Working together for change

MEET THE PRESIDENT

GLENBURN - Erin Osterhout is a Glenburn stay-at-home mom who believes in everyone working together for change. This only enhanced her abilities as president of the Waverly Elementary School PTA. She follows through to make a difference in the community. The former DJ, who once owned her own business, elected to stay at home. From there she chose to give her childrens after school activities a boost. Club Waverly was my idea, and it built on the foundation of after school. I just wanted to see a more complete Osterhout course than a fast five-week program, so we made it a year course so they could really grow, Osterhout explained. She made it clear that all of the things she spearheaded were not possible without help from others. All of these things were not me alone, she said. None of it could have happened without the board and everyone. Its completely the group. Osterhout wanted to start a glee program for the children and realized that its planned time frame was too short to achieve any goals. So, she expanded it. Then she invited willing professors to come in as guest players and help train

Demystified misnomer
ewton Township resident David Kveragas, a history buff with a wealth of local knowledge, shared insight about Newton and Ransom townships. He pointed out that many outsiders inaccurately refer to the two townships as one. (The) bottom line is: Newton and Ransom are akin to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. They are often linked, but have little in common beyond geography. The two are linked historically and geographically, but they are separate entities, said Kveragas. Unlike Wilkes-Barre, the names are not based on two peoples names. Newton is

RANSOM TWP. - Natural gas company UGI Utilities plans to replace a high-pressure gas pipeline protruding out of a creek in Ransom Township, according to company spokesperson Don Brominski. The pipeline runs through a large portion of Bud Stanns property, crossing the creek that runs alongside Dark Region Road. According to Stann, it was first unearthed by flooding in 2006. He said since then, he was in contact with UGI several times regarding concerns over dangers the exposed section could cause, should heavy objects jam into it during high waters. Stann said he looks forward to the problem being fixed, and is hopeful it will stay that way. Brominski was unable to estimate how long the process will take, but said the company is currently in the designing stage and seeking the permit required to work in the creek.

activated. He said the program does not give private information, only public data. The board clarified the recent settlement between the EPA and Precision. Precision, which operated a chrome plating facility in Clarks Summit from 1958 to 1999 that contaminated soil and water with the chemical hexavalent chromium, has been doing cleanup work under EPAs supervision since 1991. According to a release by the EPA, the new agreement, which addresses groundwater and surface water contamination in addition to soil contamination, replaces the old settlement from 1991 and will include extensive monitoring of groundwater wells on the site and around the perimeter of the site. MacGregor said payment of cleanup in the new settlement is unchanged and Precision is still responsible for all costs. MacGregor said he was not given an exact time for completion of the cleanup, but he is more focused on the cleanup being successful. Were more concerned that people would have the best cleanup possible and the safest environment possible than we are with a drop-dead date for them to leave the site. MacGregor mentioned the continuing discussion between the Delaware and Hudson Railways company and the township concerning the railroads planned 150-foot communication tower at Waterford Road. The railroad issued a complaint May 18 threatening to file a lawsuit if a stop-work order issued by the township on the towers construction was not pulled. The township issued the order because of safety concerns for residents by the tower. MacGregor said discussions have continued, the townships engineers have worked on finding a suitable replacement spot and he remains optimistic an alternative area for the tower. Hopefully we can work something out where it can be placed in an area where it wont affect the health or the safety or welfare of the residents, MacGregor said. .

The case begins a 90-degree turn on its upward journey.

At 7 a.m. the next day, June 21, Joseph Sparacino Movers, along with M.J. Spott Crane Rental, were in place to transport the case from the ground floor to the second floor. At 7:35 a.m., the case was wheeled out on dollies to the crane; by 7:45 a.m. it was strapped for a ride up to the window. With only a few precarious snags on the path upward, the case arrived at the opening, was slowly slipped through and by 8 a.m. was centered along one wall of Loughney Hallits new home. The only casualties were a few of the base boards, which were easily placed back onto the underside of the case. The public can view

