Friendly competition at the Comm StAFF REpoRt

WAVERLY TWP. — Once a week, after the Waverly Community House closes for the night, the Greater Waverly Athletic Club arrives to play a friendly game of volleyball. The group began weekly games back in 1982, according to Ron Whitaker, a township resident and supervisor. He, Bill Chickillo and Gary Fox are among the original members of the club who still regularly play. Most Wednesdays, somewhere between 10 and 14 folks –sometimes more – show up for the game, which begins around 9 p.m. and wraps up about two hours later. The group plays from September through May, Whitaker said. “We never know who is going to be there. Whoever shows up, shows up,” Whitaker said, explaining the weekly matchups are informal. “It keeps us all active.”

Whitaker said the weekly games sprang from a group that used to play weekly basketball games at the Comm. When they got sick of basketball, they began playing volleyball. The games used to take place on Thursdays, but a few years ago shifted to Wednesdays. The weekly games have led to friendships and other social events, including summer pool parties and picnics. Waverly Township resident Dr. Doug Klamp joined the weekly volleyball game about 15 years ago and said the benefits extend beyond the social aspects. “The aging process is slowed down by exercise,” Klamp said, noting that the group boasts four regular members over the age of 70. “This group is a great example of that.”

I shivered as I hurried along South State Street on a recent Saturday afternoon, eager to get inside one of the warm shops. Still accustomed to mild fall temperatures, I left my house unprepared for the brief snow squall that descended on Clarks Summit shortly before my downtown jaunt. My hands were warm stuffed inside the pockets of my coat, but I could feel my ears turning red from the cold. “I could use a new winter hat anyway - maybe I’ll find something in here,” I thought as I entered Sonia’s Contemporary Clothing/Kidazzle/The Drapery Shop. A small display of crocheted headbands with soft fleece lining caught my eye. I chose one that matched my coat and headed for the counter, where the proprietor, Sonia Wysochanski, was chatting with another customer and demonstrating a product that looked something like Silly Putty. The small storefront at 320 South State Street houses three businesses in one, with a mix of women’s and children’s clothing and accessories, toys and window treatments. The shop is one of many in downtown Clarks Summit that make great spots for holiday shopping. As I wrote here last week, I believe most if not all of a robust Christmas shopping list can be fulfilled in a single afternoon in downtown Clarks Summit. I also promised some gift ideas and tips. The following is a sampling of the ideas I received from shop owners and employees during my recent downtown window shopping trip. Stocking stuffers ■ The “Silly Putty” at Sonia’s turned out to be Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty, a fun stocking stuffer for the kids (and maybe even some kids-at-heart) on your list. It comes in several varieties, all of which are non-toxic. There are glow-in-the-dark, magnetic, metallic, heat-sensitive and sparkly options, to name a few. ■ Don’t forget to stop at Jon Stopay Candies, 103 South State St., for some sweet goodies to help fill the stockings. The business’ “world famous” peanut butter chiffon, for which it is best known, is a good place to start. Please see Shopping, Page 5

JOSHUA ARP | GREEN SCENE

Thanksgiving wishbook Two weeks ago, one of my neighbors was lauding the ever-developing trail system at Lackawanna State Park. The system includes land held by the Countryside Conservancy, whose Trolley Trail work has begun to revolutionize ecological recreation in the Abingtons.

Before the word “cyberspace” even existed (1982 is the first known usage), I was experiencing an ironic calendar reality: The early arrival of the massive Sears “Wishbook” helped my young heart covet even when I was supposed to be learning to give thanks. And it seems impossible to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and a spirit of coveting simultaneously. But this Thanksgiving, I want to present a “wishbook” idea to my readers, one that I hope will stimulate the kind of coveting that ultimately gets satisfaction. In the heart of the Abingtons, lies some of its greenest, leastdeveloped land. In the mid 1960s, when there were only four traffic lights in all of the Abingtons, and abundant open land, the 279 acres along Venard Road bordering Clarks Green was arguably less ecologically significant than today. But today, with all of Fairview, Edella, and Abington Roads

100 acres, long held by Lourdsmont, is now owned by The Scranton School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children. So my wishbook mind took my wife’s vision and applied it to the entire 279 acre plot.

TERI LYON | SUBURBAN FAMILY

Thankful for the Abingtons

Giving thanks. At the risk of sounding cliché, that’s what we’re supposed to do today. It’s more than respect for this Thanksgiving Day, and more than good manners. Giving thanks is actually good for us. All the experts say being in a grateful state improves our minds, bodies, social status and even makes us look better. If you are a parent, you know that teaching your children gratitude and exposing them to gratitude by your example helps them become healthier, happier people. Like anyone else, being grateful puts me in my happy place when I think of how life has blessed me. That is why, in between getting my house ready and preparing a 22-pound turkey for my extended family to descend on and devour, I am making a conscious effort to be thankful today. For starters, I am thankful every time I open my eyes in the morning. I am thankful that I can stand up and walk to my refrigerator, where there is food for breakfast. And I am thankful for our cat, Maude, who is grateful for hers. I am thankful that I have good health, a good home and a good job (or two). I am thankful for my old van that gets me where I need to go. And for the deer in my yard. I am most thankful for my family, my three girls, Carolyn, Steph and Jess, my granddaughter, Rachel and son-in-law, Adam. They have my heart. Then there’s my beautiful mom, who you will meet in a future column, and my sisters and their families. I am also thankful for the rest of my extended family and friends from here to Florida, and for my North Gravel Pond Road neighbors, who are a very special group of friends. Living near them makes me feel safe and loved. Beyond my neighborhood I am very grateful for my community. Living in the Abingtons brings to mind a unique list of

