Photographs line the walls of the living room in the home of Bernadine, better known as Betty, and Michael Bernarsky at Clarks Summit Senior Living Center. One frame holds a picture of Michael in his Air Force uniform next to his wife. Another shows a young Michael and his family. Others display their sons, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. These highlight the lives of Michael, 94, and Betty, 91 and display the milestones of a couple who have been married for 70 years. Betty Rulis met Michael Bernarsky in high school where they became sweethearts.
I became friends with his sister and I got to meet him, Betty said. They were married April 20, 1942, in a Catholic Church in Kearny, N. J. Bettys sister, Marcella, served as maid of honor and Michaels brother, Metro, served as best man. Michael joined the Air Force in July soon after they were married. Michael was training to become a ight engineer and was ready to go to Okinawa. The war ended and he did not have to go, Betty recalled. He would spend more than four years in the service becoming an airplane mechanic. Her husband worked for Otis Elevator See BERNARSKY | 10
Betty and Michael Bernarsky, residents of Clarks Summit Senior Living, celebrate over 70 years of marriage. Their secret to staying together so long? Being in love, Betty answered without hesitation.
Bald Mountain Orchard offers a paradise for lovers of vegetables, fruits and owers. The Clarks Summit farm, owned and operated by Dean and Michelle, LaCoe, both 46, with help from their three children Samantha 22, Dalton 18 and Bodie, 10, is a massive undertaking considering the ve family members do all the work themselves. Deans great grandpa started the farm. His wife had a heart attack and he could not run the farm by himself so he sold it, said Michelle
LaCoe. The LaCoes bought back some of the farm. They rented land behind the home of Deans aunt, Beverly Brown, and recently purchased it. A stream ows through the property, which provides irrigation. Dean built a covered bridge over the stream. Trees in the orchard consist of plums, various kinds of apples, several varieties of pears, peaches and nectarines. Blueberry bushes put forth large, plump fruit. Raspberries and grapes also part of the harvest. Growing season starts in

Did Jerry Skinner, Keystone College professor of biology, try to catch reies as a kid? Of course we all did, he said. But I dont particularly try to catch them as an adult, added Skinner. I just started to pay attention to them again recentlyWeve got some elds where the reies come up by the thousands and thousands. The elds he refers to are located in the Woodbourne Forest and Wildlife Preserve, a 648-acre preserve in Dimock, Susquehanna County. Skinner is the resi-
dent naturalist and caretaker there and also lives on a portion of the preserve. While the rey and lightning bug are synonymous, the rey is neither a y nor a bug, but a member of the beetle order. A few examples of true bugs are water striders and stink bugs, according to Skinner. A rey expert recently gave Skinner her scoop on reies when she came to Woodbourne to collect reies for her Ph.D. research project. She was actually working on things like their ash patternsdifferent species ash different ways. It shouldnt See FIREFLIES | 10
Want to catch a fire fly? Jerry Skinner, Keystone College suggests using a net or a jar.
MORE INFO
Additional facts about reies provided courtesy of Jerry Skinner, Keystone College biology professor Photuris Pennsylvanica (DeGeer) is the scientic name of the species of rey designated as the ofcial state insect of Pennsylvania in 1974, It takes the average rey two years to get through its lifecycle. All of the boys are hiding in the day either in the grass, bushes and trees. The ones we see up in the air are almost all boys. At dusk, they start coming up and theyre ying. When the boys are ying, they are ashing their ashes. The females are either in the vegetation or on the ground. If they see a suitable species ash pattern, then they ash back. And then the males will come in and then, if they both dance the right dance, they might mate. When girls look up and see a bunch of ashes, how do they pick? How do you judge a good male? What does a good-looking rey look like? Some people suggest it might be how good they ash? What color? How bright? Apparently, thats enough to impress a female. When she lays her eggs on the ground, the eggs glow. When they hatch, they turn slug-like thing and they glow, too. Some people call them glowworms. The glow worms are quite carnivorous and they specialize in feeding on slugs.
While the firefly and lightning bugare synonymous, the firefly is neither a fly nor a bug, but a member of the beetle order.