Very, berry storied pies

BY STEPHANIE ELKO Abington Journal Correspondent

AMERICAS BIRTHDAY

Free theatre at Nay Aug Park

Scranton Shakespeare Festival announces that the inaugural offering of the Festival will be REV Theatre Companys free, outdoor production of Midsummer Nights Dream. The June 30 and July 1 performances will be offered at 6 p.m. in Nay Aug Park, Scranton, free to audiences as part of the Scranton Shakespeare Festivals commitment to bringing professional theatre to the community. Attendees are invited to bring blankets or chairs. For further information call. 570.487.3954

Past Abington Heights High School, over the rolling hills and through the woods lies Williams Pies and Country Store, a bakery passed down through generations. The bakery offers homemade seasonal pies; recipes that came from County Cork, Ireland. Bread, pastries, pizza dough, produce and breakfast and lunch are also available. Rich Williams and his wife Laurel own the bakery. For Rich, its a full -time job. He arrives at the bakery at 4 a.m. and leaves at 6 p.m., making about 200 pies each week. She works as a psychiatric aid at the Clarks Summit State Hospital, and on days off helps run the shop. While fresh berries and filling are important, Rich Williams believes the crust is most essential.All the dough is handworked and only a bit of water is used to bind the crust. Each batch is measured in lumps of shortening and sprinkles of salt because the right consistency depends on the temperature and humidity of the day. The less water you add to your dough the better. The crust is the most critical part, he said. The bakery purchases its berries and produce from Rosensteins and Marketplace Deli. In the past, Rich Williams father enlisted berry pickers, sometimes his children, to head into the mountains for the sweet pie fillings. Now, the younger Williams hopes to bring that

Husband and wife, Rich and Laurel Williams, aim to continue the Williams Pies tradition at their Country Store in Clarks Summit. back. The duo uses pie fillings that are in season because most berries do not can or freeze well. Rich said the seasons best are blueberry, strawberry, rhubarb, peach and cherry. The bake shop opened in1946 on North Main Avenue in West Scranton. By1951owners Roy and Ann Williams were baking 500 pies per week and had to relocate to the well-known spot at Blakely and Grove streets in Dunmore. The business closed in1989 and reopened last year at its new location at 2613 Milwaukee St. in Clarks Summit. Roys customers are loyal to Williams Pies. According to Rich Williams, his father baked to his customers liking. Rich said his father refused to compromise the quality of his pies just to make more money. The Williams are people persons. They are very thoughtful and hard workers. Their main ingredient is L. O. V E., . said Linda Hegadus, a customer who frequents the bakery. Richs goals are to reestablish his fathers name and make the bakery a destination. Its just a wonderful and welcoming environment. The dough is made from scratch and so is everything else. Bringing a pie [from Williams Pies] to someones home is like bringing a gift, said Lisa Montella, a customer who sampled a breakfast sandwich on Williams homemade bread.

I had no feeling in my feet and did not feel comfortable walking up steps and maintaining my balance. My feet would swell and hurt so bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me because I couldnt walk even in my bare feet. Now I can walk in my Theresa Matthews bare feet and I love it. I now can walk up and down steps easily and dont have the severe pain that I had. I recommend Neuropathy Center of Kingston to everyone I know. I also like the people here. Its like being part of a family.

Trail talks revised dress code

BY BEN FREDA Abington Journal Correspondent

Perfect attendance
In front: Chris Strein. Back row, from left: Mrs. Pamela Murray, High School Principal; Mr. Marc Wyandt, High School Assistant Principal; Dr. Michael Mahon, Superintendent of Schools; Mr. Andrew Snyder, High School Assistant Principal. Strein was honored for having perfect attendance through his entire school career.

Melinda Kampnich and Lisann Babcock of New Hope Baptist Church, Watertown, N.Y. attend the 2012 LYFE Womens Conference at Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit.

