Ron Stacknick, Dalton Fire
Chief and 10 to 12 members
of the Dalton Fire Company
had a busy week following
Hurricane Sandy.
For more than 72 hours, the
companys team responded to
storm -related emergencies
and calls, including going
door-to-door to check on resi-
dents to be sure they had sup-
plies such as water, ice and
electricity to run medical
equipment; making sure that
generators were being used
properly, manning a warming
stationed supplied by the
American Red Cross, along
with the fire companys auxil-
iary and transporting a family
to nearby relatives after their
home was damaged by a fall-
en tree.
Our main role in those
situations is hazard control
and safety, said Stacknick,
and although there was not
much more damage than he
and members of the company
are accustomed to dealing
with following a major storm.
He explained, We anticipated
a lot more damage, but there
was really not that much more
damage than were used to in
the area - its just that the
things that were damaged
were critical. There was a
combination of things as al-
ways
The fire company initially
responded to several emergen-
cies at the height of the storm
trees down and trees down
on wires, and in the latter part
of the storm recovery. In the
last few days, he said, we did
deal with some medical is-
sues, specifically people had

KINDNESS
to count on
Editors Note: In
selecting the
recipient of the
annual Lifetime of
Service Award, The
Abington Journal
editorial board
attempts to choose
a person in the
community who
illustrates the late
R. Matthew Burne,
in whose honor the
award is named.
When we ap-
proached the
family of our first
honoree R. Mat-
thew Burne in
2007 with the
announcement of a
posthumous dedi-
cation for the
Lifetime of Service
Award, they reac-
ted with the gene-
rosity illustrated
throughout his life
by offering to
donate in his
memory to a
charity to which he
was dedicated.
Every year since,
they have offered
Lifetime of Service
honorees that
same ability.

CLARKS SUMMIT - At
the Borough of Clarks
Summit Council work ses-
sion Oct. 30, Council mem-
ber Herman Johnson in-
troduced an idea for a pro-
ject to repair every road in
the borough by acquiring a
$1.5 million loan, to be
repaid with the liquid fuels
tax funds.
Johnson said the idea
began to form a few
months ago when members
of the finance committee
spoke of the need to find
new ways to save and bring
in money to the borough.
I went home and I
looked at the liquid fuel
taxes, he said, and I said
to myself, Well, we get so
much every year from liq-
uid fuel. Then I went out
and I surveyed the borough
to see how many streets
actually need to be black-
topped. And then I came
back and I talked with the
borough manager, Virginia
Kehoe, and I spoke with
Bob Naegele, the borough
engineer, and we went and
we surveyed every street in
the borough and...prior-
itized them.
Kehoe presented a chart
which showed the life ex-
pectancy of each of those
roads. She said more than
half of the roads in the
borough were determined
to have a life expectancy of
less than 10 years.
Johnson explained the
project would work to pre-
serve the roads that do not
yet need paving, and mill
and pave all roads that are
in need of it. He said work
will include storm water
improvements.
Liquid fuels funds, which
Johnson said total more
than $100,000 per year, are
already being

Michael McGoff, the fea-
tured artist for this months
Second Friday Art Walk
offered suggestions
for eventgoers.
Try to keep an
open mind. You
might scratch your
head and wonder what
its all about, but you need
to keep coming back to it a
few times to get it. It happens to me, too. Art
is meant to create a reaction in people.
McGoffs work will be featured at the
Abington Financial Group office of Jamie
Kresge, 120 S. State St.
The Scranton native and
current Moscow resident has
been creating pottery since
1982. He took his first
pottery class while at
Marywood Uni-
versity where he
studied art education.
McGoff said he took
the course only because
it was a requirement, but
after that, he fell in love

whichinclude the township, neighbors andDeuerleins

RansomZoningOfficer BobLukasiewicz cited
Deuerlein15times for allegedlyrunningtwoillegal

fines plus court costs.
He was fixingcomputers andelectrical equipment in

S. ABINGTONTWP.- The
main topic of the Nov. 1meeting
of the Abington Council of
Governments, held at the South
Abington Borough Building,
was a commuter tax the city of
Scranton wishes to levy. The
council invited three speakers to
address the issue.
Al Chelik, mayor of Mayfield
Borough and member of STOP
(Scranton Taxing Our People)
said that STOPis comprised of
31communities willing to take
Scranton to court over the 2
percent tax. STOPsent out reso-
lutions to local governments to
express their opposition.
I hope we all have the dedi-
cation and are prepared for a
fight, Chelik said. We have to
hold political leaders account-
able. He mentioned a hearing
on the tax Dec. 10 at 9:30 a.m.
He said the greatest needs
STOPhas are legal advice and
funding. The groups website,
www.STOPscranton.com
should be online by Nov. 7, said
Chelik, as well as a Twitter,
Facebook and Paypal account
for those wishing to donate.
Next up was attorney and
supervisor of Scott Township,
Mike Giannetta, part of the legal
teamthat fought the last com-
muter tax in the1990s.
It was a lot of work, but it
was successful, he said.
The tax was ruled against by
local judges then and even
though their decision against the
tax was repealed by the Com-
monwealth Court, Scranton
chose not to pursue the tax.
According to the law, Scranton
can only charge a commuter tax
if they are classified as a dis-
tressed city that has exhausted
other methods of creating reve-
nue. Giannetta mentioned that
commuters already pay parking
fees, the municipal services tax,
as well patronizing Scranton
restaurants for their meals.
This tax can be beat, he said,
citing the past. He said that the
arguments used then are valid
now, The city didnt need it and
it was unfair. He advised them
to engage the community.
Gary Lewis, on the legal com-
mittee of STOPand consultant
specializing in Distressed As-
sets, is conducting extensive
research on Scrantons budget
and revenue. His work has been
published in the NewYork
Times and other publications.
His five- year tax revenue analy-
sis stated, The citys 2012 mil-
lage rate is currently 93.75 per-
cent of the 2010 rate, but bud-
geted revenue is at an all- time
high. This indicates a substantial
shift in the basis used to calcu-
late real estate tax revenue. The
handout stated that Scrantons
budgeted revenues for 2012
have increased by 9 percent over
2011budgeted revenues. He
stated that the budget did not
seemto adjust for changes in
population, which has de-
creased. More information
about his research on Scrantons
budget and financial situation
can be found on Lewis website,

