Traffic light near Keystone approved BY SUSAN REBENSKY Abington Journal Correspondent

FACTORYVILLE- It was announced at the July 11 Factoryville Borough Council meeting that a new traffic light will be installed near Keystone Collegeon Route 6 and 11. Council has the option of installing an additional red warning signal light. Borough Manager Mary Ellen Buckbee informed the board that she received a letter from PennDOT stating that the red warning signal will be located on LaPlume Township property and that Township does not feel it should pay for the additional light. “The borough will own and maintain the traffic signal , but if we want the red warning signal we will have to pay for it, because the neighboring township has already said no to the purchase,” said Buckbee. Board member Tom Davis said, “The light is needed, but I don’t feel the red warning light prior to the stop light is needed. ” After discussion, the board agreed to send a letter to PennDOT stating that Factoryville Borough will maintain the traffic light but will not take on cost of the red warning signal light.

Market opens July On July 11, the Scranton Cultural 21, 12A Center at The Masonic Temple hosted the premier event of “NEPA Swappers (A Northeastern Pa. Food Swapping Community).” Fleming founded the group in April 2012, and organized the event to give members of the community an opportunity to “exchange and converse,” and to celebrate and share homemade food in the region. “It’s also about building a friendship and sharing a story,” said Fleming, whose interest in canning and preserving homemade and home grown grew roots out of a family tradition and most recently, a summer spent in Princeton, N.J. “Last summer I was in Princeton, N.J., and there were farmers’ market every day to go to. I started getting into canning and preserving…I canned years ago, but got away from it. I borrowed my mom’s canning pot that was passed down to her by her mother, so it has lots of history and that is all part of the canning/preserving movement. There is an old school feel to it that I adore,” said Fleming. “I started following Marisa McClellan’s blog last summer and started cooking and canning up a storm - preserving everything from peaches and pears to making my own ketchup and mustard.” Throughout the world and in larger metropolitan cities such as Philadelphia and Los Angeles, food swapping events are held See Swapping, Page 12

RIDE OF THEIR LIVES

“My grandmother died from lung cancer. Did she smoke? Yes. My sister has lung cancer. Does she smoke? No, never did. Does that mean that my grandmother deserved to die? No.” Sheila McDonough, of Olyphant

So when the couple learned she had lung cancer, she said the news left them somewhat in shock. Although she did not know much about the disease at the time, she can now list the grim statistics off the top of her head: • Lung cancer patients have a 14 to 21 percent five-year survival rate, a prognosis that hasn’t changed in 40 years. • The percentage of lung cancer patients who currently smoke is 20, those who already quit smoking is 60 and those who never smoked is 20. • 160,000 people die of lung cancer per year. “That would be like a jumbo jet crashing every day,” Arscott said. “And yet, it has the least research and funding [com-

pared to other types of cancer].” Lung cancer, she said, is the “forgotten cancer.” She said she believes a major reason for the lack of research and funding is the stigma attached to the disease, which assumes if a person has lung cancer, they must have done something (like smoking) to get it. Arscott said not everyone who has lung cancer developed it because of smoking. But, she said, even if smoking is the reason, it doesn’t mean the person deserves to die. She said while there is no doubt about the connections between the addiction and disease and although she’s always been opSee Survivor, Page 12

EDITOR’S NOTE

A caption that appeared with a story about Countryside Conservancy hikes in the July 11 edition included an incorrect reference. It should have stated: “Jerry Petula points out that the Eastern Hemlock is Pennsylvania’s state tree and at one time in history, Pennsylvania was a world leader in the production of lumber. The Eastern Hemlock’s bark was also used to make tannic acid.” We regret the error.

Editor, The Athletic Director for the Abington Heights School District recently resigned. The school board should not seek to refill this position, just as it has not refilled so many other positions, including a number of teachers, which are vacant due to retirement and resignations. Unlike the teaching and other positions, the Athletic Director is not a necessary position and does nothing to enhance the education of the students. In fact there is no need for such a position, period. Several years ago at a board meeting I asked just what the responsibilities of the Athletic Director are, and each one stated is something that could and should be handled by other members of the district staff. Yet the position was

maintained, at a full- time level, no less, with a salary and benefit package equal to or greater than many teachers receive. The district was forced to use attrition regarding the now vacant positions, and only then after much evaluation and debate. No such consideration is necessary over this position, it simply needs to be eliminated. The core of any school district is supposed to be academics, not athletics. There is no mandate to have any interscholastic sports programs. As such, they need to be the first area cut in any school district’s budget decisions in lieu of tax increases or use of reserve funds, including the post of Athletic Director.