FACTORYVILLE Superintendent Matthew Rakauskas discussed revised dress code policies and disciplinary consequences for violations at the Lackawanna Trail School District Board of Education meeting held at the Elementary Center June 11. Parent Teacher Organization president Tracy Wescott said there had been no revisions of the dress code posted on the schools web site. Those will be posted tomorrow, Rakauskas said. He read aloud the disciplinary consequences, which were revised in the student dress policy. The administration reserves the right to elevate the level of an offense dependent upon its severity, he read. Parent contact will be made for each violation. Regardless of the level or consequence, the student may not return to class unless he or she conforms to the policy. He listed consequences for each number of offenses and said that number will not decline after a student abides by the dress code within the 180day school period. One of the new requirements: Socks must be worn if the shoe style is closed toe. In addition, high school principal John Rushefski talked about girls formal attire rule, which states that a blouse without a collar may be worn if it meets modesty expectations. Rakauskas mentioned that Spirit Days dress code will be designated and communicated by administration. Rushefski said students are permitted to wear a sports jersey or T-shirt on Fridays of the last day of the school week. If they are part of a team, they want to wear a jersey, thats the day to wear it, said Rushefski. If they are not part of a team, not part of a group and they bought a Tshirt, they can wear that on that last day of the week. Were going to try that up until midterms if this cause does pass. Well keep the board posted if this does pass as its written. Later in the meeting, board member Carol Selwood made a motion that the dress code entitled Dress & Grooming be approved for a second reading. The first reading was done at the work session June 4. The motion was carried 8-1. In other business, board member David Thorne made a motion that Kim Hursts resignation as Mathematics Department Chairperson be accepted. The board approved. Board member Judith Johnson made motions to appoint Robert Fitzsimmons as Girls Basketball Coach at a stipend of $4,750 and Betty Jo Bergey as Basketball Cheerleading Advisor at a stipend of $1,750, as per the collective bargaining agreement. The board approved both. Board member Dr. Michael Mould made a motion to appoint Harry Powell as Athletic Director . The motion was carried 8-1.

LYFE Womens Conference marks 30th year

Nearly 900 women attended the LYFE Womens Conference in June at Baptist Bible College, a time of reunions, spiritual refreshment and personal growth that marked its 30th year. Carrying the theme Impressions: We are all flawed women loved by a flawless God, the event focused on a single weekend rather than over two. Those in attendance were treated to words of best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs, who served as keynote speaker. She was joined by recording artist Damaris Carbaugh, the 321Improv Comedy group and numerous workshop presenters and speakers. The 2013 LYFE Womens Conference, themed Simply Living, will be held June 6-8. The featured speaker will be Sherrie Holloway, a veteran educator and basketball coach. The guest artist for the weekend will be performer Jeff Smith of Salt & Light Ministries. RiSE, a BBC student worship band, will be the featured musical guest.

PSWS faculty present research

Reference librarian Tierney Lyons and nursing instructor Michael Evans presented their research titled, The Use of Asynchronous Discussion Boards to Increase Student Learning: An InterdisciplinEvans ary Approach at the Sigma Theta Tau International Beta Sigma Chapter Research Day at Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. The study was conducted with the help of a Teaching Project Grant from the Lyons Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence. They also presented to their colleagues and peers at a faculty seminar held at Penn State Worthington Scranton. The pairs research focused on whether the use of asynchronous discussion boards as an adjunctive teaching strategy to traditional classroom lecture in an undergraduate nursing research course leads to differences in student satisfaction and reflective thinking. Their research was conducted at the Worthington Scranton campus during the 2011Fall semester in the Nursing 200w course, taught by Dr. Milton Evans.

Battle of Midway commemorated

Navy Cmdr. Michelle D. Morse, whose husband John is the son of Linda L. Phillips of Clarks Summit, is currently deployed. Morse, along with fellow Sailors and Marines aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway with a ceremony, a fitting tribute given the ships close ties to the battle. The previous USS Enterprise (CV 6) and her wing played a role in the pivotal World War II battle that took place June 4-7, 1942. The Battle of Midway is regarded as the turning point in the war of the Pacific. Alongside three other carriers the USS Enterprise and the U.S. Strike Forces defeated the Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force under the direction of commander in chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Adm. Yamamoto. USS Enterprise and her wing were credited with sinking three of the four Japanese carriers that day at Midway. Hamilton, Commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Capt. Jeffery L. Trent and Capt. Joseph J. Leonard, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 2, also spoke about the roles USS Enterprise, the air wing and the destroyer strike group played during the battle.

