RIDE OF THEIR LIVES
C
larks Summit native Danielle Fleming, owner of Da-
nielle and Company, Scranton, said she is an entrepre-
neur at heart and loves launching newideas and prod-
ucts. Homemade and home
grown are adjectives that could de-
scribe her latest endeavor and hobby:
food swapping.
On July11, the Scranton Cultural
Center at The Masonic Temple hosted
the premier event of NEPASwappers (ANortheastern Pa.
Food Swapping Community). Fleming founded the group
in April 2012, and organized the event to give members of
the community an opportunity to exchange and converse,
and to celebrate and share homemade food in the region.
Its also about building a friendship and sharing a story,
said Fleming, whose interest in canning and preserving
homemade and home grown grewroots out of a family tradi-
tion and most recently, a summer spent in Princeton, N.J.
Last summer I was in Princeton, N.J., and there were
farmers market every day to go to. I started getting into
canning and preservingI canned years ago, but got
away fromit. I borrowed my moms canning pot that was
passed down to her by her mother, so it has lots of histo-
ry and that is all part of the canning/preserving move-
ment. There is an old school feel to it that I adore, said
Fleming. I started following Marisa McClellans blog
last summer and started cooking and canning up a
storm- preserving everything frompeaches and
pears to making my own ketchup and mus-
tard.
Throughout the world and in larger metro-
politan cities such as Philadelphia and Los
Angeles, food swapping events are held

FACTORYVILLE- It
was announced at the
July 11 Factoryville Bor-
ough Council meeting
that a new traffic light
will be installed near
Keystone Collegeon
Route 6 and 11.
Council has the option
of installing an additional
red warning signal light.
Borough Manager Mary
Ellen Buckbee informed
the board that she re-
ceived a letter from
PennDOT stating that the
red warning signal will
be located on LaPlume
Township property and
that Township does not
feel it should pay for the
additional light.
The borough will own
and maintain the traffic
signal , but if we want
the red warning signal
we will have to pay for
it, because the neigh-
boring township has al-
ready said no to the pur-
chase, said Buckbee.
Board member Tom Da-
vis said, The light is
needed, but I dont feel
the red warning light
prior to the stop light is
needed.
After discussion, the
board agreed to send a
letter to PennDOT stating
that Factoryville Borough
will maintain the traffic
light but will not take on
cost of the red warning
signal light.

Most of us thought the
Supreme Court would uphold
the decision, she said. Now,
most clients are in a wait- and

tion.
The new health care law
prohibits insurance compa-
niesfrom dropping coverage
if subscribers get sick, billing
into bankruptcy because of an
annual or lifetime limit, or,
soon, discriminating against
anyone with a pre-existing
condition.
In this industry, the mess-
age to employers has been
pretty consistent since the
ACA was enacted dont
ignore it, said Wylam.
Still, we know that many
employers avoided the subject
in the hope that the law
would be dismantled or
struck down completely. Em-
ployers who chose this tact
need to allow the ruling to
serve as their wake up call to
make health care reform a
component of all strategic
business and benefits plan-
ning from this point forward.
People want simplicity,
Wylam said. They want to
know what coverage they
have and they want it at a
reasonable price.
According to a recent sur-
vey conducted by Parent-
ebeard, 67.6 percent of em-
ployers said the provisions of
the act may affect the types
of Health Coverage they offer
employees going forward,
while 23.69 percent indicated
no change to their benefits.
Vantagen is a wholly -owned
subsidiary of ParenteBeard
With cost pressures and
what looks like greater ad-
ministrative and compliance
burdens, all it will take is

ters to start seeing this radical
change become more main-
CLARKS SUMMIT- On
March 23, 2010, President
Barack Obama signed the
Affordable Care Act. The law
puts in place comprehensive
health insurance reforms that
will roll out over four years
and beyond, with most chang-
es taking place by 2014.
There will be a big leap
from now to 2014, Kim Wy-
lam, President and Managing
Partner of Vantagen, an em-
ployee benefits administrator
based in Clarks Summit said.
If the act goes into writing,
businesses will have the deci-
sion whether to offer employ-
ees employer -sponsored
health care.
Wylam added that in some
cases, employers would spend
more money on employee
insurance costs than what the
penalties would be for not
offering coverage.
She believes the pay or
play concept will have the
biggest effect on business
owners. The concept pay or
play, requires employers to
either provide health insur-
ance coverage to employees
or pay a per employee penalty
for not offering such cov-
erage.
Wylam believes the up-
coming election will be crit-
ical to the life of this act.
If all Republicans are
elected, including the presi-
dent, I would say theres a 99
percent chance the whole bill
will be repealed and some-
thing else will come out of
it, she said.
According to Wylam, the
overall reaction to the passing
of the act has been luke-
warm among clients her