NEWTON TWP. Newton Township supervisors are considering granting a home-occupation conditional use permit to a man looking to sell rearms via the Internet. But in order to get a federal sales license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Thomas P. Tolson is mandated to also have person-to-person sales, meaning some would be made directly from his house. Board of Supervisors Chairman Ronald Koldjeski said that before ruling on the matter the supervisors want to rst know how many person-to-person sales would be made. Tolson said he did not know but would have the information for the August meeting, when supervisors will make their decision. Tolson owns a 16-square-foot safe in which he keeps about 70 guns, ranging from assault ries to pistols. He purchased the guns at estate sales and auctions, and he hopes to sell them on websites like Ebay where he can set a minimum price and prospective buyers can bid on the products. One of the concerns expressed by Koldjeski was the possibility of break-ins at Tolsons house and the guns being stolen. Our major concern is public safety, the supervisor said. A few other concerns were voiced by residents, including Nicole Sharrow. She said if the permit is granted she hopes Tolson keeps the guns safely locked up. She added that she doesnt believe mental illness is taken seriously in the country and she doesnt trust people. She made a very good point, Koldjeski said. Tolson said he would use a system like PayPal, or a post ofce box address, to receive his pay and would not advertise his physical address. The person-to-person sales, he said, would only be made to people he knows and to law enforcement ofcials. His only employee would be his son, Chris, Dalton Borough police chief. Also, Tolson said he will not sell ammunition. A home occupation permit allows for a sign to be placed outside the residence, but Tolson said he will not do that. Koldjeski said if he is to vote in favor of Tolsons request there must be conditions, including no advertising and the enhancement of the residences security system. My thing is to keep residents safe, the supervisor said. In other news, Abington Paving Company will repair a section of the driveway at the municipal building at a cost of $4,200. The action was taken after supervisors had received complaints about the driveways cracked surfaces. Also, Abington Heights student Matthew Parry, for his Eagle Scout project, is looking to construct a sign and do landscaping work at the municipal building. I think its a good idea, said Supervisor Douglas Pallman. The signage could involve electrical work and the supervisors said they may have to help with costs. Pallman said Parry is working on sketches and proposals.

Miniature golf is a fun thing to do if youre out with your friends for a day and you want to come here and relax.
Jane Kircher, 12
If you hit it and it comes back, you can still do it again Would you like to improve your minia- (so you dont feel left out). ture golf game? If you can hold a golf club and follow If the ball goes in and comes any kind of instruction, you can play min- back out, you get to do it again.
iature golf, said Bert Ayers, owner of the Red Barn Village, Newton Township, Clarks Summit, who offers miniature golf enthusiasts a Top Ten List of suggestions to improve their game. Bert and Nancy Ayers opened the miniature golf course on Memorial Day 1979. Construction got underway the preceding summer. Initially, there were 18 holes, including the last hole where players lose their ball or win a free game. A few years later, they added a 19th hole to the course. I was absolutely convinced it would work. I saw it on television show, but I had never played. It was such a cool thing, explained Ayers, whose father, Carl, was a bit skeptical at rst. He was a little resistant to getting it off the ground, he said of his fathers reaction to his plan. We proposed it to my father in the spring, 1978. I got a at response. What people may not realize is no matter how old you are or who you are, you can play miniature golf, according to Ayers, whose customer base is multi-generational. People constantly tell us I played here when I was 12 and these are my kids, he said. The idea is, he added, not to lift that ball, to get it to roll along the carpet. And the name of the game is to keep it (the ball) inside the boundaries. When teaching a young child, he advises, The object of the game for a young child in the 3 to 4-year-old age range is to keep the ball inside the boundary. It doesnt matter how many strokes it takes. Regardless of the number of strokes it takes to get the ball in the hole, give them (children) the par noted on the card and then they can play along and feel theyre part of the game. He also noted that miniature golf is a good way to teach children discipline. Its really not that difcult. With traditional miniature golf courses, skills can be developed. Ayers encourages folks playing miniature golf to read the rules prior to beginning a round. Signage is provided at the course for anyone who needs a reminder.

1. Be patient. Miniature golf is a thought- out process. 2. Plan your shot. decide where you want the ball to go. 3. Work with the grain of the carpet. 4. use a gentle stroke. swinging harder doesnt mean the ball will land where you want it to land. Putt instead of swinging. 5. swing level. Hit the ball when youre at the low point. 6. Choose an angle for your shot while standing on the tee pad. 7. line up your shot. The ball will go where you hit it. 8. stay focused on where you want the ball to go. 9. stand square with a 90 degree angle to the ball whether you are right or left handed. Stance will have a lot to do with your swing. 10. Keep your arms straight. To create a fluid movement your arms should be straight.
Fifty avors of ice cream Manning Farm Dairy, Dalton, must pass true taste test: family tastebuds. We have 15 grandchildren and they are the testers, said matriarch Jean Manning, of Manning Farm Dairy, which has been located in in Dalton since 1920. Kenneth Manning loved ice cream so the farm started producing ice cream in 1964, said Jean Manning. She and her husband Paul, Kenneths son, opened the Clarks Summit store in the 1970s. It was the rst store opened outside the farm. All Paul and Jeans six children Michelle, Traci, Brian, Kenneth, Kevin and Casey, have worked on the farm and in the store.

