College. According to the
schools website, Locker was a
freshman offensive lineman
during the 2010-11season. The
college posted the following to
its Facebook page Friday after-
noon: The Lackawanna Col-
lege family would like to ex-
press condolences to the family
of student-athlete Kyle Locker
who passed away in a car acci-
dent this morning. We are all
saddened by the loss of a fellow
Falcon. Grief counselors are
available to students in the Stu-
dent Affairs office.
Asource close to the family
who wished to remain anony-
mous said that, as a youth,
Locker was a Cub Scout with
Pack 21in Dickson City.
Trooper Thomas J. Krem-
pasky said that the crash oc-
curred as the vehicle, traveling
north on the Exit 188 on-ramp
lost control while negotiating a
right curve in the roadway. He
stated that in doing so, the vehi-
cle traveled off the roadway and
struck a light pole with its right
side. Both Locker and Barrett
did not have seat belts in use,
according to police. Pezak, who
received moderate injuries and
McManus, who received serious
injuries, were both wearing seat
belts. According to police, a
preliminary investigation re-
vealed that alcohol was a con-
tributing factor in the crash.
Anyone with information is
asked to contact Pennsylvania
State Police at Dunmore at
570.963.3156.
Lockers funeral will be held

On August 24 at noon,
the Waverly Community
House will hold a ground-
breaking ceremony on the
back lawn to commemorate
the first day of the Comms
Playground Project Re-
build. The public is in-
vited. The Waverly Com-
munity House is located at
1115 North Abington Road
in Waverly.
According to Executive
Director, when the play-
ground at The Comm was
inspected several safety
regulations were found; the
wood was splintering, and
new safety codes have been
put into effect after the
playground had been built
in 1990.
The restoration will be to
increase visibility of the
playground and redo the
woodwork. While it will be
an updated version with
polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
on the deck and handrails
and arsenic-free pressure-
treated wood, the layout
will remain the same.

Ranakoski faces charges
that include homicide by
vehicle, aggravated assault,
possession of a controlled
substance, driving under the
influence of alcohol or con-
trolled substance, driving
vehicle at safe speed and
driving while operating privi-
lege is suspended or revoked,
according to a criminal com-
plaint filed with District
Magistrate James Gibbons.
Ranakoski and his attorney
Gerald Karam declined to
comment on the case.
Deputy District Attorney
Robert Klein commented on
concerns about the delay in
charges being filed.
We did a thorough in-
vestigation and had an acci-
dent reconstruction done,
Klein said. We filed the
appropriate charges and the
preliminary hearing will be
the next step in the case
We relied on the expertise of
the state police who did the
reconstruction.
According to Klein, there
will be other charges coming
forward. There are juvenile
petitions that will be filed
and the other adult in the car,
Patrick Molnar, will be
charged with simple posses-
sion of a controlled sub-
stance.
Ranakoski was given a
three- day voluntary surren-
dering period to police after
the charges were filed. Ac-
cording to Klein, it was done
as a scheduling matter to
make sure the Common-
wealth was present for the
arraignment and the bail
conditions.
Its just the way the case
has worked out, Klein said.
No two cases are alike. Our
thoughts are prayers are with
the family. Its just unfathom-
able what its like to lose a
22-month -old. I cant even
wrap my head around that.
Our sympathies go out to the
family. We hope they can
find the strength to go on
every day.
Court papers allege that
marijuana may have played a
part in the accident. Klein
did not comment directly on
this case, but talked about the
dangers of young people
driving under the influence
of drugs or alcohol.
We wont comment on
any details of the case while
its ongoing. But generally
speaking, any time that any
type of illegal substance, or
for that matter when a young
person is using alcohol and
compound it by getting be-
hind the wheel of a vehicle,
nothing good can ever come
from that, Klein said.
Ranakoski was allegedly
smoking marijuana while
driving May 9, according to
police reports and blood
analysis reports. At that time
his vehicle rear-ended a Jeep
on Dark Region Road, occu-
pants in the Jeep were An-
drew Carullo, 25, of Scran-
ton; Ashley Jennifer Hazel-
ton, 21, of Scranton, who was
driving and her child, Cole.
According to police, Cole
Hazelton died as a result of
the collision and subsequent
fire. At that time Carullo and
Ashley Jennifer Hazelton
received severe burns and
were life-flighted from Com-
munity Medical Center in
Scranton to the Lehigh Val-
ley Medical Center.
The preliminary hearing
will held Sept. 1 at 9:15 a.m.
Bail was set a $50,000
straight bail. If Ranakoski is
capable of posting bail, there
are several conditions that
would kick in, including
abstaining from drugs and
alcohol through a color mon-
itoring system, avoiding con-
tact with the victims or co-
defendants, refraining from
driving a vehicle and agree-
ing not to commit any further
crimes.
At Lackawanna County
Central Court, Aug. 11 it was
stated that Ranakoski is not
expected to post bail and his
arraignment and he will be
remanded to the Lackawanna
County Prison.

many complications. He
needed meds to keep his
blood pressure up. He was
on complete life support.
It was to the point where
they told us if they didnt see
a change in 24 hours after
the third day, we would have
to consider pulling the plug.
We even had a priest give
himanointing of the sick.
Then, in the next 24 hours,
he moved his arm, Morris
paused. Fromthat moment
on we continued with treat-
ment.
Treatment meant eventu-
ally transferring to the Chil-
drens Hospital in Philadel-
phia. According to Ralphies
mother, he could not sit up,
swallowhe did nothing.
He had no control over his
bodily functions. The phys-
ical therapy, occupational
therapy and speech therapy
continued seven days a
week. They actually gave
hima medication to bring
himout of the coma. One
that helps children become
more aware of whats around
them. When he reached the
point where he was actually
looking around, they started
himon Ridalin to help with
his attention span.
Finally, he started to talk
and swallow. It literally was
like himlearning his first
words all over again, Morris
said. Ralphie could not move
his right side at all, and it
became apparent where the
damage was not repairing.
When he left Childrens
Hospital, he wasnt walking
independently. He could
walk if somebody was guid-
ing himand use a wheel-
chair. Over the course of
time, Ralphie relearned
everything, and with the help
of a specially made leg brace
could walk independently.
But, using his right hand is
still a challenge. Which is
where the SaeboFlex comes
into play.
According to Ralphies
mother, his occupational
therapist thought the Sae-
boFlex might be the answer
despite the fact it was used
for adults and they didnt
knowif there was one small
enough. Ralphie is on his
second SaeboFlex over the
last two plus years and he
said, Imtrying to eat food
with it nowlike pretzels and
grahamcrackers. With Sae-
CLARKSSUMMIT- For
Margie Morris, the Sae-
boFlex has been just another
in a long line of miracles.
The SaeboFlex allows indi-
viduals suffering fromneur-
ological impairments such as
stroke the ability to incorpo-
rate their hand functionally
in therapy and at home by
supporting the weakened
wrist, hand and fingers. The
SaeboFlex is a customfab-
ricated orthosis that is non-
electrically based and is
purely mechanical, Public
Relations Specialist for Al-
lied Services Foundation
Julie Judge explained.
What is unique in Margies
case is that the SaeboFlex is
being used by her soon-to-be
12-year-old son, Ralphie
Morris.
Back in December of
2007, Margie and her family
were involved in a car acci-
dent. Ralphie and his broth-
er, Matthew, actually hit
heads. Fromthe moment of
the accident, Ralphie was
unconscious. He was alive
and his brother was critically
injured. His sister and myself
were OK. We went to CMC
where we were flown to
Geisinger in Danville. Mat-
thewneeded surgery to sur-
vive. He did well and has
fully recovered. Its really
remarkable, Morris said.
Ralphie, however, had a
fractured skull bleeding
throughout his entire brain
both sides of his brain. He
was in a coma and complete-
ly unresponsive. He had
bo, I can do it. I can even
pick up a teeny tiny peg with
the Saebo on.
Fromthe time Ralphie
started using the Saebo, his
mother said he can open his
hand up and release an ob-
ject. He can not do it without
the device. Emotionally, for
him, its like I can do this and
maybe theres hope he will
eventually without his Sae-
bo. But, for now, its an
amazing process. Hes an
amazing kid. Hes still play-
ing the piano with his one
hand and will continue to try
with both hands, Morris
said. Allied Services offers
screenings for the Saebo-
Flex. Saebos pioneering
treatment principles are
based on the latest advances
in neurorehabilitation re-
search documenting the
brains ability to re-pro-
gram itself through mass
practice, task oriented arm
training. The SaeboFlex
takes advantage of the most
recent research by allowing
patients to immediately
begin using their hand for
functional grasp and release
activities. Individuals up to
20 years post neurological
injury can benefit fromthe
SaeboFlex. In addition the
ability to use the hand in
therapy and at home has
been reported as extremely
motivating during the recov-
ery process, Julie Judge
explained.
Screenings and fittings are
available through Allied
Rehab in Scranton. For more

CLARKS GREEN- This
months meeting of the Clarks
Green Borough Council Aug.
8 was continued to Aug. 22 to
vote on Resolution 1-2011. The
resolution concerns Act 537,
the Pennsylvania Sewage Fa-
cilities Act, which provides
various plans for maintaining
the communitys sewers and
long term needs of the waste-
water treatment facility. The
plan is part of the Abington
Regional Wastewater Author-
itys new facility that serves
Clarks Green, Clarks Summit,
and South Abington.
Before passing the resolu-
tion, council heard from David
Gromelski, the Clarks Green
representative to the Authority.
He addressed the concerns of
council member, Lynne Earley
about tapping fees, Marcellus
Shale fracking water, as well
as the possibility of other com-
munities eventually being
included in the Authority.
Gromelski confirmed that a
tapping fee for communities
being added to the system was
now in place. He stated that it
was a possibility that in the
future other communities
could be added but that they
would be required to pay the
tapping fee upon joining. He
also addressed the issue of the
Authority not bidding out the
building plans and explained
that he felt it was a wise deci-
sion to for the Authority to
choose a company they were
already familiar with and the
bidding process was better
invested in the actual construc-
tion of the plant.
After discussing these issues
the council voted four to two
to pass the resolution. Council
member Victor Alberigi voted
in favor but with reluctance, as
he said he would have pre-
ferred the building plans to
have been bid out. Council
woman Jill Shanrock voted
against the resolution because
she was not part of the council
when they first joined the
Authority and began discuss-
ing the plant. Council also
voted on sending a letter to the
Authority stating their prefer-
ence that the plant not treat
fracking water any time in the
future.
This Aug. 8 meeting fea-
tured a visit from Senator John
Blake .
The senator brought up the
Marcellus Shale drilling, call-
ing it forefront and center
and predicted debates on the
subject when he returns to
Harrisburg in September.
Council member Marnie O
Dea Palmer said, Our con-
cern is damage that will be
done to roads and who will
pay for it. Blake added that
these along with frost and
thaw affects on the roads were
issues were problems that are
distinctive to Northeastern
Pennsylvania.