CLARKS SUMMIT-
Since 2008, four United
Methodist churches -New-
ton, Ransom, Milwaukee
and Schultzville - dreamed
of one day coming together
to forma unified congrega-
tion.
For four years, they orga-
nized themselves as the
Vision Forward move-
ment and conducted work-
shops to develop a new
church building. After a
successful, three-year, fi-
nancial capital campaign,
which raised more than
$600,000 and a17-acre land
donation made by Keith
Eckel of Eckel Farms, con-
struction of the newchurch
building is complete. It is
called Countryside Com-
munity Church.
Its a labor of love, said
Donna Urbaniak, chair-
person of the trustees and
Ransomresident. This
building is going to allowus
to fulfill our mission state-
ment, which is to develop
hearts for God in a spirit-
filled community and to
spread Gods love and grace
throughout the world.
Built on a hill along Or-
chard Drive in Newton Twp,
the church offers views of
Bald Mountain and the
surrounding countryside. It
was crafted with site work
by individuals wanting to
assist in the churchs mis-
sion.
In the past four years,
Countryside Community
Church sold three of the
four member church build-
ings and one parsonage and
moved into the former New-
ton United Methodist
Church until the newbuild-
ing was completed. Con-
struction began in Fall, 2011
and continued throughout
the end of 2011until the
sanctuarys completion in
August, 2012.
Our mission was to build
a building, and we accom-
plished that, and we contin-
ue to build the church, said
Warren Raker, trustee and
church member fromSouth
Abington Township.
Church conducted its first
service in the newbuilding
Sept. 2 with more than160
people in attendance.
I think the most impor-
tant thing, just like we hope,
is seeing newpeople. And
we have seen a significant
increase and are looking for
more, said Keith Eckel.
The church employs the
latest in energy saving and
user-friendly equipment. A
stained-glass window, origi-
nally fromRansoms church
is prominent in the service
room, which features TV
monitors for the choir fac-
ing the opposite side of the
tabernacles.
Achapel wing, donated
by church member Ed Carr,
includes a prayer wall,
where people can write their
prayer requests. The main
entrance features an over-
head canopy for inclement
weather.
Church member Ron
Imdorf mentioned that
members shared suggesti-
ons for the church in the
planning stages.
Our church is very active
under the leadership of our
pastor, Rev. Dr. Jean Pierre
Duncan, in providing mis-
sion support, ministries that
enrich our lives through
prayer and educational
groups, outreach programs,
outstanding music and fel-
lowship rich fun(d)rais-
ers, said Imdorf. In the
process of completion are a
basement social hall, Sun-
day school classrooms and
choir rooms. On Nov. 3,
more than 30 volunteers
unloaded two tractor trailers
of items for the basement
social hall. The hall will be
used for the churchs turkey
dinner, normally hosted in
mid-October but was post-
poned to April 13.
We have a lot of mission
work going on and new
groups being formed.
Theres a lot happening,
said Falls Twp resident
Karen Rickaby, treasurer/
secretary of the church,
Church invites the public to
share in the Spirit-led mis-
sion in Northeastern Pa..
Sunday school takes place at
9 a.m. with service at 10
a.m. For more information,
go to www.countryside-
church.org. An Open House
is in the works.
Said Pastor Jean-Pierre
Duncan. Were blessed by
many strong leaders, vision-
aries and faithful believers,
who really want the church
to be a model of the king-
domof God. Thats our
vision.

Children kicked and punched
their way to the rank of Yellow
Belt at Clarks Green Tae Kwon
Do Oct. 12. Not unlike many
other schools of martial arts,
parents looked on with pride as
16 children broke wood, per-
formed their techniques and
demonstrated self-defense
skills. Pictures were snapped,
and laughter was heard just as
much as the spirit yells called
Ki-Haps. While the scene was
familiar, there is something
unique about this program,
according to its organizers.
While most schools begin as
commercial endeavors or hob-
bies, this one sprung up as an
outreach to the community. The
teacher, who holds instructor
level black belt rank in three
Korean arts, also happens to be
the pastor of Clarks Green
United Methodist Church,
where the classes are held.
With bullying such an issue for
children today, this outreach
strives to build up participants
in a way that instills assurance,
esteemand values, according to
Pastor Brent Stouffer of Clarks
Green United Methodist
Church, 119 Glenburn Road.
The schools motivation is
also reflected in its attitude
toward tuition. Classes cost a
suggested donation of $5 per
week. However, if this is not
manageable, people are invited
anyway. For details, contact the
church at 570.586.8946.

Magisterial District Judge James A.
Gibbons, who presides at 104 Shady
Lane Road, Chinchilla was again certi-
fied for service as a member of Penn-
sylvanias Unified Judicial System after
successful completion recently of con-
tinuing legal education coursework.
Conducted by the Minor Judiciary Edu-
cation Board (MJEB) and the Adminis-
trative Office of Pennsylvania Courts
(AOPC), the educational program for
Magisterial District Judges is held in
Harrisburg.
The weeklong instructional program is
designed to ensure that Magisterial Dis-
trict Judges remain current in a variety
of legal topics and management tech-
niques required to fairly adjudicate cases
and effectively supervise a district court
office.
Continuing education course work is
required by statute of each of the more
than 500 Pennsylvania Magisterial Dis-
trict Judges, with approximately 50
Magisterial District Judges attending
one of 13 such classes at some time
during each academic year.
Magisterial District Judges represent
the grassroots level of Pennsylvanias
judicial system. In counties other than
Philadelphia, District Judges have juris-
diction over summary criminal and mo-
tor vehicle cases; landlord/tenant matters
and other civil actions where the amount
claimed does not exceed $12,000.

Some of you
might have
just cocked
your heads to
the side like an
old- fashioned cartoon when you
saw the word Deviant.
A Deviant is a nickname for
someone who uses the art website
DeviantART.com. This website is
used around the world for artists
of all ages to get some recog-
nition and feedback on their art-
work. The website started August
7, 2000, and since July 2011, has
grown to be the 13th largest social
networking website with 3.8 million
visits a week and more than 140,000
artwork submissions everyday.
DeviantART, in its essence, is a
website for anyone who loves art to
display their artwork for the world
to see. Whether you draw, paint,
collage, spray paint, paper-mch or
even make clothing out of candy
wrappers, you can either scan or
take a picture of your work and send
it through the World Wide Web.
When you create an account (which
is free by the way), you can com-

like, add them to a favorites folder
so that you can find the piece again,
keep an online journal and even talk
to other DeviantART users in the
chat rooms. Even if you dont want
to create an account, you can still
browse through the artwork.
Although it is a great website, you
need to be careful if you are putting
your artwork on DeviantART. When
submitting artwork, there are little
option buttons that you can mark to
add a watermark to your artwork
when previewed so people cannot
claim your artwork as their own,
and you can also limit your art-
works audience to DeviantART
users, but only if you check the
boxes. If you dont check these
boxes, there will be a download
button next to your artwork and it
will make it easy for other users to
save your artwork
to their computer
without credit. This
would allow other
users to use your
artwork on any-
thing theyd like
without giving
proper credit, in-
cluding school
projects and other
presentations.
But besides be-
ing careful with the
fine print, Devian-
tART is a great
website for artists
to gather together,
share ideas and
bounce ideas off
one another. Its
also great for dis-
covering new artists and kinds of art
you might not have known were out
there. If you are looking for some
constructive criticism, DeviantART
is the place for you. To make an
account is free, and you do not have
to post any artwork unless you want
to.

