This year’s strawberry season in Northeastern Pa. is almost over, however, according to Brian Pallman, who co-owns the farm along with his brother, Bruce Pallman.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. – A legal petition from Comcast Cable regarding the company’s franchise fee could potentially cost South Abington Township $72,000 annually, and the township’s board of supervisors took initial steps to deal with the issue at their June 11 meeting. The planning of a major project also came closer to completion at the meeting, with PennDOT construction of a pumping station by Shady Lane Road set to begin in 2014. The drafting of a property maintenance code and discussion of burn permits and the potential banning of burning in the township were discussed as well. Township Manager David O’Neill announced Comcast had issued a legal petition concerning a contract done between Comcast and the municipalities of the Abington Council of Governments. The deal gave the township a yearly cable television franchise fee, a rental charge Comcast paid to the community in exSee Comcast, Page 9

RANSOM TWP. - Concern among Ransom Township residents is growing, along with the piles of trees, logs and other debris collecting in local creeks. Heavy rains and flooding over the past six years caused several problems in the area, including an exposed high-pressure gas main in a creek near Dark Region Road, a sliding bank on Ledge Drive, and a significant loss of depth in many parts of the creeks. Residents and township officials fear these issues may create dangers. Bud Stann, of Dark Region Road, said when the waters of the creek running through his property are high, trees speed down it. But it’s not just trees that come “ripping” through the water, he said. It’s rocks, firewood and “whatever gets in the way of the creek.” He said during extreme conditions, he’s even heard the sound of boulders clunking together on the creek bed. Stann’s neighbor, Brad Steckel, said he also knows what can happen when the creek fills up. “Stuff comes down there that normally wouldn’t even move,” he said. This is why he and Stann are concerned about a high-pressure gas pipeline protruding out of the creek on Stann’s property. Both said they dislike the thought of what could happen if a large log were to get caught underneath it and act as a lever, or if a heavy object were to slam into it at high speed. According to Stann, the pipeline, which is owned by UGI Utilities and runs across a large portion of his property before heading toward Pittston, was unearthed by flooding in 2006. He said when he first noticed it, he contacted UGI regarding the problem, and representatives from the company came twice to investigate, promising to return in two weeks. Now, about six years later, the pipeline remains exposed for a length of at least 15 feet, with logs and other debris collecting around it. See Creek, Page 7

The peaceful setting of ‘Stann’s Grove’ at Bud Stann’s property on Dark Region Road, Clarks Summit, is a stark contrast to another spot a short walking distance up the creek, where logs, roots and other debris collect around an exposed high pressure natural gas pipeline protruding out of the creek.

C.G. to change billing CLARKS GREEN- The Clarks Green Borough Council discussed at its monthly meeting the new sewer billing set to replace the previous billing by Pennsylvania Water Company, which will end in June. At the June 13 meeting, council said Clarks Green Borough will resume the billing in September. Council also voted to change the billing preparation to every quarter. Councilman Barry Philips reported that dye testing will be conducted on the sewer running under Vasser Avenue to determine the source of the unpleasant smell residents have reported and drain work on Belmont Avenue will begin later thismonth. Also discussed were the Clock Committee meetings held generally on the second Thursday of the month, 5 p.m. at the Pennstar bank across from the Borough Building. The committee is raising funds for an ornamental clock for the borough and seeking interested members of the community to join their efforts. Council also announced two summer workers selected to assist the Department of Public Works. They are no longer accepting applications.

This year’s strawberry season in Northeastern Pa. is almost over, however, according to Brian Pallman, who co-owns the farm along with his brother, Bruce Pallman. He said the season began early and is turning out to be a short one, largely due to last year’s wet weather. He said the farm opened for picking June 6 and as of June 14, he said it would likely only be open about another week, depending on the volume of people coming out. Normally, he said, it stays open for three weeks. For additional photos, see www.theabingtonjournal.com

