The Borough of Clarks
Summits Earth Day Celebra-

tion will be held downtown
April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
rain or shine.
The goal is to bring aware-
ness to the community and
surrounding communities
about how valuable the Earth
is and the need to protect it,
Clarks Summit Recycling and
Earth Day Chair Patty Lawler
said.
Lawler was pleased with
the results of the inaugural
celebration last year.
For the frst time out, it
was very successful with big
crowds, she said. This past
year, people have been asking
if we going to do Earth Day
again. Its been great. We want
to capitalize on that and make
it even better this year.

Students from Clarks Summit
Elementary are stepping up to
the plate again to take the Earth
Day Challenge, now underway.
Students are collecting phone
books for recycling. The class that
collects the most will become
The Recycling Champs of 2013.
Last year, David Temprines third
grade class won the competition.
Students have until April 18 for
collection from the public. April
19, phone books will be tallied
and the Recycling Champs of
2013 announced. Each member
of the winning class will receive
a T-shirt and be invited to be a
junior marshal in the Boroughs
Memorial Day Celebration.
Last year, more than 1,500 phone
books were recycled thanks to
the students at C.S. Elemen-
tary. Principal Kevin Rogan and
Councilwoman Patty Lawler are
coordinating the event.

U.S. President Theodore
Roosevelt called him one of
the fve bravest men to fght in
World War I. France conferred
its highest military honor, the
Croix de Guerre, upon him. He
returned to a heros welcome at
home, including a ticker-tape
parade in NewYork City. A
World War I battle is named
after him. He was nicknamed
Black Death. The military
used his image on recruitment
posters after the war. He was
buried in Arlington National
Cemetery with full military
honors.
But for generations follow-
ing World War I, the memory
of Henry Lincoln Johnson,
Sergeant U.S. Army faded into
obscurity.
Henry Johnsons rela-
tives and admirers, including
grandson Herman R. Johnson,
a Clarks Summit Borough
Council member, hope that
telling his story will once
and for all secure his place in
American history as a valiant
warrior, decorated with the
military honor he deserves
the Congressional Medal of
Honor. Politicians, includ-
ing NewYork Sen. Charles
Schumer, have touted Johnson
as an unsung hero. The History
Channel recently aired a docu-
mentary on his life. Albany,
his hometown, has honored
Johnson by
naming local
landmarks,
including a
postal annex
and a street,
after him.
Herman
R. Johnson,
a veteran of
the Vietnam
War, lives and
works in Clarks Summit, never
met his grandfather, Henry
Lincoln Johnson. But Herman
R. continues the lifelong quest
of his uncle, Herman A. John-
son to see his father, Henry,
honored posthumously with
the Medal of Honor.
Herman A. Johnson was a
member of the Tuskegee Air-
men, the frst black pilots in
the military, who few in World
War II. When he died in 2004,

Jennifer Jenkins, executive

Jenkins said moviegoers of-
ten leave with many thought-

We love the flm festivals
at the Dietrich for the way
they bring all kinds of diverse
people together, she said.
Especially during our Open-

Ever wonder how Clarks Green looked in
the 1940s and 1950s?
Where three byways intersected, small town
America was in its heyday.
Clarks Green corners was just that, said
Clarks Summit resident and history buff, War-
ren Watkins, 80.
He recalled Kermit Greene, chief of the
Clarks Green Police Department. In the late
1940s and 1950s, Chief Greene was the only
policeman in the department.
Kermit was responsible for the Clarks
Green corners, which consists of North Abing-
ton Road, Glenburn Road and East Grove
Street. His patrol car was his own. He is buried
in the Clarks Green Cemetery.
Watkins took a walk down memory lane to
paint a mental picture of the scene.
It was really their downtown area. It
consisted of OMalleys Gulf (Gas) Station,
Browns Pharmacy, a dentist, a hairdressers
and barber shop. At one time, there was a gift
shop, along with another small business, and at
one time there was a Turkey Hill Store there.
The Borough Building, a small grocery
store and also a barber shop were also part of
the landscape. Farther down on East Grove
Street was the Clarks Green Garage, (repaired
and sold cars) and that was about it, said
Watkins. Later on, there was
a funeral home next to the
borough building, and farther up next to
Baumgartners (store), was the Baptist
Church. The Insalacos Supermarket was
built where the medical building is now.
That pretty much made up the corners.
Watkins lives in Clarks Summit
Borough, but not much farther than a
stones throw away from Clarks Green
Borough. He spent his youth roller skating,
riding his bicycle, fshing. That is, he said,
besides church (Clarks Green United Meth-
odist Church) and attending school.
We found a lot of things to do on our own
to keep busy. He and his pals fshed and ice
skated on a pond on Venard Road and, if we
didnt fsh there, wed get on our bikes and go
to Glenburn Pond.
For anyone who did not wear a watch, a
siren sounded at 7 a.m., noon and again at 6
p.m.
To earn money, at one point when he was
12 or 13, Watkins ran a lawn business that
included approximately 14 customers. But he
did not have a car to transport the circa- 1930s
push mower he inherited from his grandfather,
so he tied the lawn mower to the back of his
bike and pulled the mower to his customers.
Anewly formed Centennial Committee will
plan ahead for the celebration of Clarks Green
boroughs 100th anniversary May 14, 2014.
One group aims to fund a town clock for the
occasion. For details, contact Gail E. Rees,
Chair, at 570.587.0505.
HISTORY
comes to life
CLARKS SUMMIT- Clarks
Summit borough council voted
to appoint an interim emer-
gency management director
to replace Council member
Herman Johnson, who retired
April 1.
George Yarns, deputy
EMAdirector, has assumed
the director role as of April 1
until a new EMAdirector is
appointed. Council voted to
appoint Yarns to the position
at its March 25 work session.
The vote was unanimous with
Johnson abstaining.
Yarns probably would not be
able to serve as a permanent
director, however, because he
works for the county.
He is already involved
with Lackawanna County as
a Deputy EMACoordinator,
Council member David Jenkins
said of Yarns. If something
should arise, he is obligated to
go with the county.
The council will initiate a
search for candidates to fll
the job, which requires a great
deal of training, according to
Johnson.
If we were to have a storm
tomorrow, and the mayor de-
clared an emergency, and you
had to get the EMAand the
borough manager to put togeth-
er paperwork to receive monies
from the federal government,
that individual has to know
what he is doing, Johnson
said. Johnson didnt have any
suggestions for his successor,
but approved of Yarns for the
interim role.
In other business, members
of the boroughs Shade Tree
Commission updated council
on the status of their project to
plant trees across the borough,
including in front of many
businesses and the upcoming
CVS project on the corners of
State Street and Winola Road.
The commission hopes to
persuade the Abington Heights
School District to plant more
trees on its property.
We want to forest some of it
(Abington Heights) so that they
dont have to cut the grass,
said Donna Zagrapan, presi-
dent of the commission.
Zagrapan touted the benefts
of planting trees, including a
reduction in soil erosion, less
grass to cut, shade, aesthetics
and others.
Scranton Prep students Gabby Durr
and Kris Muzzi put their spin on classic
play. Page 10A.