students involved with chess club. Osterhout took the bull by the horns to institute an eightcourse cooking program, acting class and all-star sports. These resulted in acting performed for an audience and students cooking dinners for parents. It worked out so well, said Osterhout. And it was a lot of fun. Osterhout said these were new to the PTA. I did a few things that were different. I started the rummage sale, talent show, Club Waverly, PTA appreciation dinner and Winter Festival. Parents and students played a major role. Because they didnt like the traditional method of support, asking for more money, this approach was a welcome change, she said. Osterhout said that she aimed for a laid back approach at PTA meetings, where it used to be more formal. At meetings, she served hors doeuvres. I was getting together with my friends. Its a very relaxed atmosphere where people can talk and feel more comfortable. And everybody gets a gift, she said. Osterhout says she has a budget of $13,000 to $15,000 per calendar yearto support teachers, students and classrooms. Each child receives a book from the book fair. The PTA funds some books for third and fourth grades and newsletters. According to Osterhout, the fundraisers cover the balance, and excess is immediately given to the school. Even though things havent been great in the economy, weve seen tremendous success. She served on the board for two years as vice president. After leaving for the birth of her youngest child, she was asked to return by the person who replaced her. Osterhout felt it was the perfect opportunity to help institute new plans. Parents and teachers are so encouraging. Its a lot of work, but its so much fun, said Osterhout. I made this like we were always throwing a party and thats what we did. The PTA recognition dinner last year recognized everybody. It was held at Nichols Village. Teachers, parents, staff and volunteers left feeling good and appreciated for what they did. As outgoing president, Osterhout said she looks forward to still being involved in the Waverly PTA. Sarah Van Belle is the new president stepping up and, Osterhout said, the future is with Van Belle. Osterhout attended Abington Heights High School and studied communications and early childhood education at East Stroudsburg. She is married to David Osterhout who works in South Abington Township as part of the maintenance and road crew. They have three children: Mariah, 12; Kylie, 9 and Addison, 2.

another, each jockeying for position. Soon they land, oneby-one, on the designated area to the cheers and applause of the crowd. Staff Sgt. Jen Schaben, of Portsmouth, Iowa, has been jumping with the team for four years. She started civilian jumping while in the Army and decided to try out for the Golden Knights. She, along with others trying out, underwent a twomonth assessment and selection program where soldiers are evaluated on their jumping skills, as well as their ability to be coached and be good teammates.

Its an honor to be here and showcase what the Army can do, she said. Sgt. 1st Class J.D. Berentis explained how he repacks his 295- square foot chute. Before folding the shoot, we lay it outwe can look and see if there are holes in it, he said. He added that because of the nature of the special rip-stop nylon used, the chutes rarely tear. The best way to look for holes, he said, was while the parachute is in use. A parachutist for more than 20 years, Berentis couldnt be happier with his career choice. I have definitely got the best job in the world, he said.

MISNOMER

named for an area of New Jersey where many original settlers came from, while Ransom is named for a hero of the Wyoming Massacre. You can always tell if someone is not from the immediate area, as they will use Newton-Ransom as if both are one township. Only three entities bear the combination moniker, according to Kveragas: Newton-Ransom Boulevard, a state road that links the two townships; the fire company (Newton -Ransom Volunteer Fire Company) and Newton-Ransom Elementary School. The former Newton-Ransom High School located on Newton-Ransom Boulevard, which is currently the Newton Recreation Center, was at one time the core of the two townships. Thats why it was the NewtonRansom High School, said Kveragas, who serves as an auditor for Newton Township. Newton Township was formed in 1844 and Ransom was formed from Newton Township, Kveragas said, when in 1849, according to local legend, Ransom residents splintered off. The general consensus on why Ransom was formed is over (travel for) voting. It was before the advent of autos and traveling was more difficult. This is a fairly common reason why so many munis (municipalities) were formed back then. He added, Even today Ransom is split by the spines of Bald and West Mountains and it is impossible to drive from Milwaukee to Mount Dewey without leaving the township, said Kveragas. Some other comparisons Kveragas mentioned: Newton is 22 square miles and Ransom is 19; 2,600 people live in Newton and 1,500 live in Ransom. Newton and Ransom townships are often referred to as Clarks Summit, but neither township borders Clarks Summit, said

