ABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITOR

Spring is synonymous with both blooms and bargains, as two events happening this Saturday, May 16, in Dalton, prove.

The sixth annual Friends of the Dalton Community Library Herb and Perennial Festival will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dalton Fire Hall, 109 South Turnpike Road.

The event is one of the library’s major fundraisers and has grown annually.

“The herbs sell out every year and we adjust accordingly,” said Janet Geeza. “Each year we have a varied number of baskets for raffle and perennials, so that impacts the sale. Overall,

we have been growing in patronage and, as we improve our sale, each seems more successful than the previous.”

Annual herbs such as basil, dill and parsley, as well as perennial herbs like oregano, lavender, mint, rosemary and sage will be sold. The Penn State Master Gardeners will also be on hand to answer questions about soil, plants, trees, pests and growing conditions. O’Hara Tree Service will also be present to answer landscaping questions.

“Members of the Friends of the Dalton Community Library have donated perennial flowers in the past for the sale,” said Eileen Szymanski. “It has always been a nice, friendly

informative gathering.”

As a part of the event, gardening books will also be available for a donation and perennials

by Cynthia Harrison will also be sold.

Besides the Herb and Perennial Festival, the 14th annual two-mile-long yard sale will also take place in Dalton, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., beginning on North Turnpike Road at the Dalton Pharmacy to the LaPlume Post Office on Route 438. A food and drink tent will be located at 610 North Turnpike Road and will include a bake sale sponsored by the Dalton and Factoryville United Methodist Churches’ joint vacation Bible school.

Both events will be held rain or shine.

A column from the Clarks Summit Shade Tree Commission

by Joshua Arp

SPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Recently, the University of Scranton held several Earth Week celebration activities. I joined the campus Sustainability Club in handing out seedlings obtained from the Arbor Day Foundation. It was my job to discuss the trees, their planting and how to care for them. Looking at what we were handing out — mere twigs packed in green party cups — it was hard to imagine the future of these arboricultural infants. In fact, as a municipal arborist, I have been trained to avoid using trees this small. This is because trees planted in the urban forest face threats too big for seedlings to face, such as vandalism, vehicle traffic, road salt, lawn mowers and string trimmers.

Larger trees have a better chance against such foes.

It was hard for me to imagine these seedlings amounting to much, until someone stopped by and said that his tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) specimen from 10 years ago had now reached a height of 30 feet. I informed him that the tulip tree can grow to more than 100 feet tall. I asked him if the tree had received any pruning. All evening long, as I discussed trees with people, I encouraged them to plan to prune their trees as they grow. Just as it was hard for me to imagine these seedlings as giant trees, it was as hard for the people who would be planting them to imagine that they would need to put these trees on a pruning program.

Little did I know that in just a few

short days, in prominent locations throughout the Abingtons, there would be plenty of evidence that young trees need to be pruned properly. Spring winds produced crown failures in young maples around town. While failures in young trees do not result in injury to persons or property, they are disfiguring to the tree, require cleanup and can be discouraging to otherwise eager tree-planting homeowners.

On the other hand, these blowdowns can be seen as blessings in disguise and they are a warning to the rest of us to prune our young trees. This week, I was visiting with a new customer when I was surprised to see that her prized pear tree had “luckily” survived wind damage for decades.

Luck, however, would not be necessary had the tree been properly pruned when it was young.

Instead, the tree now needs cabling to preserve its balanced crown. Now if the tree fails before I can cable it, it will lose half its crown. In the case of this tree, with half of its crown missing, the customer would probably choose to replace the tree and start over.

So get out now and check your young trees. Look for week “V” joints that will likely fail sooner or later. By pruning weak unions now, you will save yourself financial and aesthetic loss in the future.

2015 Voters’ Guide Editor’s note: The candidate statements that appeared in last issue’s voters’ guide were in response to several weeks of fullpage advertisements in this newspaper, and were submitted by the stated deadline. The following two statements were received after last week’s issue was printed and distributed.

Clerk of Judicial Records DEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICAN Kevin Haggerty There is no greater professional honor than public service. How we arrive, however, is more important than winning itself. I grew up in Dunmore and, today, looking back, I understand the amazing blessing born into my life. My mother and father did not have everything, but my three siblings and I never knew any different. Life was much different back then.

A family could survive on one salary and the family unit was stronger because of it.

I want to change the shape and culture of not only this county but, one day, the culture of this country. I am a graduate of Villanova University and I am a former United States Marine. I served as an inner-city teacher and youthful offender coach/teacher. My days growing up in Dunmore were far different than these boys who were born into strife and, if there is one reason I want to serve the public, it is to make sure that young people have somewhere or someone to turn to.

As a former state representative who had his district gerrymandered away, I had the option to just throw in the towel.

But that’s not who I am, and today I give all the credit to my wife, Jennifer, for standing next to me during those difficult days.

Not only is my wife strong for me, she is also strong in her own professional world and, most of all, in how she raises our young children. I would not be afforded the opportunity to run for office without an even stronger person behind me. I owe so much to my wife, Jennifer.

I believe our communities should be like family. In office, like at home, I want

serve everyone, and never just that small little niche of special interest.

I believe in the words for the people.

They aren’t just words to me. I also wish good luck to everyone participating in the upcoming election on May 19.