The ride start and end at the Geno Merli Veterans Center, 401 Penn. Ave, Scranton. Registration will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Donation is $10 per person with proceeds beneting veterans and the POW/MIA issue. The major functions of Rolling Thunder Inc. are to publicize the POW/ MIA issue, to educate the public that many American prisoners-of-war were left behind after all wars, to help correct the past and to protect future veterans should they become prisoners-of -war/missing-in-action. The group is also committed to helping American veterans from all wars. After the ride, a picnic is held with residents at the Geno Merli Veterans Center. According to South Abington Twp. Chief of Police Robert Gerrity, who has helped coordinate trafc during the event for the last 10 years, the ride will go directly through the borough of Clarks Summit this year for the rst time at around 12:10 p.m. Gerrity added the event is heavily attended each year.
It usually attracts 700 to 800 motorcyclists each year, he said. PA Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 President Tony Valunas believes the success of the ride can be attributed to a few factors including the hard working chapters members and great people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Its a testament to the people of the area who come out for veterans at this event and others, he said. Valunas added that the group strives to keep the event as a Salute to Veterans.

At Academy Tutoring, students receive help with all school subjects including languages such as Latin, Spanish and French. There is also help available for high school equivalency exams, college entrance exams, military entrance exams, and nursing boards. According to Fumanti, the greatest impact provided by Academy Tutoring is the success rate in college entrance exams. In the past ve years we have helped students earn more than $750,000 in merit scholarships due to higher scores on SAT and ACT exams, hesaid. According to Fumanti there are ways parents can help their children prepare for academic success. Parents can purchase enrichment books to supplement course studies in school. They can also search for online help such as work sheets and practice tests. Parents simply type a subject, such as English or Math, into a search engine to nd a vast supply of help. If a child struggles in a
certain area, Fumanti suggested that parents seek outside help from trained experts. In preparation for college, Fumanti suggested that students take challenging courses in high school and continue to be involved in anything academic during the summer months. According to Fumanti, students should start preparing for their college career as early as their sophomore year in high school. They can start looking at schools and preparing to take the SAT and ACT exams, he said. According to Fumanti, students can take the SAT and ACT college exams as many times as they want and there is no minimum age limit. We want kids to achieve their full potential and have opportunities they wouldnt have otherwise, he said.