Editor: I’ve been a bagpiper in the Wyoming Valley Pipe and Drum Band for 10 years. I’m turning 63 in August. Recently, at several parades, I’ve had to step aside and let my band mates take my place in line. It’s not my age that’s stopping me from doing what I love. It’s my asthma and COPD. I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma 15 years ago. Many people are surprised to find out that I am able to play the bagpipes with my asthma and lung complications. “A bagpiper with asthma, how unusual, oneof-a kind!” they say. Yet, I like to think my hobby helps my lungs. As I keep the bag inflated by blowing into it through the blowpipe, I can feel my lungs growing stronger with each breath. Unfortunately, it saddens me that my daughter and my grandson have also been diagnosed with asthma. It’s very important to me that we are able to still spend time together, without our asthma affecting us. My daughter has been actively participating in the Fight for Air Walks, sponsored by the American Lung Association. When I was asked to perform at the Wilkes-Barre Fight for Air

Walk, I thought it would be a great opportunity for my daughter and I to spend time together, fighting our asthma together. There are many occasions when my asthma and COPD can interfere with my enjoyment in performing. The most recent was at the walk I participated in with my daughter. My lungs couldn’t make it. After one lap around the track, I had to step to the side. It means a lot to support a cause that is so close to our family. I’ll keep coming to the walks, bringing my daughter and bagpipe along, as long as I’m able. I’m proud to support the American Lung Association and its efforts to fight lung disease and to ensure healthy air for all Pennsylvanians. My family is only one of the many that your support could help result in cures for the lung diseases that have affected those across Pennsylvania. Please join the fight against weakening air pollution regulations. Please contact your elected officials and let them know that we expect them to fight for clean air and stand up to the companies that want to put profits before people. Healthy air means healthy lungs. Butch Modzelewski Wilkes-Barre

‘Celebration of LIFE’

Sewer connection remains on hold Developer stuck amid Clarks Summit, S. Abington dispute

BY ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com

CLARKS SUMMIT- The Borough of Clarks Summit and South Abington Township sewer agreement was a topic of discussion at the Clarks Summit Council meeting July 11. Attorney Greg Pascale was in attendance, representing a client caught in the middle of an ongoing dispute between the two municipalities. Pascale first approached Council at its June 13 meeting on behalf of Tech 78, a company planning a townhouse development on Winola Road. He said the South Abington Township Planning Commission gave conditional approval of the plans two weeks prior to that date; one of the conditions requiring a sewer pass-through agreement be made with the Borough of Clarks Summit. Borough Manager Virginia Kehoe explained at the June 13 meeting, “We had informed South Abington Township that until and unless we resolve our issues with pass-throughs and direct connects, that we would allow no new connections. So obviously, that’s put Attorney Pascale in a bind, and that’s why he’s here to talk to us.” At that time, council suggested Pascale get in touch with South Abington Township Solicitor Bill Jones. Council stated that the burden of responsibility rested with South Abington Township. Pascale returned to the July 11 meeting, however, unsatisfied with that response. Still in negotiation with the South Abington Township, Council stood its ground. Council voted to table the issue. “It’s about fairness for my client,” Pascale said, “and if we can’t get this resolved because of a fight between two municipalities, then we’ll have to take recourse in the courts. That’s all there is to it.” Ransom Township Supervisor and Abington Council of Governments (ACOG) President Dennis Macheska attended the meeting to report on the Comcast contract renewal process. He said he does not have a lot of information yet and that the municipalities will have to wait the attorney involved. He said he believes the negation start date is Sept. 2. Council recognized the Abington Memorial VFW Post 7069 for hosting the Clarks Summit Memorial Day Parade. A thank-you was read to several members of the Post in attendance and a certificate presented. Council voted to pass four ordinances, including: • Ordinance 2012-05, a curative amendment to change the zoning for a property on Old Lackawanna Trail Rd. from a manufacturing industry zone to a commercial zone • Ordinance 2012-06, a parking amendment for Depot Street • Ordinance 2012-07, an update to the storm water ordinance • Ordinance 2012-08, a sign ordinance amendment allowing businesses to obtain a permit to hang flags, no larger than 15 square feet, in front of their buildings at a maximum height of 36 feet and minimum of 7 feet. Councilwoman Patty Lawler gave the recycling report and talked about the upcoming Aug.1 transition to single stream recycling, a system in which all recyclable materials are placed in one bin to be sorted at a processing center. She said information will be sent to residents.