CLARKS SUMMIT - Its
time for farmers to enjoy
the fruits (and vegetables)
of their labor and sell
some of them to the com-
munity. The Abington
Farmers Market in South
Abington Township and
Essential Eating Farmers
Market in Chinchilla sell
a fistful of fruit and a
variety of vegetables and
more. Each market fea-
tures five stands.
First a view of the
South Abington Twp.
offerings.
Ken Ayers, owner of
Ayers Orchard located in
Milwaukee, has 600 trees
in his farm. Therefore, he
has the ability to grow 20
types of apples, pears,
peaches and plums. They
could be found at the
farmers market, along
with sweet corn, potatoes
and apple cider. Ayers
runs the stand with his
wife Christina and daugh-
ter-in-law Tania Ayers. He
has been vending since
the markets beginning.
Michelle LaCoe from

DALTON- At the Dalton
Borough Council meeting
held Aug.11, trumpeter Jesse
Morvan and tenor sax Richard
Pollock were recognized for
achievements they earned a
few months ago. During the
June meeting, Morvan and
Pollock performed with their
instruments. They received
plaques awarded by Mayor
James Gray.
Morvan earned his plaque
for Second Place Achievement
in the state. Pollock earned his
for First Place Achievement in
the state. They are Lackawan-
na Trail Jr. /Sr. High School
students.
In other business, council
member Bill Montgomery
read aloud from a letter writ-
ten by Council President Bill
Salva regarding the prospect
of acquiring a new truck body
on the dump truck. We made
a payment on that, said Mont-
gomery. The body is being
supplied with the truck bed
and all the details that go with
it, and it will be some time in
October. Montgomery added
that Salva requested disposal
plans for of the old truck.
Montgomery mentioned
that in July, the board dis-
cussed the Stormwater Man-
agement Ordinance. What
John (Dalton Borough engi-
neer John Seamans) suggested
is that we adopt Lackawanna
Countys ordinance.
Board member Lorraine
Daniels told Montgomery that
Dalton is in the Susquehanna
area. Montgomery replied, At
any rate, instead of Lackawan-
na, were going to look at a
less complex one (ordinance)
that fits our needs.

VISIONS OF THE FUTURE
Hover-mobiles zoomed past me
as I tried to cross the busy path. My
mother had told me how100 years
agao (she is 112) cars roamed the
streets, going only 30 miles per
hour. Now, hover-mobiles travel 150
miles per hour. Also there is only a
recorded 5 to 8 crashes each year
statewide. People now live longer
because scientests found out how to
unlock healthier parts of the brain.
Now since wasteful factories were
torn down and more jobs created,
the unemployed are only .001% of
Americas population. People in
Clarks Summit have finally mas-
tered going green and as our sym-
bol, all of the buildings were painted
green. A red light stopped hover-
mobiles and I crossed the street.
Traffic started again as soon as I
reached the other side. I smiled as I
touched the side of the fire station.
The walls were made of recycled
metals. My mother had showed me
a picture of Clarks Summit when
she was growing up Some places
were the same, but a whole lot had
changed.
CLARKS SUMMIT 2111
BY ALISON KANE, 12
Can you imagine what Clarks
Summit will be like in a century?
Would we recognize it as the same
town? I believe that in one hundred
years Clarks Summit will have
changed greatly! In one hundred
years, there would still be streets on
which solar-powered cars would
drive. However, most people will ride
in the subway system. Another
option would be complimentary
rickshaws. A monorail will span the
area where Freedom Bridge and
stood. Stores in a century will be in
buildings made of thick glass. Res-
taurants will serve foods such as
scrambled rattlesnake eggs and
octopus wings. Some of the bever-
ages will be carrot and asparagus
juice. All electricity will be replaced
by solar and wind power. The ice
sculptures for the Ice Festival will be
carved by extremely powerful laser
beams. In the winter, people will stay
warm with their clothing that is
made from fibers that adjust to the
climate. At playgrounds the equip-
ment will have an emphasis on
healthy living and exercising. In the
library, most of the books would be
on electronic devices to conserve
the use of paper; although, there
will still be a selection of printed
books for those who prefer them. So
what will Clarks Summit be like in a
century? The possibilities are end-
less. I don know, however, that
Clarks Summit will still be a great
place to live.

ily on Saturday. We are en-
couraging people to come in
period dress encompassing
the Roaring Twenties, flap-
pers, 30s, 40s or 50s
She added, This would
never have taken place with-
out the support and the hard
work of the Centennial com-
mittee members. My co-chair
is Barbara Evans, who is a
council woman and librarian
at The University of Scran-
ton. Our committee is com-
prised of brilliant people who
are bringing the talents of
their own businesses to the
table. We have a great histori-
an who has led us through
this whole year: Dennis Mar-
tin.
In addition to Munley and
Evans, involved in planning
the Centennial Celebration on
Saturday are Rosangela de-
Freitas, Linda Besten and
Annette Kalwaytis, who are
the hostesses for this Centen-
nial Celebration. Ellen
Beechko and Lorraine Durkin
are the hostesses for Ragtime
Rumble to be held Friday
evening.
Its all about our people.
Its really grassroots and its
about each decade that has
made up the history and the
really important points in
time that the borough and the
entire Northeast Pa. have
gone through and experienced
including all of the wars from
WWI up until the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars. Everybody
is involved, said Munley.
Radio personality John
Pullo, will be on hand to
emcee both the Ragtime
Rumble and Centennial..
At Centennial Day, attend-
ees will find a variety of food
and craft vendors as well as
fine artists selling their
wares.

Jerry Tunney, a 16-year-old
aspiring racecar driver, as
well as horses from Marleys
Mission. Stop by the second
floor of the Borough Building
for a few rounds of Bingo
from 1 to 5 p.m.
With this economy we
have, I think that this is just
the thing that people are
looking to do today - these
kinds of grassroots communi-
ty activities that are family
appropriate and you can have
a lot of fun seeing your
neighbors. Have lunch and
dinner here (at Centennial
Day).
Musical entertainment will
be provided, including local
entertainer Bill Frye, who

Divorce is an emotionally
challenging time. Even
though you are working
through your feelings there
is one area of your life that
you should not neglect
your financial life. Whether
you have been married for
five years or 25 years, the
financial implications of
divorce need to be ad-
dressed.
Hiring a lawyer is the
first thing you will want to
do when you begin the di-
vorce process. While a law-
yer is not a requirement in
divorce proceedings, having
legal counsel is the best
way to look out for your
financial interests. If you
dont have the money to pay
for a lawyer (perhaps be-
cause your spouse was the
higher wage earner) you
can petition the court and
ask for your estranged
spouse to pay your legal
bills.
Some divorces will be
relatively simple in terms of
financial settlement. If the
couple was married for only
a short time, has no chil-
dren, or doesnt own a
house then the financial
outcome will be easy to
work out. If there were chil-
dren from the marriage,
property is owned, or if one
spouse stayed out of the
workforce to care for the
home and children then the
financial settlement can
become more complicated.
Child Support
When a couple with chil-
dren divorces, one of the
first issues that needs to be
decided is who will have
custody. Custody can be
awarded to one or both of
the parents. Depending on
what parent has primary
custody, child support can
be awarded. Child support
is defined as financial pay-
ments made by the non-
custodial parent to the cus-
todial parent to provide for
the needs of the child or
children.
Child support is deter-
mined by a number of fac-
tors. Many states have gui-
delines for determining how
much child support needs
to be paid. The amount of
child support that is paid
can also be based on each
parents income, the per-
centage of time the child
spends with each parent,
the number of children
from the marriage, and
whether or not alimony is
paid to the former spouse.
Child support payments
are meant to provide for the
basic necessities of the
child food, clothing, shel-
ter, and so on. Other ex-
penses such as school tui-
tion, medical insurance, or
dental work also need to be
considered. These types of
expenses can be addressed
in the child support order.
Since it is hard to anticipate
future expenses for your
children, consultation with
an experienced divorce law-
yer is important. Your at-
torney can make sure that
your financial interests
(whether as the custodial or
non-custodial parent) are
considered and protected in
the child support order.
It is important to note
that there are tax implica-
tions associated with child
support, both for the person
who pays it and for the per-
son who receives it. I
strongly recommend work-
ing with an experienced tax
professional as well to help
you navigate through this
process.
Alimony
Alimony is a financial
payment made to a former
spouse under a divorce
agreement in an attempt to
maintain the pre-divorce
lifestyle. Alimony is also
called maintenance or spou-
sal support and is based on
both the ability to pay and
the other partys need for
financial support. Alimony
is determined by state law,
so consultation with a law-
yer is essential to make sure
your interests are protected.
The court will decide
whether or not alimony is
to be awarded. The criteria
that the court can use to
make the decision include:
Need. Does the recipient
spouse have enough money
to take care of basic needs
for him or herself, such as
food, clothing and shelter?
Ability to Pay. Can the
paying spouse afford to pay
what is needed and still
have enough money left
over to meet his or her ba-
sic needs and have a life-
style that is somewhat simi-
lar to his or her pre-divorce
lifestyle.?
Prior Lifestyle. Courts
will look at the lifestyle a
requesting spouse had be-
fore the divorce. If the cou-
ple had a high income and
lived an extravagant life-
style then that is going to
be taken into consideration
when the amount of alimo-
ny is decided.
Length of Marriage. The
longer a marriage lasts
means more sacrifice and
dependency of a spouse and
possibly the sacrifice of one
career for the care of chil-
dren and the home. The
longer a marriage the more
likely alimony will be or-
dered.
There are different types
of alimony. Since you cant
determine the future con-
sultation with your attorney
is key when determining
the amount of alimony pay-
ments. There are different
types of alimony, including:
Temporary, also known as
rehabilitative, meant to pro-
vide financial support for a
specified amount of time to
an ex-spouse until he or she
can get back on his or her
feet.
Permanent, meaning there
is no time limit to alimony
payments.
Modifiable, which means
that payments can be in-
creased, decreased or termi-
nated based on a change in
circumstances.
Non-Modifiable, meaning
payments continue for the
specified amount of time no
matter the circumstances.
There are tax implications
to alimony, for both the
paying and recipient par-
ties. Working with an expe-
rienced tax professional is
important if you receive or
pay out alimony.
Getting a divorce can be a
very difficult time in your
life. In order to get your
financial life back on track
it is important to consult
with experienced and qual-
ified legal and tax profes-
sionals.

The signs that are legiti-

STOP signs and yellow
hazard signs, have already
been taken care of by us-
ing a new high reflectivity
sign.
There is another solution
for street signs that have
low visibility. PennDOT
has approved a street sign
that is reflective with six
inch letters that mounts on
top of a STOP sign; James
believes this is an effective
fix for some signs.
Most municipalities have
said no to change their

too expensive; the date to
change the signs is 2018.