Cheering on a budget
Getting to her current level in the world of cheerleading was a progression for my daughter. First, there were the years spent in competitive gymnastics. Next was the introduction to cheer through the Abington J u n i o r Adriane C o m e t s . the Heine When Comets seaContributing son ended Columnist last year, the thirst for competition remained. On to all-star cheerleading we went. My husband and I quickly realized that our eldest had exchanged one very expensive sport for another. Between the monthly tuition, uniform costs, competition fees and travel expenses, this was going to be a burden on our budget. I wondered why my kid couldnt just like reading or at least municipal sports. Somehow, though, we made it work. She completed her rst year of all-star cheerleading, loving every minute. This May, she, along with every other competitive cheerleader, went through placements. This is the tryout each athlete must go through to see what level they have achieved for the upcoming season. They demonstrate what they have mastered and are placed on a team according to whether or not they can do a tumbling pass, a standing back tuck, a full-out ip and many other skills. My daughter was ecstatic when she found out she had moved up a level. The next night, I attended the parents meeting. My heart sunk as I realized that the fees were going up; way up. What had been a stretch began to look impossible. My husband and I were raised with different philosophies on extracurricular activities. He wasnt allowed to do expensive ones and I was, no questions asked. My mother tells me that my dance tuition was $500 a month, and that was in the 1980s. As much as I appreciate all that I was given, I wonder if these kinds of nancial decisions affected each of our familys nancial wellbeing. His parents saved for college, paid off their home and had plenty to retire on. Mine did none of those things. I struggle with the question: Should expensive sports be off-limits? I do not spoil my kids. They dont wear all the latest big-name labels. They were the last to get a Wii and they share a bedroom in a small house. However, their activities are where I have a tough time putting my foot down. This child is an honor student. She does her chores. She loves to compete and be part of a team. When she was a toddler, we let her try out different activities and she found her niche. How can we stop her now? The car ride home from the gym that night was tough. I told her I wasnt sure how we were going to make this work and then we were both just quiet. When we got home, I laid it all out for both she and her dad; the tuition, the uniform costs, the 11 outof-area meets, two which would require air travel. My husband said the household budget was stretched as far in that direction as it could go. We all went to bed feeling a little sad. The next day I talked to the coach. She told me that the gym had a fantastic Booster Club, that some of the families did so much fundraising that they never paid any tuition. There were ample opportunities to sign up to collect coins outside Wal-Mart or volunteer to work the snack stand at PNC Field, all proceeds going straight to her tuition. We could sell cookie dough, candles, candy cars, poinsettias and mums. She said that if we were willing to put in the time, we could basically fundraise her tuition. Theres one glitch, I thought. I have two other children, and one is a baby. I already work part-time and often feel like I dont see the little one enough. These fundraising opportunities were great and maybe we could do some, but maybe they were really for a family with less on their plate. That afternoon was the rst ofcial practice of the newly formed team. I approached her to talk more about it and she told me she wasnt going, that there was no more need to discuss it. Mom, I cant. Its not fair if I get to do that, and you shouldnt have to work any more than you do. I made sure she was certain about her decision and I went to call the gym. As I dialed I heard her weeping. I put down the phone. Sweetie, I said. We can make this work. We just have to break it down. If you want it that bad and you are willing to work for it, its possible. She wiped her eyes and looked at me. We talked about the work she does around the house. We usually offer her an average of three hours of work each week; cleaning the house, mowing the lawn or watching the baby. In the past, she would earn money to get a latte or some candy after school with her friends. Beyond basic chores, she always had the choice to work or not. If her wallet was fat from a recent birthday, she might say no. You can work three hours a week towards cheerleading, I said. All the money goes to your tuition. If you want some pocket cash, you work a fourth hour. And you cant opt out. She nodded her head. I can take on an extra day at work every month. You will help dad watch the baby that day. We can call it Moms Extra Day for Cheer. She smiled. Right there, I went on, the tuition increase is covered. Now we just have to deal with the uniform and travel. We can do some of the fundraisers, she offered. The ones that dont take up too much time. I heard the coin drop at Wal-Mart is one of the best, and I know Nana likes Poinsettias at Christmastime. The owner of the gym offered us one trial month before signing the contract, the perfect amount of time to see if my daughters work ethic and enthusiasm maintained its current level. It did.

Neighborhood celebration
Each Fourth of July at 10 a.m. for the past eight years, children in the Quackenbush neighborhood have gathered at Dr. Harry and Eileen Dammers house, according to resident Helene Magnotta. Spirited music plays in the background and each neighbor brings along a contribution for light refreshments . Children from 5 months to 13 years old march down Holly Lane, each playing either a musical instrument, riding a bike or scooter, being pulled along in a wagon and even one walking on stilts. Each year the parade grows larger and more good-humored, said Magnotta. Three generations of families from other Abington neighborhoods join in the celebration of Americas birthday. The parade was started by Eileen Dammer, when she returned from Williamsburg, Va. eight years ago with the Colonial spirit. Dammers father coordinated a neighborhood parade when she was a youngster. This year the festivities received a guest visitor as Sparky-The-Dog joined the parade, compliments of the Clarks Summit Borough Fire Department. Organizers offered thanks to President Dave Jinkins, Chief Jake Hoinowski and Volunteer Fireghter Bob Bass. Bass executed the procedures to utilize Sparky in the parade. At the parade, he helped remote-control Sparky to move, blow sirens, squirt the crowd with water and mechanically move his paws, head, mouth and eyes. Many children were given the opportunity to direct Sparky using the remote control and creating a voice for the dog via a microphone system installed in Sparky.

