TS_CNG/SUBURBAN/PAGES [S01] | 04/22/15 10:51 | LONGOSTEPH by Stephanie Longo ABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITOR It’s the community that keeps Clarks Summit beautiful. That’s the overwhelming sentiment gracing borough streets this Saturday, April 25, when members of the Abington Business Association (ABPA), borough officials and residents will par- ticipate in a borough-wide cleanup in honor of Earth Day. ABPA members and friends will gather at the Clarks Summit Borough Building, 304 S. State St., at 9 a.m., to help spruce up a stretch of State Street from the borough line on Routes 6 and 11 to the intersection of State and Grove streets. Depending on the amount of volunteers who come to assist, they will also help clean up side streets, such as Depot Street and the future site of the Finish Shop Pocket Park. According to ABPA president Gail Rees, this year’s cleanup is round two of a partnership forged with Clarks Summit Borough officials. “Last year, as the borough of Clarks Summit was making plans to acknowledge Earth Day, borough manager Virginia Kehoe approached me to see if the ABPA would be interested in spear- heading a town cleanup,” she said. “Of course, as president of the organization, I felt it was ap- propriate to involve the ABPA in the project as another means to increase our value and vis- ibility within the Abingtons. We registered with the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania website, which enabled us to get supplies, such as safety vests, gloves and trash bags donated by PennDOT and Keep America Beautiful.” For those who wish to spruce up their own residences, especially now that income tax season is over, Frontier Communications and Clarks Summit Borough Mayor Patty Lawler are sponsoring “Shred-Fest” at the Clarks Sum- mit Elementary School, 401 W. Grove St. From 9 a.m. to noon, residents can bring up to four bags or boxes of any documentation they would like shredded and give it to the “Purple People Eater.” An optional $5 donation for shredding will benefit the construction of the Finish Shop Pocket Park. “It’s an opportunity for residents to safely get rid of documents with personal information and help the community at the same time,” Lawler said. “We are always on a mission to ‘go green’ in Clarks Summit. Mascaro and Sons sponsored our Earth Day advertising and Frontier Communica- tions will sponsor the shredding truck. Even our local Boy Scout Troop 160 is getting involved as they will be on hand to help with the boxes. We are environmentally friendly in Clarks Summit and events like the cleanup and Shred-Fest this weekend are just one way we show that commit- ment.” Various community groups and organi- zations will also be out beautifying the bor- ough, including the Abington Rotary Club, the Abington Lions Club, the Clarks Sum- mit United Methodist Church, the Abington Girl Scouts and The Gathering Place. Rees said any other community groups or organiza- tions wishing to participate can contact her at 570-587-0505. “As stewards of the community, the Abing- ton Business and Professional Association looks to foster partnerships within our market and, besides, we owe it to Mother Nature to ‘pay it forward,’” Rees said. “Wouldn’t it be ideal if we didn’t have to wait for Earth Day to care for our environment?” Clarks Summit Borough is also encouraging residents to sweep up cinders or gravel in front of their homes. If residents are willing to do so, they can call the borough offices at 570-586-9316 during the week of April 27 to May 1 and the Department of Public Works will pick up and recycle them.

Keystone Presents‘The Good Doctor’ to beperformed this week

The Keystone Players will present “TheGood Doctor,” a comedy with music byNeil Simon, from Thursday-Saturday,April 23-25, at 7:30 p.m. at Keystone Col-lege’s Brooks Theatre in La Plume.In “The Good Doctor,” Anton Chek-

hov, in the character of “The Writer,”played by Josh McNulty, chats with the au-dience about the writing life. As story ideastake shape in his mind, the characters seemto slip out of his mind and onto the stage topresent some of his most famous short sto-ries in a series of short scenes. The storiesrange from the slapstick comedy of “Sur-gery” and “A Poor Defenseless Creature”to the ironic wit of “The Sneeze,” “TheDrowned Man” and “The Seduction.”In addition to McNulty, the cast in-

cludes students Kim Boland, AndrewCoyle, Harry Krenitsky, Sarah Langan,Courtney McCreary and Dalton Nixon,many of whom juggle multiple roles. Fea-tured in the play’s musical number, “TooLate for Happiness,” are students JackieNat and Terry Fleming. Keystone alumniJoshua Harris, Kelly Langan and Brink

