C.S. Council:

Private offers

made to fund

assault riflesByKEvIN KEarNEy

Abington Journal Correspondent

CLARKS SUMMIT- Clarks Sum-mit Police Chief Joseph Laguzzi hasreceived several private donation offers

to help cover the costs of his initiativeto purchase three semi-automatic assaultries.

Hes received several phone callsfrom people who want to help, BoroughManager Virginia Kehoe told councilmembers at a work session May 28.

The chief had addressed council atthe May 1 meeting about the possiblepurchase of the AR-15s, but the matterwas tabled due mainly to nancial issues.The potential donors came forward afterreading about it in the media.

The ries cost about $1,200 each.Laguzzi will have more information

about the donations at next weeks regu-lar meeting, Kehoe said.

Council member Herman Johnsonsupports the effort of the chief, saying

the safety of the police ofcers is a toppriority. But he added that no money wasbudgeted for the weapons and he wantsto make sure no nancial problems arecreated.

Laguzzi has said in light of the nationalevents in the past few months, he wantsthe police force to have every opportu-nity to be prepared. He also has cited thegrowing number of criminals who carrymodern rearms.

In another matter, the borough iswaiting for results of a preliminary airquality test done at the police depart-ment. There are some concerns aboutbasement mold, Kehoe said, notingthere are no basement windows and oftennot proper ventilation.

If there is a problem and work needs tobe done, council will rst have to meetwith the nance committee.

Council thanked the Clean Air GroupInc. of Clarks Summit for donating itsservices for the testing.

Council also received a $1,500 dona-tion from members of the AbingtonSenior Community Center. This is veryappreciated, said Councilwoman GerrieCarey.

Johnson noted that the center is verycommunity oriented. I wish everyonefollowed in their footsteps. Kudos tothem.

Also at the meeting, council laudedVFW Post 7069 for its successful Memo-rial Day parade through the borough.

We had an overow (crowd), Careysaid, adding that she had received numer-ous compliments about the event.

Sixteen years ago, Newton-Ransom Elementary fourthgrade teacher Rebecca Kam-eroski went to school principalRobert Bugno with an idea.

I could see in her face thepassion she had for this, saidBugno, referring to what hedescribed as a time during theschool year when hundredsof people came together to dosomething for students.

He also said Arts Alive,is an annual event that every-one looks forward to from thebeginning of the school year tothe end.

editors noteIn an article which appeared in

the May 22 edition of The AbingtonJournal, Lions Club District 14-HGovernor Mark Kusma, SouthAbington Twp., was inaccuratelyidentied as a member of the SouthAbington Lions Club. He is a mem-

ber of the Abington Lions Club.A story about a recent Glen-

burn Township meeting incor-rectly stated that the Lackawan-na County Community Relationswill hire 50 people at an upcom-ing job fair. Rather, at the jobfair June 13, 1-6 p.m. on theupper concourse at PNC Field,more than 50 private-sector em-

ployers will be featured and eachof those employers will seek tohire for their own workforces.

A story about an event hostedby Joans Dance Studio ended midsentence. It should have featuredthe following: Owner and instruc-

tor Joan Manze began dancing inEngland in 1934 and after com-

ing to the U.S. in 1949, she beganteaching her own method in ClarksSummit in 1950.

We regret the errors.

Take a trip to PNC Field where theRailRiders play. The sights and smellsof the wonderful food items overwhelmyou as you enter the stadium. Thequestion: Which food concession standto visit and what food item or items topurchase?

Legends runs the food concessionstands at the stadium. They are alsoresponsible for the suites and sales of

souvenirs such as shirts, hats, tradingcards and rally towels . Rich Kloss isin charge of the food program and has

been with the stadium since 1991, after he nished highschool.

It paid my way through college. It is a labor of love,he said.

The stadium underwent a transformation last year. Up-per deck seating was removed and the main gate changedto an open- air corridor. A childrens area includes the

Champ bounce house. The Rail Riders played the year onthe road when the stadium was under reconstruction.

I worked at different stadiums of the Yankees farmsystem including Staten Island and the Lancaster BarnBurners, Kloss said.

The concession stands are run by high school studentsat their rst jobs, college students and even older adults.Jordan Marsh, 17, was selling cotton candy and fresh-squeezed lemonade. It is an ideal summer job, said theHoly Cross student.

At the taco stand was Jacob Brown, 18, fromAbingtonHeights said, I needed a job. This is my rstyear working at the sta-dium.

Fourconces-sionstandsand

sev-er-al

portable ones offer a va-riety too long to list everyitem,, but include typicalcheeseburgers and ham-burgers, and a junior orjumbo hot dog . At a tacobar, nd tacos or a tortillawith various toppings.

