MEMORIAL MOMENT
Ransom
spinning
wheels on
range issues
By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
RANSOM TWP. - Discussions regarding
the proposed land development of Ransom
Recreational Shooting Sports continued to
move in circles at the May 20 Ransom Twp.
Planning Commission meeting.
Two pieces of correspondence from
Ransom Recreational Shooting Sports to
the township were discussed. The frst was a
response to the board on its musings at last
months meeting about fencing requirements
for the proposed rife range.
The second was from Ransom Recreation-
al Shooting Sports engineer Mark Dieter and
addressed to the Township Board of Super-
visors Oct. 24, 2012. It was forwarded to
the Planning Commission after last months
supervisors meeting. It is in response to
the Aug. 23, 2012 review letter prepared
by Township Engineer John Seamans and
requests a formal ruling from the township
regarding six issues: wetland delineation,
acceptance of certain type of toilets, potable
water for range patrons, UCC and L and I
applicability to preliminary land develop-
ment plans, driveway width and Buckeye
Pipeline easement.
Board member Bill Auriemma requested
Seamans comment on the issues. In regard
to the fencing, Seamans explained there is
a fence on the plans around each gun range
site, but no details about the type or height of
the fencing.
Auriemma then asked Ransom Recre-
ational Shooting Sports Manager Andrew
Massimilian if he was looking for answers
that night on the issues examined in the
Dieter letter.
Massimilian replied, saying he wasnt ask-
ing for an answer at all on the fencing issue.
Regarding Dieters letter Massimilian
said, These were legal questions. They were

On the go fun
By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
The Abington Community Library
invites children of all agesand adults,
tooto participate in a special program,
On the Go with Abi and Jo this summer
from June 1 to Aug. 31.
Participants will take photos of The
Abington Journals award-winning
children and teen section My Edition
mascots Abi and Jo (both named after the
Abington Journal), on adventures wher-
ever the summer takes them. Each photo
must include material from the library,
such as a book, DVD, CD, canvas bag
bookmark, or anything with a 14-digit
Abington Community Library barcode or
logo.
For example, states the library
newsletter, patrons can photograph Abi
or Jo on the go at the beach, at the Zoo, at
Grandmas, or at a park. Anywhere you
go Abi and Jo can be captured, with your
Abington Community Library material.
According to Abington Community Li-
brary Director Leah Rudolph, the project
is inspired by The Flat Stanley Project,
which connects children and classrooms
with other children and classrooms by
sending out fat visitors, created by the
children, through the mail. Participants
then track and record their fat characters
journey and adventures.
The inspiration for On the Go with Abi
and Jo frst came to Rudolph in the form
of a letter from a young friend who sent
her a Flat Stanley fgure to take on ad-
ventures at the library and around the state.
Achildhood fan of paper dolls, Rudolph
immediately knew what to do, and began
making paper cut-out clothing and acces-
sories for her new fat friend.
Wanting to share the fun with other
children and children-at-heart, she said she
decided to start a similar program with the
Abington Community Library and My
Edition.

Respect is only one of the
many things Leach teaches.
Theres a full curriculum,
which includes reading, music,

such as an interest in birds and

achievement
It does come down
to people and their
nature.
(Architecture is
about) how we make
things and how
theyre crafted. You
put all that together
and you really get
to make wonderful
places for people.
Peter Bohlin,
On architecture and the design
process.
S
ome people think the job of
an architect entails knowing
how a house is built or how to
construct the strongest roof. Local
architects Peter Bohlin and Gabriel
Hodge know thats only one ele-
ment of architecture. To them, one
of the most important aspects of
architecture is not the beams or the
blueprints; its the people.
Waverly resident Bohlin founded
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, an archi-
tecture frm based in Wilkes- Barre,
in 1965. Since the frms begin-
ning, it has expanded to fve offces
across the United States in Wilkes
-Barre, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
San Francisco and Seattle. Bohlin
Cywinski Jackson has worked on
projects around the world and count
Apple and Pixar as only two of their
many clients.
Recently, the frm was awarded
the Good Design is Good Business
Lifetime Achievement Award by
the Architectural Record and the
American Architectural Foundation,
according to a press release.
The award the frms work and
ability to design buildings that help
enhance a business performance.
Bohlin said the award recognizes
the frms entire body of work over
a lifetime.
Hodge, also a Waverly resident,
said one of the ideas behind the
award is celebrating the idea that
you do great buildings to promote
business.
As an example, Bohlin and
Hodge spoke about some of the
frms collaboration with Pixar.
Hodge said the building needed to
foster a culture of creative people.
The resulting designs utilized space
to help create that culture.
The building designs truly are
integral to the success of the busi-
ness, Bohlin said. You dont just
make spaces, he added.
Bohlin said building design is be-
coming more important as technol-
ogy becomes more important and
prevalent. Bohlin said that people
have a tendency to become caught
up in technology and businesses are
fnding it more important to hire
architects that will make a build-
ing that causes them [employees] to
interact.
Although Bohlin Cywinski
Jackson has designed spaces for
corporate giants such as Apple,
Pixar and clothing company Uniqlo,
the frm still takes on projects for
colleges and universities as well as

that Mike Dunio adopted Bagel
from the shelter. He adopted a
dog there, but not Bagel. Bagel
is in need of a home.

nosed with cancer. (Individuals
who choose to enroll do not
have to be registered Relay
team participants).
Promote. Tell everyone you
know about this one-time,
historic opportunity to make a
difference in the fght against
cancer.

Pipe organ expert to visit Rotary Club
The founder, president and
artistic director of one of the
countrys leading pipe organ
building and restoration com-
panies will be guest speaker at
an upcoming Rotary Club of
the Abingtons meeting.
Patrick J. Murphy of Stowe,
Montgomery County, will
visit with the club and explain
his business and work dur-
ing the clubs June 6 meeting
at Nichols Village Hotel and
Spa, Clarks Summit. Murphy
founded Patrick J. Murphy &
Associates Inc. Organbuilders
in 1987. Currently the com-
pany employs 11 people and is
in the process of rebuilding the
pipe organ at Covenant Pres-
byterian Church in Scranton.
Among the companies past 60
-plus large projects and numer-
ous small projects, includes the
restoration of the University of
Scrantons 1910 Austin pipe
organ in the schools Houli-
han-McLean Center, Mulberry
Street at Jefferson Avenue, in
2004.
Murphy traces his occupa-
tion back to high school when
he became interested in pipe
organs and the associated
organ literature, at which time
he began taking organ les-
sons. It was also during this
time that he began his tuning
and service work training on
various church pipe organs
in the Philadelphia area as an
apprentice. In 1978 he became
the frst recipient of the Organ
Historical Societys E. Power
Biggs Fellowship award that
allowed him to attend that
years annual convention in
Massachusetts exposing him
to the vast and rich history of
American organ building.
He continued his training
and service work apprentice-
ship while on breaks from
his studies at Ohio Wesleyan
University. Murphy received
a Bachelors of Music degree
in Organ Performance from
Ohio Wesleyan in 1983. After
additional apprenticeships with
several companies, he founded
his company in 1987.
He said his work as an
organist has contributed to his
pragmatic understanding of the
needs of both the musician and
instrument. Today his work in-
volves the disciplines required
in design and construction of
new pipe organs and the resto-
ration of existing instruments
for congregations across the
United States.
Murphy is a member of the
Associated Pipe Organbuilders
of America, the Organ His-
torical Society, The American
Institute of Organbuilders and
the American Guild of Organ-
ists.

To keep pace with a rapidly evolving market, the 9th-generation Honda Civic under-
goes a substantial makeover for the 2013 model year. Key revisions include an all-
new body structure, standard Bluetooth connectivity, refreshed front and rear styling
on sedan models and more premium, soft-touch materials inside.
A number of modications to the chassis, suspension and steering have trans-
formed the 2013 Honda Civic into a surprisingly adept performer. The lions
share of the credit for this above-average drivability goes to the next-generation
ACE II body structure thats both more rigid and lighter than its predecessor.
Offering the type of steering and pedal response that other automakers could
only dream of delivering is a testament to the engineering integrity of the
Honda Civic.