James and Karen Arscott, of
Waverly, both physicians, have
a personal motivation for form-
ing and becoming co-directors
of the newPennsylvania Chap-
ter of the Lung Cancer Alli-
ance.
Karen is a lung cancer survi-
vor.
But she never smoked or was
exposed to secondhand smoke.
So when the couple learned she
had lung cancer, she said the
news left themsomewhat in
shock.
Although she did not know
much about the disease at the
time, she can nowlist the grim
statistics off the top of her head:
Lung cancer patients have
a14 to 21percent five-year
survival rate, a prognosis that
hasnt changed in 40 years.
The percentage of lung
cancer patients who currently
smoke is 20, those who already
quit smoking is 60 and those
who never smoked is 20.
160,000 people die of lung
cancer per year.
That would be like a jumbo
jet crashing every day, Arscott
said. And yet, it has the least
research and funding [com-
pared to other types of cancer].
Lung cancer, she said, is the
forgotten cancer.
She said she believes a major
reason for the lack of research
and funding is the stigma at-
tached to the disease, which
assumes if a person has lung
cancer, they must have done
something (like smoking) to
get it.
Arscott said not everyone
who has lung cancer developed
it because of smoking. But, she
said, even if smoking is the
reason, it doesnt mean the
person deserves to die. She said
while there is no doubt about
the connections between the
addiction and disease and al-
though shes always been op-

EDITORS NOTE
Editor,
The Athletic Director for
the Abington Heights School
District recently resigned.
The school board should
not seek to refill this posi-
tion, just as it has not refilled
so many other positions, in-
cluding a number of teachers,
which are vacant due to re-
tirement and resignations.
Unlike the teaching and
other positions, the Athletic
Director is not a necessary
position and does nothing to
enhance the education of the
students.
In fact there is no need for
such a position, period. Sev-
eral years ago at a board
meeting I asked just what the
responsibilities of the Athlet-
ic Director are, and each one
stated is something that could
and should be handled by
other members of the district
staff. Yet the position was
maintained, at a full- time
level, no less, with a salary
and benefit package equal to
or greater than many teachers
receive.
The district was forced to
use attrition regarding the
now vacant positions, and
only then after much eval-
uation and debate. No such
consideration is necessary
over this position, it simply
needs to be eliminated.
The core of any school
district is supposed to be
academics, not athletics.
There is no mandate to have
any interscholastic sports
programs. As such, they need
to be the first area cut in any
school districts budget deci-
sions in lieu of tax increases
or use of reserve funds, in-
cluding the post of Athletic
Director.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor:
Ive been a bagpiper in the
Wyoming Valley Pipe and
Drum Band for 10 years. Im
turning 63 in August. Recent-
ly, at several parades, Ive had
to step aside and let my band
mates take my place in line.
Its not my age thats stopping
me from doing what I love.
Its my asthma and COPD.
I was diagnosed with chron-
ic obstructive pulmonary dis-
ease (COPD) and asthma 15
years ago. Many people are
surprised to find out that I am
able to play the bagpipes with
my asthma and lung compli-
cations. A bagpiper with
asthma, how unusual, one-
of-a kind! they say. Yet, I like
to think my hobby helps my
lungs. As I keep the bag in-
flated by blowing into it
through the blowpipe, I can
feel my lungs growing stron-
ger with each breath.
Unfortunately, it saddens
me that my daughter and my
grandson have also been diag-
nosed with asthma. Its very
important to me that we are
able to still spend time togeth-
er, without our asthma affect-
ing us.
My daughter has been ac-
tively participating in the
Fight for Air Walks, spon-
sored by the American Lung
Association. When I was
asked to perform at the
Wilkes-Barre Fight for Air
Walk, I thought it would be a
great opportunity for my
daughter and I to spend time
together, fighting our asthma
together.
There are many occasions
when my asthma and COPD
can interfere with my enjoy-
ment in performing. The most
recent was at the walk I par-
ticipated in with my daughter.
My lungs couldnt make it.

It means a lot to support a
cause that is so close to our
family. Ill keep coming to the
walks, bringing my daughter
and bagpipe along, as long as
Im able.
Im proud to support the
American Lung Association
and its efforts to fight lung
disease and to ensure healthy
air for all Pennsylvanians. My
family is only one of the many
that your support could help
result in cures for the lung
diseases that have affected
those across Pennsylvania.
Please join the fight against
weakening air pollution regu-
lations. Please contact your
elected officials and let them
know that we expect them to
fight for clean air and stand
up to the companies that want
to put profits before people.
Healthy air means healthy
lungs.

CLARKS SUMMIT- The
Borough of Clarks Summit and
South Abington Township sew-
er agreement was a topic of
discussion at the Clarks Summit
Council meeting July11. At-
torney Greg Pascale was in
attendance, representing a client
caught in the middle of an on-
going dispute between the two
municipalities.
Pascale first approached
Council at its June13 meeting
on behalf of Tech 78, a compa-
ny planning a townhouse devel-
opment on Winola Road. He
said the South Abington Town-
ship Planning Commission gave
conditional approval of the
plans two weeks prior to that
date; one of the conditions re-
quiring a sewer pass-through
agreement be made with the
Borough of Clarks Summit.
Borough Manager Virginia
Kehoe explained at the June13
meeting, We had informed
South Abington Township that
until and unless we resolve our
issues with pass-throughs and
direct connects, that we would
allowno newconnections. So
obviously, thats put Attorney
Pascale in a bind, and thats why
hes here to talk to us.
At that time, council suggest-
ed Pascale get in touch with
South Abington Township So-
licitor Bill Jones. Council stated
that the burden of responsibility
rested with South Abington
Township.
Pascale returned to the July11
meeting, however, unsatisfied
with that response.
Still in negotiation with the
South Abington Township,
Council stood its ground.
Council voted to table the
issue.
Its about fairness for my
client, Pascale said, and if we
cant get this resolved because
of a fight between two munici-
palities, then well have to take
recourse in the courts. Thats all
there is to it.
RansomTownship Super-
visor and Abington Council of
Governments (ACOG) Presi-
dent Dennis Macheska attended
the meeting to report on the
Comcast contract renewal proc-
ess. He said he does not have a
lot of information yet and that
the municipalities will have to
wait the attorney involved. He
said he believes the negation
start date is Sept. 2.
Council recognized the
Abington Memorial VFWPost
7069 for hosting the Clarks
Summit Memorial Day Parade.
Athank-you was read to several
members of the Post in attend-
ance and a certificate presented.
Council voted to pass four
ordinances, including:
Ordinance 2012-05, a cura-
tive amendment to change the
zoning for a property on Old
Lackawanna Trail Rd. froma
manufacturing industry zone to
a commercial zone
Ordinance 2012-06, a park-
ing amendment for Depot Street
Ordinance 2012-07, an
update to the stormwater ordi-
nance