Abington Dog Park hosts
event for Paws and Stripes
According to Jennifer Rojek,
the cost to put one veteran
and dog through the Paws and
Stripes program is $2,500.
Paws and Stripes provides
service dogs for military veter-
ans with post-traumatic stress
disorder and traumatic brain
injury. On April 7, noon to 3
p.m., The Abington Dog Park
and a volunteer group from
Marywood University will
sponsor a fundraiser, Opera-
tion: Tails for Troops to raise
money for the organization,
which trains canines rescued
from shelters. Professional
service dog trainers teach the
dogs and veterans as a team, as
noted on pawsandstripes.org.
Rojek said their goal is to
raise $2,500, and if they exceed
their goal, they plan to make a
donation to the Abington Dog
Park, S. Abington Township,
and a local Veterans hospital.
The fundraiser idea started
back in the fall when I came
across articles about how
successful service dogs can
be for mental health issues,
said Rojek, a graduate student
in the counseling department
at Marywood University and
student service coordinator
for her chapter of the national
counseling honors society, Chi
Sigma Iota.
I was looking for a project
for our group for the spring
semester, as we are service-
based. When I came across
the Paws and Stripes website,
I knew instantly that it would
be a great opportunity for us to
make this our next goal.
Rojek got the ball rolling
with the help of Nina Pero,
chapter student president;
Marywood University student
veteran alliance, and campus
ministry. We heard about
how nice the Abington Dog
Park is, and it came up at one
of our meetings that maybe
they would let us hold the
event there. I contacted the
dog park representative Marie
King, (dog park organizer) and
she was thrilled about it and
hence the partnership began.

Dalton Community Library Program Coodinator
What you need to get started:
2 pieces of cardboard (the front and
back of an empty cereal box works
great)
lined paper
a pencil
markers or crayons
yarn or ribbon
glue or tape
scissors
choose a cover: wrapping paper, The
Sunday Comics or plain white to deco-
rate
hole punch
Instructions:
Start by making two pieces of cardboard
the same size. One is used for the front
cover, the other the back cover. Use glue or
tape to cover each cardboard piece sepa-
rately with your choice of wrapping paper,
comics or plain paper. After, take some lined
paper and cut it the same size as the covers.
Use as many sheets as you like. Then, place
all papers and covers in this order: bottom
cover facing down, next all the lined paper
and on top, put your front cover facing you.
Next, line up the left sides of all papers and
covers. On the left, use your pencil to mark
three places where you will make holes- one
hole toward the top, one in the middle and
one toward the bottom. Keep the papers and
covers lined up on the left, and make the
holes with a hole punch. If you need help,
ask a grown up. The last step is to take yarn
or ribbon and cut three pieces about 7 inches
long. Put one strand through each hole and
make a loose bow. Keeping it loose will
provide enough room for the pages to turn.
You can decorate your front cover with any
fnal touches you may like. Enjoy and have
fun using your journal!

Celebrating
American Girls
By eliZaBetH BaUmeiSter
lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
When Rachel Ezrin was younger, she
loved playing with her American Girl dolls
Molly and Kaya and reading all of the
American Girl books.
I was your typical American Girl doll
fan, she said.
She is now a senior at Abington Heights
High School and although she no longer
plays with dolls, she still shares a love
of American Girl with kids who are fans
today. That is one reason why she, along
with Emma Musto and the Teen Leader-
ship Committee at the Abington Commu-
nity Library, are organizing an American
Girl Celebration for all fans of American
Girl.
The celebration will be held at the
Abington Community Library April 28
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. There is no cost to
attend, and all girls are invited, whether
they own an American Girl doll or not.
Araffe in which one person will win
Saige, the newest American Girl doll,
is underway at the librarys circulation
desk to raise money for the Teen Leader-
ship Committee.
Girls who attend the celebration will
learn about different times in history
through activities, refreshments crafts and
more.
For example, Ezrin said one American
Girl character, Rebecca, is Jewish and
grew up in 1914, so there will be a Jewish
snack to taste and a Jewish song to learn
during the event.
Ezrin said her favorite time period
in American History is the early 1700s
because she loves learning about Native
American culture and history.
She said the best thing about American
Girl is they teach history in a way that is
exciting and relatable to the young girls
who read these books.

MY OPINION
Get to know your grandparents
By Joan Mead-Matsui
Do you love to listen to stories told by the older
folks in your life?
Perhaps while you were riding along in the back-
seat of your grandparents car, you may have heard
your mom and dad, grandma or grandpa ramble on
a bit about how different life was when they were
kids.
They might have said, When I was a kid, we
didnt have computers, so we played outside most
of the time. Or, Not everyone had a car, so we
walked into town if we needed groceries.
If you have spent any time wondering about life
back in the days when your mom, dad, grandpar-
ents, aunts or uncles were growing up, now is the
time to ask questions.
Catch the stories before they are gone, is advice
Dennis Martin, local historian offers to kids who
enjoy listening to family stories and are curious
about life.
Martin resides in Clarks Summit and was the
vice-chairperson of the Clarks Summit Centen-
nial Committee in 2012, and has also spent count-
less hours interviewing local residents about their
memories of life in the Abingtons. He has collected
information through research at the Lackawanna
Historical Society, Scranton and through oral inter-
views.
Alot of kids want to know about what their
grandparents were like when they were kids. They
love storiesAnd then you start to think, Gee,
things havent always been exactly as they are now,
and maybe they wont always be the same way.
During an oral interview with a woman from
Dalton, who grew up in a home without internal
plumbing, Martin recalls hearing, I was talking to
a woman from Dalton and she described how there
were three girls in the family and there were three
major chores. She talked about how they divvied
them up and rotated the chores. One of the chores
was to empty the chamber pots (bed pans). She said
that was not one of their favorite ones. Another
bit of information he uncovered through research is
people would think nothing about walking two to
three miles with their friends to go to a candy shop.
This was a walking community and they walked
everywhere. You can learn a lot (about life), if you
listen,
When you have a chance to sit down and inter-
view someone in your family, remember to ask a lot
of questions and be a good listener. Martin offers
examples of questions you can ask.
When you were my age, what was it like? Where
did you go to school? What was school like? What
did you do after school? Did you and your friends
get together after school? What did you do during
the summer? What was life like for a kid in those
days? Did you have part time work? Did you have
chores?
As an interviewer, I try to keep away from the
person as much as possible. Let them tell the story,
he said.
Once you have completed your interview, share
stories with your friends and consider recording the
information in a journal as a keepsake for future
generations.