Forever Young Derby
teaches children to
fish, care for lake
While the focus of the
Forever Young Kids Fishing
Derby is fshing and family
fun, the community may not
be aware the event also offers
opportunities for children to
learn to fsh and to care for
Lake eston Wilson and its
water life.
all of the organizations
involved help the kids learn
how to fsh. They (children)
also learn what not to throw
in the lake and how valuable
the park, lake and water life
are., said Linda Young,
derby founder, who estab-
lished the derby in memory of
her late husband, Lawrence e.
Bud Young.
Children will also learn how
to properly dispose of fshing
line in receptacles provided at
the lake. Willy Jones came up
with the idea for the recycling
containers and constructed
them, along with other chil-
dren at the Waverly Com-
munity House Comm Camp.
Fishing line litter is a major
threat to marine life, including
fsh and turtles.
Staff from Trout Unlimited
will be on hand to help the
children learn about fshing.

Corvette raffle paves
the way at library
By Joan Mead-Matsui
Abington Journal Correspondent
How many coins does Owen McVety
need to buy 27 raffe tickets to be in the run-
ning for a Chevy Corvette kit car currently
on display at the Abington Community
Library?
McVety, 6, Clarks Summit asked that
question of his father, Jim McVety, a mem-
ber of the librarys board of trustees during a
recent trip to the library.
The Corvette Owen is referring to was
donated to the library by a generous patron,
who according to Library Director Leah
Ducato Rudolph, donated it knowing we
like to do raffes to raise money for specifc
causes, she said.
It so happened that at the time it was
donated, we found out we need to replace
half of our parking lot and also make other
improvements to the lot. This wont cover
the cost entirely, but the money raised (from
the raffe) will be used toward that project.
The car is battery operated and is fully
assembled and ready to go. It boasts forward
and reverse, keyless remote alarm, a radio
and horn, and has two speeds.
McVety said of the raffe, Its a raffe
for a kids product and that seems ftting
because the library does so many things for
kids and families. Were excited about com-
munity support from individuals and even
local Chevy dealers are getting involved as
well.
The raffe is sponsored in part by Syl-
vester Chevrolet and Tom Hesser, both of
whom were eager to support the library, ac-
cording to McVety. Not only because they
are Corvette lovers, but because they know
how much libraries mean to local communi-
ties. Were so grateful for their generosity,
said McVety.
He added, People interested in Corvettes
and really any topic for that matter will
fnd no better place than the library to learn
all about them. We have countless books,
magazines and digital resources for enthu-
siasts of all stripes. So were encouraging
everyone to come by the library and buy
a ticket, get a book and see what were all
about.
The drawing will be held June 30, which
also coincides with the 60th anniversary of
when the frst Chevy Corvettes came off the
assembly line in Flint, Mich. June 30, 1953.
Chevrolet has put more than 1.5 million
Corvettes on the road since they were frst
introduced in 1953, but only one lucky win-
ner will have this classically designed kid
Corvette to call their own, said McVety.
Raffe tickets are $5 at the library located
at 1200 W grove St., S abington Twp. Tick-
ets must be purchased before June 30. For
more information, call 570.587-3440.
Breakfast
of Rotarians
By RoBeRt toMKaVaGe
rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
CLaRKS SUMMIT- The
Rotary Club of the abingtons
is hoping a new morning meet-
ing will increase membership
in the organization.
Many members were strug-
gling to attend the lunch meet-
ings due to work constraints
and were pleased with the new
opportunity.
I have trouble getting to the
noon meetings, Dr. Skip Nel-
son of Clarks Summit said. I
worked through several and if
I had cases lined up, youre not
going to see me. This is much
more convenient.
Michael Wademan, of Dal-
ton, also took advantage of the
new time.
I can make more time for
the meeting in the morning,
he said.
eileen Christian, of glenburn
Twp., believes Rotary is critical
to community.
Rotary is instrumental in
making the town what it is,
she said. also, the global
aspect is very appealing to me.
Were always giving back in
some way.
Rotary Club president John
Hambrose was pleased with the
turnout of 14 people at the frst
meeting, May 23.
Were hoping to catch
people on the way to work,
he said. I think we have to
reach out to new groups. Weve
known we needed to do this for
a long time. We want to make
Rotary available to people who
arent available at lunch. If
people didnt work right in the
Abingtons, it kept them from
attending.
According to Hambrose, the
club plans to meet every Thurs-
day at 7:15 a.m. at the Glen-
burn Grill, excluding holidays.
Its a great group, he
added. everyone is energetic
and friendly. We have some
stalwart members, but all orga-
nizations need to keep things
fresh with new people coming
in. Rotary is a great way to
serve your community.
Sandie Lamanna, of Clarks
Summit, a professor at The
University of Scranton felt
guilty for missing the lunch
meeting and was instrumental
is forming the morning session.
My classes dont allow me
the attend the meetings and I
didnt feel like I was making a
contribution, she said.

Commander
reflects on
years served
By Linda Scott
Abington Journal Correspondent
Memorial Day, observed the
last Monday each May, was
declared a national holiday by
Congress in 1971. It began as a
way to honor the soldiers who
had died in the Civil War. After
World War I, ceremonies were
held for veterans from all wars
who had lost their lives.
The national holiday is also
a time for veterans to refect on
their own service time.
Steuart J. Bailey, Clarks
Summit, completed two years
as a student at the Valley Forge
Military Academy and then
one year at Bucknell Univer-
sity. When he was about 20 he
joined the U.S. Army and was
sent to Berlin, Germany.
Back then Berlin was
a divided city between the
Americans, Russian, French
and British. The Berlin Wall
was not erected at the time,
he said
He would spend two years in
the Army becoming a special-
ist.
I enjoyed it very much, he
said.
Bailey later received Solider
of the Year.
I must have done the right
thing. .
After the service, he would
work at S. J. Bailey and Sons
Inc., which was founded by
his grandfather. The company,
which was in business 97
years, made craftsman furni-
ture.
Now Bailey serves as admin-
istrative assistant at Veterans
Affairs in Scranton. He and his
wife Sandra have fve children
and nine grandchildren.

Resident to test his mettle at Navy program
Gavin ODonnell, 17, of
Greenfeld Twp, a rising senior
at Lakeland Jr./Sr. High School
has been selected to partici-
pate in the frst session of the
United States Naval Academy
Summer
Seminar in
Annapolis,
Md. from
June 1-6.
ODonnell
was one
of 2,550
applicants
selected out of
more than 18,000 that applied.
Its a great honor and
quite a feat, Rob ODonnell,
Gavins father, said. They
really scrutinize your GPA,
SAT scores, and community
achievements and involvement.
I think the fact that Gavin is a
certifed lifeguard looked good
on his application.
The application for the Sum-
mer Seminar also serves as an
application to the Naval Acad-
emy. According to Gavin, there
are a few reasons he applied
for the exclusive opportunity.
One, actually going to the
school is a big opportunity,
he said. They have Division
1 sports, but also a big thing is
the ability to further yourself
not just athletically, but aca-
demically. Its a great school.
According to a press release
from the United States Na-
val Academy, the Summer
Seminar teaches prospective
applicants about life at the Na-
val Academy, where academ-
ics, athletics and professional
training are key elements in
developing the nations lead-
ers. Each student will attend
a six-day session and experi-
ence a glimpse of USNAlife.
Students will have the oppor-
tunity to live in Bancroft Hall,
eat in King Hall and participate
in academic and leadership
workshops. They will also take
part in daily physical train-
ing involving group runs and
conditioning exercises.
Its a great opportunity for
the Naval Academy to try out
potential future offcers and
high school juniors to see if the
Navy is right for them, Rob
ODonnell said.
Gavin is eager to see what
it takes to be a member of the
United States Naval Academy.
I defnitely want to learn
what the academy is all about,
he said. Obviously, the
military is known for how hard
they push people. I want to
learn what thats like and see if
Im up for the challenge.
The Summer Seminar has an
academic focus, with each stu-
dent attending eight 90-minute
workshops, covering subjects
from information technology,
naval architecture and mechan-
ical engineering, to oceanogra-
phy, mathematics, history and
meteorology. Students will also
participate in seamanship and
navigation classes and will take
a cruise aboard a Navy Yard
Patrol (YP) Craft to apply what
they will learn in class. Naval
Academy Midshipmen lead
Summer Seminar with over-
sight by active-duty Navy and
Marine Corps offcers.
Gavin has been able to bal-
ance success both academically
and athletically at Lakeland.
He credited his family and
coaches for keeping him on the
right path. Along with being a
three-year starter for the foot-
ball team, Gavin has qualifed
for states the past two years in
track and feld. In the 4x4 relay
as a sophomore, and triple
jump and 4x4 this season.
ODonnell currently has a 3.74
GPAand scored a 1730 on the
three-part SAT.
My mom, Lisette, and dad
have always been on me that
academics always come frst,
Gavin said. They push me in
the classroom and teach me
how to manage my time. Also,
athletically, if Im not putting
100 percent into it, then I better
be that way unless Im not go-
ing to be doing it.
Coach Wasilchak has had
a big infuence on me. Hes a
health teacher at the school and
he knows academically that
you have to be working hard
just to be on the feld, because
being on the feld is a privi-
lege.
Gavin believes his time spent
at Lakeland has helped prepare
him for life after high school.
When I came to Lakeland,
I was always pretty good at
school, but athletically I really
wasnt much, he said. The
coaches and my parents always
worked with me to become
better at academics, athletics
and becoming a leader, and
thats what the Academy is all
about.
ODonnell is being re-
cruited by schools from the Ivy
League, Patriot League and
MAC 10 Conference.