MORE INFO
Jesye McConnell encourages people to learn more about how they can help by liking the Kerry Hackney Fundraiser Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/KerryHackneyFundraiser?fref=ts and visiting the Give Forward web page at https://www.giveforward.com/ fundraiser/7nf2/kerry-hackney.
When Jesye McConnell, 36, of Chester, N.J. logged on to the social media website Facebook one recent Friday morning, she read a post she wouldnt soon forget: Off to radiation and then home to put up drywall. The statement came from her new friend Kerry Hackney, 44, of Ransom Twp., daughter of another friend, Susan Bauer, of Conway, S.C. McConnell said Hackney, a single mother of two children (Samantha, 20, and Jarred, 13) is undergoing treatment following breast cancer, and at the same time renovating her home in Sunset Mobile Home Park, Ransom Twp.all this while taking antiseizure medication which impacts her ability to function in some areas and drive long distances. The anti-seizure medication is a result of a battle fought and won against a brain tumor about three years ago. As the day went on, McConnell said Hackneys Facebook post remained on her mind. I thought about her post
in the shower, she said. I thought about her post while getting my daughter ready for school and feeding my kids breakfast. Before the afternoon began, I knew that this was unacceptable and I knew something had to be done to help Kerry. I want my kids to grow up in a world that is helpful and nurturing. I want my kids to live in a place where people give and lend a hand when someone needs assistance. Most importantly, I want to teach my children that when you cant use your wallet to help, you use your voices and you use your hands. So, she started a fundraising campaign via GiveForward.com, a crowd funding website with which individuals can donate money toward various causes. McConnell explained, You have a group of people who all want to help but no one has the full amount necessary to make a difference,
so what do you do? You create a fundraiser through GiveForward and set a goal. You utilize the sources presented through networking and social media to get word out regarding what your charity needs and how each person can play a vital role in reaching this goal. When the time period has lapsed, the beneciary receives a lump sum check. McConnells goal for the fundraiser is to collect $10,000 by Sept. 27. According to the fundraiser web page, as of July 5, 23 donations were made and 14 percent of that goal reached, with the total so far at $1,385. No matter how much money is collected in the end, McConnell said she is certain the donations will help make a better life for Hackney and her children. I think it is important to remember, she said, that regardless of whether a goal is reached, a serious effort
Kerry Hackney
was put forth. Yet even if the goal is not reached by September, I am not giving up on Kerry. I will continue to reach out to people in her community in hopes that they can assist her by providing supplies, manpower and whatever good will there is to be had. She added Hackney is in need of carpentry help, painting help, supplies and various household items which many people take for granted. McConnell said even in her time of need, however, Hackney serves as a positive inspiration to those around her as a committed and dedicated mother, pressing on and keeping her focus on her children and their needs. Hackney expressed gratitude toward McConnell for starting the fundraiser, as well as to those who support her through friendship and other ways. She
said one person who is a constant inspiration to her is her friend and neighbor Colleen Freeman. Hackney said Freeman sticks with her every step of the way, even when she is going through difculties of her own. Shes my biggest push when Im depressed, Hackney said. She also expressed a mix of awe and thankfulness toward those who donated funds so far. It seems strange to me, she said, that people who dont know me that well would be willing to help. I am very grateful. McConnell said the responses so far to the fundraiser are bringing out the best in people. I see a lot of donations from people we hardly know and it reinforces my belief that the world is good and lled with generosity and love.

Ofcer Thom Kreidler, of South Abington Police Department, reported an incident involving the discarded head of a buffalo on Dark Regions Road at the July 1 meeting of Ransom Township Board of Supervisors. Somebody discarded parts of an animal, Kreidler said. The rest of the buffalo is still missing. According to a police narrative, the department received a telephone message from the county communications center stating Shirley LaRue, of Clarks Summit, was walking on Dark Regions Road near a wooded area and discovered a severed buffalo head inside a container. According to the narrative, LaRue contacted Township Supervisor Dennis Macheska, who contacted the township road crew to remove the head prior to notifying the police. Other items in the police report included several speeding complaints, a trespassing complaint, criminal mischief, a request from a concerned resident of Sunset Mobile Home Park to check on a neighbor, an attempted arson complaint at the former Agway building on the 2600 block of Milwaukee Road, a prowler complaint and a domestic dispute. Several residents complained about vehicles seen regularly racing on township roads and Kreidler agreed to look into the matter. Connie Flesh, of Ransom Road, mentioned to Kreidler ve mailboxes and three street signs were damaged the night before along her road. Kreidler said he received other complaints about the same incident and the matter is under investigation. In other business, supervisors voted to approve the Horace Davies Subdivision request at its meeting July 1 after receiving recommendations from the Ransom Twp. and Lackawanna County planning commissions and the DEP. The re report, road report and other brief staff reports were also given. Rick Notari from Lackawanna County presented items from the county events calendar. It was noted correspondence was received from PPL advising the company will use a new type of wire connector on the Susquehanna-Roseland project. Implosive splicing, a loud but safe method, according to the company, will be used. The next township meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5.

