History comes alive on the battlefeld for teacher
Elizabeth Baumeister
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
Attired in a Civil War Union privates
uniform, complete with blue forage cap,
sack coat, wool trousers, brogans (leath-
er ankle boots) and leather straps to hold
ammunition and supplies, Lackawanna
Trail High School
history teacher
Timothy Pierce, of
Mill City, will take
up his Eneld rife
musket June 27 and
head into battle.
Battle reenact-
ment, that is.
Although the uni-
form and musket
are replicas and no
one will actually be
under re, Pierce
said he hopes the
150th Gettysburg Reenactment: A Blue
Gray Alliance Event, to be held June 27
to 30 in Gettysburg, will help bring the
history and reality of the Civil War to life
for those participating in and witnessing
the event.
He said he has previously participated
in several reenactments with his unit,
the 81st Pennsylvania, Company K and
he believes when people see the the bat-
tles with their own eyes, it helps make
it real so they can say, Wow, this really
happened. Its not just monuments on a
battleeld, or my mom and dad dragging
me around the battleeld on a 90 degree
summer day boring me.
Sometimes when youre involved
in the battles, he said, if youre in a
place in the battleeld where you cant
see anything modern, you can only see
19th century stuff, it kind of puts you
back in that time and place. Obviously,
you know youre not really going to get
shot, butits very emotional when the
battle is over and one of our buglers plays
taps and everybody stands up at atten-
tion. Sometimes you can see guys with
tears running down their face and stuff
like that. You really feel for the soldiers.
Thats why we do it, is to to honor and
remember the soldiers.
Pierce said he rst got into Civil War
reenacting when he lived in Virginia and
the lm Gettysburg was released. He
already had an interest in the Civil War
and previously considered reenacting,
but wasnt sure how to pursue it.
I was in a parking lot of a mall down
in Virginia, he said, and I stopped a guy
who had a reenacting bumper sticker on
his car. I joined a unit down there called
the 79th New York, The Highlanders.
Then when I moved here, I tracked down
some people in the 81st Pennsylvania
Company K and joined them.
He said his current unit consists of
about 50 members30 active military
men and 20 women25 of whom plan to
participate in the upcoming event, along
with many other groups from around the
country.
The reenactment will include the vari-
ous phases of the Battle of Gettysburg in
chronological order over three days. A
complete schedule can be found online
at the events website, www.bluegray-
gettysburg.com. Pierce is scheduled to
participate in McPhersons Ridge, Culps
Hill and East Cemetery Ridge on Friday,

Bringing ARTS
to the classroom
Kelly McDonough
Abington Journal Correspondent
As a former music major at
the Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music who fell
in love with
modern dance
and switched
her course of
study to reect
it, Rebecca
K a m e r o s k i
said she teach-
es her students
at Newton
Ransom Elementary School not
to fear taking risks.
The fourth grade teach-
er earned a degree locally
in elementary education
from Marywood University,
Scranton, a school respected for
its offerings in the area of art.
To the Newton Township
resident, the eld of education
seemed like the perfect t.
Says Kameroski, I thought
education would be a good way
to utilize my arts background
and bring it into the classroom.
The mom of three said she
aims to enliven the elementary
school curriculum by pepper-
ing it with dance and song. She
loves watching her students
become empowered when they
learn something. And she espe-
cially appreciates hearing a par-
ent say their child loves Mrs.

Digging in to summer fun
Painting and gardening were on the agenda June 19 at
the Abington Community Library. Children ages 3 to 10
attended a Dig Into Reading Make It, Take It Craft Time
as part of the librarys summer book club activities.
Participants painted rocks to take home and planted
owers behind the library. Adonation made by The Abington
Heights Civic League enabled the library to purchase owers
used for the event.

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.

Investments in quality early
childhood education needed now
Editor:
This nation faces a frightening
prospect. Our lack of investment
in early childhood education
adversely impacts this countrys
ability to create high-value jobs
and compete globally. When
we dont value investments in
children early on in life, it has
adverse implications.
High-quality early childhood
education prepares young chil-
dren for success in school. At a
time when their young brains
are growing and developing rap-
idly, it imparts instruction and
stimulation that build lifetime
capabilities for learning. When
they enter school ready to learn,
they are likelier to stay on pace
academically, graduate from
high school, pursue college or
career training, and enter our
communities as productive citi-
zens.
Without quality early learn-
ing, the opposite happens.
Disadvantaged children, espe-
cially, enter school behind their
peers developmentally and stay
behind, eventually dropping out
of school, going on welfare, and
getting tangled up with the law.
A lack of investment in early
education has such far-reaching
negative connotations that, to
me, its almost mind-boggling.
Its common sense to say that
you invest where you have to
make the least amount of invest-
ment for the greatest payoff.
Instead, were paying vastly
larger amounts in the back end.
U.S. businesses demand
employees who can tackle
increasingly complex tasks,
with 60 percent of new jobs
requiring skills in the STEM
areas of science, technology,
engineering, and mathemat-
ics. The health care insurance
industry is just one example of
an industry becoming more and
more analytic. We are moving to
pay-for-value for health care, as
opposed to pay-for- procedure.
Determining value - the progress
accruing from a course of treat-
ment - requires
high-level ana-
lytics, risk
a s s e s s me nt ,
stronger math
c apabi l i t i es ,
strong problem
solving, and
good communi-
cations.
And yet, the U.S. Commerce
Department says that were fac-
ing a shortage of people quali-
ed to ll jobs requiring STEM
skills - something that every
employer is acutely aware of.
Again, its frightening to con-
template, especially when our
competitor nations, such as
China and India, are investing in
early childhood and developing
their people to ll those jobs.
Its often said that we are a
nation looking for immediate
returns. When the repercussions
of a problem arent imminent,
everyone kicks that can down
the road. Its time we picked up
this particular can and dealt with
it. In fact, we are making some
progress. Pennsylvania has done
an outstanding job of bring-
ing this issue to the forefront. I
applaud and support gov. Tom
Corbetts proposed investment
in early childhood education.
Children at risk of failing in
school should have the opportu-
nity to be served through high-
quality early learning programs.
By investing now, and main-
taining our commitment for the
long term, we can assure health-
ier people, healthier businesses,
and healthier communities for
years to come.

