I have had the opportunity to champion hundreds of students in musical and academic achievements throughout the years and it never gets old, said teacher of the month, A l l i s o n Covell. As orchestra director and chair- Allison Koval person of the music department at Abington Heights High School, she fullls her passion for working with young adults and helping them grow academically, musically, emotionally and socially. It makes her job easier that shes dealing with extremely talented young adults. You have to constantly challenge them. No matter how difcult I make it; they do it. Theyre brilliant, Covell said. Covells career began with a Bachelors degree from Marywood University. She has a Masters degree in educational leadership with principle certication from Wilkes University. She is currently pursuing a second Masters degree from Wilkes University in educational technology. This is her 16th year teaching at Abington Heights High School. For this Wilkes-Barre resident, there have been too many moments of triumph to single any one out. She believes that at some point every teacher comes to realize he or she is empowering a student with knowledge and skills needed to become a productive member of society. I like to believe my students leave the classroom knowing theres someone outside the boundaries who cares and when a former student says they miss me or orchestra? Thats all I need to hear. We have had students who go on to some great careers even if outside of music. However, they continue to play,
PennDOTs Asphalt Recycling Program takes what otherwise may be waste materials from Interstate 81 and puts them to use on smaller and rural state roads. When the rocks arrive from construction sites to the departments processing site on Hillside Drive in Clarks Summit, they are first put through a grinder, then transferred to a pugmill (shown) which mixes them with oil, water and 2B stone. From there, the finished product is loaded into dump trucks and taken to the local construction sites, dumped into the paver and laid on the road.

Would-be waste materials from I-81 used to resurface local four-digit State Routes

Residents of Laurel Hill Road, Newton Twp., as well as several roads in Dalton, can now say they live on old Interstate 81. Pennsylvania Department of Transportations (PennDOT) Asphalt Recycling Program takes what may otherwise be waste materials from I-81 and puts them to use on four-digit State Routes with ATDs (average daily trafc) of 3,000 or less and limited truck trafc. The program, which began last year in Dalton with Lower Mill City Road, Bank Street, Wilbur Hill Road and Seminary Road, is scheduled to continue this year with Seamans Road in Factoryville and Clarkson Road in Fleetville, in addition to completion of the project on Laurel Hill Road, which connects with Forrest Acres Drive. The recycled asphalt, according to Tom Boland, Highway Foreman 2 working on the See MUSIC | 10 Laurel Hill Road project, costs the department only $13 to $16 a ton, as opposed to the cost of buying new materials at a maximum of about $60 a ton.
The chunks of asphalt are rst transported from construction sites on the highway to the departments stock pile on Hillside Drive in Clarks Summit (across from the Clarks Summit State Hospital). There, they are put through a grinder, then transferred to a pugmill, which mixes them with oil, water and 2B stone. Next, the nished product is loaded into dump trucks and taken to the local construction sites, dumped into pavers and laid on the road. Bill Angel stood with his dog and watched the last two steps of this process unfold July 25 in front of his driveway on Laurel Hill Road. The road was real patchy before. This is beautiful, he said, pointing to the area in front of his driveway. Angel said hes been waiting for the road to be repaired since he moved to the property in 2006. He used to watch drivers cautiously ease their way down the hill and around the curve because of the poor condition of the road, but he now suspects he may need to request a hidden driveway sign to slow them down. See RESURFACE | 10
PennDOT workers put down the second layer of recycled asphalt on the right lane of Laurel Hill Road, Newton Twp. Each layer is two-and-a-half inches thich and compresses to about one-and-three-quarters to two inches thick. Both layers get oiled when finished, and once the entire road is complete, it will be oiled and chipped.

William Scranton Jr., a former Pennsylvania governor, presidential candidate and ambassador to the United Nations, died at age 96. M i k e DeVanney, a family spokesperson, told the Associated P r e s s S c ra n t o n d i e d S u n d a y Former governor, night, July William Scranton, 28, of a cere- died Sunday bral hemorrhage at a retirement community in Montecito, Calif. Scranton was Pennslyvanias 38th governor, serving one term from 1963 to 1967. He had a home in Waverly, just outside the city named for his family. Clarks Summit Borough Council President Gerrie Fitzgerald Carey said she remembers Scranton from the mid-1960s when she was a girl growing up in Clarks Summit. Her brother, John Fitzgerald, attended school at that time at Bishop Hannon High School in Scranton, and would wait for the bus in the mornings at the corner of State and Grove streets. She said Scranton would often stop and say, Hop in! offering a ride to school. He was such a generous man, Carey said, generous with his time, talent and treasures. He was an extremely humble man. She added she is saddened to hear of his death, which she described as a great loss to the area. State Representative Sid Michaels Kavulich reected back on a speech Scranton delivered during the Clarks Summit Centennial Celebration in 2011. That individual day stands out, he said. When I heard him speak, I was just abbergasted. He needed assistance getting around, but when he got up and spoke, I was just so captivated. He was so sharp and eloquent. I was really in awe of him, and that speech has stayed with me. Kavulich believes Scrantons ability to cross party lines contributed to his grand stature in the area. So many people have such great respect and love for him, he said. He crossed all party lines. The moderately liberal Republican challenged conservative Berry Goldwater in 1964 during a brief, reluctant foray into presidential politics. Scranton committed to the campaign just a month before the national convention and lost the nomination to Goldwater by a four-to-one margin. He was appointed ambassador to the United Nations by President Gerald Ford in 1976 and served roughly 10 months in the post. Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason said, Bill Scranton, a veteran, U.S. Congressman, Pennsylvania Governor, presidential candidate and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was a dedicated public servant and a national gure in American politics. Following his retirement, Governor Scranton remained an important gure to the people of Pennsylvania and we cherish his contributions to our Commonwealth and country. We extend our deepest sympathies to Governor Scrantons family and our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with them. U.S. Senator Bob Casey described Scranton as an extraordinary public servant.