Kveragas. There are similarities, as evidenced in the rich agricultural heritage of Newton and Ransom townships, which have retained the pristine scenery and panoramic views of the farm fields as much as possible, despite the growth of residential housing. In the past, the two townships were essentially treated like Mikey in the classic (LIFE) cereal commercial. If the urban areas didnt want something they sent it up here. That led to the Clarks Summit State Hospital Scranton Municipal Airport, etc., being sited in both townships. Yet all, like the commercial, turned out to be good things for the recipients, as good paying jobs and other benefits were created locally, said Kveragas.

Public works director Thomas James spoke with Milnes engineering and both feel that no more testing is necessary. A budget is being drafted by Milnes as well as a letter for DEP addressing the issue.

At the beginning of his yearlong foray into the mysteries of memory, Joshua Foer imagines that if he could, like Ben Pridmore, then the reigning world memory champion, remember 50,000 digits of pi and memorize the order of a deck of playing cards in less than a minute, he would become in some fundamental sense, smarter. Right off the bat, I found myself disagreeing with this premise, but Im glad that didnt keep me from reading his book, Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything. If I remember correctly, it was fascinating, wellresearched and surprisingly entertaining. Although youll pick up some interesting tips about how to improve your own memory along the way, Moonwalking is not a self-help book. Rather, it is Foers account of the year he spends training for and competing in the 2005 USA Memory Championship. Foer gets interested in this project after reporting on the event for Slate Magazine and meeting Ed Cooke, a memory grand master from England, who claims that anyone can become the proud possessor of a prodigious memory. Foer is skeptical, since, like me, he cant even remember where he has left his car keys most of the time, but with Cooke as his trainer, Foer gives it a try. To establish a baseline, he travels to the Human Performance Lab at Florida State University, where researchers study how the minds of people who are experts in their fields work. His plan is to have his memory tested before and after his training, so hell really know whether his memory has improved significantly. There he learns about the magic number seven, and how experts overcome this mental impasse. According to scientists who study memory, most peoples brains can only think about seven things at a time. However, people who are experts in their fields do much better. Ergo: the more time you spend learning about a specific subject area, the more youll remember about it. Well duh. There were, for me, many more well duh moments in this book stuff I already knew or that was just common sense, and I found this annoying. For example: its easier to remember concrete things than abstractions; we remember better when we have a context and can make associations; and we remember more when we pay attention and are interested in something. Geeno kidding! All this seemed like a revelation to Foer, however. What didnt annoy me, and why I kept reading, were the stories of people with exceptional memories, from the man who has no memories to the savants whose memories are astonishing. I also found the material on the history of memory, its psychology, and its inherent nature fascinating. Foer did a prodigious amount of research for this book, and he has a gift for communicating complex theory and ideas in a way thats understandable and interesting without talking down to his readers. I was especially interested in his explanation for why we have become a nation of non-memorizers, and because of this, why our memories are so underdevel-

