Mary Alice Bartz does everything grace-
fully, including easing into her retirement.
This Abington Heights teacher has spent the
past 30 years teaching kindergarten at Clarks
Summit Elementary. Regarding her retire-
ment, which begins at the end of this school
year, she has mixed feelings.
Im going to miss the children and fami-
lies that pass through. And Im going to miss
the people I work with, Bartz said.
Over the span of three decades, Bartz has
seen much change in the school system.
When 20 years ago, Clarks Summit Elemen-
tary School started the inclusion of special
needs children in the districtshe recalled it
was diffcult to fnd resources to explain how
to integrate the children.
We had a little boy who couldnt speak
and was not developmentally ready. He
couldnt dress himself or write. But because
kindergarten children are the most nurturing,
they mothered the boy. And by the end of the
year he was able to speak in a full sentence,
Bartz explained.
Bartz mentioned several reasons she knew
she had a calling to teach young children.
She said she is fascinated by watching young
ones learn and seeing the light go on when
they get it.
Its so exciting to watch, Bartz said,
seeing how fast they can grasp things. I
love the teaching environment structure of
the day, and I just love reading a story and
teaching them sounds. It truly is exciting
every day.
Clarks Summit Elementary School is
different than most area schools in that it
still offers half- day kindergarten as op-
posed to a full day. Bartz said their program
is aggressive and very academic. Its not all
about play time. By the end of the year, the
children have to write a four- page story with
sentences they crafted themselves.
Thirty years ago, if children knew the
letters of the alphabet, we sent them to frst
grade. Today, theyre coming into kindergar-
ten having to already know the alphabet,
Bartz said.
Within the span of a 34 -year career, Bartz
has watched all kinds of children grow and
has taught offspring of children who were

Newton
shifts
polling
location
By KEvIN KEarNEy
Abington Journal Correspondent
NEWTON TWP. - For the frst time in
10 years, Newton Township residents will
cast votes at the Municipal Building when
the primary election rolls around May 21.
The Lackawanna County Bureau of
Elections has agreed to move the polling
station from the Recreation Center back to
the Municipal Building, Board of Supervi-
sors Chairman Ronald Koldjeski said at
the monthly meeting March 11.
We were told verbally and theyll be
sending us a letter, so its going to hap-
pen, he said.
The supervisors requested the move
mainly due to safety issues, Koldjeski said.
The recreation center is home to a
daycare and a preschool, and the building
is always very secure, the supervisor said.
But on Election Day that changes, when
the doors are open to anyone.
We have a lot of young children there,
Koldjeski said. So to be on the safe side,
the supervisors decided to move the poll-
ing station back to its original location.
Koldjeski noted the Municipal Build-
ing is wheelchair accessible, has plenty of
room for voting machines and privacy, and
has multiple exits. Its really nice. Im
happy that its coming back here, he said.
The township had moved the poll-
ing station 10 years ago to the recreation
center because the center was looking for
occupants, but now it is well occupied and
the change can be made, Koldjeski said.
In other news, the township has applied
for a $10,000 grant to fx the foors and
backboards at the recreation center. Once
the work is done, the supervisors hope to
rent out the court to basketball leagues.
Hopefully we can get some revenue

Service
By BEN FrEDa
FACTORYVILLE -Super-
intendent Matthew Rakauskas
discussed the Naval Opera-
tional Support Center in Avoca
at the Lackawanna Trail School
Directors meeting March 11.
One of the programs that we
have there amongst the Navy
Reserves is the United States
Sea Cadet Corps program,
said Rakauskas. Its a program
where its an opportunity for
young men and women in high
school to get introduced to the
Navy and participate in training
events.
Commander Albert C.
Seeman presented a letter of
appreciation to Lackawanna
Trail student Jericho Hender-
shot for his dedication, superb
leadership, military bearing and
outstanding participation.
The exemplary nature of
your contributions clearly
establish that you have adopted
the Sea Cadet Corps values as
a personal standard, Seeman
said to Hendershot. Thank you
for your outstanding dedication
and distinguished professional-
ism.
In other business, student
council president Logan Gar-
rison said he is planning a
conference to help create an
atmosphere that allows stu-
dents to feel more comfortable
discussing issues with their
principal, vice-principal and
superintendent. He said that
student advisors agreed to it.
Garrison said the student
council will fund the confer-
ence.

Swan song for Abington Heights teacher
By KElly McDoNough
When my son entered kindergar-
ten at Clarks Summit Elementary
School this year, we wrote the school
to request Mrs. Bartz, who is retir-
ing this year. Not only had I heard
she was an amazing teacher from
parents in his preschool, but I knew
rsthand. She had been my teacher
too. I was a member of the rst class
that Mrs. Bartz (then Miss Morgan)
ever taught. And now my son is in
her last class.
When I was in kindergarten at
St Gregorys I was a very shy child,
pretty much not speaking to anyone.
Miss Morgan never made a fuss
about that and gave me chances to
feel good about myself in ways that
were comfortable to me-this had a
huge impact on me.
I remember her much as my son
describes her to meencouraging,
funny, kind and consistent. As he
transitions into real school I am
glad he is doing so with a teacher
who wants to know him as a person,
who works with him from the point
he is at, and who shows him that
learning is fun. Kindergarten is half
day, but the amount she manages
to get done, including time spent
individually with each child, is
remarkable. And the children realize
the importance of this to the extent
that their 5 and 6 -year -old minds
canthey love her and trust her fully.
She makes them laughI hear sto-
ries of her calling Mother Nature
or Jack Frost on a banana someone
brought in for a snack. She encour-
ages them to be their best selfthe
sunny days they (hopefully) come
home with are treasures. And her
students have an impact on her as
wellwhen I met with her for parent
conferences she relayed a story to
me about one of my sistersshe
remembered a specic picture my
sister drew 30 years ago. Amazing!
I still have the card that Mrs. Bartz
sent to me, and all members of her
rst class, upon our high school
graduation. That she thought to do
that is another example of how she
cares about her students so deeply.
Even as a senior in high school, I
realized how special that was.
Mrs. Bartz is truly deserving of an
article in your paper, especially as
she retires this year. I am happy for
her but so sad my younger two will
not have her as their kindergarten
teacher.
Thank you, Sarah Dawgert

Loaves of generosity
TEAChEr OF ThE MONTh
By ElIZaBETh BauMEISTEr
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
Apassion for baking and a desire
to feed the hungry, combined with
generosity and hard work recently
produced more than 200 loaves of
bread for the St. Francis of Assisi
Kitchen in Scranton.
Abington Heights High School
junior Sebastian Barry, along with
the assistance of his grandfather,
Carmell Santa Cruz, baked the
bread in four sessions at Beta Bread,
Clarks Summit for Barrys senior
project. They then delivered it to the
kitchen, which provides more than
225 hot meals to those in need, free
of charge every day.
Barry said he decided on this
particular project because of the
local need among the poor for food
and nutrition. He feels many people
recognize the need to help the poor
outside of their areas, while over-
looking those in their own town or
city.
There are a lot of people in
Scranton desperately in need, he
said, so I wanted to help the people
around here.

