Celebrating summer
Blakely Borough plans seventh annual JuneFest BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR
Sometimes you just want to throw a party. No reason for it. No special occasion. Sometimes you just like to get together on a warm summer evening, have some refreshments, enjoy some music and generally unwind after a busy work week. That is pretty much what Blakely Borough Mayor Jeanette Acciare-Mariani had in mind, back in 2013, when she cooked up JuneFest. Now, it’s a summertime tradition in Blakely, though the mayor would love to see more people attend. The party this year will be on Friday and Saturday, June 21-22, 5-11 p.m. at Ritz Tech, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Peckville (behind Joe Beerman). There will be food, beverages and games for kids. Friday will feature a firefighters parade (those participating in it should assemble at 6 p.m. at the Cougar Stadium parking lot) that will step off at 6:30 p.m. The band Kartune will perform beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday will include music by the band Bliss and fireworks at dusk. The rain date for the fireworks is Sunday, June 23. “As Mayor, I noticed that Blakely/ Peckville did not have a yearly event for recreation for its residents,” recalled Acciare-Mariani. “I got together with a few people and had our recreation committee

A firefighters parade is scheduled for Friday, beginning at 6:30 p.m. put together this event. After much consideration, we named it Blakely/Peckville JuneFest.” Admission to the event is free, and the mayor hopes you’ll pay a visit. “We are working hard for our residents to have recreation,” she said. “We provide a firefighters parade and free entertainment.” The fireworks are paid for jointly by the recreation committee and by the borough itself. “I’m asking residents to please support efforts by attending. Come to our parade and fireworks display instead of watching from your porch or a nearby road.”

How To Feel Terrific While Traveling
FOR MEN & WOMEN
Don’t suffer from sciatica during those summer road trips you are planning. Even though traveling can be fun and exciting, it can be stressful and painful when you are out of alignment and have nerve irritation. It’s not uncommon for sciatic to flare up during these times. Sitting for long periods of time will increase the pressure in your lower back and cause pain down your leg. The shooting pain of sciatica responds very well to Chiropractic care. Let us help take the pressure off your spine that is! Schedule your Chiropractic exam and get adjusted before you pack your bags. We have appointments available from 8am to 6:30pm and Saturday mornings too. If you or someone you know has been told that surgery is your only option, talk to us first. And - thank you for your referrals to our practice.

Grocery delivery BY ED E ROGERS For The AdvAnTAge
The supermarkets and big box stores are making a big thing these days about delivery of groceries ordered on the internet. Believe me, home delivery of grocery orders is nothing new. The practice just has been out of vogue for a half-century or more. Before supermarkets came on the scene, there were maybe as many as 40 locally-owned neighborhood grocery stores in Carbondale. The larger ones provided delivery and didn’t charge for it. I can remember some of those stores, most of all Geary’s at Canaan and Belmont streets. I remember because I worked there before deciding that newswriting not packing groceries was my calling. Fred Hauenstein had a store at the top of Canaan Street, G.W. Reynolds held forth on Lincoln Avenue near the post office and O.D. Reese’s was on Belmont Street a couple of blocks beyond Geary’s. Ray and Grace Eathorne had a store at the foot of Darte Avenue; B. Burke’s was on South Main Street, and Fotia’s was on the west side. Some national chains were represented, too. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. (known universally as “the A&P”) had several stores in town, all of them with bright red fronts. The one I remember was at Lincoln Avenue and Church Street. American Stores, with their exteriors painted yellow, had a market on Salem Avenue next to the Liberty Bank. There also were a lot of what we today call “convenience stores,” which stocked bread and milk and personal items such as cigarettes and cigars. I can’t forget the butcher shops like Ted Quinlan’s in the same building as Mae Geary Bell’s, Lucas Gardner’s and Johnny Gilgallon’s were among them. What got this opus started was the ads, both print and on the internet, in which the big stores have been advertising delivery to homes and even to cus-
tomers waiting outside in their cars. “You can shop from the couch or on the go,” one chain proclaims. When I worked at Geary’s, of course, there was no internet, but there was the telephone and Mae Geary Bell with her three-by-five-inch pad, on which she wrote orders given her by customers. The only problem: Her penmanship left a lot to be desired. The big rush started early Friday mornings and continued all day and into Saturday morning. Clerks did their best to decipher Mrs. Bell’s writing as they placed the ordered items in cardboard boxes for delivery in the store’s panel truck. There was another phase to the free delivery — one or two items needed by customers living within walking distance of the store. I made many trips up the Canaan Street hill with a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, etc. In those days, the delivery service truly was free. There were no hidden costs. The price for items on Mrs. Bell’s order pad was the same as any customer who walked into the store would have paid — cash or charge. That apparently isn’t the situation today. In some instances there are membership dues, delivery charges and minimum costs per order. If you are interested in more details, check the internet. I checked and, among other things, found that one delivery service packs orders in recyclable, insulated bags that guarantee freshness for up to three hours. Guess that beats cardboard boxes. Orders placed via the internet are easier to read than those on Mrs. Bell’s order pads with number two pencils and a difficult-to-read style of penmanship. A lot of things have changed in 70 or 75 years. ed e rogers is a Carbondale native who spent 70 years as a reporter and editor for regional newspapers. he frequently shares his memories of his home town with Advantage readers. he can be reached at ederogers@aol.com.