This years Race is set for downtown Scranton Sept. 21. We are very excited to have our inaugural First Friday fundraising event for the Komen NEPA Race in downtown Scranton. The Race for the Cure is certainly about uniting people to celebrate survivors and remember those who lost their battle, and to raise awareness about a disease that strikes one woman every three minutes. Each year our focus of the race event is truly about raising money necessary to fulll our goal of preventing breast cancer through education and early detection screenings to discover breast cancers in its earliest and most treatable stages and ultimately to nding the cures for breast cancer, said Dolly Woody, Komen NEPA Afliate Executive Director. The Hilton has been a generous partner and we look forward to more events with them during the upcoming Race season. Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, one promise became Susan G. Komen and launched the global breast cancer movement. Thanks to events like the Race for the Cure Series, Komen has invested almost $1.9 billion to fulll the promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries. For more information about Susan G. Komen, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN. Approximately 2.9 million breast cancer survivors are alive today in the United States more than any other type of cancer. Seventy-ve percent of net proceeds raised stay in Northeastern Pa. to fund local community education, early detection screening and treatment grants, while a minimum of 25 percent funds Komen National Research Grant Awards. The Komen NEPA Afliate serves 16 counties in the region, including: Carbon, Clinton, Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Monroe, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, Pike, Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming.

Love for ministering remains strong

Pastor William (Bill) Costanzo sits in his recliner in his room at Elan Gardens. His Bible is not far from his reach. He uses it to prepare for a weekly Bible class with other residents. A shelf holds books of commentaries. The Bible he used so many times at the pulpit is well worn and according to Bill has been recovered several times. One of 13 children of the late Louis and Sarah Costanzo, both Italian immigrants, Bill was born September 2, 1932 in Dunmore. All my brothers and sisters were born in the house. The doctor wanted my mother to go to the hospital when she was having me. She was there a week and I never came, so he

LINDA SCOTT sent her home. I was born at home like the rest of the family, he said. Naming a baby can be very difcult. The doctor asked the Costanzo parents what they wanted to name their son. Lots of names were used already. The doctor said Bills are due the rst of the month, so why not name him Bill? So the doctor named me Bill, he said with a chuckle. He attended Wheaton College in Illinois as a Bible Theology Major. After graduating, he went on to the Philadelphia Faith Theological Seminary to study to become a pastor. During this time, he became a student pastor in Duryea for three years. Every weekend I would drive to Philadelphia to Duryea and back, he said. His ministry took him far from his hometown of Dunmore. He taught at the Clearwater Christian College in Clearwater, Fla. From there, he became pastor of a church in Bristol, Tenn. for 20 years. They could not get rid of me, he said. His brothers and sisters needed help, so he returned to Pennsylvania. Bill is the husband of the late Susanna Costanzo and Dorothy Costanzo. He has several stepchildren and step grandchildren. Today, he belongs to the Reformed Baptist Church in Scranton. My friends pick me up on Sunday morning and Wednesday night to take me to church, he said. His love for ministering to others remains strong. When his voice is raspy he takes a spoonful of honey to soothe it. This is the voice you get standing on the pulpit and preaching and singing. On one Saturday, six residents were in attendance for the Bible class. The class is open to everyone and is non-denominational. People who are Roman Catholic and Jewish come, he said. The class is a half an hour and includes an opening prayer, followed by a scripture reading and discussion. This particular Saturday the discussion was on the Gospel of John. Jesus knows our hearts. He sees who we are. It does not matter if you are Polish, Irish or English. That is not the question. The Holy Spirit

comes into our hearts, he said. Bills days and weeks are lled by reading his Bible and
taking notes to share with his Bible class. His smile and joy are endless as he shares his love of being a pastor .

by either adding gravel or paving the lot, he said. According to Bill Weeks, township supervisor the recreation board cannot receive the grant directly and must apply through a municipality. Sandra Opshinsky is the grant writer for the city of Scranton. The application for the grant is applied for by Commonwealth Financing Authority and due by July 31, 2013. The application will be approved in the fall. The grant would improve the safety of children and pedestrations by improv-
ing the parking. The American with Disabilities Act will cover all aspects of the park, she said. The township supervisors voted and approved the application for the grant for the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board. In other business, township pothole patching and tree trimming is complete.