oped. Consider Homer. He didnt write The Odyssey or The Iliad; he sang or spoke them. And for a very, very long time, his words were passed down orally. Even after people started writing, books were rare and hard to read, so people committed their words to memory. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the only way to know something was to memorize it, and if you had a poor memory, or were lazy, you could like the wealthy Roman Calvisius Sabinus, make your slaves memorize Homer or Hesiod. Today, we have been made as lazy as Sabinus because we too rely on external memories. Thanks to our GPS devices, our Blackberries, IPads and Google, we dont have to remember much of anything. Even the phone numbers we used to know by heart are stored in our cell phones. Technology is great, but Foer makes us wonder about the price we pay for all this convenience. Im sure youre wondering where Foer got the title for his book, as I did. It comes from a room in his memory palace, the place he learned to store reminders that would help him remember long strings of unrelated numbers, names and faces, and the correct sequence in a deck of shuffled cards all skills he will need to compete in the USA Memory Championship. What you do is take a place you remember vividly: your childhood home, for example. Then you create associations between what you want to remember and vivid person-action-object descriptions, or PAOs, and place these PAOs in sequence in your memory palace. Thus, during the competition, when Foer must memorize the order of a deck of cards faster than his competitors, he places, at the foot of his parents bedroom door, an image of himself (four of spades) moonwalking (king of diamonds) with Einstein (three of diamonds). However, when I tried to employ the system in order to remember the 10 things on my todo list for the day, I discovered that theres a tremendous drawback to the memory palace system. Oh, I had great fun placing an image of a hog-caller screaming in my cats ear just inside my front door so that Id remember to call Busters vet first thing, and so on. But heres the rub: you have to remember all these cute little images and where youve put them! Sadly, I couldnt get past the magic number seven. I dont feel too bad about this. After all, Foer had a year to practice the technique. Even more comforting was the fact that, despite winning the USA Memory Competition and doubling the number of digits he could recall when he went back to Florida for his post-test, Foer still cant remember where hes parked his car, or for that matter, where he has put his keys. Anyway, I hope youll remember to read this book. If my memory serves me, I enjoyed it very much.

SCRANTON- Everyone has some dirty laundry in their hamper, but not everyone is brave enough to air it out in front a crowd. But, for the sake of entertainment and good old-fashioned storytelling, Abington Heights High School rising senior Zoe McNichols and her mother, Pamela McNichols of Clarks Summit, have gathered a group of local celebrities to do just that for the second Scranton StorySlam, where they will share a true, personal, fiveminute story without notes inspired by the theme Dirty Laundry. The first, held at the former Vintage Theater in Scranton in March, was organized by Zoe as her senior project with the help of Maureen McGuigan, the Lackawanna County Deputy Director for Arts and Culture. She was inspired by a storyslam in Brooklyn, N.Y. produced by The Moth, an organization that conducts live storytelling events, and decided that Scranton would be the next among many other major cities to adopt the events. It was such a big success. We had over 160 people at the last event, and people loved it. People expressed that they wanted to be able to tell their own stories. When Zoe did it as a senior project the first time, we anticipated that it would get a warm reception here in Scranton. Ideally, we wanted it to be something that was ongoing like it is in other cities, Pamela McNichols explained. We had no idea what we would get, and we never expected such a great turnout. Following that success, the second is scheduled June 30 at The Banshee, 320 Penn Ave-

.,Scranton, a venue that will not only be more comfortable, but allow the storyslams to grow. The Banshee is much larger and can handle a lot more peopleThey serve food and have over 50 craft beers on tap, so I think people will be happy. And theyre willing to do an all-ages show, so we can continue to include the teens. At the last event we had kids all the way up to people in their 70s. It was a wide audience, she said. We always pick a general theme just to tie the night together and all the stories together and also to allow the storytellers the freedom to take it wherever they want to goWe wanted something that would get peoples attention, so its a little bit racy, but its a broad theme, so storytellers can take it in any direction. In fact, some of them are taking it literally, or they might have a combination of talking about laundry but also airing dirty laundry in that theyre going to be sharing secrets about themselves or their families. Local actor Conor McGuigan will return as Master of Ceremonies, and the storytellers this time are poet and manager at Library Express Andrea Talarico; comedian and Rock 107 DJ Dave DiRienzo; filmmaker and Community Film Project President Jeff Fowler; poet and co-founder of Prose in Pubs Jim Warner; freelance writer, SEO at Solid Cactus, and NEPABlogCon co-organizer Mandy Boyle; documentarian and playwright Mau-

