Fun Day
AVOCA - U.S. Army Spe-
cialist Shamus McGuigan,
22, was stunned when he
walked off his plane to a
large group of family,
friends and supporters
anxiously awaiting his
arrival waving American
flags at the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton International
Airport on June 7. A bag-
piper played God Bless
America as McGuigan
made his way through the
crowd. The Clarks Summit
resident was overwhelmed
by the show of support.
I was super surprised,
McGuigan said. I was
expecting just my mom,
my brother and one of my
brothers friends, then I
see a TV camera and I was
like Oh my God, and
then they started cheering.
I was shocked. I was a
little embarrassed. I didnt
know what to say. I was
real happy. All my friends

Lolita Robinson Sax, class of
1950, said she cherishes her
days fromthe high school
cheerleading squad.
We certainly had fun, said
Sax. We enjoyed it because we
got to go to all the games. I
made really good friends on the
cheerleading squad.
Back then, the boys all want-

and the girls all wanted to be
cheerleaders.
However, Sax wasnt always
interested in cheerleading. She
originally wanted to be a bas-

FLAG DAY TRIBUTE
POSTCARD COURTESY JACK HIDDLESTONE
Postmarked 1908 in
Binghamton, N.Y.,
this antique post-
card created by P.
Sander, is shared
with Abington
Journal readers by
Clarks Summit
author and collector
Jack Hiddlestone.
Flag Day, which
celebrates the
anniversary of the
Flag Resolution of
1777, was officially
established by the
Proclamation of
President Woodrow
Wilson May 30,
1916. While Flag
Day was celebrated
in various commu-
nities for years after
Wilsons proclama-
tion, it was not until
Aug. 3, 1949 that
President Harry
Truman signed an
Act of Congress
designating June
14 of each year as
National Flag Day.
The postcard dem-
onstrates that long
before the official
adoption, the flag
was in hearts and
minds.
The Griffin Pond Animal Shelter,
Clarks Summit, host its annual Pet Walk
June 12. The event was held at Nay Aug
Park. This is the largest fundraiser of the
year for the shelter.

Whil e t he Roadshow wil l accept anyt hing
t hat s ol d, t hey wi l l be focusi ng on: gol d and
sil ver coins made before 1964, mil itar y items,
toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and
wrist wat ches. Scrap gol d is expect ed t o be a
popular categor y this week due to soaring gold
prices.
Buyers for the roadshow have noticed a tre-
mendous increase in the amount of gold coming
to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record
gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on
broken or out dat ed j ewel r y wi t h our fair and
honest purchase offers.
The Roadshow encourages anyone planning
a visit to take a minute and examine their jew-
elry box or their lock box at the bank and gather
anyt hi ng t hat i s gol d. I f a guest i s not sure i f
somet hi ng i s gol d, bri ng i t anyways and t he
Roadshow st af f wil l t est it for free. Ot her gol d
items of interest include gold coins, gold ounc-
es, gold proof sets and dental gold.
Ot her t ypes of it ems Roadshow special ist s
hope to see include old toys and train sets. Ar-
chie Davis, the Roadshows toy specialist, spoke
about some of the top toys getting great of fers.
Ol d t i n wi nd- up t oys f r om t he l at e 1800s
t hrough t he 1960s are in great demand right
now, sai d Davi s, especi al l y t hose t hat ar e
character related. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,
t he Fl int st ones or any ot her charact er t oys are
sought after. Old Buddy L toys from the 1920s
to the 1960s are especially
in high demand. Basical l y
any toys made before 1965
are wanted. Train sets made
by Li onel , Amer i can Fl yer,
Marklin and others have the
pot ent i al t o f et ch a l ar ge
sum. Davi s al so st r essed,
Toys with boxes and in mint
condit ion bring sensat ional
prices. Most of the toys that
come t o t he Roadshow are
not i n per f ect shape, but
can st i l l bri ng good pri ces
from collectors.
When s peci al i s t Tom
Ful l er was asked what he
enjoyed most about working
at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, Old
coins and paper currencyfor as long as I can
remember, I have been fascinated with col l ect -
ing coins. I would go through the change in my
parent s grocer y st ore, l ooki ng f or rare dat es
and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I
sold for $300. Not bad for an 8 year old.
Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins
made before 1964 are the most sought after by
col l ect ors. Coins made before 1964 are 90%
silver, and valuable because of either the silver
content or even more valuable if one happens to
be a rare date. Fuller explained, We help peo-
ple sort through their coins for unique dates. We
buy al l t ypes of coi ns at t he Roadshowfrom
wheat pennies to buf falo nickels, and from sin-
gl e coi ns t o ent i re t ruckl oads. See you at t he

I was real happythat they

Shamus mother Beth

were thrilledtobe able to
doit.
Shamus McGuiganwas

for us it was like uhoh, now
things are gonna get a little bit
worse, but we didnt see anyof
it, he said. We were pumped
because its closure for the
individual families whowere

a little worriedat the same time
for ourselves.

The Robert A. Preate Memorial
Park Walk/Run in honor of the
Clarks Summit Borough Centen-
nial Celebration was held June 11.
The event began and ended at
Robert A. Preate Memorial Park
and featured a three-mile walk, a
three-mile run and a five-mile run.
Robert A. Preate died November
2002 at age 58. About a year after
that, the Clarks Summit Borough
named the park after him. He had
been a Clarks Summit citizen since
the 1970s and a borough solicitor.
He was very modest, said his
daughter Jacquelyn Preate, 28, who
came up with the idea of the walk/
run with the help of Gerrie Carey,
Clarks Summit Borough Council
president.
Laughter filled the room as
Girl Scouts enjoyed one an-
others company and relaxed
for a moment in time at their
Service Unit Tea party June 7
at Armettas in Chinchilla.
People need to know that
being a Girl Scout isnt just
about selling cookies, said
Girl Scout Leader Vicky
Vargo. We do a lot of ser-
vice projects like the Hallo-
ween tour at the Waverly
Community House and an
Easter egg hunt at the New-
ton Rec Center, every year.
Vargo is also the service
project chair, alongside with
her husband Al, who serves
as the service project manag-
er.
Melissa Durante, 17, is one
of the seniors from the troop
who will be moving onto
college in the fall. Durante
will wrap up her many years
by completing her Gold
Award.
This award is really hard
to get approved, said Vicky
Vargo. I always encourage
my girls to work for their
goals. This award is especial-
ly important because it opens
up a lot of opportunities and
provides many scholarships.
With her title as Ambassa-
dor, the last stage of the Girl
Scout journey, Durante took
on the four steps necessary
for the Gold Award, ultimate-
ly leading to one big, self-
inspired project.
First Durante had to com-
plete the Silver Award, which
consisted of a book activity
called a journey book.
Once Durante met with her
advisor, they gathered ideas
for her final project. As ideas
bounced around, Durante had
one special one in mind,
which led her to create a
proposal and send it to the
Girl Scout Council.
I was told to pick some-
thing that I really love be-
cause I would be spending a
lot of time on it, said Du-
rante.
Durantes proposal was
soon approved and her plan-
ning took off in full swing.
For her project, Durante col-
lected volunteers from local
dance schools and worked in
coordination with Friends of
the Poor, whose mission is to
ease the burden of living in
poverty and enhance the
quality of life for all who live
in low to moderate-income
communities.
Dance is something that I
spend a lot of my time doing
so I wanted other kids to
have that opportunity, Du-
rante said.
The first class will start in
July at a recreational building
located in Scranton. The
class will be held once a
week for a six-week span.
Right now I am still gath-
ering volunteers and kids are
starting to sign up, but there
is still a lot of planning to get
done, said Durante.
At the end of the summer,
Durante will send her final
report to the Girl Scout
Council and look forward to
receiving her Gold Award.
Durantes passion for dance
and determination throughout
the years simultaneously
come together to help her
meet one of her biggest goals
and will soon be starting the
next chapter of her life.
Im sad to see her go,
said Vargo.
Girl Scouts celebrate service
ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/JESSIE FOX

