inates five full- time custo-
dians, four full -time secretar-
ies and three aides. Also, the
district will look internally for
a candidate for Project Lead
the Way and there are no provi-
sions for retroactive settle-
ments. The board discussed the
possibility of cutting junior
high sports out of the athletic
budget at an estimated savings
of $50,000. They also dis-
cussed cutting other extracur-
ricular activities.
Board member Jeanne Cad-
man announced she has no
plans to agree to raise taxes.
We need to work hard to
get concessions during negotia-
tions, Cadman said.
Board members Louise
Brzuchalski, Michael Fleming,
Gregory Madensky, and Mi-
chele Tierney are also against
raising taxes at this time.
Vice President William Ack-
er thinks a tax increase is nec-
essary to avoid bigger prob-
lems down the road.
We have to be proactive,
he said. If we dont act now,
we will be in a situation where
we need to raise taxes far more
than we will be able to.
Board member Michele
Pusateri and Board President
Cathy Hardaway also think an
increase is needed.
Under Act 1 provisions, we
can only raise taxes so much
each year, she said. Im con-
cerned that three years from
CLARKS SUMMIT- Abing-
ton Heights Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Michael Mahon
announced that the school
board must approve a prelimi-
nary budget in some form by
its May 16 meeting to present
to the public for review. Mahon
said he would also like to pass
the final 2012-13 budget at the
June 27 meeting, ahead of the
June 30 deadline.
The preliminary budget has
a structural deficit of just un-
der $ 2 million, down to $1.95
million when we met last
month, Mahon said.
According to Mahon, the
proposed budget will eliminate
five teaching positions, after 11
positions were eliminated last
year. Two of the five are high
school English teachers, which
Mahon believes will result in
increased class size at the High
School, the elimination of
co-teaching opportunities,
which Mahon said has been
very effective , class advisors,
and the potential elimination of
some electives. The Writers
Center is also expected to be
closed. Mahon added, the loss
of the elementary school teach-
er will definitely result in in-
creased class size at the ele-
mentary level. Mahon expects
to see class sizes in the high

Peggie, as she was

wo-year-old Marie Granets eyes
barely left her mothers face as she
clung tightly to her shirt and
glanced over at the portrait displayed
beside them. The painting captured the
image of Posie and Marie Granet in al-
most the exact pose they stood in as the
mother spoke about the artwork.
The painting, by Kathleen Barrett, of
Waverly, not only succeeded in capturing
the expressions and emotions of the
mother and daughter subjects, but the
love between themas well.
Barrett said the piece inspired her to
start a newseries of paintings of mothers
with their children. She said the lack of
expression of maternal love in contempo-
rary art has impressed her, and when she
sawGranets interactions with her chil-
dren, she knewshe wanted to illustrate
that.
She is such a wonderful and kind
mother, she said.
Barrett is seeking more mothers to
model for portraits along with their chil-
dren of all ages, and suggested it could be
a mothers day surprise for a daughter or
son to commit to spending a three-hour
session with his or her mother modeling
for a portrait together.
Anyone interested in obtaining more
details may contact Barrett at 687.2133.
She also teaches art lessons fromher

Local theater group Ghostlight Productions
will performthree scenes fromthe Shakespeare
classic, Romeo and Juliet, in downtown
Clarks Summit for the Abington Council of the
Arts monthly Second Friday event.
The performances will take place next to the
clock tower May11. Act I, Scene II will be per-
formed at 6 p.m.; Act I, Scene IVwill be per-
formed at 7
p.m.; and
Act II,
Scene II
(the fa-

balco-

performed at 8
p.m. Full per-
formances will
take place at
South Abington
Park during the
first two weekends in June.
The audience can expect a humorous and
romantic taste of Shakespeares most famous
play, said Rachel Strayer, who began Ghostlight
Productions with her husband, Jonathan. Sec-
ond Friday seems like a very fun idea and a
great way to advertise our show.
Strayer said the organization is most looking
forward to connecting with even more members
of the local community on Second Friday, a
monthly artwalk that features area businesses
hosting artists, their work.
We at Ghostlight Productions strive to make
Shakespeare fun and accessible to all ages and
backgrounds. Weve also made some unique
choices with this years show. We have set Ro-
meo and Juliet in this area around the turn of
the 20th century and made the Capulet family
Italian immigrants and the Montague family
Irish immigrants. Theres nothing quite like

Excitement, admiration and
gratitude filled Janet Blaums
Glenburn home Thursday, April
26, as women joined in con-
versation. They had gathered
that night for another of Blaums
book club meetings. However,
this was no ordinary night of
discussion. The women were
joined by author Erin Duffy.
The young author made the trip
fromNewYork to share insight
on her book. Duffys debut,
Bond Girl, was the discussion
topic of the night.
Ive been in it for ten years,
said Blaum, of the book club.
Its changed over the years, but
the core of the club is about nine
girls. Blaumsaid the number
doubled for the night of the
guest authors visit. The women
discussed Duffys book in detail.
Though the book is a work of
fiction, the group members
aimed to discover which aspects
of the story were influenced by
Duffys personal experiences. A
subject of perhaps even greater
interest: howto get a book
picked up by an agent and pub-
lishing houses.
The cool thing about Erin is
that this is her first book, but she
has had about five agents pursue
her and a number of publishing
houses, said Blaum. It is high-
ly unusual for a first- time offer.
For her the process went very
smoothly.
Each month, one member of
the book club takes a turn host-
ing a meeting. The benefit is
that depending on who hosts-

In honor of Earth Day and
to increase recycling aware-
ness, Everything Natural re-
cently held a free E-cycling
(electronic recycling) event in
Clarks Summit, co-hosted by
Waste Management. Commu-
nity volunteers turned out to
unload cars and trucks full of
TVs, computers and a variety
of other electronics: video
games, a vacuum cleaner,
telephones (one rotary) and
even an electric typewriter.
Perhaps the most unusual item
was an electric snow shovel.
Everything Natural would
like to thank everyone who
brought what would otherwise
have been trash on its way to a
landfill; our staff and volun-
teers who so graciously gave
of their time to make the load
light; and Waste Management,
for moving and handling eight
tons of electronics that will
now be recycled in the USA
under R2 certification rules
safe for people, safe for the
environment, with all infor-
mation kept secure until it has
been destroyed. It is wonder-
ful that so many people and so
many parts of the community
came together to clear their
clutter, lower their carbon
footprint, and save the Earth.
Kermit may not have realized:
it is easy being green!

