Always dreamed
of SPACE CAMP?
Becoming
president of
the National
Honor Society
had always
been a goal
for Erika Sar-
no. The rea-
son: she saw
the position as an opportunity
to have a direct impact on the
community. I was inspired by
past officers and wanted to
make similar contributions to
my school and community.
After making a campaign
speech, I was elected by the
members of NHS, Sarno
said.
An 18-year-old senior at
Abington Heights High
School, Sarno has served as
president since the end of the
2011 school year. Its her hope
that the new officers build to
improve the events that were
started this year as well as
develop their own ideas. Sarno
said she sees the members
continuing to work with dili-
gence and enthusiasm to serve
the community and maintain
their high academic standing.
Students are selected to apply
if they have a minimum GPA
of 93 percent. Then, they must
complete a rigorous applica-

WAVERLY TWP.- Street addressing
issues have been a problem in Waverly
Township for many years. Township Man-
ager Bill White has taken steps to find a
solution.
According to White, Waverly Township
first approached the United States Postal
Service about changing addresses for resi-
dents in February 2009.
The township sought to change the ad-
dressing system so that the last line of
each mailing address reflected the name of
the municipality.
Many municipalities have done this,
dating back to the Public Safety Emergen-
cy Telephone Act of 1990, but it really
became very important after the 9/11/2001
attacks, White
said.
The Depart-
ment of Home-
land Security
issued a direc-
tive requesting
the implementa-
tion of 911 Ad-
dressing nation-
wide in 1990. It
was standardized
throughout the
country. The
system mea-
sured roads and
every 52.8 feet
was a different
number.
The reason for 52.8 feet is that every
100 numbers was exactly one mile, White
said. After 9/11, the Department of
Homeland Security also wanted residents
to use their municipality name in their
address so emergency responders knew
their exact location. In this area, a lot of
residents had a RR (rural route) 1 or RR2
and a box number, White said. The box
numbers really didnt follow a specific
order on a street.
According to White, the township sent a
letter to Carol Shenberger with the United
States Postal Service Address Manage-
ment Systems requesting an evaluation by
the department of the mailing or location
addresses in the township to determine if

As The University of
Scranton faculty contract
approaches its August 31
expiration, negotiations
which began in February to
extend the contract, are ex-
pected to drag on through-
out the summer, according
to Faculty Affairs Council
(FAC) Chairman Michael
Friedman.
The topic of discussion on
the negotiating table is the
New Department Chair
Concept, which, according
to Friedman, was introduced
as a non-negotiable stip-
ulation. He said the con-
cept takes the current posi-
tions of academic depart-
ment chairpersons as elect-
ed full-time faculty
members and replaces them
with administrative appoin-
tees.
A statement released by
the council includes, This
action constitutes an unfair
labor practice because it
takes work being done by
union members and trans-
fers it to non-union employ-
ees.
Stan Zygmunt, University
of Scranton spokesperson,
said, The new approach to
academic chairs to which
we aspire responds to the
challenging and dynamic
landscape of higher educa-
tion nationally; supports our
pursuit of strategic opportu-
nities and will lead to more

Editor:
I applaud the efforts of the
Abington Heights School Board
to hold the line on taxes and
spending. Theirs is not an easy
task and requires many difficult,
and painful decisions.
While I do not like the
thought of having the number of
teachers and other academic
positions reduced there are few
other options at this point. For
too long things have been let go
and unnecessary spending run
rampant.
One of the areas allowed to
run rampant is the athletic de-
partment.
I totally disagree with the
handful of people who are upset
at the idea of cutting or eliminat-
ing the junior high sports pro-
grams. Contrary to what one
proponent of these programs is
quoted, as saying the purpose of
the district is not to benefit the
students athletically, the purpose
of the district is academics.
There is no mandate, legally or
otherwise, for any public district
to have any type of sports pro-
gram(not to be confused with
physical education, which is
mandated).
Athletics are nothing more
than an expensive hobby, which
are enjoyed by a minority of
students and adults, while being
a burden to the taxpayers and a
distraction fromacademics.
Not only should all junior
level sports be eliminated (they
did not exist two generations
ago) but even the varsity sports
need to be greatly reduced.
Imagine if past boards had not
spent taxpayer dollars on a total-
ly refurbished football stadium
and professional- size soccer
pitch, both of which sit idle
months at a time and are under-
utilized even when in season.
The overwhelming majority
of taxpayers in the district do not
have children in school, if they
even have children. Why then
should they be forced to pay for
the superfluities of those who do
have children in our public
schools?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor:
ABCand CBSrecently fea-
tured an undercover investiga-
tion video by the Humane So-
ciety of the United States
(HSUS) at a training barn for
Tennessee Walking horses. The
footage shows horses being
brutally whipped, kicked,
shocked in the face and violently
cracked across the heads and
legs with heavy wooden sticks.
It also shows these horses being
subjected to a cruel practice
known as soring - the intentional
infliction of pain to their feet and
legs to produce the unnatural
high stepping, otherwise known
as the Big Lick.
While being sored, horses are
left in stalls for days, fitted with
tall, heavy stacks of pads to
accentuate their gait and stand
on an unnatural angle. Their legs
are covered in caustic chemicals
such as kerosene or diesel oil,
and plastic wrap to cook the
chemicals deep into the flesh. It
is common to see horses lying
down in their stalls, moaning in
pain. Foreign objects are often
inserted between the horses
hoofs, adding to the horses
suffering. Chains are put on the
foot and slide up and down
when the horses walk, further
irritating the already painful
areas, producing the exaggerat-
ed gait. All this for a ribbon.
Please write or call your U.S
Representative and two U.S.Se-
nators urging themto fix the
problems in the Federal Horse
Protection Act.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2012 THE ABINGTON JOURNALCLARKS SUMMIT, PA WWW.THEABINGTONJOURNAL.COM PAGE 3A
GLENBURNTWP.- At the
Glenburn Twp. board of super-
visors meeting May 21, town-
ship solicitor MalcolmMac-
Gregor announced that a com-
plaint had been received from
the Delaware and Hudson Rail-
ways regarding a proposed
communication tower in Glen-
burn. MacGregor explained that
the township had issued a stop-
work order in October when he
said railroad officials began
work on a150-foot communi-
cations tower on Waterford
Road. Since issuing the order,
the township had asked for
signal strength data that would
support the location for the
tower, as well as a face-to-face
meeting with railroad repre-
sentatives. According to Mac-
Gregor, neither request had
been fulfilled and the order
remained in place. MacGregor
said the railroad sent a com-
plaint May18 stating that they
would file a lawsuit in federal
court should the stop -work
order not be pulled.
MacGregor said he felt it was
premature for the railroad to
litigate without a face-to-face
meeting. He explained that
railroad representatives feel that
the township is trying to regu-
late railroad traffic, which he
said is not the case.
Thats not what were trying
to do at all, MacGregor said.
Glenburn is interested in pro-
tecting its residents in the terms
of their health and safety, and
thats an issue for us.
MacGregor cited a similar
problemwith the railroad in
2002 in which the township was
able to successfully convince
the railroad that a tower was not
needed in the township. He said
the supervisors hope the same
result would occur should the
same steps be taken as in 2002.
Supervisor Mike Savitsky mo-
tioned to allowMacGregor to
defend Glenburn Twp. should
the railroad file any litigation in
federal court. The motion was
unanimously approved.

