SOUTHABINGTONTWP.
- South Abington Township
joined Clarks Summit Borough
in backing the Abington Re-
gional Wastewater Authoritys
(ARWA) financing for its up-
coming renovation project.
Township supervisors adopt-
ed two resolutions at a Feb. 11
meeting which guaranteed the
authoritys payments on loans
to fund the authoritys massive
overhaul project, which is ex-
pected to cost substantially
less than the $30 to $35 mil-
lion figure the authoritys offi-
cials originally cited.
The resolutions will allowthe
authority to proceed with secu-
ring funding for the projects,
but the authority will seek final
approval for the debt at a later
date after gaining approval for
the loans fromthe state, Dono-
hue said.
You dont guarantee it until
the closing (of the loans),
Donohue said.
The township, which is the
most populous in the greater
Abington area, would back 55
percent of the loans, propor-
tionate with the townships
stake in the authority. The au-
thority is currently ironing out
the details on a $19 million loan
froma consortiumof local
banks, which offered a better
deal than the national bonding
companies, Donohue said. A
$10 million loan fromthe state
and a $1million state grant are
already part of the projects
funding package.
The one nice thing is we
gave it to a local bank here,
supervisor Giles Stanton said.
The money stays in town.

n a little grey house on the outskirts of town,
the American dreamis alive. Jolanta Kacz-
marczyk, a Polish immigrant who escaped a
communist regime in the height of its power to
make a newlife, has finally set up shop.
Her gift with needle and thread became clear
when she was a child in Poland.
I always loved to sew, Jolanta explained as she
sat in her sunny shop, surrounded by machines
and supplies of her trade, the fireplace behind her
warming up the space.
First, I would make clothing for my dolls. My
aunt was a professional seamstress and she taught
me. She made all of our clothes. As a teenager in
Poland back then, you couldnt get nice clothes,
so I made my own.
As newlyweds, she and husband Mirek talked
about moving to America. They were afraid that
the conditions in their native land would never
change. They explored the idea of a vacation in
the U.S. to see what it was like, but the communist
regime forbade themfromtraveling here together.
In1981they planned a fake vacation to Italy, a
destination they did not plan to reach. The couple
got off of the train in Vienna, Austria and went
straight to the U.S. embassy. After

FACTORYVILLE - At
the Lackawanna Trail
School District board meet-
ing Feb. 11, Superintendent
Matthew Rakauskas dis-
cussed district action to
sustain safety and security
to avoid an incident like
the one that occurred at
Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Connecticut last
year. He mentioned that
local and state police have
been patrolling the outside
of the school buildings.
Overfield Township
(Overfield Township Police
Department) has been won-
derful, said Rakauskas.
They worked at the ele-
mentary center at a random
basis trying to get the level
of comfort with the stu-
dents at a higher level.
Rakauskas added that the
high school established a
relationship with the
Wyoming County Juvenile
Probation in the last 12 or
13 years, specifically a fe-
male probation officer who
works with students on
probation.
We are looking at ex-
panding the role with
Probation by looking at a
contract, said Rakauskas.
Rakauskas introduced two
guests at the meeting: Di-
rector of the Wyoming
County Emergency Man-
agement Agency Gene
Dziak and Wyoming Coun-
ty Commissioner Thomas
Henry. Dziak spoke on the

Like some superheroes soar through the sky at
lightning speed, one local student models detailed
superhero replicas fromclay at an impressive
speed of about five minutes per sculpture.
Jake Fruehan, 18, an Abington Heights High
School student of Clarks Summit, uses his unique
artistic gift to create intricate sculptures. Simply
using his hands and occasionally a small carving
stick, Fruehan is able to transforma solid ball of
clay into a detailed masterpiece.
One of Fruehans teachers, Mari Hendershot,
who handles Autistic Support, explained howthis
hobby has proven to be very beneficial for her
student, Its a big stress reliever for Jake, she
said.
Fruehan has been perfecting his skills since age
3. It all began when Fruehans mother Debbie
gave hima ball of clay to play with in church and
the creativity continued fromthere. Nowin high
school, the artist has created everything from
animals to Peter Pan to some of his favorite super-
heroes.
Although most of these models are made from
memory based on favorite movie characters and
books, Fruehan occasionally uses different tactics
to help himcreate, I look at pictures sometimes.
Clay modeling is still Fruehans favorite form
of art, but he recently branched out and tried a
fewnewmediums. The young artist is able to
practice these newforms of art at school, includ-
ing drawing and ceramics.
Fruehan explained the method he used to create
his most recent model and favorite superhero,
Captain America. Different shades of clay are
added to make the superheros colorful uniform,
and every detail fromhis face to his fingers are
carefully constructed. Fruehan shared his favorite
part about his Captain America model, His
shield and uniform.

