The Butcher Shoppe’s Marc Zahra welcomes this opportunity to dish out some intriguing ideas on a few distinctive cravings for the grill including: kangaroo, elk and buffalo.

Alongside wife Debbie, Marc describes the major difference in grilling delicacies like ostrich tenderloin, wild boar burgers and venison strip loin with less than 3% fat. He cautions, “Don’t overcook them as they will dry out,” recommending, “Simple is better.” When asked about preparing the cuts beforehand, he strongly opposes marinating as it “Masks the flavor.” Opting for a touch of extra virgin olive oil and a light coating

Sowing the Seeds
owing the seeds of plant life insight that’s reaped rewards for over 83 years, Ross & Ross considers family the stimulant for growth. Admiration that stems from generations of hands on help has made this Paradise
Valley nursery a trusted source for tips on everything from exotic plants and landscape design, to unique Hypertufa Pots and Fairy Gardens. Third generation Ross rep, Linda Ross-Besecker considers her dad, Jefferson Ross, one of their key ingredients for longevity. “He lives for plants,” she says, also admiring her brother Wayne’s knack for knowing the family business. Sharing that knowledge with creative classes, she considers
an opportunity for customers to not only learn about various pottery and plant practices but to reap the benefit of generations of gardening know how. Visit rossandrossnursery.com for a lineup to signup for their next session!
Ross & Ross Summer Gardening Tip:
“Dead Head,” by removing finished blooms from your hanging baskets & keep fertilizing at the top of your to-do list for lush foliage

Double the Play
“I just thought it would be a great partnership,” said LCECT Manager Wayne Hiller describing the unique experience and ticket sale opportunities with the connection. Alleviating traffic hassles can be a thing of the past as many hop on the bandwagon, or in this case trolley, to relax and soak in the sights along the ride to the stadium at Montage. “They [passengers] just don’t want to deal with the traffic,” he reports as season ticket holders often park and participate, along with, those eager to optimize the memory of their first game.

The trolley leaves Steamtown Platform in Downtown Scranton at 12:15 p.m. to catch game times with the exception of June 14’s 2 o’clock game heading out at 1:15 p.m. Reservations are required and book fast so plan at least three days ahead by calling the Electric City Trolley Station at (570) 9636590.
There are still plenty of excursion games left including: June 14 & 28, July 5 & 26, along with
Whether it’s a first or thirty-first day at the park, fans are flocking to the idea.The excursion also opens doors to several who may have missed the chance of taking in a live game. Seating up to 62 people this 1926 JD Brill double center door trolley is handicap