For the first time last year,
chiropractor and certified
fitness trainer Dawn Strick-
land offered a childrens fit-
ness camp, which benefited
the Griffin Pond Animal Shel-
ter, at Dalton Streamside Park
and more than 50 attended.
This year she plans to hold the
camp again.
The camp is designed for
children between the ages of 3
and13 and features different
stations where they can work
out while having fun. The
activities will be geared to-
ward different age groups.
Included among the activities
are an obstacle course, a phys-
ical fitness test, freeze dance
and parachute games.
The camp is designed as a
way to get children away from
video games and TVand out
and staying fit.
Its a great cause. I like to
promote fitness with kids so
they can see that its a lot of
fun, Strickland said.
All proceeds will be donat-
ed to the Griffin Pond Animal
Shelter. Last year, volunteers
fromthe shelter brought a
group of animals for the chil-
dren to pet and enjoy. The
shelter may once again bring
some animals, she said.
Strickland hopes her camp
will help fill a gap in fitness
education, which for the most
part only caters to adults.
There arent a lot of things
for kids. Sometimes its kind
of nice for kids to run around
and have fun and do regular
types of exercises instead of
organized sports.
The suggested donation for
the camp is $5 per child. The
camp runs from10 a.m. to
11:30. For more information,

The Kristyn E. Kromko
Memorial Scholarship
Race, scheduled for July
21 at Baptist Bible Col-
lege, Clarks Summit, is
planned to be a Cele-
bration of life, according
to co-organizer Ruth Man-
cuso, of Tunkhannock.
The event was held for
the first time last year in
memory of Mancusos
niece, Kristyn Kromko, to
raise money for a scholar-
ship fund open to Abing-
ton Heights High School
seniors who display similar
qualities to those remem-
bered in Kromko by her
family and friends.
Kromko died in an auto-
mobile accident April 26,
2010 at age 16, just three
weeks after receiving her
drivers license. She resid-
ed in Clarks Summit with
her parents, Joseph and
Roberta Kromko and
brother, Brandon Kromko.
Following the accident, the
family started a $1,000
scholarship in her memory
at Abington Heights,
where both siblings attend-
ed.
Mancuso said her niece
had a carefree happy-go-
lucky spirit.
She just lit up the
world, she said. She
loved her friends and loved
her family.
Mancuso said the family
started the scholarship out
of gratitude to the commu-
nity, especially the high
school. We just want to
give back, she said.
When Kristyns accident
happened, it was devas-
tating. She added that
people from the school
rallied to the familys side
almost immediately, pro-
viding an abundance of
support, as if they
couldnt help enough.
Even after the atmo-
sphere began to settle, the
support continued. Accord-
ing to Mancuso, Kromko
would have graduated this
year, had she lived, and in
her honor, the class wore
small gold pins on their
gowns at graduation.
The class hasnt forgot-
ten her, and they wont,
Mancuso said.
The support still contin-
ues as Mancuso and her
co-organizer, Kristyns
friend Kate Grow plan the
race. Mancuso said she is
grateful for each of the
many people helping to
make the event happen,
including Kromkos class-
mates who are baking doz-
ens of muffins for that
day.
Its really overwhelming,
Mancuso said. I just men-
tion Kristyns name, and
everyone wants to help
outEveryone has been so
giving, so supportive.
Registration for the race,
which is a two-mile walk
and run, will be held from
7 to 8:30 a.m. and the race
will begin at 9 a.m. Pre-
registration forms are
available for download at
neparunner.com and fork-
ristyn.com. There is a $15
registration fee, which
benefits the Kristyn E.
Kromko Memorial Schol-
arship Fund.
T-shirts, designed by
Kate Grow, will be given
to at least the first 100
registered participants,
along with tote bags and
other surprises. Fruit bas-
kets, drinking water and
muffins will also be avail-
able the day of the race.