Some of Fruehans most recent models include Thor
and his hammer, an alligator with an intricate scale
design and a detailed ape.

Lakeland Elementary names Students of the Month
A
local universitys trav-
el course to Uganda
turned into something
more when two members of a
Clarks Green church joined
forces.
Both St. Gregorys Church
parishioners and University
of Scranton professors, Da-
niel Haggerty and Catherine
Lovecchio brought their stu-
dents to the East African
nation to study its Christian
heritage and perform relief
work with the financial back-
ing of contributions from the
Clarks Green parish.
St. Gregorys parishioner
Daniel Haggerty, who serves
as philosophy professor and
director of the SJLA honors
program at the university,
made the trip in 2011 with a
number of his students. As
part of the trip, the group of
students and faculty conduct-
ed missions work, like build-
ing houses or providing food
and supplies to hospitals and
schools.
Haggerty enlisted the help
of St. Gregorys parishioners
for his return trip last month.
As a member of the churchs
pastoral council, Haggerty
asked Rev. John Lapera, the
churchs pastor, for help.
Father Lapera enthusi-
astically embraced the idea,
recognizing that our parish
could help, Haggerty said.
Haggerty also approached
Lovecchio, a nursing profes-
sor at the university and a St.
Gregorys parishioner, to
bring the nursing department
students and faculty on the
trip.
Dr. Haggerty approached
me one day after church,
Lovecchio said. He asked
would I ever be interested in
going to Africa with the
Christianity course.
Haggerty wanted to get St.
Gregorys parishioners in-
volved. After four university
students who had made the
Uganda trip last year made an
appeal to St. Gregorys par-
ishioners one weekend in
December 2012, the group
collected thousands of dollars
that would be used to help the
Ugandans.
In one month, the parish
raised about $6,000, includ-
ing three laptop computers,
Haggerty said.
This personal invitation
for support made all the dif-
ference in the world, said
Lapera of the groundswell of
support for the missions trip.
The money and equipment,
which included school sup-
plies, was directed to St. Jo-
sephs Nkoni Secondary
School, a boarding school in
Masaka, Uganda.
When the university stu-
dents and faculty visited St.
Josephs, they worked on
repair of the schools facil-
ities, including a shower.
Haggerty said he was struck
by the students there, describ-
ing them as profoundly
grateful.
When the kids are there,
theres a lot of joy, a lot of
enthusiasm, Haggerty said.
The group presented a chance
for the students to escape
poverty and begin to con-
tribute to society and the
common good.
A contingent of nursing
students assisted at the Bwin-
di Community Hospital, an
Anglican hospital founded by
Dr. Scott Kellermann and his
wife, Carol, of the Keller-
mann Foundation.
The Scranton nursing stu-
dents presented the Bwindi
nursing students with medical
equipment. Each stethoscope
had a note of encouragement
attached, Lovecchio said.
It was really fortuitous
because theyre in the process
of building a nursing school,
Haggerty said of the nursing
students visit.
Lovecchio had performed
research to see how she and
her students could best serve
the Ugandans. The countrys
healthcare challenges differ
from those in the U.S., she
said. Diseases like malaria
and yellow fever are rampant
in that region, for example.
Lovecchio was at a nursing
conference when a chance
encounter led to a donation.
I went over to one ven-
dorI dont know why it
came up, she said. The ven-
dor asked her, Any chance
youre going on any missions
trips this year? My company
would like to donate stetho-
scopes.
The company gave Love-
cchio 50 new stethoscopes
and 10 blood pressure cuffs,
which would normally cost
approximately $5,000, Love-
cchio said.
Lovecchio said the experi-
ence affected the college
students.
In the end, I think the two
groups really complemented
each other, she said of her
nursing students and the
SJLA students. They think
on a different level than they
did before.
Parishioners and others
were able to track the trips
progress on a Facebook page:
St. Gregorys Church - Ugan-
dan Ministry. Haggerty and
Lovecchio uploaded photos
and updates as the trip pro-
gressed.
I believe our parish family
has a great respect for the
gospel notion of charity in
terms of extending gifts of
time, talent and treasure to
members of our global com-
munity in need, Lapera said.
The church and university
communities plan to keep in
contact with the Ugandans
and help in the future. The
nursing department plans to
teach classes via the Internet
in the coming weeks, Love-
cchio said.
Theyre really bright peo-
ple, she said. The just dont
have the resources we have.
St. Gregorys Church, for
its part, will continue sup-
port, Lapera said.
We definitely want to
continue support and will
direct a portion of this years
Lenten almsgiving to the
school, Lapera said. We
envision over a period of
time to develop a greater
relationship with the African
community.
Lovecchio mused about the
trip and the people she met.
When it comes down to it,
were all just human beings,
she said. The human spirit is
the same no matter what your
conditions are. We all have
love, suffering and joy.