The event was held for the first time last year in memory of Mancuso’s niece, Kristyn Kromko, to raise money for a scholarship fund open to Abington Heights High School seniors who display similar qualities to those remembered in Kromko by her family and friends. Kromko died in an automobile accident April 26, 2010 at age 16, just three weeks after receiving her driver’s license. She resided in Clarks Summit with her parents, Joseph and Roberta Kromko and brother, Brandon Kromko. Following the accident, the family started a $1,000 scholarship in her memory at Abington Heights, where both siblings attended. Mancuso said her niece had a “carefree happy-golucky spirit.” “She just lit up the world,” she said. “She loved her friends and loved her family.” Mancuso said the family started the scholarship out of gratitude to the community, especially the high school. “We just want to give back,” she said. “When Kristyn’s accident happened, it was devastating.” She added that people from the school rallied to the family’s side almost immediately, providing an abundance of support, as if they “couldn’t help enough.” Even after the atmosphere began to settle, the support continued. According to Mancuso, Kromko would have graduated this

The support still continues as Mancuso and her co-organizer, Kristyn’s friend Kate Grow plan the race. Mancuso said she is grateful for each of the many people helping to make the event happen, including Kromko’s classmates who are baking dozens of muffins for that day. It’s really overwhelming,” Mancuso said. “I just mention Kristyn’s name, and everyone wants to help out…Everyone has been so giving, so supportive.” Registration for the race, which is a two-mile walk and run, will be held from 7 to 8:30 a.m. and the race will begin at 9 a.m. Preregistration forms are available for download at neparunner.com and forkristyn.com. There is a $15 registration fee, which benefits the Kristyn E. Kromko Memorial Scholarship Fund. T-shirts, designed by Kate Grow, will be given to at least the first 100 registered participants, along with tote bags and other surprises. Fruit baskets, drinking water and muffins will also be available the day of the race.

Future ambassador? BY MAURA KENNEDY Abington Journal Correspondent

oni Murithi, 17, is no stranger to international travel. Stamped on her passport are visas from the Netherlands, Belgium, England, France, Kenya, Panama, Slovakia and Jamaica among others. She lives with her mom and younger brother in South Abington Twp. As a native of Kenya and world traveler herself, Murithi’s mother, Tata Mbugua felt it was important for her children to travel and learn about culture by living with the locals. Traveling with her family instilled a great appreciation for life abroad, and the Rotary Club of the Abingtons’ exchange student program seemed like another way to experience a place new to her: the Philippines. The Philippines were unlike any place she had visited, Murithi said, and most striking for her was the general reaction to her skin color. The Philippines are a homogeneous society; any foreigner stands out. Unsettling to Murithi was their view of beauty: white is beautiful. She could not find a skin product without lightening agents. After a fruitless search for moisturizer that would not change her skin tone, her mother had to send some from the United States. “I’ve never had any problem with my skin or the way I look; when my host parents told me I should try skin lighteners to look more beautiful, I simply said no.” In a place with so much common ancestry, people would openly stare at her

in public. “It was definitely intimidating.” The local Rotary Club had difficulty at first finding a family willing to host her, she said. Soon after her arrival, many were volunteering. She ended up living with seven different families over a nine-month period. Murithi emphasized that she could not help but fall in love with the Filipino people. “They were very welcoming and just so hospitable,” she said. Murithi was placed in Lucena. She said the Rotarians there felt she would have a better experience of their culture if she visited those cities that were not Americanized. The slight problem for Murithi was that she had not learned the language, Tagalog. The Philippines isthe third largest En-

glish-speaking country in the world. However, in Lucena everyone spoke Tagalog. “It was about four months before I got a handle on the language. We traveled a lot to different parts of the Philippines and were exposed to different dialects too. It made it very confusing,” said Murithi. The cuisine, different from anything else Murithi had experienced, held several surprises.. One morning for breakfast, she received what she thought was a hard-boiled egg. She cracked into it and discovered a half-developed bird fetus, with feathers and a beak, or a balut, a delicacy enjoyed by Filipinos. “Here a family might bring home pizza as a treat on a Friday night. There, a tray of balut would be brought home, and everyone was excited about it,” said Murithi. It was common to see vendors selling skewered bats on the streets and wild dog meat included with stir fry dishes. On a normal day, she was served rice four to five times. “I became so sick of rice. Even at McDonald’s, instead of serving French fries, you got rice. If you said

no to rice, people would tease you and assume you must be on a diet.” In Lucena, Murithi studied as a high school senior. There the school day is 10 hours and students attend until age 16. Teens who were dating often attended church together, said Murithi. And the only time Murithi was allowed to meet up with friends socially was at church-related gatherings. The Philippines are approximately 83 percent Catholic, and Murithi observed, very devout. During the Holy Week, she recalled spending an entire day attending 14 different churches of the 14 different saints considered there to be the most important. One of her host mothers organized weekly prayer meetings. Murithi said she thinks more students should take advantage of the opportunity presented by the Rotary Club of the Abingtons. “Culture is omnipresent in a society. It’s not just what you wear and traditional dances and food. It includes the smaller things that you really start to notice when you go somewhere completely different,” said Murithi. “I felt very much like an ambassador of the United States when I was there.” Murithi said she would like to focus on international studies when she attends college and someday be an official ambassador of the United States in a foreign country.