From the classic grilled cheese sand-
wich to a fancy bread lasagna with lay-
ers of fresh bread, cheese, sauce and
vegetables, according to Mike Bonczar,
owner of Beta Bread, Clarks Summit,
the possibilities of how one may incor-
porate bread in a menu are many.
It can be a side
dish, he said, or
something thats part
of the main course.
Four of his and his
customers favorites
are: Muffuletta, a

meats and cheeses

Surprise proposal
reaches new heights
By Joan Mead-Matsui
On a hot summer day in
2005, Kerry Meyer wanted
to lie on a beach, but
unfortunately, in Elmira,
N.Y., there was not one in
sight.
It was so hot outside.
All I wanted to do was lie
on a beach, but we lived in
Elmira, said Kerry. And
Jim Cox had in the works
other plans for their day
together.
She was 28 and he was
27.
Following a long car
ride, they arrived at Letch-
worth State Park, a scenic
park in western New
York with waterfalls and
many hiking trails. Kerry
thought, I knew it. Hes
going to take me hiking.
He knows I dont like to
hike. The whole time he
sees me huffng and puff-
ing and angry. He giggles
and smirks. Thats how he
responds (to me)Jim is a
funny guy, said Kerry.
Upon their arrival, they
went for a hike and then
returned to the car to drive
to another area within the
state park. I was asked to
look in glove box I think
he asked me to look in the
glove box for a map of
the park, but that was just
a ploy so I could fnd the
tickets. I see two tickets for
a hot air balloon ride, and
now I feel bad because I
had been so grouchy. Oh,
hes taking me on a hot air
balloon ride and Im scared
of heights, said Kerry.
They grabbed a bite to eat
and then Jim disappeared.
He runs off, she
said. Turns out, he went
to call my dad to ask per-
mission to ask me to marry
him. We took a short walk
down a gorge trail that
overlooked the falls and
that is where he proposed.
And, not surprisingly,
she said yes.
The hot air balloon ride
went off without a hitch
and afterward, they cel-
ebrated their engagement
with a champagne toast.
He didnt want me to
back out of the hot air bal-
loon ride because he knew
I was scared of heights.
Jim said, But even if
the hot air balloon ride
wasnt going to work,
because they are often can-
celed at the last minute due
to weather, the scenery at
the park was beautiful. The
whole trip was great,
said Jim. I was trying to
think of different ways
to propose because it had
been a long time in com-
ing. Kerry was defnitely
anxious to get married.
He purchased her en-
gagement ring in Phila-
delphia, where his sister
resides. They had been
dating for approximately
four years.
I found a ring at Tiffa-
nys in Philadelphia (more
than a four-hour drive each
way from Elmira), so I
actually drove there and
back in one day (to pick up
her ring).
They were married April
22, 2006 in Angola, N.Y. in
a church where Jim served
as an altar boy during his
childhood. Their recep-
tion was held at a country
club there. Prior to leaving
for their honeymoon trip
to Paradise Island the day
after their wedding, they
spent their wedding night
in a presidential suite over-
looking Niagara Falls.
Although they went
to high school together,
they were not high school
sweethearts.
Kerry said, I graduated
in 1995, went to college,
got a job, had my own
apartment and lived life
on my own. Jim graduated
in 1997 and did the same
thing. We did not have
any contact until that night
in the summer of 2001
when we ran into each
other at a bar. We needed
to go off and experience
things to make us who we
are today.
Jim added, I knew right
away Kerry was special.
Her whole personality and
glow she had, said Jim of
his wife.
Close to midnight on a
snowy night on Oct. 28,
2011, they arrived at their
new home in South Abing-
ton Township. Jim works
as an air traffc controller
and Kerry is a former ad-
vertising account executive
and offce manager, who
has taken some time off to
be at home with their three
children: Ashley, 2, Katie,
3 and Matthew 5.
We are happy and laugh
a lot. Most importantly, we
wouldnt change a thing,
said Kerry.
Jim Cox said of his wife, I knew right away Kerry was spe-
cial. Her whole personality and glow she had.
La Dolce Vita coming to library
By Joan Mead-Matsui
Leah Ducato Rudolph,
Abington Community Li-
brary director, and one of the
organizers of La Dolce Vita,
invites the public to celebrate
spring in a sweet way at a taste
of Italy program, March 23,
6:30 to 9 p.m. at the library.
We wanted to make the
event about sweet things, so
were celebrating the sweet life
in the spring with Italian cook-
ies, cappuccino, cordials and
Italian music.
Local establishments, friends
and members will also provide
fnger foods including pizza,
cheeses and other Italian deli-
cacies, according to Rudolph.
Past success with soirees
at the library, including the
exploring India and Germany
programs have provided the
impetus for La Dolce Vita.
Ducato Rudolph said, We de-
cided last fall to do something
on Germany, and this year, we
realized there are a lot of Ital-
ian Americans in our area, lets
do Italy.
The original art of Signore
Renzo Oliva and his wife,
Juri Kim, Philadelphia, is also
featured throughout the library,
and Oliva and Kim will be on
hand to meet and greet at the
Library that night. Prior to re-
tirement, Signore Renzo Oliva
served the Italian Foreign Min-
istry for more than 40 years in
a dozen countries around the
world as a former vice consul.
His work is dedicated to litera-
ture and photography.
Kim, MFA, is an adjunct
faculty at the Moore College of
Art and Design, and participant
of the Artist in the Marketplace
Program at the Bronx Museum
of the Arts, Bronx, N.Y.
La Dolce Vita is also planned
to complement the Lackawa-
nna County authors series in
April of Adriana Trigiani, a
well-known American novelist,
television writer, producer and
flm director.
What lent itself well to that
is the county library system
is doing On the Same Page
throughout Lackawanna Coun-
ty leading up to her discussion,
where each library presents the
opportunity for patrons to get a
free copy of this book, read it
and participate in a discussion.
Then, you can take your book
to the cultural center April 18
to have it autographed, said
Ducato Rudolph referring to
Trigianis frst lecture in the
2013 LCLS Matthew F. Flynn
Library Lecture Series, during
National Library Week. The
lecture will take place April
18, at 7 p.m., at the Scranton
Cultural Center at the Masonic
Temple. Abook discussion of
The Queen of the Big Time
will be held at the Abington
Community Library April 2,
6:30 p.m.
Ducato Rudolph would like
to thank La Dolce Vita spon-
sors and donors that include
The Abington Suburban, Allied
Services Integrated Health
System, Duffys Coffee House,
Inn at Nichols Village, Lynn
Sandys Cakes, Mamma Mias
Pizza, My Girls Caf and
Grill, Pizza Hut, Renzo Oliva
and Juri Kim, Rosarios Pizza,
Thick N Thin Pizza, Wegmans
and the board, friends, and staff
who are serving on the com-
mittee.
Advanced reservations for
La Dolce Vita are required and
tickets must be purchased by 9
p.m. March 22. Tickets are $15
and available at the circulation
desk. Proceeds will beneft the
library and anyone purchasing
a ticket will receive a compli-
mentary family membership
into Friends of the Abington
Community Library.