SOUTH ABINGTON
TWP.- Its a Mexican
Fiesta when walking
into the new La Ton-
alteca Restaurant locat-
ed on Northern Boule-
vard in South Abing-
ton Township. Brightly
decorated walls, tables
and chairs, Mexican
music playing in the
background add to the
ambience.
La Tonalteca opened
its doors at its second
location May 21, to
crowd waiting to expe-
rience all that the new
restaurant had to offer.
La Tonalteca, is under
the watchful eye of
three partners from
Delaware who also
operate the La Ton-
alteca in Dickson City
and both are places of
which they are very
proud.
Thelma Cedillo, one
of the partners noted,
This location was
perfect for us. We
came up to look for a
second location since
our first location in
Dickson City is always
packed. This building,
which was formerly
Charlies, was perfect
from the start. We
came in and as you
can see transformed it
and we have brought a
bit of Mexico right
here to Pennsylvania.
Cedillo added that
the restaurant prides
itself on authentic
Mexican food and that
every meal is made
fresh to order, We
believe in cooking ev-
erything fresh when it
is ordered, we create
our own sauces right
here at the restaurant
every day, and we
have our very own
Mexican chef here
looking over how ev-
erything is prepared.
We are very proud that
we are a family restau-
rant. . She added,
We have so much
more then just Mex-
ican food, we offer
steaks, seafood, chick-
en and a whole variety
of foods, she said.
Yonathan Galindo,
public relations manag-
er for La Tonalteca,
said, La Tonalteca
began in Delaware in
1992 and has grown to
other areas outside of
Delaware. As you look
around, we have
brought many of the
colors of Mexico here,
we even have a few
pyramid displays. This
restaurant has totally
been transformed. We
offer daily specials
Monday through Sat-
urday, such as a $5.99
lunch and our menu is
both in Spanish and
English. It gives you
the feeling like you
are in Mexico itself.
We also offer a beauti-
ful large outdoor patio
for dinning and par-
ties.
La Tonalteca is open
Sunday through Thurs-
day 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.
and Friday and Sat-
urday 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.
and is located on
Northern Boulevard in
South Abington Twp.

June is National Myasthenia
Gravis Awareness Month. In
recognition of this, the North
American Chapter of the
Myasthenia Gravis Founda-
tion of America (MGFA) and
Allied Services Integrated
Health System are holding
Myasthenia Gravis Awareness
Day in Northeastern Pa. June
6 at 4 p.m. at Allied Rehab in
Scranton.
Scott M. Frie-
denberg, MD
will be guest
speaker at the
event.
According
to the founda-
tion, Myasthe-
nia Gravis
(MG) is an
autoimmune
neuromuscu-
lar disease
that affects all
ages, races
and genders.
Symptoms
include weak-
ness in muscles that control
eye movements and eyelids,
chewing, swallowing, cough-
ing, facial expressions, arm
and leg movements and
breathing.
The prevalence of the dis-
ease in the U.S. is estimated to
be 20 myasthenics per
100,000 people. Yet thousands
remain undiagnosed mainly
due to the fact that the disease
may be difficult to diagnose
under certain circumstances,
according to the foundation.
There is no known cure, but
there is treatment. Because it
is a chronic, progressive ill-
ness, it is recommended by
the foundation that those ex-
periencing symptoms seek
medical consultation from a
neurologist or ophthalmol-
ogist.
The mission of the Myas-
thenia Gravis Foundation of
America, Inc. is to find a cure
for the disease and closely
-related disorders, to improve
treatment options, to provide
information, and to support
people with MG through re-
search, education, community
programs, and advocacy. To
learn more, visit Myasthe-
nia.org.
Stress can exacerbate the
symptoms of myasthenics,
and can negatively impact
their lives, as well as the lives
of their families and loved
ones. To help alleviate stress
as well as provide informa-
tion, the North American
Chapter of the foundation has
formed a support group in
Scranton, which is held at
Allied Rehab, as well as in
Danville. For information on
the support groups, call Vera
Krewsun at 687.6009.
Friedenberg, a neurologist
with Geisinger Health System
in Danville, is a graduate of
Temple University of Med-
icine and is board certified in
neurology and clinical neu-
rophysiology. He specializes
in the treatment of the disease.
Marie Barrouk Monahan,
SLP, Director of Speech Pa-
thology and Audiology, Allied
Services will also speak at the
Awareness Day Event. She
will provide information on
swallowing disorders associ-
ated with the disease, as well
as the latest treatments avail-
able.
The presentation will take
place in the Graf Community
Room, located in the Charles
Luger Outpatient Center on
Moffat Drive off the Morgan
Highway in Scranton.
For information on the pre-
sentation, call Debbie Clen-
dening at 348.1222.

RANSOM TWP. - At the
Ransom Township Planning
Commission meeting May 21,
the township voted to send a
letter notifying Paul Merkel
Jr., owner of property on
South Sekol Avenue, of neces-
sary requirements for approval
of his requested subdivision of
an add-on to that property. It
was noted a letter had been

and finalized in January. The
plans, which the Planning
Commission voted to accept,
are to add the additional land
to another of the lots.
It was noted that no new

P
ainting a wall-size polka-
dot dinosaur, enjoying
time at the playground,
attending field trips to the zoo,
and participating in circus days
are just some of the many me-
mories shared by past students
of the Waverly Preschool. They
and their families are likely to be
reminded of these and more on
Monday, June11at a party to be
held at the Waverly Community
House in honor of Sylvia Jen-
kins, of Clarks Green, who
established the preschool in
1985.
The party will be in cele-
bration of Jenkins 40 -plus
years of teaching and her June1
retirement. The free event, open
to the community, will be held
in the gymnasiumfrom4:30 -
6:30 p.m. It is planned by her
three children: Erica Jenkins,
Alison Ratamess and Jason
Jenkins, along with Kathy Da-
vis, newowner of the preschool.
Erica Jenkins said she thinks
party attendees will most enjoy
the opportunity to connect with
people who have all been tou-
ched by [Sylvia Jenkins] and the
school, fun activities for the
kids, opportunities for former
students to find themselves in
class pictures, cake and Man-
nings Ice Cream.
According to Ratamess, the
event will be part retirement
party and part reunion for for-
mer students, and will include a
large collection of photos from
the past 40 years. She said its
purpose is twofold: to give the
community an opportunity to
share in the celebration and to
give Jenkins the opportunity to
thank the community members
for their part in her life.
So many wonderful children
and families have come through
the Waverly Preschool over her
long career, said Ratamess.
One of those children was
Dane Craig, of South Abington
Township, who attended one of
Jenkins first preschool classes
more than 40 years ago when
she taught fromthe Waverly
United Methodist Church build-
ing before the Waverly Pre-
school was established. Craig
nowhas four children of his
own, ages 20, 19, 16 and12, who
also attended the Waverly Pre-
school.
Craig said although he doesnt
remember much fromwhen he
was that age, both he and his
children had positive experi-
ences at the Waverly Preschool
and have a high respect for Syl-
via Jenkins. He said as a parent,
he appreciated the way she
shared her observations and
recommendations regarding his
children and their education.
He said he believes her big-
gest strength as a teacher is her
ability to communicate with the
children and hold their attention.
Shes authoritative, but not
intimidating, he explained.
Another of Jenkins past stu-
dents is Kevin Manning, who
said he is also sending his chil-
dren to Waverly Preschool (he
and his wife Kacy are expecting
their third child in July). He said
he always knewhe wanted his
children to attend, because Jen-
kins made such an impression
on his own life.
That impression was so big,
he returned to the preschool to
help with the lunch programfor
a year while he was in between
high school and college.
Shes a phenomenal teacher,
he said. What she teaches and
what she does with the students
really impacts them...she really
has a special touch with kids.
Michelle Fahey, of Dalton, is
thankful for Jenkins impact on
her family. She said her two
youngest siblings attended Jen-
kins classes in the Waverly
United Methodist Church build-
ing, and she went to elementary
school with Jason Jenkins.
Fahey nowhas three girls,
ages 8, 7 and 5, all of whom
attended Waverly Preschool.
She said Jenkins helped her girls
a lot, not only with learning their
ABCs, but also with their social
skills. She described the teacher
as energetic and loving, add-
ing that she is fair with her stu-
dents, being careful not to play
favorites.
Jenkins philosophy is ex-
plained in a handout at the pre-
school, readiness for any task
has its roots in the biological/
maturational makeup of the
child. We cannot produce, speed
up or ignore readiness. When
children are ready, and only
then, will they walk, talk, read
and performother academic
functions with ease.
I believe strongly that chil-
dren need to play, Jenkins said.
Play is critical.
Jenkins said some of the best
parts of teaching were the mo-
ments of awe displayed by the
students when they understood
things and the enthusiasmthey
expressed. Everything is just
amazing to them, she said.
At a loss for words as to what
the past 40 years has meant to
her, she simply summed it up,
Its been great.
While shes not sure what will
come after retirement, she said
she hopes to do volunteer work
and stay involved in the commu-
nity.