The Anime Club at the
Abington Community Library
is a group built on diversity,
with members who thrive on
being different and unique.
They explained they are united
by their common nerd in-
terests, such as anime, manga
and BBCtelevision shows
Doctor Who, Sherlock and
Supernatural.
They are quick to defend
themselves fromstereotypes
and misconceptions such as
anime fans are all freaks and
all manga is inappropriate.
The Anime Club is unique
in their shared interest of anime
and manga, which is unique in
and of itself, said Young Adult
Librarian Sandy Longo. They
are some of the most welcom-
ing and non-judgmental to
newcomers and they are always
willing to introduce and/or
share their favorite anime and
manga with anyone.
The club meets yearround
every Friday at the library from
4 to 6 p.m. and welcomes new-
comers. Members estimated a
regular meeting attendance of
about 10 to15 people and a
Facebook group membership of
32. The atmosphere is laid back
and members talk about their
interests, play games and some-
times watch videos.
The club members are cur-
rently planning an Anime
Mini-Convention, scheduled
for Nov, 17 at the library from6
to 9 p.m. The event, which is
organized by Tiffany Davis, 20,
as a project for college, will
include video games, card
games, movies, an anime art
gallery, Japanese and American
snacks, manga and anime li-
brary display and more.

Special to The Abington Journal
One of the best things for Betsy Pollits,
Paper Magic associate art director, is see-
ing her creations come to life on a really big
scale.
Working for a company, they (pro-
jects) have to evolve and conformto meet
certain requirements but, its
really great to
see some-
thing that you
were a huge
part of come
to life on the
store shelves
of a national
retail chain,
Pollits said.
Also, I get to
work with a
really great
group of talented
folks that love making
products, have a passion for
creating and are just great people.
Pollits has great fun with projects at Paper
Magic in Moosic, that we, as consumers,
enjoy during celebrations throughout the
year the Christmas cards exchanged, gift
tags on presents under the tree, and the
Valentines we give our friends.
Our products are there when families are
together and times with loved ones are be-
ing enjoyed. It is during that time that me-
mories are being created and our products
aid in celebrations throughout the year.
She is responsible for the entire creative
process for a given product line.
We do a line of Valentines every year
called studio 2/14. That one is really fun as
the teamworks together to come up with the
themes and the artwork gets to have the
look and feel that our in-house staff feels is
funThe Stickerfitti line is a relatively
newproduct line for Paper Magic. I have
had the opportunity to work on that since
the beginning and watch it growand
evolve as it gains popularity, she
said.
If you
think you
would like to
be an artist/
art director,
Pollits ad-
vice is to
draw
every day
and practi-
ceas draw-
ing is one of
the best and
quickest ways
to get your
ideas across in this line of work.
She has an Associates Degree in fine art
fromKeystone College in La Plume and a
Bachelors Degree in Communication De-
sign fromKutztown University.
Ive always been an artist, I took art
classes when other kids were playing sports.
I was painting or drawing or making up a
newgame or drawing my own coloring
book, it was always what I did.
Meet Betsy Pollits:
Age: 33
Hometown: Carbondale
Job Title: Associate Art Director, CSS
Industries, Inc.
Favorite subject in school: Phonics,
probably because it was a workbook, you could
draw in it nicely and the cover always had a
good design from year to year.
Favorite artist or genre of art: African
Tribal Art, Renaissance Art, Pop Art, Graffiti Art
Favorite Artists of all time: Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec, Keith Haring, Picasso and
Warhol
Who inspires you in your field? Sam
Brown, he is an illustrator and graphic artist
who runs a web site called
www.explodingdog.com. His drawings are quick
commentaries based on topics that followers
send in, it always makes my day to see what
he is up to next.
When you were a kid, what did you
want to be when you grew up? Ive
wanted to be an art director since I was about
9. There was an ad in The New York Times
Magazine one Sunday for a bathtub convertible
Porsche.
It was parked in central park, the tag line
stated, An art directors dream and once I
figured out what an art director did, I was sold.
Favorite place: The sculpture garden at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with a diet
coke in a glass bottle. They have to have the
soda in the glass bottle, it just makes the visit.
What book would you bring if you
were stranded on the moon? "What do
you do with a Kangaroo?" by Mercer Mayer
Coolest part of your job: Seeing the
product lines that I work on in store shelves
and being enjoyed by the people the products
were intended for.

H
appy Faces Face Painting and
Party Services has been
creating exactly what its
name describes for more than 20
years.
Owners Danielle
and Colin Joyce
tackle face painting,
balloon animals,
spin art, glitter
tattoos and princess
parties. Head artist
Danielle Joyce
trains all the other
face painters in their crew. Some past
and present clients of Happy Faces
are Scranton /Wilkes-Barre Yankees,
Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins,
Wilkes-Barre Scranton Pioneers,
Viewmont Mall, Royal Caribbean
Cruise Lines, Walt Disney World,
Universal Studios, Nickelodeon, Wet
N Wild Water Park, Westgate Vaca-
tion Resorts and many others.
Danielle Joyce shared her thoughts
with The Abington Journal:
AJ: What was the best place/
company where you have worked
and why?
Danielle: The Viewmont Mall
because of all their holiday events.
Also, the Scranton /Wilkes-Barre
Yankees and Pocono Raceway, weve
had a lot of wonderful experiences
with them.
AJ: What is the most fun party
theme you have created or attend-
ed?
Danielle: Recently, I worked a
party that was CandyLand themed.
There were cookies as cupcakes, a
huge CandyLand display, and the
kids wanted candies painted on their
faces. It was very unique and col-
orful.
AJ: What are your favorite bal-
loon animals and face paintings?
Danielle: I love a half-dragon
mask; it takes two minutes and looks
amazing. Anything fast and awe-
some is always a favorite.
For balloon animals, it would be
flowers for girls and parrots for boys.
They love having the parrots on their
shoulders.
AJ:What is the silliest face
painting youve created?
Danielle: Well, a very unique one
I just did was actually on a little girls
hand. She wanted a turkey. We came
up with her spreading her fingers out
and painting the back of her hand,
so her whole hand was a
turkey. Asilly one? I
had a boy ask for
half his face to
be a mon-
ster and
the other
half to be
Hello,
Kitty.
Kids are
so unique
and cre-
ative,
its
great.
AJ:
What
are your
tips for
planning a
dreambirthday
party?
Danielle: Plan in
advance. Decided on
your enter-
tainment
first
be-
cause things always book up quickly.
Also, knowyour details, be orga-
nized. And have more than one activ-
ity for kids; enough entertainment is
always important.
AJ: What was your inspiration
to start your company?
Danielle: Ive been face painting
since I was 15, I always did it for
extra money and I did it through
college as well. Then I moved here
and was about to have a child and I
needed something that would be
flexible and bring in some money.
Its great because I dont have re-
gimented hours, parties are small
amounts of time and I amable
to still be around for
my kids. This
business has
been so
much
more
suc-
cessful than I ever anticipated.
AJ: What is the coolest part of
your job?
Danielle: Its great getting to be a
part of peoples special events. I love
being with kids and helping families
make something special. And at
parties or events everyone is always
in a good mood, so its a fun time. I
just love doing it!