Everything Natural

ichols Village Hotel
and Spa general man-
ager Bob Jones is no
stranger to the company. He
began working at the hotel
since 1972 as a dishwasher,
when he was 15 years old.
My best friend in high
school said there was an
opening, Jones said. I
came over and Im still
here. Ive been a dishwash-
er, cook, assistant manager
of the restaurants, assistant
controller, controller, as-
sistant general manager and
now general manager.
Jones enjoys how Nichols
Village is unique from most
hotels in the area.
This is a different ho-
tel, he said. At least we
think it is. It was owned by
the Nichols family and
started off very small in
1955 with four hotel rooms
and some trailers. Then
they built another building,
then another building. We
have five different build-
ings now. It was built up
over time. It was a very
family-oriented place to
work, the ownership was
right here and that carried
over to the service to the
public. It was a very good
place to work. Obviously,
most people dont stay at
one place for this long,
especially in the hotel in-
dustry, but I found it very
rewarding. I grew up here, I
went to school here, I got
married here. I was born
and bred here.
Jones goals as general
manager are to keep up the
quality of service and com-
munity involvement.
We want to keep it as a
local-based hotel that ser-
vices the community, he
said. We want our guests
to feel at home, as opposed
to the corporate feel they
may get at a brand hotel.
Since were not a brand, we
have to try harder. We have
to give more services . Our
catering service does a lot
of business with local peo-
ple and companies. We
opened a spa last year to
give another amenity to the
hotel. We have a full- ser-
vice restaurant on property,
Bazil, a fine dining Italian
restaurant. We run our own
catering facility. We do a
lot of weddings and corpo-
rate events. We like to be a
part of the community. The
local Rotary club holds
their meetings here and a
lot of fraternal -type orga-
nization meet here.
Jones has been most im-
pressed with the growth of
the hotel during his tenure.
. Its difficult when you
are the only independent
hotel in the marketplace,
he said. People from out-
side the area dont really
have a frame of reference.
You have to at least get
people in the door once and
satisfy them, and then
youll have them back, but
its a little bit more difficult
to get them here that first
time. You have to make
sure they have an enjoyable
visit. Word of mouth is the
best advertisement.
Jones recognized the im-
portance of online reviews
in attracting guests to the
hotel.
Everyone is competitive
with their rates, so most
people are going to make
their decision on what peo-
ple have said so we take the
reviews seriously and re-
spond to them.
Jones resides in Newton
Township with his wife
Joann. They have been
married for 34 years. They
have a daughter, Marissa,
and a granddaughter, Elana.
Were very pleased that
the community voted us as
the top hotel in the Best of
the Abingtons for the sixth
straight year, Jones said.
Its just another sign of the
community- based atmo-
sphere that we try to main-
tain.
Jones also commended
the service that the staff
provides on a daily basis.
You can renovate your
hotel and improve the phys-
ical structure, but the core
of the hotel is the staff, he
said. That is what people
remember. Its all really
about the people. We have
great people here. Not only
myself, but many of the
other employees are much
longer tenured than the
industry average. Most
people have been hired
when they were younger
and promoted.
There have been a lot of
changes in the marketplace,
but we have remained suc-
cessful by following a ser-
vice model.

Starting at 3 p.m. June 2 and
running through June 3, the
community will be given the
opportunity , to celebrate the
lives of people who have battled
cancer, remember loved ones
and fight back against the dis-
ease.
Relay for Life is scheduled to
take place at Abington Heights
High School. This year marks
the ninth anniversary of the
Abington area event, which is
chaired and staffed by 30 stu-
dents fromAbington Heights ,
Scranton Prep and Lackawanna
Trail high schools.
According to Chair Kaitlyn
Davis, this event is a youth
event, meaning all of the prep-
aration and execution of events
are handled by high school
students. Davis said that follow-
ing the opening ceremonies, a
cancer survivor, to be an-
nounced, will be a guest speaker.
Then, at 5:30 p.m., there will be
a pasta and chicken survivors
dinner in the school cafeteria
followed by a survivors cere-
mony. This is where all of the
cancer survivors take a lap
around the track together.
The whole idea behind Relay
for Life is to have someone
walking through the night and
raising funds for the American
Cancer Society. Its an opportu-
nity for the community, as a
whole, to make a difference and
fight against cancer.
Davis said all night there will
be games, music and free food
such as hamburgers, hot dogs,
pizza, snacks and drinks for
those camping out. The event is
family-friendly and all ages are
encouraged to attend. Events
scheduled during the night in-
clude a stylist fromSanderson
State Street Salon in Clarks
Summit cutting hair for Locks
of Love. There will also be face
painting, nail painting and hair
dying.
Right nowwe have 40 teams
and our goal was 39. We broke
our goal, and were so excited
about that. Last year, we had
400 participants and expect an
even bigger turn out this year,
Davis said. The theme for the
relay is the Olympics. Were
going to have country flags for
decorations, Olympic challenge
games and Olympic stands for
first, second and third place,
said Davis.
Davis also mentioned the
important Luminaria Ceremony,
where bags are transformed and
illuminated after dark. Each one
is personalized with the name in
memory or honor of a friend or
loved one who has been affect-
ed. Each luminaria represents a
person. To get involved go to
www.relayforlife.org/pabington.
Funds raised locally will benefit
the American Cancer Society.

The Junior Girl Scout Troop 48 of
Factoryville had to pick a community
project in order to earn their bronze
award, the highest award a Junior Girl
Scout can earn. The girls had to come up
with their own ideas on what to do that
would improve and leave a lasting effect
on their community. Troop 48 decided to
paint over the graffiti on the Factoryville
6 &11 underpass. The girls picked this
project because they wanted to help the
community and they did not want little
children to see the bad words. Thanks to
the donations from the Factoryville
Womens Civic League, Factoryville
Borough Hall, Factoryville Fire Hall and
Amendolas Italian Bistro in Factoryville,
they were able to accomplish their goal
May 6.

FACTORYVILLE-On
April 11, the Factoryville
Borough/ Clinton Township
Joint Municipal Authority
held their monthly sewer
meeting which was brief in
business to tackle.
The board noted that a
property owned by John Fort-
ney had experienced a prob-
lem with a sewer pipe and a
manhole cover, Maintenance/
Sewer Operator Steve Swift
informed the board that the
issue has been corrected.
Swift said that the manhole
was sinking but not by a lot,
and if it was not mentioned it
may have sunk more, but he
had filled in the area to re-
solve the problem.
Mary Ellen Buckbee, Mu-
nicipal Authority Secretary
requested that the board con-
sider a storage unit to help
store the numerous maps that
have been gathering in the
building. Right now we have
maps unorganized and I real-
ly dont want to spend the
money on a map storage table
to organize the maps but I
have come up with another
solution. It is hard when
someone comes in to view a
map, like the sewer plant
because we dont have the
facility for it. I am asking the
board to approve the pur-
chase of two storage units
that are roughly $132 each
plus shipping, with the
amount not to exceed
$300,"she said. The board did
agree with Buckbee that the
town building needs a storage
area for the maps and ap-
proved the purchase of the
two storage units.

During preparations for the 2011
Clarks Summit Centennial Cele-
bration, staff members of the Clarks
Summit Department of Public
Works discovered a time capsule that
was prepared in 1976. Members of
the Clarks Summit Centennial Com-
mittee are seeking additional in-
formation regarding the capsule.
Former Abington Community Li-
brary Director Mary Tuthill said she
recalled that it was moved to the
borough from the library, which was
then at its School Street location. But
other details are not known by the
committee.
The time capsule features a plaque
with the message: From the people
of the Abington Area in 1976, to the
citizens of the Abington are in 2076.
We leave this time capsule to be
opened during the tricentennial.
Anyone with information is asked
to contact The Abington Journal at
kgrier@theabingtonjournal.com or
585.1604.