split up too. Dan will study
German and secondary edu-
cation at Bloomsburg Uni-
versity and Matt will major in
engineering at Penn State
Worthington Scranton.
We just did different
things, they said.
Joey Hamersly said he will
study communications, and
his brother, Billy, will take up
French and English second-
ary education.
The differences between
most of the siblings are phys-
ical, too. Most of the mul-
tiples look more like regular
siblings than twins or triplets;
thats because only two sets
of twins are identical, while
the rest of the twins and the
set of triplets are fraternal.
Identical twins occur when
a single egg, fertilized by a
single sperm, splits into two
identical halves. Fraternal
twins occur when two sep-
arate eggs are fertilized by
two separate sperm.
Corey and Cailey Ware,
the only boy/girl duo, do not
share a physical resemblance,
yet they say they are still
confused for each other.
Were polar opposites, but
people mix us up, Cailey
said, citing her brothers in-
terest in art and hers in sports.
The Wares were the only
siblings who admitted to
attempting the age-old trick
of switching classes un-
beknownst to their teachers.
While their differences
were the dominant theme,
some of the twins stressed
their similarities.
We have the same friends,
play the same sports and do
the same activities, Brandon
Pacyna said of his twin broth-
er, Connor, and himself. He
said overall he thought he and
his brother had more simi-
larities than differences.
Aaron and Connor Flem-
ing are the only siblings who
will attend college together.
Both will be freshmen at
Temple University this fall.
We never talked about it
with each other, they said.
It was a coincidence. It was
meant to be. When the
Flemings reached their final
decisions, they were sur-
prised to learn that they had
chosen the same school.
The tripletsKevin, Me-
lissa and Stephen Keisling
say that people dont have a

People refer to us as
twins, Melissa said. She said
she wasnt sure why, but that
it happened often.
Among the whole group
twin telepathythe idea
that twins have a means of
communicating that doesnt
seemto have a scientific
explanationseemed to be a
real phenomenon. The Cal-
lens provided the most dra-
matic example.
Dan was driving by South
Abington Park when he felt
inexplicably drawn to stop
and the park and walk
around. He aimlessly wan-
dered deep into the woods.
Matt, who happened to be
in the same woods, said he
heard footfalls behind him.
I turned around and it was
Dan, he said, recalling how
astounded he was.
Upon seeing his brother,
Dan said, I guess twin telep-
athy is real
He was really confused.
He didnt knowwhy I was
there, Dan said.
Other than the occasional
coincidence, the brothers
said they seemto have a
heightened awareness of
each others emotions and
thoughts.
When hes sad, I feel sad.
When hes happy, I feel hap-
py for him, Callen said.
The deep emotional con-
nection points to the shared
difficulty as they prepare to
move on to the next phases of
their lives. The transition is
bittersweet, as many of the
siblings will be apart for the
first time .
Were both eager to start
our own separate lives, Tif-
fany Coles said. But its
going to be hard because
weve always had each other.
Were going to be on the
phone and Skype a lot.

FACTORYVILLE- Sixth-
grade Lackawanna Trail Ele-
mentary student AJ Hendershot
earned the opportunity to ex-
plore the final frontier in NASA
Space Camp at the U.S. Space
&Rocket Center in Huntsville,
Ala.
Hendershot will spend six
days this summer at the space
camp. She chose the program
Space Track, in which she will
complete hands-on activities,
such as rocket construction,
experimenting, astronaut sim-
ulators and simulated space
missions. She will also take
classes on space history.
Hendershot was one of 15
military children in the country
to be selected for the Bernard
Curtis Brown II Memorial
Space Camp Scholarship,
which will pay for cost and
travel expenses. Bernard Curtis
Brown II was a military child,
who died on September 11,
2001when his hijacked airliner
crashed into the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C. He was on
his way to California to repre-
sent his school at a National
Geographic event.
I feel proud and honored,
said Hendershot. I didnt think
I was going to get picked, but I
felt proud that I did.
To earn this scholarship,
Hendershot wrote an essay
about her achievements
and her future plans.
She also wrote about
her father in the Navy
Reserves deployed
in Afghanistan,
where he is an
intelligence
analyst at the
Parwan Deten-
tion Facility.
AJ Hender-
shot received
letters of recom-
mendation from
her science
teacher
Mr.Gercken and
her math teach-
er Mrs. Franko as
well as her language teacher
Mr. Muller.
The teachers were very
supportive about writing letters
of recommendation, said Hen-
dershot.
AJ is a creative thinker with
an awareness for detail and a
passion for logic, which serves
her well both in her math and
science courses, Franko said.
She has the ability to drawon
her life experiences and to share
her kindhearted beliefs on an
array of issues and topics.
She takes on the responsib-
ility of assisting her classmates
without being asked and takes
on leadership roles that are
inspiring. She is very charitable
with her time and her efforts.
She has a natural ability to
make others feel safe and ac-
cepted unconditionally. I am
proud to have had the opportu-
nity to have a student like AJ in
my class at Trail.
Hendershots favorite subjects
are science and math. She par-
ticipated in the Frank Sottile
Middle School Math Contest,
which was held at Marywood
University May17.
She also enjoys playing
sports such as softball, soccer,
basketball, field hockey, golf
and fishing.
Were extremely proud of
AJ, said Dr. Tania Stoker, prin-
cipal of Lackawanna Trail Ele-
mentary Center. She is a
well-rounded student both
academically and extracur-
ricularly. Obviously, this
is a huge honor with only
15 students being chosen
around the country. AJ
is very deserving of
it. I think shell
have a great time
in space camp.
Its a nice tribute
to her dad.

