Follow thE trAilS Keystone College’s system to be expanded

by Teri Lyon

SPeCiAL To THe AbinGTon SUbUrbAn Plans are in the works for a new community hiking and biking trail on the campus of Keystone College, largely thanks to a $732,146 grant that the college has received from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

Known as “The Gateway Project,” according to senior director of Keystone College relations Fran Calpin, the new trail on the college campus in La Plume will connect with a 1.5 mile segment of hiking trail known as the Trolley Trail, currently under development. It will also allow more direct access to Keystone College’s seven-mile community-use trail system already in existence.

“We are absolutely honored to receive this grant for the extension of our beautiful trail system,” said Keystone College president Dr. David L. Coppola. “The trails are not only a tremendous campus resource but a resource to be experienced and enjoyed by the entire local commu-

nity. We are proud to partner with our neighbors in Factoryville and La Plume, as well as the Countryside Conservancy, to improve the quality of life for the residents of northeastern Pennsylvania.”

Plans call for a public access hiking/ biking trail to be constructed from College Avenue on the eastern side of campus near the Christy Mathewson Baseball Field to Keystone’s new track and field complex. The trail will then be extended to connect with the Trolley Trail. The new trail will include two trail heads, parking areas and a bike-share program which will enable members of the public to have access to bicycles for use on the trail.

“This trail will serve a gateway to all of Keystone’s outdoor educational and recreational resources, including our extensive trail system, athletic complex, apiary, maple sugar operation, outdoor classrooms, streams, green spaces and more,” Sharon Burke, director of Keystone College Environmental Education Institute (KCEEI), said. “We’re so grateful to PennDot and all those responsible for helping to increase access to our beautiful woodlands campus for the benefit of all.”

The projecis one of 51 transportation statewide projects announced recently

by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards.

Keystone College student Molly Powers enjoys the college’s trail system.

The state projects are in line to receive $33 million in federal funds as part of a program to improve transportation alternatives, according to PennDOT. The Trolley Trail is a critical piece of Countryside Conservancy’s envisioned 14-mile public hiking and biking trail that follows the abandoned Northern Electric Railroad line and which will ultimately run from Clarks Summit to Lake Winola.

“It important to emphasize that the Gateway Project is so much more than just a Keystone College project,” Calpin

said. “It will provide an opportunity for great recreational activities for the entire local community. That’s why we are so delighted and thankful to receive this grant.”

According to Calpin, Keystone’s 276acre campus is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the region. In addition to the new $3 million athletic field and track complex, the campus features a variety of streams and hiking trails which are open to the public. Keystone also offers numerous musical performances, plays, lectures and other public events.

In this photo provided by The Xerces Society, a rusty patched bumble bee collects pollen from a flower.

BumB le Dang er

My friend showed me the best feature of his house, a 600-square-foot lanai, or screened-in patio. With a family of six, the lanai easily accommodates a ping-pong table, lawn chairs, a table with seating for eight, a grill and plenty of room left over for tricycle traffic and lawn toys. And just yards away, a fairway spans the entire view.

But he had another creative addition to show me. In each outside corner, was a landscape cut-out in which he had recently planted citrus trees. The trees, he informed me, were self-pollinating, so he would not need to bring in bees.

Was he correct? Self-pollinating trees still need pollination — moving pollen from flower to flower to produce fruit.

The trees, however, can be pollinated from their own flowers. They do not need pollen from other trees. So, to pollinate these trees without the use of bees, he would need to move pollen manually around all the flowers of his trees, once per week until the flowers are gone.

Sound like a lot of work? Imagine if he had moved an orchard “indoors”!

Do you like orange juice? Without the help of bees, 90 percent of orange pollination would be missing. But what do we use oranges for other than juice and table fruit? We could probably adjust.

Pizza and pasta, on the other hand, would be a different story. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) reports that tomatoes — think about all that sauce — are primarily dependent on bumble bees for their insect pollina-

tion. Because of their role pollinating crops like tomatoes, these bumble bees provide a significant amount of the labor force in a $3 billion U.S. industry.

(Imagine the price of pizza if all tomatoes had to be pollinated with Q-tips!)

Yet, the USFWS reports that since the 1990s, the population of the rusty patched bumble bee has declined 87 percent, including possible extinction in 15 states of its original 28-state range.

Because of this decline, as of last week, the rusty patched bumble bee is now the first bee of any kind in the lower 48 states to be declared endangered.