HISTORY
SCOTT TOWNSHIP- At the
recent school board meeting of the
Lakeland School District, it was
announced that the board will be
considering a tax increase for the
upcoming school year. The board
noted that the reason for the in-
crease is to balance the schools
current budget.
Currently the district has a tax of
91 mills, with each mill bringing in
around $75,422. A mill represents
a $1 tax for every $1,000 property
assessed value.
The proposed current prelimina-
ry budget reflects a 2 mill increase,
which in the end would provide
$150,000 in revenue. The budget is
scheduled to be finalized in May.
Board members will be able to
vote on the preliminary budget as
early as June. Currently the district
has a fund balance of about $5.6
million, and is involved in a multi-
million dollar renovation project at
the high school.
Lakeland considers
school tax increase
BY SUSAN REBENSKY
When Abington Christian Acad-
emy eighth grade student Maanasa
Boini, of Clarks Summit, was first
asked by her teacher Tim Zieger to
enter a womens history essay con-
test, she wasnt sure she could or
wanted to. But, after much encour-
agement from Zieger, as well as
her father, Sid Boini, she agreed.
Shes now glad she did.
Boini won first place in the sev-
enth-through-ninth-grade division
of the contest, which was spon-
sored by the Lackawanna County
League of Women Voters and the
Jane Kopas Womens Center of
The University of Scranton.
She said although she enjoys
writing, at first she was a little out
of her comfort zone with the essay,
as she most enjoys writing and
reading fiction and fantasy stories.
(Her two favorite authors are J.K.
Rowling and J.R.R. Tolkien.)
Then, as she began to explore the
theme of the contest, Womens
EducationWomens Empower-
ment, Recognizing the Pioneering
Leadership of Women and Their
Impact on the Diverse Areas of
Education, her enthusiasm for the
task grew.
She chose as her subject former
Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day
OConnor, who she described in
the essay as, one of the Supreme
Courts most influential, well-re-
spected justices, and a role mod-
el for all women.
She said one of the things that
impressed her most about OCon-
nor is her humble beginnings,
growing up on a farm. She was
also impressed to find that OCon-
nor traveled to each state and to
different countries, meeting the
people and making herself acces-
sible to them.
And, of course, theres the fact
that she was the first woman ap-
pointed to the Supreme Court.
Law is a field that is dominated
by men, Boini said, More so 20
years ago than now, but to be a
woman in that field is an accom-
plishment.
She wrote in the essay, Justice
OConnors dedication and person-
al discipline has inspired me to
pursue a career in law. Justice
OConnor proved that a woman
can be articulate, powerful, and
influential, without sacrificing her
identity as a woman. Although
becoming a U.S. Supreme Court
Justice is an achievement only few
will attain, seeing a woman ac-
complish this instills in me the
faith that one day I may be a suc-
cessful lawyer, too.
This career aspiration may seem
to some a high goal for a 13-year-
old, but its not one that she, her
family or her teachers take lightly.
She really embraces learning
and her development, said Sid
Boini, who is a lawyer himself.
Not just academically, but in ex-
pressing herself and her thoughts.
Maanasa Boini said some of her
favorite subjects in school are his-
tory, literature, Latin, logic and
writing. Shes also taken lessons in
Indian classical dance, Hindi, kar-
ate, and swimming.
She said she loves to write, but
doesnt think she would have liked
it as much, or done as well in it,
were it not for her teachers at
Abington Christian Academy. She
said one of the things she likes
most about the school is the one-
on-one attention the teachers give
each student. If you have a prob-
lem, she said, or you dont under-
stand something, you can talk to
the teacher and theyll help you
understand.
She later added that Ziegers
constructive criticism and lots of
encouragement were what really
helped develop her writing skills,
which led her to winning the essay
contest.

CLARKS SUMMIT- At
the Borough of Clarks Sum-
mit Council Meeting May 2,
Dori Waters, of the Abington
Area Community Classroom
(AACC), spoke to Council
regarding The Gathering
Place, a proposed project to
convert the first floor of the
Borough Building into a
community art and education
center. Waters said the pro-
ject is now at the fundraising
stage.
She said the plan is to be-
gin offering plaques of dedi-
cation of rooms in The Gath-
ering Place for individual
donations. She also spoke
about the possibility of dedi-
cating the entire center for
one large donation. And on a
slightly smaller scale, she
mentioned an idea in the
works of constructing a
stained glass window with
the image of a tree, each leaf
being a dedicated to a donor.
Council gave their un-
official approval of these
ideas, as no official action
was deemed necessary.
On the agenda under Bids
and Quotations, it was an-
nounced that bids have
opened for the 2012 Sewer
Repair Project. Council also
voted to sell the police car to
a bidder for $500.
The Treasurers Report and
committee reports were giv-
en, including Building and
Plant, Finance, Grant, Insur-
ance, Personnel, Public Safe-
ty and Safety, Public Works,
Recreation, Recycling and
Emergency Management
committees.
During the Public Works
Report, Council discussed a
problem regarding delivery
trucks driving the wrong way
up Depot Street after exiting
a restaurant parking lot.
Councilman Roy Davis said
he would like to see a traffic
study done on that 100 feet
of street to consider making
it a two-way section.
Councilman David Jenkins
pointed out the reason that
street was made a one-way
street to begin with was all
the accidents that occurred
there. He said he believes it
will not help the situation to
make it a two-way again, and
it would only make it more
dangerous, inviting more
accidents to happen.
Councilman Herman John-
son said there are many pros
and cons to the idea, and
suggested doing an in-house
traffic study to investigate it
further.
During the Recycling
Committee Report, Council-
woman Patty Lawler said she
would like to thank everyone
who involved in the Earth
Day Celebration for helping
make it happen.
It takes a lot of people to
make something so wonder-
ful, she said.
She commended the
Abington Heights School
District for their part in the
celebration, and Clarks Sum-
mit Elementary School for
the near 1.7 tons of phone
books the students collected
for recycling.
Under New Business on
the agenda were the 30 -day
trial periods for the employ-
ment of the new Assistant
Borough Secretary, Jenn
Schmidt and the new Bor-
ough Treasurer, Melissa
Jones.
Under New Business,
Council voted unanimously
in favor of Resolution 2012-
15, regarding the hand-
icapped-accessible sidewalks
to be put in on Bedford
Street.
Council also voted to re-
schedule the Council meet-
ing which falls on July 4 to
July 11, due to the holiday.