Local student inducted into Honor Society for first-year students

Diana Crowley, of Clarks Summit, was recently inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta, the honor society for first-year students, at Susquehanna University. Crowley, a rising sophomore majoring in biology, is a 2012 graduate of Abington Heights High School and the daughter of Trip and Michele Crowley. The purpose of this national honor society is to encourage superior scholastic attainment among students in their first year in institutions of higher education, to promote intelligent living and a continued high standard of learning, and to assist students in recognizing and developing meaningful goals for their unique roles in society. Eligible students must achieve a semester or cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher during their first year of full-time study without any grades of F, I, or U. The Susquehanna chapter was established in 1976. Crowley was also recently inducted into the Susquehanna University chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a coeducational service fraternity. The purpose of the fraternity is to assemble college students under the fellowship and principles of leadership, friendship and service to humanity. Members complete a minimum of 40 hours of service per year.
Local resident participates in Summer Scholars Program

While many college students have traded rigorous academic work for relaxing on the beach, South Abington Twp. resident Megan ODonnell will give up summer vacation to remain on campus at Saint Josephs University as a member of the Summer Scholars Program. ODonnell is one of 114 students who will engage in faculty-mentored research and creative projects at the University this summer. The program, which runs for 11 weeks from May until August, requires students to work exclusively with a faculty member to produce a written description of their research that will be published by the University, and to present their ndings next spring during the Celebration of Student Achievement event. For their work, students receive a stipend, on-campus housing, and the opportunity to participate in social and educational programs. Research topics range from local and national issues in the sciences, business, education and history to extended analysis of literature and ne arts. ODonnell, a Biology major, will work with Christina King Smith, Ph.D. on their topic, Identication of the localization of the RPE-65 Enzyme in teleost retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Claire is content to ekes out a living by painting go along with the deception meticulous reproductions of because she loves Isaac, but when he leaves her to return to his wife and refuses to tell MoMA that she painted 4D, Claire exposes him. Despite the fact that she convinces an art authority that the painting is her work, MoMA denies her claim. When Isaac later commits suicide, the resulting scandal makes Claire a persona non grata in the world of fine art. I wont go into detail about the present-day plot, except to say that it revolves around the actual unsolved theft in 1990 of 13 pieces of art from Bostons Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Aiden Markel, owner of a prestigious Boston gallery, mysteriously gets his hands on one of the stolen pieces and asks Claire to copy it so he can return the original to the museum and sell the copy as the real thing to an unwitting buyer. Although Claire understands it is perfectly legal to copy a painting, but illegal to sell that copy as the real thing, she makes a Faustian bargain with Aiden. She will replicate Degas After the Bath in return for a one-woman show in Aidens gallery. Ironically, Claire discovers the painting she is forging is itself a forgery. Thus, the plot thickens, and thickens, and thickens, until even I a very careful reader got confused and lost in its tangles. Meanwhile, just to add another element, Ms. Shapiro brings in the third plot strand, told in the form of a series of (fictitious) letters written by Isabella Stewart Gardner in the late 1800s to her (also fictitious) niece, Amelia. Mrs. Garner, better known as Belle, was, in real life, a piece of work. Not only was she an avid art collector who founded the museum that bears her name, she also achieved a sort of notoriety by walking two leashed lion cubs on the streets of Boston and wearing a headband emblazoned with Oh You Red Sox to the symphony. The letters detail her relationship with Degas and describe her modeling for one of his paintings. Eventually, the story Belle tells in her letters will have a bearing on the events in the present-day story. Although Ms. Shapiros intricate plotting sometimes stumbles, she doesnt put a foot wrong when it comes to her description of the process Claire uses to forge the Degas so perfectly that it will fool the authenticators. To me, this was the most enthralling part of the book. Clearly, Ms. Shapiro has done a prodigious amount of research and she uses what she has learned to let us in on the methods Claire uses to replicate the old painting, including baking her copy in what amounts to a pizza oven. I couldnt get enough of this behind-thescenes look at the work of a consummate forger. All this doesnt make Claire seem like a very nice person, yet I found myself liking her anyway. For one thing, its hard not to admire her passionate love of Degas and her exceptional talent. For another, she comes across as very intelligent; shes a great problem solver. Shes also pretty fearless and is doggedly determined to uncover the mystery behind the provenance of After the Bath. Although her decisions are sometimes morally ambiguous, at heart, shes a decent person who wants to tell the truth. The novels conclusion, which finds Claire having a wildly successful show at Markels gallery, may seem unrealistic. However, when I discussed the book with my daughter, an artist with a museum background, she assured me that Claires sudden rise to fame is precisely what happens in the art world. Once a prominent gallery owner or art collector endorses a more or less unknown artist, everyone else jumps on the bandwagon, eager to get a slice of the pie. Thus, ironically, the two forgeries Claire commits have very different outcomes. Although her reputation is horribly tarnished by the 4D scandal, she is essentially rewarded for participating in the Degas hoax. The Art Forger really made me think about how readily we tend to see what we expect or want to see, and also about the moral ambiguity of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. Ms. Shapiro also reveals the lengths people will go to protect their reputations and to achieve their desires. In my mind, any book that entertains me, while making me think hard, is well worth reading.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. Supervisor Giles Stanton asked attorney Michael Donohue, general council to the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority, about the recent inltration at the waste water treatment plant during the July 22 meeting of the South Abington Township Supervisors. During a heavy rain storm at the end of June, the treatment plant could not handle the heavy volume and 72,000 gallons of sewage owed into Leggets Creek, he said. The bypass can only hold so much water. There are ve ow meters in different areas and they are checked on a daily basis. The meters measure the levels of inltration. This was the rst overow in 20 months at the plant, said David ONeill, South Abington township manager. The sewer system serves Clarks Summit, Clarks Green and South Abington Township. Donahue said he will take the Supervisors concerns back to the board members of the Abington Regional Wastewater Authority for further review.