According to South Abington Twp. Chief of Police Robert Gerrity, the police department is currently investigating an armed robbery that occurred at the Comfort Inn, 811 Northern Boulevard, early Tuesday morning, July 9. The department was rst called to McDonalds, 1127 Northern Boulevard, at approximately 2:05 a.m. after two black males attempted to rob the drive thru, Gerrity said. He added that a heavyset male wearing
a grey hoodie and red shorts pushed the drive-thru window open, leaned halfway through and attempted to grab the cash box, but wasnt able get to get any cash. The other male involved was described as having a thin build and was wearing a purple or blue hoodie with dark shorts, according to Gerrity. The men then ran behind the strip mall near Dominos Pizza, 1121 Northern Boulevard, after the employee working the drivethru screamed and scared them off, he added. Gerrity said that according to
a witness on the street, the two people then ran behind Sheetz, 1109 Northern Boulevard and got into a gold Ford Expedition and left. At 2:45 a.m., according to Gerrity, the same two people were recorded on video walking into the Comfort Inn. The male in the grey hoodie pulled what appeared to be a large handgun and pointed it directly at the female desk clerk, threatened her and demanded money. The other male, who appeared to be acting as a lookout, then grabbed the money from her.
According to Gerrity, the men exited the building and turned right toward the entrance to the turnpike. We have no specic leads, he said. We have put out a broadcast on the vehicle and have contacted the local police departments. Were taking this very seriously and are actively investigating. Gerrity is hopeful that additional surveillance footage will give the department a better look at the people and vehicle. Anyone with information can contact the Police Department at 570- 586-2111.

Fireflies
From page 1 surprise us because, for example, different birds sing different songs. Fireflies flash different things, said Skinner, who explained how the flash of light we see at night is generated. They produce a cool heat (light) and its a reaction a typical chemical reaction. They have an enzyme that converts one thing into another and another, and eventually, it creates this flash. It comes from what we call a light organ in the abdomen and the males have got a bigger flash organ. In a habitat similar to that of Woodbourne, she also discovered there could be as many as 17 different varieties of fireflies and there are also seasons for the fireflies, noted Skinner. There are some species that are springtime only and then they disappear and you dont see them again until next year and some that dont come out until mid-summer and some that dont come out until late summer. Fireflies also flash in different colors, and when we put those things together (color and flash pattern), you can tell there are different species out theresome of which are out during the day and they dont flash. Most of the fireflies we have around here do flash. Some flash approximately once per second while others will flash twice and pause and others do a sputtering flash that the trained observer can see and knows what they are. How does Skinner recommend catching a firefly? Well, I do it the easy way, he said. I use a net, but most kids dont have one so they just run around with a jar, or catch them in their hands and that works fine. Then he sticks them in a jar. To learn more about the firefly, visit Firefly Watch: A Citizen Science Project available online through the Boston Museum of Science: legacy. mos.org/fireflywatch/about_firefly_ watch.
Betty and Michael Bernarsky, residents of Clarks Summit Senior Living, celebrate over 70 years of marriage. Their secret to staying together so long? Being in love, Betty answered without hesitation.

The Third Annual Kristyn E. Kromko Celebration of Life Scholarship Race, a two-mile walk or run, is scheduled for July 20 at Baptist Bible College, Clarks Summit. Registration will be open from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and the race will begin at 9 a.m. Registration requires a $15 entry fee. The event will aso feature a basket raffle, and concludes at 11 a.m. The event began in 2011 in memory of Kristyn Kromko, who died in an automobile accident April 26, 2010 at age 16, just three weeks after receiving her drivers license. She resided in Clarks Summit with her parents, Joseph and Roberta Kromko and brother, Brandon Kromko. Following the accident, the family started a $1,000 scholarship in her memory at Abington Heights, where both siblings attended. The race benefits the Kristyn E. Kromko Celebration of Life Scholarship, which is open to Abington Heights High School seniors who display similar qualities to those remembered in Kromko by her family and friends. Pre-registration forms are available at NEPA Runner and forkristyn.com. Those interested in making a donation of a gift basket for the raffle may call Ruth at 315.877.5575 or e-mail petunia6@ptd.net.

Clarks Summit resident, Edward Murphy, recently published his second book. Although Life and Basketball is a work of ction, Murphy drew on his experiences as a youth basketball coach and as the parent of a high school varsity basketball player to write this book. Murphys oldest son, EJ, played basketball for Murphy Abington Heights High School. Readers will see some similarities between our own Lackawanna Basketball League and the ctional County Basketball League in my book, Murphy said. Life and Basketball is quite a departure from his rst book, A Pennsylvania Deer Hunter, which was a narrative detailing Murphys experiences in the outdoors. I wanted to build a story from the ground up, Murphy added. Developing characters and story lines then tying everything together was a fun challenge. Life and Basketball follows Mike OMalley, a recent college graduate, into his rst position as a high school history teacher. This leads to a position as an assistant varsity basketball coach. Exciting basketball action, personal drama, and romance leap off the pages of this exciting book. A book signing will be held at Tim Wagners Sports Corner, 1827 Sanderson Ave., Scranton from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 20. Life and Basketball is also available at Amazon.com and for Kindle download.