SCRANTON With only
17 days until the academic
year begins, representatives
from local school districts
attended a state House
Democratic Policy Com-
mittee hearing at Scranton
High School on Aug. 16 to
discuss the damage they
said was caused by cuts to
public education in Gov.
Tom Corbetts 2011 budget.
Not one of the Demo-
crats on Tuesdays panel,
which has been traveling
around the state gathering
testimony, voted for the
Republican-backed budget,
and school officials made it
abundantly clear that they,
too, were not in favor of the
drastic reductions in state
funding.
The American way of
life, our great democracy, is
predicated on a literate
people. Today, as never
before, theres an effort to
destroy a childs right to a
free public education in this
country, and that is what
brings us here today, said
Rosemary Boland, presi-
dent of the Scranton Feder-
ation of Teachers.
This budget put out by
Gov. Corbett is a direct
assault, an attack, on the
children and the future
taxpayers of this area and
across the Common-
wealth, agreed Scranton
School District Superin-
tendent William King.
The goal here is to end
public education as we
know it.
Locally, the Scranton
School District suffered the
most with $5.5 million in
cuts, or $10,000 per class-
room and $602 per student.
Tutoring programs, the
School Age Mothers pro-
gram, Fast ForWord Read-
ing program, SAVES pro-
gram, and many others are
simply gone, King said. He
also listed the absence of
an $897,000 grant that
funded an all-day kinder-
garten program, $495,858
for an educational assist-
ance program for after-
school tutoring, $286,015
for a charter school pro-
gram, and $3,809,249 from
the basic education subsidy.
The all-day kindergarten
program, which has run for
more than 30 years, was
saved, King said, because
70 teachers retired and cuts
to other programs were
made.
He believes that the bud-
get was a direct attack on
the poor of the city, saying
that in Scranton, 61 percent
of kids are economically
disadvantaged, 17.5 percent
of students are labeled as
special needs children, and
7 percent are learning En-
glish as a second language.
While Scranton High
School was honored by
Newsweek as one of the
best high school in country,
under No Child Left Be-
hind, it was labeled as a
failing school. King said
the school had the highest
PSSA math scores of any
urban school district in the
state and the third highest
reading scores of 11th
grade urban districts.
They say that were not
getting the job done. Well
guess what? We are getting
the job done.
Struggle outside Scranton
Even the Abington
Heights School District, the
most affluent school dis-
trict in the region serving
about 35,000 students, saw
a 25 percent, or more than
$1 million, reduction in
state funding. The district
eliminated 12 teaching
positions through attrition,
cut two librarians and com-
puter teachers, six ele-
mentary positions, and
about 4.5 percent of profes-
sional staff altogether.
Abington Heights also
re-bid its insurance, elim-
inated overtime, and cut
supplies and field trips to
save money, Superintend-
ent Michael Mahon ex-
plained. He said that future
pension obligations are a
primary concern in the
future, paying $960,000 in
employee contributions for
teachers and staff in the
2011-2012 school year
alone a crushing future
obligation that will abso-
lutely undermine our abil-
ity to function.
I am not concerned for
the 2011-12 academic
year. We have great
teachers, we have great
families, we have great
community, and we will do
well in 2011-2012. Howev-
er, I am frightened over the
future, Mahon said. Its a
very easy year compared to
what is coming.
With 75 percent of the
districts funding coming
from local real estate taxes,
he noted that citizens can-
not absorb additional tax
increases and the same cuts
cannot be made again.
We are on an unsustain-
able path now, he stressed.

The Abington Heights
School District is considering
reinstating supplemental in-
surance for athletes.
In years past, the district
had purchased supplemental
insurance for $15,000 a year.
Abington Heights decided
earlier this month not to pur-
chase it this year, but the idea
of bringing it back was the
main topic of discussion dur-
ing the school boards month-
ly meeting held on Wednes-
day, Aug.17.
The supplemental insurance
program covered all student
athletes and band members.
If any of those participants
were injured, their familys
insurance was their primary
policy, and supplemental in-
surance would have covered
some secondary expenses.
The decision not to pur-
chase the supplemental insur-
ance this year was based
somewhat on the fact that
parents have the opportunity
to purchase supplemental
insurance on a voluntary basis
on their own, regardless of
whether their child participa-
tes in athletics.
The district was under the
impression this supplemental
insurance available for parents
to purchase would cover stu-
dents while they were partici-
pating in athletic events.
Based on this, the coaches
were told, and a letter was
issued to the parents, that the
district would not be purchas-
ing the insurance this year.
Since that time, the insur-
ance company called us and
said while it is true everyone
can purchase supplemental
insurance in the district on a
voluntary basis, it would not
cover the students while play-
ing football, explained Su-
perintendent Michael Mahon.
Additionally, Mrs. (Car-
olyn) Langan did a thumbnail
survey of other schools, and
we find that other schools by
and large do have this insur-
ance. And, we would be the
exception not the rule if we
did not purchase this insur-
ance.
After presenting this new
information, Mahon asked
whether or not the board felt
the district should reinstate the
insurance.
I have a problem with
dropping it for our athletes. I
think if were going to have
athletics, I think we need to
provide for the students,
which is consistent with what
other districts are doing, said
board treasurer Louise Brzu-
chalski.
Several board members
echoed Brzuchalskis senti-
ments, but questioned exactly
what the policy covers, and if
they could get a better offer
from a different provider.
Mahon said he would look
into and send that information
to the board before moving
forward.
In other business, Mahon
announced that Business Ad-
ministrator Carolyn Langan
intends to retire at the conclu-
sion of the calendar year.
The district plans on begin-
ning the process of finding a
replacement for her shortly.
And, a back-to-school carni-
val is being planned by the
Abington Heights High
School National Honor Socie-
ty at the high school, sched-
uled tentatively for Friday,
Sept. 9.
The school board will meet
again for its monthly work
session on Wednesday, Sept.
7.

Regarding the Clarks Summit
Centennial celebration, Mildred
OHara of Clarks Summit, said,
Its great to think Ive lived that
long to celebrate the 100th birth-
day. I think its nice because my
grandson will be involved in the
Centennial. I feel Im lucky to be
here. There are changes all over
the place: the roads, the houses
and the traffic. When I moved up
here once in a while youd see a
carThis road down here was
dirt and when I came up here,
there were no houses, said
OHara.
In fact, in her late husband Carl
OHaras boyhood days the whole
area of Edella Road, Clarks Sum-
mit, was an orchard and Carl and
his siblings rode bikes and played
in that area.

Families share generations of Clarks Summit memories
A
ccording to a recent account written by Dick Lewis, who
presently resides in Hiawassee, Ga., and is the son of the
late L. Roy Lewis, J. Verne Lewis was described as a ro-
mantic who succumbed to the love of flying. His brother, L. Roy
Lewis, graduated with top honors from Lehigh University in 1919
with a degree in engineering.
J. Verne Lewis originally
founded the Lewis Motor
Company in Clarks Sum-
mit. During the early years
of the business when J.
Verne Lewis operated it by
himself, their mother, Eva
Lewis, urged her younger
son L. Roy Lewis to leave
his job in New York to join
J. Verne Lewis at the grow-
ing car dealership. Eventu-
ally L. Roy Lewis would
become a partner, according
to Rick Holt, grandson of L.
Roy Lewis. The name was
then changed to Lewis
Brothers Motor Company.
In the early days of the
Lewis Brothers they sold
Chevrolets, but in the
mid-1920s, they switched to
Maxwells. Then, in 1927
when Walter P. Chrysler
emerged, L. Roy Lewis
became a Chrysler Ply-

COMMITTEE
Historians James Roland,
Charlie Kumpas, Warren Wat-
kins, Jack Hiddlestone and
Dennis Martin have shared a
wealth of knowledge regard-
ing the history of the borough
of Clarks Summit. Through-
out the course of the centen-
nial celebration, they
have provided in-
formation and sup-
port, as well as vin-
tage photos for related
stories and features
published in The
Abington Journal.
When asked What
are your thoughts
about being part of
the centennial cele-
bration? they had
this to say:
James Roland:
Its bringing back a
lot of memories. I was
raised here in Clarks
Summit and maybe
Im a little prejudiced
but I dont think you
could find a nicer
place in the country to
live. Ive lived here all
my life and the people
in Clarks Summit are
nice. Theres not
much crime at all up
here. It means a lot to
me to be part of the
centennial. We have
three children and six
grandchildren and I
wanted to be part of it
and speak out about
how nice it (Clarks
Summit) is.
Charlie Kumpas:
I enjoy researching
all local history, and
Clarks Summits centennial
has given me the opportunity
to focus on its history. It has
been a pleasure investigating
its history, looking at old pic-
tures loaned to its History
Committee and speaking with
residents who have lived a lot
of its history. Being on the
Centennial Committee, I have
met a lot of new people of the
town and have enjoyed work-
ing with all of them.
Warren Watkins:
Having resided in Clarks
Summit for over 60 years, I
feel its important that I partic-
ipate and be part of the cen-
tennial celebration because of
what the community and its
citizens have done to
make me a better
person and resident.
Living in larger towns
and cities I know what
it is to be just one of
many. However,
Clarks Summit and
the small town atmo-
sphere and closeness
mean a lot to me and
my family. Its time
for me to give back.
What better time for
me to say thank you
than at our 100th anni-
versary. Im glad to
participate and be a
part of the celebration
of small town USA.
Jack Hiddlestone:
My wife and I have
lived in Clarks Sum-
mit for the last 50
years and we cant
imagine living any-
where else. We are
very proud of the
Abingtons and our
Abington Heights
School District. We
are also proud and
honored to be a part
of the Clarks Summit
Centennial Commit-
tee. Three cheers for
all those involved and
for all past and pre-
sent residents who
made this town what it
is today.
Dennis Martin:
The best predictor for the
future is the past. Researching
the people who contributed so
much to the 100-year history
of Clarks Summit gives a
strong sense of optimism for
the next 100 years. It has been
pleasure to do this work.

Local historians share
wealth of knowledge
W
oven throughout the history of Clarks Summit is the diverse legacy of
its places of worship, and five of those that were in existence the year
of its founding still exist today, each playing a unique role in the community
of Clarks Summit.
The oldest, even before Clarks Summit was founded, may come as a sur-
prise to some, as it is often viewed as a newer church in the community be-
cause of its many locations and name changes throughout its history.
Parker Hill Community
Church, 607 North Abington
Rd., began in 1853 when a small
group of people met in the home
of Stephen Parker, one of the
first settlers in the Abingtons,
according to Pastor Mark Fitch,
who has overseen the Adult Min-
istry Team for the past nine
years. He said the original con-
gregation, made up of 25 people,
met for its first worship service
as The Second General Baptist
Church of Abington on March
13, 1853.
Fitch said that in 1965, the
church merged with another
Baptist church in the area and
became the Abington Heights
Baptist Church, which met in a
new facility it built on Noble
Road in South Abington Town-
ship. They eventually sold this
building to Summit Baptist Bible
Church, which currently meets
there.
Fitch said the property the
church currently occupies was
purchased in 1980 from the
great-granddaughter of Parker. It
then became known as Temple
Baptist Church until 1999, when
it again changed its name to
Parker Hill Community Church.
Although the church has been
through many changes during
the years, Fitch said the purpose
of the church has not changed.
The methods must change with
culture, he said, but the mess-
age must never change.
Another church that has seen a
lot of change throughout its his-
tory is the Clarks Summit Unit-
ed Methodist Church
(CSUMC), 1310 Morgan High-
way. Ed Kerber, a member, said
that as Clarks Summit changed,
the churches changed.
Kerber said that what hasnt
changed about CSUMC, howev-
er, are the childrens programs,
which drive the church. Thats
still the heart of the church-
what we do for the children,
he said.
CSUMC began as a Sunday
School on Sept. 17, 1890, when a
group of women met at the Ten-
nant House Hotel. Kerber said
that it was incorporated as a
church in 1892 and its first build-
ing was constructed on Center
Street. The church quickly out-
grew that building however, and
in 1895, a second was built. The
current meeting place on Morgan
Highway was constructed in
1966.
According to Kerber, the
churchs original minister was a
circuit rider, Reverend J.B.
Sweet, who served from1890-
1893. Another core value of
CSUMC, Kerber said, is that it is
a uniting factor in the commu-
nity, bringing together people of
all faiths.
Our Lady of Snows Church,
301 South State St., which cele-
brated its centennial March 1,
also serves to unite and welcome
the community. Carol Salva, a
pastoral associate who has
worked with the catholic church
for 11 years, said, Right from
the beginning, its always been
welcoming Its always been a
collaborative relationship be-
tween the pastors and the peo-
ple.
According to Salva, what start-
ed out in 1899 with 25 charter
members grew into 100 families
by the time of the Depression.
These members foresaw the need
for a new building as the church
continued to grow. So, they
sacrificed during the depression
and built the building and it was
on Zimmerman Street, said
Salva. Then, in 1931, the current
building was constructed.
The rectory, located next to the
church was built in 1977, and
around the same time that reno-

History
On September 7 1890, a Sunday
school was formed at the Tennant
house; that Sunday school later
became a Methodist Church
In 1892, the first church building
was built. The building still stands as
a white house on Center Street
across from UCP
By 1895, the church and town
grew so fast, a second church
building was constructed.
In 1911, Clarks Summit Borough
was incorporated
In 1913, The Clarks Summit
Methodist Church doubled in size.
By 1946, the town was growing
again, so another church building
was planned.
In 1966, a church building was
started on Morgan Highway.
In 1967, a large church building to
serve a vibrant and growing
community was opened.
In the 1990s the Abington
Community Library moved across the
street.