Intermediate School in Royers-
ford placed second, and Ava
DAlessandro, a sixth-grade
student from Duryea placed
third for eastern Pa. The three
students will receive gift cards
for their winning entries.
We are excited that so
many students participated
and used their creativity to
express the need to protect our
watersheds, said Pennsylva-
nia American Water President
Kathy L. Pape. The contest is
a fun and meaningful way to
help them better understand the
importance of environmental
stewardship.
As the grand prize winner,
Shannon will have her artwork
featured on bloomer cards
distributed across the state by
Pennsylvania American Water.
Bloomers are seed-flled cards
that, when planted and tended,
produce a variety of wildfow-
ers.
All students from northeast
Pennsylvania who participated
in the art contest will have
their artwork displayed during
RiverFest at Nesbitt Park and
the River Common along the
Susquehanna River. The event,
which runs June 21 to 23, fea-
tures environmental exhibits,
three river sojourns, childrens
activities, nature walks and
entertainment on both banks of
the river. The event culminates
with the annual Dragon Boat
Races June 23. Pennsylvania
American Water is sponsor of
the annual RiverFest celebra-
tion.
Pennsylvania American
Waters contest requires the
students to accompany their
artwork with a short descrip-
tion of how watershed protec-
tion affects them personally.
After reviewing the entries, a
panel of judges selected three
top drawings from both eastern
and western Pennsylvania
before naming Shannon as the
grand prize winner.
Pennsylvania American Wa-
ter, a subsidiary of American
Water, is the largest water util-
ity in the state, providing water
and/or wastewater services
to approximately 2.2 million
people.

Abington Heights grad returns to
alma mater for commissioning
By Mary Chuff
Abington Journal Correspondent
Kaleigh Namiotka spent
the last four years of her life
at Villanova University and
shell spend the next four at the
Kornberg School of Dentistry
at Temple University. But last
Tuesday, May 21, Namiotka
returned to her roots for her
commissioning ceremony as a
second lieutenant in the United
States Army.
Namiotkas commissioning
ceremony took place in the
library of Abington Heights
High School. Normally, can-
didates are commissioned in a
military offce, but Namiotka
is different from usual can-
didates. Namiotka graduated
Summa Cum Laude from Vil-
lanova University, where she
maintained a spot on the deans
list for four years, according to
her mother Jude Namiotka.
She is also one of 70 recipi-
ents nationwide to receive a
scholarship from the Health
Professions Program. The
scholarship is very diffcult
to earn and requires a lot of
educational standards, Sfc.
Todd Brenecki, a recruiting
offcer said.
Brenecki is a healthcare
recruiter for the U.S. Army
Medical Department U.S.
Recruitment Commission.
Brenecki is the offcer who
recruited Namiotka.
Brenecki said Namiotkas
commissioning was planned
at her alma mater as a way to
give back to the school that
had a hand in her education.
She graduated as the 2009
Abington Heights Salutatorian.
Namiotka said she was told
that her commissioning cer-
emony would be taking place
at Abington Heights High
School. But when she arrived
to the high school library, she
was surprised by the audience
that greeted her.
Namiotka said she had been
expecting a small ceremony
with her offcers and her fam-
ily. But, to her surprise, her
former teachers and admin-
istrators had been invited to
the ceremony. Several current
Abington Heights students
were also in attendance. The
students who attended were
all considering careers in the
armed forces.
Capt. Tommy Sandmel
conducted Namiotkas com-
missioning ceremony. After
asking Namiotka to raise her
right hand and repeat an oath,
Sandmel presented Namiotka
with a silver dollar.
Presenting a newly com-
missioned offcer with a sliver
dollar is a tradition that dates
back to colonial times. In 1816,
second lieutenants received
$25 monthly base pay, a ration
allowance of $3 and an allow-
ance of $1 for their enlisted
advisor, Sandmel wrote in an
email. Although the practice of
paying an enlisted advisor is
defunct, the mentorship con-
tinued. Sandmel wrote that the
tradition of paying an enlisted
advisor is what is thought to
have sparked the tradition of
the silver dollar salute.
By tradition, the silver
dollar is the only coin given in
exchange for the frst salute,
Sandmel wrote. Anewly -com-
missioned second lieutenant
will give the silver dollar to the
frst offcer that salutes him or
her.
This coin should represent
the deep-felt gratitude for
the mentorship and lessons
imparted by the Non Commis-
sioned Offcer on his Lieuten-
ant before he sends him out
into the world to embark in the
brotherhood and profession of
arms, Sandmel wrote.
After Namiotka was present-
ed with her silver dollar, the
students were given a chance
to speak with Namiotka about
their own futures in the armed
forces.
Im excited for her, Sam
Kontz, an Abington Heights
junior said. Shes doing
something not everyone has
the courage to do.
Kontz said he hopes to be
admitted to the U.S. Naval
Academy following high
school and eventually join the
Marine Corps. He added that
Namiotkas return to her old
high school served as a little
motivation for himself and his
fellow students.
Much like the high school
students in attendance, Na-
miotka has known for a long
time that she wanted to be in
the health profession and the
military. Namiotka said she
became interested in dentistry
in middle school.
After graduating from the
Kornberg School of Dentistry
at Temple University, Nami-
otka will be recommissioned as
a captain, Brenecki said.
She added that, following
her graduation from dental
school, she will be required to
serve four years of active duty.
Although Namiotka doesnt
know where she will be sta-
tioned, she said she was able
to request several locations.
Among them were Italy and
Germany.
I set a life plan and Im on a
course, Namiotka said of her
education and career.
A.H.H.S. students collect donations
for Oklahoma tornado victims
By Jason riedMiller
Abington Journal correspondent
Abington Heights High
School sophomore Leah Sil-
verman knows how fortunate
we are in Northeast Pa. when
comes to weather.
We live in a safe area, she
said, stationed at her dona-
tion table outside the school
cafeteria.
When Leah saw the in-
juries and loss of homes in
Oklahoma after the May 20
tornado occurred she decided
she needed to help.
Although the May 23 dona-
tion drive was directed toward
students, Silverman, with help
from her mother, is organizing
more relief drives at locations
to be announced at a later
date.
We hope to have baked
goods for those who wish
to donate, she said of the
planned events.
Helping Sliverman with the
donations was fellow sopho-
more Rachel Gilmore.
My dad is from Okla-
homa, Gilmore said, and
I have cousins who still live
a half mile from where the
tornado hit. It really brings it
home home for me.

