KIDS Club: fun on
an elementary level
Nate Steenbeck creates a LEGO structure.
By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE
rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
Once the bell rings to signal the end
of the school day, it can be diffcult for
some parents to fnd a safe place until
they return home from work for their
children to stay.
Members of the Clarks Summit El-
ementary PTA(Parent Teachers Associa-
tion) felt there was a need for supervised
activities at the school and worked
quickly to fll the void.
The after school program derived
from many parents asking for other pro-
grams and activities to be offered after
school, Clarks Summit Elementary PTA
President Lisette Kozar said. Many
parents were wanting to have a program
where their kids could go to a safe place
to play, socialize and have fun with their
peers. Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Michael Mahon, other Abington person-
nel, and Principal Kevin Rogan, Cathy
Wickenheiser, Amanda ODell and my-
self coordinated all of our efforts and put
the program together in a matter of just
a few months. With all the support of the
parents, we were able to pull it off.
ODell was thrilled to be a part of the
new program.
One of the other local schools,
Waverly Elementary, has an after-school
program called Club Waverly, she
said. My daughter, Madeline, is a kin-
dergartner here so I thought, being a new
parent, that it would be great to have a
program in our school as well, Amanda
ODell said.
The club currently offers Zumba and
checkers on Wednesdays and art and
LEGOs on Thursdays from 3 to 4:15
p.m. There are 90-100 students involved
within the four activities this year. The
cost is $25 per activity.
They all have been equally as
popular, Kozar said. They all flled
out within the frst three minutes that we
opened up our signups.
The organizers had to curtail the num-
ber of participants due to high demand.
We limited it to about 20 to 25 kids
per activity and once we reached that
number, we closed off registration for
the current year, Kozar said.
The club will likely have several new
activities added next year.
Were talking about doing yoga, an
etiquette class, possibly Spanish and
American sign language and bowling,
Kozar said.
Kozar has been pleased with the suc-
cess of the club in its inaugural year.
This is our frst run through so we
didnt really know what to expect, but

ton Heights Business Manager
James Mirabelli presented the
school board with a draft for a
proposed $45,507,083 bud-
get for the 2013-14 school

years old and in third grade, after
beginning dance lessons, she came home
and told her mother she had decided she
was going to be a dancer.
Now 68, the Clarks Green resident plans
to retire this month after a 50-year career
teaching that very art.
Saying good-bye is never easy, she
wrote in a farewell message to past and
present students. I have been teaching
dance since I was 18, this season marks
50 years of doing what I have always
loved, and this has made my professional
life very rewarding. I have been blessed
by teaching, knowing and loving so

CLARKS
SUMMIT-
Two borough
council mem-
bers are vying
to be the
new mayor
of Clarks
Summit after
Mayor Harry
Kelly declined
to run for
another term.
Herman
Johnson and
Patty Lawler,
both demo-
crats, have
thrown their
hats into the
ring to lead
one of the
largest munici-
palities in the
Abington area.
Both candi-
dates expressed
a desire to
connect with
Clarks Sum-
mits youth and
elderly popula-
tion and make
the mayoral role a more public
role.
I want people to know who
their mayor is, Lawler said.
Johnson echoed that senti-
ment, adding that the mayors
role is to act as a liaison
between council and the police
department.
Johnson, a Vietnam veteran,
has focused his campaign on
ensuring that residents feel safe
in the borough. He touted his
30 years in law enforcement
and emergency management,
including chief of security
operations at Tobyhanna Army
Depot, as important assets he
would bring to bear if he were
elected.
Johnson said he would focus
on getting out to the public
and letting them know that our
police department is there to
help, he said
To that end, he said he would
institute programs such as bike
safety for the youth, keeping
seniors educated on new scams
and seat belt checks to ensure
driver safety.

S. Abington completes
wave of agressive
driving campaign
By AliAh RosemAn
Abington Journal Correspondent
Between March 18 and April 28 the South Abington
Police Department completed Wave 1 of an aggressive
driving campaign, according to Offcer Henry Zimmer.
Agrant from National Highway Safety Traffc Admin-
istration entails the department to put different details
together to prevent aggressive driving, ranging from
speeding violations, reckless driving and careless driving
in highly traveled areas.
National Highway Safety Traffc Administration was
established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 and is
dedicated to achieving the highest standards of excel-
lence in motor vehicle and highway safety, according
to its website nhtsa.org.The $1,600 grant allowed four
offcers to enforce a traffc enforcement zones operation.
Aproblem with our department especially, a police
offcer is supposed to go out and enforce traffc, but
there are times when you cant because of the volume of
calls coming in. So, on these specifc details, when you
have that extra money to bring in a few guys, they are
out there and their specifc assignment is to enforce traf-
fc laws, said Offcer Henry Zimmer.
During wave 1, 143 drivers were pulled over. Of those
contacts, one seat belt violation was issued; 88 speeding
citations, nothing under 20 mph over the speed limit in
a 35 zone was issued; four obedience to traffc control
device, no points assessed to license, which is anything
from speed limit signs ignored; two suspended opera-
tors, 27 verbal warnings, 28 issued warnings, one drug
arrest and one arrest for a felony warrant.
Abuckle up program will be administered between