Introducing
Competition usually brings
out the best in people. In this
case, it couldnt be more true.
Students fromAbington
Heights, Lackawanna Trail and
Scranton Prep high schools are
part of the Relay for Life of the
Abingtons fundraiser and are
competing against relay teams
fromDelaware Valley and Pitt-
ston area to raise money for the
American Cancer Society.
According to Abbie Gall, a
senior at Abington Heights High
School, the competition is based
on percentages of which groups
sign up the most teams and
raises the most money.
Gall has been involved with
the Relay committee since her
freshman year. This year, she is a
teamcaptain and co-chair.
It brings the community
together and raises so much
money, Gall said. It gives you
the chance to provide hope and
make a difference in peoples
lives.
According to Gall, the Relay
for Life of the Abingtons has set
a goal of $31,000.
Were working hard holding
fundraising events, she said.
Two other co-chairs are Kait-
lyn Davis, a junior at Scranton
Prep, and Jenn Rich of Abington
Heights.
Relay for Life begins June 2 at
3 p.m. and runs through June 3
at Abington Heights High
School. Anyone wishing to take
part in Relay for Life, a fun-
draiser or just wishing to make a
donation can go to www.relay-

- At an Abington Area Joint
Recreation Board meeting
May 17, Marie King, board
volunteer and Abington Area
Community Park Dog Park
organizer, reported on a num-
ber of items regarding the dog
park.
We had a very successful
clean up at the dog park and a
lot of volunteers came out-
not only did we do a clea-
nup, but the following week
we held an Arbor Day Cele-
bration at the Pavilion and
planted five trees along the
lake, said King. She also
reported that a visitor to the
dog park gave an anonymous
$2,000 donation.
Linda Young, Recreation
Board member, reported fish-
ing line receptacles will be
placed around the park for
used, broken fishing line and
hooks.
The point of the project is
to protect water and marine
life, said Young. Willy Jones
presented this project at the
2011 Forever Young Kids
Fishing Derby and Family
Fun Day, said Young. He
(Jones) also taught it at
Comm Camp. The Comm
used Willys project to apply
for a grant to purchase recep-
tacles and spread awareness
about this project.
Recreation Board Chair,
Bill Risse, said, Discarded
line looks harmless, but it
tangles around birds and
ducks, which have no way to
get free. Most fishermen are
careful to try and hang onto
to old line, but without a col-
lection point they also get
tangled up in it, and it winds
up on the ground. So the
project will not only provide
containers for our lake, but
also be a live teaching tool
that will impact habits that
anglers will carry to other
lakes.
Dori Waters, an Abington
Area Community Classroom
organizer, discussed the class-
rooms spring semester. We
had a great spring semester,
and are busy planning the fall
(session). The groups mis-
sion is to provide the com-
munity with enrichment and
recreation through a broad
array of learning opportuni-
ties.
Young reported on sponsor-
ship for the upcoming For-
ever Young Kids Fishing
Derby. Grand sponsors for the
event to be held June 9, 9
a.m. to noon at the Abington
Area Community Park in
South Abington Twp. include:
the Young Family, Abington

Geisinger-CMC and Pruden-
tial Financial.

William Thomas Walton
died May 19, 2012.
Williams life was a testa-
ment to his advocacy of
people coping with the dif-
ficulties of the human con-
dition. He had a deep belief
in the Christian principles
of the Holy Trinity and
Divine Grace.
He spent his professional
career as a Lutheran minis-
ter, earning his bachelors
degree from Muhlenburg
College in Allentown and
masters degrees from the
Lutheran Seminary, Phila-
delphia and Marywood Uni-
versity, Scranton. He earned
his DMin through Wartburg
University, Waverly, Iowa. A
native of central Pennsylva-
nias Panther Valley, Wil-
liam received the Pro Deo
Et Patria scouting Award
and spent so much of his
childhood roaming the
woods he earned the nick-
name Nature Boy.
His career was spent
serving at parishes all over
Pennsylvania: Grace Luth-
eran Church in Norristown,
Trinity Lutheran Church,
Coatesville, Advent Mission
Church, Richboro, St Pauls
Lutheran Church, Tower
City and Trinity Lutheran
Church, Clarks Summit,
before retiring as pastor of
Simeon Lutheran Church in
Gratz in 1986. In retirement
he served as chaplain at
Susquehanna Lutheran Vil-
lage and as interim pastor
at St. Pauls Lutheran
Church, Millersburg, where
he taught a Bethel bible
study course for many
years.
Throughout his life he
championed those with
weak societal voices. He
trained youth at work
camps in mental hospitals
and retirement homes. He
worked extensively in prison
ministry and for prisoners
rights in Scranton. Through-
out his life he attempted to
bridge the divisions in the
church. In his last years he
converted to Catholicism.
This conversion gave him
great strength throughout
the many years of his suf-
fering.
The Wampus was an
avid reader on a broad area
of topics. He loved to hike,
sail, paint, and study histo-
ry, and was a prolific writer
of short stories and edi-
torials. William and his
wife of 57 years, Mary Ann
(Jolley), were inseparable.
They met at Camp Daddy
Allen in 1948 as counselors
for children living with
crippling conditions. She
supported him devotedly
through his many parish
assignments. They found
yearly recuperation during
their summer sojourns to
the northern Maine woods.
Mary Ann survives her
husband along with daugh-
ters Rebecca Adrian, Annie
Lane and Sarah Bragan;
grandchildren William, Tho-
mas, Meredith, Aaron, Ra-
chel, Ian, Andrew, Ga-
brielle, Christian, and Isaac,
as well as two great-grand-

wife, Judy and two neph-
ews, also survive him.

There is something to be said
for trying newthings. It defi-
nitely is a way to put a little bit
of zest into life. To that end, the
Dietrich will be offering a varie-
ty of newclasses and events for
us to try this June. For example
the theater will be hosting Kun-
dalini yoga classes with in-
structors Barbara Tierney and
Melissa Russo starting Saturday,
June 2 from10 - 11:30 a.m. In
this class, you will experience
the gifts that Kundalini yoga has
to offer as you explore breath,
movement and mantra leading
you into a deeper connection
with your own truth. This form
of yoga is challenging to every-
one yet can be done by every-
one. The Dietrichs Program-
ming Coordinator Margie
Young has told me that taking
Kundalini yoga on a Saturday
morning really re-energizes her
for the rest of the day. Sounds
good. Right? Those who attend
are asked to bring a yoga mat
and a blanket. Classes will also
be held on Saturdays, June 9, 30
and August 11from10 - 11:30
a.m. at the Dietrich. Admission
is $15 per class. Plus there will
be a special Kundalini Yoga
session at Tunkhannocks River-
side Park on Saturday, July 28
from10 - 11:30 a.m. What could
be better than doing yoga right
by the scenic Susquehanna.
The Dietrich will also be
hosting an Introduction to the
Game of Go series in June. On
Mondays, June11, 18, 25, and
July 2 from6 - 7 p.m., adults
and students ages eleven and up
will learn this ancient game that
originated in China more than
4,000 years ago and is still pop-
ular today. Like Kundalini yoga,
it too is easy to learn yet can be
very challenging. During these
classes, instructor Bill Herron
will teach those who participate
the fundamentals of the Game
of Go, and by the end of the
class series we may be able to
have a Go tournament for those
who wish to take part. Admis-
sion is free.
For those of you who are
more interested in nature and
gardening, the Dietrich will be
hosting a presentation with
Bonnie Gale on The Potential of
Living WillowStructures In the
Landscape on Wednesday, June
20 at 7 p.m. Bonnie is an expert
in her field who has been build-
ing living willowstructures in
the landscape since 2004. Dur-
ing her illustrated lecture, she
will showthe basic concepts of
building living structures, the
development of her work, in-
ternational examples and the
great potential for commercial
applications. Her structures
have been featured in House and
Garden, Vogue, and FiberArts
magazine, and she appeared on