Beans from around the world
roast in Factoryville facility
By Gerard nolan
Luke Damiani pours a decade of coffee
experience into each batch of coffee beans
he produces at his Factoryville roasting
lab.
Damiani Coffee Roasters, tucked away
on a rural stretch of Route 6, imports
beans from around the world for roasting.
Damiani, a Scranton resident and cof-
fee devotee, roasts them for distribution
locally and around the world. The beans,
which are green and emit an earthy scent
in their raw state, originate from places
like Indonesia, Rwanda and Honduras, ar-
riving in burlap sacks lined with a special
material to keep the beans fresh.
Twice a week, Damiani, 34, fres up a
German-engineered Probat coffee roaster,
a Smart-car-sized contraption that runs on
liquid propane and heats up to hundreds
of degrees. He loads the beans into a chute
that leads to a spinning drum. Then, as
if by some sort of alchemy, the machine
transmutes the raw green seeds of the
coffea plant into the fragrant dark brown
kernels used to brew that familiar elixir
coffee.
In the roasting process they (the beans)
turn darker, they get bigger and the sugars
start to caramelize, Damiani said.
The key to achieving the perfect roast
is smelling and tasting the coffee beans
by adding hot water to cups that con-
tain grinds, a procedure called cupping.
Damiani has rigorous quality assurance
measures in place: He logs the temperature
of each roast, around 400 degrees, using
several thermometers and a computer
program.
I roast, then I cup, he said. And then
I make changes to my roasting based on
what Im tasting.
Damiani attempts to roast the beans until
he brings out the the best of what the cof-
fee has to offer, but not any further.
One would imagine roasting coffee
would be an aromatic delight, but the
smell produced isnt the same as the
familiar fragrance of ground coffee. He
described the scent as sweet hay mixed
with burning leaves; I like it.
The roastery operates out of a one-
story structure, a former diner. Damiani
remodeled the building and equipped it
with roasting and brewing accoutrements,
including a reverse osmosis fltration
systemwhich can produce water with
the mineral makeup of any water in the
worldand a vintage La Marzocco GS 1
modifed espresso machine.
Damianis experience dates back to the
early part of the last decade, when he and
his father, both of northern New Jersey,
opened Northern Light Espresso Bar in
Scranton.
My dad was driving down Spruce
Street one night and noticed a vacant
storefront in the Scranton Life Building,
he said.
Damianis father envisioned a cafe for
the space and recruited his son, who was
working at Hewlett-Packard in New Jersey
at the time, to join him in the venture.
We kind of started something we had
no experience in, he said.
But the father and son team soon found
themselves immersed in cafe culture.
Damiani traveled to Ithaca, N.Y., and pur-
chased equipment and coffee and sought
advice from Gimme Coffee, which has a
small chain of espresso bars in NewYork.
Though he and his father no longer
own the Northern Lightthe shop was
sold about six years agoDamiani still
works there on the side as a barista and
manager. Damiani coffee roasters supplies
the shops decaf espresso and house blend,
and the shop sells Damianis brand of cof-
fee beans on the shelf.
In 2005 Damiani helped an Austrian
woman set up her cafe in Vienna, spending
several months learning about the Vien-
nese cafe culture. The coffee afcionado
said that episode allowed him to get the
European coffee experience.
Damianis roastery, established in 2011,
sells roughly 600 pounds of coffee beans
each month, but he hopes to boost his sales
while maintaining high standards.
I want to be boutique, he said. But I
also want to pay my bills.
He roasts fve to 20 pounds per batch,
and each roast takes about 12 or 13 min-
utes. The beans are packaged in 12- ounce
brown bags branded with the roasters
logo and come in six varieties.
Damiani ships the beans anywhere in the
world and stocks local shelves, including
the Winola Market, Lake Winola; Caravia
Fresh Foods, South Abington Twp. and
Northern Light Espresso Bar, Scranton. He
constantly rotates the stock on the shelves
of his local vendors to make sure the
freshest product is available, he said. He
usually sells whole beans because he said
grinding the beans during manufacturing
detracts from the bouquet of favors each
blend produces.
Before the beans get to Damiani,
theyve been handled by many people, and
he feels a profound responsibility.
Its up to me to realize their vision for
the coffee, he said. Thats exciting. It all
comes down to me.
Coffee roasting is not a hobby or a nine-
to-fve job for him. Its a way of life.
And no matter how much he learns, he can
never learn everything.
Roasting is an art, he said. Its like
any other craft. You have to basically be
consumed by it.
Luke Damianis coffee roaster in Factoryville
spins and holds the beans as they roast at a
temperature close to 400 degrees.
Luke Damiani
examines raw
coffee beans,
which emit an
earthy scent that
is nothing like
the familiar
coffee aroma.