O
rganizers of Relay For
Life would like to get the
word out to the communi-
ty: The event is in the works and
nowis the perfect time to get
teams ready.
Relay For Life, organized in
partnership with the American
Cancer Society, is a fundraiser for
the American Cancer Society, to
be held at Abington Heights High
School, 222 Noble Rd, Clarks
Summit, June 8 to 9.
The teamof organizers is com-
prised of students fromlocal
schools, including Scranton Pre-
paratory School, Lackawanna
Trail and Abington Heights high
schools. Kaitlyn Davis, Scranton
Preparatory School is chair and
Melanie Fricchione and Ronnie
Kochmer, Abington Heights High
School, are co-chairs. Students
organize the event and organiza-
tions and companies are invited to
participate. Teams are usually10 to
15 people.
According to the Relay For Life
website, the event is an overnight
community fundraising walk,
where teams camp out around a
track and members take turns
walking around the track. The
event represents the darkness and
light of the life of someone who
struggles with cancer.
We raise money for the Amer-
ican Cancer Society to help people
who are suffering with cancer,
said Kochmer.
Davis, who has been a member
of the committee for four years,
said, Whats cool about Relay
(For Life) is that we end up with at
least
400
participants every
year, and you have
all those
peo-
ple
coming together for one cause to
fight cancer and raise money for
research. Its so moving to see
the Luminaria ceremony.
On the schedule is an opening
ceremony at 3 p.m., survivor
dinner at 5:30 p.m. and a Lumi-
naria ceremony at 9 p.m. Lumi-
naria candles can be purchased
in memory or in honor of loved
ones who have battled cancer.
Suggested donation is $10. Sur-
vivors and families are welcome
to attend the dinner, ceremony
or participate in the Relay event.
In 2012, 40 teams participated
and more than $35,000 was
raised. This year, the committee
has set a goal of 50 teams and
strives to raise $39,000. If they
reach their goal, they will have
raised $1million since the start
of the Abington Relay For Life.
Some teams plan individual
fundraisers, according to Davis,
We just had a dance for high
school kids, so that was an
event-like fundraiser that raised
money to go to the event. Teams
can also hold individual fun-
draisers like car washes, bake
salesthats usually howa lot of
teams do their fundraisers, and
also by asking for donations
fromfamily and friends.
Fricchione has already raised
more than $300 fromthe sale of
scarves for $8 and bracelets for
$3 she crafted fromT-shirts. She
got the idea fromthe social
media website, Pinterest. It
takes ten minutes to make one
and its so easy, said Fricchione.
The next teamcaptains meet-
ing is March17. To register a