Kim Yencho I am Kim Yencho and am a candidate for Lackawanna County Clerk of Judicial Records. I am a graduate of Valley View High School, 1997, attended Lackawanna College 1997-1999, majored in elementary education ,and am currently finishing a bachelor’s degree in law and society from Penn State University. My hometown is Jessup. I currently reside in Jefferson Township for the past two years. My husband is Michael Potter and our son is Caden.

My most recent organizations and experience are as follows: Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee; Lackawanna County Executive Committee; Coaches vs. Cancer NEPA Committee; Community Association Institute; Community Association Membership Committee; lobbyist for Community Association Institute in Harrisburg; Big Bass Lake Community Association committees: Fiscal Committee, Adult Social Activities Committee, Recreation Committee and Strategic Planning Committee; AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) boys’ and girls’ basketball coach; National Leadership Award, Honorary Co-Chairman, Business Advisory Council; Who’s Who Among American College Students; NEPA Top 25 Women in Business; and NCJAA District O women’s college basketball coach of the year.

I hope my background and experience can show the voters that I’m the most qualified candidate for this position. I want to honorably serve the people of this county; therefore, my involvement with various legal documents, administrative experience and a proven track record of being a community leader has prepared me for this duty. If elected, I will insure all documents are being processed the most accurate, cost-effective way for the tax payers of Lackawanna County.

Putting It All Together

Lady Comets’ Alex Gockley excels on softball mound

by Dave Lauriha

ABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

You can’t say that Abington Heights senior Alex Gockley is not a team player.

As a sophomore, Gockley started at second base on the Lady Comets softball team but, in her junior year, she was asked to move to third base.

As a junior, she batted leadoff, but was asked to move down to third in the order this year.

Once again, Gockley made the move not only willingly, but has continued to shine for the Lady Comets, also stepping up to be a leader for a team that finished its Lackawanna League Division I schedule with a 9-4 mark.

“She’s been a very good leader, not only vocally but statistically,” Lady Comets coach John Kelly said. “She’s one of the top hitters in the league, she leads in batting average and leads the league in runs batted in; is second in runs scored and is second in hits. She’s doing a lot.”

It’s the non statistical part of the game where Gockley has tried to make a big impact in driving the team to its record this season.

“Basically, it’s always been a problem with getting the girls to work together, from week to week and being consistent.

We’ve been trying to work on it,” Gockley said. “This year, I took it upon myself, along with the other seniors, to get the

girls to work together more. We’ve had more outings together, trying to get the girls closer, to be able to talk together.

We’ve done a lot of things this year to mesh, and it has resulted in us playing better on the field.”

The ultimate goals are division and District 2 titles, and the Lady Comets figure to be a contender in the tough Class AAA bracket that will also have Division I foes Valley View and Scranton Prep. Togetherness breeds confidence that the team will always have every player’s back.

“They know they can come to the seniors for anything they need and there’s no problem. There is no shyness or anything and they can come to any of us and we’ll all give them help when they need it,” Gockley said.

On the field, Gockley has produced better than she ever has and Kelly is glad to see her talents on display for the Lady Comets. She is a decisive player in the team’s charge at titles.

“We knew she always had this capability, but she’s put it all together this year,” Kelly said. “She’s really done a great job.”

She has shown adaptability in being able to make the change from batting first, where getting on base and scoring runs are key components for success, to third, where Gockley is under the gun to drive in runs powering the ball to all fields.

“We had her as our lead-off hitter last year, but we moved her down to third this year because she’s a gap hitter,” Kelly said. “She hits balls to right-center, leftcenter, so she’s one of our top extra-base hitters and we figured it would be better to move her down the lineup so she’d get an opportunity to drive in more runs and now she’s leading the league with 12 runs batted in, so it was a good move.”

Gockley didn’t mind moving back in the order, because it was done to help the team and that’s the most important aspect for the Lady Comets.

“I prefer batting in the three hole because I like to move runners and I have a better chance of helping the team by moving the runner than me being on myself,” Gockley said.

She has more than fulfilled the hopes that Kelly had for her on the offensive side of the ball, as her statistics show.

The coach has seen her improve quietly, watching her put the ball in play more often than she had been in over the previous two years.

“This year, she’s been more consistent hitting,” Kelly said. “She’s always been a good hitter, but Alex had the tendency to get herself out by swinging at bad pitches. This year, she’s been a lot more selective at the plate, and that’s definitely shown as her batting average is way up there in the league, runs batted in, doubles and hits.”

Gockley’s defensive took awhile to come around this year, no doubt hampered by the late winter weather that forced softball teams to conduct most of their preseason work in the gym, where throwing and fielding ground balls on a smooth surface is about all an infielder can do.

“Defensively, she’s coming along. She had her struggles early in the season when the weather was cold and everybody was struggling, but she’s put it together the last four or five games,” Kelly said. “She’s been solid at third base, which is a difficult position to play.”

Behind the play of Gockley and the rest of the Lady Comets, Abington Heights figures to be in the mix to claim a District 2 Class AAA title, despite all the tough competition the looms ahead.

A victory over Valley View last week in the Lady Comets’ final divisional game has bolstered the team’s confidence, something they will need a lot of to survive a bracket loaded with powerful team. The stakes are high, but the Lady Comets are hitting their peak at the right time of the season, in the playoffs.