Pastor, concert organizer: We are all Americans
Victoria L. Seamans
The Fourth annual Patriotic Concert, sponsored by
the Waverly Community Church, will salute Americas
nest, according to the band leader.
Instrumental selections will be performed by the
Lenoxville Community Band, which has participated
in the concert since its beginning. Roland Decker, 79,
of Lenoxville has led the band for the past 30 years.
We like to participate in the Patriotic Concert,
because we have several members who have been in
the service, and it is our way of saluting Americas n-
est, Decker said.
According to Decker, the Lenoxville Community
Band was formed in 1937 and is in its 76th year of oper-
ation. Currently the band has 35 members ranging in
age from 14 to 84. Local band members include Stewart
Atkinson, 84, of South Abington Twp., who plays the
saxophone and Mike Sankey, 27, of Factoryville who
plays the trombone.
The Patriotic Concert is a family event celebrating
our history, Pastor James Cohen said. When Cohen,
31, of Clarks Summit came to the Waverly Community
Church four years ago, he brought his love of history
with him.
We started the concert, because we wanted to cel-
ebrate our nations history and our Christian heritage,
Cohen said.
The concert will also feature singing and a non-
biased, unedited tribute to American history led by
Cohen. We focus on what our founders said, did and
believed, Cohen said. It is Cohens hope that those
who attend the concert will learn something about
American history while being entertained.
This years concert will be held at Lackawanna
State Park and is scheduled for 7 p.m., June 28.
Admission is free, however it is suggested that those
who attend bring their own lawn chair or blanket.

Two friends who are
partners in a new busi-
ness said their experience
as moms will help them
offer the ideal parties
from the perspective of
children and parents. The
rst community event
hosted by Giggle Wishes
aims to present a minia-
ture theme in a big way.
It will be an over-the-top
event, said Giggle Wishes
owners, Denise Bennett,
Newton Township and
Tara Sottile, Waverly, refer-
ring to An American Girl
Ice Cream Social they
have planned for June 30,
1 to 4 p.m.
The event is geared
toward children who
would enjoy an after-
noon of pampering that
includes ice cream cone
cupcakes, learning a
new dance to the Miley
Cyrus song, Ice Cream
Freeze (Lets Chill), a
Neapolitan Hair Wrap
and an ice cream mani-
cure at a Sundae Spa.
Children ages 6 and older
are encouraged to attend
and for $60, they can par-
ticipate in all afternoon
activities and take home a
customized gift bag.
We are having this
event to meet the kids in
the community and show
everybody what Giggle
Wishes style isWe dont
just throw a party, we do
a custom -themed event,
said Sottile, who has
teamed with Bennett.
We have both enter-
tained and have been told
we should do it (this busi-
ness) for a living. It has
inspired us to go for it
and make it happen.
The American Girl cel-
ebration is one they are par-
ticularly excited to organize.
Right now you have
to travel into New York
City to get anything like
that, so were trying to
bring a bit of that back
to this area. It wont be
just a party with some
American Girl decora-
tions; we will create an
entire party and shrink it
down to doll size.
A few of the parties
they have planned is a
Pink Princess Party in
Tunkhannock, an art
-themed party at Just
Paint It; they are work-
ing on a Mermaid Under
the Sea party and have
already booked commu-
nity events.
Bennett said, Anything
your children can dream
up, we can make happen
for them. We want to cre-
ate memorable events
that none of their friends
has had.
We know what the
kids want because we
have kids, added Sottile.
Bennett and Sottile will
travel to clients homes or
other locations to prepare
the space.
Prices vary depending
on services provided.
However much
they (our clients) need
us, were there, said
Bennett.
Bennett has two daugh-
ters, Faith and Grace and
Sottile, a daughter and
son, Hannah and Finn,
who the women say have
inspired their business
and ideas.
Bennett said, They
keep me in touch with my
inner childhood.
The women shouted
out thanks to their hus-
bands, Mark Bennett and
Kevin Sottile, respec-
tively and their families
who have helped the duo
maintain a balance in
their busy lives.
Its a balancing act,
said Bennett, a team
effort.
Part of the team also
includes some great
local vendors and assis-
tants to help at parties, as
needed.
The social June 30
will be held at 1577
Newton-Ransom Blvd.,
Newton Township, Clarks
Summit. Reservations are
required and can be made
by calling 570.586.1923.
Space is limited.

Olde Milwaukee Cafe fulflls daydream for area native
Joan Mead-Matsui
Abington Journal Correspondent
CLARKS SUMMIT
A drizzling rain with
sudden downpours and
gusty winds did not
dampen the spirits of
onlookers as Roy Ayers,
Milwaukee, cut the rib-
bon at a ceremony held
at the Olde Milwaukee
Caf & Bakery, 2613
Milwaukee Road, Clarks
Summit (downtown
Milwaukee) June 10.
Ayers is a lifelong
friend of Sue Richter, a
Milwaukee native and
co-owner of the caf and
bakery.
In honor of her father
Charles Richter, who
died 18 years ago, Sue
Richter said she asked
his lifelong friend Ayers
to cut the ribbon.
Roy Ayers and my
father grew up together.
We were best friends
with his family He tells
everyone hes the mayor
of Milwaukee, so thats
why we asked him.
As a child, Richter
bought penny candy in
the store that is now
home to the caf and
bakery she has day-
dreamed of for years.
Today she is a certified
working pastry chef with
the American Culinary
Federation.
My dream was to have
a small caf and bakery,
she said. And after my
kids were grown I went
back to school to become
a pastry chef.
When friends told
her the building located
2613 Milwaukee Road
was empty, she knew
she wanted to come back
home.
In the 1850s, the build-
ing was owned by the
Oddfellows Society,
according to Richter.
I knew I wanted to
stay in the early 1900s
(design)thats why we
went with the old buffet.
As soon as we saw it (the
buildings interior), we
knew what we wanted to
do.
Richter, Chef Carmen
Allegrucci, C.E.C, AAC
and Lisa Howey, front
end manager, previously
worked together at Our
Lady of Peace residence
in Clarks Green and
decided to join forces to
create a home for their
culinary venture.
Richter said
Allegrucci, a certified
executive chef with
the American Culinary
Federation, has more
than 30 years of experi-
ence. Two of his roles at
the cafe are to design the
menus and specials and
make sauces.
She noted, And
Carmen makes the best
homemade soups you
will ever eat.
Richters specialties
are eclairs and crme
puffs, but she also said,
The homemade cheese-
cake here is awesome.
She uses many of her
grandmothers recipes
for the bakery items.
Together, Richter,
Allegrucci and Howey
offer their customers
breakfast served all
day; lunch and dinner,
including daily specials.
Takeouts are available.
Specialty sandwich-
es, burgers, grilled and
club sandwiches, salads,
soup, pizza, stromboli
and calzones can be
found on the menu, along
with footlong hot dogs,
which Richter said are
not something you can
find everywhere.
Sweet treats such as
cannoli, Danish, muffins,
cookies and cake are
plentiful in the glass buf-
fet case. Custom orders
are accepted.
Hours are 8 a.m.
to 9 p.m., Monday to
Saturday and 8 a.m. to 3
p.m. Sunday Catering is
available for parties and
other events.