Rink’s Eagle Project was resurfacing the side yard at the Clarks Green United Methodist Church where Troop 251 holds its weekly meetings. His project involved spreading top soil to cover up roots and uneven regions of the yard with his 30 volunteers. Afterward scouts spread lime and fertilizer before planting fresh grass. Combined, Rink and his volunteers spent more than 170 hours planning and carrying out the project. Rink, a member of Clarks Green United Methodist Church, continues to help maintain the yard. He was honored at Boy Scout Troop 251’s Eagle Banquet and Court of Honor May 27 at the Montdale Country Club.

Parenthood, Abington Style with Adriane Heine

A family that sweats together Biking along the crowded boardwalk in Ocean City on July 4th, I had to be careful not to collide with other bikers, runners and walkers. There were people of all ages, families exercising together. I saw a father and son on a bicycle for two, three generations in a surrey cart and a mother and her teenage daughter running side by side. There were several older folks being pushed in wheelchairs and small children riding with the aid of training wheels. We’ve been vacationing at the Jersey shore for years, renting a house with extended family and friends. The role of exercise in the shore house has changed dramatically. Before we all had kids, the competition was in the drinking games we’d play into the wee hours. A good game of quarters at night would give way to a lot of groggy young adults waking midday, just in time to get to the beach. When the babies started to arrive, the focus was on trying to get a few hours of sleep. No one had the energy to exercise as our children’s fussiness was exacerbated by the close quarters and unfamiliar surroundings. This year the shift was clear. All of the adults and a good portion of the children in the house got out and exercised each morning. We had a mother/father team that ran to the beach and then swam along the shore. One morning they regaled us with the story of swimming next to a large sting ray. My sister and her husband go running and my teenage niece joined them. They came back to tell of their block-long sprints and who had won that day. My husband and I pack bikes, one child and one adultsized, and we go out in pairs. It was interesting each morning to see who was up and out first, who ran or biked the farthest and if anyone of us dared to skip a workout and just sleep in. When I was a kid, we didn’t exercise with our parents. My father played tennis with his friends and my mother took a sporadic jazzercise class. I was into ballet and softball, but those activities didn’t follow me into adulthood. I was already a mother of two before exercise became a part of my routine. I had tried gyms and aerobics in

my 20s. Back then, as a doughy girl with an affinity for beer and potato chips, I really needed it. But it wasn’t until Brown’s Gym nearly ten years ago, that I caught on. Maybe it was the free childcare, an attractive perk for a 24/7 stay-at-home mom. Maybe it was my new, fit, mom friends who provided not only social interaction, but peer pressure to go. When my toddlers would whine and say they didn’t want to go along with me, I’d have to remind them that it was I who carted them to all of their classes and sports and waited for them. Couldn’t they show me the same respect? I’d remind them that it’s healthy for parents to exercise, so we can be strong and live long. I reminded myself that I was role-modeling healthy habits. “Mom, when can I join the gym?” I’ve heard this refrain for the past few years from my oldest. I look forward to the day she is of age to work out alongside me. In addition to the efforts our children see my husband and I make to exercise, (frequent conversations about whose turn it is to go, since the baby is still too young for Brown’s child care room) they have other positive influences in the community. Our neighbor is a marathon runner and often invites our children to train with her. There’s the Waverly Waddle, which plenty of the middle school kids participate in every year. There are kids’ gyms like Fitwize and My Gym in Scranton, which have offered classes as part of Waverly Elementary’s after school program. My daughter’s Brownie troop took Zumba together and there is a long list of sports offered by Waverly township for a nominal fee. There is so much chatter in the media about the sedentary “screen time” habits of kids today. On the other hand, it seems there are plenty of children too busy running to keep up with their parents to sit still for long. Adriane Heine and her husband, Doug, own Dublin’s Pub in West Scranton and are raising their three daughters in Waverly.