Green S cene BY JOSHUA ARP For The Triboro banner
The downside of managing urban trees is that sometimes trees have to come down. So you might have chipped up the branches to use them as mulch (just like dyed mulch, it’s not good to use fresh chips as garden mulch because it slows plant growth down). You might use the rest for firewood— hopefully someone can use the trunk as lumber. But what will you do about the stump? In Clarks Summit, we have a shade tree commissioner who is rightly concerned about blighting a community by leaving big stumps in the right-of-way. We wrote our tree ordinance to require all street trees to be cut to one inch above the grade. Relatively speaking, a one-inch high stump is not much of an eyesore. But many tree guys routinely leave six-inch-high stumps, and this is a different story. (Beyond laziness, these tree guys don’t want ground contact to dull their chains. But one inch is enough clearance). So what can you do about the wood left in the ground? I have an arboricultural solution, but first let’s think about what the industry will sell you: stump-grinding. Even with a machine, stump-grinding is a labor-intensive process that turns the stump into small chips which are often heaped up back in the remaining hole in the ground. It is not a place to plant anything, so it is just a different eyesore. Here, the best option is to remove all the chips, bring in soil, tamp it, and plant a different tree or plant grass. If the stump was large, the resulting lawn grade will look awkward, so planting a new tree is probably the best look. In a landscape setting, unless the new planting has to go exactly where the stump is, if the stump is cut low enough, new plants and mulch will completely hide the old stump. The arboricultural solution is to add water. You read that right. When arborists prune trees properly, they attempt to prevent the accumulation of decay-enhancing water on the remaining wood. So with a stump, if we want to enhance decay, we should cut the stump to encourage the accumulation of water. In one photo, you can see that I cut
SubmiTTed phoToS
A depression is cut into a stump.
A rotten stump. a depression into the stump. If the depression is filled with mulch, the stump will stay wet. Look at the other photo. The center of the stump was already rotten when the tree was cut down. This is because a combination of improper pruning and the type of tree (silver maple) encouraged decay to move down the tree. But in every type of tree, the weakest defense against decay is vertical. In that rotten stump, the decay traveled down from eight feet away. So if every stump was cut with a decay-enhancing depression, we would have fewer stumps quicker.