call 570.586.9855.

SOUTH ABINGTON
TWP. Bursts of avor
can be found at Yocup
Yogurt Factory Inc.,
according to owners Lisa
Cai, 38, of Dickson City
and Karen Lin, 27, of
Scranton.
The self-serve frozen
yogurt shop, where cus-
tomers can help them-
selves to their choice
of frozen yogurt and
toppings opened June
10 at 860B Northern
Blvd., South Abington
Township. When an indi-
vidual frozen yogurt treat
is complete, it is placed
on a scale and weighed to
determine the price.
Cai and Lin offer frozen
yogurt, but also present a
selection of teas, both hot
and cold, which they pre-
pare for customers.
Milk tea is very popu-
lar with young people,
Lin said. A feature of the
new shop is bubble tea, a
specialty that originated
in Taiwan and got its name
from the pearl-like bobas
at the bottom of the cup,
according to Cai and Lin.
Their shop offers two
types of bobas in their
tea. The original bubble
tea bobas are dark tapioca
pearls with a consistency
similar to soft gummy
candy. The other type
popping bobas, or what
Cai and Lin call coating
juice, are smaller juice-
lled pearls that offer
a burst of liquid avor
when they pop open in
the mouth.
The business partners
met through previous
employment. When Cai
had the idea to open a
frozen yogurt shop, she
shared her idea with Lin.
We work well togeth-
er and we communicate
well, Cai said. They
chose the location for their
new shop, because there
was nothing like it in this
area, Cai said. The name
was Karens idea.
Yocup is not a seasonal
shop. Instead Cai and Lin
will add hot beverages to
their menu in the colder
months. Besides tea we
will offer coffee and hot
cocoa too, Cai said.
Yocup Yogurt Factory
Inc. is open Sunday
through Thursday from
11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and
Friday and Saturday from
11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Hillside Park site of Lakeside
summer concert series
Mary Chuf
Abington Journal Correspondent
SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. -
Hillside Park on Winola Road has
long held a place in the hearts of
members of the Abington area com-
munity. But now, the Abington Area
Joint Recreation Board is hoping the
park will become even more impor-
tant to residents.
Lakeside Wednesday Concerts at
Hillside Park is the newest project
of the recreation board. The free
concerts will take place from every
Wednesday, beginning today, June
26 and continuing until Aug. 28.
Each event of the inaugural con-
cert series will start at 6 p.m. until
dusk at the pavilion adjacent to Lake
Eston Wilson.
Americas Heritage and Culture
will be showcased by local profes-
sional bands staged in a waterfront
setting at the 100 -acre Hillside
Park, formerly named Abington
Area Community Park.
The concert series is designed
to draw in every member of the
family, Lori Harris, the recreation
boards corresponding secretary,
said. Besides music from a variety
of bands, other local artists will have
the chance to display their work,
Harris said.
A changing photography exhibit,
Images of NEPA, coordinated by
Sharon Burke, will highlight local
nature and heritage.
The recreation board is not the
only organization working to make
the summer concert series a suc-
cess. Various civic groups, like the
Rotary Club of the Abingtons, the
Lions and the Masons, are involved
by providing everything from food
to sponsorship.
The Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority is the sponsor of the rst
week of the series. As a main spon-
sor of the event, the authority pro-
vided grants to the board for the
concerts. Their support will pay for
the band and the coordination of the
event itself, as well as staffers for the
day of the concert.
Were always delighted to pro-
mote cultural events, Natalie Gelb,
executive director of the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley Authority said. She
added that the concert was a good
connection between promoting the
natural resources of the park and
bringing the community together.
The Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority mission statement is
to facilitate community action
in the preservation, development
and promotion of the regions his-
tory, cultural heritage and natural
resources, Gelb, a South Abington
resident, wrote in an email.
The connection between the park
and the community is strong and
one of the most important parts of
the concert series.
Harris, who will handle public
relations for the concerts has been
involved with the park for some
time. She helped with reservations
at the parks pavilion for the last
three years.
Harris said Diane Vietz, Abington
Area Joint Recreation Board vice
chair and architect of the summer
concert series approached her and
asked Harris to become the logistics
and public relations coordinator.
She is excited to be working on an
event that is great for the commu-
nity.
I think its going to be a great
event, Harris said.
Lori Harris, Abington Area Joint Recreation
Board Corresponding Secretary and Laurie
McCoy, an Abington Area Joint Recreation
Board volunteer prepare for the Lakeside
Summer Concert Series.
Dalton resident reports falling trees
Ben Freda
Abington Journal Correspondent
DALTON Mill Street
resident Bill Gerrity
informed Dalton Borough
Council members, at their
June 13 meeting, that a
row of trees are falling
into the creek behind his
property, causing prob-
lems near his backyard.
He said the trees are 80
to 90 feet tall and falling
one by one because their
bark is being eroded.
(On) three of the
trees, actually, all the bark
fell off and they died, he
said.
Gerrity mentioned that
the rst tree fell into the
creek, causing the water
to rise 15 feet above the
creeks bank.
About four months
ago the next two trees
fell across the creek. And
if you walk alongside the
karate center (United
Tang Soo Do Alliance),
you can see them , he
said.
Gerrity said two two
trees remain near Main
Street and he fears the
outcome.
These trees are going
to come down shortly, he
said. I dont know whos
responsible for trees on
the creek bank.
Gerrity said board
members have an obliga-
tion to review the situ-
ation before remaining
trees fall and cause dam-
age or hurt someone. He
said children sh in the
creek all the time and
animals such as turtles
and rabbits live near the
creek.
Board member Bill
Montgomery said he
would contact the
Department of Public
Works. We cant go in
the creek.
The board thanked
Gerrity for his concern.
In other news, Cub
Scout Ryan Dill, of Pack
175 in Factoryville, asked
the boards permission
to stain picnic tables at
Dalton Streamside Park
pavilion for his Eagle
Scout project.
Montgomery asked Dill
the length of the project.
Dill said with help from
other scouts it could be
completed in two week-
ends.
Montgomery said, As
a matter of fact, we have
enough stain right now to
do the job. We just need
to get a hold of a few
brushes.
Montgomery suggested
Dill formalize with a let-
ter.
In other business, sec-
retary Jo Ann Davies
read a letter of correspon-
dence, which was signed
by Gail Rees, president of
the Dalton Business and
Professional Association.
Im trying to organize
and look in to provid-
ing several forms for our
community to share ideas
and promote common
goals, Davies read aloud
from Rees letter. The
format might provide an
opportunity for the rep-
resentatives to educate
the public as to specic
duties and encourage par-
ticipation in the munici-
pal activities to support
your efforts. We would
welcome the opportunity
to work with you on the
specics, the publicity,
time, and so on.
Montgomery said that
the board will take it
under advisement.
In other business, in
his report, Mayor Aaron
Holzman announced
that his drawings of
the baseball eld for
Dalton Streamside Park
have been approved
by Department of
Conservation and Natural
Resources.
Im waiting on John
Stevens to complete a
certificate of design,
which then allows us to
put it up to bid, he said.
As soon as we get that,
were good to go.