Clarks Summit resident combines sculpture, science BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI Abington Journal Correspondent

en thousand six hundred years ago, the city of Scranton was buried under a mile of ice, said Gene Moyer, wood carver, science buff and author of four books. Currently exhibited at The Anthracite Heritage Museum at McDade Park, Scranton, through August 19, are 50 pieces of Moyer’s sculptures that reflect and embrace his fascination with biological history and his talent as a wood carver. “Ice Age Mammals” is the title of the exhibit, although his collection of works also includes the evolution of mammals that lead to the Ice Age, showing the progression of the mammals – and their life forms - that have evolved or developed in response to their changing environments. “There is not one Ice Age,” said the Clarks Summit resident, who has devoted countless hours following his retirement more than a decade ago, to researching the Earth’s geological periods and whittling away at chunks of exotic hardwood. “There were countless numbers of Ice Ages in the history of the earth.” Rest comfortably knowing that, according to Moyer, “We probably will not see another one (Ice Age) for 12,000 years.” The last Ice Age ended 10,600 years ago. He said of his exhibit, Katarina Montoro, 11, Scranton and her grandmother, Mary Theresa Montoro, both of Scranton, with sculptor Gene Moyer. ABINGTON JOURNAL/ JOAN MEAD-MATSUI

“I always combine art with science… The thing that makes me tick is that I like art with science. By looking at this exhibit, you would learn that there really is an Abominable Snowman in the form of a giant ape. You would learn about how the Mastodons evolved…” The exhibit, which follows a chronological order and is arranged on tables throughout the museum with accompanying descriptions of the periods, covers 65 million years of geological evolution, beginning with the Megazostrodon of the Early Jurassic period, and culminating with carvings of one of the great wonders of the natural world, Niagara Falls, Western New York State. His sculptures are etched out of black walnut with literally thousands of small indentations that “affect the reflected and absorbed properties of light in each piece.” Moyer referred to his textured style of sculpting as a “kind of pointillism in wood.” He added, “All of these pieces are carved from black walnut. It (black walnut) is my favorite, because it’s the most beautiful wood.” The sculptor began carving wood out of boredom. “I was on vacation one day, and I had a piece of wood in the garage. I took it (the wood) outside and as I was sitting on the steps, I started scraping it against the edge of the steps. I had no tools. I did this beautiful little sailboat and at the end of the day I showed my father, and he said, ‘How did you do See Educate, Page 11

Ciao! Last week students in the Dietrich Food & Culture Around the World class started their culinary “travels” in Italy. Under the direction of Seasons Restaurant’s Executive Chef Bruce Arrowood and the Dietrich’s Cultural Assistant Laurel Radzieski, 11 young chefs between the ages of 10 and 16 learned some of the traditions of Italy as well as created some of that country’s most well known foods. In less than 90 minutes, the group had whipped up meatballs, miniature pizzas as well as biscotti. And believe me, it all smelled delicious. Plus Bruce and Laurel taught the kids about proper food handling and restaurant kitchen hygiene. This week the kids will be touring Mexico on their culinary adventure. I can’t wait to see (and taste) what they create. We would like to thank Bruce for volunteering his time and sharing his talent with us through this class. Students will not only learn about cuisine this month at the Dietrich, but they can also experience the joy of making music. Next week those talented and zany guys from Sadie Green Sales Jugband will be back at the theater to teach a weeklong class called Jammin’ in a Jugband. David Driskell and Timothy Walker, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts rostered artists, will teach children between the ages of six and 12 how to make music with homemade instruments such as the washboard, washtub bass, spoons, whistles, saws and jug. The class will also learn about conventional instruments such as the guitar banjo, clarinet and saxophone. Classes will be held on July 23, 24, 25 and 27 from 10 to 11:15 a.m. At the end of the class, students will be invited to perform with the band at Celebrate Summer at the River on Saturday, July 28 at 3 p.m. at Tunkhannock’s Riverside Park. Sounds like fun, right? Class admission is free, but space is limited. So call us now at 570.996.1500 for more information or to sign up. If your child is more interested in the visual arts, the Dietrich will present a camp during the same week that is geared more for aspiring artists.