I
f you happened to
live in what is
now the Borough
of Clarks Summit as
far back as the late
1800s, you would
have found a variety
of businesses offering
everything from
goods to services.
One of the earlier
businesses was Bar-
bers Pharmacy, run
by Howard Isby,
which later became
Keens Drug Store
and was located at
312 State St. Accord-
ing to Donald Keen,
whose family owned
the pharmacy for
many years, the phar-
macy got its start in
the late 1800s.
Hotels included the Tennant
Hotel, The Vogelbacker Hotel,
The Rolls Hotel and Finnerty
Hotel, which were all part of
Clarks Summits landscape.
Some of the other busi-
nesses mentioned in the
Clarks Summit: A Narra-
tive, published in 1986 by
Helen R. and John C. Vil-
laume include Fred Clancys
Restaurant, Clancy & Emery
Plumbing, a jewelry store, the
W.S. Bottom Dry Goods Store
and Millers Sweet Shop.
J.W. Bunnell Hardware was
established in 1911 by J.W.
Bunnell. In those days, Bun-
nells carried harnesses, cow
stanchions, plows and milling
equipment.
As noted in the Villaumes
book, in the early 1920s, there
were three chain grocery
stores on Depot Street an
Acme, a second A&P and a
Grand Union.
The Miles Foundry on
Bedford Street owned and
operated by Chester B. (Chet)
Miles, was started by William
Igo in 1928. In 1932, Miles
sold off his truck-hauling
business and purchased the
foundry.
If you were a moviegoer, the
Aljo and Comerford Theaters
were two of Clarks Summits
movie theaters. The Aljo, was
owned and operated by Mr.
Alvord and Mr. Jones, hence
the name Aljo and was pop-
ular to people in the Abing-
tons as well as those who
came to town by way of the
Northern Electric Trolley. As
noted in Villaumes book, the
Comerford Theatre was built
in 1948 on the same sight on
South State Street, where
Citizens Savings Bank corpo-
rate offices are currently lo-
cated.
The oldest home in Clarks
Summit is located on Grove
Street near the current site of
the Abington Community
Library
In 1954 Lawrence E. Young
Sr., bought the funeral busi-
ness from Herman W. Cole,
which gave way to the Law-
rence E. Young Funeral
Home, Inc. located at 418 S.
State Street in Clarks Summit
In 1980, Christopher C.
Calvey joined the family prac-
tice of undertaking at the fu-
neral home on West Market
Street in Scranton and that
same year opened the Jen-
nings -Calvey Funeral Home
in Clarks Summit.
In 1962, Palazzi became the
manager of Palazzi Garden
Center, formerly located on N.
State Street on Routes 6 and 11.

Chances are a resident seeking a
news resource in the borough of
Clarks Summit in the past 100 years
would have found it.
Published in Clarks Summit from
1920 through 1923, Abington Eagle
Clarion offered a glimpse at the
community at a young age by an
editor who was also of a young age:
J.E. Shurtleff. The paper ended its
run when the teenager was a senior
at the Clarks Summit-Clarks Green
Joint High School. The Abington
Community Library has an incom-
plete run of the newspaper from
Dec. 31, 1921 through its last issue.
The paper featured national and
international news and national
advertisements, as well as ad-
vertisements for Scranton concerns.
They were printed on an acidic
paper that is slowly deteriorating.
The library is in the process of
scanning samples of content to be
available in printed form.
In tabloid or broadsheet format,
with pages black and white or color,
The Abington Journal has been
delivering news since 1947. In the 60
years that followed, the newspapers
offices were located at 105 Main
Avenue in Clarks Summit, in Clarks
Green for several years during the
1980s, at 104 South State Street and
211 South State Street in Clarks
Summit, where it operates today.
The Abington Journal, originally
known as the Abington Press, was
financed by Joseph Mann and pub-
lished by William Wignall weekly
from his print shop on Depot Street,
according to Clarks Summit, A
Narrative, by Helen R. Villaume and
John C. Villaume. In 2006, a compa-
ny formed by Richard L. Connor
acquired the Abington Journal as
part of its purchase of The Wilkes-
Barre Times Leader. The new com-
pany, which owns all of the newspa-
pers, is Impressions Media.
For regional events, Happenings,
a magazine with its roots in Clarks
Summit has offered a comprehen-
sive guide to cultural events since
1969. Founded by Tom Reddington,
Jim Eagen and Murray Dolitsky. In
1971, Tom and Ann Reddington
became sole owners of Happenings
until the mid-1990s when Paula
Rochon Mackarey became president.

vations and additions were
being completed around the
church, it opened the
Church of Saint Benedict
in Newton to accommodate
more families within the
growing attendance.
According to Phyllis Ruz-
barsky, who has been a
member of the church since
1983, both Our Lady of the
Snows and Saint Benedict
welcome the community
through family-oriented
events.The First Presby-
terian Church of Clarks
Summit, 300 School St., is
celebrating its centennial as
well. On August 3, 1911, a
small group of woman met
at the home of Mrs. William
Gibbons to organize a Chris-
tian outreach, according to
Jack Pittman, a member.
Pittman said they began
looking into the possibility
of starting a church and
approached the Presbytery
in Towanda to discuss estab-
lishing a Presbyterian
Church in Clarks Summit.
Pittman said the churchs
first congregational meeting
was held on Oct. 11, 1912, in
the Nickelette Building,
which was near what is now
the Citizens Plaza on State
Street. The current location
of the church was acquired
from Nelson N. Nichols and
George H. Nichols in Au-
gust 1913.
The first pastor of First
Presbyterian was Reverend
Hawley Rendell, who served
from1913 to 1916, and the
current one is Reverend
William Carter, who is a
well-known jazz pianist and
has been with the church for
at least 21 years, according
to Pittman.
During the years, the
building has been expanded
multiple times and the
church has gone through
many changes, but Pittman
said that its mission, to pro-
vide varied ways for people
to grow in their faith, has
remained the same. Pittman
described the church as a
Christian family that is
dedicated to helping others.
Its an active, not a dor-
mant church, he said. Peo-
ple get involved and theyre
concerned about others in
the church and the commu-
nity.
Yet another church in
Clarks Summit approaching
its centennial is the Church
of the Epiphany, 1003
Church Hill Rd., founded
Jan. 6, 1912 on the first day
of the Epiphany, a holiday
on the Christian calendar.
Roger Mattes, a member,
said its founding is credited
to Mary Oakfoard, and a
small group that met on the
Epiphany in a transformed
colonial school house..
The first minister was
Curate Houghton Percy, and
currently serving is Father
Craig Sweeny. Mattes said
Houghton was hired in 1919
at a salary of $150 a month.
Mattes said the current
church building has gone
through many renovations
and additions, the largest
change being when Perish
Hall was torn down and a
new one built in 1972. Epi-
phany also built Woodlands
Memorial Gardens, designed
by local architect Howard
Hyde in 1976.
Literally thousands of
people have been baptized in
this church, married in this
church and laid to rest in
this church, said Mattes.
To me, it means every-
thing Its been constant in
my life I cant put into
words what it means to me.
Also worthy of mention is
Clarks Green Assembly of
God Church, which, al-
though no longer located in
Clarks Summit, was found-
ed in Northern Clarks Sum-
mit in 1927, according to
Glenn Jayne Sr., a member.
The mission of the Clarks
Green Assembly of God
Church, according to Jayne,
is the spreading of the gos-
pel, both locally, and world-
wide.
Places of worship founded
in Clarks Summit in more
recent years include Trinity
Lutheran, 205 West Grove
St, 1925; Summit Baptist
Bible Church, 232 Noble
Rd., Oct. 2, 1966; Heritage
Baptist Church, 415 Venard
Rd., September 1968; Coun-
try Alliance Church, 14014
Orchard Dr., Newton Town-
ship/Clarks Summit, 1983;
Evangelical Free Bible
Church of Clarks Summit,
431 Carbondale Rd., 1989;
the Jewish Discovery Cen-
ter, 749 Northern Blvd.,
2003; and Countryside
Community Church, 14001
Church Hill Rd., which was
founded on July 1, 2008 as a
merger of Milwaukee
(1903), Newton (1875), Ran-
som (1899) and Schultzville
(1866) United Methodist
Churches.
Each of these newer
churches plays its own role
in the community, perhaps
one of the most unique be-
ing that of the Jewish Dis-
covery Center. Rabbi Benny
Rapoport said the center is
more than just a place of
worship, also acting as a
center for learning, commu-
nity, cultural planning, and
more.
Our goal is to reach out
and welcome people from
all backgrounds, said Rapo-
port.
And that is what Clarks
Summit is made up of: peo-
ple from all backgrounds,
their lives woven together by
common threads in the com-
munity such as these various
places of worship with their
own diverse backgrounds.
WORSHIP
Continued from Page 14
In the past century, a number of civic
organizations were brought into existence
by volunteers in the community. The fol-
lowing aims to note the establishment of
several.
AbingtonArea Joint Recreation
Established in1972, the Abington Area
Joint Recreation Board (AAJRB) is made
up of 24 municipality representatives, who
have made it their goal to provide quality
outdoor recreational opportunities for the
community.
The board manages the Abington Area
Community Park and was created when the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania deeded
surplus land to the boroughs of Clarks
Green and Clarks Summit and the town-
ships of Abington, Glenburn, South Abing-
ton and nowWaverly.
We try to reach out to all the different
audiences and age ranges, said South
Abington Township representative Caroline
Crowley.
AbingtonBusiness andProfessional
Association
For over 20 years, the Abington Business
and Professional Association , a group
comprised of local businesses, has been
busy coordinating free community events in
the Abingtons that serves as a catalyst to
attract business to the community and pro-
vide the residents of the Abingtons with a
better quality of life.
During the course of the year the non-
profit 501(6) organization hosts the
Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, Men In
Black, Speed Networking, Abington Sum-
merfest &Sidewalk Sale Days, Fall Fun in
the Abington, Annual Holiday Open House

Boy Scout Troop160, which meets at the
United Methodist Church in Clarks Sum-
mit, was established 81years ago, and dur-
ing that time, the Scouts have done their
part to help whenever they can. It builds
character and teaches themhowto service
the community, said Troop160 Assistant
Scoutmaster Dave Jones.
GriffinPondAnimal Shelter
Established in1938, formerly the Hu-
mane Society of Lackawanna County, the
Griffin Pond Animal Shelter has been a
valuable service not only to Lackawanna
County, but also Wyoming County, by tak-
ing in stray and surrendered animals.
We do it all. We take animals in and if an
animal is injured, we get themhelp, said
Griffin Pond Animal Shelter executive
director Warren Reed. Reed said that during
the years, the community has shown its
support to the shelter by donating funds,
supplies and time. For more information on
howto donate, call 570.586.3700.
Countryside Conservancy
Established in1994, the Countryside
Conservancy is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit orga-
nization dedicated to protecting lands and
waters in and near the Tunkhannock Creek
Watershed for the public benefit, nowand
for the future.The Conservancy works in
Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wyoming
Counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The group is working on a recreational
trail for non-motorized activities extending
fromClarks Summit to Factoryville and
eventually to Lake Winola.
Its something weve had our eye on for a
while, but nowwell be getting into the
construction phase sometime next year,
said executive director Bill Kern.
Girl Scouts inthe Heart of Pennsylva-
nia
Getting ready to celebrate its own100th
anniversary in 2012, the Girl Scouts in the
Heart of Pennsylvania has been providing
support to the community for a century,
putting together a number of community
service activities. Any type of community
project you can imagine theyre going to be
there, said Regional Director for north and
northeast Suzanne Moore.
The Girl Scouts will begin celebrating its
100th anniversary in October, for more
information visit http://www.gshpa.org/