director upon Cassandra Devines retirement and
Kira Coviello, who is a professional performer.
My mom has touched so many young peoples
lives, said Jaclene Devine. She has taught all of
us who danced with her not just about dance but
about confdence, poise, grace and a dedication
to hard work: Life lessons that we will all carry
throughout our lives.
Cassandra Devine said after deciding to be a
dancer, as she grew older, she continued work-
ing toward that goal. She spent a summer at the
American Ballet Theater School in NewYork
City, then continued studying under her mentor,
area dance teacher Constance Reynolds. Next, she
studied from Queens University, Ontario, Canada,
in preparation for the exams at the Royal Academy
of Ballet, London, England, where she later passed
the exams and became a member.
At age 18, she opened her frst two dance
schoolsone in Dalton and one in Moscow. In
1965, she was married and moved to Parsippany,
N.J., where she taught dance for nine years. She
then moved to Florida, where she taught at Pine
Crest School in Fort Lauderdale.
She returned to the area in 1976 and has now
taught dance in Waverly for 37 years.
This career has been very rewarding to me in
many ways, she said. Im one of the lucky people
who found something they love and earned a living
doing it.
She said one of the best aspects of teaching
dance is watching the children progress from little
three-year-olds to lovely men and women, many of
whom have careers in dance.
But even those who dont have a career in
dance, she added, feel they have gained grace,
poise and confdence.
She said her studio, Devine School of Dance,
located in the Waverly Community House, cur-
rently has about 125 families enrolled. About 200
of those students will perform in her fnal recitals
May 18 at 7:30 p.m. and May 19 at 2 p.m. in the
Abington Heights High School Auditorium. The
performances, titled Silver Screen Spectacular,
are open to the public and tickets will be available
at the doors.
The teacher said she hopes to welcome back
many previous students to the recitals.
Six of her eight grandchildren and three great-
nieces will offer a tribute performance in her honor
during the recitals. Grandsons Zach Smith, 14,
Carson Smith, 11 and Avery Smith, 9, will play So
Long, Farewell from The Sound of Music, on
the cello, viola and violin. Dancing to the music
will be granddaughters Molly Devine, 9, Clare
Devine, 8, and Grace Devine, 5, along with great
nieces Skylar Conway, 13, Chloe Conway, 9 and
Olivia Conway, 4.
She said she is proud of all her students, includ-
ing her family.
I am especially proud to leave you with my
talented daughter, Jackie, she wrote in the farewell
message, who has worked by my side for the last
30 years, frst as my demonstrator, then as an in-
structor, and fnally as my partner in this enterprise.
It is not every parent who has the satisfaction of
seeing her lifes work continue with ones off-
spring; in thisas in my whole charmed careerI
am one of the lucky ones!
This recital, she continued, as my fnal
production, is, of course, bittersweet. To all my
students, past and present, I will hold the joys that
you have given me in my heart forever.