CLARKS GREEN- This
months meeting of the
Abington Council of Gov-
ernments (ACOG) Feb. 7 at
the Clarks Green Borough
Building included a present-
ation by representatives from
the Abington Area Joint
Recreation Board concern-
ing more municipal involve-
ment with the board.
Mark Dougherty, South
Abington Township Super-
visor and member of the
Recreation Board, gave
background on municipal-
ities that currently participa-
te as members of the board:
Glenburn, Waverly, South
Abington townships and
Clarks Summit and Clarks
Green boroughs.
All the parks in the
Abington Area are for ev-
eryones enjoyment. Theres
no reason that others
shouldnt be able to join, he
said. He asked everyone to
return to their communities
and request involvement, if
their town is not already
involved, either as members
or even associate members.
The more participating
municipalities, the more
funding options and the
more grant options we
have. Dougherty added that
the board is not in favor of
raising funds by charging
park users a fee.
Bill Risse the Recreation
Board chair mentioned that
the various building projects
at the Abington Area Com-
munity Park are funded
through grants and fundrais-
ers, not municipal money.
Theres not a nickel of
municipal money in the
projects we rely on mu-
nicipal funding for everyday
maintenance. He also men-
tioned volunteer effort that
goes into funding projects,
such as the Dog Park con-
struction. Better parks in-
crease property values, he
added.
Dougherty said that com-
munities with their own
parks could get involved not
just to improve the Abington
Area Community Park, but
their own parks as well,
because of the joint re-
sources, such as grants and
fundraising.
Diane Vietz from the Rec-
reation Board mentioned the
upcoming summer Lakeside
Concert Series. The lake is
in a central location and
wed like to showcase it.
She added, We have five
good, local bands perform-
ing for free in the middle of
the week. Its an opportunity
for people to connect.

ACOG seeks
municipal
involvement
BY EMILY CULLEY
four months to process their
background checks, they were
granted asylum and allowed to
move to the U.S.
Language was a major bar-
rier for the young couple.
Mirek was unable to find
work in his profession as a
land surveyor, so they reached
out to SCOLA and a volunteer
was dispatched to their home
in West Scranton help them
learn English. After four years
of training, he was able to
begin working in his field. By
then, Jolanta was a seamstress
at the Globe Store in Scranton
and offered repairs and alter-
ations out of their home.
In the mid-1980s, the couple
welcomed a son and daughter.
After a few more years, Jolan-
ta and Mirek officially became
U.S. citizens. It was then the
seamstress started putting in
more hours at work.
We wanted them to have
every opportunity, Jolanta
said. I started waitressing at
Coopers. I would work dou-
bles, ten to 12- hour shifts. We
put the kids through Scranton
Prep and Penn State. Ive been
at Coopers for 21 years and it
has been a wonderful place to
work.
Daughter Karolina, 29, is an
architect in San Francisco
with the firm Bohlin, Cywin-
ski and Jackson and son Mat-
thew, 28, is a civil engineer
with McCormick Taylor in
Philadelphia. Four years ago,
Jolanta and her husband fur-
thered their dream by moving
to the greater Abington area.
I always loved Clarks Sum-
mit, she said. The little
shops, it feels European to me.
My favorite stores are Caravia
and Everything Natural. I just
love it here.
She opened shop on North
State Street just before Christ-
mas, 2012. It took time to find
the right space, she said, but
then a grey house with black
shutters came available.
In repairing an item, I dont
just patch, I think about a
solution that will be perfect. I
dont want any sign to exist
that there had been damage. I
am a perfectionist. I do for
people as I would like to have
done for me. For example, I
dont order zippers or things in
bulk beforehand. I custom
order for each job. I want it to
be the perfect match.
The seamstress smiled as
she looks around the room.
I am so happy to come
here in the morning. When
people come and I can help
them, I can improve their
appearance for the better. I
want to please the customer.
When the customer is happy, I
am happy. This is where I
want to be.

Celebrating Emergency
and First Responders is the
theme of the upcoming Tim-
mys Town Center HE-
ROES911Snowball 2013 to
be held Feb. 23, 5 to 7 p.m. at
The Commonwealth Med-
ical College (TCMC), 525
Pine Street, Scranton.
Timmys Town Center, an
Association of Childrens
Museums Member, is dedi-
cated to the creation and
operation of a Childrens
Museumin Northeast Penn-
sylvania in memory of Tim-
my Kelly who died of cancer
at age 5. The group has part-
nered with The Common-
wealth Medical College,
TCMC, in what Snowball
chair and third year medical
student, Cara Lyle said, is a
harmonious fulfillment of
both organizations mis-
sions.
The Snowball is Timmys
Town Centers annual event
intended to raise money for
Timmys Town Center, its
exhibits and its endeavors,
she said. TCMCis commit-
ted to providing a communi-
ty-based model of education
and among TCMCs values
are collaboration/generosity/
partnership, social responsib-
ility and community health.
Children are invited to
attend and take part in crafts
and activities that will in-
clude: *An Earful: learn
about ear anatomy and how
hearing works;
*Color Your Hero: work
on hero coloring pages or
drawtheir own heroes;
* DJ and dancing;
* face painting;
*Fire Truck Tour
* First Aid: learn to clean
and bandage a wound;
* FromHead to Toe: learn
the basic body parts and their
function;
* Hero Tales: storytime;
* Help color the Heroes
911mural;