Epic heroes are often
aided by supernatural help-
ers or guides, but Cheryls
help comes
in human
form. Along
the way, she
meets other
hikers, most
of whom
offer her
various gifts
in the form
of encour-
agement
and crash
courses in
how to use an ice ax and
how to lighten the load of
her pack. Perhaps the most
important gift comes in
the form of insight from a
woman named Pat, who
tells her that not having a
good father as a child has
wounded her and offers
some profound advice:
The fathers job is to
teach his children how to
be warriors, to give them
condence.If you dont
get that from your father,
you have to teach your-
self.
Campbell writes that
heroes must, literally or
guratively, descend into
the belly of the whale, a
sort of netherworld where
they will learn about
themselves. For Cheryl,
this place is the Pacic
Coast Trail itself, and of
course, the interior hell
she carries inside.
Wild is a beautifully
written, though sometimes
uncomfortably raw, book.
Its author has a wonderful
sense of character and
place and shes unsparingly
honest. There is no
cloyingly sweet moral the
reader is forced to choke
down, as is the case of
other similar memoirs.
Perhaps because she
waited 16 years to write
it, Cheryl gives us a sense
of the perspective shes
gained.
In myths, heroes
nd and bring back
boons to the world: re;
redemption; salvation.
Cheryl Strayed brings
back from her journey
gifts of insight for herself
and quite possibly for the
reader. During her three
months on the trail, she
also has shed her sense of
being cheated by the world
and has come to realize
that it always gives her
what she needs to survive.
These are lessons wed all
do well to learn. Christine Faye (Staff)
Schneible, 63, Clarks
Summit, died Thursday,
June 20, in VNA Hospice
Unit at Geisinger

Take a walk on the wild side
In his book, The Hero
with a Thousand Faces,
the late, great Joseph
Campbell explains that,
in almost every myth, the
heros journey has several
stages, including the call
to adventure, trials, a
descent into the belly of
the whale and eventual
emergence with some sort
of boon for humankind.
In many ways, Cheryl
Strayeds 2012 memoir,
Wild: Lost and Found on
the Pacic Coast Trail,
is a great example of this
journey, not to mention a
captivating read. However,
despite the fact that she
makes a three-month-
long, 1,100 mile trek on
her own, Cheryl does
not see herself as a hero,
but as someone who has
lost herself and must do
whatever it takes to nd a
way to heal.
Her call to adventure
begins with a series of
devastating events. Her
mother dies of cancer
at age 45; her family
disintegrates; she spends
four years indulging in
casual affairs that destroy
her marriage; is well on
her way to developing a
heroin addiction. Of all
this misery, the worst is
the loss of her mother, the
woman whose love was
innite, who anchored
her daughters world. The
author is only 22 when
her mother dies and is left
with the sense that the
world has cheated her.
Cheryl is an impulsive
young woman and almost
totally unprepared for
the journey she is about
to take. Shes never
back-packed, and in a
hilarious chapter titled
Hunching in a Remotely
Upright Position, she
regales us with the story
of her pack, which she
quickly names Monster.
Loaded with so many
unnecessary items that she
can barely lift it, Monster
seems to symbolize the
overwhelming weight
of Cheryls emotional
burdens. Along the trail,
she will learn to lighten
both Monster and her
psychological baggage.
Why didnt she dump a
lot of stuff before she even
started? Her answer sets
the tone of honest self-
appraisal that characterizes
the book: Because I was
a big fat idiot and I didnt
know what the hell I was
doing, thats why.
Although she makes a
lot of mistakes, Cheryl
discovers that her
childhood did, in some
ways, prepare her for
her adventure. After her
mother leaves Cheryls
horribly abusive father
and nally meets the man
who will become Cheryls
very nice stepfather, the
family lives a neo-hippie
life in a house they build
themselves . Cheryl and
her two siblings learn to
fend for themselves and
these lessons will sustain
her during her travels.
The archetypal hero,
according to Campbell,
must endure a series of
trials to prove heroic
worthiness and Cheryl
faces and conquers both
danger and physical pain.
She encounters a wild
longhorn bull, rattlesnakes,
bears, ants and a scary
hiker who clearly means
her harm. Close to the end
of her trek, she is reduced
to wearing booties made
from duct tape.