ing the May 20 Glenburn

including the provision that the
vehicles will be removed by

I make the annual trek to
our local libraries annual
book sales, not only because
Ill get great bargains, but
also because I know that one
readers castaway may turn
out to be anothers treasure.
Such was the case when I
found a slim little book by
Annie Dillard at the Dalton
Librarys recent sale. Shes
best known for her creative
nonfction, such as the Pulitzer
Prize-winning Pilgrim at
Tinkers Creek, but The
Maytrees represents one of
her rare forays into the world
of fction. Although its plot
follows the classic boy meets
girl, boy gets girl, boy loses
girl, boy gets girl formula of
romantic comedy, be warned:
its not the sort of schmaltzy
romance novel you can zip
through during an afternoon
at the beach or pool. Instead,
The Maytrees is book to
savor slowly, the way youd
sip a glass of fne wine.
Set mostly on Cape Cod,
that skinny curlicue of land
that looks, on maps, like a
curved fnger beckoning to
the Atlantic Ocean, The
Maytrees tells the story of
Toby Maytree, a poet and
sometime house-mover and
carpenter, and Lou Bigelow,
a tall, bookish, and taciturn
woman whose beauty is such
that Toby frst mistakes her
for Ingrid Bergman. After a
brief, but careful courtship,
they marry, and the intensity
of their passion sparks in Toby
what will be a lifelong effort
to decode loves mysteries.
At frst, hes consumed by
the questions of whether men
and women love differently,
and of who enjoys lovemaking
more: the man or the woman?
While he ponders these ques-
tions, he and Lou live a gentle,
uncomplicated life, spending
most of their time reading
(300 books a year between the
two of them), making love,
and partying with a collection
of raffsh and colorful friends,
including Deary Hightoe, a
free spirit who often sleeps
rough on the dunes. In due
time, they have a son, Pete,
a bright and charming child
whose love, at age 11, of fsh-
ing foreshadows his eventual
occupation. Girls, however,
Pete fnds less interesting
than frogs, and noisier.
He owned rocks he respected
more. Of course that will
change.
Dillard structures The
Maytrees, which is essen-
tially a meditation on love,
in fve parts, much like an
ancient Greek play, and the
story of Tobys and Lous
marriage takes place in the
books prologue. At the begin-
ning of what amounts to the
second act, the Maytrees have
been married for 14 years,
and Toby, experiencing what
we might consider a mid-life
crisis, announces that he is
leaving Lou and moving to
Maine with Deary. Later, he
asks himself whether he left
Lou because he had stopped
loving her. Not at all. His
abiding heart-to-heart with
her merely got outshouted,
he decides. Eventually, he
will wonder whether he has
actually loved Deary for 20
years, and ruminate on why
love, apparently absolute,
can keeping recurring. Finally,
in his 60s, he decides that
lasting love may be simply a
matter of the willful focus of
attention.
Meanwhile, Lou struggles
to adjust to the abrupt depar-
ture of the man she will never
stop loving. Although she
enjoys the pleasures that come
with being single again the
freedom to read uninterrupted
as long as she wants; quiet;
eating crackers in bed she is
devastated. Tobys departure
is, after all, the second time
shes been abandoned by a
man she loves. When she was
12, her father left for work one
morning and never returned.
The young Lou watches her
mother tallying her fathers
faults and perfdies. She did
not know then that polish-
ing this grudge would be her
mothers lone project for the
balance of her life. Perhaps
because she doesnt want to
waste her own life, Lou avoids
blaming either Toby or Deary,
although she is decimated by
their betrayal. Astrong and
determined woman, she de-
cides she will fnd peace only
by choosing to let go.
In the surprising, touch-
ing, and totally satisfying last
acts of The Maytrees, this
love story comes full circle,
and in the end, Dillard reverts
to her abiding interest in the
natural world to describe how
Lou, now in her late 60s,
imagines what will happen to
all she has learned when she
dies. Bacteria would unhook
her painstakingly linked
neurons and fing them over
their shoulders and carry them
home to chew up for their hor-
rifc babies, she decides. This
thought bothers her not at all;
she has always accepted the
realities of life and death.
In her nonfction book, The
Writing Life, Dillard says
readers hope that writers will
illuminate and inspire us with
wisdom, courage, and the pos-
sibility of meaningfulness.
The Maytrees demonstrates
that she can practice what she
preaches. By giving us a char-
acter like Lou, whose com-
passion, generosity of spirit,
and ability to love and forgive
serve as examples of how to
live a meaningful life, Dillard
both illuminates and inspires.
Her philosophical fights and
compressed, evocative lan-
guage require the same careful
concentration you would give
when reading a wonderful

Solution for
feral cats
By BEn FREda
Abington Journal Correspondent
DALTON - At the Dalton
Council meeting, May 9,
Lisa Dixon, employee of
Bunker Hill Veterinary Hos-
pital in Factoryville, talked
about a program to help
Dalton with the problem of
feral cats roaming around
the neighborhoods. She
mentioned that the Gather-
ing Place Animal Rescue in
Clarks Summit will help pay
to spay and neuter feral cats.
We have in the last three
years spayed and neutered
approximately 3,000 cats,
and unfortunately, its a
huge problem, said Dixon.
Theyre still out there.
Dixon also mentioned that
the Bunker Hill Veterinary
Hospital is spaying and neu-
tering on an average of two
to three colonies, or 20 to 30
cats, per month.
The problem lies in
the fact that people dont
care about the cats that are
outdoors trying to make it
on their own, stated Dixon.
So, what happens is they
breed and every female cat
can have a minimum of two
litters a year, and thats be-
tween four to six kittens.
Dixon said that she needs
people in the community to
trap and transport feral cats
to Bunker Hill Veterinary
Hospital for spaying and
neutering, which will be paid
for by the Gathering Place.
Dalton Council president
Bill Salva asked, Once you
spay and neuter them, do
you bring them back?
Dixon replied that the
hospital will put an ear tip
on the cat to let people know
that they are neutered, and
will release them.
Salva asked Dixon if she
could place posters in the
library or post offce about
this service. She agreed.
Dixon who worked with
feral cats for 25 years said,
Some of them can become
great house pets. But its an
individual situation.
Salva agreed that the
ready, set, trap system is
the most humane way of
dealing with feral cats. He
said they need to notify resi-
dents. Dixon agreed to seek
volunteers and update board
members.
In other news, board
member Lorraine Daniels
mentioned that Dan Demora,
art teacher at Lackawanna
Trail Elementary Center, will
help 15 students make a tile
mosaic mural this summer.
We may want to ask them
to have it displayed in the
Platt Park across the street or
maybe display it partially in
the library (Dalton Commu-
nity Library), said Daniels.
This is sponsored by the
library for arts.
Board member Gus Vlas-
sis said a key issue is to fnd
a permanent place for the
mosaic. Its a great project,
said Vlassis. I think the li-
brary and the board is really
excited about this possibility.
It gets the kids involved, and
something that the commu-
nity will enjoy.
Former C.S. resident, musician
launches Kickstarter campaign
Ryan Brown was 12 when
he received his frst guitar
as a gift. From that moment,
music permeated its way into
Browns life. Singing and
songwriting became second
nature and Brown always had a
hunch he would pursue writing
music as a profession.
The former Clarks Summit
resident harmonized his way
through Berklee College of
Music. Brown graduated in
May of 2011. He wrote and
produced his frst offcial EP,
The Trail, late in 2011.
He recently relocated to
Nashville, where, known as
Ryan Harris Brown to the
music world, he seeks to start
the next chapter in his quest:
creating another record. Al-
though my vision at frst was
to record a full length, 10 to 12
song album, Ive arrived at the
decision to make a six song EP
instead. I need to lay the foun-
dation for which a full -length
album could be made during
the next couple of years, says
Brown. Unfortunately, afford-
ing the cost of producing good-
quality music with frugality in
mind is no easy feat.
Enter Kickstarter, a website
(www.kickstarter.com) that
allows friends, family, and fans
to contribute to an artists proj-
ect by donating any amount of
money to their cause.
Browns Kickstarter cam-
paign runs from June 1 to 30.
He hopes to raise $2,500 to pay
for the costs of this endeavor.
Donations will help pay for
production, engineering, mix-
ing, album design, CD pressing
and paying the other musicians
Brown has commissioned. For
details, visit http://www.ryan-
harrisbrown.com. or at http://

to Bring to the Beach story these Hello Beach

founded by Francene Pisano Dudziec, owner of
Monogram Muse online gift boutique. Pisano