P
rofessors Kimberly Pav-
lick and Beth Holmes
were pleasantly surprised
when more than 200 students,
faculty and parents streamed
into the Loyola Science Center
at The University of Scranton
May 12 for the premiere of the
documentary: Pilgrimage to
Uganda: a transformational
learning experience. In Janu-
ary, students from the university
set out to Uganda for a pilgrim-
age where they took part in a
course called Christianity in
Africa. The class was held by
Charles Pinches, Ph.D., profes-
sor and chair of theology and
religious studies. This year, the
faculty received a grant to bring
technology with them to Ugan-
da. Kimberly Pavlick, Ph.D.,
assistant professor of communi-
cation, decided to accompany
the group with a plan to create
a documentary.
Over the course of the trip,
Pavlick, labeled the trip mom,
and the 10 Jesuit honors stu-
dents enrolled in the course
filmed and recorded every step
of their religious journey. When
they returned, Professor Beth
Holmes of the communication
department edited the film in
such a way that told the story of
the students experience in
Uganda. Later she interviewed
the students.
Telling the story through
their mouths and seeing it
through their eyes makes it very
poignant, Pavlick said.
The running theme of the
documentary is that even
though a lot of suffering exists
in Uganda, joy exists alongside
it.
The people [in Uganda] de-
pend on their faith for joy and
suffering, and the joy they have
is very infectious, Holmes
said.
At the film premiere, students
said that they could not believe
that the documentary was fo-
cused on what they learned and
their experience. The story was
developed on the basis of the
poverty, faith, suffering and joy
of the Christians in Africa.
This was the first time that
the theology, philosophy and
communication departments
worked together to create a
learning experience for their
students.
During the film, people
laughed when Professor Pavlick
danced on screen and cried
when they realized how difficult
life is for the people of Uganda.
Pavlick described the audience
at the premiere as feeling
moved and deeply touched by it.
According to Pavlick, after the
premiere, people came up to the
students and faculty who partic-
ipated and said, I understand. I
saw. I felt.
Currently, Holmes is planning
on airing the documentary on
Comcast and will be creating a
YouTube channel in the near
future where it can be viewed.
Holmes will be submitting the
documentary into various com-
petitions and at the academic
conference where all Jesuit
schools meet.
The faculty members at the
university hope the documen-
tary will help to assuage the
fear of visiting a third world
country. Pavlick said she felt
perfectly safe her entire stay
and humbled by the experience.
There is not a day that goes by
that she has not been trying to
figure out a way to raise money
for a well to be built near the
church of Father Henry Mulwai,
a pastor they met in Uganda.
[Since their return] we still
marvel that our water is clean,
food is put in front of us and
that we have electricity, Pavlick
said.
In January, students from The University of Scranton set out to Uganda for a pilgrimage where they took part in a course
called Christianity in Africa. Shown above, are: Rev. Henry Mulwai, Nicholas Lowry, Deanna Lindburg, Kelly Crowley, Gilian
Naro, Sal Frangipane, Michelle Dougherty, Dr. Dan Haggerty, John McGill, Dr. Kim Pavlick, Daniele Salvadeo, Emily Hara-
sym, Martha Triano and Dr. Charlie Pinches.

The desire to answer the ques-
tion What if? is one of the mo-
tors that powers the machine of
fiction, andinhisbig, funnymess
of anovel, SacreBleu: ACome-
dy dArte, Christopher Moore
proves once again that his story-
telling engine is well-tuned. If
youreaMoorefan, youll recog-
nize in this, his fourteenth novel,
the familiar mixof wackyweird-
ness, fact, imagination, andbaw-
diness found in Fool, Moores
riff on Shakespeares King
Lear, and Lamb, which pur-
ports to be the story of Christ
from the point of view of his
childhood buddy, Biff. But
Sacre Bleu is a horse of a dif-
ferent color: a historical comedy.
This is a storyabout the color
blue, Moore tells us inhis open-
ingsentence, andindeedit is, but
mixed into the rare pigment of
this particular shade is a story
about art, obsession, love, mem-
ory, sacrificeandmystery. Well, I
saidit was messy, right? Some of
the books messiness stems from
the fact that Moore hops about in
time like a crazed kangaroo. Al-
though set primarily in Paris
from about 1863 to 1891, where
Sacre Bleu draws us into the
meticulously recreated period
when the Impressionists flour-
ished, it also goes back to the
dawn of human history and for-
wardtothepresent year, withnu-
merous stops along the way.
Most of the Impressionist art-
ists appear as either supporting
players or in cameo roles. One,
however Henri Toulouse-Lau-
trecsharestopbillingwiththree
entirely fictional stars. Henri
teams up with his friend and the
books protagonist, Lucien Les-
sard, a baker andaspiringpainter
living in Montmartre, to unravel
the mystery of the Colorman, a
twisted little man in brown, and
his companion. Ill call her Ju-
liette, since this is the name by
whichLucienknows her, but she
appearsinmanyguises. TheCol-
orman, whosays his first nameis
The, is, despite his frequent
funnyremarks, anominous pres-
ence who makes the Sacre Bleu
and sells it to the artists, but at a
terrible cost.
The What if? that drives the
story centers around the death of
Vincent Van Gogh. History tells
us that Van Gogh shot himself in
a field outside of Auvers, then
walked several miles to get help
fromhis doctor before succumb-
ingtohiswounds. ToMoore, this
doesnt make sense, and we can
almost hear him saying: Yeah,
but what if VanGoghwasshot by
someone else? Moore answers
his questionbyhavingtheColor-
man appear and accidentally fire
the fatal shot.
As Henri and Lucien follow
the clues, they are drawn into a
world where time often stands
still and nothing is as it seems.
The plot becomes more intrigu-
ing when the two discover that
Luciens beloved Juliette is also
Henris favorite model, a laun-
dress named Carmen Gaudin.
Her story, alongwithher connec-
tion to the Colorman, is eventu-
allyrevealedperhapsmorethan
it needs to be, since we soon
guess that she is a muse. Never-
theless, its impossible not to get
caught up in the suspense as we
wonder whether the two friends
will unravel the mystery before
the Colorman can destroy them.
Sacre Bleu, however, rises
above the level of a mere detec-
tive story and becomes, at times,
aseriousmeditationonthepower
and origins of the shade of blue
onceusedexclusivelytocolorthe
Virgin Marys cloak (hence its
name). Its also a carefully re-
searched love letter to the Im-
pressionists, completewithcolor
reproductions of their work.
Moore also uses the character of
Juliette to provide us with his
own take on how these great
paintings were made. But if you
try to read Sacre Bleu like an
art historian, ferretingout anach-
ronisms and errors of fact, youll
bemissingthepoint. Fictionmay
beginwithfact, or be basedonit,
but what mattersishowthewriter
transmutes fact into art, and in
Moores case, fun, since Sacre
Bleu is first and foremost a
comedy.
Here is anexample of Moores
wit: Henri and Lucien are chat-
tinginthebakery, andHenri says
that he is perplexed by the fact
that his maid quit on the spot
when he emerged from his bed-
roomnaked as a jaybird.
I assume you were wearing
your hat? Lucien asks.
Of course,Henri answers in-
dignantly. What do you think I
am, some philistine?
Jokes like this one abound in
Sacre Bleu, as do wonderful
and often comic portraits of peo-
ple. Describingtheeccentricpro-
fessor, Emile Bastard, whoeven-
tually uses hypnosis to help Lu-
cien recover his lost memories,
Moore writes: The Professeur
was a very tall man his thin,
aquilineaspect put oneinmindof
a tweedy wading bird of some
sort, an academically inclined
egret, perhaps.
Its writing like this that makes
Moore a joy to read, and Sacre
Bleu is his best and most ambi-
tious novel to date. Despite its
messiness, reading Sacre Bleu
wont make you feel blue.