BY JESSIE FOX
ABINGTONS- The Emer-
ald Ash Borer is a beetle
and an exotic pest that made
its way from Asia into Mi-
chigan in 2002 via wooden
containers infested with lar-
vae from the beetles, accord-
ing to John Maza, the De-
partment of Conservation
and Natural Resources
(DCNR)
service
forester for
Wayne and
Lackawan-
na Coun-
ties.
Accord-
ing to
http://dcnr.state.pa.us, the
beetle has claimed tens of
millions of ash trees and has
been detected in the United
States in Ohio, Maryland,
Virginia, Indiana, Illinois,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Missouri, Minne-
sota, Kentucky and New
York and in the Canadian
provinces of Ontario and
Quebec.
The DCNR Bureau of
Forestry is part of a multi-
agency task force established
to detect and manage the
invasive threat of the Emer-
ald Ash Borer to Pennsylva-
nia Ash trees. DCNR is
working with the USDA/
APHIS, USDA Forest Ser-
vice, the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture and
the Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity Cooperative Exten-
sion, as noted on its website.
Maza noted, They (lar-
vae) turned into adults and
emerged and they got loose.
The infestation is spreading
across North America from
Michigan as its nucleus in
all directions. It is already in
Pennsylvania.
He described the beetle as
1/8-inch long, with a shiny
green color.
Its unfortunate that
theyre so destructive. They
infect any ash species. Here
in our part of the state, we
mainly have white ash that
occurs naturally. There are
white ash and green ash
trees in Pennsylvania but we
mostly have white ash here.
Its not species specific; its
any ash but only ash that is
affected.
To help locally, Maza en-
courages residents to avoid
planting ash trees and sug-
gest they consider other spe-
cies such as oak, maple and
honey locust.
Abington Area Joint Rec-
reation Board member Diane
Vietz said, It is great for us
to have this timely informa-
tion from John and DCNR-
they are great resource for
our park. The AAJRB un-
derstands the function of
trees in terms of the envi-
ronment and as a source of
outdoor recreation. We want
to preserve the integrity and
beauty of the 100 acres here
at Abington Area Communi-
ty Park.
She added, The EAB is
one threatening outsider we
may not keep out of Pa., but
by following the sound ad-
vice to not plant any more
ash trees at this time and to
not transport wood across
affected county lines, we can
limit the threat to our Pa.
landscapes, and this gem of
a park.
Maza noted that the life of
the Emerald Ash Borer be-
gins as the adults lay the
eggs slightly unfurled in the
bark. The eggs hatch and the
larvae burrow through the
bark and into the cambium
of the tree, the layer between
the bark and the wood. They
(the larvae) mine out dis-
tinctive s-shaped galleries
and eat away at the tree.
When they emerge as an
adult they make a D-shaped
hole with a flat spot.
Affected trees typically die
within three to four years of
infestation.
The Emerald Ash Borer
attacks the tree from the
upper branches and works its
way down and it is not evi-
dent until the infestation is
so great that the emerging
holes lower down on the tree
are visible.
As a precaution, author-
ities are limiting the trans-
port of round wood such as
logs and firewood in and out
of the quarantined areas
without a permit and every-
thing needs to be inspected.
Purple rectangular-shaped
traps have been set up
throughout the state and
beetles captured in the traps
are collected and returned to
a laboratory for identifica-
tion.

RANSOMTWP. At the
RansomTownship meeting
June 6 held at Mount Dewey
Community Hall, Rion
Stann, a resident who lives on
Dark Region Road asked if
surveillance has been in-
creased on the road since the
May 9 accident in which
22-month-old Cole T. Hazel-
ton was killed.
South Abington Police
Chief Robert Gerrity said,
Yes, but that road is always
going to be an issue.
Stann said that he was at
the meeting on behalf of the
people who live on Dark
Region Road, and that they
all want the road to be gated
Also discussed at the meet-
ing was the Falling Springs
Plan, which the township has
been reviewing since 2002.
Falling Springs Estates is a
proposed private community
that will house approximately
52 lots of land on Falling
Springs Drive, according to
co-owner of the land Edward
Bush. The plan is in phase
one, in which 22 lots on half
of the property are going to
be sold for residential homes.
Supervisors voted to approve
the plan contingent upon
written approval fromTown-
ship Engineer John Seamans.
The next meeting of Ran-
somTownship will be held
July 5 at 7 p.m. on Hickory
Lane.
off where the narrowdirt part
is located. Therefore, in order
to get in, all the residents
would have to have some
type of key or swipe card.
We need some more tools
down there, said Stann.
Otherwise the speed limit
signs are just decorations,
and one thing we would like
to see is that gated off.
Township Supervisor Den-
nis Macheska said super-
visors will meet with the
solicitor to see if gating part
of the road is feasible.
The board of supervisors
has been seeking an emer-
gency management agency
coordinator. Supervisors
voted to give Charles Saxe
the position.