C.S. council
tables assault
rifes for
police vehicles
By AliAh RosemAn
Abington Journal Correspondent
CLARKS SUMMIT-At the
May 1 Clarks Summit borough
council meeting, the council
tabled buying three assault rifes
to be installed in the vehicles.
Im trained to qualify every-
one, Chief Joseph Laguzzi.
Councilman Herman Johnson
asked, The only question I
have, is do we have money for
it, seeing as it wasnt budgeted?
I have no problem, I support
that 100 percent. But do we
have enough money in our
fnances for it?
That is a big issue, because
we didnt budget, Council
President Gerrie Carey said.
The money was not bud-
geted. But weve also had some
income this year that was not
budgeted. So the question is,
how do you want to allocate
this? Borough Manager Vir-
ginia Kehoe said.
The assault rifes would cost
about $4,000.
Well, back to the question.
Like I said before I have no
problem with this but I think
this should be tabled and pro-
posed to the fnance committee
to see if we can afford this,
Johnson said.
Johnson questioned the
legalities of using funds raised
through recycling efforts for
this purpose. I would feel more
comfortable if we researched
this.
Laguzzi said in light of the
national events in the past few
months, he wants the police
force to have every opportunity
to prepare.
I agree, this past year it just
seems like no one was expect-
ing the Boston incident, the
Sandy Hook, its just getting
close to home. That is the rea-
son we are doing all this extra
training and trying to be pre-
pared. Im not saying something
is going to happen here and I
hope it never does, I just want
my guys to be ready, Laguzzi
said. If we can do it great, Id
appreciate it but I understand
the fnancial aspects.
I will put this in front of
the fnance committee, Kehoe
said.
The motion was tabled and
will be revisited during the May
5 meeting.
In other business, Council-
man David Jenkins made the
motion to appoint Joe Krott
as the new EMA. Councilman
Dominic Scott seconded the
motion.
Council approved the installa-
tion of a 40 -gallon water tank
in borough chambers. The tank,
which offers hot water, will
cost under $1,000. Building and
plants line item of the budget
will fund it.
During Earth Day, $1,500
was raised in sponsorship.
Alicia Vogels frst grade class
at Clarks Summit Elementary
School is the recycling champ
of 2013. Among the items col-
lected: more than 100 medicine
bottles, 52 bulbs, 12 pounds of
ink cartridges and 20 pounds of
batteries.
Council approved:
* resolution 2013-08 records
destruction,
* resolution 2013-09 Route 6
Byway,
* resolution 2013-10 meter
suspension for Abington Busi-
ness and Professional Asso-
ciation Customer Appreciation
Day.
Steuart Bailey came before
the council on behalf of the
VFW Post. He sought clarifca-
tion on sewage billing and how
much the group should pay as a
nonproft organization.
Kehoe explained the calcula-
tions of the bar and dining area
at the VFW on behalf of Patrick
Lavelle, an engineer, with
whom she meet earlier. Lavelle
measured square footage of
the dining area to determine its
capacity and gallons per day of
water required.
Roy Davis was absent from
the meeting.
Second Friday featured artist Leon Viera enjoys painting
every day images.
Pleasant to view
Clarks Summit artist,
Leon Vieria is 60 years
young and enjoys paint-
ing pictures that are
pleasant to view.
Every day images that
are easy to enjoy, Vieria
added. He paints using
oils as his medium and is
the featured artist at the
Clarks Summit Second
Friday Art Walk on May
10 at Weezies Corner,
116 Depot Street.
He started drawing
when he was seven-years-
old, and as an adult he has
pursued his art through
private and group lessons
with local artists.
Vieria said of his
collection of art he will
exhibit at the art walk, I
have no favorite, I like
them all. Sometimes Im
happier with the look of
one more than another but
I do like them all.
He has mostly ex-
hibited his art at Clarks
Summit Second Friday
Art Walk venues and has
done some commissioned
work.
In addition to fnding
Vierias art at Weezies
Corner, other participat-
ing venues include A1

Cast puts in hard knocks
By Joan Mead-Matsui
Abington Journal Correspondent
Approximately 60 Our
Lady of Peace School stu-
dents will take the stage as
cast members in the schools
production of Annie Jr.
May 10 and 11, at Clarks
Summit Elementary School,
Grove Street.
Michael OMalley, Our
Lady of Peace School music
teacher described the sto-
ryline: Annie is an orphan
in NewYork City and she
is waiting for her parents to
come back to get her at the
orphanage.
She runs away from the
orphanage because of how
mean Miss Hannigan is to all
of the orphans.
Miss Hannigan will be
played by eighth grade
student, Mary Graff, who
said, The casting is really
well done and everyone fts
their roles theyre portraying
as singers, actors and danc-
ers. Its really great to see
everybody in the cast work
together to make something
as special as this production.
Elisa Yanni, sixth grade,
will portray an orphan who
acts mean.
Im mad my parents left
me, said Yanni.
OMalley who began
working at the second in
September 2012, said, Im
looking forward to everyone
doing a great job. They (the
actors) are really good in
their roles and what they do.
The actors at the Clarks
Green school have been re-
hearsing since January when
auditions were held for 6th,
7th and 8th grade students.
Shea Quinn, 7th grade, said
the cast has been working to
portray their roles.
No one really has a bad
attitude about whether they
have a big or small part and
they all contributeTheyve
been working really, really
hard and I cant wait to see
it. Acting and working with
everyone as a big team is
fun
Carole Orr, a faculty
member is assisting with the
play with help fromAngela
DeLayo and Peggy Yanul.
Tickets are $8 for adults
and $5 for students and
OMalley said proceeds will
be used to start a fund to con-
tinue the music and theater
programs at the school.

When 10 -year -old Abi Reilley
from Nuangola was told she was
too young to volunteer on the farm
at Marleys Mission she didnt
give up. Abi decided she could still
help the Mission, a local non-proft
which uses equine therapy to treat
children and families who have ex-
perienced trauma, by creating and
selling her signature Treatz.
Abi, a ffth grader at Rice El-
ementary School, started riding this
past summer. Her mother Darlene
said,Abi has always loved animals
and has frequently visited and
brought treats to the local SPCA.
She really took to riding and when
I suggested she look into Marleys
Mission she was all over it.
Marleys Mission Volunteer Co-
ordinator, Tara Iona, was impressed
with Abi after reading her frst
email, Abi sent a note saying she
was a beginner rider, loved horses
and wanted to help abused chil-
dren. She offered to come out to
the farm to groom horses or muck
stalls. When I told her volunteers
needed to be 13 or older she said
she would be emailing me at 6
a.m. on her 13th birthday. It is very
unusual.
Abi plans hold a car wash and
run a lemonade stand this summer
to raise more money for the Mis-
sion. With a Capital Campaign in
progress to build a new home for
Marleys Mission in Newton Town-
ship this summer, her fundraising
efforts are timely.
Marleys Mission is a non-proft
organization that provides equine-
based therapy free of charge to
children and their families who
have experienced trauma. Equine-
Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) has
shown evidenced-based effcacy
in patients who have experienced
abuse and now suffer with depres-
sion, anxiety and other symptoms
as a result of abuse.