Abington Heights School District honored students as Citizens of the
Year.
They are shown, front row, from left: Alison Gilmore, Corey Tokash,
Miriam Barren, Jarred Ocwieja, Sadie Henzes, Tristin Piazza, Adele
Hollander, Rory Harris, and Paige Moletsky. Back row: Elementary
Principal Robert Bugno, Superintendent Dr. Michael Mahon, Elementary
Principal Steven Aquilina, and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Thomas
Quinn.
The students received commemorative plaques.
Students honored at
Abington Heights
in public. It was definitely
intimidating.
The local Rotary Club had
difficulty at first finding a
family willing to host her,
she said. Soon after her arriv-
al, many were volunteering.
She ended up living with
seven different families over
a nine-month period. Murithi
emphasized that she could
not help but fall in love with
the Filipino people. They
were very welcoming and
just so hospitable, she said.
Murithi was placed in
Lucena. She said the Rotar-
ians there felt she would have
a better experience of their
culture if she visited those
cities that were not Amer-
icanized. The slight problem
for Murithi was
that she had
not learned
the language,
Tagalog. The
Philippines
isthe third
largest En-
N
oni Murithi, 17, is no
stranger to interna-
tional travel. Stamped
on her passport are visas
fromthe Netherlands, Belgi-
um, England, France, Kenya,
Panama, Slovakia and Jamai-
ca among others. She lives
with her momand younger
brother in South Abington
Twp.
As a native of Kenya and
world traveler herself, Mu-
rithis mother, Tata Mbugua
felt it was important for her
children to travel and learn
about culture by living with
the locals. Traveling with her
family instilled a great appre-
ciation for life abroad, and
the Rotary Club of the
Abingtons exchange student
programseemed like another
way to experience a place
newto her: the Philippines.
The Philippines were un-
like any place she had visited,
Murithi said, and most strik-
ing for her was the general
reaction to her skin color.
The Philippines are a homo-
geneous society; any foreign-
er stands out. Unsettling to
Murithi was their viewof
beauty: white is beautiful.
She could not find a skin
product without lightening
agents. After a fruitless
search for moisturizer that
would not change her skin
tone, her mother had to send
some fromthe United States.
Ive never had any prob-
lemwith my skin or the
way I look; when my host
parents told me I should try
skin lighteners to look
more beautiful, I simply
said no.
In a place with so much
common ancestry, people
would openly stare at her
glish-speaking country in the
world. However, in Lucena
everyone spoke Tagalog.
It was about four months
before I got a handle on the
language. We traveled a lot to
different parts of the Philip-
pines and were exposed to
different dialects too. It made
it very confusing, said Mu-
rithi.
The cuisine, different from
anything else Murithi had
experienced, held several
surprises..
One morning for breakfast,
she received what she
thought was a hard-boiled
egg. She cracked into it and
discovered a half-developed
bird fetus, with feathers and a
beak, or a balut, a delicacy
enjoyed by Filipinos.
Here a family might
bring home pizza as a
treat on a Friday night.
There, a tray of balut
would be brought home,
and everyone was excited
about it, said Murithi. It
was common to see ven-
dors selling ske-
wered bats on the
streets and wild
dog meat in-
cluded with stir
fry dishes.
On a normal
day, she was
served rice four
to five times.
I became so
sick of rice.
Even at
McDonalds,
instead of
serving French
fries, you got
rice. If you said
no to rice, people would tease
you and assume you must be
on a diet.
In Lucena, Murithi studied
as a high school senior. There
the school day is10 hours
and students attend until age
16.
Teens who were dating
often attended church togeth-
er, said Murithi. And the only
time Murithi was allowed to
meet up with friends socially
was at church-related gather-
ings. The Philippines are
approximately 83 percent
Catholic, and Murithi ob-
served, very devout. During
the Holy Week, she recalled
spending an entire day at-
tending14 different churches
of the14 different saints
considered there to be the
most important. One of her
host mothers organized
weekly prayer meetings.
Murithi said she thinks
more students should take
advantage of the opportunity
presented by the Rotary Club
of the Abingtons.
Culture is omnipresent in
a society. Its not just what
you wear and traditional
dances and food. It includes
the smaller things that you
really start to notice when
you go somewhere complete-
ly different, said Murithi.
I felt very much like an
ambassador of the United
States when I was there.
Murithi said she would like
to focus on international
studies when she attends
college and someday be an
official ambassador of the
United States in a foreign
country.

