We’ve entered the time of year I like to call “Sprinter.” That’s part spring, part winter. Sprinter. It usually arrives in Northeast Pennsylvania around the same time as the Scranton St. Patrick’s Parade, and this year is no exception. I spent my Saturday morning and early afternoon riding (and for a short time walking) in the parade with Times-Shamrock Communications, and was happy to find early-on that there was no need for the winter jacket I brought with me. Despite the small piles of snow still adorning many of the sidewalks, the sun added just enough warmth to the Sprinter air to be comfortable in a sweatshirt. Some people in the crowd even appeared content in their green T-shirts. After the parade, I parted ways with the downtown city crowds and retreated back to the Abingtons for a brisk Sprinter walk at South Abington Park. Seeking some peace and quiet, I crossed the first bridge and took the dirt path that veers off to the left, away from the more populated paved trail. The ground was the epitome of Sprinter: a mix of mud and slush. But it wasn’t the ground I was interested in; it was the tree branches and, more importantly, what might be in them. You see, my favorite Sprinter activity is birdwatching. Actually, that’s one of my favorite yearround activities. But in the Sprintertime, it’s different. In Sprinter, it’s about looking for a sign of hope, a sign of spring. I’m referring, of course, to robins. In the words of songwriter Harry Woods: Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours I’m just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin’ When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin’ along Unlike the false hope perpetuated by that liar and trickster, the groundhog, the hope presented by the “red, red robin” hasn’t failed me yet. And so, every Sprinter, I fervently watch and wait for its first appearance. I’m sad to report I did not see any robins on my Saturday afternoon walk at South Abington Park. The only bird I spotted was a Please see Robin, Page 5

Family nutrition
Nutrition should be a priority in your family any time of the year, but since March is National Nutrition Month, it’s a good time to take a look at what your family is eating and how they are eating. Almost everyone these days knows that whole foods are healthiest and processed foods are a no-no. But it’s a lot easier to put fresh foods on the table in the summer from our own vegetable gardens or from Abingtonarea farmers who have individual roadside stands or co-op stands at places like Hillside Park. Even though we’re craving that juicy beefsteak tomato or corn on the cob that we love in August, the fact that it’s March and there’s snow on the ground isn’t permission for unhealthy eating. We are fortunate that our supermarkets and specialty stores in and around Clarks Summit offer fresh
organic foods all year long. However, it is not enough to serve nutritious food. Good eating habits are just as important as the food itself. For our active Abington families, being on the go is the rule rather than the exception. But there is still hope for healthy eating without putting too much work into it. In my family, we have always lived by two rules: Make sure everybody has breakfast, and eat dinner together as a family as much as possible. If your kids go to school on an empty stomach, they won’t be able to concentrate as well. If, for some reason, they miss the chance for breakfast at home, the Abington Heights schools offer a breakfast option. Eating dinner together can be a challenge. If your family is like mine was, everybody is off in different directions at 6 p.m. But making an effort is
worth it. When my family slowed down long enough to sit down, chew their food properly, and savor the meal – and each other’s company – their healthy days outnumbered their sick days. And their emotional health was better, too. Since I’ve been a working mom most of my life, I learned to often prepare meals ahead of time on weekends that we could reheat at dinner time during the week. And, letting the kids participate in food prep helped them enjoy their food more and learn more about healthy meal choices – in addition to helping their tired mom. Here are some other nutritious ideas from familydoctor.org: ■ Serve food in small portions. ■ Reward children with praise, not food. ■ Do not demand or reward “a clean plate.” Let your children ask for more
if they are still hungry. ■ Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Aim for a total of 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables each day. ■ Eat more whole grains. Examples include oats, brown rice, rye and wholewheat pasta. Try to eat at least three ounces of whole grains each day. ■ Drink plenty of fluids. Choose water, low-fat or nonfat milk and low-calorie beverages. ■ Read nutrition labels. ■ Bake, broil or grill foods. ■ Avoid cooking with butter or vegetable oil. Use healthier versions like olive, canola or sunflower oil. ■ Choose snacks that provide nutrients and energy. ■ Ask your doctor about vitamin supplements for you and your children.