before returning to Abing-
ton Heights Middle
School .
Roy was greeted by her
classmates, who lined the
sidewalks with signs con-
gratulating her on her
achievement.
It was really amazing. I
couldnt believe that ev-
eryone was out here sup-
porting me and cheering
me on, said Roy.
And it was really great
to be back because I real-
ly did miss Abington
Heights Middle School in
the two weeks I was away.
So it was so great to
see all these familiar
faces and see the school
again.
An assembly was held
in the school auditorium
with a video highlighting
Roys journey, from win-
ning the spelling bee to
her appearances on CNN,
Live! With Regis and
Kelly, Jimmy Kimmel
Live and her meeting in
the Oval Office with Pres-
ident Barack Obama.
The one word I think
we all know how to spell
is pride, and thats what
this all about today
pride, said Lackawanna
County Commissioner Co-
rey OBrien.
OBrien and Lackawanna
County Commissioner Mi-
chael Washo were two of
the special guests in at-
tendance at the assembly.
The two congratulated
Roy, and Washo presented
her with a proclamation
from the Lackawanna
County Commissioners,
OBrien, Washo and A.J.
Munchak, that declared
Monday, June 13, 2011, as
Sukanya Roy Day in
Lackawanna County.
Other special guests in
attendance Monday were
Abington Heights School
Board Superintendent Mi-
chael Mahon and State
Senator John Blakes Re-
gional Director Lawrence
D. West.
On June 8, Blake in-
troduced a Senate Resolu-
tion honoring Roy for
winning the Scripps Na-
tional Spelling Bee.
West extended an in-
vitation to Roy and her
family to receive the reso-
lution on the Senate floor
in Harrisburg some time
next week.
Lieutenant Governor Jim
Cawley and Governor Tom
Corbett were unable to
attend the assembly, but
each sent a proclamation
congratulating Roy on her
achievement. The procla-
mations were read by
Abington Heights Middle
School Assistant Principal
Eduardo Anotonetti.
In addition to congrat-
ulating Roy, Mahon took
the opportunity to encour-
age the rest of the stu-
dents in attendance to
look at her achievement
as inspiration to fuel their
own success.
Perhaps through one of
the students in this room
is a world-class novel, or
perhaps there will be an
extraordinary piece of mu-
sic produced in this room.
Perhaps someone who is
working so hard in our
robotics program will de-
velop something that will
change the lives of thou-
sands of people, said
Mahon.
Maybe that will hap-
pen, because we know
that it can. And, more
fundamentally, it is un-
likely that any of us will
be in the Oval Office
anytime soon, but her ex-
ample tells us that all of
us can do great things.
Also in attendance on
Monday were Roys par-
ents Abhi and Mousumi
Roy.

DALTON- A Bible Boot Camp
will be offered at Grace Baptist
Church in Dalton from June 19
through 23. This event is a vaca-
tion bible school free to children
ages 5 to 12 that will be held
from 6 to 8:30 p.m. each day.
The program will be a week of
games, crafts, stories, songs and
military moments with its goal
to introduce children to Bible
stories, said organizer Hannah
Weeks.
The military theme allows us
to look at stories, such as David
and Goliath and the Battle of
Jericho, said Weeks. We try to
pick a different theme each year
and do stories that children
might be familiar with from
songs or other stories.
The organizers said that chil-
dren already have a perspective
about the military through TV
and movies. They aim to show a
new perspective by inviting
guest speakers with military
background to discuss their
values. Children may preregister
for this event online at http://
gbchurch.us or at the church
upon arrival. Snacks will be
provided each evening. A clos-
ing program and picnic for
parents to attend will be held
June 23 at 6 p.m.
Grace Baptist Church is locat-
ed on Pine Tree Drive, Dalton.
For details, call 570.407.2560 or

children to Bible Boot Camp
BY PETER SALVA
and dad got me a basketball
because I really wanted to play,
but I was eliminated the first
day because I was so short.
However, I still like basketball
and play with my grandsons.
Sax first became interested in
cheerleading because her
neighbor was a member of the
squad. She was about three
years older than me, and I saw
her do it and thought it looked
fun, she said. She made me
enthusiastic for cheerleading.
Sax tried out for cheerleading
her freshman year of high
school. I came with my friends
Ernestine and Nancy from
Chinchilla to Clarks Summit to
try out. We all made the squad,
so that was really nice.
In addition to cheering for
football games, the squad also
cheered for all of the basketball
and some baseball games.
We took all the trips on the
buses and so forth, it was nice,
added Sax.
Sax said the squad practiced
frequently. However, they didnt
do tumbling or pyramids, nor
did they participate in competi-
tions. It was strictly cheerlead-
ing then, she said.
Thats not the only difference
fromtodays squads.
The uniforms were an A-
line skirt with a pleat in the
front and back and they were
down to our knees, not as short
as the uniforms are now, said
Sax. We also wore the typical
heavy sweaters with the big S
for Summit on them. Now,
sometimes they have nice out-
fits, but they are more girly and
not as athletic looking. We were
more out there to cheer the team
on and get crowd participation.
I was back last fall for my
class reunion and honestly, I
didnt hear the people in the
stands doing much cheering.
They were just kind of there. It
wasnt like that when we were
there. You had a lot of participa-
tion fromthe audience.
In addition to cheerleading,
Sax was involved in the chorus,
yearbook committee and gym-
nastics team.
If I had to do it over now, I
think its better for the girls to be
athletes than cheerleaders, said
Sax. I think there are more
scholarships and things like that
for girls that are athletes, as
opposed to cheerleaders.
However, Sax said she en-
joyed being a cheerleader and
made a great group of friends.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE15, 2011 THE ABINGTON JOURNALCLARKS SUMMIT, PA WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM PAGE11A
It was 1977 and I was a skin-
ny fourth grader. It was the first
year where popularity came
into play. Before then, pink and
pigtails were still acceptable.
Suddenly, the girls started to
break off into cliques and the
boys were circulating lists of
which girls they thought were
pretty. (I was never on the A
list.)
I couldnt figure out why, but
the most popular girl in my
grade picked me for a best
friend. Erin was the youngest
of three, the only girl born to
older parents who both had
huge careers. She had two
much older brothers who were
legends in our town. One was
the captain of the high school
team, courted by Big Ten
recruiters; the other an ex-
tremely handsome, high-paid
male model in Manhattan. Erin
was aloof and in control. She
wore faded Jordache jeans and
slim, cotton shirts layered over
Izods, neither of which my
momwould spend the money
on. She had an in-ground pool,
central air, two big Labrador
Retrievers and a house at the
shore.
That summer, I spent every
minute at Erins that my mom
would allow. Most weekend
nights, Erins parents hosted
parties. The football coach was
among their guests, along with
the entire football team, the
cheerleaders and often their
younger brothers. Erins family
friends were the coolest people
in town, none of whomwould
give me a second glance a few
years later.
But there was something
strange going on at Erins
house, something I couldnt
admit to anyone, not even my
mom. Erin was mean to me a
lot of the time. She liked to
throwme down on the ground
when no one else was around,
often at night on her huge roll-
ing lawn on the way down to
the pool. Aparty would be
raging and I could see the
lights and hear the laughter
coming frominside the
screened-in porch where every-
one gathered around the keg.
After a struggle, Id let her pin
me so we could move onto our
late-night swim.
At school, Erin ruled. She
had designated a seat in the
cafeteria as her own and had
told the rest of our group where
to sit. One day, she was out sick
and I sat in her seat. I was
standing there holding my
lunch tray the next day when
someone told her and she
slapped me across the face.
Wednesday was gymday. I
had my sneakers in a plastic
bag on my desk as everyone
filed into the roomfromthe
buses that morning. When the
teacher called us to our seats, I
noticed that one sneaker was
missing. I was looking around
wondering when Jeff Moore
leaned over and whispered into
my ear.
Erin took it. I sawher go in
the girls room.
Just then, Erin reentered the
classroomand took her seat.
As soon as there was a break in
our lesson, I excused myself. I
entered the girls roomand
pushed open each stall until I
found it. The back of my
sneaker was just sticking out of
the water, the rest of the shoe
having been flushed into the
hole below. I held back tears,
just as I had the time Id proud-
ly worn my newbright yellow
Chinos and the first Izod Id
ever owned to school and shed
had a comment for me: What
are you wearing?
In sixth grade, people within
our group started talking to
each other. One day it was a
whisper behind Erins back, the
next it was a cold shoulder in
the lunch line. In art class, we
were told to break into small
groups to do a project and our
group formed around the post-
er board, only someone told
Erin there was no roomfor her.
That afternoon as she got off
the bus, one of our friends
pulled down the window.
Loser! was what they
yelled as she walked away.
That night at dinner the
phone rang. My mothers face
went sheet-white as she lis-
tened. It was Erins father call-
ing fromthe hospital. She had
taken a whole bottle of Tylenol.
She was coming around after
having had her stomach
pumped and she wanted to talk
to me. My mother passed me
the phone and I heard her very
small voice.
Are you still my friend?
Yeah, sure, I answered just
as quietly. Do you want me to
come see you?
Thats OK, she said. Ill
see you in school.
When she came back several
weeks later, we were all
changed. The cliques were
gone. The extreme hierarchy of
popular to geek was no longer.
People were quieter, gentler,
more careful.
Erin and I became acquaint-
ances. We were cordial to each
other and I think silently cheer-
ed each other on fromafar.
Erin went on to have friends,
but kept a lowprofile through-
out high school.
Whenever my kids come
home with a mean girl or a
bully story, I think of Erin. I let
themknowthat I will do any-
thing I can to support them,
and if need be, I will make its
my lifes mission to protect
them. Then we talk about the
bully and what his or her life
might be like at home.