Ladies Auxilary of the Clarks Summit
Fire Department
The Joseph W. Hall Memorial Auxiliary
to the Clarks Summit Fire Company was
formed Sept. 18, 1951, and Peggy Yablon-
ski, Clarks Summit, was one of its founding
members.
Yablonski said, It was a social thing and
was like a family in the beginning.
The Clarks Summit Auxiliary was named
in memory of Joseph W. Hall, who held the
position of chief fromthe first meeting in
1912 until his death in1947 at the age of 90.
Lions Club
In the past 100 years in Clarks Summit
Borough, its residents and neighbors have
shared efforts and time through community
volunteer organizations; one such group is
the Abington Lions Club of Clarks Summit,
instated December 1949. The Lions Club
motto: We serve. And for the past 62
years, its members have stood by that goal.
President Mark Kusma said a fewof its
largest community activities have included
coffee stops, Adopt-a-Highway, the Santa
Project and the annual Clarks Summit Fes-
tival of Ice that is hosted by the ABPA.
Rotary Clubof the Abingtons
The Rotary Clubs of the Abingtons, part
of District 7410, has been a constant in the
community since1929. Warren Watkins
PDG, Clarks Summit, has been a member
since1968. The Rotary Club was not
known as it is now. It was called Clarks
Summit Rotary Club, thats howit was
started out. Then about 20 years ago we
changed the name to the Rotary Club of the
Abingtons for the simple reason we covered
the Abingtons at that timeWe went all
the way to Nicholson at that time. The
name is not the only change between1929
and the present. Up until 1988, women were
not allowed to be Rotarians, according to
Watkins, who was president from1978 to
1979.
Diane Calabro has been a Rotarian since
1988. One of the first women to join, she
was also the first woman president of the

mouth dealer until he retired in
1960 and sold the business to
Montclair Motors of Scranton.
Throughout the 1930s, J.
Verne Lewis first passion was
aviation and he split his time
between the dealership and the
Scranton Municipal airport. By
the end of the 1930s, J. Verne
Lewis had weaned himself
from the automobile business
to pursue his love of aviation
full time. In fact, according to
family history, Orville Wright
signed J. Verne Lewis private
pilots certificate.
J. Verne Lewis was chief-
licensed A & P mechanic at
the Scranton Municipal Air-
port where his daughter Jean
Lewis Crump recalled often
handing her father his tools.
During the pre-war years, J.
Verne Lewis owned and con-
ducted civilian pilot training at
the local Daleville Airport.
Following these years, he
moved on to operate the Ho-
nesdale Airport.
Beginning with the onset of
the 1940s, L. Roy Lewis solely
operated the car dealership,
formerly at the site where Citi-
zens Savings Bank corporate
offices are currently located on
South State Street.
The original car dealership
remained at that midtown loca-
tion until mid-January 1945,
when a disastrous fire said to
have started by an overheated
furnace in a garage basement,
destroyed an entire block of
buildings, including the Lewis
Motor Company, the original
movie theater as well as anoth-
er Chevy dealership. Fortunate-
ly, there were no fatalities.
While the fire of 1945 was a
monumental setback for the
Lewis Motor Company, the
dealership found a temporary
home in a nearby vacant factory
building owned by a man
known as Mr. Decker. In the
latter part of 1947, the Lewis
Motor Company moved to its
new Clarks Summit location
near the corner of State and
Grove Streets in a new building
designed by the architect M.D.
Lewis, of Waverly, and built by
the Glenn Ruland Construction
Company. Currently, the original
building is occupied by several
businesses, including a sand-
wich shop and a building con-
tractor.
Holt, grandson of the late L.
Roy Lewis, described that
location of Lewis Motor Com-
pany. He said, My recollec-
tions are vague because I was
only five years of age when the
business was sold to Montclair
Motors in 1960. However, I do
recall the unforgettable aroma
of new cars, rubber tires and
gasoline that were present in
that very clean showroom.
He added, My grandfather,
Roy Lewis, a quiet man, and
his brother Verne were both
extremely mechanically in-
clined. His brother, Verne Le-
wis, had a tremendous history
of being involved with avia-
tion, aircraft and their mainte-
nance.
Holt also recalled his grand
uncle J. Verne Lewis being
extremely particular when it
came to working with his gift-
ed mechanical ability.
Those characteristics have
definitely been passed on to
me, said Holt. Among his
business career, Roy Lewis
always found time to pursue
his passion for organic garden-
ing. His home was situated in
close proximity to Citizens
Savings and Loan at the corner
of Davis and Grove Streets.
In the story of the business
written by Dick Lewis, L. Roy
Lewis is characterized as a
businessman with an indis-
putable reputation for fairness,
quality of service and customer
satisfaction. According to Dick
Lewis, his father L. Roy Le-
wis motto was unmistakably
The customer is always right.
The author, James R. (Dick)
Lewis was one of four veterans
who worked for Lewis Motor
Company, in keeping with a
custom to hire immediately
returning WWII veterans.
Some of the employees at
the pre-fire location of Lewis
Motor Co. included Viola
Williams, Ray Ross, Gaylord
Thomas, Sterling Stanton,
Chester Norton, William
Cracknell and Claude Barnes.
Dick Lewis also noted that at
the new facility, some of L.
Roy Lewis employees in-
cluded Al Miller, Gilbert Can-
terbury, Milton Walters, Roger
Clark and Bill Conklin.

EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY
Carl OHara Sr., son of
Nellie Riker OHara met
Mildred in 1940. Mildred was
born and raised in Scranton
and together, the couple pur-
chased their first home on
Bailey Road in Chinchilla in
approximately 1945. Both
Mildred and Carl worked in
Scranton: Mildred worked for
Haddon Craftsman and Carl
was a postman.
Carl OHara Sr. passed
away in 1993 but Mildred,
who resides in the Abington
area, will soon celebrate her
91st birthday. The couple has
three children Carl, Patricia
and Virginia.
Among the things Mildred
remembers about Clarks Sum-
mit: Peggys Diner on the
main road, where all of the
roads were dirt, and everyone
used horse and buggies; the
school attended by all children
on Grove Street, where the
grade school is now located;
and the Marsh Hotel in Chin-
chilla, which was the local
hub for entertainment for
people living in Clarks Sum-
mit and Scranton.
I was up here almost all
my life. Carl loved Clarks
Summit, said Mildred OHa-
ra.
Her late husband was em-
ployed by Floral Haven, which
was located in the area of
Colwell Banker on Rt. 6 in
Chinchilla in his younger
pre-war years. According to
Mildred OHara, he (Carl)
was proud of the fieldstone
walls he built.
Patricia OHara Moss, the
daughter of Mildred OHara,
explained the history of the
Riker and Knapp families.
She said, My grandmother,
Nellie Riker OHara, was
born on Fairview Road,
Clarks Summit, Pa. on No-
vember 13, 1883. She was
daughter of John Bolton Riker
and Alice Elizabeth Knapp,
both, Knapp and Riker fam-
ilies after coming over to this
country from Germany settled
in Clarks Summit.
Hence, Knapp Rd. is named
after the Knapp family.
She added, In approxi-
mately the late 1940s the Rik-
er family owned a grocery
store which was located right
before the bridge right past
Clarks Summit town - the
bridge is to left and road goes
to the right. It was right on the
road before the bridge. At one
time it was a general store
owned by Alice Riker for
many years and they sold
mainly groceries. I, being the
granddaughter of Nellie Riker
OHara, recall stories of the
Knapp family owning a huge
farm on what is now Route 6
on Clarks Summit hill and the
farm extended almost to the
Morgan Hwy.
Carls uncle (his mother
Nellie Riker OHaras brother)
named Earl Riker, also has a
street named after him, Earl
Street, located by the VFW in
Clarks Summit. Diehl Street
located in same area by VFW
is named after his Aunt
Diehl.

walked, andwe were healthier for it.
Trishman, 80, has livedinClarks Sum-
mit since1933, whenshe went byher
maidenname, Ross. Livingonthe corner
of Electric Street andCenter Street, her
first walktoDivisionStreet elementary
was not far at all. It was there that she
attendedfirst, second, thirdandfourth
grades under the teachings of Mrs. War-
ren, Mrs. Siptroth, Miss Phillips andMiss
Rosser respectively.
Infifthgrade, Trishmantransferredto
the combinationhighschool andele-
mentaryschool onGrove Street. The walk
tothis school wouldtake 20minutes, she
recalled.
Due tothe fact that the fifthandsixth
grades were housedinthe upper part of the
building, Trishmansaidthat students who
have totake the fire escapes toget inand
out of the building.
It was dauntingat first, but soonwe
were runningupanddownthose fire es-
capes.
She alsofondlyrememberedthe school
janitor, HuffyHuffsmith, whowouldring
the bell.
He was like a grandfather figure,
Trishmansaid. All of the kids lovedhim.
We wouldbe inawe whenhe wouldring
that bell.
As for lunch, Trishmansaidthat stu-
dents brown-baggedit andthere were no
cafeterias. She explainedthat seventh
graders, whohadclass inthe basement,
hada separate lunchroomandthat there
was anauditoriumfor lunchinthe high
school section. As she andher classmates
got older, however, theywouldwalkhome
for lunch.
We were toooldtobrownbagit, or so
we thought, Trishmansaidwitha laugh.
We wouldhave anhour for lunch, soit
wouldtake us 20minutes towalkhome,
20minutes toeat and20minutes toget

One teacher whostoodout toTrishman
duringthis time was WilliamCrum. Ac-
cordingtoTrishman, Crumwas the high
school principal, Englishliterature teacher
andheadof the drama department.
He was verydramatic, she explained,
as she calledbeingsprayedon with
spittle duringhis readings of Shakes-
peares Macbeth.

