Green Scene: Leaf Planting Here in late August, with many of us already back in school — already! — some of us may be starting to think about leaf clean-up. And invariably, when we go through a hot dry spell, like we have recently, some of us start to ask whether the dry spell has caused early leaf drop.

Well, I cannot answer questions about the relationship between dry spells and the progress of senescence for leaves, but I can present a few anecdotal observations after professionally removing leaves for the better part of three decades.

1. NEPA peak foliage viewing always

125 GALLON MINIMUM DELIVERY (PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

occurs in the vicinity of Oct. 10. I think it no coincidence that the homecoming for Baptist Bible College (now Summit University) has always been on a Saturday closest to this date.

2. The majority of the leaves will still be on the trees during the peak. (This means that the majority of your raking will not be until late October.

3. Ash trees drop their leaves before the peak, in late September. (This means that if you live in College Park in Clarks Green — where there are a majority of ash trees lining the streets — you will need to rake your leaves in early October.

4. Norway maples, oaks and fruit trees are the latest trees to turn color and drop their leaves. The Norway maples will turn and drop first, and you will be able to clean these up just before Thanksgiving.

5. London plane trees and sycamores have a false autumn, and they drop brown leaves beginning in August. Yet excepting the ongoing mess — these are messy

trees with dust, shedding bark and the protracted leaf drop — these trees will keep most of their leaves and their color until just after the peak. (These messy trees are also some of the toughest urban species, offsetting their messy liability).

6. The peak indeed can move one way or the other due to seasonal climate issues. However, the official peak never seems to adjust more than one week in either direction, and with the variety of species in NEPA, you might not even notice since we always have at least a full month of some level of fall color.

Now, in planning for leaf removal, what can you do now to make your job easier? The best suggestion I can make is to avoid putting leaves in bags. This is the most difficult and frustrating way of disposing of leaves. Instead, if possible, find a place on your property to pile your leaves. Build a simple containment system, and refill every year. (We used to pile one customer’s leaves eight feet high every fall only to find it reduced by snow weight each spring to 18 inches). Then, after a couple of years harvest the returns of the carbon cycle at the bottom of the pile.

New Faces, Old Hands Trail football begins rebuilding

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

Graduation took its toll on the Lackawanna Trail football program.

Just a few weeks back, five Lions participated for the County in the annual Dream Game, which showed just how much talent would be leaving the program.

Despite all those losses and having a small roster, Lions head coach Steve Jervis believes that his team will battle through the upheaval and be a factor in the chase of the Lackawanna Football Conference Division IV title.

“We have a lot of new faces, especially on the offensive side of the ball, and it’s going to come down to a mix of senior leadership, we have some very good seniors working really hard, and some young kids,” Jervis said. “Although we have a lot of experience, we don’t have many starters back.”

Jervis is counting on his players’ familiarity with the Wing-T offense to help speed the maturing process of the team.

The quicker the Lions can play, the better, in Jervis’ mind.

“If we stick to our system, the Wing-T, we can play fast, understand our assignments, we can be effective on the offensive side of the ball,” Jervis said.

The coach has a bit more confidence on his defense, which may be strong enough to keep the Lions in games on nights when the offense struggles.

“The defense could be a strength. We have two good athletes in the secondary, and we have a new player working in there as well,” Jervis said. “Our defensive line, we have a lot of good size up front, and some experience there. It’s going to come down to getting up to game speed as quickly as possible.”

The coach was able to find ways of getting the younger players in the program time on the field with the varsity last year, and not just because that game was out of hand. More importantly, it gave those less experienced players the opportunity to get the feel on being on the field in front

of fans, having expectations and responsibilities placed on their shoulders. There is nothing like doing something in a game situation, because it is hard to duplicate the pressure of a game during the week in practice.

“We didn’t play a lot of JV games, but there were a couple situations where we were able to get some quality reps (repetitions) for the younger kids,” Jervis said. “Even though our roster, although there isn’t a lot of quantity there, there are quality kids, kids who understand the Trail football tradition.