Powell add their talents to the ensemble.Powell also serves as stage manager. Su-pervising the student production staff isLaurel Radzieski, technical director, also aKeystone College alumna.“I’m surprised ‘The Good Doctor’ isn’t

better known,” said Jane Honchell, Key-stone College’s director of theater. “It’s aterrific play, and the vocal and instrumen-tal music add additional interest and tex-ture to the stories.”She noted that the play’s humor has

kept the cast laughing, even after weeks ofrehearsals.“With most plays, the comedy tends to

lose its impact on the actors after manyrehearsals, but the brilliant combinationof Simon and Chekhov is irresistible,” shesaid. “I can’t think of a better play to helpcure the blahs of this long winter.”Tickets are $10 general admission and

$5 for senior citizens and students and maybe purchased at the door or by contactingHonchell at [email protected] 570-945-8454.

Featured in TheKeystone Players’production of NeilSimon’s ” The GoodDoctor” is a series ofshort scenes basedon stories by An-ton Chekhov. One isthe tale of “The De-fenseless Creature,”who bullies an ailingbanker into givingher money. From left:Courtney McCrearyas the assistant,Joshua Harris as thebanker and SarahLangan as the de-fenseless creature.

Open Election ForumDear Editor,The surest harbinger of spring in NEPA

is truly the election signs that dot yardsand roadways about the area. For those ofus who reside in the Abingtons, one raceshould stand out more than any other. Thedistrict magistrate position is incrediblyimportant to the average resident of anysmall community. Not only is it the firstline of dispute settlement for many civiland criminal matters, it is also the only in-teraction most of us will ever have with thejustice system.Wouldn’t it be prudent for the commu-

nity to meet and know the candidates forthis important position? It has been quitesome time since the last open election fordistrict magistrate in our community andthere is probably a strong need for us all to

be reminded of the importance and dutiesof the job.I believe that an open forum is an ap-

propriate vehicle for each candidate tohave the opportunity to address the pub-lic. Most of the candidates are making therounds at local supermarkets, bars and res-taurants but is that really the way we wantto select a magistrate? I would much ratherhear each one offer his or her qualificationsfor our consideration in an environmentdesigned for such a purpose. The candi-dates could respond to unscripted publicquestions in addition sharing prepared re-marks. I believe just seeing the candidatesand hearing their thoughts on the magis-trate’s office would prove far more valuablethan the five minutes’ face time the regularperson gets meeting the candidate on ourdoorstep or meeting by chance in the park-

ing lot of a church breakfast.Perhaps the newspaper, the League of

Women Voters or even Keystone Collegecould take up the cause of civic educationand organize an open forum for the candi-dates for magisterial district judge. Such acommunity service would help inform thevoters that will decide on a candidate basedon qualifications rather than endorsementsor signs.

Sincerely,Thomas Evans,Clarks Green

Editor’s Note: The Abington Suburbanwill run a Voters Guide on Thursday, May 7,where candidates for all local and county elec-tions will get the chance to present their plat-forms to the public. Submissions are due fromthe candidates by Friday, April 24, at 5 p.m.