ways wanted what is best for the com-
munity.
When McCabe was discussing
organizations with which she partici-
pates, Abington Community Library
Director Leah Ducato Rudolph joked,
When do you sleep? Tuthill respon-
ded quickly, She doesnt.
Rudolph is thankful for all the sup-
port that she has received from
McCabe.
Ive really enjoyed her mentor-
ship, Rudolph said. She gave all that
she could of herself in any way pos-
sible.
Apeople person
McCabe has been volunteering at
the library for about 43 years. When
asked what she enjoyed most about
spending time there, she gave a quick,
sincere answer.
The people, she said. I used to
say to my husband that Imgoing to
run into the library to drop off a book.
Ill be right back. Hed say, Theres
no such thing as running into the
library for a minute to drop off a book.
You will be gone for an hour because
you always see people you know.
I love that about the library. Weve
grown larger, but still have a sense of
community. I love our area in general
because you cant go to the grocery
store or the library without seeing
someone you know.
McCabe was married to her hus-
band, Bob, for 36 years before he died
in1998. The couple met while em-
ployed at the former International Salt
Company, in Clarks Summit, now
Akzo Nobel, where McCabe worked
for eight years as an executive secre-
tary.
They raised one son, J.R., 46, who
lives in Rockville Centre, N.Y. with
his wife, Anne, and three children,
Jack, 14, Gillian, 11and Ava, 8. J.R., a
graduate of Abington Heights High
School and James Madison Universi-
ty, serves as chief video officer of the
Meredith Corporation.
My husband was very supportive
of me doing whatever I wanted for the
library or any other organization and
my son remembered Wednesday night
was library night, she said. Family
support is so important. When I was
doing more than I do now, I had that
support and it was a big help.
According to McCabe, the support
of her family was a tremendous help
in her volunteer efforts even when her
dedication caused her to miss one of
her sons baseball milestones.
I ran the little league stand for two
years when my son was playing base-
ball, McCabe said. I was at a library
volunteer dinner at (Inn at) Nichols
Village and I received a call that
somebody needed to talk to me on the
phone, she said. The first thing I
said was Whats the matter? My son
was nine and my husband said He
has something to tell you. I asked
Are you OK? And he said Kiss it
goodbye. I missed his first home run
because I was at a library event, but
my son said it was OK.
When Tuthill heard this anecdote,
she added, Nowtheres something I
didnt know. The strength of a com-
munity library is that people make a
commitment and stay with it because
there is satisfaction in doing it.
While the library promotes lifelong
learning, McCabe believes that its
also a great place to foster friendships.
Ive always said the library is
where you make lifelong friendship,
McCabe added. The first person I
worked with on library fundraising
was Esther Friedmann, she said.
Somebody put us together, we dont
even remember who and we went
door to door 40- some years ago and
collected about $1,800. We thought
that was great and weve been friends
ever since.
The current library opened in1992,
thanks to a lot of hard work. Accord-
ing to McCabe, it is a treasure to ev-
eryone who was involved with the
fundraising.
This was a dreamcome true for so
many people who wanted to see it
happen, she said.
Achildrens roomwas added in
2002.
She volunteered at the circulation
desk at the former library starting in
1969.
We all loved it, it wasnt a chore,
McCabe said.
Dedicated to the cause
McCabe thoroughly enjoys her time
volunteering with the United Metho-
dist Homes in Pittston and Tunk-
hannock. She has been giving her
time at Wesley Village in Pittston as
well as Tunkhannock Manor for more
than15 years
I love the interaction with the resi-
dents, she said. One of my friends at
Wesley, a woman in her late 90s, knew
me when I was a one-year -old in
Plymouth.
I sawher one day and she said, I
knewyou and your brother when you
were babies.
In addition, McCabe has been an
active member of the Clarks Green
United Methodist Church for more
than 50 years, as well as the United
Methodist Women.
She has served as the treasurer of
the Clarks Green Cemetery Associ-
ation for close to15 years. McCabe
said Warren Watkins was instrumental
in getting her to volunteer with the
Cemetery Association and United
Methodist Homes.
She served as tax collector for
Clarks Green Borough from1980-
2001.
I worked out of my home, but
people would call or stop by to pay
their bill, McCabe said. I loved it
because I like people very much.
John Crounse, of South Abington
Twp., who serves with McCabe at
Wesley Village, said she is dedicated
to the cause.
She is very committed to the Unit-
ed Methodist Homes, he said.
Through the Friends of the United
Methodist Homes she helps raise
money through the Spring Brunch so
that the senior citizens can have pre-
sents at Christmas.
Tami Chesniak, Activities Director
and Volunteer Coordinator at Wesley
Village, believes McCabes contribu-
tions are invaluable.
She always has the true interests of
the residents at heart, Chesniak said.
She assists with providing exactly
what the residents need through many
different volunteer projects.
Terry White, Activities Director of
Tunkhannock Manor, has been im-
pressed with McCabe commitment to
the residents.
When she dedicates herself to
something, she always puts her best
foot forward, White said. She has
been very unselfish in the giving of
her time and money.
Through volunteerismat the United
Methodist Homes, McCabe came into
contact with Jeanne Gordon, who
organized the Friends of the United
Methodist Homes of Pennsylvania 20
years ago.
She said McCabes vitality stood
out.
She works hard on many of the
volunteer committees that we have,
said Gordon. We met through the
Friends organization. It used to be
called the Homes Guild 20 years ago.
Gordon described the work they do
together through the Friends as sup-
porting the needs of people who re-
side there, whether it be through the
purchase of special footwear or mat-
tresses or organizing fundraisers such
as the Old-Fashioned Christmas at
Wesley Village.
Keith Chadwick, President Emer-
itus and former President/CEOof
United Methodist Homes, worked
with McCabe for many years.
She is very active, engaged and
interested in the quality of life of the
residents, he said. I have had many
board members and Jan was one of
the best."
Committed to service
McCabe was born in Wilkes-Barre,
but lived in Elmira, N.Y. for many
years. She graduated fromElmira
South Side High School and earned
an Associate Degree fromElmira
College. She moved back to North-
eastern Pennsylvania in1958.
According to Tuthill, McCabe is
willing to lend a helping hand at a
moments notice.
Jan can always be counted on to
help her many friends and acquaint-
ances in times of need, Tuthill said.
She is there with a cooked meal
following a friends return fromthe
hospital. She drives those without a
car to grocery stores or other shops.
She retains connections with high
school and college friends fromthe
Elmira area. This busy woman is
committed to service to her local
community, and through her church
affiliation, to the greater community.
McCabes late husband summed it
up best.
He would always say that I could
walk into an elevator and come off
with a newbest friend, she said.