LIBRARY NEWS

BY MARY ANN MCGRATH

A recent shipment of new books to the Abington Community Library included a treasure trove of mysteries, some by established authors of suspense and others by newcomers just joining their ranks. Look for or put in a request for one or more of the following: “Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch,” by Nancy Atherton. A fragment of a family diary hints that one of Mrs. Amelia Thistle’s ancestors might have been Mistress Meg, the Mad Witch of Finch. Following a series of cryptic clues hidden around the sleepy village, Lori Shepherd sets off to help Amelia discover the truth. With Aunt Dimity’s otherworldly help, Lori inches closer to the true story of Mistress Meg --- and Amelia. “Burning Midnight: an Amos Walker Novel,” by Loren D. Estleman. Walker, longtime private investigator, is called on to intervene when 16-year-old Ernesto Pasada, a member of one of Detroit’s most powerful Mexican gangs, the Maldados, becomes involved in a feud with a rival gang, the Zapatistas, that has escalated into violence. His instincts tell him that something darker than gang enmity is behind the havoc and that if he doesn’t find Ernesto soon, the teenager may be a victim of the violence. “Antiques Disposal,” by Barbara Allan. Brandy Borne and her mother, Vivian, have the winning bid on an abandoned storage unit’s “mystery” contents, which they discover includes a vintage cornet, but when they arrive to claim their loot, the space is empty, except for the recently stowed body of Big Jim Bob, Vivian’s former flame. Then an intruder breaks into the Borne home and makes off with the cornet, but why is the horn worth killing for? “A Bad Day for Mercy,” by Sophie Littlefield. Fifty-one year old Stella Hardesty learns that her step-nephew, Chip, has been threatened with bodily harm if he doesn’t settle his unpaid gambling debts, but when she arrives at Chip’s home in Wisconsin, she must confront Chip and his girlfriend, Natalya, about the man they insist was already dead when they found him. Suspicious, but compelled to help family, Stella goes about tracking down other suspects. “Hush Money,” by Chuck Greaves. When Hush Puppy, Pasadena socialite Sydney Everett’s champion show horse, dies under mysterious circumstances, junior lawyer Jack McTaggart is assigned to handle the insurance claim. The case soon takes an unexpected turn, however, thrusting Jack into a spiraling web of blackmail and murder in which he finds himself both the prime suspect and the next likely victim.

The Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed Management District works hard to keep Lake Wallenpaupack clean for everyone.” The LWWMD is a multigovernmental, nonprofit corporation that manages the Lake Wallenpaupack

watershed and addresses water quality problems. Each year, Sculpted Ice Works manufactures more than 12,000 crystal clear ice carving blocks in their plant and transforms them into ice sculptures of all sizes. Crouthamel, master carver and founder of Sculpted Ice Works in 1999, has spent several years developing a factory tour of the ice plant and a museum to capture the history of naturally harvested ice, with a focus on the Pocono region. Years ago, harvesting lake ice in the region was both a large commercial industry as well as done locally for farms and families. The museum

The Northeastern group of the Pennsylvania Sierra Club will present the film “Vanishing of the Bees” July 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lackawanna State Park Learning Center. For several years, honey bees have been mysteriously disappearing all over the world. Without them, trees can’t produce apples or nearly any other fruit and many vegetables won’t grow. Beekeepers believe there must be reasons for the trend, but it baffles scientists . The film explores the disappearance of the small yet vital insect that helps farms from around the United States supply food to the world.

SURVIVOR

Continued from Page 1

posed to smoking, she understands the ease in which the habit is picked up and the difficulty smokers face in trying to quit. “No one deserves to die” Sheila McDonough, of Olyphant, is another strong advocate for the position that “no one deserves to die,” which is also the theme of a campaign run by the Lung Cancer Alliance. “My grandmother died from lung cancer,” McDonough said via e-mail. “Did she smoke? Yes. My sister has lung cancer. Does she smoke? No, never did. Does that mean that my grandmother deserved to die? No.” She said when her grandmother was diagnosed, the family grieved, but was not shocked. But when her sister, who had never smoked and was still young, was diagnosed it was different. “It shook our family to the core,” she said. This was when her son, Timmy Walsh, then age six (now 10), started the non-profit fundraiser Camera For a Cure to raise money for the Lung Cancer Alliance. McDonough said she remembers sitting one evening in the hospital waiting room wondering if her sister was dying, not sure how to answer her niece’s many questions. She said she couldn’t imagine being in that situation at such a young age, as it was difficult enough as an adult. But that is also a reason she said the new Pa. chapter is so important. “The Lung Cancer Alliance is so much about helping people cope,” she said. She pointed out when her sister was diagnosed, it was an incidental finding, meaning it was not what the doctors were investigating. “We need more awareness and early detection. If we knew that we are higher at risk for lung cancer, maybe we would have been more careful. Maybe we would have been going to the doctor more with our symptoms [both sisters have a history of frequent bronchitis]. Maybe my sister would have been diagnosed earlier, instead of stage 3A. Maybe.” The need to do “something positive” Another person whose life was shaken by lung cancer is Rita Fenton, of Clarks Summit. She said her husband died of the disease three years ago, and just 11 months before that, she lost another “dear friend” to the same. “It’s tough to see a loved one go through treatment,” she said, adding that when it was over, she found herself needing to do something positive. Fenton first heard about the Lung Cancer Alliance through its annual candlelight vigil, Shine the Light. The next year, she said she decided to participate, and since then, has been involved in various fundraisers and events. Of the new Pa. chapter, she said, “It’s important to bring it closer to our people…spread the word as far as we can. I think it’s kind of neat to have it right here.” She also expressed a desire to help others going through the same thing she did, and her advice to them is to do research, find a positive outlet and know they are not alone. Arscott said anyone interested in getting involved in the new Pa. Chapter of the Lung Cancer Alliance is invited to its next meeting, Aug. 8 at 6 p.m. at Anna Maria’s Restaurant, Dunmore. Questions can also be directed to her at arscott@marywood.edu. There are currently eight chapters nationally, according to Kay Confrancesco, Director of Advocacy Relations at Lung Cancer Alliance, Washington D.C. The organization began in 1995 in Washington state and moved to Washington D.C. in 2005. She said most of its funding comes from private, family, corporate and individual donations. Confrancesco said the new chapter is especially important because it’s based in an area (NEPA) where “a comprehensive plan is needed.” She expressed gratitude toward the Arscotts for their direction, saying they are the “true faces of the disease,” from both a personal and medical standpoint. Arscott said she has many hopes and dreams for the future of the new chapter, the biggest being to have a local lung cancer prevention, screening and treatment center. “We need to help people, and we need to help families as well,” she said, adding that because the disease doesn’t leave many survivors, there aren’t enough to raise a voice alone.