I want my kids to nd
their specic talents and
work on the things they
need to work on. I also
want to help them nd out
who they are and to not
be afraid to take risks,
Kameroski said.
One advantage of teach-
ing in the Abington Heights
School District, she said, is
that teachers support the
arts. Parents are incredible
advocates as well, she said.
To Kameroski, the arts
go hand-in-hand with math,
science and social studies.
If we didnt have the arts,
wouldnt we be sad? she
said.
It seems Kameroski suc-
ceeded at her goal of intro-
ducing the arts to her stu-
dents because several have
returned to tell her
she has made a difference.
I have a lot of moments
like that, and I feel lucky
Im a teacher.
Her husband Peter
Kameroski is also musi-
cally inclined. He owned
the Electric Mind Shaft
in Scranton since the
early 1980s. The record
store offered a collection
of 200,000 albums. The
couple met at Ohio State
University and started a
family that includes chil-
dren: Kati, 34; Alex, 31 and
Luke, 22 and two grandchil-
dren: Evelyn and Becca.

It was a very unfortu-
nate accident, Gerrity
said.
Sue Youtz, Hospitality/
Outreach Team Chair at
Countryside Community
United Methodist Church,
believes Susan Duncan
impacted everyone in the
congregation in some way.
I absolutely adored her,
Youtz said. She touched
so many lives in the church
and had such a strong faith.
Its really a hard loss for the
whole church family. I think
everyone is still trying to
process it, even days later,
because of the circumstanc-
es.
Parishioner Anne Mecca,
who shared a love of read-
ing with Susan Duncan,
started a book club with her
last September. She is also
a member of PrayerWorks.
We started exchanging
books and while talking
learned that we liked a lot
of the same ones, Mecca
said. Her husband, Pastor
J.P., said Why dont you
start a book club? so we
did.
The group has increased
in size during the past year,
a testament to its organiz-
ers likeability.
We started with three
members and are now up
to nine, Mecca said. She
was especially ecstatic
about the club and were
hoping to grow it in her
memory.
Mecca will miss Duncans
warm personality and
soothing inuence that she
exuded.
She was a loving, care-
ful person and was always
so peaceful, Mecca said.
She would always calm me
down. She really was just
a joy to be around. If ever
there was a perfect pastors
wife, she was it. She was
such an angel.
According to Mecca,
Susan Duncan had a special
connection with each per-
son she met.
I think everyone who
knew her felt as if they lost
their best friend, because
she made you feel that
way, she said. She made
everyone feel so special.
Mecca reected on a
moving performance by her
friend during the June 16
Sunday worship.
She sang and played
piano in the choir, and
never sounded better,
Mecca said. I told her she
sounded like Carole King.
While it is difcult to lose
anyone, Mecca believes
Susan Duncans death is
especially hard due to the
way she conducted herself.
She treated everyone
like family, she said. Its
more of a loss for everyone
because she was so sweet
and caring. Were all pretty
devastated.
Helen Herne added
that Susan Duncans vocal
talents were memorable.
According to Herne,
Duncan had left the choir
to be part of the prayer
group, but she returned to
sing last week.
It was amazing and so
powerful, she said. It was
almost like God was giving
us the opportunity to share
a grand ending with her.
Herne said she will cher-
ish the time spent in prayer
with Duncan on Monday
prior to her crash.
Every Monday, we have
a small prayer group that
meets at the church, she
said. I got to hold hands
with her in prayer two
hours before her accident.
It was such an honor to be
with her doing Gods work
and such a gift to have been
angel

In addition to the battle
reenactments, he said the
group members perform
marching and shooting
demonstrations and offer
living histories, in which
they set up encampments
people can visit to learn
about the uniforms, life-
styles and weapons of the
soldiers.
When asked what he
enjoys most about reenact-
ing, Pierce replied, I think
shooting at rebels. And
mostly the education
teaching people about the
war and the life of the every
day average soldier.

GLENBURN TWP. - Township
supervisors met June 17 to discuss
a grant application proposed by the
Abington Area Joint Recreation
Board. The grant money sought
would provide the necessary funding
to complete the walking trail at
Hillside Park, including a boardwalk,
according to members of the
recreation board.
The board last submitted a grant
through Clarks Green.
The Abington Area Joint
Recreation Board is a non-prot,
intergovernmental agency, comprised
of representatives from ve
municipalities - Clarks Green, Clarks
Summit, Glenburn, South Abington
and Waverly - that manages a 100-acre
park known as the Abington Area
Community Park at 1188 Winola Rd.
in South Abington Township.
Forty years ago, land was set aside
by members of the community with a
goal of becoming a regional park and
a regional asset to the community.
Over the years, additions to the park
have included a dog park, community
garden, boundless playground and
new lighting on the soccer eld.
According to Bill Risse, Abington
Area Joint RecreationBoardchairman,
in February, funding from each of the
ve member municipalities (currently
approximately $3 per person annually
based on latest census count) goes
to fund park operations, utilities,
insurance and maintenance costs.
All of the other developments and
improvements have been funded from
private donations and grants.
We need more information before
we can support something like
this. Issues such as bookkeeping,
legal review of documents and
the administration of the grant
document all must be considered,
said Glenburn Township solicitor
Malcolm McGregor.
The board will look into the matter
further and discuss their ndings at
the next township meeting July 17.

