SUBURBAN

Scare competition at area businesses

by Linda Scott

SPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Scarecrows are on display throughout the Abingtons. The Abington Business and Professional Association (APBA) started this annual event with community members making scarecrows. The scarecrows were then put on display along State Street attached to parking meters.

A few years ago, the focus changed to having businesses make the scarecrows and have the community vote for the best one.

“This event is a kick off to our big Fall Fun Day [held last weekend],” said Laura Ancherani, executive director of the ABPA. Businesses participating in the event this year include: Abington Community Library, Clarks Summit Senior Living, Clel’s Place, CLOE and Company, Essential Beauty Treatments Salon & Spa, Everything Natural, McGovern Insurance, Northeast Title and Tag, The Refill Station, Sole to Soul, Summit Frameworks, Woods and Company.

Some of the entries are whimsical. For example, the McGovern Insurance scarecrow is driving a small black car. It is dressed in a red and gray shirt with a straw hat. The back of the car is carrying pumpkins and rats.

“This is the third year that our business has participated,” said Diane Ludka. “We try to make the scarecrow fit into the context of our business, which includes insurance for homes, cars and business. The first year we participated we won first place and we placed third last year,” The community can meet Gwendolyn at the Refill Station. “I got the idea from Pinterest to use a lid for the face, but it is my own design and I made it up,” said Marlene Zeidman.

“I thought, ‘let me make this into a scarecrow.’ ” The scarecrow is dressed in a green checked shirt, jeans purchased from a thrift store and a belt.

Straw sticks out from holes in the jeans. The shirt has multiple colored buttons and Gwendolyn wears a hat with leaves.

“I painted her face on a lid and used a button for her nose. I braided her hair and put ribbons in it.

I had fun and it gets the community and businesses involved,” added Zeidman.

The Refill Station is a family-owned business run by Eric, Marlene and Jason Zeidman. They do computer repairs and sell ink toner. This is the first year the business has participated.

The Abington Community Library chose to add a new staff memThe Abington Com- ber who greets visitors at the door. munity Library’s newest staff member greets you at the door dressed in the ABPA.

Green Scene: Snow Flying

While you could have missed it last Saturday, you could not have missed it Sunday: Snow was already flying this year. So let’s do our first thinking about snow management for the upcoming winter. (Even most snowbirds I know wait to fly south until after Christmas, so even they will have some snow to deal with).

Trees Trees and snow are not an acute issue; they’re chronic. In other words, your long term tree management relates to snow in two extremes. First, if you have never had any work done on your specimen trees, you may have decay caused by branches rubbing, or you may have weak branch attachments. Both conditions make a tree vulnerable to failure with the additional weight of snow. On the other hand, if you have had your trees topped, you have an increased risk of failure with snow weight because of the combination of heavy response growth and wound decay. In either case, arborists can take preemptive measures to protect you and your trees, specifically by cabling and crown-cleaning.

Shrubs Don’t tie up your arborvitaes, replace them. Okay, replacement is just my opin-

ion, but evergreen shrubs with weak wood and multiple leaders are a perennial recipe for disaster, especially when you add the snow factor.

Lawn Protecting your lawn is an acute issue: This fall you can take steps to avoid two risks for gray snow mold — which kills grass. The risk for gray snow mold on lawns increases in direct proportion to the length of time that snow sits on the grass. Purdue University reports that “severe outbreaks threaten when there are more than 90 days of snow cover.” How long was that plowed pile of snow on your lawn last spring? If you worry about snow mold, consider switching to snow blowers, if possible, to reduce the piles that take forever to melt. Purdue also reports that the snow-mold risk jumps back to only 40 days in the case of “taller mown turf.” So don’t put away the mower yet, and especially do not wait till spring to remove the leaves.

Did the snow plow turn your lawn into a sod farm last winter? This damage is not inevitable: Take preventive measures this fall by hammering reflective markers into the ground along your driveway before the ground freezes—or use a snow blower. By the way, do not wait another day to have your snow blower serviced.

I spoke this week with Von Storch Repairs, and while the snow blower rush has not hit yet, some customers have already dropped off their snow blowers. Don’t be the customer who begs for service the day before the big snow.

Finally, think about steps you can take to get less salt on the root zones of your trees, shrubs and lawn this winter.

After a hit-and-run accident destroyed Clarks Summit Borough’s sister city sign, previously located in Veterans’ Memorial Park, Department of Public Works staff placed a new sign in Preate Park on Summit Hill. The replacement of this sign is mostly due to the efforts of Warren Watkins, Clarks Summit’s liaison to its sister city, Ystradgynlais, Wales; and Borough Councilman Dominic Scott.

Pumpkin Pull-Apart Bread with Rum Glaze For bread: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup milk 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (equivalent to 1 packet) ¾ cup pumpkin puree ¼ cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2½ cups bread flour 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For rum glaze: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/8 cup brown sugar 1½ tablespoons milk ¾ cup powdered sugar 1 tablespoon rum In a saucepan over medium-high heat, brown 2 tablespoons of butter, letting it bubble up and turn a dark golden brown.

Do not burn. After butter is browned, remove the pan from the heat and gently add the milk; return the saucepan to the stove and heat through.