CLARKS SUMMIT- Anyone
wishing to knowthe value of a
family treasure is invited to
bring it to the upcoming Sixth
Annual Craft and Flea Market.
The event, to be held June 2,
from8 to 2 p.m., at the Clarks
Summit Fire House, 321Bed-
ford Street, will feature David
Flynn, owner of The Atomic
Dustbin.
Flynn buys and sells antiques
and vintage rare items and col-
lectibles at his business, located
at 1434 N. Main Ave., Scranton.
At the event, he will provide

estimate. One family treasure
per person will be allowed. He

for sale, including a1800s Con-
certina, Fenton milk glass, small
art and sculpture, beer signage
and vintage toys.
He noted a fewantique and
collectible items popular now:
vintage signage, military items
such as bayonets and uniforms
and vintage and old metal toys.
Its a lot like what you see on
television, with these new
shows on the History Chan-
nel Its a little like Storage
Wars or the auction shows that
are on TV, because I go to three
or four auctions per week, said
Flynn. He is a collector by na-
ture, who founded his business
in August 2011out of his love
for history and antiques.
One of the nice things about
my shop is that you never know
what is here day to day because
the inventory changes daily, he
said.
Prior to opening his business,
Flynn was a paramedic and his
wife, Roberta, was a volunteer
firefighter and EMTfor Clarks
Summit, Station 4.
The fire company market
place will also feature antique
dealers, an Avon representative,
handicrafts, vintage jewelry,

of everything, including garage
sale items.

ment.
Its the 60th year anniversary

ning of the fire companys 100th
(anniversary), said Karyn Be-
vard, auxiliary president.
He (David S. Flynn) has
offered to help us by providing
us with something different an
Antique Road Showtype of
service. Alot of people will
come to the event and find
something, but they dont know
what it (the item) is worth.
Bring something fromhome
one itemper customer and hell
put a value on it, said Gayle
Snell, publicity coordinator for
the event.
Alice Fritch is chairperson of

SCOTT TWP- Lake-
land defeated Riverside,
6-0, in a District 2 Class
AA softball first round
matchup.
Alissa Steier led the
Lady Chiefs both on the
mound and at the plate.
Steier hit three doubles,
drove in two runs and
allowed just four hits
over seven innings.
Shes been hot lately,
Lakeland head coach
Brian Wagner said. She
was batting in the six
hole, and then our catch-
er (Lauren Terpak) got
sick one day so I moved
her (Steier) to the four
spot. Ever since then
shes been on fire.
Lakeland took a 2-0
lead in the first inning
when Steier drove in two
runs with her first dou-
ble of the game. The
Lady Chiefs struck for
two more runs in the
bottom of the second.
Dana Prudente drove in
a run during the rally.
Lakelands Allison Kra-
ky knocked in a run in
the bottom of the fifth
and later scored on a
wild pitch to give the
Lady Chiefs a 6-0 lead.
The first three batters
in the Lady Chiefs li-
neup Sam Amorine, Pru-
dente and Allison Kraky
each contributed two
hits.
That worked out great
especially since its been
the bottom of the order
that has been getting us
started, Wagner said.
To have those top four
batters hit makes it that
much easier to coach.
Ashley Buffton, Va-
nessa Schab, Abbey

berry provided the base
hits for the Lady Vik-
ings.

TWP.- After
trailing by
four runs
early, the
Lakeland
Chiefs base-
ball team
rallied to ad-
vance to the
quarterfinals in the district
playoffs.
The Chiefs scored 10
straight runs after the early
deficit to secure a 10-5 victory
over Northwest Area.
No one put themselves
down when they made a mis-
take, junior Eric Grabowski
said. They kept their heads
up, put the bat on the ball and
got hits when we needed to.
Grabowski pitched a com-
plete game for the Chiefs and
earned the victory. Despite the
victory, Grabowski had a sha-
ky start. He hit the first batter
he faced and threw a passed
ball to the next batter, allow-
ing the runner to advance into
scoring position.
I wasnt hitting my spots
early in the game, Grabowski
said. I tried to let them make
contact so my defense could
make plays for me.
Lakeland recorded two outs
in the inning while allowing
one run, but couldnt get the
third out until Northwest
scored three more runs, giving
the Rangers a commanding
4-0 lead in the first inning.
Lakeland had opportunities
to cut into the four-run deficit
in the first two innings, but
junior Cody Delfino struck
out with a man stranded on
third in the first and the Rang-
ers threw sophomore Chris
Roche out at the plate in the
second.
In the third inning, Delfino
redeemed himself and hit a
single to center with a man on
third to give the Chiefs their
first run of the game. A few
batters later, freshman Shane
Rivenburgh smacked a single
into left field to cut Lake-
lands deficit to 4-2.
Senior Alex Filarsky started
a two-out rally in the fourth
inning with a single to left
field. Grabowski followed up
the single with a two-run shot
to left field that tied the game
at four.
He likes those kind of
moments, Lakeland coach
Larry Piccini said. He
stepped up and made a play
for us.
After junior Tyler Brady
reached first on an error, Del-
fino delivered another RBI
single to give the Chiefs a 5-4
lead.
Lakeland extended its lead
in the fifth when Filarsky
cracked his third hit of the
game over the head of the
third baseman to give the
Chiefs a 7-4 advantage. Brady
then crushed a home run to
right center giving the Chiefs
a 9-4 lead. Sophomore James
Blevins capped off the inning
with an RBI triple.
During the offensive on-
slaught, Grabowski and the
Lakeland defense didnt allow
a run for five innings. Gra-
bowski settled in striking out
four batters and retiring the
side twice.