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - In 2011, local tree carver, Kevin Treat, Lake Winola, donated his time, talent and skills by transforming a dying pine tree along the Lake Eston Wilson shoreline at the Abington Area Community Park into a work of art with a wildlife theme that includes an eagle, owl and black bears. A fish carved from a portion of that pine tree will soon be added to the collection of tree carvings, thanks to Treat. He said, “The park has ordered two theme benches to be positioned along the nature trail, so when they are made, there will be a total of four carvings which I made in the park: the tree I carved in the fall, the rising fish from the children’s fishing derby and two benches. The bench end pieces will be carved with

wildlife experienced around the lake…” On June 9, following the “Forever Young” Kids’ Fishing Derby, Treat offered onlookers an opportunity to see a live tree carving demonstration as he carved the fish under a canopy in the parking lot of the South Abington Township park. This is the second consecutive year Treat has carved at the fishing derby. Abington Area Joint Recreation Board member Diane Vietz recently said of Treat’s project, “He is going to do a carving at the park using a part of the tree from last year…the carved tree had so much potential with-

in it…” She added, “His craft of woodcarving permanent sculptures adds value to the park’s aesthetics and are added attractions to the lakeside trail. Treat’s generous donation marries art with nature, an important element to highlight.” According to Treat, the fishing derby event carving will be positioned in the park once it is completed. He said, “The piece of wood I used to carve it was actually off the top of the tree by the lake, which I carved last fall.” Treat said the carving for the park will not be ready and installed at the park for at least a month.

Calligraphy and traditional cuisine were part of a June 3 gathering at The University of Scranton to celebrate the end of a successful semester, according to Shuhua Fan, Ph.D., one of the organizers of the Scranton Chinese School. Since fall 2010, The Scranton Chinese School, a nonprofit educational organization, has provided the community with an opportunity to learn Chinese language and culture, and throughout the year, holds events for Chinese School families that include Halloween celebrations, Chinese New Year festivals and spring picnics. Teachers, students and their families involved with the school gathered for a picnic at the university’s DeNaples patio. The event provided “a good opportunity for parents to get to know one another and for kids to mingle with one another,” said Dr. Fan. Traditional Chinese cuisine was prepared by families who attended the picnic, in addition to several main dishes supplied by dining services at the university. Activities included soccer on the Green Lawn and a words and color game with instructor, Limien Lin, who brought ink stone, ink and a Chinese soft brush pen to demonstrate calligraphy. Dr. Fan said, “So many of us, including my son, also got name print because of Teacher Lin’s beautiful cal-

Bird brought up the issue of the creeks needing to be cleaned out at a supervisors meeting May 30, where he explained the problem to Lackawanna County Community Relations Coordinator Rick Notari. Bird suggested since other townships in the county are also having problems with the creeks, it may be beneficial to get a program together for them to pool resources to get some work done. Notari said at the meeting he would bring the concerns back to county officials and check into the matter further. As of June15, he said the County is searching for ideas and looking into different possibilities.

“washed everything away again.” She said a more permanent fix is needed, and she hopes it will come soon. Ransom Township Road Master David Bird said after last year’s flooding, the township received a grant from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fix a large crack on Ledge Drive, but the task can’t be completed without first securing the sliding bank. He said the township received a donation of stone for the project from Alliance Landfill, but he doesn’t know where the township will obtain the money to complete the work. Although he said much more work needs to be done on the creek, including the removal of debris, straightening, and digging about four feet below the bed, his hope for this year is simply to secure the bank. He said he met with an engi-

investigation,” but he was unable to comment further or say how long the investigation will take. Steckel said in the past, he has found UGI to be a “phenomenal” company to do business with, and he hopes the matter will soon be resolved. Residents in other parts of the township hope the rest of the problems with the creek will soon be resolved as well. Roger and Helen Doty, of Creek Road, said the creek washed away several yards of land from their property, which sits across from Ledge Drive, where the bank is sliding and taking part of the road with it. Helen Doty said the bank first started to slide after the flooding in 2006, and was repaired shortly after with concrete and large stones.

some very significant. “It has been very, very helpful,” Duncan said. “We’ve been blessed.” Duncan added that the land was given to the church and the excavation is being done gratis by another person from the community. Church Council Chair Keith Eckel is excited for the fresh start the new building will provide. “The great thing about the new building is that we will all be new to it,” he said. “The churches came together to reach out to the community and make everyone feel welcome to come to Countryside Community Church. It’s a great opportunity to build a new congregation.” Eckel also hopes the new building helps create an opportunity for the church’s youth programs to grow. “Our Sunday School has been growing and our leaders are doing a great job, but I think there is much more opportunity for growth in the future. I hope the new construction will be inviting.” Countryside Community Church was established on July 1, 2008 from the merger of four local United Methodist churches near Clarks Summit (Milwaukee, Newton, Ransom and Schultzville). “Once the churches decided to merge, it was clear that this was a new church and needed an entirely new name,” Executive Assistant Karen Rickaby said. “The congregations had the opportunity to suggest their ideas for a new name by writing them on a paper and placing them in a box. Once the suggestions were collected, the top 10 or so were placed on a sheet of paper and each person got to vote for their favorite. Once the votes were counted, it was clear that ‘Countryside Community Church’ was the winner.” The church is a member of the Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church, formed two years ago, after the Wyoming and Central Pa. Conferences combined. A groundbreaking service was held May 22, 2011.

