SPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

It may be called Taste of the Abingtons, but The Abington Rotary Club’s annual shindig — slated for Sunday, Sept. 13, 5-8 p.m. at the Nichols Village Hotel and Spa 1101 Northern Boulevard in Clarks Summit — is more than just a change to sample food from restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

Eateries and food makers from all over the region now participate in the event, “This event brings an opportunity to see the great things available in the area, meet friends, relax and support the Rotary’s projects within the community,” said Laurie Stephens, Abington Rotary vice president and chair of the event, now in its 11th year.

Attendees can nosh on salads, soups, appetizers, entrees and desserts from 36 participating restaurants. Several businesses or restaurants return year after year. Manning’s brings several varieties of ice cream cake, Cooper’s in Scranton brings its Maryland Crab Bisque and Gertrude Hawk Chocolates will be there, to name a few.

New this year is Harvest Catering, based in Dunmore. Owners Sara and Michael Bodner will be cooking up zucchini flower quesadillas with fresh tomato salsa.

“Members of the Rotary will bring back Ingrid’s Swedish meatballs, a tradition from the early years of the Taste,” added Stevens.

The evening also includes raffles and and chances to win gift certificates.

“If a restaurant cannot make the event it will often show its support with a gift certificate,” she explained. “Some of this year’s features are an overnight stay in Camelot’s King suites, a cigar sampler and ice cream cakes.”

Back this year is wine tasting with Maiolatesi Wine Cellars and Bartolai Winery and beer tasting with 3 Guys & A Beer’d. Cigar tasting will be in a separate area.

Ken McGraw will play piano music and, later, jazz ensemble the Mark Nolan Trio, with special guest Alex Marino, will perform.

Green Scene: Dulcamara

At this time of year, the bright red berries of Solanum Dulcamara, also known as nightshade or bittersweet (the Latin translation of dulca-mara), are starting to stand out in untended parts of landscapes. In contrast to what one of my customers recently told me, dulcamara is not the same as chokecherry (prunus virginiana), and the difference might be significant if you decided to eat the berries.

While in 1981 Roberta M. Starry wrote that “with ... chokecherry recipes you can make everything from wine to bread,” you will not find recipes for dulcamara berries.

The consensus seems to be that all of the parts of the plant are toxic to humans, but you would have to have an unusual appetite to disregard the bitter taste — not to mention the repulsive smell — and eat a quantity large enough to do yourself significant damage.

In contrast, birds eat the berries and spread the seed through regurgitation and defecation, and opossums, bears, muskrats, deer and invertebrates eat either the berries or the vegetative parts.

Dulcamara grows like a vine. A variety of caterpillars feed on its otherwise indistinct leaves, and the holes in the leaves are often the first identifying feature for me. The spring flowers are purple, and are followed by green berries that ripen to a bright red.

The first time I encountered the plant was about 20 years ago, and now I see it almost everywhere. This may be due to the fact that the plant’s berries spread its seeds, but its seeds do not seem to “bank” well in

the soil. In other words, dulcamara’s emergence and spread in an area could become exponential, but only once it establishes a foothold.

Dulcamara also spreads by rhizome and so, although you will find it easy to pull up, you will find it difficult to pull all of it up.

Dulcamara grows as a weed in “disturbed areas,” that is, most typically in areas where humans have cultivated the ground.

On the one hand, these disturbed areas could be abandoned clearings, such as along new roadways or, on the other hand, these disturbed areas could be abandoned landscapes, such as your neighbor’s perennial beds.

In other words, if you have sprouts of dulcamara, you need to get out and weed again. But if you go looking for what used to be your yew hedge and you only find dulcamara, this is a reminder that you forgot to weed last summer.

In this way, we could call dulcamara an “indicator” plant: In the garden it indicates good intentions and failed intentions. And, in contrast to the “fortunate” invasions of your landscape — raspberries and blackberries reward humans for disturbing the soil and then abandoning it — in the case of dulcamara, you should not eat the fruits of your lack of labor.