Tandoor India adds spice to area
By ROB TOMKAVAGE
rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
Tandoor India, 540 Scranton
Carbondale Highway Dickson
City, aims to fll a void in the
area restaurant landscape.
Owner Manohar Singh
choose to establish his business
in Dickson City because of a
few factors.
Its a good environment
with nice, friendly people, he
said. There are a lot of things
near by, its next to the (View-
mont) Mall.
He added that business has
been thriving at the location.
We have repeat customers
and our growth of customers is
increasing day by day, he said.
People have been satisfed,
we havent had any negative
comments.
Singh assessed the market
and took the views of the
people and said he found there
was a necessity for an Indian
food in the area. There are no
other Indian restaurants within
a 10 mile radius. Singh added
that the halal meat appeals to
the Muslim population.
Singh added that some items
which are healthy are cooked
in a clay oven. They include
Saag Panner, chunks of home-
made cheese in creamed spin-
ach and fresh spices, as well
as a Mixed Grill that contains
chicken, lamb and shrimp.
The restaurant, which
opened Jan. 3, currently has
110 items on its menu, which
is expected to be expanded
soon. They are also planningto
launch a website in the near
future.
For reservations, you can call
the restaurant at 570.343.2700.
They also offer catering ser-
vices.
The restaurant features a
daily lunch buffet from 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m. and a dinner buffet
Mondays and Tuesdays from 5
to 10 p.m. and offers take-out
orders. Their Sunday brunch is
expanded, but costs the same
price, he said.
The Dickson City restaurant
offers a 10 percent discount for
college students and senior citi-
zens, except on buffets, which
are already discounted.
The restaurant is open seven
days a week.
According to Singh, it took
three months to renovate the
building and they are still look-
ing to add carpeting and dim
lighting.
Everything is brand new,
from the kitchen to the dining
hall, he said.
Scranton resident Maureen
McGuigan gave a glowing
review of the restaurant upon
fnishing her meal.
The service was excellent,
the staff was very friendly and
welcoming, she said. I also
thought the food was really
delicious. I think good ser-
vice and favors make a great
restaurant.
She added that the restaurant
is a welcome addition to the
area.Its nice to have more di-
verse eating options, she said.
Lake Winola writer
inspired by food
By ARiEllE KOVAlich
Alocal resident has taken
the popular pairing of din-
ner and a movie and turned
this concept in an interactive
blog. Mark Yuhas, 27, of
Lake Winola, has created and
developed Food for Flicks,
where he displays his favorite
recipes paired with a movie
to complement each dish.
After creation of the blog in
October of 2012, Yuhas has
featured dishes varying from
mango stuffed French toast to
fresh cut French fries to beef
bourguignon.
The essence of Food for
Flicks is that it archives and
displays recipes posted by
Yuhas, which viewers are en-
couraged to try on their own,
and then pairs them with a
suggested movie to enjoy with
a homemade dish. In addition
to the recipe and a photo of the
completed dish, a summary
and trailer of each movie ac-
companies the blog post.
Food for Flicks explores
some of Yuhas favorite inter-
ests, which include writing,
cooking and the art of flm-
making.
Yuhas shared the origina-
tion of his love for cooking,
Ive been cooking since I
was tall enough to see over the
countertop. Yuhas continued,
I come from a family full of
amazing home cooks, so be-
ing in the kitchen really came
natural to me.
Based off of the blogs
name, Yuhas was partially
inspired by a movie for the
idea to create a blog. Be-
ing an aspiring writer, Yuhas
explored his options to allow
himself to write about things
he loves, and landed upon the
idea of creating a blog. The
writer Julie Powell came to
mind, the woman who half
of the movie Julie and Julia
was based on. Yuhas added,
It then came to my mind that
like Julie, I could write about
cooking.
With a general direction
of his blog decided, Yuhas
wanted to also add in another
element by incorporating his
love for flm. Yuhas explained
his logic behind combining
food and movies, From a
bowl of popcorn to a tray of
pizza on a Friday night with
a movie rental, snacking and
watching a movie go hand in
hand. Yuhas said, I wanted
to take that concept a step fur-
ther and try and create a meal
that was inspired in some way
by one of my favorite flms.
Afew food and fick pair-
ings featured on the blog
include vodka sauce with
pancetta and penne paired
with Last Chance Harvey
and French onion soup paired
with Midnight in Paris.
Although Food for Flicks
is currently just a hobby for
Yuhas, he explained how his
blog not only satisfes his
love for cooking, but also his
passion for writing, Since
Ive started writing this blog,
I feel like my inner writer has
been rejuvenated and Ive
thoroughly enjoyed every post
Ive written.
Out of all of the combina-
tions he has created, Yuhas
shared his personal favorite,
So far Id have to say the
pairing of the movie Its
Complicated and the French
ham and cheese sandwich, a
Croque Monsieur.
If you are hungry for more,
Food for Flicks can be
read at http://foodforficks.
blogspot.com/ and new pair-
ings are posted every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

The arrival of a new pre-
school in the Clarks Summit
area is creating a buzz in the
community.
Happiness Hive Learning
Academy, located in Clarks
Green, will be opening its
doors to new students in Sep-
tember. Owners and operators
of the school, Andrea Speicher
and Nicole Severs, anxiously
await the arrival of honey and
bumble bees to their hive.
After more than a year in
the works, Happiness Hive
Learning Academy is inviting
students into the classroom.
Although the hive is located
within Clarks Green United
Methodist church premises,
it is privately owned and run
solely by the two teachers.
Severs, 35, of Clarks Sum-
mit, is one of the two bee
keepers at the preschool.
Formerly a kindergarten/1st
grade and 4/5th grade learn-
ing support teacher, Severs
more recently took time away
from the classroom as a stay-
at-home mother of her two
(soon to be three) children .
After dreaming about own-
ing a preschool, Severs frst
returned to the classroom as
a student, where she recently
started toward earning her
Early Childhood Education
Certifcation. While taking
some time off, Severs was also
able to become an Advanced
Signing Time instructor.
With the experience gained
from being a teacher, Severs
contributed some creativity
toward picking a name and
theme for the preschool. Sev-
ers commented on the story
behind the name.
I would always tell my
students that bumble bees
shouldnt be able to fy with
how big they are, Severs con-
tinued, But we want to focus
on what the children can do as
opposed to what they cannot
do, just like a bumble bee.
Speicher, 34, of Crystal
Lake, is the second beekeeper
of the Hive. After spending
time in the classroom as a frst
grade teacher in New Jersey,
Speicher also stepped out of
the classroom to care for her
two young children. Although
she was away from the class-
room environment, Speicher
continued her education and
is currently working toward
earning her Graduate Certif-
cate of Family Literacy.
The combination of experi-
ence both teachers brings to
the Hive allows for a blend of
teaching skills available for
the students, as Speicher ex-
plained, We both have experi-
ence working with young kids
and with young kids with spe-
cial needs. Speicher added,
As mothers of preschool age
kids, we feel that is something
we have to offer as well.
Happiness Hive is indeed
bee themed, with the two
age group classes classifed
into children ages 3 and 4, or
honey bees, and children
ages 4 and 5, also known as
bumble bees.
The preschool aims to be
true to the small town feel of
the Clarks Summit area by
offering small class sizes. We
really pride ourselves in small
numbers, we dont want to go
above 15 students [per class,]
Severs said.
Speicher added, We want
to make sure that when we sit
down with a parent that we
truly know their kid.
Happiness Hive offers
activities, including inviting
instructors once a month to
teach childrens Zumba, drama
and music. The hive will also
offer sign language skills, as
Speicher explained, We both
are believers in the power of
multi-sensory learning and
sign languages. Speicher
continued, We are going to
incorporate America Sign
Language into everything that
we do.
The classroom is set up into
traditional centers including
areas for writing, science, art
and math. Speicher discussed
their criteria for preschool
students, Our goal is to set
them up for kindergarten and
beyond, because everything
we do, being state licensed,
is based on the Pennsylvania
standards.
While the new school will
offer the essential criteria for
learning skills, the beekeepers
of the hive hope to incorporate
additional learning opportu-
nities on multiple levels by
involving family and the local
community into the process.
Severs commented on their
efforts to create a diverse
classroom, We really pride
ourselves in parent participa-
tion and we want parents to
feel like they can absolutely
come in, Severs said.
Speicher also shared what
she hopes her honey and bum-
ble bees will most importantly
get out of being part of her
class, Alove of learning and
an excitement about school.
She added, We think the
preschool years should be a
magical time, and we both just
feel so strongly about that.
Happiness Hive located on
the second foor of the Clarks
Green United Methodist
Church at 119 Glenburn Road
in Clarks Green. Interested