by Dave LaurihaABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

Forgive Liam Dougherty for being somodest.When it comes time for baseball season

at Lackawanna Trail, Dougherty isn’t ac-customed to being the main focus becausehe always seems to be trying to come backfrom an injury.This year is no different, as he was on

crutches for two months after the footballseason and before the baseball season.But with all the time he has spent reha-

bilitating from injuries, his latest recoveryperiod was fairly mild and the senior wasready from the opening pitch, helped bythe later-than-usual start because of win-ter’s impact on athletic fields around thearea.While the Lions emerged with wins in

their first three games, Dougherty pointedout many of his teammates for their impacton the team so far, never mentioning hisown name along the way.But Lions head coach Todd Peters saw

it a little bit differently.“He’s pretty much leading all our offen-

sive categories,” Peters said. “He’s gottenoff to a good start.”Entering Monday’s action, Dougherty

was batting .667 with six hits, five runs andhad driven in seven runs for the Lions ac-cording to The Times-Tribune.“It’s going well, and the team is 3-0,”

Dougherty said. “It’s a team effort that’sgetting us wins.”While the snow cover kept the Lions off

their field, it is clear Dougherty used theprecious time to stay healthy and to workhard despite the distraction of being in thegym all that time.“Obviously with the weather, it is dif-

ficult not being outside, but you’ve got toput the work in when you’re in the gym,you’ve got to take it seriously knowing thatyou’re not going to be outside,” Doughertysaid. “Personally, that’s how I handled it,hitting off a tee is kind of what you’re lim-ited to inside, but you have to make themost of it.”Staying focused on what he wanted to

accomplish in his final high school seasonwas a little tougher after sustaining anotherinjury that left him taking time off to heal.“During football, around week five, I

got a stress fracture in my hip and I playedthe rest of the season,” Dougherty said. “Ireally didn’t know what it was; I thoughtthat I had pulled a muscle and I continuedto play through it. I missed the final threegames [in the regular season] and made itback for the playoffs, and after that I found

it was a stress fracture in my hip. I was oncrutches for two months.”But after all he has gone through recov-

ering from other injuries, the three to fourweeks he could work out before baseballseemed like a lifetime to prepare. Instead ofworrying about just getting healthy, he lefthis crutches feeling pretty good and couldworry about getting in shape for baseball.Plus, he had someone to turn to about

recovering from stress fractures.

“My sister [Keirnan] has a long historywith stress fractures, I think she has hadfour of them,” Dougherty said. “Just fromher having them, I had some knowledgeabout how long they take to heal. Thedoctor I went to was very conservative. AsI started getting close to two months withmy crutches, I started getting nervous,about getting back to walking on it, run-ning on it, getting my leg strength back.”As it was, the stress fracture was fairly

mild compared to his previous injury in-curred before his sophomore baseballseason.“I injured my spine, fractured a verte-

brae, dislocated two discs and dislocated avertebrae,” Dougherty said of the injurieshe sustained dead-lifting weights. “I hadsurgery over that summer, but somehowgot back to football that fall.”That recovery period taught him a lot.“I learned a lot of humility in terms of

sports,” Dougherty said. “You don’t knowwhat you have until it’s gone.”Knowing he might have rushed back

before he really was ready after his backinjuries, the senior had the patience tostay on crutches for the entire two-monthperiod, despite his eagerness to ditch themearlier.“I finally felt 100 percent about a week

after I got off the crutches,” Doughertysaid, which was much shorter than the 15months it took to feel that way after hisback injury.Peters was happy to see Dougherty back

at full strength.“When he’s healthy, he’s probably one

of the top players in the league,” Peterssaid. “He’s our number three hitter. There’snot too much to him, but he’s able to gen-erate power for his body. Now that he’s asenior, he’s a leader for us. He comes in,leads our team, taking charge.”Instead of being a question mark this

season, as he has been for much of his highschool career, Dougherty has been an ex-clamation point on the field for the Lions.Next year, when he attends the Universityof Scranton to play baseball, he just hopesthat his injury-riddled past is just that,something in the past and not the future.

Modesty on the MoundLackawanna Trail’s Dougherty brings Lions baseball team success

Lackawanna Trail’s Liam Dougherty is used to bouncing back from injury but is hopingthat when he begins his baseball career as a University of Scranton Royal, the injurieswill be a thing of the past.