A bonnie good time at First Presbyterian CLARKS SUMMIT — One week before Saint Patrick’s Day, the Irish group Poor Man’s Gambit performed at the First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit as part of the Arts at First Presbyterian Concert Series. Maureen McGuigan, deputy director of arts and culture for Lackawanna County, opened the evening by saying that Irish music “speaks to our emotion and being human on a visceral level.” Poor Man’s Gambit, comprised of Corey Purcell, Deirdre Lockman and Frederico Betti, were well received at their first appearance as part of the concert series. The group is based in the Lehigh Valley area. Although Purcell and Lockman are from Pennsylvania, Betti was raised in Milan, Italy and spent time in Ireland. The group performed a variety of pieces. Playing everything from an original waltz, and spirited jigs and reels, to popular Irish tunes like “Rocky Road to Dublin,” Poor Man’s Gambit entertained the audience. Beautiful harmonies elevated modern folk song, “Bees Wing,” and the sweet sound and lyrics of ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ wooed listeners: Oh the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? And we’ll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? Based on the poem, ‘The Braes o’ Balquhither’ by Scottish poet, Robert Tannahill, the song became a traditional tune in the 19th century and was adapted and recorded by Francis McPeake, an Irish performer, in the 1950s. Upbeat percussive tunes such as Poor Man’s Gambit original, “The Nickel Plated Shoe,” chased away the winter blues at the March 10 concert and soon feet were tapping and hands were clapping along. Jim Parks drove from Plymouth to hear the group perform. “I enjoyed the quality of musicianship,” Parks said. “They are all very good instrumentalists. I especially enjoyed the Cape Breton piece.” “I thought they were fantastic,” said Linda Orcutt of Clarks Summit. “It makes you want to get up and dance.” The performers used various instruments interchangeably, showing their mastery of the button
accordion, guitar, cittern, bodhran and fiddle. The audience was delighted as each piece held layers of sound and surprise. Purcell switched it up a bit and performed an Irish dance, with high step foot action that had the crowd clapping along. “They were lively. We loved their selections and reels,” said Terry Elechko. “I enjoyed the dancing.” “It was a bonnie good time,” said Linda Mennicucci. “It was perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day. I really enjoyed it. It was like a warm cup of coffee.” “I’m really grateful for the arts program here and the concerts they bring in,” said Margie Kauffman. “When I saw that this concert was Celtic music, I had to be here. It was delightful. I looked around and people were smiling ear to ear.” Larry Kauffman agreed, “This kind of music, and this group especially, reminds you what it means to be a human being.” Poor Man’s Gambit ended the evening with “Mormond Braes” and a standing ovation. The concert series will continue with “Finger Painting: Jazz of Herbie Hancock” performed by Bill Carter and the Presbybop Sextet on April 7. An afternoon classical violin concert by John Michael Vaida scheduled on May 19 will close the season. Admission to the concerts is free, supported by individual donations and grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Lackawanna County Community Arts and Culture Department.

Plates and Palettes coming up DALTON — The community is invited to enjoy art and desserts at the third annual Plates and Palettes, to be held Sunday, March 31 from 2-4:30 p.m. at the Dalton Fire Company, 109 South Turnpike Road. “I attended a craft show at the Dalton Fire Company and thought this would be a good place to see our artwork and have a show,” said Phyllis Rennie, artist and organizer of the event. “People can come to the art show, visit with their friends and neighbors, see the art and have something to eat.” Rennie said she’s been painting for 45 years. “A friend was painting and I wanted to do it,” she said. “I have met other people at art shows who painted and we became friends. We like to visit together and paint. You get very emotional and expressive. It brings beauty to my corner of the world.” She took lessons from Charlotte Dickson, who is a member of the Ameri-
can Impressionist Society. One artist participating with Rennie in the event is Maryann Williams. “I was in high school and my art teacher said I had potential,” Williams said. “Life got busy and I did not do anything with art until 30 years later.” She started painting in 2002, when a friend invited her to join a group of women who were painting with watercolors at a church. “I got hooked,” she said. “I have participated in the show the last two years and will participate this year. I am more of a hobbyist painter and love it immensely.” She, along with others, took lessons from Raquel Sweeny at Mountain View High School. The group met for a couple weeks twice a year. Williams’ medium of choice is watercolor, but she has also used oil and acyclic. She has painted flora, landscapes and historical buildings including
area train stations – even ones that no longer stand. Those were painted from pictures. Another artist, Jude Youshock, will participate in the show for the second time. “I paint with watercolor, but also use batik, a kind of wax,” Youshock said. “I started painting in 1985 and took lessons from Renee Emanuel. Youshock is a board member of the Afa Gallery. He paints landscapes and still life. “I had started a business and needed a way to relax,” he said. “Art has been a good balance in my life.” Other artists participating in the show include: Maryann Polanichka, Edie Suydam, Estelle Kelly, Pat Knecht, Anne Shiner, Diane Stizza, Christine Goodwick and Carol Matheson, all members of Martins Creek Gallery. The Dalton Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary participates in events throughout the year including the
borough’s Memorial Day parade, hose shows and a fall craft fair. “They also help out with the Dalton Fire Company carnival and provide food to the fire company if they have responded to a big fire,” said Gail Van Fleet, ladies auxiliary vice president. “My friend was a member of the auxiliary. I was not a member, but I was helping out at events and then decided to join. “Everything the auxiliary does supports the fire company. Whatever the fire company needs, we try to help them out.” The group’s members will offer baked goods and beverages at the art show. Admission and refreshments are free and the artist’s will offer pieces for sale. Donations will be accepted to benefit the Dalton Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary.