Owner Ray Petty, 25, said the
store is more like a co-op, which
allows this type of business to be
a little more localized, rather than
accommodating to a cookie -cutter
feel.
Fresh summer flowers border the
entrance as staff members line the
aisles with tips and answers to
questions.
Pettys inspiration began with his
fathers interest in ACE Hardware
at a trade show.
The name may be familiar in all
different areas, but this franchise
allows for the owner to make a
unique connection in any towns
surroundings.
It was a great opportunity and I
wanted to start doing something on
my own, said Petty. I didnt have
any prior engagements, it just kind
of all came about two years ago.
Petty has been involved in this
business for about three or four
years and has grown up learning
the ropes from his father.
Upon graduating high school,
Petty had a goal to become a ma-
jor part in the business world but
never really centralized his inter-
ests.
With determination and belief in
himself, Petty branched out to start
something that he could call his
own.
This all worked out really well
for me, said Petty.
The grand opening red and white
flags for ACE Hardware still dance
in the wind as the business slowly
starts to build character and meet
the needs of more locals.
The business in Clarks Summit
is getting there and I know it has
good potential, Petty said.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Basilicos Pizze-
ria Restaurant, 100 Highland Ave.,
Clarks Summit is marking its fourth
week under new management as Rosa-
rios Pizza.
Owner Rosario Bevilacqua, of Oly-
phant, said he is excited to be in the
Clarks Summit area.
The people are nice and this area
offers a great opportunity for busi-
ness, said Bevilacqua. I see room for
improvement and I like the challenge.
Pizza is the biggest seller at Rosa-
rios, but Bevilacqua aims to expand
the menu to include more items from
the kitchen. Rosarios hopes to widen
the range of customers. Bevilacqua
wants people to give it a chance. Al-
though Rosarios is located in the
same building as the former Basilicos,
the owner said it is different.
He noted that there is a lot for cus-
tomers to look forward to with a visit
to the new company.
Bevilacqua said they plan to offer
amenities to customers, such as free
drink refills.
He also said he plans to lower pric-
es, add menu items, such as subs, and
make menu changes.
Recipes will be the same but a new
menu will be available in the next few
weeks.
Its friendly, said Bevilacqua.

CLARKS GREEN - After serving at the Church of St.
Gregory in Clarks Green for nearly 35 years, Monsig-
nor John Louis will be bidding his church farewell in
July. More than 1,100 guests joined to celebrate Louis
career at a service and picnic June 13 on the church
lawn near Our Lady of Peace School.
The celebration, which coincided with the Feast of
Pentecost, included a procession lead by 18 priests and
Diocese of Scranton Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus John
M. Dougherty. Msgr. Louis was also the recipient of a
newly inscribed granite bench situated on the lawn be-
tween the church and the rectory.
Looking back on his time at St. Gregorys, Msgr.
Louis said he has many fond memories. His connection
to the parish school, Our Lady of Peace, is the source
for many.
A lot of memories are around the school, he said.
Students graduating and going on to bigger things. He
also commented that the many weddings, baptisms and
other sacramental events were always highlights.
Upon retirement, he is planning a trip to Rome for a
sabbatical program that will extend from Sept. to Nov.
After nearly 35 years with his parish, Msgr. Louis said
that he is ready to move on. While he is mostly happy
about his retirement, there is still some sadness.
Its a little bit of both, he said. He officially begins
his retirement July 11.