Sarah Dawgert nominated
Bartz as Teacher of the Month
through The Abington Journal.
In her letter, Dawgert stated
that when her son entered
kindergarten at Clarks Summit
Elementary this year, she wrote
the school to request Bartz.
Not only had I heard she
was an amazing teacher from
parents in his preschool, but I
knew frsthand. She had been
my teacher, too. I was a mem-
ber of the frst class that Mrs.
Bartz (then Miss Morgan) ever
taught. And now my son is in
her last class.
Dawgert went on to say
she remembered Bartz very
much as her son described her:
encouraging, funny, kind and
consistent. Shes happy for her
as she retires this year but so
sad her younger two children
will not have her as their kin-
dergarten teacher.
Bartz grew up in Clarks
Summit and attended Abington
Heights. She earned her early
childhood education Associ-
ates degree from Keystone
College in La Plume. She
continued on to Marywood
College, where she studied
elementary education and
early childhood education and
earned a Bachelor of Science
degree. Her Masters equiva-
lency is in elementary educa-
tion. She has taken 84 post
graduate credits, all in child-
hood education.
The Dalton resident began
her career in daycare and
moved on to teaching frst
grade at Our Lady of Peace
School, Clarks Green. She
went on teach kindergarten at
St. Gregorys School in Clarks
Green and from there to Clarks
Summit Elementary, where she
has spent the past 30 years.
Whats really special is that
I was included in Whos Who
in American Teachers three
times. Its very special because
former students nominated me.
Its very rare they remember
their kindergarten teacher. It
was special that they remem-
bered, Bartz said.
She and David Bartz have
been married 28 years. She has
two stepdaughters, eight grand-
children and another one on the
way. Upon her retirement, she
plans to spend time with them
in Florida.

Waverly police to heighten
community presence
By Brittney Pierce
WAVERLY- Police Chief
Kenneth James explained at
The March 11 Waverly Town-
ship that the police force is
making its presence known in
the community. After meeting
with the Waverly Elementary
School principal, the police
plan to visit the school to
acquaint students with mem-
bers of the force. During the
day, primarily when students
arrive and are dismissed, James
plans to drive by to familiarize
students with the police car.
Aplan is in motion to re-
place the current disinfectant
in the Waste Water Treatment
Facility. The frst step is replac-
ing the chlorine gas currently
being used with sodium hypo-
chloride. The sodium hypo-
chloride is a more concentrated
substance with a 15 percent
solution, while the chlorine gas
is a 100 percent solution. The
proposed tank is four feet high
with a containment chamber in
case of overfow. The process,
done correctly, will not change
the amount of chlorine in the
treatment system. The second
step is to replace the shed the
disinfectant tank is housed in,
due to deterioration. The shed
will need to be eight feet wide
by ten feet high, with double
doors to accommodate the 115
ton chlorine cylinders.
Total price for the job is
$4,000. Supervisor Thomas
Durbin recommended the
township approve the switch
to sodium hypochloride. The
motion to abandon the existing
chlorine gas system and switch
to a bulk sodium hypochloride
fuid system was passed. A
meeting March 12, with local
frefghters and emergency
responders, was planned, to
get their recommendations on
safety measures for the new
system. Personal protective
equipment (PPE) will also need
to be purchased.
Frisbee golf enthusiasts can
take advantage of the warmer
weather using the townships
completed Frisbee golf course.
Frisbee golf discs are being
sold in the municipal building
for $10.
Community members shared
complaints about Stevenson
Road. Public Works director
Thomas James began work
on Stevenson Road last week
and will continue maintenance
on it, As soon as the weather
breaks.
Anew generator has been
purchased as per a motion by
Supervisor Dr. Douglas Klamp.
The approved motion is for a
30 KW emergency generator
from Friedman Electric Supply.

Keystone Players dedicate
show to President, First Lady
By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
The Keystone Players will open
their latest production, Blithe Spir-
it, a comedy by Noel Coward, with
a sold out performance March 22 in
Keystone Colleges Brooks Theatre.
The evening is underwritten by an
anonymous benefactor and dedicated
to Keystone College President Dr.
Ned Boehm, who plans to retire June
1, and First Lady Regina Boehm. It
will conclude with a special presenta-
tion and reception in their honor.
My student actors and I wanted to
thank the Boehms for their steadfast
and enthusiastic support of The Key-
stone Players and theatre in general
all these years, said Jane Honchell,
director. Not only have the Boehms
attended almost every production,
but they also have been wonderful
about sending notes of support to
the cast, often accompanied by gift
baskets of edible goodies, which the
students always devour instantly.
Boehm confrmed his support of
and pride in the Keystone Players,
saying, The student theatre has
always played a critical role in the
life of Keystone College. During our
nearly 18 years on campus, Keystone
First Lady Regina Boehm and I have
been amazed at the talent and dedica-
tion of the Keystone Players, under
the expert direction of Associate
Professor Jane Honchell.
In addition to entertaining and
inspiring their audiences, he contin-
ued, The Keystone Players demon-
strate time and again that excellence
can indeed be obtained through de-
sire and hard work. They are a great
source of pride for the Keystone
community and our entire area.
According to cast member and
Keystone College graduate Brink
Powell, who has performed in at least
one Keystone Players production
since joining as a freshman in 2007,
the Blithe Spirit cast is one of the
top two shes worked with so far.
She said the group goes above and
beyond and succeeds in making
the play real.
She said she enjoys working with
the rest of the cast, and is excited
to play opposite Joseph Croft, with
whom she frst acted alongside when
they were in a high school play at
Lackawanna Trail.
everything he does he puts his all
into, she said.
She said she also enjoys acting
under the direction of Honchell.
Jane is a wonderful person, she
said. I have learned so much from
hershes understanding, teaches
you so much and she encouraging.
In Blithe Spirit, Powell plays
the part of Ruth, an overbearing
wife who likes to have her own way
andisnt happy when things arent in
her control.