sounds of the heart
* Wegmans Granola Bar:
receive a ticket to make gra-
nola mix.
Dinner will be provided by
Kildares Irish Pub and milk
and ice creamby Mannings
FarmDairy.
According to Lyle, the
theme makes great use of
TCMCs space by taking
advantage of the simulators,
like Harvey the heart sound
simulator, and the patient
examrooms. It also allows
the medical student volun-
teers to participate and edu-
cate the kids.
Committee members are
Lexie Kelly and Megan
Swann, Timmys Town Cen-
ter, and TCMCthird year
medical students Daniel
Gonzalez, Megan Gooch,
Aimee Janesky, Abhishek
Kumar, Karen Leeds, Cara

Pennsylvania Emergency
Management requires us to
be in schools and help de-
velop safe school pro-
grams, and we actually
report back on our progress
and how these plans are
going, said Dziak. Very
fortunately, Wyoming
County is small enough to
only have two school dis-
tricts; therefore, with our
staff, we were able to sup-
ply resources to both Lack-
awanna Trail and Tunk-
hannock Area to get in
here and really do some
good, safe school plan-
ning.
Dziak said that although
Sandy Hook Elementary
had safe school planning,
the incident still occurred
because someone broke
into the school.
What we need to be
looking at and what we
need to continue to do is
test our vulnerabilities in
our buildings, said Dziak.
Dziak said he consulted
with the State Police and is
touring Tunkhannock Area
School District. Captains
of Wyoming County Emer-
gency Management will
offer a lecture training of
the Run, Hide, Fight
philosophy. A team of
State Police officers from
Harrisburg and local law
enforcement will visit the
school as if there is an
active shooter. An individ-
ual will act as the shooter
and police will proceed.
They (the police) will
be using ammunition that
is a paint bullet, so you
will know gunfire sounds
like in school, said Dziak.
They (the students and
teachers) will see police
officers come through the
door on a search. It is real-
istic. It will give them op-
portunities to say Wait a
minute. Whats going on?
What do I need to do?
High school principal
John Rushefski said that
custodians, secretaries,
cafeteria workers and bus
drivers are the first line in
defense. Rakauskas an-
nounced to the board that
students will practice a
similar drill during a
March 13 tornado drill.
Commissioner Henry
said he attended the safety
meeting and was impressed
with the thought process.
I really feel that you
guys have a really great
team, he said.
Later in the meeting,
board member David
Thorne made a motion to
approve the contract be-
tween the Lackawanna
Trail School District and
Probation. The board ap-
proved.
Rakauskas said the juve-
nile probation officer will
continue to be a member of
the Student Assistant Pro-
gram and the Safe Schools
Committee and she will
interface with the adminis-
tration and faculty to assist
Lackawanna Trail students.
SECURITY
come into play if the authority
were to default on its loan pay-
ments. Abington Regional
Wastewater Authority officials
have assured municipal officials
that default is a remote prospect.
We will meet all our obliga-
tions, so that there is no possibil-
ity of default, said Michael
Donohue, attorney for the au-
thority.
Donohue added that the au-
thoritys debt would be self-
liquidating because the author-
ity would rely on revenue from
Abington Regional Wastewater
Authority municipalities
Clarks Green, Clarks Summit
and South Abingtonto pay
down the debt.
The authoritys overhaul pro-
ject will revamp and expand its
facilities to bring it into compli-
ance with newfederal mandates
for sewage treatment plants
whose treated water ends up in
the Chesapeake Bay.
In other business:
* The township successfully
renegotiated the terms of the
loan for its Township Building.
The township will nowpay a
lower interest rate on the12-
year-old loan, yielding a savings
in excess of $60,000 over the
life of the loan, according to
David ONeill, township man-
ager.
* The township is seeking
funding for its own sewage
infrastructure construction pro-
ject to replace a pump station
with a more cost-effective grav-
ity line near the South Abington
Community Park.