Local high school
students are taking
time to learn about
the Holocaust on
a personal and
interactive level.
The Holocaust
Education Resource
Center of the Jew-
ish Federation of
NEPAis present-
ing its 25th year
of the annual Teen
Symposium on
the Holocaust at
Marywood Univer-
sity. This particular
event has been
allowing students to
not only learn about
the Holocaust and build upon the in-
formation they are learing about the
subject in school, but also listen to
Holocaust survivors talk about their
experience during that time.
Hosted at Marywood University,
the full- day event is also broken
into small groups to allow students
to get an interactive experience with
the surviors where they can hear sto-
ries and ask questions. Director fo
the Holocaust Education Resource
Center Tova Weiss commented on
the impact of this event, They hear
the voices of children who went
through different experiences who
were close to their age.
Weiss explained why this event is
geared toward the younger genera-
tion, Theyre the ones that will be
leaders of the future, and theyre the
ones that can carry knowledge into
the future.
She added, One of the things that
they can take from this is the under-
lying messages like taking responsi-
bility for ones actions.
This years teen symposium
will take place May 21 and 22 at
Marywood University in Scranton.
More information about the Jewish
Federation of NEPAcan be found at
jewishnepa.org.
Information focuses on children in
the Holocaust
Expands upon and supplements
teachings about the Holocaust in
classroom between 8th and 12th
grade
Students able to get frsthand
knowledge from multiple Holo-
caust survivors
Interactive small-group sessions
with survivors
Gain an appreciation toward bias
and predjudice on a personal and
community level
Allie Gee, 20, of Clarks Summit, at-
tended and assisted with the sym-
posium when she was a junior at
Abington Heights High School. Gee
commented on one of the reasons she
got involved in the event, I really am
intrigued by the subject itself. She
said as an attendee, I did learn a lot
from the survivors, listening to their
stories and actually being able to talk
to them.
After attending the symposium as a
junior, Gee continued to explore the
subject of children involved in the
Holocaust. She ended up writing a
book as her high school senior project
titled The Quiet Game. The fctional
book followed a story through the eyes
of a little girl who was hidden in the
basement by her mother during the
Holocaust. The book went on to be
published and made its way into the
U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C. where all proceeds
from her book go back to the museum.
Currently a college student in Philadel-
phia, Gee has continued to learn about
the subject in some classes she has
taken at Temple University.
Carrying knowledge
to the future
Abington Heights graduate Allie Gee wrote a book as her senior project which
was published and is featured at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

MY HISTORY
Hi Im Mariah Mancuso. I
always wondered what school
was like a long time ago. I sat
down with my grandfather Samuel
Mancuso. Hes had a very exciting
life so I asked him questions about
when he was in elementary school.
He went to Benjamin Franklin
School in Carbondale. Here is my
interview with my grandfather:
Mariah: What were schools like when
you were my age?
Sam: It was challenging and fun
Mariah: Describe your classroom to
me.
Sam: The desks were single. There
were two classes in one room. There were
15-20 students in each class.
Mariah: What did they serve for lunch?
Sam: We didnt have a cafeteria, we
had to go home for lunch.
Mariah: What was your transportation
to school?
Sam: I walked to school. It was 1 mile.
Mariah: How long were you in school?
Sam: The same as today, 6 hours
Mariah: Have subjects changed from
what you know?
Sam: Yes, a lot. We had math, English,
history, physics, geography and typing
Mariah: Did you play any sports in
school?
Sam: Yes, I was captain of the football
team.
Mariah: Has schools changed over the
years?
Sam: Yes you get a better education.
They have upgraded.

ther Sam

about areas rst settler Deacon William
Clark, see next weeks print edition of the
Abington Journal.
The 1990s was a decade of
experimentation of society and
culture. From cartoons to fashion
to music, some of the most iconic
styles and songs came from the
last decade of the millennium.
While I was born at the end
of the decade, its culture heavily
infuences my life, as it does most
teenagers. There is so much to take
in from the 90s, from tamagotchi
to scrunchies to easy bake ovens,
but these are my top three personal
favorites: Doc Martens: Effort-
lessly cool, Doc Martens became
the it shoe of the 90s. Grunge
was a key trend in fashion. Plaid
shirts and Docs made the tough
-girl look.
Rugrats: cartoons were huge
then, mainly because the cartoons
of that decade are debatably the
best. Ren and Stimpy Hey, Ar-
nold, and Dexters Laboratory
are examples of simple, yet clever
shows that make you want to pull
out the VCR.
Any song on the Top 100s
chart of the decade: Creep by
Radiohead, Wannabe by Spice
Girls, Tearin Up My Heart by
NSYNC, and Wonderwall by
Oasis are a few noteworthy tracks.
Personally, I think the 90s are
underappreciated.
People dont realize how much
culture, technology and societal
development came from those ten
years. The Internet progressively
developed and new ideas came
into societyideas that pushed the
boundaries of normal and gave
people an opportunity to use their
voice.
If you take nothing away from
the 90s, just remember, at one
point or another you were dancing
to Marky Mark and The Funky
Bunchs Good Vibrations.