Spring cleaning We almost made it. March did come in like a lion, but there is a lamb around the corner. And it certainly seems like the lamb gets smaller every year. We trade the heat bill immediately for the air conditioner. Now I have been doing spring clean-ups for more than 30 years, and there is a bit of a surprising reality about spring clean-ups: the longer you wait to do it, the less it seems to need it. In other words, by the end of May, the grass is high, and the new leaves are all out. So regular mowing cleans up a lot of mess on the lawn, and the leaves hide the mess in the thickets, and it seems like spring clean-up is no longer needed. Nevertheless, even though I know this, in the 4-8 week window while the green is replacing the brown, there is something compelling about a combed lawn and spotless beds. Even though we know it’s not true, it feels like we can hasten spring’s arrival by cleaning our lawns. At least we can feel like we are ready for the season when it comes. So what chores should we do? First, since winter came so early last fall, many latefalling leaves are pressed into the grass. By harboring disease or simply by smothering the grass, the leaves can damage the appearance of your lawn and should be removed. While you are working in the lawn, picking up sticks can make the lawn safer for you and your lawnmower. In the beds, to me it is obvious that unshredded leaves look out of place no matter if your beds are mulched or not. Red mulch is bad enough, but red mulch partially cov-

Abington Community Library Patron of the Month Jim Kalp Why did you visit the library today? I came to the library as a volunteer for the Friends of the Abington Community Library. I go through the books, DVDs and CDs that are donated by library patrons and sort the items to get ready for the Friends’ book sales. The next book sale will be on Saturday, March 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Clarks Summit United Methodist Church. When you’re not volunteering, do you like to read? Yes, I enjoy reading historical fiction and spiritual books. I also like the “Hangman’s Daughter” series by Oliver Potzsch. What are you reading now? Currently, I’m reading “Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom: Ethan Allen’s Green Mountain Boys and the American Revolution” by Christopher Wren.

An example of what a lawn should look like after spring maintenance. ered with dead leaves is the worst look. Spring is also the last chance to do your fall cutting. Cut your ornamental grasses before the new growth mixes with the old. Rake or cut out the old perennials. Prune your late-flowering hydrangeas and roses of Sharon, and take a look at your trees and hedges. If any repair pruning is needed, thinning or otherwise, do it now, and give it the full growing season to recover. Lawn fertilizing is a tossup. Too much forced growth will compromise the roots going into summer’s heat. But having a thick turf early can reduce newly emergent weeds. Organic’s slow release is the perfect balance.
What about thatching? First, a lawn fertilized and maintained organically – including one that gets no fertilizer – should not need dethatching. The microbial population should prevent thatch build-up. But for a lifeless, chemical lawn, a thatch layer of more than one-half inch should be removed. The photos paint a compelling, before-andafter vision. My organic lawn has no thatch, but I cannot resist the combed look, so mow-raking is on my to-do list.