Pennsylvania is one of the 13 states in which the rusty patched bumble bee continues to labor. The USFWS lists four steps you can take to help pay this laborer’s bills: 1: Grow something, even on your deck. 2: When you grow, grow something native. 3: Don’t mow everything — leave some areas alone, and 4: Limit the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizer whenever possible or avoid them entirely.

These chemicals can persist in the soil and bumble bees, since they nest in the ground, are especially susceptible.

What is good for the rusty patched bumble bee is good for you too. Or did you want to trade a perfect lawn for pizza and flowers?

HealtH Risks: W H en to Wo RRy? We all worry. We worry about shark attacks when at the beach, terrorists when at the airport, food poisoning at the salad bar. And we worry about being sick; we worry about ebola, zika and cancer.

“Risk” is the chance that something bad will happen. But it does not mean something will happen.

Risks are certainly everywhere and can be hard to understand. Health risks can especially seem confusing. Because making any healthcare decision involves balancing the possible risks and benefits it is important to understand what those benefits and risks are.

A health risk is the chance that something will affect your health. Just like any risk, a health risk does not mean you will get the illness. It is just a possibility.

Dr. William Elwood at the National Institute of Health (NIH) states that understanding health risks is key to making the best health care decision.

He also remarks that our understanding of risk is sometimes irrational; and we worry about something that is extremely unlikely yet do little to prevent what’s more likely to harm us, like colon cancer.

Understanding risk when talking about our health requires math and math can be intimidating. According to the NIH studies show that the way numbers making up risk are presented affect how we understand them.

To understand the potential risks or benefits of a treatment, it helps to focus on “absolute risk.” Absolute risk is the chance of something happening, such as a health problem that might arise over a period of time. For example, a disease might affect 2 in 100 middle-aged men over their lifetimes.

If a certain drug lowers their risk for the disease to 1 in 100, the drug has reduced their absolute risk by 1 person in 100, or 1 percent. Another way to think of it is that you’d need to treat 100 people with this medicine to prevent just 1 additional person from getting the disease.

Often, however, you might hear numbers that use a related concept called “relative risk.” Relative risk compares the absolute risks of one group to an-

other. In the example above, you could also say that the drug reduced the risk of disease by 50 perccent, since 1 is half of 2. Looking at relative risk alone, you may mistakenly think that the drug is highly effective. The relative risk sounds much greater than the absolute risk.

When you hear numbers about risk, it’s best to focus on the absolute risk.

Balancing the benefits and risks in order to make a healthcare decision can seem overwhelming especially when faced with a serious illness. Start by speaking with your healthcare provider about your health risks.

The following are some examples of questions when asking your healthcare provider about your health risks: • What are my personal health risks?

Are these risks over my lifetime or over a shorter period?

• What steps can I take to reduce my health risks? (such as through exercise or a healthy diet)?

• What are my options? (for treatments, screening tests, or making healthy changes)?

• What will the results of this test or therapy tell us about my risks?

• What are possible benefits and side effects? What are the chances these might affect me?

Speak up if there’s something you don’t understand. It’s the health care provider’s job to explain health risks in a way that makes sense to you.

‘Lock ’ em Up’ Day

Clarks Summit Borough officials recently recognized Lackawanna County president Judge Michael Barrasse and Thomas Carter, community service coordinator for the Lackawanna County Treatment Court, for both the outstanding community service activities performed by treatment court participants for various projects throughout the borough and the overall operation of the organization.

From left: Patrick Williams, Clarks Summit borough councilman; Carter; Gerrie Carry, Clarks Summit borough council president; Barrasse; and Herman Johnson, Clarks Summit borough mayor.

Recognizing the extreme importance of proper disposal and storage of prescription drugs, the Lackawanna County commissioners participated in “Lock ‘Em Up Day” in the community. Access to opioids and other medication has become a state and national epidemic and has caused thousands of deaths. This campaign, involving the medical and law enforcement communities, schools, treatment facilities and the general public, is designed to promote how to properly secure, store or dispose of medication and highlight local take-back programs.

From left: William Hoban, director of the Lackawanna/Susquehanna Office of Drug and Alcohol Programs; dommissioner Patrick M. O’Malley, commissioner Laureen A. Cummings, Lackawanna County district attorney Shane Scanlon, state Rep. Karen Boback and Lackawanna County president judge Michael J. Barrasse.