I cant believe we are
already into the middle of
June! In less than two
weeks, one of the Die-
trichs biggest events of
2011 will be here. Can you
guess what it is? If you
figured out that I am talk-
ing about Bridal Bliss: A
Runway Retrospective
Show, you are correct. On
Sunday, June 26, at 1 p.m.,
the historical evolution of
bridal attire will be show-
cased with beautiful
gowns, music and floral
bouquets from the 1920s to
present day.
Margie Young, the Die-
trichs program director,
and I were able to sit in on
the final dress rehearsal,
and let me tell you, it is
going to be quite an occa-
sion! There will be live
music, dancing and, of
course, gorgeous gowns. I
think what makes the show
especially touching is that
the gowns that are featured
belong to local brides.
When they are modeled,
you are treated to personal
anecdotes about each
brides wedding day, their
proposal and more. The
show is not only entertain-
ing but it allows you to
experience a part of our
local history. Believe me,
Dietrich Theater board
member Annette Sheldon
has organized a truly mas-
terful production.
If you have yet to buy
your tickets, I would en-
courage you to make your
reservations now. Advance
tickets are $40 and can be
purchased by calling
570.996.1500. Proceeds
will support cultural pro-
gramming at the Dietrich
Theater.
Did I mention that a
dessert reception will fol-
low the show? Thats right.
We will be treated to a
variety of delicious de-
lights provided by Sweet
Sensations, Chocolates by
Leopold, Dee Dees De-
lights, Ah! Some Choco-

CHINCHILLA - The Diva
Theater will break in its
new home with an old clas-
sic when they present Our
Town starting June 17, at
the United Methodist
Church of Chinchilla, Fel-
lowship Hall.
Written by Thornton Wil-
der, the play, which tells the
story of an average towns
citizens between 1901 and
1913, as depicted through
their everyday lives, will be
the first production the the-
ater company will present at
the church.
particularly George
Gibbs, a doctors son, and
Emily Webb, the daughter
of the towns newspaper
editor,
For the past two years,
Diva Theater has called the
Phoenix Theater in Duryea
home, but in response to
requests from her company
members, founder Paige
Balitski decided to move
closer to the Abingtons.
The bulk of my concern
about being in Duryea, not
that you have to pack a
lunch to be in Duryea, but
most of the actors and peo-
ple that work with me are
all from this end of the val-
ley, and they kind of wanted
to stay in the area, said
Balitski.
At the same time Balitski
was looking for a space,
United Methodist Church
pastor Tony Schwartz, thea-
ter director of the Lakeside
Players, was trying to find
different activities the
church could host.
Its like everything else,
its someone who knows
someone, said Balitski.
The gentleman who is the
pastor here, Tony Schwartz,
is a member of the North-
eastern Theatrical Alliance
that we belong to.
Schwartz heard Balitski
was looking for a space and
offered the group his
church. Balitski said so far
the arrangement has been
going great.
Theyre thrilled to have
us here, said Balitski.
Diva Theater will perform
one last play at the Phoenix
Theater, an original work
written by K.K. Gordon, in
September. Then the group
will produce The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever at
the church in December.
But before that theyll per-
form Our Town.
We decided with it being
the first production based
out of the church that this
would be a really good fam-
ily show to put on here, and
Ive already directed it
once So, I know the
show, said director Tim
Hutchins.
While this is the first
production Hutchins has
directed for Diva, he said he
was aware of some of the
cast members after acting
alongside them in Divas
Christmas Carol in 2010.
He said he knew they had
the talent to fill the roles.
I knew this would be a
good show, said Hutchins.
I knew Paige had the
cast members from her Diva
family and they would step
up and fill these roles. It
was just a no-brainer.
In Our Town, George
Gibbs, a doctors son, and
Emily Webb, the daughter
of the towns newspaper
editor are the primary char-
acters. Balitski said two of
the most difficult roles in
the play to cast were the
leads of Emily and George.
They have to go from
(ages) 14 and 15 to 18, 19,
within 20 or so pages of
script, and then to 29, said
Balitski.Those involved in
casting were then left to the
task of finding two actors
who could look age appro-
priate, but were also rough-
ly the same age.
We were very concerned,
and we were not going to
have a 19-year-old young
man playing opposite a 14-
or 15-year-old girl, said
Balitski.
Thankfully, through audi-
tions, Diva Theater found
Sarah Opshinsky, 18, Scran-
ton, to play Emily and Josh-
ua Frank, 19, Clarks Sum-
mit, to play George.
He really makes a great
George, and she is just in-
fectious, said Balitski.

SCRANTON- As the father
of a 3-year-old, stand-up come-
dian Joe Matarese said his main
goal in life is to make sure his
son turns out better than he did.
In an effort to achieve this
task, Matarese said there are
some things about himself he
needs to fix, and hell be shar-
ing some of those things in his
one-man show Fixing Joe,
playing at the Electric Theatre
Company June 17 and 18, at 8
p.m.
I think every dad says, I
want him to turn out better than
me, but the hard part is you
just end up doing the same
things to them that were done to
you, because its so ingrained,
and its hard to break that dys-
function, said Matarese.
I dont want him to grow up
and say he wants to become a
comedian. Thats how you can
gauge if youre a successful
parent. If your kid wants to be a
comedian, you failed.
A stand-up comedian for the
past 20 years with appearances
on Chelsea Lately, The Late
Show with David Letterman
and his own Comedy Central
half-hour special, Matarese first
performed in the area in Janu-
ary at the 20th Ward in Pittston.
The show was put together by
local comedian Paul Spratt,
who took a stand-up class from
Matarese and put him in touch
with the Electric Theatre Com-
pany.
Originally, Spratt was booked
as the opening act for Fixing
Joe, but, during the past few
weeks, Matarese has found the
show works better without an
opening act.
I did a tryout a few weeks
ago where another friend
opened for me, and I couldnt
get the audience to stop laugh-
ing, said Matarese. They
thought it was another stand-up
act. What Im going for with
Fixing Joe is something more
traditionally theatrical.
The concept for Fixing Joe
began about five years ago as a
pitch for a television show.
While the television show never
materialized, Matarese liked the
concept and eventually turned
the idea into a podcast.
Each week, Matarese and his
co-host, comedian Danny Lo-
bell, turn to their listeners,
guest, friends and family look-
ing for help for him to try and
solve whatever Matarese is
dealing with that week.
The podcast led to the one-
man show, which Matarese has
been performing and working
on for a little less than a year.
He described the show as
being in an evolving stage, and
said hes still changing a few
things but the initial audience
reaction has been positive.
Its been much more reward-
ing than stand-up, said Mata-
rese.
After a stand-up set, people
will come up to you say, thats
funny, but after these shows,
people will come up and want
to have long conversations
about it.
Trying to improve himself to
help out his child, Matarese said
theres a lot of material with
which father and sons can iden-
tify.
He also explores his relation-
ship with his psychologist wife
and what its like to be married
to your complete opposite.
Its a good husband and wife
show too, said Matarese.
The show will also act as a
fundraiser for the Electric The-
atre Company.

cast, visit http://www.comical-

Young said, We faced
some challenges. Women
of those ages were shorter
and much smaller than
women of today. But we
managed and the show
went on.
The displays, which fea-
ture not only dresses, but
personal accessories, like
purses, shoes and even a
wedding certificate, will
be on display throughout
June and July during
scheduled movie times
and other performances.
With more than 20 cast
members modeling, the
show aims to offer many
facets.
Personal stories will
offer reflections on each
dress mentioned. Music
from the era will match
styles. Dresses from the
Victorian Court, shown by
Kathy Chorbas Queen
Victorias Court, will be
shown during the finale.
Proceeds from the show
will benefit the Dietrich
Theater.
Advance tickets cost
$40; tickets at the door
cost $45, if available. The
show will be held June
26 at 1 p.m. with a dess-
ert reception will follow.