Shakespeare quite like this, added
Strayer.
This is Ghostlight Productions fourth
annual Shakespeare in the Park. The
organization began Shakespeare in the
Park in 2009, and has had nearly 3,000

despite pouring rain.
They have also hosted two dinner
theatre shows, performing Agatha

said they are looking forward to bring-
ing Clarks Summit even more produc-
tions in the future.
Ghostlight Productions holds open audi-
tions every year about two months prior to
showdates. All cast members this year are
local, currently living in Clarks Summit,
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Tunkhannock and
the surrounding areas.
We are so honored this year to be
named Best Theatre Group in the annual

odist Church building, which is how
she and the Granet family met.
Granet, a Scranton resident, said
when her family first moved into the
area, another of her daughters, Rose,
now 9, began taking art lessons from
another studio. Then, after meeting
Barrett at an auction, Granet signed
up Rose and Grace, now 7, for class-
es with her.
Granet said she would like to take
classes herself in the future, and once
Marie is a little older, she plans on
signing her up as well. For now, how-
ever, she said Rose and Grace are the
members of the family with the most
interest and talent.
Barrett said she teaches all ages,
her current youngest student being in
first grade and the oldest 78 years of
age.
Rose and Grace Granet both said
they love attending the classes and
painting. Rose especially enjoys
painting still life images and Graces
favorite subject is animals.
Rose said one of her favorite parts
about the classes is that Mrs. Bar-
retts not telling us exactly what to
do.
Grace agreed, We can paint what-
ever we want.
Posie Granet said Barrett starts off
by teaching her students to copy
from great impressionists and then
giving them a blank canvas.
Kathy makes it so it is a success
to them no matter what, she said,
adding that Barrett also helps them a
lot with their confidence in them-
selves and their work.
Barrett said she also tries to teach
her students about art history and art
appreciation.
Rose said her favorite artists are
Vincent van Gogh and Georgia
OKeeffe, and Grace said hers is
Mrs. Barrett.
I think Kathys a great example to
them, Posie said, not only in her
talent, but her support, generosity
and kindness to them. And I think
she gives them a lot of confidence.
Barrett said shes been teaching art
classes on and off for about 20 years,
and has consistently been teaching
yearround for the past two. Shes
been a professional artist for 28
years.
She said she keeps her classes
small and likes the intergenerational
aspect of them because the younger
students can learn a lot from the
older, and vice versa. She also said
she uses the highest quality materials
and professional brushes so her stu-
dents can get the best results from
their work.

Bakers fromall across
Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, and some outside
the area, found their way
to Scranton last week
ready to put their cakes
to a challenge.
The Great Chefs XXII
Cake Challenge, a fun-
draiser for the Womens
Resource Center, was
held May 2 at the Radis-
son Lackawanna Station
Hotel, 700 Lackawanna
Ave., Scranton.
Eighteen bakers com-
peted in three categories,
beginner, intermediate
and advanced, in this
event. Each designed a
cake based on this years
theme, Around the
World.
I think they are gor-
geous, said Marita
Lawrence, chairperson
for Great Chefs Cake
Challenge. I think we
are so lucky to have all
these talented bakers. I
think each year it gets
better and better.
Lawrence explained
that while this is the
22nd Great Chefs, the
cake decorating compe-
tition is something add-
ed only a fewyears ago.
In the past the Womens
Resource Center invited
prominent chefs in the
area to do demonstra-
tions, but the group
changed it to cake deco-
rating and have received
positive feedback from
the public.
Its fairly new. Its just
been going on a couple
of years, with the cake
decorating, but I think
the public is really excit-
ed about this, said Law-
rence.
They love seeing the
cakes. And they can also
vote for their favorite
cake (for the Peoples
Choice Award), so I
think thats fun for peo-
ple to do.
Sandy Chesak of My
Mothers Delicacies won
the Peoples Choice
Award this year.
Awards were also
given out to bakers who
finished in first place in
the beginner, intermedi-
ate and advanced levels.
Winners were chosen by
judges KimMorrison, a
certified master sugar
artist, and Colette Peters,
the grand prize winner
of the Food Networks
Cake Challenge.
The cakes were judged
on a number of different
criteria, including how
well they correspond
with the theme.
Winners in this years
cake challenge were
Cindy Lepo, advanced;
Lynn Mazzga, interme-
diate; and Abby Somers,
beginner.
Somers, a Scranton
resident, opened her own
bakery, Babby Cakes,
out of her home in Janu-
ary. She first heard about
the competition last year,
and decided to enter this
year.
She said she was sur-
prised to go home a
winner her first time out.
It was exciting. Im
still excited, said Some-
rs.
It was a lot of fun to
be there and to be able to
tell people about my
business.
Somers, and the rest of
this years winners, were
presented their awards in
front of the crowd of
over 400 people in at-
tendance for this years
event, which also fea-
tured a silent auction.
All the proceeds from
the night went to the
Womans Resource Cen-
ter, a private nonprofit
organization founded in
1976, serving survivors
of domestic violence and
sexual assault in Lacka-
wanna and Susquehanna
Counties in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania.
We are an organiza-
tion that provides shelter
for abused women and
children, and we also
have an advocacy pro-
gram, said Lawrence.

I would have to say the Die-
trichs recent bus trip to Phila-
delphia was nothing short of
wonderful. On this journey, 19
of us visited the Philadelphia
Museum of Art and the histor-
ic district. While at the mu-
seum, we were able to take in
the special Van Gogh Up
Close exhibit. Of course Van
Goghs works were terrific.
One of my favorite paintings
Rain makes you feel like
you are looking through a
window on a rainy, dreary day.
I also enjoyed the audio tour
that went along with the ex-
hibit. It gave you perspective
into Vincent Van Goghs life
through correspondence be-
tween him and his brother
Theo. Plus it showed how
much his work was inspired by
Japanese prints.
During our time in the his-
toric district we were able to
strike out on our own to ex-
plore. Some of us visited the
first post office, Independence
Hall, and Christ Church Burial
Ground where Benjamin Fran-
klin was buried. Then we all
met up as a group for dinner at
the City Tavern and dessert at
Franklin Foundation, an early
1900s -styled ice cream shop.
After taking one of these trips,
I am always reminded that it is
so important to get out there to
learn and explore.
Our next excursion will be
to Everhart Museum in Scran-
ton Saturday, July 14. During
this day trip from 9:30 a.m. - 2
p.m, we will take a child-
friendly tour of the Everhart
Museum, explore their
BEEyond exhibit, which is all
about bees and beekeeping.
After the tour, we will take
part in an educational work-
shop about the exhibit
BEEyond. Following the
workshop, we will be able to
enjoy a box lunch in Nay Aug
Park and visit the Nay Aug
gorge and tree house. Its a
great trip to experience one of
our area treasures. The cost for
the day is $10 and a box lunch
is included. For questions or to
make reservations, please
contact the Dietrich Theater at
570-996-1500.
An event that is coming up
later this month is the Dietrich
Theater Radio Players live
show on Tuesday, May 22 at 7
p.m. During this show we will
go back to those memorable
days of radio and experience
live sound effects by our Esth-
er Harmatz, music by Carol
Broll and the drama of the
theatre of the mind. This
time around, the group, direct-
ed by Valerie Paulus will be
performing the drama Rail-
roaded (aka. Hit and Run)