CAN YOUR SETTLEMENT BE TAXED?
When you have settled your personal injury case out of court and receive money for
enduring pain and suffering, the amount is not taxable because it is not income. However,
reimbursement for out-of-pocket lost income may be liable for income taxes. Moreover, if
you received money that reimbursed you for out-of-pocket medical costs for which you took
a deduction on you income taxes, you may also owe taxes on those amounts. If there is not
clear differentiation between the reimbursments for medical bills, general damages, and lost
income in a lump sum award, the tax question may be open to interpretation. If your settle-
ment is made confdential by a provision in the agreement, you may face tax consequences.
Before you need to worry about paying taxes on your settlement, you need to win it.
Thats why you need to call Amil M. Minora. I have years of experience with all aspects
of personal injury law, including car and truck accidents and slip-and-fall cases, and I
will work hard to get you the money that you deserve. Ill even discuss the tax implica-
tions with you. And remember, Im happy to take these cases on a contingency basis,
which means you dont pay until you win. Please call (570) 961-1616 to schedule a free
initial appointment to discuss the merits of your case. My address is 700 Vine St.,
Scranton. Im here to help.
www.minorakrowiak.com
HINT: If you took no medical deduction on your income taxes, no taxes are owed on
the medical reimbursement portion of the settlement.

Arts are alive in the Abingtons
By AdriAne Heine
Anumber of Abington
Heights students were honored
March 23 at the annual Re-
gional PTARefections Awards
Ceremony at the Mid Valley
Secondary Center in Throop.
The National PTARefec-
tions program was developed
in 1969 to encourage students
to explore their talents and ex-
press themselves. The program
inspires students to refect on a
specifc theme and create origi-
nal artwork. This years theme:
The Magic of the Moment.
Each year, students in
kindergarten through Grade
12 are recognized for bringing
the theme to life through dance
choreography, flm production,
literature, music composition,
photography and visual arts.
Region 16 is comprised of 48
local PTAs from Lackawanna,
Wayne and Susquehanna coun-
ties. Winners at this level were
frst selected as winners from
the pool of submissions from
their school, then their district
and fnally, in the region. Fol-
lowing the regional decisions,
those who placed frst, second
and third moved on to compete
against other regional winners
in the state.
Roy Slavin, a fourth- grade
student at South Abington
Elementary, was the only area
student who won at the na-
tional level this year. He came
in third in the country for his
original musical composition.
He has been taking piano les-
son with Brenda Lord of South
Abington Township since
kindergarten.
I was so surprised and hap-
py when I found out I won,
Roy said at the post-award
ceremony reception. I didnt
know if Id even place. He ex-
plained that his piece has been
utilized beyond the Refections
contest. Im on an Odyssey
of the Mind team and we used
the piece in our presentation.
Some of my friends put lyrics
to my melody and they sing
along. We are going to states in
Odyssey. He plans to continue
studying and creating music.
During the ceremony,
students were encouraged to
submit works to a local gal-
lery and to consider attending
Arts Alive summer camp.
Run by the NEIU, the camp is
an intense four-week course
where artists in the visual and
performing arts are taught by
professionals in the felds.
The award-winning course is
available to 3rd through 12th
graders at Marywood Univer-
sity and the Everhart Museum,
Scranton.
The theme for next years
201314 Refections Program
is Believe, Dream, Inspire.
Submissions will be accepted
in the fall.

the borough plans to incorpo-
rate children into the festivi-
ties.
This year, through a spon-
sorship from JP Mascaro and
a $500 municipal grant from
the Lackawanna Country Arts
and Cultural, they are sponsor-
ing The Children Recycled
Art Make and Take Center,
Lawler said. Its going to be
a big tent just for children.
They can do trash to treasures,
recycled art projects. It will
also include face painting and
a clown.
We need to get the children
involved because its their
world, too.
According to Lawler, the
switch the single stream recy-
cling in the borough has paid
immediate dividends.
Its been fabulous, she
said. Weve increased the
tonnage of our recyclables
by 300 ton because it was
so much easier for people to
understand. They know to put
their recyclables out every
week. Our numbers increased.
We can recycle from 1-7. I see
such excitement.
While commercial recycling
is lagging a little bit behind,
Lawler is happy with the
progress.
Artisans Alley is another
new feature.Were inviting
artists to display their work,
Lawler said. If there are any
artists out there that would
like to be a part of the Artisans
Alley, they can call Patty at
587.4099.
The borough has been
awarded additional grant
money from their performance
and efforts through Earth Day
and the recycling of the phone
books. We were awarded
with a $17,000 project grant.
One of the things we will be
able to purchase in the spring
is bigger recycling containers
with wheels to make it easier
for residents, added Lawler.
Im so grateful to the
people because to get the grant
from the recycling, you need
the whole community going
in the same direction. We just
need to continue to do what
we do best: recycle.
According to Lawler,
the borough is asking for a
humble donation from ven-
dors: $10 for Clarks Summit
residents and $20 for non-
residents.
Were hoping to buy a
gently used bucket truck than
can be used to put the holiday
lights up, she said.
Abasket raffe rally will
also give the borough a mon-
etary boost.
Also as part of the Earth
Day Celebration, the borough
is offering a discount on park-
ing permits.If you purchase
a parking meter for April for
the regular price of $30, you
can buy a permit for May for
$10 as a gift to our residents,
merchants, and landlords,
Lawler said.
In addition, the borough will
suspend all parking meters for
Earth Day.
Clarks Summit United
Methodist Church will host
a Free Electronic Recycling
Day April 13 from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. Everything Natural will
also host a Free Electronic
Recycling Day May 4 from 8
a.m. to noon.