Pour the milk and butter into the bowl of standing mixer fitted with a dough hook and allow to cool so it is no longer hot but lukewarm. Add the yeast and ¼ cup of sugar and allow to proof (this can take up to 8 minutes, the top will look foamy and the liquid cloudy). Next, add the pumpkin, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Stir until combined then add the rest of the flour ½ cup at a time and

knead for 6 minutes (the dough should feel smooth and elastic and just slightly sticky).

If the dough is too moist, add extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel. Allow to rise in a warm place for 6090 minutes or until doubled in size.

While dough is rising, brown another 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well; set aside.

Next, grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and flip out onto a clean floured surface and knead with hands for 1-2 minutes. Roll dough into a 20×12-inch rectangle. Evenly sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture and press into dough with palms of the hand. Cut the rectangle into 6 strips. Lay strips on top of each other and cut each strip into 6 even squares (cut in half then each half into thirds). Stack strips vertically into the loaf pan. Cover the pan with a clean towel and let rise for 30-45 minutes. After rising in the pan, bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes or until top is a deep golden brown. Yield: 1 loaf.

Providing Wellness

The Lackawanna County Commissioners provided a “Good Works” certificate to The Deutsch Institute in recognition of the agency’s work in providing recreation and wellness programs to individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.

The organization, established in 1979, serves five counties and participates in cooperative ventures and programs with other social service agencies as a means of improving the health and well-being of its clients.

The agency offers educational services, art classes, bowling, bus trips and social activities. Its major fundraiser, “The Champagne Celebrity Brunch,” will be held Sunday, Nov. 8, at St. Mary’s Center in Scranton.

Learning about the Brain

Area children in grades four to seven can learn about neuroscience through handson experiments designed by University of Scranton students Saturday, Nov. 7, in the university’s Loyola Science Center.

At the Northeast PA Kids Judge Neuroscience Fair, now in its 14th year, neuroscience majors teach the young students about the brain through games and experiments.

The university students design the lessons and labs specifically to teach and engage younger students in neuroscience concepts. After the experiments, the children have the opportunity to judge which group of university students created the best lesson and experiment.

The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, and is offered free of charge. Reservations are required to participate. All children participating must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The registration deadline is Monday, Nov. 2.

To register, contact the university’s Office of Community Relations at community@ scranton.edu or call 570-941-4419. Participation in the fair is limited to 60 students.

A Special Win Coach’s son helps give him his 100th victory

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

Steve Klingman has seen a lot over his 43 years in coaching soccer at a variety of levels, from his days directing the University of Scranton all the way down to U-7 youth clubs.

Now in his seventh year at Abington Heights, there aren’t too many things that have evaded the veteran coach, but this season his son, Colin, gave his father a special memory.

Coach Klingman knew he was at 99 wins when the Comets paid a visit to Wallenpaupack to face the Buckhorns in a Lackawanna League Division I-II crossover game. With the game in the second half and the Buckhorns ahead, 1-0, Colin belted a direct kick into the net, tying the game.

When the Comets scored a second goal to pull out a 2-1 triumph, coach Klingman shook hands with everybody, as he does after any other game, and never told anyone about the significance of the win.

“I did not know that until now,” Colin said. “Wow. Just hearing that now makes it; it means a lot more now.”

“It’s my last year, to see my Dad get his 100th win, it’s a big thing.”

Because Colin is a senior, and the youngest of three boys and a girl, this will be the last time Steve will be coaching one of his children at the high school level.

Colin has had some big shoes to fill as the youngest, and responded with an outstanding year that landed him Division I Player of the Year honors, according to his father.

“Colin’s had a good year, realistically a good career,” Steve said. “He’s been consistent, and has scored 15 goals this year.

“We’ve had four pretty good years with him on the team; he’s been a pretty important part of it.”

Colin played center back as a fresh-

man and sophomore, then moved up to center midfield the last two years, playing a key role in the Comets claiming District 2 Class AAA titles his sophomore and junior seasons.

His brothers Derek and Justin also played for their father, while sister Kelly was coached by Steve through travel play for a number of years. She earned all-league status and league Most Valuable Player honors, which also meant she was an all-state selection.

Derek played just one year for his dad while Justin was a year behind Derek.

Justin also was picked Player of the Year in his division to garner all-state honors, just as Colin is going to do this year.

Coach Klingman has been fortunate enough to be around with his kids for such a long time as their coach, and really appreciates that time, which is nearing an end.

“It’s been nice for me, after coaching for 20-plus years down at the University (of Scranton), then having had the opportunity to coach my kids through their high school years,” Steve said. “It’s been fun. Like any father-son coaching situation, there are challenges.

“I tend to expect more from him.

We’ve had our battles, but the bottom line is, he’s been good to coach.”

“It’s been tough at times,” Colin said.

“There is criticism, he expects a lot from me.

“But it’s been great, the last four years, been a great experience.”

He has had a long family history in the sport to live up to, and was fortunate enough to help his father achieve a personal milestone and contribute a goal that neither Colin nor Steve will ever forget.

For Steve, who guided Scranton to four straight Final Fours during his coaching stint with the Royals, his 100th win at Abington Heights may well be the most meaningful achievement because family was involved.

“ hose who believe they can do somet ing & those who believe they can’t are both right.”