F
or Mark Schultz, his career
has been a little bit of this
and a little bit of that. The
Clarks Summit resident has been
cartooning and illustrating for more
than 20 years and is likely best
known as the writer of the Prince
Valiant comic strip. He has pro-
duced weekly scripts since the
mid-2000s for the King Features
Syndicate comic that appears in
Sunday newspapers.
Schultz is an award -winning
cartoonist, a writer who draws and
writes for comics, an illustrator
and a writer of fiction and non-
fiction.
I really didnt figure out that I
could do this until I was 30. I had
always dreamed of doing this, but
it didnt fall into place until I
turned 30. It took me a while to
figure it out, said Schultz.
Currently, at his drawing table in
his studio, a room beaming with
natural sunlight and with filled
bookcases surrounding him, he
writes the Prince Valiant newspa-
per comic strip. Schultz is also
immersed in his work on a new
addition to his series of collected
drawings and sketches, as well as
in finishing the illustrations to his
cautionary novella, Storms At
Sea, all of which are published by
Flesk Publications.
My career involves various sto-
rytelling skills that overlap. When I
create my own comics, I both
write and draw them. In the case
of Prince Valiant, I write it and
another artist draws it. It doesnt
often happen with me but theoret-
ically, someone else could write
something that I would draw. Its a
flexible medium. Its like film-
making or theater, its collaborative
sometimes, but the nice thing
about comics is if you choose to
control all of the elements in-
volved, you can.
He added, I like to tell stories
and I get paid to do it both vi-
sually and in written form. Im
involved with telling stories that
are mostly fiction.
His career began in 1986 and
1987 with a comic book, an
award- winning speculative adven-
ture comic book he created, Xe-
nozoic Tales that has been adapt-
ed to television as the animated
series Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
Things fell in place just right,
said Schultz, referring to his work.
According to Schultz, the initial
Xenozoic adventure originally ap-
peared in the eighth issue of
Kitchen Sinks Press anthology
magazine, Death Rattle. Reader
response was positive, leading
Kitchen Sink to offer Schultz his
own book that premiered February
1987. Foreign editions of Xeno-
zoic Tales stories have been pro-
duced in France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Sweden and
Finland.
Schultzs work is categorized as
adventure fiction, and most has a
speculative fiction patina, a science
fiction.
Prior to 1986, Schultz produced
commercial illustrations.
I grew up drawing. I dont re-
member a time when I didnt draw
and my interests tend to go to-
wards speculative fiction in the
sciences both fiction and non-
fiction science - so that kind of
directed my interests in both draw-
ing and as I got older I got into
creative writing. I wanted to tell
stories. The glue through every-
thing I do is storytelling. said
Schultz.

The subject of suicide will
take the stage when The Actors
Circle of Scranton closes its
30th season with the Pulitzer
Prize-winning play Night,
Mother. Director John McI-
nerney, Clarks Summit, ex-
plained that the play is highly
dramatic and highly theatrical.
It (the play) deals with a
sensitive subject that affects
many, he said. At the same
time, its touching and funny. Its
a theatrical play, but also an
emotional play.
The play explores a tense
relationship
between a
mother and
daughter
following
the daugh-
ters revela-
tion that she
will commit
suicide. Cast
as the moth-
er and
daughter are
Janet Loewe
of Clarks
Summit and
Darla Ger-
meroth. McInerney said that the
two women are gifted, local
actresses who will be deliver-
ing fine performances.
These are veterans who are
professional and nice to work
with, he explained.
McInerney became familiar
with the play during his 42-year
tenure teaching at The Uni-
versity of Scranton. He ex-
plained that he taught the play
as part of his Drama as Litera-
ture course and had always
enjoyed it. He also said he saw
the play performed on Broad-
way, as well as a filmversion.
The play was chosen for The
Actors Circle as a way to chal-
lenge the audience.
The subject matter makes
the play more challenging for
the audience, McInerney said.
There are very fewpeople who
havent been affected by sui-
cide. The play illuminates in a
psychologically- helping way
the people who are affected by
it.
For McInerney, this is his
third time serving as director
with The Actors Circle. He
previously directed the play
Inspector Calls, as well as his
own, original work, Secrets,
which won the 2000 Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania Theatre Alli-
ance prize for
Best Original
Play. Outside
of his directing
efforts, McI-
nerney has
been involved
with the group
for more than
30 years as an
actor, producer
and member of
the board of
directors. He
also acted in
several produc-
tions during his
time teaching at the University
of Scranton.
Night, Mother will run at the

the ill-fated Titanic, ending with a final
shocking twist.
The Titanic Secret: AThriller, by Jack
Steel. It is April 1912. Alex Tremayne of
Britains Secret Service and Maria Weston,
a fearless American agent currently work-
ing in Britain, have been enlisted to stop
tyrannical Gunther Voss, a German finan-
cier and millionaire, who is planning to
commit America to joining forces with
Germany against Great Britain. Traveling
undercover as man and wife, their mission
is to neutralize Vosss plan before he reac-
hes the States. Theyll be tracking his ev-
ery move in the greatest luxury, occupying
a first class suite on board the Titanic, on
her maiden voyage fromSouthampton to
A
long with the many non-fiction
accounts of the sinking of the Ti-
tanic that were published to com-
memorate the100th anniversary of the
disaster last month, two novelists also used
the tragedy as background for their new
books. These were just recently added to
the collection at the Abington Community
Library.
House of Velvet and Glass, by Kathe-
rine Howe. Sibyl Allstons mother and
sister both perished when the Titanic
sank and she is now, three years later, still
reeling fromtheir deaths. She lives in an
elegant town house in Bostons Back Bay
with her taciturn father and scandal-
plagued brother, trapped in a world over
which she has no control. When her broth-
er is expelled fromHarvard under myste-
rious circumstances, Sibyl turns for help to
Professor Benton Derby, and ultimately,
the two work together to solve what turns
out to be a harrowing mystery. The novel
takes the reader fromBostons Chinatown
to high society salons and fromthe back
alleys of colonial Shanghai to the decks of
NewYork. Over the next fewnights of
their doomed journey, the choices between
life and death, as well as their dedication to
duty, will become more treacherous than
they could ever have imagined.