MONOGRAM
who lives in Ohio, joined
forces with her cousin Her-
man R. to take up her fathers
mantle, in the hopes that Henry
receives the honor they believe
he is due.
Were keeping our promise
to keep the fght going and
support all the efforts to get his
just due, Tara said.
Henry Johnson was part of
the 369th Infantry Regiment, a
group of black soldier the U.S.
military assigned to France
because the military was seg-
regated in those days. In May
of 1918, he saved one of his
fellow soldiers during a battle,
fghting the advancing Ger-
mans with a bolo knife after
his gun jammed. He suffered
bullet and grenade shrapnel
injuries. After the battle, which
is called the Battle of Henry
Johnson, France awarded him
its highest military honor, the
Croix de Guerre with gold
palm. The United States mili-
tary, however, did not award
Henry Johnson any medals
following the battle.
He was just an ordinary guy
who loved his country who did
an extraordinary thing, Tara
Johnson said. Because he was
an African American, he went
unrecognized.
He died in 1929, but it would
take decades before Henry
would receive offcial recogni-
tion from the military for his
service.
Hope surged during Presi-
dent Bill Clintons term, thanks
to the efforts of family mem-
bers, historians and admir-
ers. Henry Johnson received
the Purple Heart for injuries
sustained in battle in 1996.
But when President Clinton
left offce in 2001, the Johnson
patriarch had not been honored
with the Congressional Medal
of Honor. Supporters believed
his exploits deserved a medal
for acts of valor. As Clintons
second term drew to a close,
hope faded. And with a new
administration assuming offce,
the process had to be started
anew.
Somewhere in that transi-
tion (between the Clinton
and Bush administrations) it
got lost in that shuffe, said
Morena Walker-Howe. Her late
husband John Howe, a veteran
and an historian, was one of
Henry Johnsons most ardent
advocates. Howe contacted the
Johnson family and since they
have worked together for their
hero. .
Howe, an historian and deco-
rated Vietnam veteran, found
Herman A., who was living
in Missouri, after researching
the elder Johnsons military
exploits, and the two worked
together to draw attention
to the man, whom Morena
Walker-Howe described as one
of Americas unsung heroes.
In 2003, Henry Johnson was
awarded the Distinguished Ser-
vice Cross, the second highest
military honor. Buoyed by this
commendation, his supporters
hoped they had a stronger case
for the Congressional Medal of
Honor.
Since thenthe military has
not elected to award or deny
Henry the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
I know the red tape, and
I know how long the gov-
ernment takes, Herman R.
said. But its a shame, its a
shame.
Were kind of in a hold-
ing pattern, Walker-Howe
said. We dont know what the
holdup is.
Last year, Sen. Schumers
offce released new informa-
tion it had unearthed, and the
senator has drafted a petition to
bolster the case for awarding
Henry Johnson the Congressio-
nal Medal of Honor. The John-
sons, Walker-Howe and others
have circulated the petition.
The petition states that Sen.
Schumers offce has unearthed
new documentation, and the
senator submitted 1,300 pages
in a recommendation to the
military. The recommendation
includes a chain of command
endorsement from General
John Pershing, WWI US Com-
mander of the U.S. Forces in
Europe; an eyewitness account
of Henry Johnsons brave
actions during the battle from
Pvt. Neadom Roberts, the
soldier whose life Henry John-
son saved; a letter from his
commanding offcer, Colonel
William Hayward also detail-
ing the event and more.
The Johnson family has a
storied military past.
* Henrys Lincoln Johnsons
son Herman A. Johnson was
a member of the Tuskegee
Airmen, the frst black pilots in
the military, who few in World
War II.
* Henry Lincoln Johnsons
grandson, Herman R., fought
in the Vietnam War.
* Herman R.s son Greg
Johnson, an Abington Heights
High School junior, recently
committed to a six-year stint
in the National Guard after
graduation, the start of what
he hopes will be a lifelong
military career. He said he was
steeped in the military person-
ality of his family from birth.
* Greg Johnsons cousin
DeMarqus Townsend, fought
in the Iraq War.
Ive taken steps in my
own life to emulate what hes
(Henry Lincoln Johnson)
done, Greg Johnson said.
I decided when I was very
youngI wanted to go into the
military.
I feel honored to have a
grandfather like that, Herman
R. said. Im hoping that it
goes through now.

South Abington
sewer contract
in fnal stages
By Gerard NolaN
SOUTHABINGTON TWP. -
South Abington Twp. hopes to
award a contract for its sewer
line project, set to begin in the
summer, as soon as it irons out
fnal legal details.
Sikora Brothers Paving, Inc.,
of Hunlock Creek, submitted
the lowest bid at $2.67 million,
according to David ONeill,
township supervisor. The su-
pervisors voted unanimously to
express intent to award the con-
tract at a meeting March 25.
The sewage project start date
has not been set, but will begin
after South Abington Elemen-
tary School closes for the sum-
mer. The project is expected
to take six months to complete
and will cover the area behind
the school, the park (which will
close for the summer) up to the
intersection of Venard and Wil-
lowbrook roads.
We feel everythings mov-
ing forward, ONeill said.
South Abington supervi-
sors said work on the sewage
system will include a town-
ship project to replace two
pump stations with a more
cost-effective gravity line. The
Abington Wastewater Author-
ity will work in the area during
the same period.
In related business, the
supervisors discussed a grant
application the township will
submit to improve the South
Abington Park.
The township will put up
$50,000 for some prepara-
tory work this summer and
then $100,000 in improvements
next year in hopes that the De-
partment of Conservation and
Natural Resources (DCNR)
will match that sum.
Theres going to be a lot
of competition for this grant
money, ONeill said. Were
hoping that our park will secure
some money.
The grant is due April 10 and
will be used for new equipment
and paving at the park.
The supervisors agreed that
pre-project and post-project
photos be taken.
In other business, offcials
from Rep. Tom Marinos offce
and State Rep. Marty Flynn
will hold business hours in the
township building.
Marinos offce will be at
the building, 104 Shady Lane
Road, every Friday from 9:30
a.m. to 3 p.m; Flynns offce
each third Wednesday of the
month from 9 a.m. to noon.
Waverly to
apply for
training grant
WAVERLYTWP. - Waverly
Township plans to apply for a
new grant by March 28. The
PennPRIME Grant is avail-
able to its customers each year
and can be used for procedure
training, equipment and servic-
ing equipment. If awarded the
grant, township manager Bill
White said at the March 25
meeting he would like a con-
fned space entry class set.
Aconfned space class would
teach the procedure policies on
entering and exiting small spac-
es dealing with municipality
work, for example a manhole.
Along with the class, White
would like to see a gas meter
to be purchased. Agas meter
would read levels of hazardous
gas from a confned area.
After a meeting with Airgas,
supervisor Thomas Durbin pre-
sented the list of safety recom-
mendations for the wastewater
treatment facility.
The important issues:
keeping the cylinders for the
wastewater treatment facility
separate from each other; trans-
porting them and changing cyl-
inders. Anew dolly will need
to be purchased and Personal
Protective Equipment such as
hard hats, gloves, face shields
and coveralls. Arecommenda-
tion was made by Durbin to
purchase the equipment and
make the changes.