He followed up with the natural gas company via telephone at least eight times since the initial contacts, he said, but without result. He presented the issue at a Ransom Township Board of Supervisors meeting March 5, explaining, “I had the gas people here several times, and they weren’t concerned about it. And the one comment the one inspector made was, ‘If it blows, it’s only going to go150 feet in the air.’ Well, my neighbor’s [Steckel’s] front door is150 feet off the creek.” At that meeting, the supervisors agreed to send an official letter from the township to UGI. According to Supervisor Dennis Macheska, the letter was sent a short time after, but a response has not been received. As of June15, Don Brominski, spokesman for UGI, said the company is “conducting an

OBITUARY

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

Making the most of summer We all look forward to summer. Visions of sunny days at the pool, walks on the beach and margaritas on the patio run through our minds like sugarplums dancing in our heads. Like our children, we look forward to the last day of school with anticipation. “Did you do your homework?” We can put this toooften-said-phrase to bed for a few months. Thanks to their father’s influence, my children have the tradition of being welcomed home on this special day with Alice Cooper’s famous anthem. We belt out “School’s Out for Summer” while dancing around the living room and the fun begins. Within days of having them at home, though, reality sets in. There they are, still in pajamas nearing lunch time, teeth and hair yet to be brushed, brawling with each other over the remote control. “SpongeBob,” one yells. “No. I want Myth Busters,” the older one screams back. A mom of four and Facebook friend of mine posts: “Already ready for September! Sad but true!” Her words were few, but fellow parents of school-age children understand her instantly. At this point I realize those visions of summer are going to take some work to pull off. A pool? We either have to put one in, get cozy with someone who has, join a country club or brave the gnarly bathroom floor at the state park. Beach walks? First we have to decide who we want to attempt to vacation with this year. Past experience tells me that it is imperative to have non-sibling, like-aged children for ours to play with…Do we go with the cousins or the family friends? Who do we have a better chance of ending a vacation still speaking to? Now for the frozen cocktail party on the patio. Mine lacks a view and most often the surrounding lawn is slightly overgrown. The thought of actually entertaining out there does not elicit feelings of tranquility. The least I can do is jump into action and whip these kids out of their catatonic, screen-induced state. Within minutes of the remote control wrestling match, I have commandeered the family computer and drawn up a chore chart. Next, it’s time to set up a schedule of activities. In previous years, my kids could be seen playing tennis at the Comm, cheering for the Junior Comets and learning about wildlife at the Endless Mountains Nature Center. This year, sleep away camp will be part of the picture, as well as golf lessons, and we won’t miss the plethora of free activities at the libraries. Below are a just a few ideas of camps and lessons available in the area. Free

Born in Shenandoah, she was the daughter of Catherine Starkey, Nanticoke and the late Francis Starkey. She was previously employed at Schott Glass and a past member of the Ransom Lions Club.

O’Neill said PennDOT estimates the construction to take approximately six months and the tunnel will be closed for the duration of the work. The township will be responsible for the expense of the construction, although the township will be reimbursed for 50 percent of the costs. O’Neill said the township must still choose what option to take to deal with the sewage during construction. Some options include boring from down the road, pumping the sewage from an upstream manhole for several months and the use of directional drilling. “There are so many options out there, we have to narrow down what’s best for us,” O’Neill said. The township also addressed complaints about burning in the township and burn permits. O’Neill said the township needs to “follow the regulations of

Supervisor Mark Dougherty said the burn permits are outdated and wants DEP to help regulate the issue. “We’re not looking at grills, we’re not looking at little fireplaces,” Dougherty said. “We’re up here talking about heavy burning… We should let the DEP issue the permit.” The board unanimously motioned to draft a property maintenance code. O’Neill said the code, which the township previously did not have in effect, will fine property owners with dilapidated and blighted properties, such as those with large numbers of pests or faulty wiring, among other factors. Township Solicitor Bill Jones said he wanted to improve the basics of the property code. “I’d like to see it beefed up on the enforcement side,” Jones said. “It helps protect people.”