MONOGRAM
If we choose to not fll three
teaching positions at the el-
ementary school, we anticipate
the class size to increase to ap-
proximately 26 students across
a grade level in all schools,
likely second grade Mahon
said. The cuts would save ap-
proximately $320,000.
The implications would be
greater demands on the teach-
ing staff, less individualiza-
tion and access to classroom
activities, Mahon added. The
most signifcant challenge is
that how we teach is very dif-
ferent than back in the day. We
have become, by choice and
necessity, much more inclusive
of special education students in
our regular education class-
rooms. Increasing class sizes
has a particularly impactful
effect on classes that involve
students with special needs.
In light of all that, given
what were facing, I think its
fair for the board to seriously
consider eliminating the three
elementary positions.
There is one English vacan-
cy at the high school. Mahon
believes electives and class
sizes would likely remain
largely unaffected.
Mahon added the if the
position is not flled, the dis-
trict was save approximately
$105,000.
There is one vacancy of an
Math/Science teacher at the
Abington Heights Middle
School. According to Mahon,
the average class size ranges
from 24 to 28 and if the posi-
tion is eliminated, class sizes
would be pushed to near 30.
Through the very strong ef-
forts from Dr. Quinn, Mr. Elia
and others of restructuring how
we teach, by eliminating this
position we would take some
signifcant steps back with all
the training for the delivery of
instruction. I think it would be
unwise to eliminate the posi-
tion.
There is also a vacant coun-
selor position at the middle
school.
The role of counselors
is growing, Mahon said.
They provide critical support
to students at risk and with
special needs. I think it would
be unwise the eliminate the
position.
Mahan added that if the
position is not flled, the dis-
trict would likely think about
eliminating crisis counseling
at the high school and move
someone to the middle school.
According to Mahon, since
the 2009-10 school year, 40
positions in the district have
been eliminated, for a savings
of $3 million.
Mirabelli reported that a
maximum tax increase of 1.97
mils would increase revenue
by $445,000.
Amill is $1 for every $1,000
in average assessed property
value.
Raising taxes wont solve
the problem, we have to work
to lower pension costs, Vice
President WilliamAcker said.
We cant not do everything
we can in all aspects of the
budget. Otherwise, down the
road, we will be out of op-
tions.
Board member Michele
Tierney suggested the possibil-
ity of starting a foundation to
coincide with the AEIO.
The Abington Heights AEIO
program recently received a
check for $62,000 from The
Community Foundation of the
Endless Mountains.
The conversation started
with the EIO to partner with
the district to start more fund-
raising for not only enhancing
the education side, but also
allowing for other entities,
such as athletics and to allow
alumni the opportunity to
donate, Tierney said. I just
want to plant the seed and I
would really like to sit down
with the business offce and
use this as the beginning step
of incredible revenue.
My vision is to take our
AEIO Development Director,
Tom McHugh, and use him
district wide.
According to Mirabelli, the
business offce sent out second
notices to tax payers who had
not paid their tax bill as of
Nov. 15. Starting on Dec. 1,
those will outstanding bills
would receive a 10 percent
penalty.
As a result, our tax col-
lection rate went from 92.9
percent to a high of 94.6
percent, he said. This is im-
portant because if you applied
that number to the prior year,
we would have taken in an ad-
ditional $359,000.
Vice President Warren Acker
reported that the Facilities
Committee reviewed bids on
proposals for a consultant for
the pool, tennis court and felds
projects.
The committees view
in both cases was to look at
which consultant was going
to give us the best price given
the unknown situation, Acker
said. We really need to ex-
plore the options, so we looked
for a consultant that had a lot
of experience in the feld and
would be able to give us the
best answers and hopefully put
together bid packages.
The board voted 8-1 to
authorize administration to
engage Architerra, P.C. to pro-
vide engineering and architec-
tural services for the purpose
of repair and/or replacement
of athletic facilities including
tennis courts, track and athletic
felds.
The board voted 9-0 to
authorize administration to en-
gage Aquatic Facility Design,
Inc. to provide engineering
and architectural services for
the study and upgrade of the
Abington Heights High School
natatorium for $25,300.