Farmers market a ‘one-stop’ shop BY GERARD E. NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. – The Abington Farmers Market provided locally-sourced food before it was trendy, and this year is no exception. The annual co-op, around for nearly 20 years, will set up shop at South Abington Community Park, selling commodities ranging from fresh produce to baked goods. “We really have all the bases covered,” said Michelle LaCoe, spokesperson for the market. “There’s a

lot of variety. People can do a onestop shop.” Among the items available are jams, flowers, sauces, eggs, baked goods, honey, vegetables, maple syrup, fruits, herbs and spices. Each vendor focuses on a few goods so that there’s great variety and quality, LaCoe said. One farmer may have garlic but no dill while another may have no garlic but an abundance of dill. Each vendor’s offerings seem to complement the others’, and that’s where the variety comes from, she said.

Throughout the summer, the market hosts charitable events through a partnership with the Abington Business & Professional Association. For example, last year the Voluntary Action Center of NEPA partnered with the market and the Abington Community Library to collect books for underprivileged children. “The Abington community was extremely generous,” she said. The book drive yielded more than 100 donated books. This year the market may host the book drive again, she said.

Abington area residents are already eager for the market to open, according to LaCoe. She said she recognizes the community’s support for the market and speaks for all of the vendors in expressing gratitude. “The Abington community has been extremely supportive of the farmers market. We’re extremely grateful.” The market is set to open July 21 at South Abington Community Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be open each Saturday through the end of October.

SWAPPING

regularly to provide the community with a sustainable and free means to share edible goods. “In all of these big metropolitan cities, people are coming together and sharing, and building a sense of community. It (food swapping) is sustainable, free to participate and is a great evening of swapping and sharing. I don’t want to travel to the bigger cities to swap; I want to bring food swapping to Northeastern Pennsylvania. It’s something I think the area needs and will embrace…,” said Fleming, who invited McClellan, author of “Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year Round,” and one of the co-founders of the Philadelphia swap group, to visit Scranton to participate in the event. McClellan, a food blogger, cookbook author and canning teacher, is currently freelance for Grid Philly, Serious Eats the Food Network Blog, USA Today and Mrs. Wages, and shares a passion for canning, preserving and food swapping. “The food swap movement is a really great part of this sort of canning and preserving explosion,” said McClellan, who grew up in Southern California and Oregon. “We always had fruit trees or berry bushes at the homes I grew up in. When I was 26 or 27, I went blueberry picking one day with a friend and came home with 13 pounds of blueberries and thought, ‘Well, what do I do with them?… I guess I need to make some jam…’ I called my mom six times and went to the hardware store to buy canning jars and made my first batch of jam. There was just something about it that felt right to me. Canning really felt like a good niche for me. My mom always did some canning…we made jams a couple time a year, enough to give to family and friends for the holidays and have some to eat.” The author, who always wanted to write a cookbook, said, “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time.” Her book offers an introduction to canning. “All of the batches are really small and the yield is between three and four pints. We don’t need to can to get through the winter anymore. It’s more about making little things you really like or using up produce from your back yard…that’s what this book is designed for…” She added, “I think my book is a really great partner to food swaps because there are a lot of recipes that have a nice yield in terms of things you can bring to a food swap if you can them in half pint or quarter pint jars. You have some to keep; you have some to give away.” For anyone who would like to get started canning, McClellan’s book is available online and at Barnes & Noble and other independent bookstores. Recipes can be found at her website,

ity to treat securing coverage more like a retail experience. From the employer, employees can get health and other types of coverage, including retirement benefits. “If the consumer has the option to buy – why not buy from the employer?” Wylam said. “The employer can offer convenience, and it’s one -stop shopping for all your health and welfare needs. That message has really always