DailyCandy a nationally e-mail newsletter
based in NewYork, with published editions
specifc to a dozen other cities, featured May 20
their What to Bring to the Beach story. The
list included Hello Beach mesh-bottomed totes,
a new seaside product founded by Francene Pi-
sano Dudziec, owner of Monogram Muse online
gift boutique. Made of 100 percent cotton fabric
for the top and the lower part of mesh, this
unique design allows for grains of sand to sift
through the bag. Bring home the beach. Leave
the sand.
We were featured directly between Stella
McCartney swimwear and Pottery Barn beach
balls. Its truly and honor to be included among
those retailers. We are very grateful for this na-
tional publicity as a new business, said Pisano
Dudziec, a Moosic resident and former Abington
Business and Professional Association president.
Inspired by shell-collecting children, these
beachcomber bags are perfect for collecting
treasures or rocks along seaside or lake. Its mesh
bottom allows for the sand to sift out and can be
rinsed directly in the water.
My kids love collecting seashells, but wet,
sandy shells, left in plastic buckets in the hot
summer sun or car create a awful smell that
you wont want to bring home. Our darling
treasures bag is unique for little fngers to col-
lect their cherished collections without stinky,
sandy buckets of wet shells to lug back home.
Their treasures can be rinsed through the bag.
Our larger tote is perfect for drying out bathing
suits, said Pisano Dudziec.
Available in two sizes and four colors, lime,
pink, blue and tangerine, the totes are hand sewn
in the U.S. Bags may be personalized with a
monogram or messages from a favorite lake or
beach destination such as My First Shells from
the Cape May, Treasures from Myrtle Beach,
Future Beachcomber.
Daily Candy is known as a trendsetter source
in major cities and for its terse, informal writing
stylestories appear to come from a friend.
They have 1.4 million unique subscribers in

According to John Madden,
Director of NPR Star Wars
audio dramas, Anyone whos
ever listened to radio drama
will testify to the fact that a
play you hear will (remain)
in your mind 12 years later
youll remember it vividly.
And the reason youll re-
member it vividly is because
youve done the work it
lives in your imagination.
The Dietrich Radio Player will
help us work our imaginations
through their live radio drama
performance on Tuesday, June
4 at 7 p.m. We invite you to
join us that evening as we go
back in time to experience a
few memorable radio dramas.
Directed by Hoyt Keiser and
Esther Harmatz, the group
will perform My Friend Irma
Seeing Ghosts; Dick Tracy
The Case of the Big Top
Murders and the ever popular
Whos On First? by Bud
Abbott and Lou Costello. I
cant wait to hear what sound
effects they have in store for us
that evening. Admission is free
and the performance will be
followed by a light reception.
Tickets will be available at the
door or they can be reserved
by calling 570.996.1500.
Then June 5, the Dietrich
will be sponsoring a bus trip to
Broadway to see Rodgers and
Hammersteins Cinderella.
This play has received nine
Tony nominations including
Best Revival of a Musical
and Best Book of a Musical,
which was written by part-time
Tunkhannock resident Douglas
Carter Beane. After the show,
Douglas Carter Beane has ar-
ranged for us to have a Q &A
with some of the cast. Follow-
ing the Q &A, we will enjoy
a family-style Italian dinner
at Carmines. There are still
a couple of tickets remaining
so call us at 570.996.1500 for
more information or to reserve
seats.
And with June readily ap-
proaching, now is the time
to start thinking about sum-
mer camps for kids. We have
something for everyone. For
aspiring thespians, Michaela
Moore of All About Theatre
will be offering two Acting
Camps for Kids. During these
camps, children ages
six to twelve will use
their imaginations
and learn all about
acting through theatre
games, improvisa-
tion, storytelling, play
making, character
creation and more.
Campers will create their
own characters and a play,
which they will perform for
family and friends at the
end of each camp. The
frst acting camp of the
summer will be held Mon-
day through Friday, July 8
through 12 from 1:30 p.m.
to 3 p.m. and the second
camp will be held at the
same time July 22 through 26.
For those children who wish
to explore the visual arts, our
artists-in-residence Amy and

Glory Road: An Exhibit of Rail-
road Themed Posters and Photo-Il-
lustrations at Steamtown National
Historic Site (NHS) in Scranton
June 3 to July 6.
Pierce said his interest in trains
and railroading began sometime be-
tween the ages of 5 and 12, when his
family lived in NewYork and trav-
eled by train every year to spend the
summer with relatives in Ohio.
I remember things like the
Horseshoe Curve, he said, the sta-
tions in Pittsburgh, things like that.
So I really always had a fondness for
it. And then of course, having a local
National Park [Steamtown NHS]
here, its just amazing.
According to an exhibit news
release, the show highlights the
remains of a once thriving industry,
the people who worked the railroads
and the passengers who rode them
and captures the imagery and ter-
minology that was once used in the
early days of American railroading.

New Books on the Li-
brarys Parenting Shelf
Two new series which may
be of help to parents of school-
age children coping with either
bullying or technological safety
issues have just been added
to the Parenting Collection.
This collection is located in the
Childrens Room near the Be-
ginning Reader books. The text
of each of the new books is
addressed to the young reader
but is ideal for use by a parent
and child together to open up
discussion.
Stand Up: Bullying Preven-
tion Series
What You Can Do to Stop
Bullying, by Addy Ferguson.
The book begins by defning
bullying and moves on to dis-
cuss why people bully and the
effects of bullying. It advises
children to speak up and stand
up for friends who are bullied,
while also suggesting that an
adult may have ways to help
stop bullying situations. The
book also has suggestions on
how to make the school day
bully free.
Online Bullying, by Addy
Ferguson. The book empha-
sizes ways in which children
can protect themselves from
bullying from peers who use
e-mail, instant messaging,
texting, or social-networking
sites. It addresses the possible
effects of such bullying tactics,
advises talking with an adult
for support in putting an end to
the situation, and outlines how
to go about reporting online
bullying.
Group Bullying: Exclusion
and Ganging Up, by Addy
Ferguson. Chapters in this
book deal with issues such as
cliques in school, how to walk
away and ignore a group that is
ganging up on an individual,
and the importance of letting
an adult know about group bul-
lying situations.
Bullying with Words:
Teasing, Name-Calling and
Rumors, by Addy Ferguson.
The book emphasizes the idea
that walking away from the
taunts, ignoring him or her and
not fghting the bullys verbal
attacks are the best defenses. It
also makes clear that telling a
trusted adult about the situation
and getting their help will not
make the bullying worse, as
some children believe.
Are You a Bully? by Addy
Ferguson. The book points
out reasons why some boys or
girls become bullies, including
the fact that they may not like
other people or feel very con-
nected to others. It encourages
children to seriously consider
the effects of bullying and how
it makes a victim feel. Again,
the advice is to talk to an adult
and ask for help to effect a
behavior change.
Fact Finders: Tech Safety
Smarts Series
The four titles in this series
ideal for parent/child sharing
include: Safe Social Network-
ing, by Heather E. Schwartz;
Cell Phone Safety, by Kathy
Allen; Gaming Safely, by
Allyson V. Schrier, and Cy-
berbullying, by Heather E.
Schwartz. The series encour-
ages children to recognize that
technology can open doors
to unsafe situations and that
they can protect themselves by
being alert to online dangers.
The books are handy guides,
designed to be child-friendly
and to teach tech-savyy ways
to keep technology useful, safe
and fun.