the Dietrich is also gearing
up for its community theatre
production of Auntie mame.
With a cast and crew of 25
members strong, this show will
start its fve-day run on April
24. Written for the stage by
Jerome lawrence and robert
E. lee, Auntie mame is a rol-
licking play full of eccentric
characters that transports the
audience to manhattan in the
1920s. self-centered but lov-
ing Auntie mame, who will
be played by Brenda Wenner,
inherits her brothers 10 year
old son patrick after his death.
Auntie mame is no role model
for raising a child, but under-
neath all her splash and glam-
our beats a heart as big as man-
hattan and an unconventional
love that never gives up. Auntie
mame is an unforgettable show
and a delight for all audiences.
Directed by the Dietrichs own
Jennifer Jenkins, Auntie mame

artists learn to start their careers by helping them perform
tasks such as coordinating with venues, creating press re-
leases and building professional relationships in their feld.
keystone college instructor nikki moser, 47, of Facto-
ryville, said of the class, they spend the semester really
refning the skills they need to become working artists.
moser also commented on the artwork and the antici-
pated exhibition, the caliber of the work and the way
they work so hard to install it will really inspire people to
be engaged in the art.
This years theme, Moving Forward, was chosen by
the students and represents them as emerging artists leav-
ing college and heading into the professional world.
keystone senior Emily taylor of moosic is one of 22
who will have some of their artwork displayed at the local
galleries. taylor discussed what the title of this exhibition
means to her, i feel like the work represents everything
weve been doing for four years, and it just shows how
much weve learned and accomplished.

have a lot of talented kids.
two of those artistic stu-

Gabby, 16, will take on the
role of the Beauty, named
Belle. It is the frst time the
two have been in leading
roles, though they were in pre-
vious productions.
its really exciting and you
get a rush, Kris said, describ-
ing what it feels like to be
on stage. Having the lead is
more pressure, but its more
fun, too. And i love being a
part of it all with everyone.
Gabby was surprised she
earned the role of Belle. i
couldnt believe it at all. i was
so honored and shocked.

Murray
named
MVP
By Tom RoBinson
ARCHBALD T.J. Mur-
ray did much of his scoring
from close to the basket during
a championship season that
included a run to the state quar-
terfnals at Abington Heights.
When he ventured away
from the basket for the Comets,
Murray often took on the role
of passer.
The Lackawanna League
Boys Basketball All-Star Game
allowed Murray to show some
different offensive abilities.
Murray shared Blue team
scoring honors and earned team
Most Valuable Player honors
during a 101-87 loss to the Red
March 26 in the seniors-only
game at Valley View High
School.
It was great to get out of a
system a little bit, said Mur-
ray, who hit three 3-point shots
while scoring 13 points. Its
fun and you get to play with
some great players.
The Red, coached by Lake-
lands Dave Rosencrans and
including three Chiefs on the
roster, dominated much of the
game.
Murray played a big part in
the second-half push that al-
lowed the Blue to briefy make
the game competitive late.
The Red opened leads of
29 points three times midway
Dalton Sauder, a former
Abington Heights student ath-
lete has fnished his high school
football and wrestling career
by accomplishing a very un-
usual featwinning three state
championships in one year.
In the middle of his sopho-
more year, Dalton and his
family relocated to Anchorage,
Alaska where he found an im-
mediate home with the football
program at South Anchorage
High School.
As team captain, Dalton
helped lead the South Anchor-
age Wolverine football team
to a state championship over
Service High School.
The Wolverines were state
runner-up last year to the Ser-
vice Cougars and had a regular
season loss so the victory was
especially sweet in the state
fnal this year.
He was also named the
Alaska State Defensive Player
of the Year for football.
Coming off a state cham-
pionship in football, Dalton
decided to wrestle even though
he had not wrestled since his
freshmen year at Abington
Heights.
His many years of junior
wrestling with Summit Wres-
tling Club and the coaching he
received in junior high and one
year of high school must have
stuck with him as he dominated
the 195 pound weight class.
Posting an impressive season
record of 32-1, he lost only one
match all season which came in
the frst tournament of the year
to the three time small school
state champion.
In the large school state
championship he fnished frst
place and helped lead his team
to a frst ever team state cham-
pionship for the Wolverine
wrestling program.
Dalton plans to attend East-
ern Washington University and
continue his football career.

rtomkavage@theabingtonjournal.com
The Abington Heights High School
baseball team fnished last season with
a 7-8 overall record (7-7 in Lackawan-
na League Division 1) and despite los-
ing several key players to graduation,
head coach Bill Zalewski believes they
can be a factor in the division.
I think we can be very tough, he
said. They are a very, very hard work-
ing group and a real tight group of kids
who hang out off the feld and push
each other to be better players.
The Comets returning starters
include senior shortstop/pitcher Kevin
Elwell, senior second baseman/pitcher
Dante Pasqualichio, senior outfelder
Josh Slocum, sophomore pitcher/
outfelder Tyler Ksiazek and junior
pitcher Dave Manasek.
Other retuning players who should
see signifcant playing time include
junior frst baseman/designated hitter
Justin Porpiglia, junior catcher Scott
Salmon, junior pitcher/outfelder Brad
Smertz, junior infelder/pitcher Matt
Heckman and sophomore pitcher Zach
Manasek.
Zalewski thinks the teams versatil-
ity can play into their favor.
Alot of guys are duel-position
players, he said.
The Comets must replace catcher
Connor Pacyna, third baseman Bran-
don Pacyna, frst baseman Eric Mon-
tella, outfelder Jerry Burke, pitcher/
third baseman Jason Subasic, pitcher/
frst baseman Robbie Eyre and catcher
Nico Surace.
Abington Heights will open its
league season April 3 at Scranton Prep
at 4:30 p.m.
Lackawanna Trail
Lackawanna Trail Lions fnished last
season with a 13-4 overall record and
defeated Old Forge to win the District
2 Class Atitle.
The Lions return senior infelder
Ben McLaughlin, senior pitcher/in-
felder Pete Murazzi, senior outfelder
Vic Rosa, junior pitcher/frst baseman
Matt Flynn and sophomore shortstop
Liam Dougherty.
They must replace pitcher/outfelder
Matt Aten, pitcher/frst baseman Steve
Miller, third baseman Bruce Benko,
catcher Ben Lehman and outfelder
Caleb Darling.
Head coach Todd Peters expects
juniors Jon Zedar and Brian Tuft to
contribute as pitchers/outfelders,
sophomore Cooper Rosiak is expected
to start at catcher and sophomore
Jason Guthrie should see time at third
base. Sophomore Jared Phillips will
be in the mix at frst base, junior Brian
Kearney will see time in the outfeld
and Billy Lee at second base.
Alot of our guys dont have a lot of
experience, but I expect them to work
hard and start gelling together, Peters
said. We lost some big arms off our
pitching staff, so we defnitely have to
play good defense, catch the ball and
score runs when we have the oppor-
tunity. Whether its hitting, bunting or
stealing bases, we have to play every
aspect of the game well in order to win
games this year.
The Lions will begin their league
schedule April 4 at home vs. Susque-
hanna.
Scranton Prep
The Cavaliers fnished last season
with a 7-8 overall record (7-7 in Lack-
awanna Division 1) and were defeated
by Nanticoke in the frst round of the
District 2 playoffs.
They return senior right felder Chris
Gaetano, senior center felder Jim
Graziosi, senior third baseman Matt
Sompel, senior frst baseman Mark
Fetter, senior pitchers Jake Stafursky
and Alex Anzelmi, junior second
baseman John Joe Gustin and junior
catcher Nick Preston.
The team must replace shortstop
Brian ODonnell, left felder Mike
McDonald and designated hitter Fran
Notarianni.
Ross had been impressed with the
development of several players since
last season.
Were really happy with senior
outfelder Ryan Gerrity and some of
the kids coming up from junior varsity,
including sophomore Dan Ryan, who
may begin the season as the starter at
shortstop, and junior Seth Stafursky,
who may see action at multiple posi-
tions, Ross said.
Ross is hopeful that the wealth of
experience returning this season will
pay dividends on the feld.
We have a pretty strong nucleus
coming back with six starters and our
top two pitchers, he said. We will
miss the leadership of the seniors who
graduated, but expect others to step
into that role.
Were cautiously optimistic and
expect to compete in every game.
Ross was satisfed with the effort
in the teams frst scrimmage against
Riverside.
We did some good things, but we
also have some things to work on, he
said. Our pitchers threw strikes for
the most part and our hitters got some
pretty good at-bats.
We can swing the bats a little bit
and we can run a little bit.
Scranton Prep will open its league
schedule April 3 at 4:30 vs. Abington
Heights at home.
Lackawanna Trail Head coach Todd
Peters expects junior Jon Zedar shown,
to contribute as a pitcher/outelder.