Photographer Garrett Craig-
Lucas predicts Saturday will be
an afternoon of great jazz
performed by two outstanding
musicians and artworks exhib-
ited in a great venue, with peo-
ple who share their same in-
terests and concerns.
On May 12, from1-3 p.m.,
the Abington Community Li-
brary will host a reception for
the Made for Spring: The
Gardeners Gift photo exhibit,
featuring local artists Alayna
and Garrett Craig-Lucas.
The exhibit, a part of the
Second Saturdays event, will
run through May and feature
art photography and prints by
the siblings. The proceeds from
the sale of these artworks will
benefit both the American
Cancer Society Relay for Life
and the Abington Community
Library. The reception will also
feature live music by the Jim
Buckley/Jim Tigue Jazz Duo.
As for the exhibit, according
to Garrett Craig-Lucas, photos
at this show will be a selection
of floral, some from their own
garden. Every year since I can
remember, my sister, Alayna,
my dad, and I have planted
hundreds of bulbs. Its sort of
our Thanksgiving weekend
ritual and we never miss it. The
spring is spectacular at our
house, with a big display of all
varieties of daffodils, crocuses,
tulips, irises and peonies. Its
amazing to me that the bulbs
live through the cold winters
here and the plants, even once
theyve flowered, survive
spring frosts and snow. We
look forward to them all winter
and several years ago, Alayna
and I started photographing
them when they bloomed.
They really are a gift and thats
how we called the exhibit and
the fundraiser, The Gardeners
Gift, he said.
We believe they send a
message of hope and promise,
and that is what Relay for Life
is all about, he addded.
Garrett and Alayna first
became involved with Relay
for Life four years ago, and
started the exhibit for charity
two years ago. Alayna actually
originated this fundraiser when
she captained, Team Life for
the Relay. Since then, I have
contributed to the collection of
images and modified the fun-
draisers format somewhat. The
prints and fine art photos on
display at the library are avail-
able in return for donations,
with proceeds benefiting the
Abington Relay for Life, and
Abington Community Library
jointly. I am hoping that this
years exhibit will be as well
received, he said.
Garrett, a high school senior,
has enjoyed photography since
he was young, but only recent-
ly has taken a real interest in
it.
I encourage everyone to
take a look through a camera
lens. It doesnt have to be a
great camera. Just looking
through a lens helps me to
focus on one thing, as opposed
to everything going on around
me. I think that it is important
to slow down and take a look
at things from different per-
spectives. I am just starting out
myself and I enjoy what I see,
he added.
As for Saturday, I hope that
the event is well attended. I
would love for people to see
and enjoy the artwork, but as
much or more than that, I
would like people to get to
know the Abington Library if
they dont already, and learn
more about the Relay for Life
mission to, celebrate, remem-
ber and fight back in the battle
against cancer, he said.
For more information, con-
tact the Abington Community
Library at 570. 587. 3440 or
Garrett Craig-Lucas (on behalf
of the Relay for Life), directly
at garrettjcl1994@comcast.net
or 570. 878. 7798. The event
on Saturday is free to the pub-
lic. The Abington Community
Library is located at 1200 West
Grove Street in South Abing-
ton Township.

month the Dietrich will host
Tango Movie and Lesson
on Sunday, May 27 at 1 p.m.
The movie Tango, which is
beautifully filmed in Buenos
Aires, home of the Argentine
Tango, is about a movie direc-
tor and the men and women
whose lives revolve around
tango. After the film, you will
have a chance to learn this
dance known for its beauty,
passion, drama and excite-
ment. Jill and Gehred Wetzel
will teach an introductory
tango lesson at Father Nallin
Hall. Admission to the movie
and lesson is $10. Call the
Dietrich at 570.996.1500 for
more information or to regis-
ter.
As you can see, the Dietrich
is so much more than the mo-
vies!
MOVIES
thats who picks the book, so
youre really exposed to a lot
of different genres that you
might not otherwise pick up,
said Carmina Rinkunas. She
has been a part of the club for
about seven years. The friend-
ships that develop through the
club are perhaps the biggest
appeal. Froma social stand-
point, its fantastic and a lot of
us have become very good
friends, said Rinkunas.
Many of us have gone
through different personal
issues and its nice to have a
good core group of women
for support.
The women at the meeting
were appreciative of the
young authors guest appear-
ance. I thought maybe she
would Skype (video call) with
us, but she ended up coming,
which is awesome, said Kris-
tin Jungbluth, a regular at the
meetings.
Most books have discussion
questions available online.
Duffy had just written dis-
cussion questions and
Blaums club was lucky to be
the first to use them. I think
its pretty rare that a young
author like that would spend
her own time and money to
travel to Pennsylvania from
NewYork City just to do it,
said Blaum. She wants to
connect with her readers and
get input. It says something
about her character.
Duffy concluded her pre-
sentation, It was great to hear
their different opinions on
issues such as women in the
workplace and gender equal-
ity. It gave me a lot to think
about and will impact howI
handle certain issues going
forward.
Area libraries can also be
resources when a group seeks
to begin a book club.
One of the challenges in
starting a club is getting
enough copies of a book. We
have books here in storage
where everyone can have their
own copy, said Abington
Community Library Director
Leah Rudolph. They can
take themout for an extended
period of time.
While Blaums group read
the same book at their meet-
ing, there are many clubs
where each member reads a
different book on the same
theme. There is a group
called Current Topics. One
month they might choose
anything by Ernest Heming-
way or a childrens book, said
Rudolph.
After the group members
read their books they might
discuss the parallels between
them. Rudolph explained that
the library often holds themed
book discussions. Imin a
discussion right nowwith two
teachers. We will be holding
some book club discussions in
the library soon.
One of those discussions is
a World War II non-fiction
theme. There will also be a
book club on freaks, circuses
and magic. Both will be facil-
itated by Sue Curtin and are
anticipated to start in June.

LOVE YA ALL!
THANKS!
It has been three months since our world was turned upside down.
Jasons sudden and tragic passing left us with many questions and
wounds that will never heal. It was only thru the tremendous outpouring
of love and support for Jason and our family that we were able to take
comfort in knowing what a tremendous man Jason was and just how
many people he touched in his short 30 years. It is amazing how one
soul could have such an impact on so many lives. There are so many
people that we would like to thank and offer our gratitude to including
all of those who organized and ran the benefts at McGraths Pub, the
Beagle Pub & Eatery, and also
the softball tournament, not
to mention all the players that
braved the elements to play in
the tournament. A thank you
to Graces Downfall, Jasons
favorite local band, for honoring
Jason as well. Also tremendous
thanks to his boys for being
pallbearers and making sure
his Cummins was there to
see him off, Jason would be so
proud of all that his friends have
done. Again we cannot offer
enough thanks to everyone that
comforted us with their kind
words, thoughts and prayers.
Jason will always live on in each
of us - in our memories of him
and our continued thoughts of
him, as well as the scholarship
set up in his memory. Again, all
our sincerest thanks to everyone
who kept us in your thoughts &
prayers during this very diffcult
time.

