A fan and collector of comics for 25years, Comic Convention Promoter Jo-seph Figured asked himself about 15years ago, “What better thing to do thanput on a show?”Since then, he has been organizing
“comic-cons” in the Williamsport andScranton areas, and Sunday, Feb. 17, hewill bring the fun to the Clarks SummitElementary School, 401West Grove St.,from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.Headlining the convention is artist
Neal Adams, perhaps best known for hisiconic images of Batman, Green Lan-tern, X-Men and other superheroes. Hehas worked for comic book giants DCComics and Marvel Comics as well asother, smaller operations, including hisown. When not attending conventions,his professional efforts are dedicated tohis commercial art firm, Neal AdamsContinuity Productions.“He changed the lookof comic books,”
said Dave Romeo, owner of Comics onthe Green in Scranton. “He still drawsthe definitive batman that people thinkof.”Adams expressed excitement for the
convention, especially the chance to in-teract with fans and see some ice sculp-tures. He said this will be his first visit tothe region and his first time attending acomic convention that features ice sculp-tures.“This kind of stuff, maybe to a normal
citizen, doesn’t have the greatest signif-icance,” he said. “But to comic book fansand people who are into movies andcomputer games, they’re very signifi-cant, and very often their lives are tou-ched by some comic book story theymay have read or a book theymay haveread, and they’re perfectly willing totell you about it in no uncertain terms,and that’s delightful.”
Figured said the convention willfeaturemore than20guests, someofwhom are well -known creators,and others up-and-coming artistsand writers. He said many willhave samples of their work avail-
able for sale and autographing. He saidthe convention will also offer doorprizes, including a grand prize “jampiece,” which will be conglomeration ofartwork by the various visiting illustra-tors.Admission to the convention is $3.
Keystone College will provide free shut-tle service between the campus anddowntown Clarks Summit.The Batmobile will be in town the day
before the convention, Feb.16, in the 400block of S. State St.Convention guests include:Neal Adams.Writer/artist whose no-

held in downtown Clarks Summit Feb. 14through18. Kaplan said this year’s theme of“Sub Zero Superheroes” is grabbing the at-tention of a broad audience of all ages.“Everyone has a favorite superhero,” he
explained.And his?“Underdog,” he said, “Savior of the Tram-
pled.”ABPAExecutive Director Laura Anchera-
ni,whose favorite superhero is IronMan,de-scribed the event as, “A free gift to the com-munity that helps to support not only our lo-cal businesses but our local art scene aswell.”“It’s great for anyone of any age,” she
continued, “and is unique from otherfestivals in the way that it combinescommunity, family and the arts to-gether. It has something for kids toadults.Youcanhaveablastwatch-ing an ice sculpture be carvedduring the day then stroll thestreetsatnightforalittlebitofromance.”She said her favorite
part of the event iswatch-ing the live ice carvingsandseeingthesculptureslit up at night.Kaplan said he looks
forward to “the crowds, thebustle, themagic of the ice,”andhis favoriteaspectof theevent is “the community’senjoyment, the creativitypeople bring to it.”
Thisyearholdsplentyofopportunities forthat creativity with its lineup of interactiveentertainment.“Each year the event grows and evolves
based off of the theme,” Ancherani said.“This year we will be having a Comic Con-ventionaspartof thetheme. Inpastyearswehave hosted a tea party, renaissance actors,and so on, all based off our theme.”Headlining the convention is artist Neal
Adams,alegendintheworldofcomicbooks,according toDaveRomeo, owner of Comicson theGreen, Scranton.
“He’s justahugetalentin
this industry—way ahead of his time, too,”Romeo said of Adams, who is perhaps bestknown for his iconic imagery of Batman.Joseph Figured, convention promoter,
said fanswill be able to purchase souvenirsfrom Adams and the various other guestsandvendorsat theconventiontohavethemautographwhile there. He said the conven-tion will feature more than 20 individuals,some independent artists and others morenotable.“It is not only nice to get the big name
guys,” he said. “But also the up-and-comingones.”He said of Adams’ visit, “He’s going to
have a very impressive collection of artworkand prints.”Adams said he’s a “huge fan” of ice sculp-
ture and is excited to greet fans from theAbingtons.“I like to spend timewith people,” he said
ofattendingconventions.“I likepeople,I liketo understand how they think.”As an ABPAmember representing Every-
thingNaturalandClassicProperties,Kaplansaid the festival is an opportunity for the lo-calbusinesses to“showoffwhatagoodcom-munitywe live in.” He added that one of theABPA’s goals is to help provide the thingsthat make acom-muni-
ty “a better place to liveand play in.”