We look for people who are active in the art community writers, performers, people that kind of have a following that will want to come out and hear them tell a storyIts nice if people know them. That kind of helps because then you can really generate some hype about the event, and then more people come out, McNichols noted. Courageous audience members can also spill their secrets on stage, as two of ten spots in the lineup are reserved for those who put their name in a hat and will be chosen at random. A panel of judges, including Marywood University professor Laurie McMillan and Tunkhannock Area High School teacher Katie Wisnosky, will decide the winner, who will take home $50 and a Slammy, the Scranton StorySlam trophy. Im looking forward to the stories, of course, and also just being together and having a good time. The storytellers really get excited and their friends really enjoy hearing the talesI cant wait to hear what kinds of stories people come up withThe possibilities are endless, said McNichols.

goals of the competition is to nurture gifted, talented musicians as they perform with sensitivity, individuality and expression, as well as good technique. In light of this, it has taken many hours of practice for all of the finalists to reach this stage in the competition. Each finalist has been practicing for at least an hour a day, and some of the pianists started their careers at the age of three and a half. If you are doing the math this adds up to about 4,500 hours of practice. This practice has certainly paid off. According Deborah

C.S. man becomes national champion

BY ABINGTON JOURNAL STAFF

Clarks Summit resident Steve Mann was able to win his first Open National Powerlifting Championships June 25 in Orlando, Fla., according to his website. Mann squatted a personal best 837- pound squat, a personal best and National Record 633pound bench press and a 655- pound deadlift, according to the site. Mann comSteve Mann peted in the national championships for the first time since 2007. I like competing against the top guys and I like increasing my number, Mann said in a May interview with The Abington Journal. I dont want to do it at an event that doesnt challenge me, so the challenge is really where its at- whether its at a world championships event or a World Games event. Mann said he also stays away from performance enhancing drugs. I like to compete at a drug-free level whether other countries or athletes choose to do whatever they want to try to get themselves there, Mann said. I could always look at my accomplishments and know that I did it in the purest way. This win gives Mann his first shot at the Open World Championships in Puerto Rico this fall, which this year is a qualifying event for the Olympic -sanctioned World Games even to be held in summer, 2013.Ive had a good year, Mann said in May. I have four kids and Id been working a couple jobs. My wife and I worked our way out of debt last year, so I finally got rid of my secondary job and Ive been able to get more focus and more sleep.

At the upcoming Seventeenth Annual South Abington Township Police and Maintenance Departments Childrens Fishing Derby, young anglers should bring nothing more than a fishing pole and a love for fishing and outdoors. According to Thom Kreidler, derby chair, this years derby will be held July 21, 9 a.m. to1:30 p.m. at Lackawanna State Park. Kreidler said, This is our17th annual derby and we want to get the kids out to see that police arent bad guys. And were trying to give the kids an alternative to drinking and drugs, and give them an opportunity to get out and see whats available in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The derby began years ago with 67 anglers and has grown to include as many as 400 children. Approximately135 children participated in the 2011catch and release derby, which is held rain or shine.

Kreidler added, Every year, we sell T-shirts and in past years, the proceeds from the T-shirts went to persons in the community, including children who were sick or injured, or police officers and their families. This year, were dedicating the derby and the proceeds of the T-shirt sales to the families of Mickey Keen. Mickey was a judge for the past15 fishing derbiesHe passed away in August of 2011, just after the derby. He was 53-yearsold and died unexpectedly. He has supported us as a judge for15 years and he was a nice guy. Bait for the derby will be provided by sponsors, along with free hot dogs and soda and a raffle with a variety of prizes. Prizes for the largest fish in three age groups will be awarded. Kreidler noted the derby committee is seeking sponsors for the event. To register, stop by the South Abington Township Building, Shady Lane Road, or email satpd@comcast.net.