Saved the Union:
Ulysses Grant in War
and Peace by H. W.
Brands. This portrait
sheds new light on
Grant, in all his hero-
ism and his consid-
erable weakness, and
argues that he was an
honorable leader who
consolidated the politi-
cal achievements of the
Civil War and was the
last presidential de-
fender of black civil
rights for nearly a cen-
tury. On the battle-
fields of the Civil War,
he proved a bold strate-
gist, impressing Lin-
coln to the extent he
named him head of the
Union army. A man
who never had any
interest in politics,
Grant, fearing that all
the wars gains would
be lost, in 1868 agreed
to run for president
and attempt to unite
North and South once
more.
The Last Lion:
Winston Spencer Chur-
chill Defender of the
Realm, 1940 1965
by William Manchester
and Paul Reid. Here is
the final volume of
Manchesters account
of Churchills life,
completed by Paul
Reid after Manches-
ters death. The study
begins shortly after
Churchill became
prime minister, when
Great Britain stood
alone against the over-
whelming might of
Nazi Germany, and
continues through a
recounting of the war
years when Churchill
organized his nations
military response and
defense. Then, driven
from office, Churchill
rose to warn the world
of the coming Soviet
menace. On his return
to 10 Downing Street,
he pursued his final
foreign policy goal
until ill health and age
claimed him.
The Generals:
American Military
Command from World
War II to Today by
Thomas E. Ricks.
Ricks has made a close
study of Americas
military leaders for
three decades. Here, he
sets out to explain why
history has been kind
to the American gener-
als of World War II --
Marshall, Eisenhower,
Patton and Bradley ---
and less kind to the
generals of the wars
that followed. He re-
ports on great leaders
as well as suspect ones,
generals who rose to
the occasion and those
who failed themselves
and their soldiers. He
believes that in the
wake of Vietnam, the
U.S. Army became a
transformed institution,
reinvigorated from the
bottom up, but with
flawed leadership at
the top.

Community members of all
ages have the opportunity
together this Christmas season
to make a positive difference
in the lives of more than 3,000
people in Lackawanna Coun-
ty.
Serving Seniors, Inc. is
seeking volunteers (individu-
als and groups) to write and
send or hand deliver person-
alized Christmas cards to
local nursing home and assist-
ed living center residents. The
project, titled Operation
Friendship, is in its 29th year.
The main purpose of the
program, according to a press
release, is to bring holiday
cheer and greetings to resi-
dents...who may not receive a
Christmas card this holiday
season.
Serving Seniors, according
to Mary Anne Maloney-
Evans, who started Operation
Friendship in 1983, is a non-
profit organization which
exists to improve the quality
of life and care of older adults
who reside in the community
as well as long term care fa-
cilities. It is funded by the
Lackawanna County Commis-
sioners through the Lacka-
wanna County Area Agency
on Aging and is a partner
agency with The United Way
of Lackawanna County.
Evans said last year over
150 volunteers delivered more
than 3,000 cards, and the or-
ganization hopes for the same
or a greater amount this year.
She said the project is im-
portant because it brings the
community into these long
term care facilities and to the
residents. She added it also
increases the residents self-
esteem, because it shows each
individual that someone cares
about them.
She pointed out the program
is unique in that it spans many
generations, bringing them
together to learn from each
other.
Those interested in joining
the project should call Serving
Seniors at 570.344.3931 and
ask for Lisa Torch.

Senior Kevin Kelly, 17, of

I love all of the people Ive

putting on productions with
his fellowPlayers over the
years. He added that within
the Players different friend
circles blend together into one
unified group.
Clarks Summit resident
Gabrielle Durr, 16 and a soph-
omore, plays a female vam-
pire bride in the show, a role
which she said begins to es-
tablish the creepiness of the
play.
It makes it a little bit cree-
pier, she said of when the
vampire brides appear on
stage. You get a vampire
vibe.
Moyles echoed a similar
sentiment.
Its a must-see for anyone
who enjoys a bit of the ma-
cabre and being just a little
scared, she said.

with it and couldnt keep his
hands off of it.
When asked about his fa-
vorite pottery pieces, he
laughed. Well youd have to
see them to understand, he
said.
To anyone interested in
pottery, McGoffs best advice
is practice.
If you really like it and its
something you want to do
and pursue and keep after,
you have to practice. Look at
shapes and forms. Keep in
mind what you see and then
make it your own way. Prac-
tice, practice, practice, espe-
cially if its wheel work. That
requires a lot of practice,
said McGoff.
He sees art as a different
way to view the world.
With art and basic potting
or sculpture, the general pub-
lic has a hard time with art
because they dont under-
stand. They need to just come
and see the artwork and real-
ize that the artist is look-
ing at the world in a
deeper way. Explor-
ing the deeper
realms of
things, colors,
geometry,
personalities
and emo-
tions, said
McGoff.
McGoff said artists often
create pieces or paintings that
relate to social conditions or
political statements, as well
as shape and form with new
views and ideas.
His artwork has been dis-
played at First Friday at AFA,
Nov. 2011, The Roberson
Museum, Binghamton, N.Y.
in 2007. in Binghamton and
he was also part of a group
exhibit Enchanted Reflec-
tions at The Amsterdam
Whitney Gallery, Chelsea,
NYC in 2004.
First- time Art Walk venue
Abington Financial Group
will provide wine and cheese
as refreshments for the Art
walk Nov. 9. from 5 to 8 p.m.
This is going to be our
first art walk event the first
one weve participated in
said Jamie Kresge, owner of
Abington Financial Group.
Foot traffic is very impor-
tant to the viability of Clarks
Summit Borough, and its
nice to see the different orga-
nizations, the Abington
Business and Profes-
sional Association,
the Art Council of
the Abing-
tons, do
things to have
the foot traf-
fic for the
Abing-
tons.
I was
just informed
that Borough
Council is going
to give me a proclamation. It
should be a fun event for that
evening, added Kresge.
Bring a new, unwrapped
toy for a Toys for Tots drop
box located at several Art
Walk venues, said Charles
Charlesworth of the Arts
Council of the Abingtons.
He also noted the event
will pay tribute to Veterans.
We are honoring Veterans
this month. People can also
register to win a signed print
of a painting of the Flag
Raising at Iwo Jimas (20