Framing Faith: A Pictorial
History of Communities of
Faith, written by Sarah Picci-
ni with photography by Ivana
Pavelka and ARTS Engage!,
tells the story of the faith of
immigrants and their descend-
ants, spotlighting 10 Catholic
churches in the Diocese of
Scranton that were closed due
to restructuring.
The churches, Sacred Heart,
Mayfield; St. Anthony Of
Padua, Scranton; St. Joseph,
Scranton; Holy Family, Scran-
ton; St. John The Evangelist,
Scranton; St. Mary Of The
Assumption, Scranton; St.
Mary Czestochowa, Scranton;
St. John The Baptist, Taylor;
Immaculate Conception, Tay-
lor and St. Michael, Old Forge
have rich ethnic heritages.
They are Polish, Slovak, Ital-
ian, German and Lithuanian
parishes with long traditions
and deep roots. According to
the author, each church was
founded by immigrant groups
who came to the coal fields of
the Lackawanna Valley with
little more than their faith in
God. Their churches served as
the center of the community
and touchstones of the Old
Country. Framing Faith traces
their histories from small
beginnings through baptisms,
weddings and funerals to their
final celebrations. Throughout
the text are images from each
church, visual reminders of
what was for many an impor-
tant part of their lives. Piccini
graduated from The Uni-
versity of Scranton with a
degree in History and Com-
munications. In 2010, she
received a Masters degree in
History focusing on the ethnic
and labor history of the Lack-
awanna Valley. She collab-
orates with the Lackawanna
Historical Society on many
projects and programs, and
serves the Vice President of
the board for the Anthracite
Heritage Museum and Iron
Furnaces Associates.
Pavelka is a co-founder and
co-manager of the photo-
graphic gallery Camerawork
in Scranton and is a profes-
sional photographer who has
had solo and group shows.

WAVERLY - This month,
children ages four through
nine will have the opportunity
to learn to draw under the
guidance of artist Bill Chickil-
lo, Dalton, during the summer
art camp at the Waverly Com-
munity House.
Chickillo, who is currently
teaching at the Penn State
Wilkes -Barre campus, will
improve students drawing
skills by helping them be
aware of how they see things
in terms of visual elements
such as shape, value, contrast
and color.
Observation skill is the
key, said Chickillo.
Having recently finished a
residency at the Waverly Ele-
mentary School, Bill Chickil-
lo will help students apply
math and science to what they
see, allowing them to apply it
to a composition that becomes
their own.
A student needs to be able
to see that, he continued.
Key things in drawing
include- can you count, can
you measure and can you read
a value?
During the camp, the artist
is looking forward to helping
students with hand -eye coor-
dination exercises and to vis-
iting different surroundings
around the Waverly Commu-
nity House to draw.
The camp will cost $125,
which includes all materials.
Classes begin June 20
through 25, 9 a.m. to noon.
The Waverly Community
House is located at 1115 North
Abington Rd., Waverly.
Fore more information call
570.586.8191.
Chickillo is also an owner
of the Skylake Gallery in
Fleetville. For more informa-
tion on the gallery, visit http://

in her gardens, cooking,
reading, walking in the
woods with her dogs Rosie

home available to all. She
made time for many activ-
ities and pursuits, but the
cornerstone of her life was
her selfless commitment to
her family, friends and com-

SOUTH ABINGTON
TWP.- The Abington Coun-
cil of Governments hosted a
special meeting this month
June 2 at the South Abing-
ton Township Building, 104
Shady Lane Road, to fur-
ther discuss council mem-
ber Lee Jamisons idea of
creating a system to aid
townships and municipal-
ities in tracking down
earned income tax monies
that were not properly dis-
tributed. Representatives
from the accounting firm
Friedman LLP, CO, spoke
at the meeting concerning
the process.
David Firestone from
Friedman LLP, who does
most of the forensic ac-
counting for the firm,
stated that he had already
contacted the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue and
was familiar with the is-
sues. He also stated that his
firm has a very good track
record when working with
clients and that a cost for
doing the appropriate re-
search would be difficult to
estimate this early in the
process.
What we can do is be as
fair as possible, Firestone
said.
Later, however, he stated
that once they began look-
ing into the paperwork, it
would be possible to esti-
mate the cost and therefore
enable the municipalities to
decide if they wished to
pursue the investigation.
His colleague, Carl H. Ba-
gell, added that since the
council of governments is
already communicating
with the Department of
Revenue, it has a good
start.
Herman Johnson, council
member from Clarks Sum-
mit, said, I think we have
to look at the big picture. I
just want to see it straight-
ened out so it doesnt hap-
pen again.
Jamison echoed that sen-
timent. The Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue is
very eager to see these dis-
crepancies cleared up. He
also stated that his town-
ship of Newton was not
paid the missed earned in-
come tax monies until they
went after it.
Christine Griswold, the
wage tax collector for the
Abington Heights School
District, said that once Act
31 is in place, these dis-
crepancies should be clear-
ed up for the future and
delinquent funds could then
be tracked. You may be
stepping on toes and doing
double work, she said.
The council did not reach
any decisions about begin-
ning the process, as the
meeting was, as Jamison
put it, to illuminate the
possibilities. They will
continue to discuss the is-
sues as a group and as indi-
vidual communities.
ACOG consults on tax tracking
BY EMILY CULLEY
FACTORYVILLE - At the
Factoryville Borough Coun-
cil meeting held May 11,
Councilman Chris Bergey
mentioned that the new
surveillance camera has
been installed at the base-
ball field of Christy Math-
ewson Park. Right now, we
hooked up the one with the
possibility of having a few
other ones that are work-
ing.
I think everybody here
wouldve made the decision
to just get it done, said
Manager Mary Ellen Buck-
bee.
The quality of it is
great, said Bergey. It has
a one-terabyte hard drive on
it, so it could pretty much
go through the whole sum-
mer season without being
charged.
When asked if the camera
is safe from theft, Bergey
replied that it is locked in
the concession stand.
Theres one (camera) in
one corner and it shows the
outside of the one side and
the other side does the op-
posite, so the cameras over-
lap probably three quarters
of the pavilion. Plus, we
have one where the score-
board is. We have another
facing down to the pavilion,
and we got one down by the
dugout, one in the conces-
sion stand and one near the
restroom.
Bergey also mentioned
that the Overfield Township
Police Department visited
the park to review the new
surveillance system and
suggested putting cages on
the dome cameras under-
neath the pavilion. The
police also suggested to put
signs that say Surveil-
lance, said Bergey.
In other business, Buck-
bee mentioned in her man-
agers report that she has
been recently contacted by
the Wyoming County Con-
cerned Taxpayers Political
Action Committee. She said
that the committee asked
her if they can use the Fac-
toryville Borough building
on a rotating basis. She
asked the board what it
takes to qualify them to use
the building. After consid-
eration, Councilwoman
Genevieve Evans made a
motion to allow the com-
mittee to use the building.
The Wyoming County
Concerned Taxpayers
Committee may have the
right to use this building
assuming its not to be used
by some other group, said
Factoryville Borough Vice
President Tom Davis. The
board agreed.