FACTORYVILLE- Abig
second inning for Wyoming
Seminary seemed to have Lack-
awanna Trail on the ropes early,
but the top-seeded Lions re-
fused to give up.
In a game dominated by two
explosive offenses, Lackawanna
Trail defeated Wyoming Semi-
nary16 - 12 in the District 2
Class Abaseball semifinals
May 25 to advance to the Dis-
trict 2 championship game.
I give my guys credit for
staying with our game plan,
Lackawanna Trail head coach
Todd Peters said. Thats not
typically howwe like to play the
game, but offensively they
stayed with it and came through
with some big hits.
Trail faced trouble early.
After the Lions took a1- 0 lead
in the first inning, Wyoming
Seminary scored six runs on six
hits in the second. Senior Bob-
by Polachek drove in two runs
on a single for the Blue
Knights. Polachek ended the
game with four hits, three runs
and two RBIs.
Wyoming Seminarys big
inning forced senior starting
pitcher Stephen Miller off the
mound early. Miller allowed
eight hits and six runs in1.2
innings. Miller remained in the
game at first base, where he
recorded four hits and three
RBIs.
I give credit to Wyoming
Seminary, Peters said. They
got pitches to hit and they hit
them. Sometimes its just not
your day as a pitcher[but] he
[Stephen] came in, he got a big
hit for us. I applaud himfor
staying focused.
The Lions started to cut into
the lead immediately, scoring
four runs in the bottomof the
second inning. Asingle by
Miller scored two runs.
Senior Matt Aten, who
pitched for Trail in relief of
Miller, helped prevent offensive
explosion fromthe Blue
Knights. Wyoming Seminary
would not score more than three
runs in an inning after their
six-run second inning. In five
innings of work, Aten allowed
eight hits and eight runs and
recorded the win.
Sometimes you have your
ups and your downs, Aten said,
concerning his early relief ap-
pearance. But a win is a win
I still have all the confidence in
the world in Steve.
Trail retook the lead in the
fourth off a two-RBI single by
senior Bruce Benko and ended
the inning ahead 8 7. Wyom-
ing Seminary surged back in the
fifth thanks to a three-RBI
double fromjunior Craig Sku-
dalski, giving the Blue Knights
a10 7 lead.
The Lions took the lead for
Trail outslugs Wyoming Seminary
Lackawanna Trails Stephen Miller delivered four hits and three RBIs in
the Lions 16-12 win over Wyoming Seminary May 25.

Thursday in the District 2
Class AA boys tennis dou-

Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre.
Cognetti-Temperton won
the district championship
with a 6-1, 6-4 victory in a
rematch of last years title
match.
A year ago, Parkhurst-

ed team from Scranton Prep
in a two-set match that in-
cluded a tiebreaker in the
second set.
This time, Cognetti-Tem-
perton came in as the sec-
ond seed but completed a
tournament that included
four straight victories in
straight sets.
Cognetti-Temperton lost
just four games in six sets
before the final. Those wins
included a 6-1, 6-0 romp
over Christopher Kim-Willie
Lu, the third-seeded team
from Wyoming Seminary, in
the semifinals earlier Thurs-
day.
The win put Cognetti-
Temperton in the Pennsylva-
nia Interscholastic Athletic

According to Walter Dietz,
Regional Outreach &Educa-
tion Coordinator, PAFish
and Boat Commission Bu-
reau of Boating and Ou-
treach, every year the com-
mission raises and releases
plenty of big trout for anglers
to catch.
Thats what keeps trout
season fun and interesting
the mystery of fishing and
not knowing what youll
catch, howbig it will be or
howmany you will get each
time you head out to the local
trout waterway, he said.
Having proper bail can
increase your chances of
catching a trout.
Stocked trout are general-
ly pretty cooperative at biting
on a variety of lures and
natural baits, Dietz said.
Some popular local fishing
spots are Aylesworth Creek
Lake, Lake Eston Wilson,
Gardner Creek, Lackawanna
Lake, Lackawanna River,
Lehigh River, Merli-Sarnoski
Park Lake, South Branch
Tunkhannock Creek, Roar-
ing Brook and West Branch

opportunity to race in the Super
Cup Stock Car Series (SCSCS)
for Team LaCross Motorsports
out of Cortland, N.Y.
The race would be the first
for Tunney in a National Tour-
ing Series. The races will be
tape delayed and broadcasted
to approximately 55 million
homes Saturday nights at 8
p.m. on Untamed Sports TV.
The races will also be replayed
five more times the following
week.
I look forward to racing
with LaCross Motorsports in
the SCSCS this year, said
Tunney. This will be a huge
opportunity to advance my
racing career.
Tunney started the year out
on a good note a few weeks
ago at Bethel Motor Speedway
in White Lake, N.Y. with a top
ten finish that boosted team
moral and helped to attract
additional sponsorship for the
year.
Thats what is keeping me
racing, says Tunney. Without
my sponsors, I would not be
having fun racing every week
like I am.