daughter, Taryn Comegys,
began second grade at Wa-
verly Elementary School, Perry though
it a shame that Taryns school didnt
have a chess club.
So she started her own.
The PTA very kindly sponsored
us, Perry said. And now we are fully
sponsored under the aus-
pices of the PTA after-
school program.
Membership in the club
has swelled to 25 members, requiring Perry
to enlist the help of Bruce Wisenburn and
Doug Clamp. Wisenburn is a nationally-
rated chess player who was the New En-
gland Regional Junior Champion in 1985.
Perry is preparing some of her top players
to compete in a Unites State Chess Feder-
ation tournament in Binghamton, N.Y., in
March.
These chess wunderkinds know chess
strategy and notation and will take on any-
one at the tournament, including unsuspect-
ing adults.

A Clarks Summit -born author returned to the area
Presidents Day weekend to present his most recent book,
Thanksgiving Breakfast. John Fitzgerald, now an Ohio
resident, wrote the book with his hometown in mind. Set
in the 1960s, Thanksgiving Breakfast captures the jour-
ney of a group of friends and their adventures while
growing up in Clarks Summit and eventually going their
separate ways to start their lives in other areas.
The title itself refers to a rivalry football game that
took place during Thanksgiving season. Fitzgerald de-
picted the meeting of his characters at a small restaurant
and pub called Eddie OConnors, now commonly rec-
ognized as State Street Grill. Fitzgerald explained how
the group of friends would patronize Shadowbrook in
Tunkhannock and also Eddie OConnors. The book nar-
rates the characters adventures including everything from
the anticipated football game to submerging a Jeep un-
derwater, causing a five-day recovery mission of the vehi-
cle.
Fitzgerald explained how he worked hard at describing
details that he remembers from the area, You really do get
a feeling for the community in this story.
After nearly four and a half years of creation of the book,
Thanksgiving Breakfast is available to the public to read
and possibly reminisce. Fitzgerald said to his future readers,
There are a lot of laughs and some tears. Also available
ABINGTON JOURNAL/ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
John Fitzgerald, formerly of Clarks Summit, recently published the
book Thanksgiving Breakfast, which takes readers on a journey
through the town in his earlier years.

ALL BUSINESS AT WORK
No-fault workers compensation directs employers to guarantee payments to workers
injured on the job while employees relinquish the right to sue employers for work-
related injuries. When workers suffer work-related injuries, they should notify their
employers as soon as possible and ask for a claim form to fll out. If the claim is ac-
cepted, benefts should commence promptly. If, on the other hand, the claim is partly
or completely denied, an employee can have it reviewed by the workers compensation
appeals board. Moreover, a worker can sue the workers compensation appeals board
if he or she does not agree with its decision and have the extent of his or her disability
and the amount of benefts decided in court.
If you have any questions about Workers Compensation, or about any aspect of
personal injury law, please call my offce. I amAmil M. Minora and I have years of
experience representing clients in a wide variety of personal injury cases, including
those dealing with Workers Compensation. I will work hard to make sure you get
the benefts you deserve. Call (570) 961-1616 to make an appointment today. My
address is 700 Vine St., Scranton. Im here to help.

HINT: Injured employees should have an attorney on their side if problems
arise in the processing of a workers compensation claim or if they plan to
appeal their claim.

Those who frequent
Browns Gym in Clarks Sum-
mit may be familiar with
fitness instructor Mary Am-
ico. Her personality has made
her a favorite in the group
fitness and spinning classes
for more than a decade. To
the masses who come to her
each day for encouragement,
she is both cheerleader and
friend. She comes to know
each of her students by name
and always finds something
positive to say to each one.
Even those not in her class-
es know Amico. Her voice
carries and she is not shy
about the motivation she is
shelling out.
You are strong! she yells
over the music to her class of
predominately middle-aged
women, at the toughest mo-
ments in the workout. People
come to her class to be
tortured into bikini shape, to
get rid of those ten holiday
pounds.
There are instructors at
Browns who compete in
body building competitions.
Others have won fitness com-
petitions. Their bodies are so
lean that the muscles ripple
beneath their skin.
To the contrary, Amico
used to show up to class with
a large light and sweet coffee
from Dunkin Donuts. She
was honest about needing to
detox after a particularly dec-
adent weekend. She motiva-
ted by being incredibly strong
and outlasting everyone with
the number of repetitions she
could do, but she was not up
on an pedestal of perfection.
Until now.
Students in her classes have
witnessed a transformation.
After a decade, a new woman
has emerged. At age 44 she
decided to take her fitness to
a new level.
2012 was a year of change
for me, Amico said. I had
some disturbing bloodwork
numbers. I had become ane-
mic. I was hearing more fre-
quent stories from friends and
clients at the gym about how
they or their husbands were
going on cholesterol meds
and high blood pressure
meds. Their sugar was high
and their triglycerides were
off, and so on and so on.
Some joked about weight
gain in their 40s by justifying
it with denial and saying,
Hey, if you find yourself
gaining weight, just buy big-
ger pants.
But this fitness instructor
said she knew that was not
even close to the truth.
I dont think the answer to
problems, especially about
your health, is to deny they
are happening. I knew I had
found myself in a vicious
cycle of being tired and
drinking caffeine throughout
the day to keep myself up. I
wasnt sleeping well because