In attendance at the event were Fleming, McClellan, Donna Czarkowski, Lisa Burke, Donna Gard-Lengner, Elaine Waskovich, Westyn Hinchey, Mark Bonfiglio, Barbara Torda, Marie King and Joe Peters, Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple executive director. Czarkowski, owner of Cloe & Company, located at 410 South State St., Clarks Summit, one of the participants, swapped samples of her “Wedding Time Tea” for items such as simple syrup, hummus and an Italian salad and later said, “Coming upon the event, I wasn’t expecting the opportunity I had there. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet all of those people. The fellowship is what is most important. How often do you get to network and have fellowship?” Peters said the Scranton Cultural Center was thrilled to introduce the venue to a unique audience. “Hosting this food swapping event at the Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple will bring awareness and access to a world of people that may not have known it existed otherwise. He shared what he described as they benefits of food swapping. “Food swapping is fun, but also economical. The economics are enhanced further when swappers preserve their summer vegetables and produce, and then bring those out-of-season goods to the winter swap. Food swapping is so in-sync with other concepts important to me like sustainability, farm-to-table, farmers’ markets, organics and growing local,” said Peters. Fleming noted the next food swap is planned for fall and she has set up a Facebook page, facebook.com/#!/NEPAswappers, for anyone who would like to get on board with the food swapping network. Items swapped are limited to handmade or hand grown. For the fall swap, she said she expects to see “apples, pumpkin breads, spiced muffins, soups, recipes with the fall squashes and summer harvest produce that was canned or preserved.”

been there, but employers haven’t packaged the value that way before. It’s daunting for employees to look through multiple plans.” The biggest challenge for everyone, according to Wylam, is knowing that new trails are being blazed and the details on how to do so are sketchy. The survey also revealed that 62 percent of employers indicated they are “still trying to wrap their heads around it”.

Abington wins Big League district title While many other little league programs in Northeast Pa. struggle with participation, the Abington Little League has remained strong. According to the league, one of the reasons is the continued commitment to improving the facilities for the players, parents and spectators. Previously, the league had provided opportunities for children to play at all levels from T-Ball all the way through Senior League. This year, the league expanded further when it added a “Big League” team. The “Big League” division of little league is for boys 16-18 years old who want to continue to play baseball. The first -year Big League team had tremendous success as it traveled throughout Northeast Pa. facing teams from Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. The core of this team is a group of seniors from Abington Heights High School who wanted to finish their baseball season on a positive note. The roster also included several

athletes from the Abingtons who either played for other high schools or had played on other sports teams in high school. There are also several players from the Christy Mathewson league who joined the team, as they had no program available to them. Throughout the regular season and the playoffs everyone contributed to this team effort as the squad finished an undefeated regular season. The Big League team, the Abington Sportsmen’s Club, won the District title by sweeping the West Scranton team in two straight games. Abington opened the best of three championship series with a 6-0 victory over West Scranton. Abington jumped out to a quick lead in the first inning on a two run single by Josh Slocum. In the fifth inning, aggressive base-running by John Vassil helped set the table for four more runs; with the key hit coming from Kyle Yahn. Bill McDermott, Josh Slocum, and Robbie Ayre all had two

hits for Abington. Jason Subasic got the game win for Abington, striking out seven and allowing only three hits. In game two, Robbie Ayre pitched six innings while only allowing two runs on five hits. As they did in game one, the Abington bats came alive early and allowed them to score three runs in the first inning highlighted by Mason Mecke’s two run double. Abington added single runs in the fourth and sixth innings on a triple by Neil Hawk and a double by Jason Subasic. Abington finished third in the State Big League Tournament held at Mansfield University. They defeated a District 12 team, 6-1, in the first game. In their second game, they defeated the team from District 27, 7-6. They suffered their first loss to a Philadelphia team from District 28 in the winner’s bracket final, 15-5. The Sportsmen were eliminated from the tournament in their next game by the eventual champion from District 12.