The Employment Opportunity & Train-
ing Center of Northeastern PA (EOTC) in
Scranton recently received a $5,595 grant
from The Blue Ribbon Foundation of
Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania
to support parenting education for at-risk
families in Lackawanna County. Penn-
sylvanias Office of Child Development
and Early Learning reported that young
children in Lackawanna County are at
above-average risk for health and social-
emotional deficits based on rates of pov-
erty, child abuse and other factors.
EOTC Parents as Teachers Program
addresses the needs of these at-risk fam-
ilies by delivering a home-based curricu-
lum focused on improving parenting skills
and early intervention. This grant will
help EOTC serve 75 additional families
with its Parents as Teachers Home Vis-
iting Program in the coming year. Fam-
ilies will be visited by a Parents as Teach-
ers -certified educator twice each month.
Sessions will include health and devel-
opmental screenings for all children, and
coaching for parents on topics such as
guided parent-child interaction, hygiene,
appropriate parenting behavior and home
management skills.

Clarks Summit, Pa. JUNE 15 TO JUNE 21, 2011 50
CLARKS SUMMIT- In its
4th year, a field hockey youth
camp run by Lady Comets
Field Coach Michelle LaCoe
will be held at the South
Abington Park in South
Abington Twp. June 27
through July 1 from 9 a.m. to
noon. Girls entering into
grades two through eight are
invited to register.
In the morning, campers
will do warmups, which in-
clude games, skills and drills,
positioning. Beginners will
learn basics about field hock-
ey, such as what each line on
the field represents, the team
positions the responsibility of
each.
After a break, participants
will scrimmage, where they
put what they learned into
action. The Lady Comets
Varsity field hockey team
will help with the camp as
well. All proceeds from the
camp will benefit the varsity
field hockey team camp tui-
tion.
Groups will be divided by
age group into beginners and
advanced players.
The camp was started three
years ago by LaCoe because
she said the Abington area
did not offer many opportuni-
ties for youth field hockey.
LaCoe said she wanted to
give the opportunity to
young girls in our community
to be exposed to field hock-
ey. LaCoe had been involved
with field hockey camps
since she was in high school.
Due to the experience under
her belt, LaCoe said she
took the bull by the horns
and advertised by word of
mouth about the camp out to
the community. She said she
has seen a drastic improve-
ment in the girls game and
wins from attending the camp
when they were younger.
Because the community
recognizes the camp as an
annual event, the number of
participants in the camp has
increased each year. The
camp started out with 20 girls
and had increased to between
55 and 60 girls last year. La-
Coe also said she sees dra-
matic improvement in the
girls game from the first day
of camp to the last.LaCoes
philosophy on starting the
camp is, To educate young
kids on field hockey and have
them enjoy it at a younger
age and fall in love with it.
Attendees can register with
LaCoe by calling
570.586.7952. Cost is $50
and includes a free T-shirt.
Each camper will need a
mouth guard, shin guards and
cleats or sneakers. Sticks and
balls are provided.
Shown playing are Arla Davis and
Phoebe Sibring.

As the Northeast Pennsylvania
Miners team prepares to begin its
fifth season, owner and coach Dan
LaMagna is optimistic about the
teams chances on the field and off.
The Miners will return 30 players
when the season kicks off with an
exhibition game against the Electric
City Chargers June 25, 7 p.m. at
Nanticoke High School.
Last year was a rebuilding year.

more local guys, said LaMagna.
This year we brought back 30,
the year before we kept four, and we
were competitive last year despite
that big turnaround, but, and now
this year, expectations are very
high.
The returning players include
quarterback Justin Piontkowski,
who was voted captain of the team
for the second year in a row.
Also returning are Brian Alba,
Jesse Hinkley, Anthony Bodtmann
and Mike Berry.
The four were all selected for the
2010 MLF All-Star game, with
Bodtmann coming home with the
Keystone Defensive MVP award.
Theyre all back and theyre hav-
ing good camps, said LaMagna.
Last year, we didnt have the
roster that we needed. We got more
talent around these guys and I think
thats going to help these guys out.
LaMagana said he is also happy
with the fact that 90 percent of the
talent on his roster is local.
As weve watched this grow, one
of the things we wanted to accom-
plish is really getting a homegrown
team. I mean, dont get me wrong,
well take talent from anywhere, but
we want to get those athletes, the
Northeastern Pennsylvania talent,
said LaMagna.
LaMagna said, in the beginning
years, players were mainly coming
from Binghamton, Philadelphia and
New Jersey.

Mike Papi had given all
he had. The Tunkhannock
High School senior, mak-
ing his first start on the
mound in a full year, had
been brilliant through six
innings of baseball no
runs, no hits, two walks
and 10 strikeouts June 13.
What he had left was a
pep talk. As Chase Knott
prepared to take his place
on the mound for the fi-
nal frame, Papi went right
up to him.
Lets go, kid. You gotta
bring all you got, Papi
said.
Knott was not just
pitching to close out a
trip to the first state
championship game in
team history, but to get
there in style with a no-
hitter.
The Tigers did just that,
as Papi and Knott put up
all zeros in a historic 9-0
win over Blue Mountain
in the PIAA Class 3A
semifinals on Monday at
Kings Colleges Lipo
Field.
Cant even put into
words, Tigers coach Gary
Custer said of the experi-
ence. These guys earned
every minute of it.
Papi and Knott, a junior,
combined for seven in-
nings of no-hit ball, strik-
ing out 12. They faced
just two batters over the
minimum and were right