the kids are so excited about
it, she said. You can hear
them talking about it during
the school day. And I know the
parents appreciate it too, be-
cause some are struggling with
fnding something for their
kids to do right after school.
Kozar believes the camara-
derie between the student is a
key advantage.
They get to interact with
not just kids in their grade,
but also in older grades, she
said. I think the socializa-
tion is a big component of the
program.
Kozar enjoys seeing the joy
on the childrens faces while
they are participating in the
program.
Just seeing the kids laugh-
ing and smiling, and getting
along with one another, Ko-
zar said. I think thats great
and its something fun for
them to do with their friends.
ODell has received a lot of
positive feedback from parents
whose children are in the pro-
gram and disappointment from
those who missed the cutoff.
One of the most rewarding
things for me to see is how
excited the parents were, she
said. Ive gotten calls after
it was closed and I would use
the word devastation that their
child couldnt get in. It feels
like this should have been in
place years ago.
We couldnt have done
this without all the parents
who volunteer because you
cant have 30 kids with one
teacher, you need parents here,
especially at this age, to help
supervise.
There are 8 to 10 regular
volunteers and they had no
problem rounding up willing
helpers.
Weve got a lot of eager
beavers, Kozar said.
Art volunteer Jennifer La-
Belle jumped at the chance to
help out with their program.
It was a great opportunity
to volunteer and be with the
kids, she said.
Her daughter, Cara, a
fourth-grader, is a member of
the club. She enjoys learning
about art and really likes paint-
ing, Jennifer LaBelle said.
Second-grader Sydney
Degnon enjoyed getting some
fresh air while creating a
picture.
I like to look at nature and
do all kinds of fun staff, she
said.

to be evaluated at Child Study
Team, New Jersey. They said
John was developmentally
delayed and was placed in a
multi-handicap preschool class.
Between the ages of 3 and 4,
John was still nonverbal, so his
mother started communicating
with him through sign lan-
guage. When John was about
6, his signs started to change to
words.
Music became a big part
of Johns life and remains so.
Kathleen would constantly
sing to him and used music
as a form of communication.
Music has followed the now 21
year-old: he is a member of the
Pacifc Ballet Theater with a
deep passion for Broadway.
He is a senior at Marywood
University and participates
in the Student On-Campus
Achieving Results.
Early advocacy
In 1997, when Kathleen
Walsh and her family moved
to this area, she said there
was very little opportunity
for inclusion. My frst IEP
(individual education program)
meeting, I asked why John
wasnt getting music, gym and
art and they said it was because
he had autism and they didnt
get those things. That is what
made me launch PLCTAand
start advocating for better op-
portunities. It wasnt an easy
road, Walsh said.
It took 10 years of advocacy
to get John what he needed.
Aparent has to fght very
hard for those (an educational
aid TSS worker). It doesnt
come natural. Aschool district
doesnt say Lets give him
an educational aid, lets give
him occupational therapy three
times a week, speech four
times a week. Its not the way
it works. The parents has to
educate, know their rights and
ask for the support the child
needs.
One thing you learn when
youre child has any disability.
You must be educated and you
must advocate, Walsh said.
Parents Loving Children
Through Autism has three
goals. First, it provides sup-
port and encouragement for
families raising children with
autism. Second, education. The
group hosts meetings, work-
shops and training to bring the
latest information available to
families. Third, PLCTApro-
vides a place where each child
will be accepted, according to
its website plcta.org.
Kathleen Walsh raised two
other children, a daughter,
Samantha Milliken, 23, and a
stepson, Kevin, 38.
John role modeled after
Samantha, who acted as a mini
teacher, said their mother.
I couldnt ask for better
siblings for him. They are his
biggest cheerleaders, she said.
The mom of three said the
most diffcult aspect of a mom
raising a child with autism is
making her other children feel
as important and as loved as
their brother, who required so
much attention.
She feels that their brothers
autism has made Samantha and
Kevin more compassionate.
When you live it, you know
it, you understand it, Kathleen
Walsh said about her family.
Changing lives
She offered advice to parents
of special needs children, The
day you fnd out your child
has a disability of any nature
will appear to be the worst day
of your life. But with hope
and love anything is possible.
There are many others that
have experienced and learned
that you make new dreams
for your child. Each milestone
your child reaches will help
you through the hard days.
Achild with autism has
made Walsh more courageous
to stand up and take on people
in power.
I dont wish, I inspire.
of Waverly, was always doing
things with her children as they
grew.
Wittmanns example inspires
Holgate in her own life. She is
now 34 and married to Jason
Holgate, 40. The South Abing-
ton Twp. couple have three
girls of their own: Paige, 7,
Ayla, 6 and Violet, 2. The fam-
ily also owns fve cats, three
horses and a dog.
Holgate said one of the best
things about being a mom is
sharing with her girls the ac-
tivities she did with her mother
when she was a girl.
Together, one of their favor-
ites is hiking in the many state
parks in Pa. and N.Y., such as
Ricketts Glen, Salt Springs,
Saratoga Springs, Promised
Land (which they especially
enjoy because of the lake
beach where they can play in
the sand and swim), Van Saun
and Harriman.
They also enjoy riding their
horses, taking Taekwondo
lessons together and attending
community events, such as
the Vacation Bible School at
Clarks Green United Methodist
Church, dances at the Abing-
ton Heights Civic League, the
Clarks Summit Festival of Ice,
the Fall Festival at Heritage
Baptist Church and various
childrens camps and activities.
The girls also enjoy spend-
ing time with their father, who
takes them to fshing derbies
and coaches their soccer teams
in the Abington Youth Soccer
League.
Carlie Holgate has worked at
the Abington Veterinary Center
as a veterinary assistant for the
last 12 years.
With such a busy schedule,
one may wonder how she does
it all.
Time is my biggest enemy,
she said, and keeping every-
one going in the right direction
can be diffcult.
She feels she is usually pre-
pared, however, and tries not to
make things harder for herself
by being unprepared. Her
advice to other busy mothers
and new or expecting moth-
ers is Dont panicit will all
work out. Have patience and
trust yourself and all will fall
into place.
She said the advice from her
mother, Youll know what
to do. Dont worry, always
helped her, especially right
before her frst child was born.
She said the joys, however,
outweigh the trials.
Im extremely lucky to be
a mom and have three girls.
Theyre great kids, she said,
adding they help her, rarely
complain and enjoy the same
things she does.