From page 1 which is fantastic, said Covell. Covells professional life has revolved around a eld of study she believes in and loves. She said the best part is the dedication of her students. They inspire me on a daily basis. Im blessed to have such strong students who are achievement oriented. Another up side of her career is that orchestra is an elective, so students sign up because they want to be there. She feels like she has a little bubble in the music department. The most difcult part of her job is challenging her students by throwing professional repartee at them all 130 who make up the symphony orchestra. When Covell is not teaching, she is busy with Mark, her husband of six years and their four-year-old son, Aiden. But she nds time to take classes. Regarding her nomination as Teacher of the Month, Covell said she is touched that someone would appreciate what goes into being an orchestra director and that she has made a difference in someones life. An upcoming event she is excited about is the Abington Heights High School Honors Orchestra performance with Marywood University in April 2014 for a combined concert with Dr. Nat Parker and the Marywood Orchestra. All in all, for this teacher, life is good, and she sees only an even brighter future for herself and her students. Covell resides in WilkesBarre.
Resurface
From page 1 James May, PennDOT spokesperson, said the program benets not only the department, but the taxpayers and the environment, as it recycles materials which previously ended up in landlls, costing a fraction of the amount it would if the materials were purchased elsewhere. By recycling asphalt from Interstate 81 and putting it down on the roads here in the Abingtons, he said, we are able to improve roads that we otherwise couldnt have improved due to funding. The Recycled Asphalt Program is not only good for the environment, but it is a scally wise thing for us to be doing. In addition, the close proximity of the stockpile to the roads where the asphalt is laid decreases the hauling expenses of the material. On a full production day, according to Thomas Harris, operator B, 1,000 tons of asphalt can be processed at the stock pile and laid on the road. A tandem axle truck holds at about 16 tons of asphalt. The trucks run in a constant cycle transporting the materials to the road and returning to the stock pile for more as fast as it is produced by the machines.

Scranton
From page 1 tion and with honor. As a Congressman and as Governor, he prioritized education, economic development and job creation. When he left office after four years as Governor, Pennsylvanias unemployment rate was one of the lowest ever. Long after he left public office, he continued to devote his considerable skills and energy to helping and promoting Northeastern Pennsylvania and serving the nation in significant appointments that focused on difficult domestic and international issues. Patty Lawler, Clarks Summit Borough council member and current mayoral candidate, described Scranton as a quintessential gentleman. He was very involved with everything outside of himself, she said, very involved with making the quality of life better for everyone. She said she always admired Scranton for his many leadership qualities and she desires to be like him as a person. She reminisced of a time when, as a young woman in her 30s, she heard him give a speech which resonated with her about how during the Great Depression, his family started a community trust for the average Joe to meet various needs in the community. She said she remembers him saying that was one of his favorite parts about being a Scranton. That community trust later developed into the Scranton Area Foundation, which today holds and manages a variety of funds from individuals, organizations and corporations, using the gifts to respond to community needs and opportunities in fields such as health, education, arts, environment, human services, and civic affairs. Lawler said she recently sent a note to Scranton explaining an idea she had to honor him in the Borough of Clarks Summit. I wanted to commemorate him as a person, she said. A letter arrived shortly after, however, from Scrantons secretary saying he was honored at the thought, but declined to be immortalized. He always remained very humble, Lawler said.

We could not have asked for a better River Day. From the weather to the crowds that came out to enjoy Riverside Park to the activities to the music, it was wonderful. The day started out with more than 30 kayakers joining David Buck from Endless Mountain Outfitters for a Erica River Float from Rogler Mehoopany to Riverside Park. Contributing Columnist Then Barbara Tierney led a relaxing yet energizing yoga class on the riverbank. By 1 p.m. the main event had begun with informative displays by environmental organization and wonderful wares and food items for sale by farm and food vendors. High Energy Fitness and Karate also entertained us with an informative karate demonstration. It was amazing to see what young students learned from their classes. Then the live music began. Sadie Green Sales Jugband regaled us with toe-tapping jugband tunes. I especially enjoyed seeing students from the Dietrichs Jammin in a Jugband classes join David Driskell and Timothy Walker on stage to play Momma Dont Allow and Let Your Imagination Lead the Way. By 3 p.m., folks were able to meet and learn about animals from the Ross Park Zoo Mobile including a chinchilla and an armadillo. Little ones enjoyed getting their faces painted by Silly Sally and receiving fun balloon creations provided by Allys Air. Children also explored the arts as they painted a mural with Dietrich Theater artists-in-residence Amy and Steve Colley. For those interested in taking part in nature explorations, Jerry Skinner taught children and adults about dragonflies and Bob Daniels gave a presentation on river critters. We would like to thank everyone who helped make River Day a success from the volunteers to the environmental organizations to the Riverside Park Commission to G & B Tents and to the Overlook Estate Foundation for sponsoring the event. Looking to August, we have a couple of free offerings coming up. On Monday and Tuesday, August 5 and 6, the theater will host free dance workshops with Judy Weist of Stage Door Dance Studio. During these classes students will learn about rhythm and movement as they explore the world of dance. Classes will be offered for children ages 2 to 9 year. Please call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500 for the class schedule and to register. We will also be offering free Introduction to Yoga classes for adults at the theater in August.