A local aspiring illustrator’sartwork will have a chance toshine, superhero style. Rebec-ca Vagnarelli, 19, of Jermyn, isa student at Marywood Uni-versitywhere she studies illus-tration. Vagnarelli’s superheroart is being featured on adver-tising materials for this year’s
Festival of Ice: Sub Zero Superheroes. Her Su-perman sketch is a perfect example of her talent
and love for art. “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve al-ways loved making art, my favorite subject inschoolwas art, andmymother always said Iwasgoing to be an artist,” she shared. “I picked Su-perman because for this occasion he has all thetools he needs. He has ice breath to make iceand laser vision to sculpt.”Although she has chosen to stay as a student
and artist for now,Vagnarelli shareswhat super-hero shewouldbe if shehad theoption, “Iwouldjust like to be a great detective like Batman. Hedoesn’t have super powers, but he’s super smartand good at almost everything.”

While some despise thewinter weather and theice and snow that ac-
company the season, others findit ideal for their everyday job.The Sculpted Ice Works crew inLakeville doesn’t seem to mindthe cold weather one bit, espe-cially because it means they cancarve their sculptures withoutthe threat of a quickmelt of theirmasterpieces.Sculptor and owner of Sculpt-
ed Ice Works, Mark Crouthamel,has been in the ice sculptingbusiness for more than 12 years,and his dedication to this skilland his business shines throughall of his frozen artwork.Sculpted Ice Works had hum-
ble beginnings with a smallteam, opening its doors in De-cember of 1999, but has grownsignificantly and reached its13thbirthday. Crouthamel’s companyhas expanded to a staff of 16, in-cluding lead carver, Neil Trim-per. With the help and dedica-tion of its workers, Sculpted IceWorks has continued its expan-sion. Last spring the companyopened its doors to spectators toallow factory tours of their facil-ity, where they can watch howthe ice is made and carvers in ac-tion. After the tour, guests areavailable to browse an Ice Har-vest Museum to get a historicview of how ice carving beganand visit the gift shop on thewayout.Crouthamel shared his excite-
ment on the continuing expan-
sion, “I look forward to tacklingprojects in our company to goeven more ‘green’ and paperless,to use renewable energy sourcesin our production.” Sculpted IceWorks hopes to continue expan-sion by creating a replica icehouse, remodeling the gift shopand creating an educational areaof the museum for schoolgroups. As demand increases forsculptures, the factory will alsoneed to expand to meet theseneeds.“We need to expand our block
production to keep up with de-mand and continue to developour existing markets,” Croutha-mel said.Sculpted Ice Works is more
commonly known around ClarksSummit for their figurine icesculptures featured at the annualClarks Summit Festival of Ice,but they have expanded theirproduct line beyond the stan-dard block of ice and trans-formed it into various dazzlingpieces. The company currentlysculpts for a variety of events in-cluding weddings, banquets andphoto shoots. Seafood displays,ice luges and bars, centerpiecesand company logos are just a fewsculptures that have been creat-ed.The team at Sculpted Ice
Works is hard at work, cateringto a broad area of customers anddelivering to about a 150mile ra-dius of their headquarters in La-keville. The crew has createdand showcased ice presentationsfor a variety of companies andevents, including DiscoveryChannel, theBronxZoo andM&
TBank. In addi-tion, they havehad the oppor-tunity to bringpieces to NewYork FashionWeek, which
display from Christmas to NewYear’s. This year, their eventshave thembusy on the road, trav-eling through Baltimore, Phoe-nix, Stowe, Vt., New Paltz, N.Y.and many more stops in be-tween.Sculpted Ice Works will dis-
play approximately 50 superherosculptures for Clarks Summit’s“Sub-zero Superhero” themedFestival of Ice. A majority of thesculptures will be made at theirfacility in advance, and somewillbe sculpted during live demon-strations throughout the week-end of the festival. Crouthameland his team are excited for thisyear’s theme and its challenges.“Each year we sculpt many
pieces that we have never done.”Out of all the superheroes,Crouthamel, the superhero of icesculpting is partial to X-Men he-ro, Storm. Although he is partialto the female superhero figures,he admits he has a real-life super-hero, “My true ‘super woman’ ismy wife, Mary.”