TRAIL
about updates and changes in
the 2013-14 elementary cur-
riculum guide and handbook to
refect transition from PAState
Standards to the Common Core
Standards. Updates included
specialized area changes, such
as specials (art, band, com-
puter, library and PE); added
detailed curriculum for grade
levels; special education; gifted
speech and language; learn-
ing support and made special
education initiative extended to
include Grade 5.
She said that chaperoning
has been occuring, but a policy
was never stated in the hand-
book.
There are a variety of
after school events that are
held throughout the school
year (concerts, PTO family
fun night, dances, etc.) said
Stoker. Elementary Center
students are not permitted to
attend these events alone. In-
stead, they must be chaperoned
by an adult.
Stoker also explained that
the handbook requires parents,
who pick up their children after
school, to have a laminated
sticker with a number on it to
put on their car window. This
way, the school will know he or
she is an authorized parent or
grandparent.
For safety reasons, if the
parent and guardian does not
have their car pick-up number
with them, they will have to en-
ter the school building to sign
their student out of school at
the end of the day, said Stoker.
Stoker also mentioned that
students must be signed out
by a parent or guardian after
detention or a feld trip.
In other news, School board
member Joseph Strauch talked
about approving advertising in
the schools gymnasium.
I would like to confrm that
there is no groups or groups
that are not allowed to adver-
tise, he said.
Strauch asked the board
members if they believe that
they have to eliminate certain
segments, groups or companies
from being allowed to adver-
tise.
School board president Dr.
Mark Lombardi replied that he
is opposed to placing political
ads in the gymnasium .
It doesnt shine the light on
the business that could be con-
tributing or the student that is
participating, said Lombardi.
Strauch was asked by a par-
ent if placing a sign about a
student is considered advertis-
ing.
Any advertising is advertis-
ing, Strauch replied.
Board member Dr. Michael
Mould said to Strauch, Ad-
vertising is one thing. Seeking
patrons is another.
Strauch said that he support-
ed the boards decision.
Lombardi ended the discus-
sion, Were going to stand
frm. Theres at least two very
clearly worded statements
within the policy that gives the
superintendent, whether its
Matt or some future superin-
tendent, the right to make that
(fnal decision). We want to be
fair. We want to be consistent,
and to that extent, I think we
are.

If divorcing spouses have reason to believe that their counterparts are being less than
forthcoming about fnancial matters, the legal process of discovery can be used to force
reluctant spouses to turn over records and statements. This formal information-gathering
process is the part of a lawsuit that enables spouses and their lawyers to send papers to
one another asking for pertinent information. The process of discovery can also involve
taking depositions, which includes asking and answering questions orally. Because the
process of discovery can be time-consuming and expensive, each side in a divorce case
is urged to be fnancially responsible. Otherwise, a divorcing spouse engaged in waste
dissipation may end up with less property than the other.
Divorce is a complicated issue, one that deals with fnancial and emotional concerns.
Thats why you need to call my offce. My name is Amil M. Minora and I have years of
experience dealing with all aspects of divorce. That means I can provide you with the
legal acumen you want and the compassion that you need during this diffcult time.

Beta Bread owner Mike

provided his materials and
space for baking the bread,
pointed out the kitchen has a
high demand for food because
of the large amount of people
it serves each day. He said he
feels Barrys project was a
good thing to do.
Beta Bread has been the
centerpiece of the project,
Barry said. Without Beta
Bread and Mikes generosity,
I wouldnt have even thought
about doing it.
Although hes now fnished
with the project, he hopes to
do it again in the near future,
and even expand on the idea,
inviting more people to get
involved.
His favorite part of the
project is seeing the apprecia-
tion on the faces of the people
at the kitchen when delivering
the bread.
It makes my day, he said.

Keystone College President Dr. Edward
G. Boehm Jr. will retire June 1, after
18 years at the college. He plans to
then transition to the role of President
Emeritus for the next year, continuing
to serve the college in various duties
on campus and in the community.
It has been a great privilege and
honor to serve as Keystones president
for nearly two decades, Boehm said
after making the announcement Aug.
31. During that time, Keystone has
grown from a junior college to one
of the most respected baccalaureate
institutions in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia. This phenomenal accomplishment
is due to the talent and tremendous
dedication of the entire Keystone fam-
ily, including our students, faculty, staff
and administration, supported by our
board of trustees, alumni and friends.
We have accomplished so much dur-
ing this time, but most importantly, we
have accomplished it together. Regina

Chaos and hilarity ensue,
states the release, as Charles
struggles to keep the peace
between his second, and very
much alive wife, Ruth, and
Elvira.
Adding to the fun are the
Condomines guests at the
sance, Dr. and Mrs. Brad-
man, played by Josh Harris
and Karen McKenna. Edith
the Condomines new maid,
played by Jackie Nat, provides
another delightful touch as she
goes about her duties at warp
speed.
McKenna, who is perform-
ing with the Keystone Players
for the frst time in this produc-
tion, described her character as
ditsy and gullible.
Im just going to have a
lot of fun with [the part], she
said, later adding, It is a really,
really fun play.
She said she also enjoys
working with Honchell and
the rest of the cast. They are
very talented, she said. I feel
humbled by their talent.
McKenna, 52, hasnt per-
formed in over 30 years and
said she is very excited about
this production. She encour-
ages others who have a past
love for the theater and acting
to pursue it and get involved in
a local theatre.
Its never too late to pursue
something you love, she said.
Dont be afraid to try to do
something new. Its been an
amazing experience for me.
Alimited number of tickets
for the show March 23 and

ALLENTOWN Abington Heights
High School faced down pressure from
Imhotep Charter in the front court for
most of the frst three quarters in the
March 15 Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Athletic Association Class AAAboys
basketball state quarterfnal.
When the Panthers extended that pres-
sure into the back court, they fnally took
control, leaving themselves within two
wins of a third straight state title with a
61-50 victory.
The loss ended the season for Abing-
ton Heights, the Lackawanna League
Division 1 and District 2 Class AAA
champion, at 27-3.
We thought wed have a good season,
but I never thought wed have 27 wins,
Abington Heights coach Ken Bianchi
said.
The Comets scored the frst six points
and maintained the lead for more than
19 minutes. They fell behind for the frst
time midway through the third quarter,
but still took a 43-42 lead into the fourth
quarter.
Imhotep Charter scored the frst 10
points of the fourth quarter with the
help of its full-court pressure then
coasted down the stretch as it held the
ball, giving Abington Heights trouble
simply catching up to commit fouls.
Im proud of the effort, Bianchi
said. The effort was there, the execution
wasnt.
We worked on the press all day
(Thursday). I thought wed do better.
You cant just give the ball back to them
and say, here, try again.
The pressure looked a little different
coming from a fast team with three start-
ers 6-6 or bigger and a steady rotation of
nine players.
We did all right until the third quarter
when they put that pressure on, Bianchi
said. We worked on it, but we didnt
work on it against 6-6 or 6-7 guys.
The Comets committed 11 of their 16
turnovers in the second half.
Brandon Austin, a 6-6 senior guard,
led Imhotep Charter (26-5) with 18
points, eight rebounds and three steals.
He also was largely responsible for the
defensive work that limited Comets scor-
ing leader J.C. Show to one feld goal in
By Tom RoBinson
Pitcher Mike Burke is in the
starting rotation for the Lehigh
University baseball team.
Burke (Abington Heights)
is a veteran right-hander for
the Mountain Hawks. In his
frst two seasons, he worked in
23 games with fve starts. The
6-foot junior picked up his frst
victory in his frst start of this
season when he worked 5.1
innings and got credit for a 4-1
victory over UNC-Wilmington.
He gave up two hits, a run,
walked two and struck out
three.
Mike has good enough
stuff to get people out and this
year he has really trusted his
defense and has relied on the
movement that he has, coach
Sean Leary said. Hes an
unbelievably hard -working
kid and an easy kid to embrace
as a teammate and front-line
pitcher.
The coach feels that Burke
leads by example.
Mike has a tremendous
amount of respect from his
peers based on his work ethic
and the kind of teammate he
is, Leary said. He has that
intangible that is very hard to
fnd in kids. He understands
what coaches want and follows
what we are asking. Hes the
kind of player we look to build
our program around character
wise.