But, over the years, as the
team has grown a reputation
in the area, many area resi-
dents have started to try out,
something LaMagana be-
lieves will help the Miners
success on the field.
Back in the 70s and 80s,
when the Scranton Eagles
were here and they had that
tradition of winning cham-
pionships, they had a group
of guys that were always
together on and off the field.
They won a lot of games,
and were trying to develop
that chemistry, said LaMa-
gana.
Since practice began, the
team has become very close-
knit and theres always room
for more. With 51 of 60
available roster spots filled,
the Miners will be looking at
potential new players up
until the third week of the
season.
Members of the team are
unpaid, so as not to affect
their amateur status. Rather,
they are eligible to a number
of perks, including team
doctors and game film,
which has helped players
continue their football career
at another level.
This season, the Miners
management has also found
ways to increase exposure
for the players. Last season,
the team had one home game
broadcast on the My Net-
work TV; this year they will
have three.
The additional television
appearances are just one of a
number of activities LaMa-
gana, and his partner, co-
owner and general manger
Jason Muskey, have come up
with to spread the word
about the team.
Another is getting involved
with several charity orga-
nizations, which will be in
attendance at home games
during the season.
During the game, the team
will do a 50/50 raffle draw-
ing with half of the proceeds
going to the charity present
that night. That organization
will also have stands set up
with giveaways and interac-
tions set up with the fans.
The team also has two
youth football nights sched-
uled July 9 and 30. Any
child wearing a football jer-
sey will get into the game
for free.
Were going to get those
kids up close and personal,
said LaMagana. Were go-
ing to get them on the field
with the players by the pre-
game entrance, halftime punt
pass and kick events. The
kids will never get any clos-
er. And, youth football kids
love that, they want to get
close to these guys, and we
want our kids to be good
role models for the kids.
The players involvement
with the areas youth will not
stop with those games. The
team will also be participa-
ting in the 5th Annual NE-
PA Miners Charlie Wysocki
Camp August 1 from 10
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at LPI
Sports Complex.
The Miners season offi-
cially begins July 9, on their
home field at Scranton Me-
morial Stadium when the
team takes on the Red City
Outlaws. All of the teams
games are played on Sat-
urday, except in September
when one game will be held
September 11, in honor of
the tragedy that occurred in
2001.
The team will have a num-
ber of special events planned
for that game.

Scranton and one he just opened at
400 S. State St., Clarks Summit. He
said he is really concerned with teach-
ing children howto take care of them-
selves in situations at school or on the
streets.
Simrell also works for Goodwill on
Mondays and Thursdays as part of
their Goodguide Program, a mentor-
ing programwhere he and the chil-
dren meet at the Goodwill location on
Prospect Avenue in Scranton and he
teaches themMixed Martial Arts.
Thats a real cool program, said
Simrell. Its the first MMAprogram
with Goodwill ever in the history of
Goodwill, and it was started right in
Scranton by me, Stephanie Morgan
and Bo Hoban.
Simrell grewup in South Scranton
and started boxing when he was 10
and has had a passion for it every
since.
He opened his first Mixed Martial
Arts studio in1997 on Colburn Ave-
nue, Clarks Summit. Then he moved
to Penn Avenue, Scranton. After that,
Simrell moved to Throop and merged
with another gym, but he said it did
not work as he had planned. So he
decided to opened the location on
South State Street, Clarks Summit.
CLARKSSUMMIT- James Simrells
goal: to help children prepared to deal
with bullies.
I want to make kids aware of how
to react in different situations involv-
ing bullies, said Mixed Martial Arts
coach Simrell.
Simrell nowhas two studios, one at
Uno Fitness, 3 W. Olive St., Suite 210,
At the Clarks Summit Studio, he
offers classes for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Monday and Wednesday, Muay Thai
kickboxing on Tuesday and Thursday
and No Gi Kickboxing Saturday.
They are closed Friday and Sunday.
The guys that are actually out
competing at a high level and in the
UFC(Ultimate Fighting Champion-
ship), thats the two arts they mix the
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Muay
Thai, said Simrell. Mixed Martial
Arts is nowthe fastest growing sport
in the United States. Alot of high
school and college football coaches
suggest that their players do MMAin
the off season.
He said that his son Joshua, 30, also
had to learn Mixed Martial Arts when
he was in the Marine Corps.
Simrell said that he offers training
for all ages. At the Uno Fitness loca-
tion, they are beginning a programfor
children. He said its the first one in
the area that offers both Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai for ages 6 to
12. The programstarted this month,
but students can join at any time.
Simrell said, Its not just about
teaching kids howto fight, its also
about building their confidence.
Pete Smith, director of student ser-
vices at Abington Heights High
School and Brian Davis, former wres-
tling coach at Abington Heights are
instructors at both the Scranton and
Clarks Summit locations. Also help-
ing instruct are Josh Prall, a graduate
of Abington Heights, and David
Walsh, who works with adult proba-
tion in the area. Simrell said that he
does not plan on opening any more
studios soon because his hands are
full . He wants people to knowthat all
ages are welcome at his studios.
People are never too young or too
old to train in the sport of MMA,
said Simrell.
Simrell said that his son Shamus, 3,
is already hitting the pads and learn-
ing some techniques.

grams, call Simrell at 570.585.1851or

After serving as the
assistant baseball coach in
2010 and the interim head
coach this past 2011 sea-
son for the Defenders,
Baptist Bible College has
named Tony DeSanto as
the Head Baseball Coach.
DeSanto was named
Coach of the Year for the
NCCAA II East Region

was the interim coach.
DeSanto brings five
years of experience coach-
ing baseball at Temple
Christian School and three
years as clubhouse man-
ager for Double-A New
Britain Rockcats an affil-
iate of the Minnesota
Twins.
DeSanto is excited and
happy to continue coach-
ing baseball here at Bap-
tist Bible College. My
primary purpose of coach-
ing young athletes is to
use baseball to teach
them to be better people
and honor God. Athletics
offers one of the best
chances for young people
to learn respect, respon-
sibility, integrity, and ser-
vant leadership.

Clarks Summit resident
Cameron Fick will forgo sum-
mer vacation to remain on
campus at Saint Josephs Uni-
versity as a member of the
Summer Scholars Program.
Fick is one of 101 students
who will engage in faculty-
mentored research and cre-
ative projects at the University
this summer.
The program, which runs
for 11 weeks from May until
August, requires students to
work exclusively with a facul-
ty member to produce a writ-
ten description of their re-
search that will be published
by the University, and to pre-
sent their findings next spring
during the Celebration of
Student Achievement event.
For their work, students re-
ceive a stipend of $3,200,
on-campus housing, and the
opportunity to participate in
social and educational pro-
grams.
Research topics range from
local and national issues in the
sciences, business, education
and history to extended analy-
sis of literature and fine arts.
Fick, a Biology major, will
work with Peter Clark, S.J.,
Ph.D. on their topic, An
Analysis of Medical Marijua-
na from Health, Legal and
Ethical Perspectives.