oping events and the most

they could have all addresses
changed to a last line of Wa-
verly Township. All locations
within the municipality are
listed with house and street
numbers, assigned by the
appropriate post office. .
All buildings with home
delivery are serviced by either
the Dalton (18414) or Clarks
Summit (18411) post office.
Some residents maintain
post office boxes at the Wa-
verly (18471) post office.
STATE OF EMERGENCY
We are requesting a desig-
nation of Waverly Township
for all locations within our
township to provide the Lack-
awanna County Communi-
cations Center with the proper
municipality and location
when receiving a request for
emergency service, White
said. According to White,
when a landline phone is used
to call 911, the call rings at the
Communication Center with
an alley and an annie.
Alley is the location and an-
nie, the number system.
The emergency message
appears on the computer
screen based upon the phone
number and the corresponding
address from the phone com-
pany, with the address and
municipality if those items are
included in the address. For
Waverly Township, it appears
as either Clarks Summit or
Dalton.
We had many problems,
especially in the case of a fire
or ambulance call, where the
dispatch was delayed because
they didnt know which fire
company or ambulance to
send, White said.
For example, in the Clarks
Summit mailing address there
are four or five Maple ad-
dresses (street, road, drive).
There are even some numbers
that are the same. Residents
with a Clarks Summit mailing
address can be located in Wa-
verly, Clarks Green, Clarks
Summit, Newton Township,
South Abington Township,
Glenburn Township or Scott
Township.
This is a nightmare and
one of the reasons the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security
wanted the municipality as the
last line in the address, said
White.
According to White, the
township had been working
with the post office and they
seemed to be in agreement
about featuring the municipal-
ity in the last line of the ad-
dress. He said the Clarks
Summit and Dalton postmas-
ters were enthusiastic be-
cause it made their job eas-
ier, especially in the Clarks
Summit zip code where many
duplicate names exist.
White said the township
received a call from Shen-
berger requesting the town-
ships address information in
December 2010. Throughout
2010, the township sent a
letter to all residents request-
ing them to start using Wa-
verly Township instead of
Clarks Summit or Dalton as
the last address line.
All of a sudden, we got
notified that people were not
getting their mail, White
said.
USPS
CORRESPONDENCE
The township sent another
letter to Shenberger in Jan.
2011, with information from
the former director of the
Lackawanna County Emer-
gency Operations Center,
Thomas Dubas.
White read excerpts of that
letter: We have experienced
numerous incidents involving
the dispatching of emergency
services within our area that
have resulted in delayed re-
sponses due to confusion with
determining which municipal-
ity the emergency is occur-
ring.... The name of the mu-
nicipality in the third line of
the mailing address is ex-
tremely important to the com-
munications center to deter-
mine the location of the emer-
gency.
On April 15, 2011, the town-
ship received a letter from the
U.S. Postal Service denying
the request to use Waverly
Township as a preferred last
line for delivery offices. The
reason for this denial, White
said, was because two post
offices, Clarks Summit and
Dalton, cover the delivery area
in Waverly Township. Last
lines exist for the purpose of
processing mail rather than
for assessing taxes or insur-
ance premiums or to direct
emergency services to a cus-
tomers location, according to
the USPS.
According to White, many
other municipalities in Lacka-
wanna County have already
been approved for a last line
in the mailing address. Exam-
ples include Scott Township,
S. Abington Twp., Jefferson
Twp., Mayfield and Blakely.
These municipalities dont
have their own individual post
office, but share a zip code
with a number of other mu-
nicipalities receiving the mail
out of the same post office.
TAXING PROBLEMS
White said there are many
problems caused by the cur-
rent system, including wage
tax collection and emergency
response time.
If you live in Waverly
Township and list Clarks
Summit as your address, all
your earned income tax is sent
to Clarks Summit, White
said. Sixty-five percent of
Waverly Townships income
comes from earned income
tax and the collection is based
upon your address. Wage tax
collection is adversely affect-
ed because employers forward
withheld taxes to the munici-
pality named as the taxpayers
address. The only way to
quickly identify where a spe-
cific address is physically
located is by the name of the
municipality. The city namein
the address plays a very im-
portant role in people know-
ing in which municipality they
live.
The difficulty is quickly
identifying a location if the
municipality is not in the ad-
dress, White said. This has
caused very serious and some-
times deadly delays in emer-
gency responses in our area.
After the township was
informed that the change
could not be done because of
the use of multiple zip codes,
White directed township so-
licitor Andrew Hailstone to
contact the USPS.
The township disputes the
reasoning of the district man-
ager of the USPS Central PA
District about the limited
number of zip codes that
share a preferred last name
with another office, Hail-
stone said. In the immediate
vicinity of Waverly Township,
there are five municipalities
with a preferred last line that
may be used in more than one
zip code (Scott Township,
Clifford Township, Roaring
Brook Township, Covington
Township and Nicholson).
Even Dalton, which is one of
the zip codes that includes a
portion of Waverly Township
in its delivery area, allows
Scott Township or Scott Twp.
to be used as a city name,
Hailstone added.
In January 2012, North
Abington Township requested
and was granted use of their
township as a preferred last
line of the mailing address.
An appeal by Waverly Town-
ship as a preferred last name
for two post offices was de-
nied, based on feedback from
post offices that share mailing
names. Elizabeth Schafer,
Assistant Treasurer of Bank
Relations at the United States
Postal Service, explained, We
understand the desire to have
a separate identity from
Clarks Summit (18411) and
Dalton (18414), but new zip
codes are issued only when
there is an operational benefit
to the USPS.
Hailstone countered that the
township never requested a
zip code change, but has not
received a response from the
USPS since March 2012.
ADDRESS
Timeline of Events
February, 2009 - Waverly Township first approached the U.S.
post office about changing addresses for residents.
December, 2010- Township Manager Bill White said the
township received a call from Carol Shenberger with the
United States Postal Service Address Management Systems
requesting the townships address information.
Throughout 2010- Waverly Township sent a letter to all
residents in the municipality requesting them to begin using
Waverly Township (18411) instead of Clarks Summit (18411)
or Dalton (18414) in their mailing address.
January, 2011- Waverly township sent a second letter to
Shenberger with information from the former director of the
Lackawanna County Emergency Operations Center, Thomas
Dubas.
April, 2011- Waverly Township received a letter from the U.S.
Postal Service denying the request to use Waverly Township
as a preferred last line for delivery offices.
January, 2012- North Abington Township requested and was
granted use of their township as a preferred last line of the
mailing address.
efficient and effective aca-
demic administration.
Of course, he continued,
we have always fully rec-
ognized our legal obliga-
tions to negotiate over the
impact of moving in that
direction, including any
issues surrounding potential
changes in bargaining unit
work.
Friedman said the concept
spurred the faculty to a 160
to 27 vote, which ended via
electronic ballot April 13, to
adopt a strict work to rule,
or minimal compliance
status in meeting contrac-
tual obligations. He said this
means the union members
agree to temporarily uphold
all mandatory duties out-
lined in the Faculty Hand-
book, but refrain from all
duties not contractually
mandatory, as a method of
pressuring administration
to agree with faculty terms
for the new contract.
According to the councils
statement, the New Depart-
ment Chair Concept also
provoked numerous letters
of protest, a boycott of the
universitys Faculty Appre-
ciation Dinner March 30
and a pledge signed by 216
faculty members, stating
they will not accept an ap-
pointment to the department
chair position if it is not
included in the collective
bargaining unit represented
by the Faculty Affairs
Council.
Zygmunt declined to com-
ment on the status of nego-
tiations and related union
actions.
Jody DeRitter, of Clarks
Summit, a signer of the
pledge and longtime depart-
ment chairperson who has
been with the university for
20 years, said of the con-
cept, I think its a terrible
idea.
He explained that al-
though the first thing to
come to mind for many
when they hear the word
union is disputes over pay,
the issue at hand is differ-
ent. This is not about mon-
ey, he said. This is about
the atmosphere of the
place.
He said he believes the
faculty, the people who
teach in the classrooms, are
the people who best know
the classrooms and therefore
should be the ones making
decisions regarding them.
Terrence Sweeney, of
Clarks Summit, a 20-year
professor in the universitys
biology department and
member of the faculty
unions contract negotiations
Table Team, said, Unlike
many other organizations, a
university is comprised in
part of employeesfacul-
tywho are specifically
and highly trained in a di-
versity of disciplines...Our
primary responsibility is to
determine how best to train
students in each of those
disciplines.
Since the knowledge and
know-how come from the
faculty rather than...the uni-
versity administration, he
continued, the faculty must
play a special role in guid-
ing the process of how we
best educate our students.
He said the New Depart-
ment Chair Concept would
turn that concept on its
head, giving the adminis-
tration the power to dic-
tate how to carry out the
universitys mission of edu-
cation.
Essentially, Sweeney
said, the issue comes down
to a matter of governance in
charting the academic direc-
tion of the university.
Friedman said the uni-
versitys Faculty Senate re-
cently voted 25 to 0 to call
upon first-year President
Rev. Kevin Quinn to recon-
sider the concept. Friedman
said it violates the principal
of shared governance,
which he defined as the
process by which the mem-
bers of a university commu-
nity share the responsibility
for reaching decisions on
matters of policy and proce-
dure.
The Department Chair
Concept violates the princi-
pal of shared governance,
Friedman said, because the
university announced its
intention to implement it
without any prior consulta-
tion with the faculty, and
has thus far refused to alter
its decision despite strong
and widespread objections
from the faculty.
Zygmunt said, Our facul-
ty have had, and will contin-
ue to have, a strong voice in
the life of the university
through robust shared gov-
ernance. We are immensely
proud of our faculty and
their deep commitment to
our students. Disagreements
at the bargaining table will
not diminish that pride.
Friedman said Quinn re-
cently requested a meeting
with the Faculty Senates
Executive Committee for
further consideration of the
concept, but has not yet
indicated any intention of
backing down.
FAC (Faculty Affairs
Council) sincerely hopes
that this meeting will take
place, he said, and that it
will convince Fr. Quinn to
withdraw the concept.