Prince Eric
a popular subject for pho-
tographers since the early
history of the medium dating
back to the mid-19th century,
according to the news release.
The expression Glory Road
dates back nearly as far as a
sentimental term that was often
used by both railroad workers
and passengers.
Pierce said the exhibit
includes a total of 24 images,
which took him about a year to
create.
He is a self-taught freelance
graphic designer, photographer
and retired manager in the flm
production industry.
His work has been featured
in several local shows, such
as the Clarks Summit Art and
Wine Festival and the AFA
Gallery in Scranton, as well as
many exhibits in New Jersey.
He is a member of the North-
east Photography Club.
Of the images in the ex-
hibit, he said, Theyre all
photographs that I enhance and
manipulate digitally to make
graphic designs of the overall
images and to add some infor-
mation about the terminology
that was used throughout the
history of the railroads. I use
certain words, catchphrases,
terms that were used in rail-
roading and apply them to my
graphic designs. So theres a
bit of history along with the
overall design.
The exhibit will be on dis-
play during regular park hours
and Pierce will also host an
artist meet and greet June 9,
from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Chang-
ing Exhibits Gallery located
on the 2 foor in the Visitors
Center at Steamtown National
Historic Site.
The exhibit and artist meet
and greet are included in the
parks daily entrance fee and
the project is funded in part by
a Lackawanna County Arts and
Culture grant.
Pierce said he hopes the im-
ages in the exhibit will help the
viewers to see certain things
in a different light, as well as
enjoy learning some history.
To him, the exhibit repre-
sents the way that things are

a meeting between Seamans,
Dieter, the Planning Com-
mission and, if appropriate, a
township supervisor to address
each of the issues of concern
and come to an understanding.
Board members and Seamans
agreed with the idea and Mas-
similian said he would talk
to [his] people about it. He
added that Dieter already stated
his position on the issues.
At this point, someone
has to make a decision, he
said, citing for example, the
Buckeye Pipeline easement
issue. Massimilian requested
Auriemma read aloud a letter
from Buckeye, stating the com-
pany will deal privately with
Ransom Recreational Shooting
Sports on the matter and does
not wish interference from the
township. Massimilian said he
believes that letter satisfes the
township on any issues with
Buckeye.
Seamans asked if a grad-
ing plan had yet been shown
to Buckeye, and Massimilian
said it doesnt matter. Seamans
argued it does matter.
Auriemma said, It appears
to me you would have to get
directions from our engineer
to present to Buckeye, so they
can act according to what our
engineer
You dont have the author-
ity, though, Massimilian
replied. Thats the point.
Devita then asked if there
will be grading in the area of
the easement and Massimil-
ian explained there will be no
grading on the easement, only
near it.
He said a gravel driveway
will be put over the easement
and preparations were already
made for that. He repeated
he is dealing directly with
Buckeye.
Auriemma stated it would
eventually have to come before
the Planning Commission,
and Massimillian disagreed,
saying it is a private agreement
between Ransom Recreational
Shooting Sports and Buckeye.
I think were missing the
point, DeVita interjected.
John [Seamans] says he
doesnt have enough infor-
mation to render a decision
because theres no indication
on the plans that there wont be
grading on it. And I think thats
what Johns concern is.
And that kind of segments
into the fence issue, she
continued. You know there
has to be a fence, and John
says you submitted plans and
theres areas indicated where
a fencing will be, but I think
we have to address the size of
the fence, the material of the
fence, because its a real safety
concernYou might have ap-
propriate plans, we dont have
that informationI dont think
its come to the Commission
yetto make a decision of
yes thats appropriate
She again suggested the par-
ties meet to work through the
issues.
I think your point is well
taken, Massimilian replied.
And I think that weve tried
that. We tried it two years ago
and we got nowhere. The same
type of things cropped up in
the engineers letterasking
for things that are out of scope
of the ordinance. Its just re-
hashing the same stuff. We got
zero ground covered.
Planning commission mem-
ber Brad Steckel pointed out
when that meeting happened,
Massimilians engineer was not
present.
He said he doesnt under-
stand why he wouldnt want
to have another meeting with
both engineers present to work
things out.
Massimilian said he hadnt
made a decision on that yet.
The bottom line is weve
gone down this road and gotten
nowhere.
If we cant get you guys to
have a meeting, Steckel said,
Our next step is to reject your
plans. Simple.
Well see you in court
then, Massimilian said, to
which Steckel replied, Thats
fne.
DeVita jumped in, explain-
ing the Planning Commission
is merely an advisory board
which recommends approval
or rejection of the plans, and
the fnal decision rests with the
Supervisors.
We just seem to be butting
heads, she said, but all we
want is appropriate informa-
tion to satisfy the ordinance in
order for the Planning Com-
mission to give advice and
recommendation to the Town-
ship Supervisors. Just because
we may deny it, doesnt mean
that you go to court. It still has
to go before the Supervisors
and they may approve itwho
knows.
She mentioned revised plans
have still not been submitted
prior to the engineers last
review. Massimilian stated he
intends to submit revised plans,
but has been waiting on a re-
sponse to the Oct. 24 letter.
DeVita asked Seamans if he
had written a response to that
letter and Seamans said he had
sent one to the Supervisors.
Massimilian said he never got
one. Township Secretary Sarah
Griggs reminded Massimil-
ian he did not want a response
from the engineer, as the issues
were legal ones, to which he
replied it was still part of the
fle and he wanted it.
He added he thinks it will be
a good starting point in moving
forward to review a copy of
that letter, and he agreed to fll
out a Right to Know form
after the meeting to obtain one.
Auriemma stated no ground
was to be made that night and
again suggested setting up a
meeting for both parties.
DeVita concluded the discus-
sion, saying if Massimilian
feels he does not wish to ex-
pend any additional resources
on such a meeting and his sub-
mission is ready for a decision
from the board, Then at next
months meeting, we know
what our task is. Give us some
parameters and we will make a
decision and take it before the
board of supervisors.
Also on the agenda under
new business was a subdivi-
sion application by Horace
Davies for his property on Red
Oak Drive, a 2.1 acre lot to be
transferred to his daughter.
Seamans presented the plans
to the board members. He
said he and Township Sewage
Enforcement Offcer Osbert
Patton completed suffcient
testing of the property to
satisfy DEP requirements
and Patton signed the plan-
ning modules and submitted
necessary payment. He said
its a basic subdivision with
mostly cropland and no issues.
The board had no questions
and voted to grant preliminary
approval of the plans and
forward them to the Board of
Supervisors and Lackawanna
County.
smaller-scale projects, such as
houses. Currently, the frm is
designing a new library and
learning center for Marywood
University.
But according to Bohlin, this
mix of projects and ideas is
exactly what makes the frm so
successful.
According to Hodge, every
design is different and there is
nothing formulaic, nothing
cookie cutter to the projects
taken on by Bohlin Cywinski
Jackson.
But the architects at the frm
are constantly learning from
each project and integrating
ideas into the next design.
Its all interconnected,
Hodge said.
Hodge said all projects be-
gin with discussion and speak-
ing with the client at length.
The architect must learn how
the client is using the existing
structure and why they want
a new building. The architect
and the client then study new
trends that are being used in
current architecture. The entire
process is a fuid learning
experience, Hodge said.
The architect and the client
then regroup and apply
those ideas to the project at
hand, Hodge added.
Its understanding people
as much or as more as it is
understanding how a roof is
held up or light comes into a
building, Hodge said.
It does come down to
people and their nature, Boh-
lin said of architecture and the
design process. Architecture
is about how we make things
and how theyre crafted,
Bohlin said.
You put all that together
and you really get to make
wonderful places for people,
Bohlin said.
Hodge called the entire pro-
cess fun for both the client
and the architect.
Because the frms body
of work is so varied, Bohlin
could not name only one proj-
ect as his favorite.
Bohlin said there were
so many satisfying projects
because most architects across
the practice consider them-
selves generalist architects.
He added keeping the projects
mixed allowed for a variety of
quality projects.
Bohlin also said both he
and Hodge have backgrounds
and educations in both art
history and architecture. This
combination of both art and
architecture makes us better
architects, Bohlin said.
Hodge said he has worked
on three libraries and they are
one of his favorite types of
buildings to design. Hodge
said he likes the mix of
spaces and the various ways
to integrate creativity into the
design, calling libraries a re-
ally satisfying type of building
to work on.
What a wonderful life
we have doing these things,
Bohlin said.
children do something wrong
in the classroom, theyre
taught to say theyre sorry. If
theyre on the receiving end,
she tells them they can say
they forgive the offender but
also say I do forgive you, but
dont do it again because its
not kind. Leach also believes
in teaching the children not to
let others walk all over you.
She feels its healthy to stand
up for yourself, yet allow
forgiveness.
Something that sets Leach
apart from other teachers
is the fact that she home
schooled her three children.
I wanted my children to
learn my values and to com-
prehend the material taught.
Eventually, when
her oldest
child
turned 10,
he joined
the ffth
grade at the
(then named) Scranton
Area Christian Acad-
emy. Her other two
children eventually
attended what is now
known as Abington
Christian Academy.
Leach then started substitute
teaching with her graduate de-
gree from Marywood Univer-
sity in elementary education
with a concentration in early
childhood education. Four
years ago, she joined Abington
Christian Academy.
When asked why she chose
to teach, Leach explained that
she simply always wanted to
teach school and thought it
would be a great career to have
while raising a family.
I had the same hours as my
kids and summers off. We had
a good family time together.
Leach pointed out that
kindergarten students, in par-
ticular, are adorable. Theyre
sweet and open to learning,
she said.
They come in and give
you hugs and kisses. Its an
amazing process to watch
from how, in the beginning of
the year, they come in crying.
Within a few weeks, theyre
joining in relationships with
the other children and learning
about friendship.
The biggest payoff for
Leach though, she said, is
helping children learn and
grow emotionally, spiritually,
educationally and learn life
lessons.
I do feel like Im laying
down the foundation. I pray
what Ive taught continues
on, Leach said.
According to Shu Wu, the
mother of a fve-year-old
student of Leach, she wit-
nesses the infuence her sons
teacher has on a daily basis.
She believes there are three
reasons why she nominated
Leach: She feels Leach is the
most loving, the most patient
and the most different teacher
she knows.
I received a postcard from
her before my son started kin-
dergarten. It was Mrs. Leachs
way to welcome him to her
classroom. I have watched her
talking to the kids and you can
just tell shes full of love for
the kids. And I see a differ-
ence in my little one, Wu
explained.
Leach, a Lenoxville resi-
dent, is married to Bruce,
who is a buyer for Lockheed
Martin. They just celebrated
their 30 -year anniversary
and they share three children:
Nathaniel, 25; Amanda, 23 and
Isaiah, 12.