ere at Local Flavor, we think cookbooks are the best kinds of books. A group at Valley Community Library in Peckville thinks so, too. The Midvalley branch of Lackawanna County Library System hosts a Cookbook Club each month to swap recipes and share ideas. The class tries a lot of different recipes, so when group members opted to each bring in their best dish, Janet Kosydar’s was a no-brainer: her Apple Pie. Her take on the American classic earned the library’s Cookbook Club a $50 grocery gift card through Local Flavor Gives Back. The Dickson City resident received the recipe from her mom, the late Veronica Bednarczyk. While she helped out in the kitchen as a kid, Kosydar began to make the pie herself when she married her late husband, Larry, in 1976. It remained a staple while their three children, Lauren, Marissa and Larry, were growing up. “I’ve been making it for so long, I’ve really perfected it and got it down,” Kosydar said. “This is my best.” Kosydar said her recipe for Apple Pie is straight-forward, but has a few key steps to ensure it’s perfect. She typically uses three Granny Smith apples and one Cortland apple for the filling and cuts them into 1/4-inch thick slices. “I don’t like thin apple slices — I love a little bite,” she said. As per her mother, Kosydar only uses ice cold water and cold Crisco for the crust, which she swears gives the pie it’s flaky, melt-inyour-mouth consistency. “My mother always did it so I never questioned it,” she said, laughing. “This was what she said

The apples tasted crisp, sweet and tart with just the right hint of sugar and spices. The filling was enclosed in a flaky, buttery crust. The delicious Apple Pie should come as no surprise as Kosydar is an accomplished cook and baker. From cookies and cakes to Sundaystyle dinners and Polish delicacies, Kosydar’s kitchen prowess knows no bounds. Today, the grandmother of six — Ella, 11; Lucas, 5; Landon, 5; Owen, 4; Ellie, 2; and Mia, 1 — is always looking for different recipes to try. The Cookbook Club has helped her explore new ingredients and dishes that yield delicious results. “I’ve made a lot of new things I would have never even thought to try,” she said. “That’s the fun part. Eating it is good, too.” Contact the writer: gmazur@timesshamrock.com; 570-3489127; @gmazurtt on twitter

Pioneer heroes to be honored
The Greater Carbondale YMCA Pioneer Heroes Awards will be presented on Wednesday, June 26. Tickets are $50 per person. For more information on reservations, keepsake program ads or the endowment, call 570-282-2210 or email hl.murphy@greatercarbondaleymca.org.
Being honored are:
Michele Bannon, volunteer award: “Who can help us with this?” “Michele Bannon.” That’s the question and answer heard throughout the YMCA offices at least weekly, if not daily. Bannon is an ever-ready liaison between the City and the YMCA, to ensure that special events and projects run smoothly and correctly. During the YMCA’s Capital Campaign, Bannon’s assistance in navigating the many property purchases necessary for the Y to expand was invaluable. As a longtime member and volunteer, Bannon advocates for the YMCA whenever she is able. Friends say she is known for her infectious laugh and sunny outlook toward any situation. Michele Bannon is receiving the Volunteer Award.
Rob Grimm, corporation award: Grimm Construction Co. led the charge in creating the YMCA’s renovation and expansion. Since opening in 2010, the Y continues to have the “wow factor” when people tour the facility; a true testament to the quality of work that went into the building. For more than a decade, Grimm has continued to be generous to the Y’s special projects and is a consistent sponsor of several annual special events. Officials say Grimm and his staff are a pleasure to work with — easy to talk to, trustworthy and take genuine pride in their work while remaining humble.
Mike Mancuso, volunteer award: Mancuso can trace the start of his Y roots back to youth basketball. As an adult, he has continued to take an active role in shaping the YMCA. Mancuso served on the steering committee for the Capital Campaign, bracing weekly 7:15 a.m. meetings to ensure the project never lost momentum. In addition to being personally generous, Mike was always one to step up and help make “the ask” to other major donors. Mike has served on the YMCA’s board of directors for many years and currently serves on the board of trustees. Mike Mancuso is receiving the Volunteer Award.
John Wiedman, lifetime award: Wiedman has served on the YMCA’s board of directors and board of trustees for more than 40 years, including filling the position of board president. Many years ago, when the Greater Carbondale YMCA was small and struggling, Wiedman was able to use his connections at the bank to help the Y push through those hard times and come out stronger. Through his support, the YMCA was able to not only sustain, but grow substantially. Wiedman continues to be an advocate for the YMCA in both his professional and personal networks.