Seventhgrade inThe Annex
Twovacant buildings standnext tothe
current AbingtonHeights Administration
BuildingonGrove Street. Originally, the
buildings were constructedas silkmills
followingthe Depressionandwere later
usedas trainingareas for industrial work
duringWWII. Most unique, however, is
perhaps their linktothe educationsystem
inthe Abingtons.
AccordingtoAbingtonHeights alum-
nus RickHolt, the larger of the twobuild-
ings, knownas The AnnexBuilding,
housedthe entire seventhgrade for the
district duringthe1966-67school year.
The NewtonTownshipresident explained
that students fromthe five elementary
schools came intothe buildingbefore
movingontothe highschool. Holt saidhe
is still able torecall eachof the teachers
whowere inthe buildingduringthat year.
Music was taught byMr. Augustinand
Miss Paraschac, EnglishbyMrs. Green
andMrs. Norrick, mathbyMrs. Kobar,
social studies byMr. Michaels andscience
byMr. Rosati. Mr. Gabriel servedas prin-
cipal.
Holt alsorecalledthat students were
allottedone15-minute recess duringthe
day. For him, this made for aneasier transi-
tionbetweenelementaryandhighschool.
I thought it was a great idea, he ex-
plained. It weanedus. Insteadof having
togofromhavingtworecesses tonone, we
were able tohave a15-minute break. It was
a goodtransition.
AccordingtoHolt, most of the students
wouldsettle inat the small grassyarea
behindthe buildingdirectlyacross from
the football field. He describedthe recess
as beingpunctuatedbyrumbles and
fights amongthe boys. Holt alsorecalled
playingina concrete drainage pipe behind
the football field. He describedthe pipe as
four tofive feet indiameter andhaving, at
most, a couple of inches of water.
It was somewhat off limits, Holt re-
called. There was some sneakingoff to
get toit.
As for the buildingitself, Holt described
it as consistingof approximatelyeight or
nine rooms withlarge concrete columns
remainingas remnants fromthe previous
uses of the space. He describedthe rooms
as modest sized, fittinganywhere upto
30students.
Followingthe1966-67school year, the
buildingwas usedfor administrationfor
some years andseventhgrade was moved
tothe middle school.
Movingforwardwithtechnologyand
society
For AbingtonHeights School District
Superintendent Dr. Michael Mahon, ad-
vancements intechnologyandsocietyare
amongthe most strikingchanges that have
occurredineducation.
Whenthinkingof howthe education
systemhas changedduringthe years,
Mahondescribedthe laborious process
that students wouldhave togothroughin
the past inorder tocomplete a research
paper. Libraryshelves wouldhave tobe
raidedfor periodicals, books andscholarly
journals. Articles wouldthenhave tobe
copiedbefore students couldfinallysit
downtoreadthroughandsynthesize the
information. Today, Mahonsaidstudents
have more time tofocus onthe research
thanlookingfor it.
It increases the qualityof the output,
he explained. Kids todayare a thousand
times better off. Our challenge is toedu-
cate students onhowtobest utilize the
manyresources that are available tothem.
Alongwithfaster, easier researchmeth-
ods, Mahonsaidthat everyschool inthe
district has smart boards inthe classroom.
While these advancements have improved
education, the superintendent didnote that
challenges suchas online bullyinghave
developed. Overall, however, Mahon
notedthat technological advancements
have beennothingbut a great help.
Outside of technology, Mahonnoted
that societal changes have alsomade for
other educational advancements. Accept-
ance inthe classroom, he said, has enabled
students fromall backgrounds totake part
ina qualitylearningenvironment. Mahon
notedthat students wouldhave beendis-
criminatedbasedongender, race and
disabilities inthe past. Today, he saidthat
there is a move towardinclusion.
Theres anobligationtoeducate all
children, Mahonexplained. We have
students todaythat are inspiringothers to
dobetter things inthe world. These stu-
dents wouldnot have beenallowedinthe
classrooma hundredyears ago.
Witha combinationof advancements in
technologyandsociety, Mahonsaidhe
sees nothingbut positive changes onthe
horizon.
Its hardtomake anargument towant
togoback, he said. Change is difficult,
change is challenging, but its all for the
better.

M
ichael Dziak Jr., Lake Winola, spent
many years in some capacity in the
Abington Heights school district and
was responsible for implementing sports pro-
grams for both boys and girls during his time as
faculty manager of athletics.
Dziak cherished all of his 33 years at the
school, but ranks his time in the classroom as
his biggest joy.
I enjoyed everything, he
said. First of all, I enjoyed
teaching. That was the most
enjoyable thing. I enjoyed be-
ing involved with all the activ-
ities that went on, including the
Comets Revue. I enjoyed every
aspect of teaching, adminis-
tration, athletics and social
activities: the whole realm of
it.
Until 1950, the school was
called the Clarks Summit-
Clarks Green High School.
When Dziak began teaching
biology and American history
in 1951-52, the district was
known as Clarks Summit-
Abington. The following year
he was named faculty manager
of athletics. In Dziaks first
year in the position, there were
only five sports programs:
football, baseball, boys basket-
ball, girls basketball and field
hockey.
Dziak noted that the tradition
of Comets football on Sat-
urday afternoons likely dates
back to his first year as faculty
manager of athletics. During a
game against Duryea, the dis-
trict brought in portable lights
for a night game, the first game
of the season.
Only half of the field would
light with the generators, so the
game was played with only
half the field lit, he said.
Comets coaches blamed the
lack of light for their teams
loss.
Ever since, Saturday after-
noon games have been a tradi-
tion at Comets Stadium.
Dziak said that one of the
major differences from when
he first got involved in the
athletic department was the
condition of the facilities.
They called it the Stone
Bowl where the football stadi-
um is now, he said. They still
refer to it as The Pit because it
was in terrible condition. When
I started out, I had to cut the
grass and put the lines on the
field. We had eighth-graders
line the field for football
games. For wrestling, we had a
storage room at the Grove
Street elementary building that
was converted into a practice
room. The field hockey team
used to play and practice up in
Waverly. Parents and coaches
were responsible for providing
transportation. We made due
with what we could. Recently
they did a lot of renovations on
the stadium and its now a
beautiful stadium. There was
lot of concern about not having
the field up at the high school
with lights for night games.
My own feeling is I like the
afternoon football games, he
said. Theres nothing nicer
than going on a Saturday after-
noon to see a football game.
Dziak was promoted to as-
sistant principal before eventu-
ally becoming principal in
1966. He served at the position
for 18 years until his retirement
in 1984.
We eventually had athletic
directors and the program grew
from three sports for boys to
about 16 now and girls went
from just having just two to
almost as many as the boys.
Dziak said one of the big
obstacles early on was having
enough students who were
interesting in participating and
a member of faculty interested
in coaching them.
One of the challenges was
the number of students that
were involved, Dziak said.
We grew from a graduating
class of 70 or 80 in the 1950s
up to 350 when I retired. Over
the years there has been more
interest and more students, and
we began raising more money.
According to Dziak, the
school needed to find faculty
members who would be in-
terested in coaching. For exam-
ple, wrestling started because
football coach Francis Pinkow-
ski was interested in forming a
team. Interest from a coach
grew into interest from boys
and clubs. Roland Schmidt and
Dick Bagley were also in-
strumental in getting the pro-
gram started.
The swimming team was
formed when the new high
school was built and had a
pool. The physical education
coach Art Wilson became the
swim coach.
It was always a factor of
having the availability of
coaches, Dziak said. In the
beginning we always used
faculty members for coaches.
You didnt go outside and bring
in people to coach.
According to Dziak, the rifle
club began in 1950, under the
instruction of the principal at
the time Bill Crum, who was
an outdoorsman. The club
started with just a few mem-
bers and grew over the years,
eventually becoming a sport
sometime in the period from

late 1800s until her marriage to my grand-
father, H. D. Griffis in1913. Born in1892,
she was the daughter of George Thomas
Staples and Sarah Azer Staples. Her father
was a conductor for the DL&WRailroad,
which is what brought themto Clarks
Summit fromthe Stroudsburg area.
In a letter Griffis wrote to The Abington
Journal dated August 28, 1968, she re-
counted her years growing up in Clarks
Summit with some rather rich details of
the businesses, churches, entertainment
and many aspects of daily living. Brunges
found the letter Griffis wrote among per-
sonal papers her grandmother had saved.
Whether the typewritten letter was ever
printed in the paper remains a mystery as
Brunges has not found a newspaper copy
of it.
It was not unusual for her to send let-
ters of interest to the various newspa-
pers, said Brunges. Because of her in-
terest in history, I believe she felt the need
to preserve the history of her family and
the times in general. I have found copies of
other letters written to the papers here in
Montrose and to various family members.
Brunges noted that Griffis came froma
large family and with many of the mem-
bers residing in Clarks Summit in the early
1900s. George and Sarah resided at the
Grove Street address until their deaths,
Sarah in1920 and George in1926.
Her mother had11children, three of
whomdied of Black Diphtheria in a three-
week period in the winter of 1878, said
Brunges. Afourth child died of an illness
in Lancaster, Pa., while training as a sol-
dier during the Spanish American War.
I remember my grandmother, contin-
ued Brunges. I grewup well acquainted
with my grandparents and actually much
of her extended family. She was very in-
terested in history and spent several years
compiling data to establish her member-
ship in the DAR(Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution). She always was recalling
things to us as children. Unfortunately, we
were not always that interested. During
WWII, she sold war bonds and volun-
teered for the Red Cross, which earned her
a certificate of recognition fromthe Amer-
ican National Red Cross.
I ampleased that our family sawfit to
preserve many of her things including the
letter and that the paper has it, said
Brunges. I find it quite fitting and timely
that it can be part of Clarks Summits Cen-
tennial and I knowthat she would be tick-
led that you are interested in it.

EXCERPT FROM LYDIA
STAPLES GRIFFIS LETTER:
I remember the time when we
knew who lived in every house.
No one had a bathroom. I do re-
member that one of our neigh-
bors had a steam heat plant, but
not even the water in the house
or a sink to wash dishes. I
could tell you so many things that
happened in my childhood days.
The day Pedricks Meat Market
was robbed at noon, when they
went home for lunch, but they
found out who did it the same day
and when they went past our
home after dark with lanterns,
how excited I got.

lthough she grad-
uated from
Clarks Summit-Clarks
Green Joint High
School in 1950, Er-
nestine Davis McCaro
still remembers her
cheerleading days as
if they were yesterday.
My two best girlfriends
and I practiced cheers for the
whole summer before high
school in hopes of making the
squad, she recalled.
McCaro and her friends
lived near an older member of
the squad, who helped them
learn the cheers. We would
do drills and drills and drills,
she said. She gave us les-
sons.
McCaro lived in Chinchilla
with her family, and she re-
membered how intimidated
she was by Clarks Summit-
Clarks Green Joint High
School.
We were from this little
town and the high school
seemed so big. It was our
dream to be cheerleaders
there, we had high hopes, but
we were scared, she said.
After a summer of practice,
the day of tryouts finally
came. McCaro climbed on the
stage with the rest of the pro-
spective cheerleaders. Back
in those days, everyone wore
pearls all the time. I was so
nervous, I was fiddling with
mine. All of a sudden, the
strand broke. My pearls went
all over the stage. I still dont
think anyone knew it was me,
but I was so embarrassed, she
said.
Regardless of necklace in-
cident, McCaro and her two
best friends made the squad.
We would practice all the
time and also teach the audi-
ence the words, she said. It
was physical exercise and
physical activity every day,
but there was no competition
between the cheerleaders.
New members were wel-
comed with open arms. We
were all so happy to be a part
of the squad.
My parents never missed a
game. Everyones whole fam-
ily would come to the games.
If we won, we would parade
after with the band and the
football players. I enjoyed it
so much. Everyone was one
heart.
She noted that uniforms
today are significantly differ-
ent than when she was a
cheerleader. The cheerlead-
ers wear so little clothing
these days. We wore big heavy
white sweaters, which we
thought were gorgeous. The
skirts were to our knees,
which was a little daring then.
It was the most wonderful
outfit.
McCaro said she would
encourage young girls to get
involved in cheerleading. Its
difficult exercise. When
youre in high school, its
important to be active, and
cheerleading is very demand-
ing. Cheers are hard to do and
there is a lot more activity
now, as they do so much per-
formance, when we focused a
lot more audience participa-
tion, she said.
However, McCaro also
stressed the importance of
academics, noting that she
went on to college after high
school. Although she made
the squad in college, McCaro
quit because she disliked the
colors. I couldnt wear or-
ange and black after wearing
our beautiful colors all those
years, she said.
I do miss it terribly
though.
Cheers to the next 100 years