Individualized therapy goal of Impact Physio owners
CLARKS SUMMIT One-on-
one therapy for every patient is cru-
cial to womens health, said Michelle
Dickson, of Clarks Summit. She
and Impact Physio co-owner John
Salva, also of Clarks Summit, said
their quest to provide individualized
therapy to all their patients is what
brought to life their new business.
Impact Physio, located at 715 N.
State Street, is a private outpatient
clinic that provides physical therapy
in the areas of orthopedics, sports
performance and womens health.
Owners Dickson, 44, and Salva, 37,
said at their ribbon cutting June 20
that they are devoted to providing
quality care for all of their patients.
Both Dickson and Salva believe
this type of hands-on therapy pro-
vides the best results for the patient.
Dickson, a Doctor of Physical
Therapy, specializes in orthopedic
therapy and womens health. I want-
ed the opportunity to treat people one-
on-one, Dickson said. She explained
that in womens health it is essential
that each patient receive one-on-one
therapy in a private setting.
Salva, who holds a Masters degree
in physical therapy said that he also
likes working one-on-one in the pri-
vate outpatient setting.
The co-owners chose the location
for their clinic, because it is close to
home, said Dickson.

ness and caring personality
when discussing a trip she
took with Susan and J.P. to
Nashville, Tenn. in 2010 for
the School of Congressional
Development event.
I had never own before
and at the time I had really
bad arthritis in my knees,
she said. Susan kept look-
ing back and watching over
me to make sure I was
doing alright.
According to Herne,
Duncan cherished time
spent with her loved ones.
She was a caring, won-
derful person and her fam-
ily was everything to her,
she said.
She was always very
proud of her family, and
made us feel like she was
proud of us, Mecca added.
A longtime editor and
journalist until becom-
ing disabled by illness in
1995, Susan Duncan had
previously served locally
as a proofreader/editor at
the former International
Correspondence Schools,
Scranton; managing editor
of the Carbondale News
and managing editor of the
Mountaintop Eagle and
Western Poconos Press
Tribune.
She was a graduate of
Midview High School,
Grafton, Ohio and a cum
laude graduate of Kent
State University, where she
was named the rst female
sports editor of The Daily
Kent Stater.
An avid enthusiast and
participant in sports, she
served for 11 years as the
head junior high eld hock-
ey coach in the Crestwood
School District, Mountain
Top and coached in softball
and eld hockey programs
at the Sherwood Youth
Association in Dunmore.
In addition to her hus-
band and parents, she
is survived by a brother,
Steven Burkey; daughters
Katie Sinclair and husband
Tim, Aimee Gernatt and
husband Chad, and Sarah
Duncan and her compan-
ion Tameka Thompson and
one granddaughter Eleanor
Jane Sinclair.
If you think you know
the Bard, think again.
This aint your
grandmas Shakespeare,
said Rudy Caporaso, one
of the three co-founders
of the Scranton
Shakespeare Festival.
Founded last year
with a production of
A Midsummer Nights
Dream, the festival
returns to Scrantons
Nay Aug Park from June
27-30 to present The
Comedy of Errors.
That piece is terribly
kid-centric and family-
friendly. It had a lot of
color, a lot of physicality,
vibrant energy and
music, Caporaso said
of Midsummer. That
energy will be translated
a bit differently in
Errors, which is, at its
core, the story of two
sets of long lost identical
twins who discover the
others existence.
Cases of mistaken
identity create a large
portion of the zany,
madcap romp that
Caporaso and fellow
founders Michael
Bradshaw Flynn, 25, of
Scranton, and London
native and New York City
resident Rosey Hay hope
to offer to audiences.
Much of the action will
focus on how Bradshaw
Flynn and Caporaso, a
New York City resident
with roots in Throop and
Olyphant, portray twins
Antipholus and Dromio,
respectively.
Offstage sequences
between character
appearances last as little
as eight seconds, so the
actors must use all of
their tools to make the
change from one twin to
the other believable.
The challenge for us is
to make those differences
deliberate and distinct,
Caporaso said.
Aside from Bradshaw
Flynn and Caporaso, the
production also includes
local talents Conor
McGuigan and Marie
Philbin, both of Scranton,
and Dunmore residents
Joe McGurl and Camille
Reinecke.
While physical humor
is a big part of the draw
for many audience
members, Hay, who has
been an assistant director
at the Royal Shakespeare
Company, said there are
many deep themes in
Errors that Shakespeare
often returned to in his
later works.
There are parts
of it when youre
searching for a lost
twin or an identity that
will make you whole,
Hay said. Theres an
extraordinarily powerful,
emotional punch to
the end of the play
that I think is really
important There is a
true coming together of
many different couples.
There are four pairs of
people who are either
reunited or who become
a couple for the first
time.
Performing outdoors
at Nay Aug Park does
present some unique
challenges.
I love outdoor theater,
but Mother Nature can be
a beast, Caporaso said
with a coy smile.
This year, performers
will wear microphones,
eliminating at least
one barrier that some
audience members may
have had to overcome
during Midsummer last
year. It will also allow the
actors to explore other
nuances of their own
delivery.
In addition to
performances, the
festival conducts
outreach through pilot
programs with United
Neighborhood Centers.
About five teens affiliated
with UNC are interning
with this summers
production.
This is about bringing
theater to people who,
for whatever socio-
economic reason,
might not experience
Shakespeare specifically
in this way, Caporaso
noted.
The production
is supported by the
Lackawanna County Arts
Council, the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley
Authority, the Scranton
Area Foundation, the
University of Scranton,
Martz Trailways and
WNEP.
Audiences are invited
to pull up a chair (or
blanket) and enjoy one of
the greatest playwrights
in the English language.
Its timeless; its
beautiful, said Philbin,
21. Everyone can relate
to Shakespeare in some
way, and theres so many
things you can do with
it to make it fresh and
interesting.