Why would Jerry Vitale Jr.,
Kingston and his father, Jerry
Vitale Sr., spend an afternoon
outdoors on ice when the
temperature struggled to rise
above 20 degrees and the
wind chill whipped across
Lake Lackawanna at Lacka-
wanna State Park?
An affinity for the outdoors
is part of the attraction for
Vitale Jr.
I hunt, fish, you name it.
Im outside, said Vitale, who
gets out to ice fish a few
times a year. This gets me
out and away from work
While many people would
prefer to stay inside on a
wintry day, Feb. 17, Vitale
and his father braved the
cold, and were set up on the
lake with a Marcum VX-1P
Fishing Sonar System, or a
fish or depth finder,
which lets him know if the
fish are around; an auger,
rods, bait and other equip-
ment.
Im fairly new to ice fish-
ing. Every year I move up
with technology a little bit,
he said, referring to the fish
finder. Thats new for me
this year. It makes it (ice
fishing) a little easier.

I was wired at night from all
the caffeine. I tried everything
to break the cycle: melatonin
at night, more exercise during
the day and changes in diet
that I thought were healthy.
Working out eight hours a
week, eating 1,400 calories a
day and then only seeing a
meager weight loss was really
frustrating. I knew I needed to
seriously look at my diet.a-
nalyze everything I was eat-
ing and make some major
life changes.
She detailed a few of the
energy vampires she re-
moved from her life.
The first change I made
was eliminating as much
stress and negativity from my
life as possible. If you are left
feeling exhausted after being
around certain people, you
have found yourself prey to an
energy vampire. Dont ever
feel guilty for saving your
energy for yourself, your kids
or your spouse.
After making drastic chang-
es to her diet, including elim-
inating processed foods, keep-
ing sugar to a minimum and
cutting back alcohol con-
sumption, Amico said she
started to see real transforma-
tion.
My bloodwork came back
this year the best it has been
since I was 25 years old. I am
no longer anemic. I sleep at
least seven hours every night
and I dont have energy crash-
es in the afternoons anymore.
My clients at the gym tell me
my classes are harder than
ever. I will never go back to
eating white breads or flou-
rI stay away from processed
foods and fried foods. My
family doesnt eat out as much
as we used to. Cooking
healthy meals together is great
for all of us.
As a group fitness instruc-
tor for 20 years she told cli-
ents what matters most is
overall health. Now she can
say she focuses on that for
herself as well.
I wouldnt trade how I feel
now for anything. I would
never go back to how I felt
prior to 2013. I have learned
how to eat. Feeling healthy is
worth skipping the chocolate
cake 90 percent of the time.
Surrounding myself with
friends who celebrate my size
4- victory instead of sabotage
it, keeps me going.