blessings. Here are just a few: My Pallman Farms turkey, and all my fellow shoppers there, coming out of the big barn with turkeys in boxes and smiles on their faces. Downtown Clarks Summit and South Abington Park all decked out in holiday lights at night. All the teachers who have taught my kids and have helped them become better people. The Abington Heights High School Marching Band, Orchestra and Choral Ensembles. Fourth-graders with violins. Local student athletes and their fans who give this community so much spirit. (Go, Comets!) Speaking of “spirit,” Bill Carter, the jazzy pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit. The Gathering Place, and the good people and things that gather there. The Waverly Community House and the Devine dancers who practice there. Brian at Miller Bros. Agway, who always fits my fresh Christmas tree perfectly into my funky tree stand. Fall Fun in the Abingtons, and the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice. Warm-and-fuzzy little stores for Christmas shopping. Live Nativities and Christmas pageants at local churches. The Dalton Fire Company Carnival. The VFW Memorial Day Parade in Clarks Summit and veterans who give me a poppy when I make a contribution at a local market. Fourth of July fireworks at the AH Middle School. Awesome police and fire departments, and ambulance crews. People who smile at me when I walk down State Street. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Today may your bellies be full, but not as full as your heart. Teri Lyon is a mom, grandmom and freelance writer who lives in Glenburn Township with her cat.

Downtown Hoedown for Hope benefits Marley’s Mission stAff report

SCRANTON — Backyard Ale House hosted the Downtown Hoedown for Hope Saturday, Nov. 10 to benefit the Newton Township-based biborifut Marley’s Mission. The evening included silent auctions, raffles, drink specials, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment provided by Light Weight and more. Support is the key to the fundraising success of Mar-

ley’s Mission “where hope comes alive for children and their families who have experienced trauma.” Proceeds from the event will provide equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) at no cost to children in the region who have experienced trauma. All items were donated by local merchants and friends of Marley’s Mission. For more information, visit marleysmission.com.

There are many worthy stops I haven’t even mentioned - the restaurants and cafes, barber shops, Everything Natural, Stately Pet Supply, The Golden Coast, the Jewelry Room and more. But I would quickly run out of space if I kept going. Instead, I hope this will inspire readers to embark on a scavenger hunt-style trip of your own and see how much of your list you can cross off right here in the Abingtons. Happy shopping.

MUSICAL: Abington Heights to present ‘A Christmas Carol FROM PAGE 1

Twins Jeffrey and Bryan Barlow, perform as Marley’s ghost and Bob Cratchit, key characters in the production. Tiny Tim is played by elementary student, Aiden Covell. Jerome Wheeler is a freshman at the high school. His involvement is unique in that he is deaf. “Jerome came to me and asked if he could be involved,” Lazor shared. “I said ‘Sure, why not?’ and it’s been a great thing. Jerome will be signing on stage during the performance and we will have interpreters as well.” This is a new element for the Abington Heights drama department as they have never had sign language interpretation of performances or a deaf student in the cast before. “It’s been nice for the students,” Lazor said. “Some of the scenes and choreography utilize sign language. Jerome is up there doing the same choreography as the rest of the cast. He wanted to be involved. We found a way and he rose to it. It would not have happened though, without the support of the interpreters. They have played a huge part in making this an accessible show for the deaf community.” Sign language interpret-

ers, Taylor Hunter and Danielle Cavanagh of Interpretek, have spent countless hours working with Jerome. They have taught some sign language to the cast and will interpret during the performances. Lazor has used his experience in dance and choreography to not only add sign language to scenes, but dance as well. “We have sign language in several places and made other changes. We also have some dance numbers in the production that we hope will entertain the audience,” Lazor said. Even with the creative license taken to the classic Dicken’s story, Lazor assures, “The story is 100 percent recognizable as ‘A Christmas Carol’.” The play will be presented at the high school on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 2. at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students or seniors and can be obtained by calling the school office at 570-585-5300. “We hope that being the weekend after Thanksgiving, Christmas-themed music will be permissible,” Lazor said with a smile. “We want to kick off the holiday season for the community in a happy way.”

Brian Manning of Manning Farm Dairy spoke at a recent Rotary Club of the Abingtons meeting. He talked about the history of the family business, which was established in 1920. The fourth generation business started with a single delivery truck that went door to door and grew into a large farm that produces fresh milk and homemade ice cream that is sold at multiple retail stores. Together with his two brothers, Ken and Kevin, Brian presented a past, present and future story of their herd of 100 cows and the current technology that monitors their activity, temperature and what each one consumes and sends alerts to a cell phone.