The photographs included in Serenity in
Print capture a wide angle perspective and
depth of landscapes. The images draw you in
to experience all the elements; your eye follows
the crisp lines to the heart of each scene,said
Michael Pyle in his artist statement.
The attention given to light, reection and
details in the shadows, he continued, are
rened and give a sense of tranquility to the
viewer.
Serenity in Print, photographs by Pyle, will
be featured at the Camera Work Gallery, located
downstairs in the Marquis Gallery, 515 Center
St., Scranton, July 5 through 30. The gallery is
open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. An opening reception will be held July 5
from 6 to 8:20 p.m.
Pyle is a nature and wildlife photographer
from Coopersburg. He is a juried member with
the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. His work
has received many awards and recognitions.
Most recently, his work was exhibited at the
Olympus Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan and at
the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del. His work
was also printed by the Pennsylvania Magazine,
Appalachian Trail Journeys Magazine, the PA
Society of Goldsmiths and the PA Guild of
Craftsmen.
An avid hiker, Pyle enjoys the soothing effect
of the outdoors and thrives on the challenge
of capturing this feeling of serenity in his pho-
tography. He considers every excursion to the
mountains, national parks and wildlife pre-
serves as an opportunity to rene his ability as
a visual artist.

More than the movies
Last Wednesday night
we were delighted to
host historian, actor and
friend of the Dietrich, Ed
Mc Mu l l e n
for his
p r e s e n t a -
tion An
Overview of
the Civil War
150 Year
Later. An
audience of
140 students
and adults
listened to
his sobering
talk about the tremendous
loss our country suffered
during the war. When he
spoke about the amount of
muskets that were gathered
from battleelds of soldiers
who were killed or injured
during battle, it gave me
chills. Ed also brought eight
special guests with him
from the Confederation of
Union Generals. Dressed
in authentic Civil War era
clothing, members of this
group portrayed historical
gures from the American
Civil War era using rst
person narratives in order
to educate us about the
persons depicted. John
Hart portrayed General
Wineld Scott and Ray
Sulger took on the role of
General John A. Logan,
who is responsible for our
celebration of Memorial
Day today. We would like
to thank Ed McMullen and
the Confederation of Union
Generals for the wonderful
evening.
We will be presenting
another Civil War ses-
quicentennial event this
Sunday, June 30 at 3 p.m.
at the Dietrich Theater
with Thomas Jolin called
Civil War Era Music.
The trauma of the Civil
War produced a tremen-
dous amount of music as
the nation mourned and
sought relief from the
death of over 600,000
Americans. Songs about
soldiers lives, domestic
scenes, minstrel traditions
and the ght to end slavery
give us insight into what
life was really like during
that time. Admission is
free. This event is spon-
sored by the Pennsylvania
Humanities Council.
Tickets are available by
calling 570.996.1500 or
visiting the Dietrichs tick-
et booth. You dont want to
miss it.

School: Theatre and Visual
Arts Camp with instruc-
tors Amy Colley and

Author aims to makehuman connections
Joan Mead-Matsui
AbingtonJournal Correspondent
Sally Wiener Grotta is a
storyteller.
She is also an author,
photographer, digital artist,
speaker and journalist.
Storytelling is my life. I
use stories to explore what
I ache to understand and to
make human connections
(both with my characters
and my readers), said
Grotta, author of Jo Joe:
a Black Bear, Pennsylvania
story, a mystery of the
heart about Judith Ormond,
a young mixed- race Jewish
woman.
Jo Joe is set in the c-
tional Pocono Mountains
village of Black Bear, Pa.,
and consists of eight chap-
ters, one for each day from
Monday to the following
Monday.
Black Bear takes the
reader through a journey
of twisted memories, dis-
torted love and hate that
threatens violence.
What came alive for
Grotta as a driving force
that compelled her to write
this novel were several
unanswerable questions
(threads) that constantly
haunt me: Why do we hate?
What are the roots of preju-
dice, of bigotry and cru-
elty?
Her aim is twofold: To
give readers a story they
will enjoy losing themselves
in, characters they will care
about deeply and an unfold-
ing that will keep them
turning the pages. To get
readers thinking and talk-
ing about prejudice, cruelty,
memory, family misunder-
standings and such.
Grotta said that while
none of the characters are
me or my loved ones, they
are all me, all aspects and
products of who I am, my
concerns, experience and
empathy.
I am not a mixed-race
Jewish woman who was
raised by her Christian
white grandparents. But I
know what it is like to feel
like an outsider. More than
that, as her mother -for
what else is an author?- I
feel Judiths pain and con-
fusion very deeply. I under-
stand her anger, even when
I feel it would be better for
her to let go of it and not let
it consume her, she said.
The stories main charac-
ter, Judith has been shaped
by her childhood memories
of betrayal and prejudice.
Joe is the bumbling, big
guy whom everyone likes,
except Judith, which is part
of the mystery for the read-
er. Gramma is a feisty, car-
ing, manipulative woman,
who readers will love, then
hate, then love/hate.
My characters live in
me and through me, said
Grotta.
On her favorite part,
chapter, excerpt in this
work:
She said, I have no
favorite part. Its like asking
a mother if she prefers her
childs laugh or her smile.
Pulling back, Im pleased
with the structure of Jo
Joe. It has a classic unity
of time and place, with
everything concentrated in
one week, and each day a
separate chapter. Im also
very satised with the tone,
its highly -visual impact and
the language. I chose to
write it in the rst person
present, so it sounds and
feels more immediate.
Jo Joe was published
only a few weeks ago by
Pixel Hall Press and the
book tours are beginning
for Grotta, who said she is
honored the Jewish Book
Council has designated her
JBC Network Author.
That means that they
will be sponsoring my visits
to JBC-afliated book festi-
vals and other book events
around the country over the
next year.
Grotta is available to
talk with book discussion
groups and at other events.