SCRANTON- Abington
Heights led Scranton, 4-0, after
the first inning of the May 7
softball game. The game was
delayed because of heavy rain
and poor playing conditions and
as of Tuesday, the continuation
date was yet to be determined.
Abington Heights shortstop
Kelsey Sarafinko led off the
game with a single and stole
second base. The next batter,
centerfielder Cailey Ware, drove
her in with a single. Third base-
man Jessica Mahler added a
single and pitcher Claire Laka-
tos knocked in two runs with a
double. First baseman Katherine
Rosencrance ended the scoring
with an RBI single.
Lakatos held the Lady
Knights scoreless in the bottom

After defeating Mountain
View16-6, the Lackawanna
Trail Jr./Sr. High School soft-
ball teampushed its record to
9-1behind the bat of senior
outfielder Clarissa Eggleston.
Eggleston compiled three
hits, two runs and four RBIs in
the Lady Lions eighth straight
victory.
Our teamhas done so well
this season, and we have been
working very well together this
year, Eggleston said. We
really didnt have a good year
last season.
In the last three games, Eg-
gleston batted .462 with six hits
and ten RBIs. The clean-up
hitter has a .368 batting average
on the season and leads the
Lady Lions in RBIs with15.
Imvery happy with my
performance this season,
Eggleston said. I think what
helped me was having our
assistant coach (Joel Neitz)
work on everyones batting
swing.
Eggleston lives with her
father WilliamEggleston in
Tunkhannock. She started
playing softball at age seven
when she played pony league
in Factoryville for Christy
Mathewson.
The reason I wanted to play
softball was I always liked
being busy as a child, Eggles-
ton said. Seeing I could also
play a spring sport along with a
winter and summer made me
want to play.
Eggleston enjoys the sport
because it allows her to play
with all of her friends.
The best part of playing
softball at Trail is that weve all
played with each other for as
long as I can remember, Eg-
gleston said. Since we are a
very small school, it makes the
teamcloser and we all get
along very well.
Eggleston also plays basket-
ball and field hockey at Lacka-
wanna Trail.
Other than doing sports I
just like hanging out with my
friends because sports takes up

SCRANTON A young
lineup kept an old streak alive
for the Abington Heights high
school girls track and field
team.
Freshman Michaelina
Holmes, sophomore Erin Jaeg-
er and junior Taylor Ross were
each part of two winning
events Thursday to help the
Lady Comets win the Class
AAA girls title at the Jordan
Relays for the sixth straight
year.
Abington Heights set two
records on the way to victory.
Ross and Erin Jaeger were
involved in both.
It is our girls favorite event
of the year, Abington Heights
coach Frank Passetti said. Its
kind of a relaxed atmosphere
where they get to do events that
they do not normally do.
One of those events was the
opening distance medley
where Ross ran the opening
800-meter leg, Erin Jaeger and
Missy Burke ran 400s and
Holmes ran the closing 1600
for a record time of 9:48.89.
The other record came in the
3200-meter relay, one of the
events that is part of the league,
district and state competitions.
Jenn Burke, Briana Jaeger,
Ross and Erin Jaeger each ran
an 800 leg for a record-setting
time of 9:43.77.
The other win came in the
1600 medley relay when Kel-
sey ODonnell and Abigail
McMinn ran 200 legs, fol-
lowed by a 400 leg from
Holmes and an 800 by Tessa
Barrett.
Passetti said the event
comes at a good time of the
season where they finished up
with their dual meet season,
theyre getting ready to go into
the league meet and then into
districts.
Its a nice way to ease into
the busiest time of your season
and get ready for districts and
leagues.
The Lady Comets, who cap-
tured the Lackawanna Track
Conference Division 1 title
three days earlier, scored 51
points to finish 18 in front of
LTC Division 2 champion
Western Wayne.
Abington Heights finished
second in two events.
ODonnell, Isabelle Clauss
and Lauren Hoyt were on both
second-place teams. Elisia
Cadman joined them on the
4x100 and McMinn was on the
1200 sprint medley.
Missy Burke, Clauss, Cad-
man and Erin Jaeger were
fourth in the closing 4x400
relay.
The Lakeland girls set a
Class AA record in the 4x100
relay.
Tori Doyle, Sarah Larkin,
Emily Williams and Cassidy
Jenkins finished in 50.49.
Tim Von Storch, Mark Ar-
zie, Nathan Morgan and Zach
Krieger combined to win the
Class AA 4x800 for the Lake-
land boys in 8:28.64.
Valley View (AAA) and
Holy Cross (AA) won the
boys titles, each scoring 56 of
a possible 60 points.
Scranton Prep was second
and Abington Heights fifth out
of 10 Class AAA boys teams.
Tyler Shotto and T.J.
OHearn were each part of
both Scranton Prep event wins.
Lakeland was second of 12
teams in Class AA with 40
points.
Scranton Prep was sixth of 11
teams in Class AAA girls.
Lakeland was second of 11 in

trip took an interesting twist. It
began to rain steadily, but many
of the scouts braved through the
night sleeping in the tents.
As the school year is nearing
its end, all scouts are starting to
plan for their summer camp
experience. Nowis the time
when scouts plan and sign up
for the merit badges that they
wish to take. At summer camp,
scouts take four merit badge
classes and one lunch. Scouts
can choose the courses that they
have the most interest in. Most
of the scouts try to plan ahead
and pick classes with their
friends. Remember a scout is
friendly.

er that could launch targets
effectively down range. Before
the trip, the scouts had to attend
two mandatory safety meetings.
At these meetings, scouts leaned
proper safety procedures. We
also learned proper handling
and firing methods. The scouts
spent the entire day shooting the
firearms. Troop160 is very
thankful for the area that we
were given permission to use.

rifles. We shot at a variety of
targets down range. The shotgun

It was a full house at
the April 30 Waverly
Township Board of Su-
pervisors meeting. Ad-
dress changes from North
Abington Township to
Waverly Township contin-
ue to be a problem. A
vote to change the name
was approved by vote in
2010.
One problem with the
addresses not being
changed from North
Abington involves earned
income tax, Township
Manager Bill White said.
He found that after re-
questing a list of tax-
payers he realized the
submitted list was mis-
sing 169 residents due to
address problems. He
said residents are losing
money and believes its
time to, Blow this thing
wide open.The first item
of public concern was
presented by Ron Hack-
man, vice chair of trust-
ees for the Waverly Unit-
ed Methodist Church. His
concern was the ordi-
nance regarding the
church parking lot. The
language in the ordinance
states the entrance must
be no wider than 15 feet;
however it had been
paved at 30 feet. Hack-
man and Pastor Barbara
Snyder of the church
showed a highlighted
copy of the proposed
parking lot that stated it
was to be at 30 feet.
Hackman said he Wants
to understand what the
township wants so they
can adequately respond
to it.
Marissa Longstreet at-
tended as a representative
for Waverly Community
Church. The church is
interested in providing a
clothing drop-off shed
and applied for a certif-
icate of appropriateness
to the Historic Architec-
ture Review Board which
was denied.
Their next submission
was for a white vinyl-
sided shed with a green
roof to match the church,
which meets require-
ments.
The shed also requires
a new sign to meet with
the historic district re-
quirements. The super-
visors said they feel it is
a good idea but the re-
view board said it would
be a problem with a
business operating out of
a residential area.
Longstreet said the
clothing drop-off shed
would be non-profit and
the Waverly Community
House would receive
close to $600 in funding
every month. The cloth-
ing from the drop-off
shed would be distributed
locally and kept in the
community. Township
manager Bill White said
there will need to be a
hearing before the zoning
board since it will not
be a no impact project.
Longstreet added, Were
totally willing to accom-
modate ordinances.