Biking along the crowded
boardwalk in Ocean City on
July 4th, I had to be careful not
to collide with other bikers,
runners and walkers. There
were people of all ages, fam-
ilies exercising together. I sawa
father and son on a bicycle for
two, three generations in a
surrey cart and a mother and
her teenage daughter running
side by side. There were several
older folks being pushed in
wheelchairs and small children
riding with the aid of training
wheels.
Weve been vacationing at
the Jersey shore for years, rent-
ing a house with extended fam-
ily and friends. The role of
exercise in the shore house has
changed dramatically. Before
we all had kids, the competition
was in the drinking games wed
play into the wee hours. Agood
game of quarters at night would
give way to a lot of groggy
young adults waking midday,
just in time to get to the beach.
When the babies started to
arrive, the focus was on trying
to get a fewhours of sleep. No
one had the energy to exercise
as our childrens fussiness was
exacerbated by the close quar-
ters and unfamiliar surround-
ings.
This year the shift was clear.
All of the adults and a good
portion of the children in the
house got out and exercised
each morning. We had a moth-
er/father teamthat ran to the
beach and then swamalong the
shore. One morning they re-
galed us with the story of
swimming next to a large sting
ray. My sister and her husband
go running and my teenage
niece joined them. They came
back to tell of their block-long
sprints and who had won that
day. My husband and I pack
bikes, one child and one adult-
sized, and we go out in pairs. It
was interesting each morning to
see who was up and out first,
who ran or biked the farthest
and if anyone of us dared to
skip a workout and just sleep in.
When I was a kid, we didnt
exercise with our parents. My
father played tennis with his
friends and my mother took a
sporadic jazzercise class. I was
into ballet and softball, but
those activities didnt followme
into adulthood. I was already a
mother of two before exercise
became a part of my routine. I
had tried gyms and aerobics in
my 20s. Back then, as a doughy
girl with an affinity for beer
and potato chips, I really need-
ed it. But it wasnt until
Browns Gymnearly ten years
ago, that I caught on.
Maybe it was the free child-
care, an attractive perk for a
24/7 stay-at-home mom. May-
be it was my new, fit, mom
friends who provided not only
social interaction, but peer
pressure to go. When my tod-
dlers would whine and say they
didnt want to go along with
me, Id have to remind them
that it was I who carted themto
all of their classes and sports
and waited for them. Couldnt
they showme the same respect?
Id remind themthat its healthy
for parents to exercise, so we
can be strong and live long. I
reminded myself that I was
role-modeling healthy habits.
Mom, when can I join the
gym? Ive heard this refrain
for the past fewyears frommy
oldest. I look forward to the day
she is of age to work out along-
side me.
In addition to the efforts our
children see my husband and I
make to exercise, (frequent
conversations about whose turn
it is to go, since the baby is still
too young for Browns child
care room) they have other
positive influences in the com-
munity. Our neighbor is a mara-
thon runner and often invites
our children to train with her.
Theres the Waverly Waddle,
which plenty of the middle
school kids participate in every
year. There are kids gyms like
Fitwize and My Gymin Scran-
ton, which have offered classes
as part of Waverly Elementarys
after school program. My
daughters Brownie troop took
Zumba together and there is a
long list of sports offered by
Waverly township for a nominal
fee.
There is so much chatter in
the media about the sedentary
screen time habits of kids
today. On the other hand, it
seems there are plenty of chil-
dren too busy running to keep
up with their parents to sit still
for long.

Ciao! Last week students
in the Dietrich Food & Cul-
ture Around the World class
started their culinary trav-
els in Italy. Under the direc-
tion of Seasons Restaurants
Executive Chef Bruce Arro-
wood and the Dietrichs Cul-
tural Assistant Laurel Rad-
zieski, 11 young chefs be-
tween the ages of 10 and 16
learned some of the tradi-
tions of Italy as well as cre-
ated some of that countrys
most well known foods. In
less than 90 minutes, the
group had whipped up meat-
balls, miniature pizzas as
well as biscotti. And believe
me, it all smelled delicious.
Plus Bruce and Laurel taught
the kids about proper food
handling and restaurant
kitchen hygiene. This week
the kids will be touring Mex-
ico on their culinary adven-
ture. I cant wait to see (and
taste) what they create. We
would like to thank Bruce
for volunteering his time and
sharing his talent with us
through this class.
Students will not only
learn about cuisine this
month at the Dietrich, but
they can also experience the
joy of making music. Next
week those talented and zany
guys from Sadie Green Sales
Jugband will be back at the
theater to teach a weeklong
class called Jammin in a
Jugband. David Driskell and
Timothy Walker, Pennsylva-
nia Council on the Arts ros-
tered artists, will teach chil-
dren between the ages of six
and 12 how to make music
with homemade instruments
such as the washboard, wash-
tub bass, spoons, whistles,
saws and jug. The class will

T
en thousand six
hundred years ago,
the city of Scranton
was buried under a mile
of ice, said Gene Moyer,
wood carver, science buff
and author of four books.
Currently exhibited at
The Anthracite Heritage
Museum at McDade Park,
Scranton, through August
19, are 50 pieces of
Moyers sculptures that
reflect and embrace his
fascination with biolog-
ical history and his talent
as a wood carver.
Ice Age Mammals is
the title of the exhibit,
although his collection of
works also includes the
evolution of mammals
that lead to the Ice Age,
showing the progression
of the mammals and
their life forms - that
have evolved or devel-
oped in response to their
changing environments.
There is not one Ice
Age, said the Clarks
Summit resident, who has
devoted countless hours
following his retirement
more than a decade ago,
to researching the Earths
geological periods and
whittling away at chunks
of exotic hardwood.
There were countless
numbers of Ice Ages in
the history of the earth.
Rest comfortably know-
ing that, according to
Moyer, We probably will
not see another one (Ice
Age) for 12,000 years.
The last Ice Age ended
10,600 years ago.
He said of his exhibit,
I always combine art
with science The thing
that makes me tick is that
I like art with science. By
looking at this exhibit,
you would learn that
there really is an Abo-
minable Snowman in the
form of a giant ape. You
would learn about how
the Mastodons
evolved
The exhibit, which fol-
lows a chronological or-
der and is arranged on
tables throughout the mu-
seum with accompanying
descriptions of the peri-
ods, covers 65 million
years of geological evolu-
tion, beginning with the
Megazostrodon of the
Early Jurassic period, and
culminating with carvings
of one of the great won-
ders of the natural world,
Niagara Falls, Western
New York State.
His sculptures are
etched out of black wal-
nut with literally thou-
sands of small indenta-
tions that affect the re-
flected and absorbed
properties of light in each
piece.
Moyer referred to his
textured style of sculpting
as a kind of pointillism
in wood. He added, All
of these pieces are carved
from black walnut. It
(black walnut) is my fa-
vorite, because its the
most beautiful wood.
The sculptor began
carving wood out of bore-
dom. I was on vacation
one day, and I had a piece
of wood in the garage. I
took it (the wood) outside
and as I was sitting on
the steps, I started scrap-
ing it against the edge of
the steps. I had no tools.
I did this beautiful little
sailboat and at the end of
the day I showed my
father, and he said,