used for road maintenance,
and the borough budgets
$40,000 to $50,000 in addi-
tion to that annually for the
same purpose. Johnson and
Kehoe explained the plan
presented will save tax-
payers money, because the
borough wont have to pay
that extra $40,000 to
$50,000 each year, as the
road work will be taken
care of in one shot at a bulk
discount price.
That would save us mon-
ey, Johnson said. But it
wouldnt cost our residents
a dime, for the simple rea-
son the moneys that we get
from liquid fuel would pay
for the loan. And well have
a town, for the next at least
five to ten years, with good
roads.
Other items discussed at
the work session included:
Leaf pick-ups: Janine
Port, of Center Street, ex-
plained a problem in the
neighborhood regarding
leaves and grass clippings
being dumped into the
street swales just before the
storm. She said this can
cause flooding if the debris
accumulates in the drains,
clogging them. She inquired
about the boroughs leaf
pickup schedule.
Kehoe explained the pick-
up occurs on a continuous
basis throughout the season,
but it is difficult to say
exactly when the trucks will
arrive at which part of
town, as the schedule de-
pends on a number of fac-
tors. She confirmed resi-
dents are not supposed to
put leaves in the swales, but
at the edge of their proper-
ty.
Putting them in the
swales can and will cause
flooding, she said.
Commuter tax: Johnson
said although Council can
not vote during the work
session, he would like to
make a motion to contribute
$200 toward Mayfield May-
or Al Cheliks fight against
the recently proposed
Scranton commuter tax.
I feel bad for our citi-
zens that work in the city of
Scranton, he said. I feel
theyre being double-taxed,
and I dont think its fair-
...that we have to build the
city of Scranton up. Theres
people that live in Scranton
and work up here in the
Abingtons and we dont
charge them for our ser-
vices.
White Ribbon Against
Pornography Proclamation:
Council President Gerrie
Carey read aloud a procla-
mation to Council member
Patrick Williams, stating
the Council stands against
pornography, violence and
indecency in the borough
and is sponsoring the White
Ribbon Against Pornog-
raphy campaign as a way
to express our concern
about the flood of pornog-
raphy inundating our com-
munities. Carey pro-
claimed the week of Oct. 31

Ribbon Against Pornog-
raphy Week in the bor-
ough.
Williams presented a
white ribbon to Carey, and
explained the ribbons can

in various visible locations

Other items briefly dis-
cussed: a proposed plan to

Clarks Summit, Pa. NOVEMBER 7 TO NOVEMBER 13, 2012 50
SCRANTON Two strong
halves of soccer one to begin
the first half of the semifinal
against Williamsport and another
to stormpast Wallenpaupack in
the second half of the final
carried the Abington Heights
girls to their latest District 2
Class AAAchampionship.
The girls just really took it
upon themselves to step up their
game, Lady Comets coach E.T.
Hunter said after a second-half
rally produced a 5-1win in the
combined District 2-4 final Sat-
urday at Marywood University.
They played faster, they con-
nected their passes, they made
their runs and they shot a lot
more.
Abington Heights advanced to
the Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Athletic Association tournament,
which was scheduled to open
Nov. 6. The Lady Comets won a
district championship for the
fifth time in four years and five
seasons, including both spring
and fall titles when the school
made the switch in 2010.
Freshmen Ally Christman and
Emma Henzes had two goals
each in the second half when the
Lady Comets recovered froma
1-0 deficit.
Hunter said he made minimal
adjustments when behind be-
cause the teamwas playing a
clean game and just needed to
fine-tune the attack in difficult
weather conditions.
We just didnt shoot enough
and we were shooting fromtoo
far outside, Hunter said. The
wind had a lot to do with that. On
a low-wind day, the shots may
have been more dangerous, but
shooting from30 yards out into a
20 mile-per-hour wind held those
down.
Abington Heights had a 5-3
edge in shots while falling be-
hind in the first half. The Lady
Comets built a 21-2 advantage in
the second half to eventually
break down the Lady Buckhorns.
Christman, who had also
scored the only goal in the1-0
semifinal victory over William-
sport, forced a tie with 25:05 left.
The Lady Comets never led
until 15:52 remained, but then broke
the game open.
Henzes scored the game-winner on
an assist fromIsabelle Clauss.
Katrina Helcoskis assist helped
Henzes score again with 9:07 left for
the first of three goals in the final 10
minutes.
Christman got her second goal
before Heidi Frantz scored off an
Abbey Burke assist with 27 seconds
left.
The Lady Comets needed just
13:05 to score during the Thursday
night semifinal at Scranton Memorial
Stadium.
Michaelina Holmes made a short
pass fromleft to right inside the pen-
alty area to set up Christmans goal.

SCRANTON It took a
championship teamto defeat
Abington Heights High School
in boys soccer this season.
Delaware Valley added its
latest championship Saturday
night, Nov. 3, by shutting out the
Comets, 4-0, in the District 2
Class AAAfinal at Marywood
University.
We had a pretty good year,
Abington Heights coach Steve
Klingman said of the Comets,
who won the Lackawanna
League Division1title. Our
losses came three times to them
(Delaware Valley); to Mountain
View, the undefeated champion
in A; and Coughlin, the champion
in Double-A.
Delaware Valley won the Lack-
awanna League Division 2 title
with the help of a 2-1win over
Abington Heights in the regular
season. The Warriors then topped
the Comets, 1-0, in a meeting of
division champions for the Lacka-
wanna League Big School title.
The Warriors were at their best
in the third meeting, holding the
Comets without a shot for the first
48:30 while opening a 2-0 lead on
a pair of first-half goals by Chris-
tian Henry.
We didnt play real well and
Henrys a nice finisher, Kling-
man said. When you play in a
match like this, you have to be at
your best.
Henry was.
Just 7:46 into the game, he
made a long run with the ball to
open the scoring. Henry drib-
bled up the right side, split two
defenders while cutting to the
middle and slipped a shot on the
ground inside the right post.
When Chris Clark drewa call
in the penalty area with16:14
left in the half, Henry went high
to convert the penalty kick.
Henrys direct kick led to the
third goal with 26:58 remaining.
His hard shot could not be con-
trolled and Bruno Rodriguez
knocked in the rebound.
The Comets reached the final