“We always have to have a clear thought process on every snap, and playing fast, and if we can do those two things, we can be in the mix.”

It will be difficult to play fast without the ball, so Jervis is hoping the defense handles the job of stopping opponents early, to force as many punts or turnovers as they can, to get the ball to the offense.

“Defensively, getting people off the field on third down is one thing,” Jervis said. “One thing we wanted to improve upon from last year is winning third down. Red zone defense is always another big concern.”

When the offense has the ball, Jervis will be looking for his quarterback to move the team, either junior Tyler Baltrusaitis or freshman Nathan Rolka.

“Having a new quarterback, early on, executing the offense will take away some of that pressure on that position,” Jervis said. “Play actions, some easy reads for our quarterbacks, trying to keep the defense off balance.”

When Baltrusaitis is not the quarterback, the junior will be a wide receiver as Jervis knows he needs to keep one of his best athletes on the field at all times.

Junior Matt Bergey should be the other wide receiver while senior Steven Scioscia is the tight end.

Behind the quarterback will be senior tailback Rocco Pacini, junior fullbacks Thomas Huffsmith and James Gillespie, and wingback Anthony Berrios.

The secondary features Baltrusaitis and Bergey at the corners, with sophomore Quinn Jagoe the safety.

This team, with its relative youth and inexperience, could suffer some early growing pains making up from the losses of last year’s seniors, especially the two-year starters that eventually wound up being invited to play in the Dream Game last month. But Jervis, starting his seventh season as the Lions head coach, knows he has players that have done nothing but play his system at Lackawanna Trail, and hopes that will limit the number of mistakes his younger players may make along the way.

Although some requests might seem smaller in scope, Conlon said the impact on the patient can be just as large.

“The request can be very simple,” she said.

SPECIAL TO THE SUBURBAN

“Unfortunately when he passed, his mother didn’t have money for a funeral, so we were able to accommodate her and help her. The patient was gone, the patient had passed, but we were still able to help the family, which is something we like to do as well.”

Support for the tournament came directly from the community, from prizes such as gift cards and certificates, to supplies for the event, to the luncheon at Rossi’s, featuring entertainment by John Quinn.

“It’s all donations from area businesses,” said Conlon. “A lot of them, when they heard what we were doing, never even questioned it. They heard about it and they were more than happy to help. Weiss in Clarks Summit, the corporate office donated $100 so we could get some supplies like hamburgers and hot dogs, Sams Club in Dickson City donated $25, and a bunch of the local grocery stores are donating food. It’s really a community effort as well. We’re thrilled with that, we’re very grateful to have the community we have. I’m from Archbald, so I’m from the community, and I’ve never been happier from the amazing support we’re getting.”

Conlon said the turnout for the event is looking positive, though the organizers don’t quite know what to expect when all is said and done.

compare it to anything,” she said. “We’re kind of just going by the seat of our pants — my husband is a big golfer, and he has planned tournaments before, so he’s been helping with a lot of insight on different aspects of things to do, things to ask. As of right now, we have 48 golfers in four-person teams signed up, but there are more coming, more calling, and we expect some to show up on the day of the tournament. Hopefully we’ll get a nice turnout.”

With support from the local community and businesses, Hospice Advantage seeks to make the Angels on the Green fundraiser a regular event to support the Hospice Angels foundation.

“It’s to benefit patients who are terminally ill who have one last wish,” said Conlon. “If we grant it for them, that’s so much satisfaction for us and shows us that we’re doing our jobs. We’re not only making them comfortable physically, but mentally it gives them a sense of happiness, even if it’s for that brief moment. It gives us a sense of gratification, too — you get to see the patient happy, you get to see them smile. Something as simple as a cheesecake to someone who got to see their daughter. To them, it’s a big thing — it puts a lot in perspective.”