Smiley Face Productions to present debut Couch: The Musical

JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
Stop by the Clarks Summit Borough Building Aug. 1, 2 and 3 at 7 p.m. to get a dose of witty banter, laughter and original music as members of Smiley Face Productions debut, Couch: The Musical, based on a book written by Zack Peercy, featuring music by Madeline and Natalie Belknap. And the only real set piece theatergoers will nd at this performance is a very comfortable brown leather couch. We have some desks and a table for other parts (of the performance), but its mostly the brown couch. Thats the big one, said Peercy. Regarding the storyline, explained Peercy, It is very hard to describe a musical called Couch: The Musical. Its really difcult to try to tell people what its about, so we use the tagline on the poster, Its about love, friendship and a very comfortable brown couch. That says it all once you see it. The project began approximately one year ago, noted Peercy. It has been a yearlong process. As soon as I nished the script, I passed it along to the Belknaps, (twins, Natalie and Madeline) who have been writing the music for the last year and as of yesterday,
From left: John Glinsky, camera man; Sal Bulzoni, young Nicholas; Zack Peercy, writer; and Alec Gerchman, Nick Asher.
(July 23) its all done, he said. The three of us came up with the idea together I wrote the book (the original script) in approximately a week and it has
been changed a lot since then. Now its actually good. See THEATER | 12
Local comedian fired up about performing

ARIELLE KOVALICH
Local business owner Al Trovato by day and comedian Johnny V by night, the 46-year-old Dickson City resident is making some local appearances this summer. Although being a comedian is more of a hobby at the moment, Johnny V explained how he balances being both a comedian and business owner, Even though I am very busy, I still nd time to do as many shows as I can, he continued, I very rarely turn anything down. He was introduced to the world of stand-up comedy through a friend who was also beginning stand-up, and was suggested to attended open mic night at Wise Crackers Comedy Club. The comedian, who performed July 26 in the Abingtons, will take the stage at Genettis in Dickson City Aug. 3 with doors open at 7:30 and the show beginning at 9 p.m. I went down the rst week and it went over really well, said Johnny V on his rst appearance at the club, I really loved doing it, and just kept going and continued writing material. He has been going strong as a comedian for nearly four years since. In order to gather inspiration for a show, for which he writes all the material, Johnny V explained his tactics,
I get inspired by every day things; I take everyday situations and turn them into material. He added, Theres humor in just about everything Johnny V doesnt take an assumed traditional approach when creating material for a show, as he said, I never sit down and say, Im gonna write about something in particular. It just comes to me. I could be in the supermarket and see or hear something that I nd funny, and put my own twist on it, said Johnny V on the spontaneity of an idea. To prepare for a show, he has also created a ritual, including playing some Slipknot, Slayer or similar music on the ride to the venue. About a half hour before I go on, I like to be left alone, he said, I walk around a lot and get my self ready to perform; I dont get nervous, I just get myself red up. Johnny V revealed that the best aspect of being a comedian is the performance, I love nothing more than when I am on the stage, and its always a bonus when the crowd enjoys it as much as me. When asking what he aspires to build up to as a comedian, Johnny V set his The comedian Johnny V, who performed July 26 in the goals to the West, My dream gig is to Abingtons, will take the stage at Genettis in Dickson City on Aug. 3. some day perform in Las Vegas.

Patsels owner Patricia Atkins comes to the rescue of the Everhart Museum in Scranton as she opens her restaurant to raise money and keep the museum in good standing. Funding has been cut at the museum, so to keep one of the jewels of Scranton open, I decided to host this event to help them out, Atkins said about the purpose of the fundraiser, Hats Off to the Everhart. Everhart Museum
Executive Director Cara Sutherland said that due to general funding cuts in recent years the museum has become more entrepreneurial in its approach to hosting creative fund raising. Some of those efforts are initiated by the museum but this event is Atkins brainchild. The Everhart Museum, serving the region since 1908, is currently located at 1901 Mulberry Street in Scranton. According to its mission statement, the museum through its col-
lections, exhibits and programs, strives to integrate natural history, science and art into the lives of people. The August 4 event begins at 5 p.m. and offers gourmet food from the restaurants best chef, according to Atkins. For entertainment, locally based Ken McGraw will perform with
his band Dixieland Jazz. Atkins also stressed that this is a hat party, so all attendees are urged to wear their most outrageous or unique hat. Guests are invited to Wear your coolest sundress or seersucker jacket and, of course, an outrageously beautiful or unique hat.
Its really such a beautiful museum, Atkins added. Its a shame funding was cut for such a historical piece of our area, but Im condent what this fundraiser aims to accomplish will do so and then some. Patsels is located at 1385 Lackawanna Trail in Clarks Summit. The cost is $100 per person and attendees must be 21 or older to participate.

Students make difference, gain experience over summer

Baptist Bible College students are making a difference in the lives of others and gaining life-changing experiences and learning this summer on campus, across the country, and around the globe. Students are leading and serving in many short-term ministries, many in cross-cultural environments in other countries. Additionally, some students are remaining on campus to serve on Summer Crew or are returning to serve as counselors and leaders for camps and conferences. Learn more about summer events at www.bbc.edu/summer. Around the globe Teams have travelled to several places around the globe, laboring with nationals and ministry leaders. Locations include Germany, Italy, South Africa, China, India, Honduras, Guatemala and Haiti. Joanna Ferbrache was a member of a team that traveled to Berlin and Rome. I wanted to take part in ministry within the church and to take an opportunity to get to know the missionaries there better, Ferbrache said. One of my favorite parts was seeing the passion they demonstrate for the countries and the people with whom they serve. A team of students led by Baptist Bible College Director of Short-Term Ministries John Jackson traveled to South Africa to lead youth camps, teach, and minister in an orphanage. Our students were evangelistic, not afraid of strangers, and community- and group-minded, Jackson said. They were extremely helpful to missionaries and nationals, and responded to spiritual and physical challenges vigorously. Across the country Others are working within the United States in unique settings like the Providence Center for Urban Leadership in Denver, Colo. Brooke Herman, a sophomore Intercultural Youth Ministries major from Clarks Summit, is serving as a wrangler at Skyview Ranch in Millersburg, Ohio. In this role, she is able to invest in the lives of the campers at the ranch while sharing with them her love of animals. I love kids, I love horses, and I love talking about God,Herman said. A lot of children are afraid of horses because of how big they are. My motto for the summer is: Horses are big and thats scary. God is big and thats scary. Were going to challenge you to trust both. Members of the traveling worship team RiSE served in two groups, heading to destinations in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington,