Lady Comets’ season ends in PIAA first round BY JOBY FAWCETT STAFF WRITER
SCRANTON — Just when it appeared Abington Heights would take a final step out of a deep hole, it just could not finish the comeback. Instead, Mechanicsburg slammed the door and powered its way into the second round of the PIAA Class 5A girls basketball playoffs. By stonewalling Abington Heights’ best threat and controlling final 11 minutes, the Wildcats posted a 48-27 win last Saturday night at the Insalaco Arena on the campus of Marywood University. Talia Gilliard paced a balanced attack with 14 points for Mechanicsburg (21-6). The Lady Comets end the season with a 20-6 record. “I want to credit them. We were expecting that, but it’s different when you are in the game situation,” Abington Heights coach Deanna Klingman said. “With this experience, I feel our team is going to grow a lot.” Abington Heights struggled early coping both with the pressure of the state playoffs and the intensity it faced from Mechanicsburg, the sixth-place team from District 3. In a sluggish first half, the Lady Comets trailed, 21-11, and had 13 turnovers while shooting 3 of 10. “Their pressure and a little bit of a lack of focus by us in the first half,” Klingman said. “I thought, defensively, we played well overall in the first half.” Abington Heights, which starts all underclassmen, came out roaring in the third quarter and closed to within 25-21 with 3:52 on the clock. Erin Albright fueled the surge with a pair of free throws and a layup, while Clair Marion started it with a bucket, Anna Scoblick had a free throw and Rachel McDonald had a 3-pointer for the Lady Comets. “I challenged them at halftime,” Klingman said. “We had a good first four minutes and cut into the lead. But, we just didn’t shoot the ball well and you have to shoot the ball well now.” Mechanicsburg called a timeout and settled down. Allison Schrass, who finished with five points and six rebounds, hit a pair of free throws that started a domi-
nant 5-minute stretch by the Wildcats. Rylee Everett, who finished with 12 points, scored seven, including a 3-pointer and two on an of fensive rebound that pushed the lead to 34-21 with 6:30 left in the fourth quarter. Abington Heights did not score its next field goal until the 1:25 mark of the fourth on a layup by Arla Davis, scoring only on four free throws from Scoblick. By that time, the Lady Comets trailed, 43-22. “I told them that they did exactly what we wanted them to do in the first four minutes of the half, but you have to continue to make shots and we did not,” Klingman said. Mechanicsburg closed the game with a 5-0 run as Maddie Hurst scored three and Jenna Skurcenski had two. Albright finished as the leading scorer for Abington Heights with seven points, while McDonald had six and Marion had five with six rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks. “This is a young group,” Klingman said. “We worked a lot in the offseason, so I know what they are capable of, and I know they are capable of playing a lot better than they did. “I think you are going to see a lot of kids working very hard in this offseason for another shot.” Contact the writer: jbfawcett@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9125; @sportsTT on Twitter Mechanicsburg (21-6) — T.

As far back as to when they were barely steady enough to walk, Conor Newman and Isabel Keating put on skis and hit the slopes. They have come a long way. Both are intense competitors representing Elk Mountain Ski Club and ear ned their way onto the Pennsylvania team that will compete at the Easter n Finals at Gore Mountain in New York on March 21-24. At the recent Pennsylvania Alpine Racing Association Derby at Elk Mountain, Newman, a senior at Abington Heights, closed out with a fourth-place finish while Keating, a junior at Mountain View, finished the racing season third overall. The girls with the top five point totals and the top eight boys in the U19 Cup Standings were chosen to represent Pennsylvania in the finals. At Elk Mountain, Keating scored 45 points on her first giant slalom run, but bounced back with 80 on her second, and finished with 100 points on the slalom. It gave her a six-race season total score of 470. Anna McDer mott, a Pittston Area graduate, also of the Elk Mountain
Ski Club, won with a total Cup series score of 585 points. It is the third straight year for Newman, who was the 2017 champion, and a third-place finisher last season. “This year wasn’t up to my expectations, because I previously won,” Newman said. “I took a couple of crashes in the first two races and that made it much harder for me. I ke pt fighting, but I always want to be on top of the podium.” The Pennsylvania Cup Series consists of eight races, including the three held at Elk Mountain from March 1-3. Athletes have timed runs in the giant slalom and the slalom, and are awarded points for their finish. B o t h r a c e s, h oweve r, emphasize the technical aspect of skiing rather than speed. The giant slalom challenges skiers with a greater distance between the gates. Each competitor takes two runs for each race with one having changes to the course. For Newman, it has been an up-and-down season. He started with a couple of crashes in the slalom at Seven Springs Mountain and at Elk, he did not finish his second giant slalom run. Overall, though, New-
man had a six-race total score of 335 to finish fifth in the Cup standings. Duncan Bedell of the Ski Round Top Race Club, last year’s champion, finished first overall with 740 points. “I skied well and the kid who won the state, just beat me by two tenths of a second,” Newman said. “The slope isn’t that long, so the times were very close. I was happy with how I skied.” Newman, 18, who also began at 2 years old and spent time playing soccer, golf, baseball and football with the Comets, w i l l b e at t e n d i n g t h e University of Utah where he will study finance and continue his skiing career. “Skiing is definitely my favorite sport,” Newman said. “My mom (Mindi) and dad (Bruce) took me to the mountain and I always wanted to go back. You go fast and the cold air on your face, I just love being out on the slope. There is a real feeling of freedom when you are out there. “I’m looking forward to the championships. It’s always g reat going up there and meet kids who share the same passion for skiing that you have. I take pride in it. It’s fun.” Contact the writer: jbfawcett@timesshamrock.com