The Abington region
has hosted professional
coaches who bring glory
to the hometown, volun-
teer parent coaches who
encourage youth and
even teen coaches who
pass on all they have
learned. One of these
coaches is preparing to
pass the torch. Jim Hat-
ton dedicated 25 years to
youth sports in the
Abingtons. When his
son Jim was seven, Hat-
ton began coaching Jims
Little League team.
Three years later, Hatton
moved on to become
President of the Abing-
ton Little League Board.
After four years, he took
on the role of Player
Agent for both the
Abington Little League
and the Abington Youth
Soccer League.
Hatton would send
registration packets to all
children in the two
leagues at the beginning
of their seasons. He
would publicize and hold
open registrations at the
library, place every child
on a team and schedule
all of the games.
This is the guy who
would make sure your
kid got on a team, even
if you came in late, Bob
Horvath, Vice President
of the Abington Little
League said. In the
Little League alone, he
scheduled 50-60 teams
on eight fields and man-
aged the rosters of over
700 boys and girls. He
placed every child, from
T-ball to major farm and
orchestrated the Little
League draft. In addi-
tion, this season Hatton
placed 980 boys and
girls in the soccer pro-
gram.
A Scranton native,
Hatton graduated from
Central Scranton High
School. He and his wife,
Linda, built a house in
Clarks Summit, where
they raised their three
children, Becky, Jim and
Tracy.
He spent 39 years
working as a Computer
Programmer at MetLife.
I was lucky because
they had a flexible
schedule, Hatton said.
I could go in early and
get out in time for the
games. Back in the late
1980s, before it was the
norm to do so, Hatton
created a database of
players to ease the regis-
tration process. His
friend and MetLife exec-
utive, Mark Davis, as-
sisted him.
Hatton described one
early spring morning
many years ago.
I used to come out to
Ackerly (Field) to cut the
grass around seven
oclock, he said. One
morning I saw my family
pull into the parking lot
in our van. My daughter
Becky said, Well dad,
we knew if we wanted to
see you, we better come
out here. They help me
set up the concession
stand that day, unpacking
boxes of food and
drinks. Anything we
could do to raise some
money and keep the
league going.
After playing a major
role in making youth
sports accessible to thou-
sands of local boys and
girls, Hatton is ready to
pass the torch. Now I
can catch up on some
projects around the
house and spend more
time with my grand-
children, he said.
According to Horvath,
Hatton will not be easy
to replace.
Jims work will be
greatly missed, but we
have so much gratitude,
Horvath said. He is a
perfect example of how a
member of the commu-
nity can volunteer and
give back. To stay in it so
many years after his kids
had moved on, its com-
mendable. He is a role
model to parents today.

CLARKSSUMMIT- With
the chance to finish off a perfect
regular season, Scranton re-
sponded with a dominating 35-0
win over Abington Heights in a
Lackawanna Football Confer-
ence Division I game at The Pit.
The Knights gained a first
down on their five plays of
regulation. Running back Jake
McCarthy capped an 8-play,
80-yard drive with a1-yard
touchdown run to give Scranton
a 7-0 lead with 4:26 left in the
first quarter. McCarthy picked
up 66 of his game-high 205
yards during the possession.
The offensive line came out
and just made a statement,
McCarthy said. It was un-
believable. They were pushing
guys off the line for like five, six
yards. I just followed them.
Knights defensive back Kar-
lon Quiller intercepted Comets
quarterback Dante Pasqualichio
on the ensuing possession.
Scranton took advantage of the
mistake by driving 75 yards on
14 plays, capped by a19-yard
touchdown pass fromMarlinn
Waiters to Quiller. After the
extra point, the Knights led14-0
with 9:01remaining in the sec-
ond quarter.
We came out focused,
Scranton head coach Mike
Marichak said. Offensively, we
were clicking. The line played
well and Marlinn had a great
game at quarterback.
Scranton scored on its third
consecutive possession when
Waiters found JimMcNally for
a19-yard touchdown to end a
16-play, 94-yard drive that took
over seven minutes off the
clock. After Alvaro Fernandez
added the extra point, the
Knights had a commanding
21-0 lead with 20.1seconds left
in the first half.
We knewcoming into today
that they were a very good foot-
ball team, Abington Heights
head coach Joe Repshis said.
They have the ability to do
many things with the ball on
offense. They made plays when
they needed to and played great
defense.
Abington Heights forced a
fumble on the first possession of
the second half, but failed to
capitalize on the momentumas
they went three-and-out.
The Knights continued their
attack when Waiters scored on a
5-yard run with 2:41remaining
in the third quarter, stretching
the Scranton lead to 28-0.
McCarthy scored his second
touchdown of the game on a
40-yard run with 7:46 left in the
game.
Abington Heights (8-2, 5-2
LFCDivision I) finished as the
number two seed for the District
2 Class AAAplayoffs. The
Comets will host Valley Viewin
the first round on Saturday, Nov.
10 at 1p.m.

with a 3-1win over Wyoming
Valley West Thursday at the
University of Scrantons Fitz-
patrick Field.
Kevin Elwell assisted on
goals by Ryan Patrick and
Tarek Khalil as the Comets
overwhelmed the Spartans in
the first 10 minutes.
Wyoming Valley West
closed within a goal at half-
time, but Michael Sullivan set
up a Matt Hoyt goal to restore
the two-goal lead with16
minutes left.
The Comets led, 23-7, in
shots, but Logan Zavada kept
the Spartans close for much of
the game with14 saves.
COMETS
JAY MONAHAN also contributed to
this report.
The Lady Comets won the
Lackawanna League Division
title with a perfect 15-0 record.
Abdalla, who excelled as a
freshman, showed further im-
provement this season, accord-
ing to head coach Tom Lavelle.
She clearly was an impact
player in her first year, he said.
Even though she was playing
No. 3 singles, she went neck-
to -neck in practice with Court-
ney (Ostrowski) and Alexa
(Abdalla). She developed a lot
of patience and intelligence in
her approach of analyzing
opponents and adjusting her
game to match the competitor.
Lavelle has been very im-
pressed with Pusateris mentor-
ship of the younger players.
Her biggest asset to the
team has been her leadership as
a senior captain, he said. She
has served in the role flaw-
lessly by pushing the team
during practice and providing
strong focus.
The coach also noted that her
level of play was raised toward
the end of the year.
In the last two weeks of the
season, she really started to
peak, Lavelle said. I think it
was a combination of all the
practice and hard work she has
put in over the last four years
and raising the bar for herself
and the team.
She started playing a lot
more offensively and played
some of the toughest tennis of
her career.
Lavelle credited a big mo-
ment in a match against rival
Scranton Prep for Becks emer-
gence as a very strong player.
She was playing for the
final deciding point in a big
match and I think her ability to
win the match for the team
really helped instill a lot of
confidence in her game.
The doubles team of Katie
Decker and Rachel Smertz also
provided the Lady Comets with
a big boost down the stretch.
Its really important for your
doubles team to get at least one
point in a match, Lavelle said.
They succeeded together well
in the regular season and had
an incredible run in the District
2 Class AAA doubles tourna-
ment upsetting two teams that
were seeded higher than them.
Lavelle believes the teams
close bond has contributed a
lot to their success.
One of the most important
things is team chemistry, he
said. The credit goes to cap-
tains Allie Pusateri and Cierra
Beck and the other girls for
buying in to the system. The
team has a lot of camaraderie
and a lot of focus.
Lavelle especially enjoys
coaching the team due to their
commitment and drive.
Im most impressed with
their dedication to the sport
and to practice, he said. Im
also impressed with their abil-
ity to work as a team. They
pursued a goal and did every-
thing they could to ensure that
the team had success. They
also conducted themselves as
true sportswomen.