Revenue focus of C.S. Council race
Scott Cruciani Bennett Klein Carey
Stability on council a
focus among candidates
By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE
rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
The high volume of recent
turnover within the Clarks
Green Borough Council is a
major issue among candidates
vying for the positions.
Democrat Alan F. Hughes
was appointed and has began
serving council in January
2012. Hes most proud of the
councils ability to make a
seamless transition for han-
dling the collection of sewer
bills in-house.
We migrated the collec-
tion of sewer bills from the
Pennsylvania American Water
to collection in- house. It was
a very complicated transi-
tion for a small borough. The
credit goes to former fnance
chair Jill Shanrock, who
unfortunately had to resign in
July 2012.
Hughes was then appointed
as fnance chair and was
pleased to be able to work
well together with council
member Lynne Earley on
crafting the 2013 budget.
Hughes hopes that Clarks
Green continues to be able
to support the Abington Area
Joint Recreation Board.
The Abington Area Com-
munity Park and new turf
feld are great for folks of all
ages to enjoy, he said.
Democrat David J. Rinaldi
was appointed to council in
August 2012. He is most
proud of the fact the council
was able to hold the line on
taxes on last years budget,
due to a $3,000 surplus from
the previous year.
Rinaldi is
hoping for
consistency
within the
Council dur-
ing the next
term.
There had
been a lot of
resignations
on council and
that was one
of the reasons
I applied, he
said. One
of things I
conveyed in
the interview
process was
that I wanted Council to have
some stability.
Repulican Joe Barrasse
currently serves on the
Clarks Green Zoning Board
and would also like to see
more stability on the coun-
cil. Barrasse is also opposed
to several recent proposals,
including putting a bike path
on Fairview Road.
I think it would be a death
trap for some children, he
said. That proposal prompted
me to become more heavily
involved.
According to Barrasse, he
is familiar with many of the
council members and believes
they can accomplish some
good things down the road.
I could care less if they are
Democrats or Republicans,
but we cant have 50 percent
of council changing every
year or two, he said.
Barresse
Rinaldi
The three republican candi-
dates running for one two-year
unexpired term on Clarks Sum-
mit Council agree on at least
one point: The borough needs to
generate additional income.
Dominic Scott, who was
unanimously appointed June 26,
2012 to fll the seat after the res-
ignation of former councilman
Donald Moyer, is up against
previous council member Robert
Bennett, who resigned in 2009
to accept a job with the U.S.
Census Bureau and M. Vincent
Cruciani, a land representative at
Williams and owner of Washing-
ton Healthcare Billing, LLC.
Scott said hes been a Clarks
Summit resident since age eight
and graduated from Clarks Sum-
mit High School. Hes a Korean
War veteran and active member
of several community organiza-
tions, such as the VFW Post
7069, Our Lady of the Snows
Church, Knights of Columbus,
Catholic Social Services, Friends
of the Abington Commu-
nity Library, Rotary Club of the
Abingtons and more.
He said he serves as Council
Chairman of the Civil Service,
Finance and a member of the
Personnel and Union Negotia-
tion Committee, and believes the
most important issue facing the
borough is its limited fnances.
The Finance Committee
builds a budget and all items
are discussed, he said. Each
expenditure is reviewed. We are
constantly looking for additional
sources of revenue. We applied
for and received a Grant from
the state for a new police car.
Advertisements will be available
for sale on our police and DPW
cars and trucks.
Scott added he also donates
his council pay back to the com-
munity.
Bennett is a Vietnam War
veteran and an active member in

mAyor
He said he would work to
ensure that departments like the
police, the Department of Public
Works and fre department work
hand in hand to protect the
borough in times of emergency.
He added that he wants to low-
er taxes, make sure the borough
budget is sound and institute an
open door policy so residents
can go straight to the mayor with
any concerns.
Lawlers plan is to focus on
commerce. She vowed to work
toward the creation of a chamber
of commerce for Clarks Summit
merchants.
Lawler, a retired school
teacher and a business owner
and TV show host, wants to help
the businesses in the borough
band together and offer incen-
tives to shop there, including a
senior discount day a few times
a year.
In addition, she hopes to
continue programs like the
boroughs Earth Day celebra-
tion to foster a stronger sense of
community. She said she would
continue her efforts to make the
borough more sustainable with
recycling programs.
Were a small town, only 1.9
square miles and 5,000 people,
she said explaining that it would
be easy to bring the community
closer together.
Lawler added that she intends
to keep taxes low and ensure that
borough residents feel safe.