Perhaps it is Revellospizza you crave- they sellred and white. Other op-tions are gyros (beef, lambor chicken) , bratwurst, kielbasa and a sausageand pepper hoagie.

The stadium has a 750pound- capacity smokernear right eld thatfeatures a Bent Bucklebarbecue, a pulled -porksandwich and a BBQbrisket sandwich.

Snacks range from moz-zarella sticks, pretzels,peanuts, popcorn, cottoncandy, cinnamon roastednuts among others.

The project site will expandupon the current plant foot-

print in the Chinchilla sectionof South Abington Township.The upgrade was designed

Board Chairman DonaldSnyder, at the event said Weaccomplished the task. Wewill have clean water for ourchildren and grandchildren.It was difcult to have goodresults but all the communi-

ties came together.According to the AbingtonRegional WastewaterAuthor-ity, municipalities can createa special form of governmentand appoint its members toa board of directors. ClarksSummit and South Abington

Township formed a jointsewer authority in the 1960s.Clarks Green joined when theauthority was reorganized asthe Abington Regional Waste-waterAuthority in 2011.

Meetings were held withrepresentatives from ClarksGreen, Clarks Summit andSouth Abington Township,Christopher Gibbons ofConcord Public FinancialAdvisors, various engineer-

ing rms and bank repre-sentatives. Everyone cametogether. If stumbling blocksoccurred, then the issues wereworked out, said Snyder.

pliance with EPAs mandate toreduce the discharge of phos-

phates and nitrates that pollutethe Chesapeake Bay.

Second and third graders

performed one dance each perclass and fourth grade studentshad two dances per class.

Nan Burti, ceramic artistand Paul Kaulfers, assistant toceramic artist; Beth Shaw, musicdirector and Heather Twiss,substitute music teacher; DenaMaciak, backdrop design andMark Montella, musical art-ist, also shared their talents inthe production of When a TreeFalls.

Kameroski noted middleschool teacher, Michael Fre-idlin, was our rst inspira-tion when we read The GreatKapok Tree. He would come toNewton Ransom (Elementary)and share (his experiences in therainforest) with third and fourthgrade, so we decided this wouldbe a great show. Its so rich.

Bridegroom of Blowing Rockshares Civil War romanceByVictoria L. SeamanS


In honor of Tunkhannocks Sesquicenten-nial celebration, the Pennsylvania Councilon the Arts and the Dietrich Theater willhost the live theater production of the CivilWar drama The Bridegroom of BlowingRock. The play, written by Catherine Tri-eschmann, was the 2001 recipient of the L.Arnold Weissberger Playwriting Award. It isdirected by Jennifer Jenkins.

This story was chosen as part of thecelebration, because it displays how fewdifferences there were between Union andConfederate patriots during the Civil War,according to Jenkins.

Jenkins said that she is excited to bring

this play to Tunkhannock for the Sesqui-centennial celebration to show that wearing

blue or grey really made no diference whenit came to the destruction of families duringthe Civil War.

The Bridegroom of Blowing Rock, isa story of romance between a lost soldier(David Swanson as the Bridegroom) anda young blind woman (Jila Rusavage as

Laurel), one from the North and the otherfrom the South, who meet near the closeof the Civil War. The young couple soondiscover that the similarities they share arefar more important than their differences.

Chibirka will premiere Portraits,Landscapes & Florals at The PaulyFriedman Art Gallery, MisericordaaUniversity.An opening reception will

be held from 5 to 8 p.m. June 8 and willrun through July 31.

She paints using live models andphotographs. She featured her threedaughters, Cristina Cox, Mollibeth Coxand Laura Cox, in several paintings.

Depending on what it is, Ill paintmodels or photographs.A live model iswonderful to have because you get trueskin tones and shadowing. There is a lotof small details you can capture versus a

photograph. There is more of an essence

from light that it feels alive.The Dalton resident who was educat-

ed at Pennsylvania Governors Schoolfor the Arts, Painting, 1973, Indiana

University of Pennsylvania, 1977 andArts Student League, New York City,2001, has been a professional commis-sioned artist since the early 1990s.

Chibirka will show about 30 oilpaintings mostly on linen, but a few oncanvas, varying in size with the largestat 5 feet by 6 feet.

Oil is the only medium Chibirkapaints. She said she likes the consisten-cy and the richness oil paints offer.

You can manipulate and push paintaround, Chibirka said.

Chibirka currently resides on her fam-ily farm; she said the area is serene andquiet, which brings her inspiration.

An artist is nothing more than agreat observer, Chibirka said.

Showing in the MacDonald Gal-lery are Todd Jeffreys: Wheel ThrownClay Worksand Tim Weaver: RecentWatercolors.