advances in
district play
FACTORYVILLE For a
Lackawanna Trail team eager
to play for a district champion-
ship, a full seven-inning game
could feel like an eternity. The
Lady Lions bats made sure
all seven innings would not be
necessary.
Trail erupted in the ffth
inning for nine runs over Blue
Ridge in Thursdays Class A
semifnals match for an early
12-2 win over the Red Raiders.
We stayed within ourselves
and played our softball game,
Lackawanna Trail head coach
John Brander said. We were
patient at the plate and took the
hits where they came.
Blue Ridge took the upper
hand early. Abunt single, error
and passed ball put left felder
Taylor Hall at third base in the
frst inning. Catcher Rebekah
Bayle batted in Hall with an
RBI single that gave the Red
Raiders an early 1-0 lead.
You keep the pressure on
anybody things can happen,
but when you start to throw the
ball away, thats a killer, Blue
Ridge head coach Bob Pavelski
said.

MOOSIC Pitching in a
scoreless game against the
top team in class AAAfor the
district title could make anyone
feel a little on edge. Apparently
no one told this to sophomore
Tyler Ksiazek.
We live for this, Ksiazek
said. We live for big games.
I knew wed come through in
the end.
Ksiazek proved his conf-
dence was well-deserved.
Ksiazek pitched a complete
game shutout to lead Abington
Heights past Valley View 5-0
for the Class AAAdistrict title
Monday at
PNC Field
and put
the Com-
ets into
the state high school baseball
playoffs.
Much of the game was a
duel between Ksiazek and the
Cougars starting pitcher, senior
John Kranick. The two found
success on the mound through
different styles. Kranick used
an array of punchout pitches
to send Abington Heights
hitters down, racking up 10
strikeouts in a complete game
effort, while Ksiazek was more
inclined induce ground balls
and weak fy outs and let the
stalwart defense behind him
take care of the rest.
We have a great defense,
Ksiazek said. Our defense
has been there all yearI just
throw it over the plate and let
them make the plays and I
know well come out on top.
Both starters kept the other
side in check for the frst four
innings. In the ffth, the Comets
fnally broke through. Sopho-
more designated hitter James
Fayocavitz hit a single and fol-
lowed it up with a steal to get
into scoring position.
Ksiazek, not content with
simply pitching, hit a single of
his own to knock in the frst
run of the game. Ksiazek tal-
lied two hits, a run, and an RBI
on the day.
The Cougars started the sixth
inning with the top of the order
at bat and looked to be in prime
position to tie the game or
even retake the lead. Ksiazek
responded to this challenge
with his best inning of the
game. Ksiazek retired the side
on only three pitches, severely
limiting Valley Views chance
to comeback.
Valley View head coach
Jason Munley said he credited
Ksiazeks ability to consistent-
ly throw frst-pitch strikes as a
big key to his success.
Hes a dynamite pitcher,
Munley said. Hes going to

The Lady Lions tied the
game in the bottom of the frst
thanks to an RBI triple by
left felder Gabby Truesdale
that scored infelder Cameron
Crock.
Trail added two more runs
in the third to push the score
to 3-1, but Blue Ridge held on.
Two errors in the ffth allowed
the Red Raiders to cut the lead
down to one.
The Lady Lions offense
clicked in a big way in the
bottom of the ffth. Truesdale
kicked off the rally with her
second triple of the game, this
time with the bases loaded.
Truesdales hit gave Trail a 6-2
advantage.
They came to play, Pavel-
ski said. Theyre an excellent,
well-coached team They sit
on your pitch to hit. Not what
the pitcher wants to throw you,
but what you want to hit.
Thirteen of Trails 15 plate
appearances in the ffth inning
ended with a Trail player get-
ting on base. The Lady Lions
scored nine runs to bring the
score to 12-2 and invoke the
10-run rule to end the game
early.
Truesdale came up for the f-
nal Trail at-bat and hit a game-
ending RBI single. Truesdale
went three for four in the game,
with two triples and fve RBIs.
Ive had a lot of triples this
year, Truesdale said. I really
worked hard for that one.
Crock, who ended the day
with three hits, two runs and an
RBI, said she credited several
factors behind Trails big ffth
inning.
I think once we go through
the batting order a couple
times and we get used to the
pitcher we really start to come
together, Crock said. Espe-
cially if were playing well [in
the feld]Once we do better
defensively and we all work
together and feel confdent
defensively, we know we can
hit.
Lackawanna Trail pitcher
Brianna Smarkusky earned
the win. In fve innings,
Smarkusky gave up only two
hits, two walks and two runs.
Lackawanna Trail improves
to 10-5 on the season, while
Blue Ridge ends the year with
a 4-12 record. It is the frst time
since 2005 that Blue Ridge
will not appear in the district
championship game.
Lackawanna Trail will now
face Old Forge, the 2011
district champions, Wednesday
at Mid Valley High School for
the Class Atitle. Old Forge de-
feated Forest City 10-2 in their
semifnal match Thursday.
The Lady Lions will be
playing for the chance to earn
their frst district title since
1993. Brander said the class A
championship is a major goal
for the team this season, and
said he is confdent his team
will come prepared to play in
the title game.