Dietrich to share ‘The Gifts of Wali Dad’ The Dietrich Children’s Theater will present "The Gifts of Wali Dad," a story from Pakistan, June 22 and 23. For full story, see page 11. From left: Rich Ryczak, Bryan Thompson

The next few days will be jam packed with activity at the Dietrich Theater. We hope you can join us for one or some of the following exciting events. Tonight, June 20 at 7 p.m., willow basketry artist Bonnie Gale will be at the Dietrich for a presentation on The Potential of Living Willow Structures in the Landscape. During this illustrated lecture, she will show us how to build living structures, her development of this work, international examples and the potential for willow structures in commercial applications. Bonnie and Dietrich Theater students constructed a willow structure in 2004 at Tunkhannock’s Riverside Park that is still thriving today. If you would like to see a demonstration on the care of a living willow structure, please join Bonnie Gale at Riverside Park today, June 20 at 3 p.m. Both the demonstration and presentation are free and all are welcome to attend. Then tomorrow night, June 21 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., acclaimed storyteller Fiona Powell will be at the Tunkhannock Public Library for a free story hour. All ages are welcome to come out as she spins on her spinning wheel Tales from Pakistan. Fiona is a spectacular teller of tales, and in this age of technology, it is great to expose children to the ancient art of storytelling. This story hour is in conjunction with the next event I am about to tell you about – The Dietrich Children’s Theatre production of “The Gifts of Wali Dad.” On Friday and Saturday June 22 and 23, the Dietrich Children’s Theatre will take you on a “journey” to Pakistan through their staged production of “The Gifts of Wali Dad.” In this tale, audience members will meet Wali Dad, simple, happy man in Pakistan who finds he has saved more money than he can possibly use. Wanting to do something good with it, he sends a gift to a deserving queen. The queen in turn sends him a bigger gift. Wali Dad cleverly passes this gift on to a noble king, who sends Wali Dad an even more lavish present. The more Wali Dad tries to give away the more he is rewarded. Find out what happens to Wali Dad and if he can ever return to the simple life he loved. This is a dear story about generosity, which will be held on Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m., and Saturday, June 23 at 11 a.m. Admission is free thanks to grant support from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. You won’t want to miss it. Tickets can be reserved by calling 570.996.1500 or See Detrich, Page 12

LIBRARY NEWS BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

From the Abington Community Library’s new additions to the non-fiction books for children, here are some curious questions about structures and buildings around the world: 1) What structure lets ships get through the hot, dry desert? 2) What tower looks like a giant arrow pointing to the sky? 3) On what sculpture are the noses and mouths as big as some small boats? 4) What is the name of the bridge that has towers that look like the steps on a ladder? 5) What tall building’s design is based on a pencil? The following titles are from the series, “Now That’s BIG!” written by Kate Riggs. Each contains simple descriptive text accompanied by striking full-page photographs, many with an unusual perspective of the structure or building and each opens with a map of the area where it is located. The answers to the questions are in order, # 1 through # 5: “Suez Canal.” Starting with the history of the building of the canal and the foresight of Ferdinand de Lesseps who saw that a canal would mean ships would no longer have to sail around the tip of Africa, the book goes on to describe how it is used today for commerce and for tourism and how it helps the people in Egypt. “Eiffel Tower.” The text emphasizes how dangerous it was for the 200 men who worked to build the tower in Paris in the late 1800s, how it was like putting together a huge puzzle made of 18,000 iron and steel beams. The author also introduces readers to the designer, Gustave Eiffel, and how he wanted above all to make his simple tower beautiful. “Mount Rushmore.” Carved out of a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the sculpture shows the heads of four American presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. It was designed by a man named Gutzon Borglum and was built by about 400 people starting in 1927. They had to use dynamite to break up the rock and make shapes. Today, writes the author, more than two million people visit Mount Rushmore every year. “Golden Gate Bridge.” The bridge, which crosses a strait known as the Golden Gate, replaced ferries which linked the crowded city of San Francisco to towns across the water. Building began in 1933, one section at a time, with workers blasting through rock and swimming deep under the water to plant pillars in the ground. When it was finished in 1937, the bridge was 4,200 feet long. For a long time, it was the largest suspension bridge in the world. “Empire State Building.” Construction on the building, which is 102 stories high, was begun in 1930 by skyscraper builders who often had to work at dangerous heights. When it was finished in 1931, people celebrated by climbing all 1,860 steps to get to the top. Today, hundreds of people go to work in offices in the building and millions of tourists ride elevators to the observation decks each year. It is the tallest building in New York City.