lenpaupack Watershed
Management District July
5.
Mark Crouthamel, owner
of Sculpted Ice Works, said,
We are proud to support
community organizations.
The Lake Wallenpaupack
Watershed Management
District works hard to keep
Lake Wallenpaupack clean
for everyone.
The LWWMDis a multi-
governmental, nonprofit
corporation that manages
the Lake Wallenpaupack
watershed and addresses
water quality problems.
Each year, Sculpted Ice
Works manufactures more
than12,000 crystal clear ice
carving blocks in their plant
and transforms theminto
ice sculptures of all sizes.
Crouthamel, master carver
and founder of Sculpted Ice
Works in1999, has spent
several years developing a
factory tour of the ice plant
and a museumto capture
the history of naturally
harvested ice, with a focus
on the Pocono region. Years
ago, harvesting lake ice in
the region was both a large
commercial industry as well
as done locally for farms
and families. The museum
will showcase local ice
harvesting tools, uses of ice
before refrigeration and
howice was delivered. En-
ter into the modern ice
plant, and watch howclear
ice is manufactured today.
Take a glimpse through the
windows into the freezer
and learn howice sculptures
are made in the Sculpted Ice
Works Factory Tour.
Open daily, summer
hours are Monday- Saturday
from10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and

Ice, then and now
that? I said, I was scrap-
ing against the steps. He
said, You did what you
spent the whole day scrap-
ing the steps? Did you
damage the steps? But,
when it was finished, I
had this beautiful little
sailboat and it looked al-
most real, and I had done
it without any tools, said
Moyer.
I started doing Christ-
mas decorations for our
family Christmas tree-
carving harder wood
with a knife, I was able to
put in more details. And
from there, I said, Wait a
minute If I can do
Christmas decorations, I
can probably do real art-
work, real sculpture, and
that was the case. So I had
a hidden talent for sculp-

in collage art.
LaRussa said, I search
for an intensity of emotion
and depth through an explo-
ration of texture, unfolding
the many layers. I observe
the internal complexities
and intricacies within us, in
various surroundings and
cultures. My mind delves
into the beauty within dark-
nessthe mystery, the
chaos, dissection of frag-
ments, the raw edges we are
afraid to show.
West creates fanciful
sculptures from objects
found in everyday life, turn-
ing them every which
wayupside down, inside

brantly- colored canvases
show worlds as alien as
they are familiar.
He studied in Rome in

Sponsored by:
regularly to provide the commu-
nity with a sustainable and free
means to share edible goods.
In all of these big metropoli-
tan cities, people are coming
together and sharing, and build-
ing a sense of community. It
(food swapping) is sustainable,
free to participate and is a great
evening of swapping and shar-
ing. I dont want to travel to the
bigger cities to swap; I want to
bring food swapping to North-
eastern Pennsylvania. Its some-
thing I think the area needs and
will embrace, said Fleming,
who invited McClellan, author
of Food in Jars: Preserving in
Small Batches Year Round, and
one of the co-founders of the
Philadelphia swap group, to
visit Scranton to participate in
the event.
McClellan, a food blogger,
cookbook author and canning
teacher, is currently freelance
for Grid Philly, Serious Eats the
Food Network Blog, USATo-
day and Mrs. Wages, and shares
a passion for canning, preserv-
ing and food swapping.
The food swap movement is
a really great part of this sort of
canning and preserving explo-
sion, said McClellan, who
grewup in Southern California
and Oregon. We always had
fruit trees or berry bushes at the
homes I grewup in. When I was
26 or 27, I went blueberry pick-
ing one day with a friend and
came home with13 pounds of
blueberries and thought, Well,
what do I do with them?I
guess I need to make some
jam I called my momsix
times and went to the hardware
store to buy canning jars and
made my first batch of jam.
There was just something about
it that felt right to me. Canning
really felt like a good niche for
me. My momalways did some
canningwe made jams a
couple time a year, enough to
give to family and friends for the
holidays and have some to eat.
The author, who always want-
ed to write a cookbook, said,
Its something Ive wanted to
do for a very long time.
Her book offers an introduc-
tion to canning. All of the
batches are really small and the
yield is between three and four
pints. We dont need to can to
get through the winter anymore.
Its more about making little
things you really like or using up
produce fromyour back
yardthats what this book is
designed for
She added, I think my book
is a really great partner to food
swaps because there are a lot of
recipes that have a nice yield in
terms of things you can bring to
a food swap if you can themin
half pint or quarter pint jars. You
have some to keep; you have
some to give away.
For anyone who would like to
get started canning, McClellans
book is available online and at
Barnes &Noble and other inde-
pendent bookstores. Recipes
can be found at her website,
foodinjars.com.
In attendance at the event
were Fleming, McClellan, Don-
na Czarkowski, Lisa Burke,
Donna Gard-Lengner, Elaine
Waskovich, Westyn Hinchey,
Mark Bonfiglio, Barbara Torda,
Marie King and Joe Peters,
Scranton Cultural Center at the
Masonic Temple executive
director.
Czarkowski, owner of Cloe &
Company, located at 410 South
State St., Clarks Summit, one of
the participants, swapped sam-
ples of her Wedding Time Tea
for items such as simple syrup,
hummus and an Italian salad
and later said, Coming upon
the event, I wasnt expecting the
opportunity I had there. It was a
wonderful opportunity to meet
all of those people. The fellow-
ship is what is most important.
Howoften do you get to net-
work and have fellowship?
Peters said the Scranton Cul-
tural Center was thrilled to in-
troduce the venue to a unique
audience.
Hosting this food swapping
event at the Scranton Cultural
Center at The Masonic Temple
will bring awareness and access
to a world of people that may
not have known it existed other-
wise.
He shared what he described
as they benefits of food swap-
ping. Food swapping is fun, but
also economical. The econom-
ics are enhanced further when
swappers preserve their summer
vegetables and produce, and
then bring those out-of-season
goods to the winter swap. Food
swapping is so in-sync with
other concepts important to me
like sustainability, farm-to-table,
farmers markets, organics and
growing local, said Peters.
Fleming noted the next food
swap is planned for fall and she
has set up a Facebook page,
facebook.com/#!/NEPAswap-
pers, for anyone who would like
to get on board with the food
swapping network. Items
swapped are limited to hand-
made or hand grown. For the
fall swap, she said she expects to
see apples, pumpkin breads,
spiced muffins, soups, recipes
with the fall squashes and sum-
mer harvest produce that was
canned or preserved.
SWAPPING