n keeping with the
mission of the
Abington Heights
Civic League Inc.
(AHCL), a womens
organization that sup-
ports the heart of the
community through
volunteerism, Clarks
Summit resident
Gretchen Eagen,
league public issues
co-chair, has spent
months gathering in-
formation and photos
of deceased Clarks
Summit veterans.
The veterans, their families
and the four branches of the
military were honored at the
Veterans Memorial Dedi-
cation through the guidance of
Mr. Herman Johnson held
May 28, and at the Memorial
Day Parade held May 30.
However, Eagens work con-
tinues.
She has been working on
the project Veterans through
Time on behalf of the league,
along with Senior Cadette
Troop 557; Brianna Eagen,
who is working on this project
for her Girl Scout Silver
Award; and VFW Command-
er Steuart Bailey, who, ac-
cording to Eagen, has helped
to identify many veterans
from our area who have
served in wars.
One of her visions is to
enhance the banner (displayed
at the Memorial Day Parade
and the Veterans Memorial
Dedication) by adding mis-
sing photos of veterans cur-
rently displayed on the banner
and by adding additional
names and photos of deceased
veterans whose families and
friends who may have not
contacted us yet, said Eagen.
The banner will be used in
the future by the AHCL and
by the VFW to display on-site
and at various community
functions including future
Memorial Day Parades.
Throughout the years, the
civic league has participated
and recognized veterans in the
annual Memorial Day Parade,
and this year as Clarks Sum-
mit celebrates its centennial, it
was Eagens idea to recognize
veterans throughout the past
100 years. The wars repre-
sented are WWII, Korean,
Vietnam, Desert Storm and
Operation Enduring Freedom.
She said, When I discussed
the project with Steuart Bailey
(VFW), we decided to recog-
nize the veterans by the vari-
ous wars.
Eagens goal was to com-
plete the project by the Me-
morial Day Parade, but with
the overwhelmingly positive
response she received from
the community, she decided to
continue to search for addi-
tional veterans.
She added, It took time and
the project was more involved
than I had realized because of
trying to locate some family
history and photos. When we
put it out there to the commu-
nity in the spring, other fam-
ilies contacted me and there-
fore, now, given that window
of time, my goal then became
to find other families. This
project is a great tribute and
gift for our community both
now and years to come.
In addition to honoring
veterans who have passed,
Edward Joseph Sheroda, a
veteran, and his wife, Irma,
who were on the civic leagues
Memorial Day float in the
parade, were also honored.
Sheroda was an Army Private
First Class from World Word
II who was drafted on Feb. 4,
1943 and discharged Feb. 11,
1946. During his service he
stepped on a landmine in
Mount Adone and his Boy
Scout training saved his life.
In addition to Sheroda, oth-
er veterans honored were as
follows: WWII Leo Burke,
U.S. Army; Jerome Gillgallon,
Army Air Force; Charles Hor-
vath, U.S. Marine Corps; and
Andrew Martino, U.S. Army;
Howard A. Holt, U.S. Army;
William Charles Pratt, U.S.
Marine Corps; Lloyd Robert
Holt, U.S. Navy; William
Chessick, U.S. Navy; Korean
War Herman Harold Holt,
U.S. Air Force; William
Dunn, US Marine Corps;
James Michael Eagen, Jr.,
U.S. Air Force; Robert Mor-
gan, U.S. Army; George H.
Mennig, US Marine Corps;
Vietnam War - Richard Lee
Wescott, US Navy; Robert J.
Commander Kromko, Sr. U.S.
Marine Corps; Gerald Ko-
waski, U.S. Air Force; Lance
Corporal David Albert Parker,
U.S. Marine Corps; Dessert
Storm - Thomas H. Lewis
Staff Sergeant, U.S. Air Force;
Operation Enduring Free-
dom Larry Johnson, U.S.
Marine Corps; and Dennis
Veater, U.S. Marine Corps.
Bobby Cianfichi, co-owner
of Biz Gifts, Scranton, helped
Eagen to design the banner
and donated art for the ban-
ner, time and one of the com-
plete banners.
It was his idea to use the
background of the banner,
which is the actual Vietnam
Memorial.
For those who have any
information on the veterans
honored on the current banner
or can provide additional in-
formation regarding deceased
veterans from our area that
were not yet recognized, con-
tact Eagen at geagen@ya-
hoo.com or call 570.585.8180.

1952-84.
Crum wanted to get boys
interested in rifle and hunting
and fishing, Dziak said.
Dziak said it was difficult
for the school to participate in
rifle because of the lack of
teams and travel concerns.
Only North Pocono,
Stroudsburg and East
Stroudsburg offered it, so we
had to travel a lot to participa-
te, he said.
According to Dziak, the
rifle range was under the
present elementary school on
Grove Street
The administration didnt
want students bringing rifles
into the building, because it
was around the time of the
Columbine shooting, he said.
They were not interested in
having the range under the
school. After they were
banned from using that range,
the club had to rent facilities
for practices.
Dziak added, Since there
still arent many schools that
offer the sport, the school
board eliminated the rifle
team, as a sport, a few years
ago because it was losing
interest due to travel concerns.
The Comets victory over
Shikellamy in the 1966 East-
ern Conference Football
Championship is one of
Dziaks fondest memories
from his time guiding the
athletic programs. The game
was played at Scranton Me-
morial Stadium.
It was a bitter, cold day in
December, he said. That
(game) was the highlight of
my years in the district as far
as athletics.
Dziak said funding for
sports came from ticket sales
from boys football and bas-
ketball games as well as mon-
ey budgeted out from the
school board for athletic
equipment.
The only thing they didnt
budget money for was for
letters and sweaters and jack-
ets which we used to give out
over the years, he said. They
became an expensive proposi-
tion, so we used to do a
Comets Revue, a musical
variety show, to raise money
for athletic awards.
According to Dziak, the
annual Thanksgiving Day
football game against Tunk-
hannock, which took place
from1940 to the 1970s was a
good source of revenue.
We made a big profit out
of that game because every-
body came to the Thanks-
giving game. It was a good
rivalry between the two teams
at the time.
Dziak would love to see the
game return, but feels the
playoff system makes it very
difficult to fit on the schedule.
Its lost interest now, but if
you talk to any of the old-
timers in Tunkhannock, they
would love to get back to it,
he said. The problem is that
there are so many state playoff
games now that run into the
middle of December.
Dziak worked to create an
athletic code of conduct that
athletes were required to sign
before each season, stating
that they would not smoke,
drink alcohol or skip classes.
Im sure they still did it if
they could get away with it,
but we tried to enforce it as
much as possible, he said. If
an athlete was caught break-
ing a rule they were suspend-
ed for the entire season of the
sport in which they were par-
ticipating.
Dziak said he worked hard
to ensure that the girls had as
many chances to participate in
sports as the boys did.
I pushed for all of them,
he said of the sports pro-
grams. If the coach showed
interest, we would try to push
for it. The girls always wanted
equal opportunities, and right-
fully so. We tried to accom-
modate programs for the girls
as much as possible, too.

Tonights the night. Seven
of our areas finest folk
musicians will be taking
the Dietrich stage for our
10thannual Gathering of
Singers and Songwriters.
Join us at 7:30 p.m. for a
fantastic evening of acous-
tic music, plus good fun
and stories from the eve-
nings featured artists. Mu-
sical guests include George
Wesley, Kate Jordan, KJ
Wagner, Tom Flannery,
Lorne Clark, Jay Smar and
Donna Hill.
For over a decade, Tunk-
hannocks Dietrich Theater
has cultivated and nurtured
one of the most vibrant,
original arts scenes in
America, said Lorne Clar-
ke, concert organizer and
emcee. This years Gather-
ing of Singers & Songwrit-
ers celebrates the spirit of
this great community.
Admission is free. Tick-
ets will be available at the

Speaking of music, in

of the Pennsylvania Hu-
manities Councils Com-
monwealth Speakers, for a
free presentation called
The End: Authorship,
Nostalgia and the Beatles
on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7
p.m.
Beatles scholar Kenneth
Womack will bring the sto-
ry of the Beatles vividly to
life. He will trace the
groups creative arc from
their days in Liverpool to
the mean streets of Ham-
burg, through Abbey Road,
to the twilight of their ca-
reer.
In an effort to communi-
cate the power of the
bands remarkable achieve-
ment, Womack and his au-
dience will investigate the
origins of the groups com-
positions, as well as the
songwriting and recording
practices that brought them
to fruition. I think this pre-
sentation will appeal to
both young and mature
audiences.

Camerawork Gallerys
located in the Marquis
Gallery at 515 Center
Street, Scranton, will open
it new show The Black
Land on First Friday,
Sept. 2.
Featuring the work of
Ed Dougert, the show
includes photographs of
the coal country of north-
eastern PennsylvaniaAnd
will be on display Sept. 2
to Oct. 4 with an opening
reception Sept. 2, from 6
to 8:30 p.m.
Douget wrote that, The
Pennsylvania anthracite
coal region is unique in
that a single industry,
whose peak is long past,
has left its mark on the
land, the culture, the
economy and the ecology.
Since 1999, I have been
constructing a photograph-
ic essay of the remnants
of the coal industry in
Northeastern Pa. I have
tried to illustrate the
graphic beauty of the coal
region while interpreting
its complex and emotional
history with its many
chapters of social, eco-
nomic, and environmental
issues.
My pictures try to con-
vey the emotion that un-
der lies this areas past. I
began photographing the
Pennsylvania coal region
as a way to understand
what happened there. To
stand on the sites you
research and feel the his-
tory is a unique experi-
ence. I hope that a full
immersion into this topic
allowed me to produce
images infused with some
of the emotion found at
these places.
In addressing this pro-
ject of recording these
coal mining sites as they
exist presently, I combine
documentation and in-
terpretation.
He added, I am record-
ing the fast disappearing
industrial history but also
trying to offer pleasing
photographs which con-
centrate on a detail to
illustrate a larger piece of
the story. Using tradition-
al darkroom techniques
and black and white film,
the final work is prints
from 8 inches square to
11 inches square in size,
professionally mounted
and framed.
Dougert grew up in Phi-
ladelphia earning degrees
in Liberal Arts and Me-
chanical Engineering from
Temple University.
The Black Land pho-
tographs are produced
using black and white
film and printed with tra-
ditional techniques using
darkroom and chemistry.

His stories are mostly
about God and Jesus. They
also teach people how to
become better human beings.
Were all human beings,
said Clazzy. We have more
in common than we do dif-
ferent.
Clazzy will also play a
wind machine called the
WX5, which can make 250
different sounds.
This year, Clazzy and
Cring are doing a Stop the
Meanness Tour, in which
they hope to inspire people
to stop yelling and start lis-
tening.
RANSOM - People coming
to the Countryside Commu-
nity United Methodist

humor.
They will also get the op-
portunity to listen to spiritu-

people to respect one anoth-
er. Music will be played and
stories will be read out loud.
Best of all, the entertainment
is free.
Musician/conductor Janet
Clazzy and author/humorist
Jonathan Richard Cring, who
have been performing to-
gether for 15 years, will be
the ones entertaining at
Church in Ransom on Aug.
26 at 7 p.m.
This will be their first
appearance in the Abington

The duo will perform their

Clazzy, who has a masters
degree in oboe and orchestra

Cring on the oboe while he
Its silly to say God bless
America if we refuse to
bless each other, said Cring.
In 1980, Clazzy was an
oboist in the Shreveport
Symphony in Shreveport,
La., and taught at Centenary
College. Cring was a profes-
sor at a Bible college in the
same town during the same
year. They met in 1981 at a
musical that Jonathan had
written himself.
Clazzy wrote original
scores for Crings projects.
From 1982-1996, they went
their separate ways and pur-
sued their careers. Janet
played in symphonies in
Houston, Santa Cruz, San
Jose, while living in Oak
Ridge, Tenn.
Cring traveled around the
country to be an advisor and
screenwriter for 13 .
In 1996, Clazzy moved to
Nashville, Tennessee, where
Cring was living with his
family. Clazzy called when
he was writing his first
book, Im...the legend of
the son of man. Crings

Taiwan, the Republic of
China, is a land known for
both its natural and cultural
diversity, ranging from vast

be represented by words
alone.