that Melanie came up pretty
big on some short-range shots
or they would have put one or
two in.
The Lady Comets held on
and escaped with the win
following a week when weath-
er made practice nearly im-
possible. Schools were closed,
fields were unplayable and
Hunter said coordinating
indoor practice times did not
work out.
It would have been tough
to tell by our first half, Hunter
said of the inability to get in
consistent practice. But the
second half might have been a
fatigue issue or it might have
just been fromnot being on
the ball too much this week.
The Lady Comets threat-
ened several times late in the
half but were unable to add to
their lead.
In the first half, I felt like
we were sharp, Hunter said.
We had the majority of pos-
session.
After the strong start, how-
ever, Abington Heights had to
withstand a second-half surge
fromWilliamsport.
Melanie Coles made three
of her four saves in the final
20:05.
I felt like they really had
control of the second half,
Hunter said. We were lucky

CLARKES ON A ROLL
Keystone College sophomore
Justin Clarke (Lackawanna
Trail) is primed for Saturdays
NCAA Division III Regional
in Carlisle.
Clarkes last
three races
heading into
the Regionals
have been
outstanding.
He finished
28th out of
389 runners
in the Gettys-
burg Invitational with an 8k
time of 26:33, which was the
best ever for that distance at
Keystone and broke his own
personal record by 30 sec-
onds. He followed that up by
finishing fifth out of 149
runners at the Elizabethtown
Invitational (6.2k in 21:45)
and fifth out of 86 runners in
the Colonial States Athletic
Conference Championships
(8k in 28:01). That helped the
Giants finish second in the
team standings.
Justin is one of the hardest
workers on our team, coach
Mike Badway said. He runs
with more heart than any
athlete that I have ever had
and he brings it to practice
every day as well. The reason
why hes been so successful
is because of this determina-
tion. The team feeds off Jus-
tin, who is a leader by exam-
ple.
Clarke enjoys being part of
the team.
I love the fact that our
team is so close and that ev-
eryone gets along well, he
said. Myself, I feel that I
have improved greatly under
Michael Badways coaching,
but I know I have a lot of
improving left.

OBITUARY
Emmaline
Martha Griggs
died Friday,
Nov. 2, at the
VNAHospice
Unit at Geis-
inger CMC.
She was the widowof Howard
G. Griggs Sr., who died Sep-
tember 3, 2011.
Born in Scranton on May12,
1915, she was one of the13
children of Anna J. Bartlow
Rodney and Alpheus A. Rod-
ney of Court Street, Scranton.
Although not the youngest, she
was the last surviving sibling.
As a student in the Scranton
schools, she attended North
Scranton Junior High and grad-
uated fromCentral High School
and the Powell School of Busi-
ness. She worked in the credit
office of the Globe Store and,
after her children were raised,
she worked for the Kehrli Oil
Company in Factoryville.
She was a Sunday school
teacher, a member of the Sing-
ers Guild, a member and presi-
dent of the United Methodist
Women and the Abington
Womens Club. She and Ho-
ward were active in the Cou-
ples Class and instrumental in
starting the MYF at Clarks
Summit Methodist Church. She
was involved with the Dalton
Womens Club, the Federation
of Womens Clubs and the PTA.
Though she lived at Allied
Terrace for the past fewyears,
she and Howard lived for a
while at NewSeasons, where
she was the first president of
their Senior Living Council and
the emcee for many of their
special programs.
As a volunteer, her special
niche was devotion to the
Church Women United of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
This group was ecumenical in
purpose, and one of its first
events was a luncheon on Holy
Thursday for women of Our
Lady of the Snows and Clarks
Summit United Methodist
churches. Future years brought
women frommany churches
together for a unique spiritu-
alism. Her terms as president of
that organization and the Valiant
Woman Award she was given
by the organization led to her
being featured as Northeast
Woman in the Scranton Times/
Tribune February 5, 1995.
Emma loved to travel; she and
Howard had the good fortune to
spend some time in 42 states.
There could not be a more patri-
otic person; she swelled with
pride at any opportunity to tell
of her travels across this won-
derful nation. The final word in
any of those occasions, howev-
er, was that Pennsylvania was
the most beautiful of all. Her
pride and sense of beauty
poured forth in her many paint-
ings she created when she start-
ed painting at age 70. While
travel, painting and a good
game of bridge were among her
favorite pastimes, none could
compare to the joy she had as
she cooked, baked and pre-
served the fruits and vegetables
Howard raised in the family
garden in their home of 60 years
in Glenburn.
Surviving are three sons,
Howard Jr. and wife, Judy,
Clarks Summit; Phillip and
wife Tia, Duryea; and Joseph
and wife, Ruth, Ransom; eight
grandchildren and five great-
grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by
her loving husband of 72 years,
Howard G. Griggs Sr., and five
children, Phyllis, David, Jo-
nathan, Richard and Louise
Ann. She was also preceded in
death by her brothers Thomas,
William, Guy, Chauncey, Al-
pheus and Eric Rodney, and
sisters, Amanda Rounds, Jessie
Keisling, Frances Shiffer, Do-
rothy West, Louise Yaple and
Mildred Cook.
In lieu of flowers, memorials
may be made to Clarks Summit
United Methodist Church or St.
Jude Childrens Research Hos-
pital, 501St. Jude Place, Mem-
phis, TN38105.

gia, 99, Clarks
Summit died Sat-
urday evening,

inger Community
Medical Center in

Born in Scranton she was the
daughter of the late David and
Adina Materazzi Allegrucci. Prior
to her retirement she worked in
the Garment Industry in Scranton
for many years. She was a mem-
ber of

ci; and two sisters, Margaret Al-