On July 11, cookbook author and

posed to smoking, she understands the ease
in which the habit is picked up and the
difficulty smokers face in trying to quit.
No one deserves to die
Sheila McDonough, of Olyphant, is
another strong advocate for the position
that no one deserves to die, which is also
the theme of a campaign run by the Lung
Cancer Alliance.
My grandmother died fromlung can-
cer, McDonough said via e-mail. Did she
smoke? Yes. My sister has lung cancer.
Does she smoke? No, never did. Does that
mean that my grandmother deserved to
die? No.
She said when her grandmother was
diagnosed, the family grieved, but was not
shocked. But when her sister, who had
never smoked and was still young, was
diagnosed it was different. It shook our
family to the core, she said.
This was when her son, Timmy Walsh,
then age six (now10), started the non-profit
fundraiser Camera For a Cure to raise mon-
ey for the Lung Cancer Alliance.
McDonough said she remembers sitting
one evening in the hospital waiting room
wondering if her sister was dying, not sure
howto answer her nieces many questions.
She said she couldnt imagine being in that
situation at such a young age, as it was
difficult enough as an adult.
But that is also a reason she said the new
Pa. chapter is so important. The Lung
Cancer Alliance is so much about helping
people cope, she said.
She pointed out when her sister was
diagnosed, it was an incidental finding,
meaning it was not what the doctors were
investigating. We need more awareness
and early detection. If we knewthat we are
higher at risk for lung cancer, maybe we
would have been more careful. Maybe we
would have been going to the doctor more
with our symptoms [both sisters have a
history of frequent bronchitis]. Maybe my
sister would have been diagnosed earlier,
instead of stage 3A. Maybe.
The needto do something positive
Another person whose life was shaken by
lung cancer is Rita Fenton, of Clarks Sum-
mit. She said her husband died of the dis-
ease three years ago, and just 11months
before that, she lost another dear friend to
the same.
Its tough to see a loved one go through
treatment, she said, adding that when it
was over, she found herself needing to do
something positive.
Fenton first heard about the Lung Cancer
Alliance through its annual candlelight
vigil, Shine the Light. The next year, she
said she decided to participate, and since
then, has been involved in various fundrais-
ers and events.
Of the newPa. chapter, she said, Its
important to bring it closer to our peo-
plespread the word as far as we can. I
think its kind of neat to have it right here.
She also expressed a desire to help others
going through the same thing she did, and
her advice to themis to do research, find a
positive outlet and knowthey are not alone.
Arscott said anyone interested in getting
involved in the newPa. Chapter of the Lung
Cancer Alliance is invited to its next meet-
ing, Aug. 8 at 6 p.m. at Anna Marias Res-
taurant, Dunmore. Questions can also be
directed to her at arscott@marywood.edu.
There are currently eight chapters nation-
ally, according to Kay Confrancesco, Direc-
tor of Advocacy Relations at Lung Cancer
Alliance, Washington D.C. The organiza-
tion began in1995 in Washington state and
moved to Washington D.C. in 2005. She
said most of its funding comes frompri-
vate, family, corporate and individual dona-
tions.
Confrancesco said the newchapter is
especially important because its based in
an area (NEPA) where a comprehensive
plan is needed. She expressed gratitude
toward the Arscotts for their direction,
saying they are the true faces of the dis-
ease, fromboth a personal and medical
standpoint.
Arscott said she has many hopes and
dreams for the future of the newchapter,
the biggest being to have a local lung can-
cer prevention, screening and treatment
center.
We need to help people, and we need to
help families as well, she said, adding that
because the disease doesnt leave many
survivors, there arent enough to raise a
voice alone.