tion members at the The FirstPresbyterian Church of ClarksSummit will participate in andhost an art show Feb. 15 to17 forthe festival, which will be set upand available for viewing in thesession room of the church(room 206), 300 School St. Thisyear’s art show, entitled“HeARTBeat, will feature workfrom members of the parish andother artists, including coordi-nator of the exhibit ElaineTweedy of Factoryville.Tweedy explained the mean-
ing behind the title.“‘HeARTBeat’ will showcase
the art work of area artists whouse their talents and a portion oftheir time to help others.”She will exhibit pieces from
her collection of photos ofhomeless animals at the GriffinPond Animal Shelter in SouthAbington Twp. This collectionbecame an example of her dedi-cation of time to the shelterwithhope to help save and findhomes for these animals. Otherlocal artists’ works include fel-low Marywood graduates LolitaR. Nogan, an art therapist fromHamlin and Melissa Anowai ofScranton, whose art reflects astrong connection with nature.Although the art show cap-
tures a deeper meaning, it stillfound a way to tie into the “Sub-Zero Superheroes” theme forthe festival, as Tweedy ex-
plained.“I was hoping to feature art-
ists who don’t exhibit that often,but go about quietly helpingothers through their art...sort ofeveryday heroes, if you will.”The art will be on display and
available for viewing beginningFriday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. andwill reopen Saturday from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. The exhibit willalso be open Sunday from 9 a.m.to noon for viewing by congre-gation members.In addition to artwork, The
First Presbyterian Church ofClarks Summit will also hostmusical events, including a per-formance by the Barbara CohenTrio. Enjoy 1930’s and 40’s jazz,swing and bossa nova composi-tions featured from the GreatAmerican Songbook, performedin the church’s sanctuary. Thetrio will include vocals and gui-tar performed by Cohen, withguitarist BillWasher, bassist JoeCole and accompaniments onflute and saxophone by TomHa-milton.Cohen shared her excitement
for performingmusic, “I’ve beensinging and performing formany years and am blessed tohave studied with some reallygreat music teachers.”The trio will launch the eve-
ning’s musical entertainment inthe First Presbyterian ChurchFeb. 15 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.To add a little light-hearted
fun to the festival’s activities atthe church, juggler Rob Smithwill perform his act of jugglingeverything from balls to rings,clubs, fire torches and evenknives. The event will begin thefollowing day at 2 p.m. in thesanctuary of the church. Smithhas become a must-see act, ashis past two years of perform-ances have filled the room withawestruck spectators.Clarks Green United Metho-
dist Church will participate inthe Clarks Summit Festival ofIce again this year.“It’s a great community
event,” Rev. Brent Stouffer said.“The congregation likes to be in-volved in the community. Thepast two years we’ve had hotchocolate and baked goods atYoung’s Funeral Home.”Stouffer believes Young’s is a
prime sport because it’s in theheart of the downtown.“It’s a high traffic area and in
the winter it can get cold andpeople might a hot drink,”Stauffer said. “We thought itwould be nice for people to beable to get a cup of coffee or hotchocolate to warm up for freealong with a nice snack.”This year, there will be a
sculpture on display in front of
the church. Theywill also have atable set up outside Young’s onSaturday with informationabout programs at the church,including Bible school and Taek-wondo.There will be two new fea-
tures at the church this year.

Jeannine Luby just wants people to laugh.The author, speaker and comedian will
host a “laughter yoga” workshop as part ofthe Clarks Summit Festival of Ice Family Fun Fair.But don’t let thenameof herworkshop fool you,
she said. No sweatpants, mats or lithe bodies nec-essary.Theonly thingneeded is anopenmindanda willingness to laugh.“It’s not normal yoga,” Luby said. “It’s about
laughing for the sake of laughing, for fun, to feelgood.”Laughter yoga involves several activities to in-
duce laughter.“We do a lot of clapping, a lot of breathing and
chants,” Luby said. “It’s very easy to do. All youhave to know how to do is breathe, laugh andclap.”Laughter yoga was developed in India by a phy-
sician and is relatively new in the U. S.“I’ve done training from two different laugh yo-
ga training schools,” Luby said. “I think I’m theonly onewho does it in this part of Pennsylvania.”In keepingwith this year’s Festival of Ice theme,
Luby will focus on superheroes for the session.“With yoga, we try to do a fun themewith a sto-
ry. For this evening, I am going to focus on super-heroes,” shesaid.Luby’s laugh-
ter yoga ses-sion will takeplace at 7:45p.m. Feb. 14 onthe first floor ofthe ClarksSummit bor-ough building.

Superheroes have strength for miles .That’s why Elizabeth Schneider, 5, of Clarks Summit
insisted on being “Spiderman with the muscles” whenselecting her hero gear for a costume contest, said momKelly Schneider. “I was just lifting a horse at home beforeI got here,” said Elizabeth, at a superhero photo shootFeb. 7. Her mom Kelly noted it was a toy horse, but stillrequired plenty of muscle power.And as for Logan Gallagher, Clarks Summit, he loves
superheroes so much he had to decide between assortedcostumes to enter the contest – but Superman won out.These two superheroes submitted photos to a costume
contest sponsored by Penn Security Bank, The AbingtonJournal and Abington Business and Professional Associ-ation and were selected as winners. They each will re-ceive a $100 savings account from the bank, a ride in afiretruck during the Festival of Ice Parade Feb. 14through downtown Clarks Summit and will be an-nounced as winners and receive their prizes at the Fam-ily Fun Fair immediately following the parade.