View a Lunar Eclipse

Keystone College’s Thomas G. Cupillari ’60 Astronomical Observatory will host a viewing of the lunar eclipse on Sunday, Sept. 27. The event will be hosted in conjunction with the Lackawanna Astronomical Society.

The Harvest Moon, which is the closest — and therefore the largest — full moon of the year, will travel through the umbra, the darkest part of the earth’s shadow, and be completely covered.

This event can be seen by anyone who has an open view of the sky and it is not necessary to use a telescope. But for those interested in a closer look, admission to the observatory will be free of charge.

The eclipse begins at 9:07 p.m.; the total eclipse will begins: 10:11 p.m.; the greatest eclipse will take place at 10:47 p.m. The total eclipse ends at 11:23 p.m. and the partial eclipse ends at 12:27 a.m.

Two Sports Working Together Trail sophomore mixes golf and hockey

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

There is nothing unusual about two-sport athletes, but Lackawanna Trail sophomore Andy Faist, now in his second year as a starter on the Lions golf team, is just that.

What’s different is his second sport: he also plays hockey with the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Junior Penguins as the travel team’s goalie.

Harry Powell, Lackawanna Trail golf coach and athletic director, is glad to know Faist is between the posts.

“He’s a goalie, and a good one at that.

Fortunately, that means he’s not slapping the puck too much, so it doesn’t affect his swing,” Powell said with a chuckle.

Faist became a hockey player nearly a decade ago, after a trip to a rink.

“I started playing hockey about eight years ago because I was at an ice rink when I was 7 or 8, and I saw a kid wearing hockey equipment, and I went up to him and asked him how I could join the team,” Faist said.

“The sport really interested me. So I learned how to skate and joined a travel team and picked it up from there.”

He became a goalie partly out of necessity.

“When I was in the third grade, the goalie on my team quit,” Faist said. “We didn’t have a goalie, and if we didn’t, we wouldn’t have a team, so I stepped up and offered to be the goalie, and I’ve stuck with it. I’ve enjoyed it all these years.”

Hockey still remains fun for Faist. But he is entering a busy part of the year when his two sports overlap. Racing from the golf course to the ice rink will be commonplace for him, but he doesn’t mind.

“It’s fun, going from where you are the backbone of a team, trying to help them win, to just playing against yourself,” Faist said.

“I’ve learned a lot about [the mental part of sports].”

The sports Faist plays are very different, but there’s one thing that connects them in

his mind.

“Focus,” he said. “As the goalie, I have to be focused on the puck at all times,” Faist said. “During a golf match, I have to remain focused on what I want to do with my next shot. It also keeps me from getting nervous at key points in the match.”

Part of his training has been at the Birchwood Fitness Gym in Clarks Summit, and he says the workouts have enabled him to build up his body to take on hits from opposing hockey players, as well as hit his driver much further this year.

“I can drive the ball a lot longer this year, and I’m still keeping it in the fairway,” Faist said. “I’ve gained about 50 yards, so I have a lot more confidence in my driver.

“Recently I fixed my short game a lot, and I’m not three-putting any more, and that’s brought down my score a lot. I’ve been keeping the ball in the fairway from the tee box.”

With his increased distance and improved short game, Faist tested himself by playing some top-notch competition over the summer.

“This summer, he played with the USGA, where they can go to different courses,” Powell said. “[Faist] was there all the time and he really worked on his game.”

Family ties have played a role in Faist’s improvement on the golf course.

“One of the biggest inspirations in golf is looking up to my grandfather Bob Parry, who is a member at the Canoe Club and the Country Club of Scranton,” Faist said.

His opening test of his sophomore season for the Lions came at the Jackman Memorial at Scranton Muni, where he put together an 87.

“I was happy with my score. My goal was to shoot a 90, so it was a good day,” Faist said.

After starting every match as a freshman, and leading the Lions in the Jackman to start his sophomore season, Faist can believe that he is a contender to qualify for the District 2 championships. He understands, through his two sports, that his ability to work hard can pay high dividends.