been afforded the protections tied
to the early reform mandates, there
is a reality that sits behind the
individual mandate: if youre cov-
ered today, you do not have any-
thing to worry about.
If youre already enrolled in (or
enroll in) one of the plans offered
by your company, the penalty or
tax does not apply to you, Wylam
said. If you dont like that cov-
erage, how much it costs or
both, you likely will have more
options available to you that you
do not have today.
Wylam noted that the situation is
only going to get more complex
rather than easier.
She added that two realities will
come out of expanding choice for
health care consumers. The first is
that individuals will need help in
making their choices. Employers
will need to figure out if and how
they will go about providing this
help. Employers also have the abil-
been there, but employers havent
packaged the value that way be-
fore. Its daunting for employees to
look through multiple plans.
The biggest challenge for every-
one, according to Wylam, is know-
ing that new trails are being blazed
and the details on how to do so are
sketchy. The survey also revealed
that 62 percent of employers in-
dicated they are still trying to
wrap their heads around it.
ity to treat securing coverage more
like a retail experience. From the
employer, employees can get
health and other types of coverage,
including retirement benefits.
If the consumer has the option
to buy why not buy from the
employer? Wylam said. The
employer can offer convenience,
and its one -stop shopping for all
your health and welfare needs.
That message has really always

Throughout the summer, the mar-
ket hosts charitable events through a
partnership with the Abington Busi-
ness & Professional Association.
For example, last year the Voluntary
Action Center of NEPA partnered
with the market and the Abington
Community Library to collect books
for underprivileged children.
The Abington community was
extremely generous, she said. The
book drive yielded more than 100
donated books. This year the market
may host the book drive again, she
said.
SOUTH ABINGTON TWP.
The Abington Farmers Market pro-
vided locally-sourced food before it
was trendy, and this year is no ex-
ception.
The annual co-op, around for
nearly 20 years, will set up shop at
South Abington Community Park,
selling commodities ranging from
fresh produce to baked goods.
We really have all the bases cov-
ered, said Michelle LaCoe, spo-
kesperson for the market. Theres a
lot of variety. People can do a one-
stop shop.
Among the items available are
jams, flowers, sauces, eggs, baked
goods, honey, vegetables, maple
syrup, fruits, herbs and spices.
Each vendor focuses on a few
goods so that theres great variety
and quality, LaCoe said. One farmer
may have garlic but no dill while
another may have no garlic but an
abundance of dill. Each vendors
offerings seem to complement the
others, and thats where the variety
comes from, she said.
Abington area residents are al-
ready eager for the market to open,
according to LaCoe. She said she
recognizes the communitys support
for the market and speaks for all of
the vendors in expressing gratitude.
The Abington community has
been extremely supportive of the
farmers market. Were extremely
grateful.
The market is set to open July 21
at South Abington Community Park
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be
open each Saturday through the end
of October.

While many other little
league programs in Northeast
Pa. struggle with participation,
the Abington Little League has
remained strong. According to
the league, one of the reasons
is the continued commitment
to improving the facilities for
the players, parents and specta-
tors. Previously, the league had
provided opportunities for
children to play at all levels
fromT-Ball all the way
through Senior League. This
year, the league expanded
further when it added a Big
League team. The Big
League division of little
league is for boys16-18 years
old who want to continue to
play baseball. The first -year
Big League teamhad tremen-
dous success as it traveled
throughout Northeast Pa.
facing teams fromLackawan-
na and Wayne Counties.
The core of this teamis a
group of seniors fromAbing-
ton Heights High School who
wanted to finish their baseball
season on a positive note. The
roster also included several
athletes fromthe Abingtons
who either played for other
high schools or had played on
other sports teams in high
school. There are also several
players fromthe Christy Math-
ewson league who joined the
team, as they had no program
available to them.
Throughout the regular
season and the playoffs every-
one contributed to this team
effort as the squad finished an
undefeated regular season.

Abington Sportsmens Club,
wonthe District title bysweep-
ing the West Scranton teamin
two straight games.
Abington opened the best of
three championship series with
a 6-0 victory over West Scran-
ton. Abington jumped out to a
quick lead in the first inning on
a two run single by Josh Slo-
cum. Inthe fifthinning, ag-
gressive base-running by John
Vassil helped set the table for
four more runs; with the key
hit coming fromKyle Yahn.
Bill McDermott, Josh Slocum,
and Robbie Ayre all had two
hits for Abington. Jason Sub-
asic got the game win for
Abington, striking out seven
and allowing only three hits.
In game two, Robbie Ayre
pitched six innings while only
allowing two runs on five hits.
As they did in game one, the
Abington bats came alive early
and allowed themto score
three runs in the first inning
highlighted by Mason Meckes
two run double. Abington
added single runs in the fourth
and sixth innings on a triple by
Neil Hawk and a double by
Jason Subasic.
Abington finished third in
the State Big League Tourna-
ment held at Mansfield Uni-
versity. They defeated a Dis-
trict 12 team, 6-1, in the first
game. In their second game,
they defeated the teamfrom
District 27, 7-6. They suffered
their first loss to a Philadelphia
teamfromDistrict 28 in the
winners bracket final, 15-5.