In order to send the Abington
Blaze 12-under Little League
baseball team on the trip of a
lifetime, donations are needed
from members of the com-
munity.
The team will play in a tour-
nament along with 119 other
teams in Cooperstown, N.Y.
fromAug. 3-9, according to
head coach Jeff Armbruster.
Armbruster is looking for-
ward to the joy the players will
experience.
Im excited to see the kids
participate in an event that is
flled with camaraderie and
competition, he said.
They will also get a lesson in
baseball history when they visit
the Baseball Hall of Fame.
According to parent and lead
fundraising organizer Anthony
Abdalla, they are looking to
raise $5,000 to $7,000 to fund
expenses.
That include costs for food
and lodging, banners for their
corporate sponsors and uni-
forms, buying pins for the boys
to trade and practice T-shirts.
According to Abdalla, they
have already received dona-
tions from $100 to $300 each
from 15 corporate sponsors.
They are planning a Comedy
Night, featuring comedians
from NewYork City, at the
Clarks Summit Ramada March
22 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets
are $25, and Abdalla said
more than half of the 300 have
already been sold.
Also at the event, there will
be a silent raffe with baskets
that are valued between $35-
75. Each parent was asked to
donate a basket.
Were hoping to get most of
the fundraising done before the
start of the summer, because
by then everyone else starts,
Abdalla said.
Abdalla expects the experi-
ence to be memorable.
Its really a great experi-
ence, he said. It gives the
kids the illusion of being at
the Little League World Series
in Williamsport. They live
together in a village and play
games together.
Abdallas son, Luke, is ec-
static about the chance to play
on a big stage.
He is involved with every-
thing and he hasnt stopped
talking about it since the team
was picked, Abdalla said.

with the Chowan University
softball team. Shes played in
12 games and starter four as
a designated hitter. She has
one hit in four at-bats and has
scored fve runs for the Mur-
freesboro, N.C. college.
Kayla has been improv-
ing her game ever since she
stepped foot on campus,
coach Amanda Balduf said.
Unfortunately, she has had
some injuries this year that
have limited her to mostly
pinch running.
The coach said that Brady
remains positive and mentally
strong throughout the ordeal.
She is fnding ways to stay
ft and add new skills to her
game including working with
a one-handed bunt.
The coach is looking for
Brady to bounce back next
season.
Im hoping shell have
a healthy senior year so she
can showcase her full athletic
ability, Balduf said. She is
defnitely a player I can go to if
I need something done. I enjoy
the conversations we have be-
yond the game of softball and
I respect and admire her work
ethic and persistence.
BIGGAME FOR ROSEN-
CRANCE
Junior Joel Rosencrance had
the biggest game of the young
season for the St. Bonaventure
baseball team.
Rosencrance, from Clarks
Summit (Holy Cross), pitched
and batted the Bonnies to a
16-3 victory over Chicago
State in Port Charlotte, Fla.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound right-
hander worked a complete-
game and gave up just fve hits
and three runs, one earned,
with one walk and 10 strike-
outs in eight innings.
Rosencrance helped his own
cause by collecting a double
and home run and knocking in
three runs.
In Joels frst outing out of
the bullpen, he didnt locate his
pitches very well and got hit
around against South Dakota
State, coach Larry Sudbrook
said. But he pitched very well
against Chicago State.
Rosencrance also serves as
a designated hitter when not
pitching.
Joel will DH against right-
handed pitchers, Sudbrook
said. He got off to a slow
start in Florida but he broke
out against Chicago State. He
is going to be a guy like Jim
Thome. Hell hit doubles,
home runs and will take walks
and strike out some.
DOGGETT DOES ITALL
Senior Pete Doggett (Abing-
ton Heights) is in his fourth
season pitching for the Mi-
sericordia baseball team. The
6-foot-3 right-hander entered
this season with an 8-4 lifetime
record with three saves. He
pitched in 37 games with nine
starts.
Pete has been very versatile
throughout his four years,
coach Pete Egbert said. He
has served as a starter, middle
reliever and closer and has
been effective in all those roles.
This season, we will look to
Pete to be a starting pitcher
mostly.
Doggetts frst start was very
good. He worked six innings
and gave up six hits and one
earned run with three walks
and four strikeouts in a 4-2 loss
to PSU-Behrend.
Pete adds depth, experi-
ence and competitiveness to a
veteran pitching staff, Egbert
said. He has matured both on
and off the feld in four years
and we hope that he will have
his best season yet.
KILZI STILLPLAYING
Roger Williams senior Eliza-
beth Kilzi (Abington Heights)
has one game remaining in her
college career. The 5-foot-9
guard will play in the New
England Womens Basketball
Association Senior All-Star
game Saturday at Western New
England College in Springfeld,
Mass.
Kilzi was among 22 players
selected to play in the game,

coaches and sports information

Brandons job on Show
was huge; unbelievable, Im-
hotep Charter coach Andre
Noble said.
Abraham Massaley added
12 points and four steals for
the Philadelphia school.
Jason Bamford led Abing-
ton Heights with 14 points
and nine rebounds. Show
added 11 points. Evan Max-
well came off the bench to
block four shots. T.J. Murray
and Kevin Elwell had four
assists each.
Elwell scored four straight
to give the Comets a 10-2
lead before the Panthers
moved within 12-7 after one
quarter.
Imhotep Charter got
within a point twice in the
second quarter before Abing-
ton Heights hit three of its
four 3-pointers in a stretch
of 1:22.
Egan hit the frst, but Mas-
saley answered for Imhotep
Charter.
Show then hit two back-to-
back for a 29-22 lead.
The Panthers used the last
four points of the half to
close within three.
Subs Jalil Myers and
Jakwon Jones hit 3-pointers
42 seconds apart to give the
Panthers their frst two leads
in the third quarter.
The Comets took their last
lead, 43-42, when Elwell
hit all three free throws in
the fnal minute of the third
quarter.
After shooting 56.7
percent for the frst three
quarters, the Comets were
just 2-for-7 in the fourth
while the Panthers were go-
ing 7-for-10.
The Comets reached the
quarterfnals by defeating
Philadelphia Electric, 66-63,
in overtime March 12.
Show had 30 points, in-
cluding fve 3-pointers in the
win. Murray scored all 13 of
his points after halftime and
Bamford had his 13 in the
frst half of the win.