The second fundraiser, to be held during Founders’ Day, June 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. is a basket raffle, organized by Linda Murray, also on the Dietrich Theater’s Fundraising Committee. Murray said there will be a wide variety of baskets for raffle donated by community members: everything from food, to artistic prizes, to automotive items, to children’s baskets and more. Tickets will be available throughout the day for $1 each or six for $5, and the drawings will be made at the end of the day. Murray said she hopes for good weather and a good turnout from the community. More information on both fundraisers can be obtained by calling the Dietrich Theater at 570.996.1500.

Celebrating CARS BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

he Scranton Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America is gearing up for its 41st annual car show, which will be held July 15 at the Abington Executive Park, Morgan Highway, South Abington Twp. The show is the club’s largest event of the year and features a flea market, various food vendors, live music and a car corral, culminating in a winner’s parade on the grounds starting at 3 p.m. According AACA Scranton Region president Dan Shea, the car show is meant to celebrate the automobile in all its glorious manifestations, from Depression-era vehicles to 1970s muscle cars to contemporary special-interest collectible cars. “We went from exclusively antique cars to all different kinds of show cars,” Shea said. “We’re trying to bring in the younger generation.” The Scranton Region AACA, founded in 1971, includes nearly 150 members passionate about acquiring, refurbishing and showing extraordinary cars.

One need not own a show vehicle to join the club. Anyone can join, according to Shea. In addition to staging car shows, the club is involved with philanthropic activities that benefit the local community as well as social engagements for car lovers. The first show, according to the group’s website, was held at South Abington Grade School in the early 1970s. After hosting the show at a few different locations, the group eventually found a permanent home on the grounds of the Allied International Salt Company, now the Abington Executive Park, in South Abington Twp. The Scranton Region AACA is a part of the national Antique Auto Club of America established in Philadelphia in 1936, when antique cars were turn-ofthe-century cars. At the local level, the Scranton Region AACA carries out the mission of its national parent, which is to promote “the preservation and enjoyment of automotive history of all types,” according to the club’s website.

The Abington Community Library will host a fundraising booth at the show. Raffle sales will benefit the library and be used toward purchasing additional books for its math, science and engineering collection for readers of all ages. Items to be raffled include those commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Indy 500, 2005 Ferrari World Champion Michael Schumacher, Bridgestone Motorcycle MotoGP, 2007 and 2011 Giants Despair Hillclimb and a Paul Newman #33 Budweiser Datsun poster. All posters were donated by Oscar Koveleski and come framed, ready to hang.

Own a vehicle from 1934 or earlier? The Abington Journal wants to share a photo of you and your vehicle with our readers. Contact us at 570.587.1148 or email “Collector Car” at news@theabingtonjournal.com.

Shea said that people of all walks of life come together at the show, unified in their passion for automobiles. He said that an attendee could spend hours soaking up the car enthusiasts’ stories, which they tell with great passion. Shea emphasized that while the show is a top-notch affair, it is essentially about car aficionados and their cars rather than sheer competition. “It’s all about people and their cars,” he said. Gates open at 8 a.m. with car registration until noon. General admission is $3. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free. Joe Kruz will provide live music and there will food and drink concessions. The club will provide dash plaques for the first 400 participants. The winners parade will take place on the grounds beginning at 3 p.m. Those who rode in antique cars in their heydays are strongly encouraged to attend and share their experiences. For more information, call 346.3771, or on the day of the show 650.3634.

Powerlifting for two causes

BY ROBERT TOMKAVAGE

Peter Hubbard, a senior at Abington Heights High School, is organization a powerlifting meet at Brown’s Gym in Clarks Summit July 14 as a service project. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds will go to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter and 75 percent will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project. “I recently rescued a dog from the shelter and I have an interest in the military so I wanted to give back to the Wounded Warriors,” Hubbard said. Hubbard is thankful for the help and support from

the owners of Brown’s Gym, where he is also an employee. “(Owners) Jim and Janel have helped tremendously,” he said. “They have donated so much of their time helping me make contacts for the event, they will serve as judges, and they donated their facility and equipment.” Hubbard began powerlifting a little over a year ago when he became friends with Jim Brown and joined his powerlifting team. He participated in his first competition, the Pennsylvania State Powelifting Championships, a few months ago in Clarks Summit.

Hubbard would also like to thank promoter Steve Mann for his assistance in the process. “He donated his time to help put the event together,” Hubbard said. “It has been 100 percent charity work. Everyone who has helped and donated their time and knowledge did so without expecting anything in return. I really appreciate it.” To sign up for the event, applications will be at the front desk at Brown’s Gym.