The Oldest House in La-
ceyville, built in 1781, is in
need of a new roof. Part of
the fund raising effort in-
cludes a unique raffle of two
limited edition prints and
three specially handcrafted
18th Century reproduction
hunting tools created just for
this raffle.
Raffle tickets cost $2 each
and are available at the Wya-
lusing Chamber of Com-
merce office, DeRemers
Beauty Salon in Laceyville,
True Value Hardware in La-
ceyville, and Peoples Bank
in Meshoppen. Tickets are
also available at The Oldest
House when it is open to the
public, Friday through Sun-
day between 1 to 4 p.m.
The House will be closed
for the roof renovations from
Aug. 22 through Sept. 8,
re-opening Sept. 9 with regu-
lar tour hours.
The raffle will conclude on
October 2 at the close of the
Muzzleloaders Rendezvous
event at the house at 4 p.m.,
and the drawing will be held
immediately. The top prize in
the raffle is a limited edition
gicle print by Andrew Knez,
Jr., titled False Trail. It is
valued at over $300.
Prizes two through five are:
a handcrafted knife by Neil-
son; a powder horn hand-
crafted by Hove; a tomahawk
handcrafted by Simmers; and
The Abduction of John Tan-
ner a limited edition print by
Knez.
The cost of the new roof is
about $26,000; cedar shingles
must be used because of the
historical importance of the
house. Roofers who are certi-
fied by the National Shake
and Shingle Board have been
selected to install the new
roof, which will also be put
on with correct ventilation,
spacing and insulation.
To date, $16,200 has been
raised by the all-volunteer
staff of the Oldest House,
which means only $9800 is
still needed. A $10,000 grant
from Chesapeake helped
push the fundraising efforts
over the hurdle.
Weve been raising money
for over a year, notes Debbie
Stevens, second vice presi-
dent of the Oldest House
Historical Society. With the
help of Chesapeake and our
community we have passed
the half way mark and are
now at 62% of our goal.
The staff at the Oldest
House hopes that sales of
raffle tickets will get them
that much closer to raising all
the money needed for the
roof.
Its rare to get a chance to
bid on artwork like this, and
handcrafted items like these,
comments OHHS Member
Robin Robinson, who is in
charge of the raffle and who
is organizing the Muzzleload-
ers Rendezvous.

August 7, 2011 was a
banner day for our li-
brary!
Thanks to co-chairs,
Lorraine Daniels and He-
len Smetana, many of
our supporters enjoyed a
wonderful afternoon at
Maiolatesis for a glass a
wine and the chance to
sample some spectacular
hors doeuvres.
What a unique way to
learn about a new wine
or two, sample food from
local restaurants, enjoy
friends, make some new
ones and at the same
time, raise funds for our
library.
Sal Maiolatesi, our gra-
cious host, provided the
venue a lovely deck
featuring gorgeous scen-
ery and most comfortable
tasting room featuring a
wide selection of wines.
And the hors doeuvres
were ever so tasty.
Many thanks to The
Dalton Country Store,
Newsies, Patsels, The
Terrace Cafe at Graystone
Gardens and the New
Century Buffet for your
contribution to such a
remarkable afternoon.
Those who attended are
hoping for a repeat per-
formance next summer.
Without a doubt, events
such as the one held at
Maiolatesis are important
to maintain an active li-
brary.
And weve quite had an
active summer this year.
The Summer Reading
Program served 48
youngsters, babes to age
11, and ten young adults,
ages 12 to 18, who to-
gether read a total of
700 books. The grand
finale of the program
was held on Tues., Au-
gust 2 at the Streamside
Park when Drumming
with Deerheart was the
major event.
McGraths Pub and Eat-
ery supplied pizza and
wings for those attend-
ing, a wonderful treat,
indeed. Thanks,
McGraths; youve always
been a loyal supporter of
our library.
The traditional design
a bookmark contest was
also held this summer.
Nine year old Mia Fam-
iletti won and her book-
mark will be on display
and will also be used for
our librarys bookmark
throughout the year.
The annual Battle of
the Books, with contes-
tants, Lili Martin, Car-
olyn Mack and Heidi
Davis, representing Dal-
ton, was held at the
Steamtown Mall on Au-
gust 18. Since this article
is being written on Au-
gust 15th, prior to my
being away, Id love to
predict the results, but
cant. So check at the
library to see how our
team did.
Theres a brand new
activity that started on
August 15 scrapbooking.
Shalom Lopez and Sherry
Hammaker are conducting
three workshops to help
you create your own
scrapbook. They occur
August 15, 22, and 29
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Youll need to bring
your own materials and
they will help you tackle
this project so that youll
be able to complete a
lovely scrapbook.
If theres enough in-
terest, they may be able
to provide more classes
in the fall.
If you have any ques-
tions about these classes,
please call Janet Geeza at
570.563.2014.

Clarks Summit, Pa. AUGUST 24 TO AUGUST 30, 2011 50
After earning a full schol-
arship to a prominent racing
school, a 16-year-old Clarks
Summit native has an oppor-
tunity to realize his dream.
Jerry Tunney never thought
hed have an opportunity to
become a NASCAR driver
but after receiving a full
scholarship to Race 101 in
North Carolina Tunney can
take his career to the next
level.
It was the most exciting
thing that has happened so
far in my career, Tunney
said. It opened up a door to
more opportunities and the
knowledge that I have
learned in the program to
take advantage of those op-
portunities and make them
work in my favor.
At the age of nine, Tunney
started racing remote control
cars. His favorite track is the
LA Speedway in Lake Ariel.
This is where I learned
most of what I know and
understand about car setup
and chassis adjustments,
Tunney said.
After compiling more than
60 wins and five track cham-
pionships, Tunney moved on
to racing full size cars in
2010. He earned a Rookie of
the Year nomination at Five
Mile Point Speedway, which
is the sight of his favorite
race of his career.
I led almost every lap and
fought side by side the last
10 laps to get the win, Tun-
ney said. It was a huge
milestone and really encour-
aged me to be better every
week.
While working to better his
career, Tunney continues to
give back to the community.
I feel this is very impor-
tant because I am encour-
aged by the community to
excel in racing, Tunney
said. I also enjoy the feel-
ing of knowing that you are
helping the place where you
spent a lot of time as a
child.
Tunney donated one of his
authentic racing tires for a
silent auction Aug. 27 at the
Clarks Summit Centennial
Celebration, held in the ga-
rage of the borough building.
Proceeds benefit the Abing-
ton Community Library.
Tunney will also be at the
centennial with his car help-
ing veteran race car driver
Oscar Kovaleski with his
Kidracer program.
Oscar is going to have a
race track set up at the cen-
tennial where any child can
get into an electric race car
and race against each other,
Tunney said. I will be
teaching the children about
the car, the rules of racing
and the driving line.
Tunney is entering his
sophomore year at Scranton
Prep where he is on the
cross country and track

Carl Danzig, head mens
basketball coach at The Uni-
versity of Scranton, has an-
nounced that Kyle Ranck of
Lewisburg will join the Roy-
als for the upcoming 2011-
2012 season.
This past season, Ranck
was enrolled at Ithaca Col-
lege in Ithaca, NY and
played one season of base-
ball for the Bombers.
At Scranton, he will be a
sophomore academically
with four years of eligibility
remaining in basketball.
Ranck, a 6 foot 5 inch,
175-pound guard/forward,
averaged 15 points, six re-
bounds and four assists per
game in leading Lewisburg
High School to a 17-10 re-
cord in 2010.
For his efforts, he landed
first-team all-conference
honors. As a junior, he
picked up second-team all-
conference honors averaging
12 points, five rebounds and
three assists per game.
Ranck also saw action as a
sophomore, averaging seven
points, three rebounds and
three assists per game. Im
thrilled to welcome Kyle to
our program, said Danzig.
He will definitely help us at
the big guard/small forward
position with his ability to
play inside and outside. He
wraps us a solid recruiting
year for us, and I look for-
ward to working with him
and our other newcomers as
we get ready for what ap-
pears to be another exciting
year in the Landmark Con-
ference.
Ranck joins a Royal mens
basketball program coming
off its third Landmark Con-
ference title and third NCAA
tournament appearance in
the past four years.
During Danzigs tenure at
head coach, Scranton is 179-
91 (.663), including five
conference titles and five
NCAA tournament appear-
ances.
Kyle is the son of Craig
and Kathy Ranck of Lewis-
burg. He plans to major in
criminal justice.

MOUNT COBB Some
golfers can put up im-
pressive scores when
they execute enough
risky shots and at the
same time manage to
avoid trouble.
Abington Heights
coach Mike Williams
thought his players were
capable of posting solid
numbers without having
to take the risks.
The Comets proved
their coach correct while
pulling away for a 10-
stroke victory over de-
fending champion Scran-
ton Prep Friday in the
season-opening Jackman
Memorial Tournament at
Scranton Municipal Golf
Course.
On the way here to-
day, I said to the kids, if
we can put up four
scores under 76, we can
win this thing some-
thing between even par
and 76 and thats what
we did, Williams said.
We talked as a team
about playing for pars all
day long. No heroic
shots; just fairways and
greens. Take your two
putts.
The kids are call
capable of shooting in
the 70s.
Senior Dalton Cold-
water put up pars on all
but two holes and shot
even-par, 72 before win-
ning the individual title
with a bogey on the first
playoff hole.
This was hands down,
the best golf Ive
played, Coldwater said
after topping the 123-
player field for his first
win.
Coldwater hit his ap-
proach to six feet and
made the birdie putt on
the par-5 13th. After his
only bogey at 17, he fin-
ished the round, which
had a shot gun start, with
seven straight pars.
I came in wanting to
play for the team, Cold-
water said. We like to
win as a team. Whatever
else is extra.
The team win came
with the help of a 74 by
Eric Montella and 75s by
Alex Altier and Anthony
Sebastianelli.
The tournament uses
the top four scores out of
the six-player lineup to
create the team score.
The Comets also showed
depth for the upcoming
season when Jamie Egan
shot 80 and Will Swisher
shot 86 although they
were not part of the team
total.
Abington Heights won
with 296 while Scranton
Prep shot 306 and North
Pocono 307. Dunmore
was fourth with a 317.
Lakeland, the top fin-
isher among Lackawanna
League Northern Divi-
sion teams, tied River-
side for fifth out of 21
teams with 321.
Lackawanna Trail tied
for 17th with 390.
The top two in each
class received trophies.
Three Abington
Heights players picked
up awards along with one
from Scranton Prep.
Because Coldwater
claimed the overall
championship, Old
Forges Corey Palma took
the award for top senior
after losing to him in the
playoff.
North Poconos Ken
Sames recovered from a
triple-bogey start to fin-
ish at 73 for a tie for
third overall and second
place among seniors. He