Boys and girls, ages ve to 15 had an opportunity to work on soccer skills during a two-week soccer camp hosted by Keystone College, La Plume. The emphasis was player development, according to Noel Cox, director, who said Through quality coaching we aim to develop skills fundamental to the game of soccer in a fun and stimulating environment. She added, This is the second year of the camp. First year we had about 45 kids total for both weeks, this year we have grown to about 115 for both weeks of the camp. Keith Moore was co-director. The typical daily schedule included technical training sessions, video sessions, small sided games, speed and agility tness training, scrimmages, and evening functional training. College coaches and current and former college soccer players assisted Cox and Moore.

Abington Little League Major Farm Commissioner Jim Walsh, who was asked to run the Minor Farm Fall Ball season this year, is trying to make baseball available to children who may not have been able to play in the past. According to Walsh, there are several changes to the Abington Little League Minor Farm Fall Ball schedule for the upcoming season to make playing baseball more convenient for potential participants. One of Walshs main goals in reworking the Minor Fall Farm Ball schedule was to allow children the opportunity to play both baseball and soccer in the fall. The Saturday start time for the baseball games was changed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate any players wishing to participate in Abington Soccer. Soccer is the sport of choice in the Abingtons during the fall, he said. A lot of participants have to choose one sport due to time constraints. Were hoping to bring out more participants for fall baseball this year. The registration deadline is Aug. 10 and the season will begin Aug. 24, almost three weeks earlier than last year. According to Walsh, this will be the fth year for Minor Farm Fall Ball, a league for 7 and 8-year-old children. Weather issues in the past also prompted Walsh to move the start of the season to earlier in the summer. The baseball elds are generally not See FARM | 14

For years the Scranton Region Antique Automobile Club of America has had their show in the Abingtons. This is our home, said Michael Passero, 50, of Scranton. Even though we are the Scranton Region, our show is in the Abingtons. We are a noble car club, said Passero. It is prestigious for a car owner to receive an award from the Scranton Region Antique Automobile Club of America. Passero said that the Scranton club is the only one in the area afliated with the Antique Automobile Club of America, a 78 year organization devoted to bringing car lovers and automobile collectors together across America. This year, the clubs one day car show will feature more than 350 cars from all over the northeastern United
States, many from the Abington area. The Scranton Region Antique Automobile Club of Americas Ofcial 42nd Annual Show Car is a 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, owned by Passero and featured at the show. According to Passero, president of the Scranton Region, cars are not judged against other cars. Each car is judged on its own merits under the standards of the national organization. Every car starts with 100 points, and winners are determined by teams of judges who examine each automobile entered and deduct points from the perfect 100 point starting score. Passero said other awards given during the day will include: the Merit Award, for the automobile at the most Scranton Region or National shows; the Early Ford Award, donated by a club member in honor of his father and given to the owner of an early Ford, such as a Model A or a Model T; the

Nearly 200 campers and coaches attended Lady Defenders Basketball week at Baptist Bible College, the last of three special weeks of focused camps for school-age children and teens. Led by BBC Womens Head Basketball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director Amber Jacobs, the July 8-12 event connected spiritual growth with improvements on the court. I like this camp much better than others I have been to, said Morgan Mills of Moosic, Pa. We get a lot of help. I feel like
Im actually learning a lot and the dorms are really nice. More than 500 campers and coaches attended Defender, Lady Defender, and Big Blue basketball camps. The weeks included activities in the new Recreation Center on campus, the rst use of the new building. Time spent learning with veteran coaches and dedicated college athletes makes an impact as players take part in athletics throughout the year.

Dont miss the selection of new novels added in the past week to the New Books collection of Adult Fiction at the Abington Community Library, some by established authors and others by newcomers.