D.C. and West Virginia. Singing, leading worship, ministering to young people, and sharing testimonies were all highlights of the groups summer tour. On Campus Members of Summer Crew stay on campus from May through August. Their days are spent in a number of areas including serving in the Underground Cafe, working with
maintenance, participating as camp counselors, and assisting with other events on campus. Baptist Bible College & Seminary offers a Christian education and more than 40 undergraduate options through on-campus, online, and other distance learning options. Students go beyond the ordinary, learning to serve with excellence as they gain critical leadership and life skills.
Arts on the Square held in Scranton

The Lackawanna County Commissioners gathered with Arts On The Square organizers to nalize arrangements for the July 27 event. Courthouse Square was turned into an arts, crafts, music and theatrical hub with over 100 vendors and artists participating. Art items, food and literature were available for sale from noon to 8 p.m. Several downtown shops and restaurants were open and running specials.

From page 11 With a lot of school work on their plates during their senior year of high school, they picked up the project again in April when they cast the show. That was a process nding all of these wonderful people (who are all in the 17 to 18 age range). Literally, all of them are our very good friends, so not paying them was easy. I dont know though, if we paid them maybe a lot more people would show up, Peercy said in jest. This is the debut of their independent production. Peercy formed Smiley Face Productions last year with a book he wrote for his senior project at Abington Heights High School. From there weve dabbled in a few things: a few YouTube videos, a Podcast for a few weeks, with musical theater as the most recent venture on which they have embarked. Peercy will attend the University of Maine, Farmington campus where he will study creative writing. It was personal goal for myself to see if I could do it (write the script) Its a very nice way to stay in contact with all of your friends and to get your friends involved with something thats a lot of fun Madeline, whose character is Maya, said The music is very theater. Weve grown up around musicals our entire lives, she added, and the music the audience will hear is a compilation of stereotypical Broadway. Peercy and the Belknaps are funding the production and shouted out thanks to One Point, Scranton who printed 50 posters, Clarks Summit borough for graciously letting us use their building for not a lot of money and Mari Walker the owner of Duffys Coffee House, for her help. Tickets are $5 and available prior to the show at Duffys Coffee House and at the door. Twenty percent of the proceeds will be donated to Downtown-GoAround, a monthly addition to the Clarks Summit Second Friday Art Walk, which is organized by the Clarks Summit Arts Committee, a non-prot arts organization formed under the auspices of the Abington Business and Professional Association.

According to Thom Kreidler, derby chair, 126 children participated, with more than 350 hot dogs, 200 hamburgers and 30 cases of soda and water enjoyed by all after the derby. Kreidler, who will retire from the police department later this year, said this was his last year as derby chair. I hope that the event will continue after my retirement. I am certainly willing to help with the next chairman. It has not only been fun but a pleasure to chair the derby for 16 years, he said. After this years derby, I was approached by many children and parents who extended their appreciation and thats thanks enough. I will miss it.

Though he died in 1925, Christy Mathewson refuses to fade away. Its unlikely that baseball acionados dont know one of the best pitchers to ever play the game, and its even less likely when said player hails from the local town of Factoryville. Keystone College will continue to celebrate the players legacy when they celebrate the 18th annual Christy Mathewson Days on campus Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9 and 10. The event will feature usual activities of memorabilia appreciation, one-mile fun runs, an ice cream social, and the Christy Mathewson Day parade. The highlight of this years event is Matty: An Evening with Christy Mathewson, the one-man play performed by California-based actor Eddie Frierson. My dad came across Pitching in a Pinch, a book that Mathewson wrote, and I took it with me on vacation so Id have something to read on the airplane and one day on the beach he told me to take a drive to Pennsylvania and see if anyone was up there, Frierson said about how he got started portraying Mathewson. Friersons rst performance of the show was in Washington D.C. in 1987, but the current version of the play was rst portrayed in 1995. He rst performed at Keystone in the late 1980s and has been coming back every other year or so since to showcase the play. Everyone at Keystone has treated me like family, Frierson said. I stayed with Bob and Roberta Gibson across from the Mathewson House before both their passing, but everyone who has lived there since is just as wonderful and friendly. Roberta, especially, I owe a lot to for really busting this open and spreading the awareness. If only I met Harold Alvie Reynolds, Mathewsons second cousin, it would have been worth it. Baseball lovers and even those who may not be lifelong fans of the sport are encouraged to attend the play. Those who dont care for the sport may walk away feeling like theyve met an old friend with an appreciation of the time that he lived in. Tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under. If you can touch one life in a positive manner, youve succeeded in your own, Frierson said of his mission in portraying Mathewson.
Comets grads ready for annual Lions Club Dream Game