OBITUARY
JoAnn Burne
March 13, 2013
JoAnn
Burne, 85,
of Clarks
Summit, died
Wednesday,
March 13, at
Green Ridge
Health Care
Center, Scranton.
She was the widow of the
late Bartholomew Burne who
died in 1963.
Born May 13, 1927 in
Scranton, she was the daughter
of Josephine and Giovanni
Pellegrini.
She graduated from Scranton
Technical High School in 1945
and was the belle of her class.
After graduation, she worked
at the Glen Alden Coal Com-
pany as a bookkeeper until she
got married in 1949.
Her husband Bart, was the
love of her life. She met him
at a dance where he walked up
to her and said You look just
like my sister Betty. When he
walked her home, he told her
mother that he knew he was
going to marry her. She was
swept off of her feet and mar-
ried him six months later. They
had the fairy tale wedding.
They resided in the hill sec-
tion of Scranton before moving
to Miami Beach, Fla., where
they lived for 8 years.
She returned to Scranton in
1959, when her husband was
stuck by a car and brought to
the Veterans Hospital in Wilkes
-Barre, where he laid in a coma
until his death in 1963. JoAnn
was expecting her last child at
the time of the accident.
She was a brave and coura-
geous woman who did not
miss one day of visiting Bart in
those four and a half years of
his hospital stay. She devoted
her entire life to her three chil-
dren.
She always spoke of the
amazing support she had from
her family and close friends.
Her mother moved in with her
to help care for her children
and her in-laws bought her a
house a few doors away from
them. Her three sisters were
also an important part of the
support team.
When JoAnns children
were in grade school she was
known as The Stamp Lady at
Longfellow School, a title she
held for 12 years, that involved
managing the S&H Green
stamp program that most grade
schools had in the 1960s.
She also volunteered at St.
Pauls School lunch room for
her granddaughters. She was
a member of the St. Josephs
Auxiliary, the Theresians
of Scranton, a member of a
weekly neighborhood rosary
group, a volunteer at St. Fran-
cis Kitchen and also active in
the ARC.
JoAnn was known for her
inner and outer beauty, but her
genuine kindness toward others
gained her a wealth of deep
loyal friendships that she was
very grateful for.
She was most proud of her
family and lived for the memo-
ries she made with them. Her
grandchildren were the center
of her world.
Surviving are three chil-
dren, Bart E. Burne, Jr. and
wife Beverly, Lafin; Florence
Weller and husband Robert,
Hudson Florida; Joni Stone and
husband Christopher, Clarks
Summit, with whom she re-
sided until her move to Green
Ridge Health Care Center; two
sisters, Preziosa Briga, Scran-
ton and Lucille Regni, Wisc.;
six grandchildren, Nora Weber
and husband David, Clarks
Summit; Marla and Suzie
Stone, Clarks Summit, Robert,
Gregory and Nicholas Weller,
Hudson Florida; and one great
granddaughter, Grace Elizabeth
Weber.
She was preceded in death
by a sister Angelina Pellegrini.
Memorials may be made in
JoAnns name to St. Josephs
Center, 320 S. Blakely Street.,
Dunmore, Pa 18512

Steven J. Chapple
March 8, 2013
Steven J. Chapple, 51, of
Ransom twp., died Friday eve-
ning, March
8, as a result
of injuries
sustained from
an automobile
accident.
Born in
Scranton, he
was the son
of the late Willard and Hilda
Ruane Chapple. He was a
1979 graduate of Abington
Heights High School and was
employed as an electrician at
Leber Electric. He was a mem-
ber of the IBEW Local #81.
Steve enjoyed the outdoors,
including hunting, and loved to
work on motorcycles and cars.
He also enjoyed driving a race
car for Milwaukee Cycle Ser-
vice. Steve could often be seen
with his Rottweiler Zeus by his
side. He will be dearly missed
by all who know him.
Surviving are two brothers
Brain and his wife Brenda,
Ransom Twp. and David,
Flagstaff, Ariz.; two nieces
Madison and Brooke; and one
nephew Ben.

Dani had never wanted to
talk about Stranger-Danger.
When she was a toddler, my
husband and I frst broached
the subject with her and she
covered her ears, hummed
as loud as she could and
then cried. Any subsequent
attempts to educate her on
it ended up with a string of
sleepless nights.
As a middle school student,
she has now endured the
lectures not only at home, but
at school, and has taken part in
many dialogues about how to
handle various situations. The
timing is crucial because she
now has the right and respon-
sibility to walk around our
neighborhood independently.
It was just after school start-
ed when she told me about the
man in the white truck.
Mom, he is almost always
there when I get off the bus!
I have to admit I was reticent
to become alarmed initially.
The fatigue of caring for a
new baby paired with a long
exposure to child-produced
melodrama, certainly took its
toll on my reaction. In addi-
tion, Dani throws the word
abduction around as if its
one of the most popular in the
English language.
How many times have you
seen him? I asked. Is he vis-
iting one of our neighbors?
No! He just sits there and
watches me! He turns around
in different driveways each
time! She explained how
there was some kind of a seal
on the door of his truck and
how it had a yellow light on
top. My husband, Doug, and
I began a subtle investiga-
tion. When I was out walking,
I closely scrutinized every
truck for those details. Doug
drove to the state park, seek-
ing a truck that matched the
description, in order to link it
to a man he could question.
We began to meet her at the
bus stop, but never saw the
man in the white truck. Then
it happened on a Saturday.
Mom! Dad! Dani called
as she ran in the house with
her friend. He was there!
Its true! her friend added.
The guy drove really slowly
right behind us, chasing us!
We ran as fast as we could!
Thats it! my husband
declared. You are not leaving
this house without me! Its
time I confront this guy!
That Monday Doug and I
decided to stop by the po-
lice station to alert them to
the situation. The chief was
extremely attentive. He took
a full description and said he
would make it his business
to patrol our neighborhood at
around the time the school bus
came every day.
That afternoon there was a
knock at my front door. It was
the chief.
Mrs. Heine? He began.
I wanted to let you know. I
saw the truck matching your
daughters description and I
followed it. It stopped at a few
houses on your road before I
realized why. He seemed to
stife a smile as he went on.
Its the postman, maam.
Now, to give Dani credit, in
the ten years weve lived here,
there has never been home
delivery of mail. Everyone in
our neighborhood has had to
pick up their mail at the post
offce, until just recently. I had
neglected to put together the
memo wed received from the
post offce with the description
of the man in the white truck.
Despite our reassurances
that the man and his truck
have business that brings
them to our street, Dani is still
suspicious.
Doug and I chuckled at the
misunderstanding, but at least
we can feel confdent that
she heard the message wed
tried to impart so many years
before.

I am a resident of Peckville Pa and a previous resident of Jessup PA where I was born
and raised. I am a proud graduate of Valley View High School, and have been a car
enthusiast since I can remember. I have been involved in the automobile industry for
23 years. Such involvement has been from the parts distribution side of the business,
to the wholesale side of the business, to now for the past 9 years the retail side of the
industry as a sales consultant for Gibbons Ford. All facets of the business have been
very enjoyable but the retail side is especially rewarding when you can help any client
select the proper vehicle to suit their needs both nancially and emotionally.