The Tibetan lamas of South India make their rst visit to northeastern Pennsylvania to demonstrate their art, music and dance the belief of the living moment. Keystone College in LaPlume presents the 7th annual event known as The Gathering, a thematic conference rich in imagination and creativity, where people of diverse backgrounds explore the sciences and arts of different cultures through workshops, lectures, performances and discussions. This years theme is The Art of the Living Moment, based on a Buddhist practice of living in the present. Suzanne Staples, a scholar and resident of Keystone who has planned seven years of the program, said we wanted to do a theme on how transience motivates us and how it enhances our creativity. Due to this mindset, Keystone College has invited worldrenowned artists to speak and present at the three- day event, including the Tibetan lamas of Drepung Loseling Monastery, located in southern India. The lamas have lived in exile since 1959 under constant pressure of the Chinese government, which resulted in the Dalai Lama ee-
Diane ackerman, who will speak at The Gathering, has written more than two dozen works, includingThe Zookeepers wife, natural History of the senses and finalist of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize One Hundred names for Love.
ing the Tibetan capital under threat of the army. However, with the help of the Lackawanna County Library System and The Gathering funding, the endeavor of bringing the lamas to the area was possible to share their music and dance, as well as the creation of a mandala, a sand painting. Because the monks do not speak English, a Tibetan will be present to translate, as well as describe all music and dance pieces. The opening ceremony will
have the lamas consecrating a space to create the mandala and will be worked on throughout the event with the closing ceremony seeing them sweep their creation into the Nokomis Creek that runs through the campus, symbolizing the transience of everything; creating then destroying. The lamas will not sweep the entire mandala into the creek for environmental purposes; most of it will be bagged up and given away as souvenirs. Also speaking at the workshops will be Diane Ackerman and Ilya Kaminsky, who will feature creative writing and poetry, respectively. Ackerman has written more than two dozen works including The Zookeepers Wife, Natural History of the Senses and nalist of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize One Hundred Names for Love. Kaminsky, who hails from the former USSR, is author of Dancing in Odessa which has won numerous awards including the American Academy of Arts and Letters Metcalf Award and Whiting Writers Award. Staples said about Kaminskys poetry in particular, he reads so beautifully, you really need to hear it to appreciate it. The Gathering will take place from July 18 to 21 and runs all day Friday through Sunday, with registration and the opening cer-

emony taking place Thursday. All events headlining the Tibetan lamas are free and varying fees apply to all other workshops. This is a special event to have these people in our area. Its a wonderful opportunity to see the Tibetans, especially since this in their rst time in northeastern Pennsylvania and not many people know of their situation, Staples added, encouraging all to attend.
At a party, he meets and falls for the mysterious Miranda. When their relationship is discovered, they are forced to run for their lives, eeing into the deadly Sonora Desert in hope of crossing the border to safety. New Historical Fiction The Aviators Wife, by Melanie Benjamin. Vividly imagined, this novel about Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh and their complicated marriage, draws on the history of the twentieth century, from the late twenties to the mid-sixties. It provides new insight into what made this remarkable relationship endure through heartbreak and hardships. Medea, by Kerry Greenwood. As priestess of Hecate, Princess Medea protects the sacred grove holding the Golden Fleece. Jason arrives determined to acquire the Fleece and rule the land. Medeas obsession with Jason compels her to help him master wild bulls and lure the great serpent guarding the eece, until the king seeks to kill the two, who escape together. Through Medea, Jason becomes king of Corinth, but ultimately, their story is one of tragedy, vengeance, and grief.

From page 11 The monks of Drepung Loseling have a distinguished modern-day musical history and on past tours have performed with entertainers, including Kitaro, Paul Simon, Philip Glass, Edie Brickell, Natalie Merchant, Patti Smith, the Beastie Boys, and the Grateful Deads Mickey Hart. Two of their recordings, Tibetan Sacred Temple Music and Sacred Tibetan Chants have achieved top-10 listings on the New Age charts, and their most recent recording, Compassion, pairs them with Trappist Monks from the Abbey of Gethsemani in an encounter of Catholic Gregorian chant with Tibetan multiphonic singing. Their music was featured on the Golden Globenominated soundtrack of the lm, Seven Years in Tibet, starring Brad Pitt (Columbia Pictures) and they performed with Philip Glass in Lincoln Center in the live presentation of his award-winning score to the Martin Scorsese lm Kundun (Disney). The Loseling monks have twice been featured artists at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, and in July 2003 they represented Tibet in a pre-Olympic celebration of World Sacred Music and Dance. Tickets are available at all Lackawanna County libraries and at the Scranton Cultural Center box ofce and will be available at the door the night of the performance. Funding for the concert is provided by the Lackawanna County Ofce of Arts and Culture, the Lackawanna County Library System and Keystone College.