ROBERT TOMKAVAGE rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com Six players from Abington Heights were chosen to participate in the 79th annual Scranton Lions Club Dream Game July 31 at 7:30 p.m. at Scranton Memorial Stadium. Im very proud of all of the players that have been selected to represent Abington Heights, Comets head coach Joe Repshis said. Its one of the longest played All-Star games in the country with a great tradition. All six players are well deserving of being a part of it. Abington Heights standouts on the County team roster include: Dante Pasqualichio QB/DB/P Hes a versatile athlete, Repshis said. As a sophomore, he gained valuable experience Shown, from left: Ryan Patrick, Jamie Henzes, Dante Pasqualichio, Jerry stepping in at quarterback during the district and state playoffs. He continued to work hard Langan, Chris Sagan and TJ Murray. and improve each season. He had a very good season in all three phases of the game last year. Jamie Henzes DB/KR/PR Hes a very strong defensive player against the run and has good coverage skills as a defensive back, Repshis said. He was the leader of our secondary. He brought a tremendous work ethic each and every day and had a very good career. Henzes plans to continue his football career at Franklin & Marshall College. Jerry Langan FB/LB Hes a tough, physical football player, Repshis said. He runs downhill and is a great run blocker. On defense, he is constantly on the move and gives 110 percent on every snap. Hes a typical old school football player. Langan plans to continue his football career at Furman University. Ryan Patrick PK We place a strong emphasis on special teams, Repshis said. We consider it just as valuable as offense and defense. He has a strong leg and is very consistent. His ability to kick the ball deep on kickoffs gave us a huge advantage. Also, we felt comfortable that if we were able to move the ball inside the 30-yard line, we would have a good opportunity to score points. Patrick plans to continue his football career at Duquesne University. Chris Sagan OL/DL Hes a physical, relentless player, Repshis said. He was a very big part of our success running the ball on offense and stopping the run on defense. T.J. Murray OL/DL Hes very athletic for his size, Repshis said. He has quick feet and great hands. He did a great job on both sides of the ball. Murray plans to continue his football career at Carnegie Mellon University.

Abington Pride brings home title

with my teams in New York, but it was tough to compare them to know how they would perform, she said. They got better and better throughout the tournament and that is what you want to see from your team. They played with a lot of energy and teamwork during the single elimination games. The team nished undefeated in pool play. During their rst game against a team from the Philadelphia area, they prevailed in the second round of sudden death penalty kicks. Its something that the kids will never forget, assistant coach Ken Steenbeck said. Assistant Coach Jack Mulherin, who has been associated with the team for almost ve years, has seen a big difference in the girls play in the past few years. A lot of the girls were coming from recreational soccer with only basic skills when they rst started, he said. They have improved their foot skills, passing, anticipation of plays and formation of plays instead of just letting the ball come to them and kicking it. Their love for the game, desire to play and level of prociency has increased tremendously. Mulherin was thrilled with the teams play in the Challenge Cup. When Ken, Noel, and I entered them in the tournament, we gured it would be a good opportunity to experience high level tournament play, he said. We never expected them to go as far as they did. We expected them to play well, but we knew the level of competition would be much higher on a consistent basis than in our travel league. We were not head and shoulders above any other teams. The tournament was very competitive with a lot of one-point differential games. Mulherins daughter, Ashley, 13, of Clarks Summit is a member of the team. Steenbeck credits the addition of Cox for the vast improvement in the girls play. The professional coaching from Noel has been huge, Steenbeck said. I was giving them baby food and we needed to progress to something that would really advance their skills. According to Steenbeck, the girls responded very well to Coxs guidance. They love her, he said. She is a little bit younger but had an accomplished NCAA soccer career and her teaching methods make sense. Steenbeck also believes opening registration for the team to other areas had a big impact in its progression. We started as an Abingtononly team and tried to recruit every girl interested in competitive soccer, he said. We realized we needed to become more regional and picked up some high quality players from Lakeland and North Pocono. We wanted girls from other

Skateboarding may have its roots on the West Coast in the ancient sport of surfing, found in Polynesia and ancient Peru, but it also developed on the East Coast in urban areas with its paved streets and roads during the early 20th century. After its boon in the 1960s, skateboarding as a pastime quickly spread around the country and today is often linked to youth culture and sport. The Everhart Museum will present artifacts and artwork that reflect the cultural importance of skateboarding, as well as design, technology, demographics, contemporary art, and social impact of the sport on society. Financial support for this exhibit is provided by Gertrude Hawk Chocolates. Sidewalk Surfing will be open during regular museum hours and on view through Dec. 30. Sidewalk Surfing was developed by the staff of the Everhart Museum led by Curator Nezka Pfeifer. The exhibit is an original concept that is being introduced by the Museum with assistance from these artists, exhibit lenders and partners: Dennis Allgeier Collection; Airwalk; Aris Sport; Cynthia Connolly, ARTISPHERE; The Associated Press; Erik Binggeser; Blabac Photo; Mickael Broth; Andrew Colbert and Andy Vasquez; Deckstool; Chris Dyer; DCKT Contemporary; Dino DeNaples; Craig Redman & Karl Maier, Enjoi and Levine/Leavitt; Flatface Fingerboards; James Gallagher; Keith Garcia; James Gidosh Collection; Rich Gilligan; Jim Goodrich; Jack Grant; Tory Grant; Sean Greene; Inga Guzyte; Lia Halloran; Haroshi & HUF Worldwide; Ryan Humphrey; Kris Kanaly; Ipath Footwear; Patrick Maphis Collection; MapleXO; New York Daily News; Mike OMeally; Jenna Selby; Skatelab; Gil Le Bon Delapointe, Skate Study House; John Slaby; Craig Snyder; Len Speier; Balam Soto; The Strong; Neal Thompson; The West Collection; Lorraine Walsh, UNC Asheville and the Dept. of New Media; Adam Weitzenkorn; Sean Witman, Stephen Wright and Cody Zehner.
The Abington Pride girls travel soccer team has ourished under the coaching on Noel Cox, who also serves as the head womens soccer coach at Keystone College. Cox took over as head coach and trainer a year and a half ago after moving to the area from upstate New York. I was looking to get involved in youth sports, and through Ken (Steenbeck) I became associated with the team, she said. The squad recently won the 2013 Eastern Pennsylvania Turkey Hill Challenge Cup. According to Noel, the games took place all over eastern Pennsylvania. When the team wasnt playing locally at Hillside Park, many of their matches were held in the Philadelphia and Allentown areas. The nals took place in Doylestown. I had done similar things
areas to have the opportunity to enjoy competitive soccer as well. Steenbecks daughter, Kaila, 13, of South Abington Township, is a member of the team. Cox believes the team members familiarity with each other has played a big role in their success. They have good team chemistry. Most of the girls have been playing together since they were 7 or 8 years old, she said. Cox has noticed improvements in the technical parts of the girls games, especially their trapping and passing skills, but she believes their increased knowledge in the sport has been most critical to their success. The biggest improvement has been their understanding of the game, she said. They have learned where to play the ball, where to be in certain situations and how to play as a team.