Organizers of the 4th Annual Migratory
Bird Day at the Everhart Museum offered
the community an opportunity to learn and
create April 28. Stefanie Bush, Everhart
Museum, director of interpretive programs
said of the event, Migratory Bird Day is not
only a celebration of species around the
world, but also a day to educate our local
community about the importance of migrato-
ry bird conservation.
And feathered migratory bird friends were
the topic of presentations and demonstrations
by members of the community through activ-
ities such as a Bird Symbol Tour, a self-guided
tour with Amy Dickerson sponsored by the
Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Tem-
ple; bird drawings by Keystone College students
and a demonstration of how robins find their
worms by Maria Fanning from Keystone Col-
lege, with a bird painting donated by artist, Al
Ondush; Can Birds Talk? a Power Point pre-
sentation by Mary Belle Gilroy, Lackawanna
Trail High School art teacher; demonstrations
and a workshop with artist Earl Lehman; Bird
Books by Lindsay Barrett George; a word
with Wende DeOliveira Woody Acres
Conservation Eco-Center; Bird Tales
storytelling with Karen Slachta and a
visit from Rebecca Lesko, Endless
Mountains Nature Center founder and
director, Raptors Rule, with three
helpers from the center, a Screech
Owl, an American Kestrel or small
Falcon, and a Red-Tailed Hawk.

now we wont be able to raise
taxes enough.
The board voted down a tax
increase, at the current time,
5-3.
Board member Frank Sante-
riollo was absent from the
meeting.
The potential 2012-13 tax
increase is limited to 1.7 per-
cent, around two mils or
$400,000 of new revenue for
the district.
Mahon announced that the
district decided to keep the
occupational therapist from the
Northeastern Educational
Intermediate Unit, or NEIU,
rather than hire an independent
contractor for the next year.
Mahon also announced that
tickets for the Jr. /Sr. Prom
have sold out and there likely
will be a lottery for the re-
maining tickets the school was
able to acquire.
Heather Masshardt, policy
specialist for the Pennsylvania
School Boards Association
(PSBA) addressed the board to
discuss changes to their pol-
icies. According to Mahon, the
district is beginning the proc-
ess of a wholesale update of its
policies and has contracted
PSBA for that purpose.
Masshardt thanked board
member for their service and
gave background information
on her Association.
The PSBA works with over
590 schools and is constantly
reviewing its policies and
working with their legal, re-
search and governmental staffs
to make sure things are kept
up to date with current laws,
regulations and court deci-
sions.
We firmly believe that
policies should be pro-active,
not reactive. The court should
have well defined policies in
place that you can govern
effectively and not have to
respond to certain circum-
stances as they arise. Policy is
your effective governance tool
and the authority that is grant-
ed to the board by the general
assembly. We believe it should
be consistent and up to date.
You (Abington Heights) have
an incredibly strong founda-
tion in the district. We would
just like to help you fill in the
gaps. There are some things
that are outdated or missing.
Were here to help you work
with your administrative team.
The board has the policy role
and the administration has the
role of implementing those
policies. Having a consistent
policy manual will help the
administration do their job
effectively on a day to day
basis. Also, working with us
will give them a resource to
use.
The board contracted PSBA
for a policy development ser-
vice at a cost of $7,000; part
of the fee included on-site
research. Masshardt noticed
some inconsistent numbering
in policies and a number of
duplications in the policy
manual, and some outdated or
missing policies. According to
Masshardt, she will take all the
research back to the PSBA
office and it will be compiled
with their model policy guides
and customized to fit the
school districts needs.
According to Masshardt, the
district will start receiving
drafts in about five or six
months, one section at a time,
about every month with rec-
ommendations. According to
Masshardt, the PSBAs policy
manual contains about 220
different policies. Masshardt
added that once the district
begins receiving drafts, the
average time on completion is
about 18 months, but it really
depends on the ambition of the
district.
According to Hardaway, the
board has never done a project
like this, they have updated
policies but they have been
piecemealed as they have
been brought to us. This is a
way to systemically keep our
policies up to date going for-
ward.

the Clubhouse and most
specifically the womens
locker room, he said. She
was an instrumental part of
the house and grounds
committee and served as to
this day the only female
Board member. Peg was
known as the matriarch of
womens golf at Glenmaura
National Golf Club. She
was the first Glenmaura
Womens Golf Association
(WGA) chairwoman and
the 1997 womens club
champion. She was an asset
to every future WGA chair-
woman, as they would al-
ways come to her for ad-
vice which she freely dis-
pelled.
Although she was un-
able to attend, Mrs. Fletch-
er received a huge ovation
from the membership at the
Founders Ball held last
September
where the
original
Board mem-
bers and
founders of
the Club
were honor-
ed.
She was
also a mem-
ber of the
Parliamen-
tary Law
Club and
served as
President of
the Ladies
Auxiliary of
the Lacka-
wanna Country Medical
Society.
According to Rotarian
Warren Watkins, she served
as a host for the Rotary
Club of the Abingtons ex-
change student program
and was presented with
their prestigious four-way
test award given to local
citizens for outstanding
community service. Wat-
kins was also a member of
the Clarks Summit borough
council when Fletcher took
over as mayor.
She was the first woman
mayor in NEPA and took
the job without knowing
anything about it, but she
jumped right in and had the
knowledge to make it
work, he said. She
worked very hard and at-
tended numerous seminars
to learn what it takes to be
a mayor. She worked very
closely with the police de-
partment and did a great
job. She left a great image
in terms of being the first
women mayor and we
havent had another once
since.
Watkins remembers the
positive attitude that
Fletcher possessed at all
times.
She was a lot of fun to
work with, he said. She
was always upbeat and had
a smile on her face. Noth-
ing ever got her down.
Current borough council-
man Herman Johnson was
a new part-time police offi-
cer in Clarks Summit when
Fletcher
served as
mayor.
Peggie
was a peo-
ple person,
Johnson
said. She
liked people
and they
liked her. It
was the
easiest thing
in the world
to talk to
her because
she was also
a good lis-
tener and
eager to
help.
According to Johnson, it
was a pleasure serving un-
der Fletcher.
Peggie was management
oriented and took her job
to heart, often wearing var-
ious hats during her daily
routine with the Clarks
Summit Borough Police
Department, he said. She
let us know that our safety
was of great importance to
her and the community, and
that we could always ap-
proach her when we needed
her guidance.
Johnson added that
Fletcher had a deep love
for her family.
When you got to know
her as I did, it was plain to
see that her children were
everything to her, he said.
She liked to tell family
stories about them and her
husband Dr. James OCon-
nor, and his many accom-
plishments.
Peggie had eight chil-
dren, James J. OConnor
III, MD.; Jeffrey D. OCon-
nor, Patricia Devine, Mau-
reen Minora, Karen OCon-
ner, Susan OConnor, Erin
McManamon, and Ellen
Conde. She also had 21
grandchildren and five
great grandchildren. She is
survived by John A. Fletch-
er, whom she married in
1999. Her first husband of
42 years, James J. OCon-
nor, Jr., MD, died in 1995.
MAYOR
She worked very
closely with the police
department and did a
great job. She left a
great image in terms of
being the first women
mayor.