said. Now we gotta fnish

Dani-elles favorite genre
of music to sing is country
because of the message behind
the songs.
Theres always a story, she
said.
She hopes to follow in the
footsteps of several country
music stars.
Patsy Cline is defnitely a
big inspiration to me, she said.
She paved the road for female
singers in the country music
industry and Carrie Under-
wood and Martina McBride are
carrying that through amaz-
ingly. They know both sides of
the industry.
Dani-elle believes her vocal
instructor, Renee Grant Wil-
liams, has helped her tremen-
dously.
Its amazing, she said. If
you listened to me before and
after I started with Renee, you
can tell the difference almost
instantly. Its amazing the little
tricks that she teaches that can
improve you so immensely.
Dani-elle has been traveling
to Nashville since age 12 to
hone her singing voice.
My mom, Debbie, found
Renee online and my parents
said it would be a really good
thing to go and meet her, she
said. I had my frst lesson with
her when I was 12. I became a
CMA(Country Music Asso-
ciation) member when I was
13 and we started going to the
CMAAwards. Renee hooked
me up with Amanda Williams,
a Grammy -nominated song-
writer and I started making
contacts with writers and
producers down there.
The rising senior at Summit
Christian Academy is honored
to sing on a big stage before a
baseball game.
They were holding audi-
tions and naturally I couldnt
be there, so I sent in a tape and
before I knew it, they asked me
to sing, she said. Its a really
cool opportunity.
I love Nashville. Its like
our second home.
She is hoping that her perfor-
mance that night might lead to
bigger things down the road.
Its going to be Music
Industry Night, she said. You
never know what opportunities
will come up.
She is also scheduled to sing
at PNC Field July 4, the Meth-
odist Church of Chinchilla at 7
p.m. July 17.
Dani-elle added that she
strives to become a country
music star and hopes to some-
day be a household name.
My career goals as a
musician are to eventually
get picked up on a world tour
and share my music with the
world, she said. This is my
plan for life, there is no plan B,
because there is nothing that I
want more in life than to sing.
The Jermyn resident has
previously performed in front
of crowds approaching 10,000
during at both LaFesta Italiana
in Scranton and with the NEPA
Philharmonic in Moosic.
Dani-elle has also served
as a correspondent on Great
Country 93.7.
Its been awesome, she
said. I gotten to co-host mul-
tiple times with Chris Fox and
Brian Hughes. Theyve just
been so welcoming to me and
have kind of taken me under
their wing. They played my
song multiple times and we
made a deal that when I go to
Nashville, if anything interest-
ing happens, Ill let them all
know whats going on. Its
been pretty neat to have that
relationship with them.
She believes its important
to give back to the area and
has helped organize fundrais-
ing events for animal rescue
groups and open mic nights for
local songwriters.
Its important to give back
to the community, because I
have been blessed with such an
amazing gift and so many great
opportunities, that I feel it is
my own personal duty to share
the gift of music with as many
people as possible, she said.
Dani-elle will be competing
in the Texaco Country Show-
down in Liberty, N.Y., June 7
through Thunder Country 102.
Its a really big opportuni-
ty, she said. Brad Paisley and
LeAnn Rimes have performed
there, so Im really excited.
Dani-elle release her frst
album, Dream Big, last
year that featured three
original songs. Her next album
Eleven, featuring all origi-
nal works will be written and
produced in Nashville over the
summer with the help of Chip
Martin and Amanda Williams
and will be released Nov. 24 at
Genettis in Dickson City.
She recently formed a band,
Music City, with Jim Hitch-
cock, Madison Twp., on drums;
Jon Nova, Plains Twp., on
guitar; Ryan Doherty, Kings-
ton, on bass; Freeman White,
Nanticoke, on keyboard and
Bret Alexander. The band is
scheduled to play at the Wayne
County Fair Aug. 2 from 7 to
10 p.m.

SINGER Trail loses low scoring affair to
Old Forge in Class Atitle game
MOOSIC- Each time Lacka-
wanna Trail High School was
threatening to put runs on the
board early in the game, Old
Forge pitcher David Chromey
slammed the door.
After Trails Vic Rosa
singled to lead off the game
and Pete Murazzi was hit by a
pitch, Chromey got Billy Lee
to ground out the end inning.
In the bottom of the second,
with runners of second and
third and one out, Chromey
struck out Jared Phillips and
induced a ground ball from
Rosa.
We had opportunities in
probably four innings today,
Lackawanna Trail head coach
Todd Peters said. We just
didnt get that hit that we
needed; Chromey did a good
job shutting us down when he
had to. Thats part of baseball.
With two outs in the top of
the second, Old Forge short-
stop Brendan Wahl singled and
stole second base. Two batters
later, designated hitter Warren
Welsh knocked him in for the
only run of the game.
We had a two-out rally,
Welsh said. Brendan started
it and with the lefty pitching, I
just took it the other way and
drove in the run.
In the third inning, Trail
couldnt take advantage of
another scoring opportunity.
Lions catcher Cooper Rosiak
led off the inning with a single,
stole second and advanced
the third on a throwing error.
Facing the heart of the lineup
with no outs, Chromey was at
his best, striking out the side to
preserve the one-run lead.
I knew that I had to battle
out of it, whether I struck
everybody out or my felders
made the plays, Chromey
said. The last thing I wanted
was that run to cross the plate.
After allowing the run, Flynn
allowed just three base runners
of the fnal fve innings.
Matt Flynn pitched a heck
of a game, Peters said. You
saw two left-handers out there
both pitching their rear-ends
off. The runs were at a pre-
mium.
Peters refected on the
impact the three seniors Ben
McLaughlin, Vic Rosa and
Pete Murazzi have had on the
team.
They have put their hearts
and souls into the game, Pe-
ters said. Your heart goes out
for those guys in a 1-0 game,
the seniors dont get another
chance. They have nothing to
hang their heads over. To me,
the two best teams in the area
in Class A. Its unfortunate that
in a game like this somebody
has to lose.

GCMC brings Tai Chi
classes to Nay Aug Park
Beginning June 19, Geising-
er-Community Medical Center
will offer tai chi classes at Nay
Aug Park as part of their ongo-
ing expansion of community
wellness initiatives. Classes
will be held every Wednesday
at 9:30 a.m. through July 24.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese
tradition and practiced as a
form of exercise. Aseries of
graceful movements performed
in a slow and focused man-
ner, it also involves relaxed,
deep breathing. Due to its low
impact on muscles and joints,
the gentle practice of tai chi is
widely considered one of the
safest exercises for all ages and
ftness levels.
Tai Chi in the Park par-
ticipants should meet in Nay
Aug Park, near the Arthur
Avenue side, adjacent to the
Gentile Pavilion. Classes will
be offered for $2 per session,
and will be held rain or shine.
For more information or to
register, call Sharyn Wozniak
at 570.969.8986. When starting
any new exercise program,
consult with your doctor.

be a great one and hes only a
sophomore. Ive watched him
play before and this is exactly
what I expectedThe guys hit
some of the balls hard today,
they just couldnt fnd any
holes.
The Comets got some
insurance runs in the seventh.
Fayocavitz started the inning
by getting hit by a pitch. Back
to back infeld singles by junior
Kyle Tierney and Ksaizek
loaded the bases. Asacrifce fy
by junior Brad Smertz started
off the scoring.
Kranick came within an out
of allowing only one run in
his fnal inning. Senior Dante
Pasqualichio came through
with a base-clearing single
with two outs. Pasqualichio
was tagged out in a rundown,
but the damage had already
been done and the Comets led
5-0.
Abington Heights head
coach Bill Zalewski said his
teams patience in the fnal
inning helped them break open
the game.
John is a phenomenal
pitcher, hes got a bright future
ahead of him, Zalewski said.
To work him like we did and
get some opportunities, that
was big for us. That was the
key right there, getting baser-
unners.
Ksiazek allowed only one hit
in the fnal inning. He fnished
the shutout, allowing only fve
hits and no walks along with
four strikeouts.
Abington Heights improves
to 12-5 on the season, while
Valley View ends the year with
a 14-3 record. It is the frst dis-
trict title and frst state playoff
appearance for the Comets
since 2009.