Dept. of Education at Misericordia Twirlettes perform on cruise ranked among very best in nation
The Misericordia University Teacher Education Program is one of 105 teacher p re p a ra tion prog ra m s in the country and one Rogan of only s e v e n in Pennsylvania named to the Honor Roll in the 2013 National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) ratings released by U.S. News & World Report on June, 18. Misericordia Universitys undergraduate secondary education program received three out of four stars in the national report, Teacher Prep Review: A Review of the Nations Teacher Preparation Programs 2013. The three-star designation means the Misericordia University Teacher Education Program provides strong preparation, according to the report. Of the 1,200 elementary and secondary education programs in the United States that were assigned an overall program rating by NCTQ, only 9 percent received the special Honor Roll designation by earning three or four stars. In Northeastern P e n n s y l v a n i a , Misericordia University is one of only two schools to be recognized nationally. Four schools achieved a four-star ranking in the NCATE study. Misericordia University is proud to be ranked among the very best teacher education programs in the country, said Joseph Rogan, Ed.D., professor of teacher education at Misericordia University. As the most senior teacher education program in northeastern Pennsylvania, Misericordia has been preparing highly procient and professional educators for generations by addressing state and professional standards, and utilizing proven best practices for instruction. The nal report is a 2.5-year effort to gauge the quality of the bachelors and masters degree tracks required to enter the teaching profession, according to U.S. News & World Report. NCTQs ratings evaluated 1,200 teacher preparation programs at 608 colleges and universities on key standards designated by the research group. NCTQ reviewed applicable key standards including admissions selection criteria, student teaching programs, early reading, elementary math, history, and science curricula, as well as high school curricula and middle school content. NCTQ used course requirements, syllabi, employer surveys and detailed student-teaching contracts, among other documents, to score undergraduate and graduate teaching preparation programs on each of these standards. It then assigned an overall program rating on a scale of 0 to 4 stars, four being the highest, according to NCTQ. Among the key standards, the Misericordia University Teacher Education Program received four stars in selection criteria, common core middle school content, common core high school content and classroom management, and two stars for outcomes. To earn a program rating of three or more stars, programs must score relatively well across multiple standards. Few programs, according to NCTQ, are able to accomplish that. Teacher education programs with strong selection criteria may not require strong content preparation or have a strong policy regarding student teaching placements. Or those that provide excellent instruction in early reading may not also do so in elementary math, according to the report. The Department of Teacher Education at Misericordia University voluntarily shared its internal documentation for the collaboration between U.S. News & World Report and NCTQ shortly after it was requested. We believe in a transparent and accountable process that strives to improve teacher education quality, teacher quality and student instruction, said Dr. Rogan. In order to accomplish these noble goals, it is vitally important that proven best practices are shared throughout the education eld. It is paramount that we work together to ensure a high quality education for todays and tomorrows children. To ensure quality instruction and preparedness, the Misericordia University Teacher Education Program has been among the rst in the state to seek accreditation under newly established standards. In 2001, Misericordia volunteered to be the rst program in the state reviewed and accredited under the Pennsylvania Department of Educations new standards and was among the rst to be reaccredited under the 2010 guidelines. The common teacher education core at Misericordia University is consistent throughout the program. It includes courses in development, learning, classroom management and eld experiences for the undergraduate secondary education program, as well as the special education, Pre-K to fourth grade and middle school programs. Two years ago, we also voluntarily started the process to seek national accreditation through the prestigious National Council for Accreditation for Teacher Education, said Dr. Rogan, outlining another example of the Misericordia seeking an independent external review to measure the academic programs quality. We recently were notied that this national organization has granted us candidacy status a noteworthy accomplishment from a recognized agency that thoroughly reviews teacher education programs from top to bottom, including curriculum and instruction. For more information about the Department of Teacher Education at Misericordia University, please call 570-674-6400 or log on to www.misericordia.edu/teacher.