the community, including orga-
nizations such as Odyssey of the
Mind, Knights of Columbus and
VFW Post 7069.
He also agreed on the impor-
tance of taking care of borough
fnances, and said the way to do
so is not by cutting things out
of the budget, but looking for
ways to better stretch the funds
that are available and bring in
additional revenue.
There is a way in which you
can better spend your money,
he explained.Its not that any-
thing is being done wrong; The
question is, can we do the same
with less expenses?
He gave an example from
when he was previously on
Council and helped save money
by negotiating a better deal on
an insurance contract. An-
other example he gave involved
exposed gas lines that he was
able to persuade the company to
place bars around for safety at
no expense to the borough.
Cruciani, the youngest of the
candidates at age 30, said he
represents a new generation of
leadership that will bring fresh
ideas and a new perspective to
the borough.
I plan to use my education
and experience in negotiations,
business and law, he said, to
diligently review all issues that
come before the council in an
effort to avoid short-sighted
decisions and create a lasting
prosperity for the borough. I
will always favor the interests of
the borough taxpayer over the
special interests of a few.
He echoed Scotts and Ben-
netts concerns for the borough
fnances, stating, the most im-
portant issue facing our borough
is remaining fnancially solvent.
This is especially diffcult,
he said, because of the debt we
incurred through poor decision
making over the last decade. We
need to rigorously pursue paying
off this debt without creating a
further burden on law-abiding
taxpayers.
One way he plans to accom-
plish this, he said, is by making
the effort to collect revenue from
delinquent taxpayers.
Cruciani added another issue
of concern to him is homeowner
rights.
We must also address the
series of unnecessary regula-
tions that have been placed on
the people of the borough, he
said, particularly on residential
property owners. While safety
concerns must be considered,
we must not unduly restrict the
rights of the homeowner.

council terms are democrat

Jim Klein; democrat Patrick
Williams, current councilman;
Bennett and Cruciani.
Carey, 70, was born and raised
in Clarks Summit, living the
past 47 years on Gladiola Drive,
where she and her husband
raised four children, Hutch,
Mary Ellen Berry, Rick, Colleen
and fve grandchildren. She has
served on Council for four terms
from Vice President to President.
She said she enjoys working
with our devoted council mem-
bers on numerous projects and
issues, seeing them to comple-
tion.
Carey
discussed the
current state of
the borough,
Our borough
is made up of a
large percent-
age Senior
Citizens, who
we respect
their fxed income. Our Earned
Income Tax, due to the economy,
has been decreasing, thus leav-
ing us with the only option to
brainstorm and fnd new sources
of revenue, while keeping our
services in place. Raising taxes
is never an option. We have been
very successful with J.P. Mas-
caro, in securing our garbage
contract with no increases, and
our new single stream recycling,
which has almost doubled for
recycable revenue. That is due
to all our conscientious resi-
dents good efforts in getting our
tonnage up, bringing in more
revenue.
Klein, 72, resides in Clarks
Summit, where he has lived for
almost 40 years, with his wife,
Elizabeth. They are members
of the Our Lady of the Snows
parish, and raised their children,
Kathleen and Christopher, in the
Borough.
After teaching at Manhat-
tan College, Iona College, and
Fordham, he accepted a position
at the Penn State Worthington
Scranton Campus. He retired
from Penn State after 36 years
of service and currently holds
professor emeritus status at Penn
State. He said, It was a pleasure
to work with the students and
teachers in our community in
their science endeavors.
He and his wife are serve on
the board of the Friends of the
Abington Community Library
and various Friends committees.
Clarks Summit is a wonder-
ful community, and I would be
proud to serve our community
as a member of the borough
council.

