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,

have a com-
munity carni-
val atmosphere

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.

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.

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).

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.

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
door while they last.
Speaking of music, in
September the Dietrich will
host Kenneth Womack, one
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.
Please call the theater at
570.996.1500 for reserva-
tions to this free event.
Another free event that is
just around the corner is
the Dietrich Childrens
Theatre production of Lon
Po Po: A Red Riding Hood
Story from China. In this
play, a mother from the
Chinese countryside travels
overnight to visit her three
small childrens sick grand-
mother, or po po.

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.

different perspectives, thus
heightening my sensibil-
ities whether visual or so-
cial.

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

Clazzy, who has a masters

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
publisher wanted him to
travel on a book tour. He
decided to read and play
music. Thats when they
became partners in music
and books. They now live in
Henderson, Tenn.
The two are excited to
come to perform at the
Countryside Community
UMC.
I cant wait to come to
Clarks Summit, Clazzy
said. Anyone who comes to
the show is going to laugh
because Jonathan is so fun-
ny. Its an hour, its free, and
its fun.
Countryside Community
UMC is glad that we will
put on a show for them.
Were very excited that they
are coming, said Pastor J.P.
Duncan. They have a won-
derful program addressing
issues of peace and non-
violence. It will be inspira-
tional.

game at PNC Field.
The goal of the festival is to

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.
September brings a
most exciting event.
Our library is participa-
ting in Interdependence
Day (see www.interde-
pendencedaynepa.org) and
our program will be on
Tuesday, September 13.
Interdependence Day
began on September 12,
2003, a date selected to
both reflect on the trage-
dy of September 11 and
also to acknowledge our
interdependence. Its a
call to create civility and
understanding as we work
towards creating a world
where we can all work
together.
The celebration will be
held in Scranton Sept. 12
at the Scranton Cultural
Center (see www.interde-
pendencedaynepa.org) and

brary will show the film,
Animating the Golden
Rule."
The film where teenag-
ers explore ways of em-
bodying the cored values
of The Golden Rule.
Since the film features
art, music, rap, and dra-
ma skits, it should appeal
to all ages. The movie
will be followed by a
discussion and we hope
many of you will come
with your families.
September will also
feature the beginning of
the Fall Reading Program,
Kreative Kids, and story
hour. Check the library
web site, watch for post-
ers in the library and/or
ask the libraries for the
exact dates.

ers.

ated and tended by the
Friends of the Dalton

teers!
Until September, enjoy

the Pennsylvania Human-

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
Summit resident shares love of racing

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

Tunneys next race is
Sept. 3 at Mountain

I enjoy asphalt racing
and they have a very nice
track and facility, Tunney
said. I have learned a lot
there so far this year and
most of my competitors
are very nice and very
willing to help me out.
Next year Tunney will
look to buy a new car and
engine while racing
throughout the northeast.
He may also head south
for a few races in Virginia
and North Carolina.
My ultimate goal would
be to make it to a point
where I can live comfort-
ably racing, Tunney said.
NASCAR would be ideal
and I believe it would be
possible with lots more
hard work and dedication.