To keep pace with a rapidly evolving market, the 9th-generation Honda Civic under-
goes a substantial makeover for the 2013 model year. Key revisions include an all-
new body structure, standard Bluetooth connectivity, refreshed front and rear styling
on sedan models and more premium, soft-touch materials inside.
A number of modications to the chassis, suspension and steering have trans-
formed the 2013 Honda Civic into a surprisingly adept performer. The lions
share of the credit for this above-average drivability goes to the next-generation
ACE II body structure thats both more rigid and lighter than its predecessor.
Offering the type of steering and pedal response that other automakers could
only dream of delivering is a testament to the engineering integrity of the
Honda Civic.

Bostons Isabella Stew-

the scene of the largest art

years ago, a crime that is still
unsolved.
Based on the true facts,
novelist B. A. Shapiro spins a
tale of forgery and fanaticism
in The Art Forger, a new ad-
dition to Adult Fiction at the

The book is available also

As the story begins, one of
the stolen Degas paintings,
taken during the famous heist,
is delivered to the studio of
a young artist, Claire Roth,
who, because of circumstanc-
es, makes her living reproduc-
ing famous works of art for an
online retailer.
Apowerful Boston gallery
owner hires her to forge the
Degas painting, but as she
begins her work, she starts to
suspect that this long-missing
masterpiece may itself be a
forgery.
Claire begins a search for
the truth about the paintings
origins and fnds herself in a
desperate race to save herself
from incrimination.

She was a member of the
Lady Comets Booster Club
for four years and served as
president for two years while
daughter Lauren played for
the team. She was also very
active in the parents clubs
for Jordans track team and
Matts soccer team.
She loved attending her
childrens sporting events
and was without a doubt one
of Abington Heights biggest
supporters and cheerleaders
for all of the players, friend
Kathy Colombo said.
This award serves in
memory of Hoyt and is
meant to remember her spirit
and kindness. Its given to
the player with the following
attributes: love for the game
of basketball, sportsman-
ship, resilience in the face of
adversity, a positive attitude
(even when sitting on the
bench), leading cheers,
kindness to all including the
opposing team, supporting
her teammates and contribut-
ing to the team concept in
every way.
The Lady Comets dedi-
cated their season to Karen
Hoyt by writing her initials
were on their team socks to
honor her throughout the
season.
Karen was an incredible
mother, wife and friend,
Colombo said. Karens
smile, kindness, and spirit
will always be remembered.
The entire Abington com-
munity was blessed to have
known Karen and she is
missed every day. The world
truly is a brighter place be-
cause Karen was in it.

Abington Heights players
were prominent in a 20-point
Blue streak that cut the defcit
to 82-79 with 4:05 remaining.
Kevin Elwell hit a 3-pointer
with 6:22 left and Murray fol-
lowed with two more 3-point-
ers for a burst of nine points in
36 seconds that made it 82-74.
After Valley Views Liam
Callejas made it four straight
Blue 3-pointers, Jamie Egan
banked in a shot to complete
the 20-0 run.
Mac Temples of Scranton
Prep added another 3-pointer
with four minutes left to cut the
gap all the way to 84-82, but
the Blue never got any closer.
Lakelands Kyle Kiehart
had eight points and seven
rebounds in the win and was
joined on the Red by team-
mates Eric Grabowski and
Tyler Brady.
Kiehart joined Dunmores
John Rinaldi in leading a surge
late in the frst quarter to put
the Red in command.
A3-pointer by Kiehart put
the Red ahead to stay, 17-16,
with 2:46 left in the frst quar-
ter. He then assisted a basket
by Rinaldi, scored on a tip-in
and set up Rinaldi again, this
time on a 3-pointer.
Kiehart added another
3-pointer and assisted a
3-pointer by Corey Joyce of
Holy Cross to complete a
streak of 16 straight points that
took less than 2 minutes and