On eating well: We all think we understand what eating well means, but
we dont. It wasnt until I eliminated processed foods from my diet, kept
sugar to a bare minimum and cut out alcohol to an extreme minimum
that I started to see real changes. My energy levels skyrocketed. I
detoxed myself from caffeine and sugar completely. I ate to fuel my body
and stopped counting calories. I didnt starve myself on 1200 to 1400
calories I didnt know how many calories I was eating, only that I was
eating a lot more protein and a lot less sugar. I ate more vegetables than
ever. I lost 20 pounds, and I attribute the reason my metabolism revived
itself not only because I eliminated stress and energy vampires from my
life, but from analyzing the benefit of every single thing I ate.
We dont realize that just about every moment of every day we are
tempted to eat poorly. There is sugar at every checkout line at the
grocery store. We are bombarded with dessert ads on TV and in
magazines, and just about every month of every year we are given
permission to eat poorly. Look at what is put in front of our face at
the holidays, football parties, Valentines Day, Easter, summer
barbecuesit goes on and on. Restaurant menus are generally killers for
your metabolism too. You can sit at most restaurants and eat over 2,000
calories in one meal without realizing it.
Fruits, vegetables and lean meats should be the staple of everyones diet.
From someone who works out vigorously 8 to 10 hours a week, I have
finally learned protein is your best friend and 80 percent of how your body
is going to shape itself is a result of diet.
If you are having energy crashes in the afternoon or if you find yourself
having a harder time with weight loss, you need to really evaluate your
relationship with those nasty processed foods. Sugar is a hidden
ingredient in so many of the things we eat.
I am not saying you can never have a glass of wine or a piece of pizza
again, but you need to really think about how much and how often you
are consuming these things while you are trying to improve your overall
health and lower your body fat percentage.
The father and son fishing
duo also enjoy spending time
together and can be found
fishing where the fish are
biting. Ill pretty much go
anywhere I can get them
(fish), he said. But the ice is
plentiful up here, so weve
headed up north
Regarding the species of
fish he would like to catch, he
quipped, Its a little too cold
for me to be particular.
Minnows, wax worms and
grubs are some of the bait he
typically uses and he recom-
mends a gas auger to help
break through the ice and
boots with cleats for better
footing on the ice.

testament to the important
work that Marleys Mission
does.
Among honorees were
Denise Vitali Burne, Berwyn,
formerly of Clarks Summit
and Keith Eckel, Newton
Township, recipients of the
Saddle of Hope award.
The theme of the 2013
centerpiece project which
featured art created by chil-
dren fromarea schools, orga-
nizations and groups, was
What Does a Forever Home
Mean to You?
It is reflecting the fact that
Marleys Mission has pur-
chased its forever home on a
beautiful 32.4-acre property
in Newton Township, ac-
cording to Wintermantel.
Among highlights were an
interactive mixed media piece
of artwork created at the Gala
coordinated by members of
the gala committee, Clarks
Summit artist Trinka Ravaioli
and NewMilford graphic
designer Maria Conigliaro.
For more information, visit
marleysmission.com.
According to Gene Taler-
ico, Esq., President, Marleys
Mission, Inc., This years
gala was, simply put, mag-
ical, said Talerico.
The Third Annual Blue
Ribbon Gala was held Feb.
16, at The Hilton Hotel and
Conference Center, Scranton.
He added, Fromthe in-
novative sustainable art pro-
ject of a horse called Hope
to the talented work of young
people fromOcchipinti
Dance Studio and Keystone
College, the evening was
truly inspiring. Each year the
Marleys Mission family
marvels at the incredible
support we receive fromour
community. This year, we
celebrate the building of our
future, our permanent home
in Newton Township. And
the cornerstone of the effort is
clearly the strength and sup-
port of our friends and neigh-
bors. My favorite part of the
gala is the infusion of young
people into the program.
More than 20 Junior Ambas-
sadors paid it forward and
dedicated their time and ener-
gy to make the evening a
success. They are our future.
And their presence and their
work inspire me.
Marleys Mission, a non-
profit organization, provides
Equine-Assisted therapy at
no cost to children and fam-
ilies who have experienced
trauma. It was founded by
April Loposky after her child
received assistance for trau-
ma through equine therapy.
Nearly 450 tickets were
sold for this years gala. Event
co-chair Gretchen Winter-
mantel said We are still
working on our final num-
bers, but I amthrilled to say
that we met, if not exceeded,
our fundraising goal. We are
very pleased with the turnout
for our Third Annual Blue
Ribbon Gala. This is truly a

I currently reside in Jermyn with my wife Barbara and several pets.
I started my career as a sales consultant 26 years ago. I have been with
the Gibbons family for the past 15 years and have been ranked in the top
600 Ford and Lincoln salespeople in the Nation for both sales volume and
customer satisfaction. My love and enjoyment outside of the automobile
industry comes from supporting and being involved with the Griffon Pond
Animal Shelter. I also enjoy animals of all kinds, ice shing, hunting and
avid fan of traveling to several NHRA drag racing events during the year.
