Local church works to feed the hungry

by Linda Scott

SPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Waverly United Methodist Church is looking to grow, in more ways than one.

The church, at 105 Church St. in Waverly, needs volunteers to help plant a community garden.

Ground was broken for the garden last month, and it will be planted during the Community Garden Festival on Saturday, May 21.

“It is the church’s desire to engage the community in the garden and to tend to it,” pastor Michelle Whitlock said. “The church embraced a vision in 2015 to transform the world one meal at a time. It is a vision for the community. An intergenerational one for all ages in one mission.”

The garden will contain a variety of vegetables including squash, carrots, several kinds of tomatoes, onions, eggplant, zucchini and beans.

“The holes for the fence posts have already been dug,” said church trustee Dave Gilpin.

“The fence will keep the deer out.”

The produce harvested will be donated to local food banks, shelters and soup kitchens.

The weekend events will begin with a community spaghetti dinner Friday, May 20, 5 to 7 p.m.

Many volunteers are being sought for Saturday’s events, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The garden will be planted and a community lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. From noon to 2 p.m., kids can engage in a number of projects including crafts, planting, building scarecrows and more.

this event will go toward the Stop Hunger Now project.

In addition, 40 or 50 volunteers are needed to pack 10,000 dry meals, which will then be shipped to a program known as Stop Hunger Now. The program will distribute them to 30 countries including Afghanistan, Angola, Belize, Cambodia, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and the Philippines. Program officials say these meals might be the only meal a family has that day.

“The church is building a bridge with the community and strengthening relations,” said church lay leader Ron Hackman. “It is a community and church project, and we need peo-

ple who have the desire to engage in planting the garden and tending to it.”

To help pay for the project, the church recently received a grant from the Susquehanna Conference United Methodist Church and donations from Walmart, Wegmans and Clarks Green and Tompkinsville United Methodist churches.

Corporate sponsors include Pena Plas Co., R.G. Petty Construction and Nick Malatesta Construction.

On Sunday, May 22, an outdoor service will be held at 9 a.m., which will include the dedication of the garden. Fellowship and refreshments will follow the service.

Green Scene: Memorial Day and Memorial Trees Question: How old is the following quotation? “In our trees lie a great strength; in memorial trees, in honor of our soldiers and sailors, whether they lost their lives or not, is a great object lesson as well as a lasting and fitting memorial to those who fought against autocracy.”

Answer: Nearly a century. The quotation appears in a volume called “The Modern City,” published in 1919. The article provides a list of many ideas both for memorializing the dead and celebrating the living.

In Memory. As detailed in a 2006 book by Clarks Summit resident Charles Pinches, A Gathering of Memories, human beings innately recognize the significance of attaching memories to concrete objects. And, as the above quotation proves, Americans have chosen to use trees to memorialize for at least a century.

Perhaps trees are suited to memorials

because of their constancy: Once we plant them, we know that we can always physically return to the place, and in so doing return to the memory. On the other hand, perhaps trees are suited to memorials because of their cyclical beauty: Every year, trees exhibit the life cycle of birth, beauty, maturity, decline, death, absence and rebirth.

Or, perhaps trees memorialize well because their lifespan often persists across human generations, and so we can mark time next to trees. Finally, trees, like the person being honored, become a fixture of the broader community.

In Celebration. A Clarks Summit resident once told me that he had planted one of the trees on his lawn in celebration of his daughter’s birth. A couple of years later, he planted a tree to mark his son’s birth. In a sad turn of events, these trees became memorial trees: before his

children reached their teen years, their father, who had planted trees in their honor, died. Now, as I pass those celebration trees, which are growing tall and sturdy, I remember this devoted father’s love. How much more will this continue to become a special memory for his surviving children?

On the other hand, tree planting in honor of the living was also discussed in the century-old article referenced above: The state forester of Maryland suggested that if schools planted trees in honor of their students, those students would become stakeholders in the care and appreciation of those trees.

Other ideas from 1919 include me-

morial forests and groves, and memorial highway plantings. Imagine the beauty of a mile-long memorial drive, with trees lining both sides of the street. And the memorial forest is not as far-fetched as it might seem; the University of Toronto has planted forests as small as a 10th of an acre.

Clarks Summit has planted several trees in honor of the dead. Contact the borough office for information on how you can become involved.

Comets volleyball reigns again

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

Abington Heights began its boys volleyball season short-handed, but that fact did not worry Comets coach Jamie Spangler, nor his players.

They just kept winning, as the Comets nailed down their second straight Lackawanna League title.

“Due to some things out of our control early in the year, we didn’t have a full roster for the first five matches,” Spangler said.

“When we got through the first half of the season 6-0, I knew I had a really deep team.

We have 10 to 12 kids that I feel comfortable being in there in big games. That’s something we haven’t had in the past. Being able to compete at a high level using that many different players and combinations is really what made me realize that this team can go far this season.”

The early-season success went a long way in easing any pressure to win.

“We were 11-1 last year, so getting to 12-0 was our primary motivation; winning the league wasn’t enough,” Spangler said. “In the same way, although we are now league champions, we still haven’t been able to have success in the district playoffs. That is the focus now that is keeping the team motivated. Last year was our first league title, so naturally we want to keep building and that means making a run in the district and state playoffs.”

Spangler had plenty of new or improved weapons this year, a group that was led by Robbie McGarry, a senior middle hitter.

“Robbie played a little bit on varsity last year and always had the athletic ability. This year the mental part of the game really started to click with him,” Spangler said. “He ended up leading our team with 97 kills.”

In addition to McGarry, Spangler also lauded his other players.

• Rhys Yarns (senior), libero — “As a team captain this year, Rhys had an incredible 69 aces this year. In my opinion, Rhys was the league’s best player this year, who also led the team in digs with 145. He’s our best server and passer, who in 245 service receptions only had 11 errors.”

• Sean Salmon (senior), setter — “Team captain who was our most consistent player.

Led the league in assists with 315. In the past we have one or two really big hitters that got the majority of our kills. Sean was able to spread the ball around to use all the weapons we had this year.”

• Eric Brickel (junior), outside hitter — “Eric is now in his third straight year as a varsity starter and is becoming a dominant hitter.”

• Kevin Albright (junior), outside hitter — “Kevin does a really good job of knowing when to be aggressive and when to be a smart hitter; probably our most consistent outside hitter. As a primary passer in serve receive only had two serve-receive errors in 94 receptions.”

• Phil Gattorna (senior), middle hitter — “Led our team in blocks with 25. His best swings have come late in tight games.”

• George Kronick (junior), right side hitter — “Provided a huge block on the right side and also has contributed with timely kills and defense.”

• Peter Heckman (junior), defensive specialist — “Became one of our best defenders playing right back. Consistent server and serve receive passer.”

• Pat McGrail (junior), defensive specialist — “Consistent server and really good in serve receive. He has really good instincts for reading and reacting to make plays defensively playing middle back.”

• Dan Munley (junior), outside hitter/ right side hitter/middle hitter — “Dan does whatever we need him to do. He’s like a Swiss army knife and can play any position on the court, and we’ve called upon him for just about everything.”

• Trey Yarns (senior), outside hitter — “Trey has come a long way from previous seasons. Like Munley, Trey has given us really good depth at the outside hitter position. He has played his best during the three matches that he started and can provide some offense if we are struggling.”

McGarry and Rhys Yarns picked up firstteam all-star recognition while Salmon, Brickel and Albright garnered second-team berths.