Erica Rogler
To quote Aldo Leopold from
his book ASand County
Almanac, There are some
who can live without wild
things and some who cannot.
These essays are the delights
and dilemmas of one who can-
not. Little did he know that
his writings, published after
his death, would shape how
we view conservation policy,
science and land ethics today.
Over two million copies of A
Sand County Almanac have
been printed and it has been
translated into twelve lan-
guages.
Tonight, May 8 at 7 p.m.,
please join us for a book
discussion on ASand County
Almanac at the Tunkhannock
Public Library. Bob Daniels
will facilitate this free discus-
sion. Then Saturday, May 11
at 11 a.m., we will be show-
ing the documentary Green
Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land
Ethic For Our Time at the
Dietrich. AQ &Awill follow
the flm and you will have the
opportunity to visit environ-
mental organizations displays
in the theater lobby after the
movie. Admission is free. Tick-
ets will be available by calling
570.996.1500 or at the door
while they last.
Then Wednesday, May 15 at
7 p.m., we will present a movie
and book discussion at the
Tunkhannock Public Library
on Green Fire and ASand
County Almanac. This discus-
sion will be facilitated by Dr.
Peter Petokas of Lycoming
College. This is my frst time
reading ASand County Al-
manac and I am awed by how
poetic it is and how relevant it
is to today.
Speaking of poetic writing,
the Dietrich will be present-
ing Shakespeares Romeo &
Juliet live on stage Sunday,
May 19 at 3 p.m. Come see
an 80-minute original text
adaptation of this classic love
story performed by the Gamut
Theatre Group of Harrisburg.
Following the show, the actors
will stay for a talk back session
with the audience. This will be
the sixth year the Gamut The-
atre Group will be performing
for us in Tunkhannock. Admis-
sion is free. Tickets are avail-
able by calling 570.996.1500
or at the Dietrich ticket booth

Under the Sea
The classic under the sea adventure, The Little
Mermaid Jr., is set to be performed May 17 and 18 in
Tunkhannock. The Wyoming County Players Junior
Players and Little Hams will be performing this spring
musical at Whipple Performing Arts Studio and will
include a cast with much variety. Students from six local
school districts, including home schoolers, ranging in
age between 6 and 19, will be included in the cast.
The Little Mermaid Jr. follows the classic Disney
story of a mermaid, Ariel, played by Jackie Clark, who
lives under the sea with her father, King Triton. Ariel
strives to know what life is like up on land, and after an
evil deal with an octopus, Ursula, played by Amanda
Hirschler, Ariel travels to the top of the ocean to satisfy
her curiosity. While on land, Ariel meets a handsome
man, Prince Eric, played by 19 -year -old Eddie Bau-
meister, who is the frst human that she meets out of the
ocean. Ariels popular undersea friends will also
make an appear- ance in the play to follow her
on her jour- ney, including Sebastian
the crab, played by George So-
beck, Flounder the fsh,
played by Amelia
Comly and Scuttle the seagull, played by Jenna Saxe.
Guests will enjoy being part of the underwater world
when they enter the studio, said choreographer Kim
Whipple about the upcoming performance.
The studio has decided upon The Little Mermaid Jr.
after the response of a previous performance in the local
area. We had done The Little Mermaid for the Lacka-
wanna Trail Elementary Center years ago when they had
a successful drama club and the kids really enjoyed it,
said Whipple.
Directed by Ron Whipple, the performance features
actors with varied experience, from those making their
frst debut on stage to performance veterans who are
moving onto college-level theater. The spring musical
showcases the students talent for singing by includ-
ing popular songs from the movie, such as Kiss the
Girl and Part of Your World. In addition to learning
the songs for the performance, the cast had to spend a
signifcant amount of time rehearsing to learn dance
steps and choreography to animate the story. The cast
has been practicing since early April for the show, said
Kim Whipple.
Both days of the performance will take place at 7
p.m. as well as a 2 p.m. matinee May 18. Tickets for
the performance are $8 for general admission, children
5 and under are free. Whipple Performing Arts Studio
is located at 602 Hunter Highway, Suite 20, in
Tunkhannock. Tickets can be purchased at the
door and more information can be found by call-
ing 570.836.6986 or visiting www.wyoming-

Gallery, 122 South Main St.,
Wilkes-Barre, from May 10
through July 6. An opening
reception will be held May 10
at the gallery from 5 to 8 p.m.
Kuratnicks work exists in
the balance between sculpture
and function. Coming from
a family of stonemasons,
experiencing their materials,
ultimately led Kuratnick to his
creative development. As a
ceramic artist with a focus on
creating fuid forms, intuitive
mark-making has led motion
and rhythm to visually com-
mand his work, along with his
obligation to allow the ebb and
fow of his personal experi-
ences to physically manifest.
For Lick, the simplicity
and ease of digital format has
made photography much more
interesting and has enhanced
the uniqueness of her work.
It allows her to express her
creativity through the eye of
the camera and to show oth-
ers, her eclectic views of the
world.
Korutz- Killian is an
educator, holistic healer,
painter, jeweler, fber artist
and world traveler. She invests
her mixed-medium visual
creations with a masterful
authority that simultane-
ously inhabits the corporeal
while addressing the spiritual.
Informed by and infused with
a sense of wonder and esoteric
knowledge harvested through
the years from her experi-
ences, Korutz-Killians works
translate these experiences
into a tactilely disparate array
of imagery.
This bowl, created by Jeff
Kuratnick, of Clarks Summit,
will be featured in the upcoming
For the Senses exhibit at
Marquis Art and Frame, Second
Floor Gallery, 122 South Main
St., Wilkes-Barre, May 10
through July 6.