Family Tennis Nights
in Waverly aim to
connect generations
Corey Kelly
Abington Journal Correspondent
WAVERLY Special equipment
and evening time slots aim to entice
families to spend two Friday evenings
in Waverly bonding over the ins and
outs of tennis.
The Waverly Community House
located at 1115 N. Abington Road,
Waverly, also known as The Comm,
will host two nights of tennis clinics
led by couple Kelly and Josh Arp and
refereed by Renee Lentz. Both Family
Tennis Nights, June 28 and July 12,
will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. There is
a fee of $25 per family for the event
in which equipment will be provided,
however all attendees must come
wearing appropriate clothing and
footwear. The program is designed
for children aged ve to 12 and no
tennis experience is necessary to
participate. All family members are
encouraged and welcome to attend,
including siblings and grandparents.
Our philosophy behind the event
is to give parents a chance to play
with their kids, Kelly Arp, a mother
of four, said about the experience.
Children will also learn how to rally,
bounce and identify the different
sizes of rackets with an end goal of
playing a doubles match between par-
ents and children.
Also associated with the event is
the United States Tennis Association
(USTA) Ten and Under Tennis, a pro-
gram that utilizes specialized equip-
ment for the purpose of introducing
the sport to the younger audience.
Children of all ages are still more
than welcome to attend both clinics,
but should be aware that foam balls
will be used due to their lower bounc-
ing and slower air traveling which
making it easier for the children to
hit. Racquets sized for smaller hands
will also be provided for the children
for easier swinging and gripping.
Arp, a tennis enthusiast and coach
at Baptist Bible College, said she is
excited at the opportunity for the
children in the area to become famil-
iarized with the sport. When ques-
tioned if any other events will follow
beyond these two nights she stated
its still up in the air. Although she
said there are certainly high hopes
and expectations.
Both Family Tennis Nights are rain
or shine clinics, played outside on
The Comms courts or inside the gym
in the event of inclement weather.

Lackawanna Trail
High School head
boys basketball
coach Andrew
Kettel has been
named as the
new head basketball coach at Scranton
Preparatory School.
Personally, I wanted to challenge
myself as a coach by moving to a bigger
programand bigger school, Kettel said.
I was an assistant coach there for six
years. When the position opened, I was
excited to apply and Im thrilled they
chose me to be the coach.
Kettel, who was the boys basketball
head coach at Lackawanna Trail for six
years, announced his decision at the
school June 24.
The hardest part was telling the
students and players that I was going
to be leaving, he said. I think they
understand that Imjust trying to better
myself. I wish themnothing but the best
and asked themto challenge themselves
to continue to get better.
Kettel has highhopes for the Scranton
Prep basketball program in the coming
years.
I want us to play in the state tourna-
ment every year and hopefully have the
opportunity to play for a state champi-
onship at some point, he said.

Presidents Golf
Classic adds to
student scholarships
The tradition of raising funds for
Baptist Bible College scholarships
through play at a championship-caliber
golf course continued in May, with more
than $60,000 raised for students.
The Presidents Golf Classic has been
held annually in Northeastern Pa. since
2005. Nearly 90 golfers and 27 sponsors
participated in the May 20 event.
We greatly appreciate the generos-
ity of these sponsors and golfers, said
Baptist Bible College and Seminary
President Jim Jeffery. They are
enabling us to provide greater scholar-
ships for students and making a tremen-
dous investment in the future.
The 2014 Presidents Golf Classic will
be May 19, 2014. It will again be at Glen
Oak Country Club in Waverly, minutes
from the college campus. Opened in
1953, the course was designed by James
Harrison under the training of Donald
Ross, a highly regarded golf course archi-
tect. It features ve tees at each hole.
Golf Classic prize winners included:

Johnson College
teams join NJCAA
After a year of independence, the
Johnson College Jaguars will add
conference games to their sched-
ules again. The Jaguars have joined
the National Junior College Athletic
Association or NCJAA, which is
comprised of two-year colleges and
institutions in 24 regions nationwide.
Mens Basketball and Mens/Womens
Cross Country teams will compete
in the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic
Conference (EPAC) of Region 19.
Region 19 consists of two conferenc-
es, the EPAC and the Garden State
Athletic Conference (GSAC).
Now the student-athletes have
more to play for, says Johnson
College Athletic/Activity Coordinator
Doc Stacknick Jr. They can now
compete for a regional champion-
ship which, if they win, could lead
to a national championship birth.
Doc added, They can also now com-
pete for other sportsmanship awards
when they lead the league in stats on
the court or the course and even in
service to their local community.
Johnson Colleges new mens bas-
ketball coach, Jonathan Kulas is excit-
ed to get started leading the team. He
shared, It not only gives the players
more drive to win, but it gives our
players exposure to help them get
noticed by four-year schools. Kulas
was the mens basketball assistant
coach last season until he was named
the teams head coach back in May.
The mens basketball team will
now add 16 conference games to its
schedule, but that is expected to grow
to 18 with even more schools joining
the league. There are 14 other non-
conference games with one being a
cross over against a GSAC team. The
rst home game of the season for the
Johnson College Mens Basketball
Team is Nov. 2, at 1 p.m. in Moffat
Gymnasium. Johnson College will
also host their rst ever Johnson
CollegeInvitational for Cross Country
on their campus, Sept. 14 at noon.

among 670 student-ath-
letes honored for excel-
lence in the classroom by

The Waverly United
Methodist Church,
105 Church Street
on the square in
Waverly, announces
it has received a
$1,500 grant from the
Walmart Foundation.
The church has a
primary focus of pro-
viding community ser-
vice through mission,
outreach and nurture,
which it furthers by
utilizing partnership
agreements with other
like-minded organiza-
tions.
It currently has a
working agreement
with the Abington
Ecumenical Food
Pantry, which is
housed at the Dalton
United Methodist
Church, to provide hot
meals to their patrons
in their Feed a
Thousand campaign.
Funds from the grant
will enable the church
to expand its outreach,
and it will continue
to purchase food from
local suppliers.
Meals will then be
prepared and packaged
at the Waverly UMC by
volunteers and deliv-
ered to the food pantry
for distribution.
Additional orga-
nizations that have
contributed to this
effort are Wegmans
and Weis Markets.
Any individuals or
organizations inter-
ested in participating
in this vital com-
munity service are
urged to contact
Pastor Barbara Snyder
at 570.586.8166 or
Kathy Craven at
570.586.9167.