races each year, including twice a week at Cedar BMX. Vargo said he has traveled across the nation to compete in BMX events, including to Georgia and Michigan for national competitions. Ive been to California... Ive been all over, Vargo said. Its nice to get to know the whole country. Dan Uhranowsky, 12, and his sister Sarah, 15, also took part in the day of racing. Dan, who competes in the expert-class, said he started racing six years ago and loves the thrill of the sport, especially from the jumps. I love jumping, Dan Uhranowsky said. Just whipping and flying around... Its fun. Sarah Uhranowsky, who races at the intermediate level, said she got into the sport about two years ago after watching her brother. I decided to try it, just to see what its like, Sarah Uhranowsky said. I just liked it after that. She said she loves the unique feel of BMX compared to other sports. Its such a different sport, Sarah Uhranowsky said. A lot of people dont really know what BMX is. You meet a lot of different people. Its great. Frankie Regal, 16, hoped to get closer to the expert level after the June 23 event. An intermediate-class racer, Regal said he was five wins away from his 25th win, which would let him turn expert. Regal, who started BMX four years ago after he saw a poster in a bike shop, said he loves the competition about BMX. Youre never sitting on the bench, Regal said. Billy Gentile, 7, was proof age was not a restriction for those who wanted to race. Gentile, an intermediate racer who has raced for two years, said he got into the sport thanks to his brother. My brother was racing before me, Gentile said. This is his fourth year. I wanted to try it. Gentile said he also loves the competition and winning trophies and stuff. Rosencrance, who occasionally races herself for fun, said her enjoyment of running the track comes in large part from the camaraderie between the racers. The sportsmanship among the riders is special, Rosencrance said. The older riders always look out for the younger guys. There is never any bullying. For Rosencrance, the focus always stays on one thing. Fun, Rosencrance said. Thats what its all about. Fun.

Last year, in one day, she caught more than 20 fish. In Tennessee, every time I go, I catch 1520 per day and I dont fish all day, said deFreitas-Charlesworth, who added that her favorite fishing destination is Elizabethton, Tenn. She has fished in the Bahamas, Argentina and Chile. Her fly fishing equipment includes an Orvis 9-foot-5weight fly rod, waders, boots with socks, vest, and polarized sunglasses to help to see fish in the streams. Adult men and women who are interested in trying their hand at fly fishing can take free lessons in June and July at A & G Outfitters, an authorized Orvis dealer, located at 542 Boulevard Ave., Dickson City.

Catherine Colombo

Strength, focus led to state title

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE
rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com

Catherine Colombo could not have experienced a better first season as a competitive gymnast. The Glenburn Twp. resident earned 12 medals and two trophies, and was named a Pennsylvania State Champion. Colombo trains at the United Sports Academy in Dunmore under former Olympian, Dima Raynova. According to Catherine Colombos mother, Cara, the academy has two teams consisting of 75 girls. Fourteen of those girls, including Catherine, earned the title of State Champion. She has improved greatly under the guidance of Rayanova and the other coaches at the academy. They taught me a lot of different skills and have helped me become a better dancer, she said. After being involved in gymnastics since the age of three of four, it was a big thrill for Colombo to be crowned a state champion in her first year as a competitor. It was really exciting, she said. At first I didnt know that I was the champion. I thought they were going to announce it at the end. I didnt know until my mom mentioned it to me. At states, she finished first in the vault with a score of 9.525. She also earned third place on uneven bars, with a score of 9.25. Her level Copper team for United Sports Academy finished second overall in the team standings. According to Colombo, it

takes a lot of time and dedication to perform at a high level. The 10-year old trains six hours a week, and only takes one week off in the summer. It took a lot of hard work (to become champion), she said. It takes a lot of strength and focus. Colombos favorite aspects of the sport are the power and challenge of it. She likes how hard you have to work to succeed. When she is not practicing gymnastics, Colombo enjoys swimming, playing the piano and singing. She credited the experiences of her previous onstage performances playing the piano and singing for her poise under pressure as a gymnast. I got used to big crowds, so I wasnt as timid, she said. In September 2011, she also helped break a Guinness World Record for the most handstands done simultaneously, with the help of her brother, Burke, her cousin, Molly OMalley, and many people at her gym. Around the country, 20,478 people also participated. Colombo, who is homeschooled in the Abington Heights School District, recently completed fourth grade. It helps me balance school and gymnastics, she said of being homeschooled. I dont have to rush home and do homework. According to dad Mark and mom Cara Colombo, Catherine is very artistic, creative and loves to write poetry and short stories.