Acloser look at each team:
LACKAWANNATRAIL
Seniors Devin Walsh and
Richard Pollock are returning
starters, but the only players
with signifcant varsity experi-
ence for the Lions.
Walsh returns at middle
blocker.
Pollock, the libero last sea-
son, is being used at different
positions.
Were still tinkering with
the lineup, Lackawanna Trail
coach Deb Joyce said. Were
using him in the front row this
year as well.
Hes very versatile.
Complicating matters for
the Lions, who started 1-1,
was the loss of a starter, senior
outside hitter Wyatt Cooper,
to a sprained ankle. Joyce is
hoping Cooper may be able to
return in a couple weeks.
Juniors Ryan Dill and Dil-
lon Smith are two additions to
the lineup.
They both played AAU
volleyball this winter and that
helped them improve their
games, Joyce said.
Sophomore Aidan Holmes
has also worked his way into
the starting lineup.
Lackawanna Trail needed a
comeback to defeat Mountain
View, 18-25, 25-21, 22-25,
25-17, 15-13, in its opener.
Walsh had 21 kills, Holmes
had 20 assists and Dill had 16
assists in the win.
The Lions fell to Susque-
hanna, 26-24, 25-21, 26-24, in
their second match.
Pollock has a team-high 52
digs in the frst two matches.
ABINGTON HEIGHTS
Spangler, a 2005 graduate,
returns to coach the team he
played for in high school. He
served as an assistant wom-
ens coach at the University of
Pittsburgh and Penn State-
Greater Allegheny before
returning to Abington Heights
as girls coach in the fall.
Im trying to get more in-
terest in volleyball in the area
in general, Spangler said.
Ive talked to a couple other
coaches. Were in the early
stages of talking about ways
to get junior high programs
started.
Seniors Jake Roba, an out-
side hitter, and Mike Pettinato,
a setter, are back for their third
seasons as starters.
Kevin Schumacher, a junior
libero, also returns.
Senior outside hitter Eric
Washo, senior middle hitter
Sean Albright and sophomore
middle hitter Griffn Joyce
have moved into the starting
lineup.
Sophomores Jeremy Critch-
ley, a defensive specialist, and
Joe Deitzer, an outside hitter,
are the key substitutes.
Roba had 29 kills and Pet-
tinato had 28 assists when the
Comets opened with a 25-15,
25-9, 23-25, 25-16 victory
over Forest City.
Roba had 17 kills and 10
aces and Pettinato had 26
assists in a 25-9, 25-12, 25-4
romp over Blue Ridge.
I think we have a pretty
good shot at competing for
the best team in the league,
Spangler said.
The Comets were 10-4 to
fnish third in the league last
season.

her photography at the exhi-
bition. Schneider shared her
excitement about having her
artwork featured, Im just
really excited because its
my frst art exhibition. She
added, I love the idea of gal-
leries, so just to be displayed
in one feels so good.
Schneider also shared what
the events theme means to
her as a student, I think it
just represents another step-
ping stone. Going through
college was a big part of
our lives, and now were all
moving not only forward, but
in all different directions.

so well-known and audiences
have certain expectations of
how the character is played.
The voice is a big part of it.
Theres a lot that goes into
it, he said.
Beauty and the Beast
tells the story of Belle, an
intelligent young woman
scorned by townspeople
for being a bookworm and
dreaming of escape. But
when Belles father gets lost
in the woods and captured by
the frightening Beast, a once-
handsome prince turned into
a monster by a witch, Belle
goes to his aid. The Beast
agrees to release Belles fa-
ther if she agrees to stay with
him forever. Belle is initially
disgusted, but comes to ap-
preciate the Beasts hidden,
tender nature.
Gabby said the role of
Belle is challenging, but she
is well-prepared thanks to her
directors.
Im nervous but really
honored that Mrs. Moyles
and Mr. (Daniel) Marx (the
musical director) have conf-
dence in me and have really
encouraged me.
Gabby and Kris said one of
the most demanding aspects
of their roles is the singing.
Neither has experience sing-
ing in front of a crowd.
I sing in the car, but
nothing like this, Kris said,
laughing. But Mr. Marx
really worked with us and
helped us so much. And
theyre good songs; when
you like the songs its a lot
easier.
Gabby said, Mr. Marx has
really worked with us. Hes
unbelievable. She said the
singing aspect adds pressure,
but shes confdent she will
excel.
I can do it, Gabby said.
The production will mark
62 for Mrs. Moyles. My joy
is seeing the students grow,
not only as performers, but as
people, she said.
12, 19, 26, and May 3 from

Neighborhood of Make-Believe to Clarks Summit
For many youngand
young at heart fans of PBS
television show Mister Rogers
Neighborhood who long to
travel into The Neighborhood
of Make-Believe, that dream
may soon come true through
music and storytelling.
The Arts at First Presbyterian
Church 2012-2013 seasons
fnal session, Jazz for Kids,
will be held April 7 at the First
Presbyterian Church, 300
School St., Clarks Summit, at
4 p.m.
This free event, open to all
ages, will feature live jazz
renditions of compositions by
the late Fred Rogers, creator of
the TV show.
The concerts lineup of
musicians will feature Rev. Bill
Carter, pastor of the church,
and the Presbybob Quartet,
along with regional musicians
Marko Marcinko on drums
and Tony Marino on bass;
Erin Malloy on vocals and Jeff
Stockham, who was recently
featured as a musician in the
Academy Award-winning flm
Lincoln, on trumpet and
French horn.
Aspecial visit will be made
by Mr. McFeely from the TV
show, as played by David
Newell, who, along with some
puppets from the show, will
share stories with those in at-
tendance. He will also be avail-
able for meet-and-greets with
the children after the concert.
The idea originated in my
mind after Mr. McFeely (David
Newell) and I did a joint pro-
gram together last July in the
Pittsburgh Childrens Muse-
um, said Carter. We hit it off
immediately, and I thought it
would be a great thing to bring
him to our neighborhoodI
thought it would be a lot of fun
to bring together a group of
NEPAs amazing jazz musi-
cians, all for the beneft and
delight of children and those
who love them.
Newell expressed equal en-
thusiasm about the event, say-
ing concerts like it are impor-
tant for families and refect the
ideals of Fred Rogers career.
Its exposing children and
adults to different types of
music, he said, adding that all
are welcome, as it is a commu-
nity event, not a religious one,
despite the location.
It will be a nice little con-
cert for young and old, said
Newell.
According to Carter, the
event will be highly participa-
tory for the children, who will
receive the best seats up front.
We want to make this a
very accessible event for chil-
dren, Carter said. The music
will be lively and positive,
with lyrics on a childs level
of understanding, and rhythms
that will set everybodys toes
to tapping.
There is no charge and no
tickets required for the show,
which is made possible by a
Lackawanna County Arts and
Cultural Grant, a Pennsylvania
Partners in the Arts grant and
gifts from individual donors.
Those who wish may bring
donations of slightly used or
new sweaters for a sweater
drive in honor of Fred Rogers
and his famous sweaters. The
clothing, according to Carter,
will later be shared with those
who utilize the St. Francis
Soup Kitchen in Scranton.
Newell explained many
sweater drives have been held
at similar events, and through-
out the years, over fve million
sweaters were collected so far.
It all goes back to rep-
resenting Fred Rogers, he
said, and his reaching out to
children and families.