Make an enlightened decisionEvery room in the house has its own lighting requiremeeents. However, there a

few general rules about home lighting that can help you ggguarantee a warm andwelcoming living space.

The experts recommend two types of lighting in a room... First, there is generallighting, which comes from a ceiling light or a halogen lammmp. This kind of sourcesends a rather flat and bright light into the entire room.

Second, there is supplementary lighting. This kind of liggghting provides a moreintimate and cozy atmosphere or highlights specific features in the room. Exampleswould be a table lamp in the hall or a pedestal lamp at the eeend of a sofa. This typeof lighting is also used for kitchen countertops, workstationsss, or as a spotlight on apainting. For the latter purpose, table lamps and wall sconceees can help you achievethe desired result.

In the kitchen, it is essential to have plenty of light in the sink and cookingareas. Here, recessed halogen lights with wide coverage areee entirely appropriate.A pendant light fitting equipped with a dimmer for over thhhe dining room table isperfect for either a family meal or a romantic supper for twooo. Be sure to install it atthe correct height so that no one is dazzled when they look uuup.

To encourage conversation in the living room, the focus should be on creatinga quiet, cozy atmosphere by using several types of lights. Place recessed lights,torchiere floor lamps with different light intensities, and taaable lamps in strategiclocations.

You love to read in bed? Make sure the lamp on the bedside table is high enough toshed light on your favorite book without disturbing your loveeed one’s precious sleep.

PC : The right kind of light in the right place can make all thhhe difference in a room.

Your patio and yard sparkle in thesummer sun, but what about when it’sdark? Well-planned lighting is essentialfor the enjoyment and appreciation of

any outdoor space.

FOR SAFETYOutdoor lighting is still important, even aftereveryone has gone to bed. One of the best waysto protect your property against intruders is tohhhave a clear view offf your yard at all times. A motion-detector spotlight is a great optionand only uses electricity when required. That way, youuu can sleep with peace of mmmindwithout wasting energy.

FFFOOORRR PPPRRRAAACCCTTTIIICCCAAALLLIIITTTYYYWhen it comes time to plan the lighting for outdoor aaareas, think about how you uuusethese places once the sun goes down. This will enableee you to choose the best locccationfor the one or two main lights that will illuminate youuur evening activities. The keyyy is toensure good visibility for your activities without spoiliiing the magic of the eveninggg withtoo much bright light.

FOR THE LOOKAdding extra lights can bring new life to your outdoorrr decor. Be creative: garlanddds oflanterns add sparkle to deck railings, and a bundle of little Christmas-type lights iiin anempty Mason jar or wine bottle create a striking tableee centerpiece. It’s easy to creeeatea magical atmosphere for your evenings under the staaars with a little imagination aaandsome objects you already have on hand.

tt ee ee tt!! TheABCs ofpaving

From the driveway to the area around the backyardpool, different types of paving abound. For anoverview of the most decorative to the supremelyfunctional, read on to discover what sort of pavingis best for your project.

Asphalt. Asphalt, the traditional material fordriveways, has proven its worth as far as durabilityis concerned. It continues to be popular because ofits relatively low cost, and if you think it only comesin black, think again.

Concrete. This material has a modern look and isextremely versatile; you can cut it into slabs andcustomize the surface. Concrete can also bearheavier loads than asphalt, although its porousnessmeans it needs to have a coat of sealer appliedfrom time to time.

Slate. This ultra-trendy stone is waterproof and frostresistant, in addition to having a highly sought-afterlook. Like concrete, it requires regular maintenancewith a sealer.

Limestone. Popular for pool surrounds because of itsanti-slip properties, these large-hewn stones are alsoa frequent choice for decorative steps and paths.

Travertine. Theres no doubt that travertine is durable.After all, Rome’s ancient coliseum was almost entirelybuilt with this stone. It’s an elegant choice that keepsits color well over the years.

Brick. In addition to being the best environmentalchoice, brick offers a timeless look and requires littlemaintenance.

Sandstone. Like limestone, sandstone is slip resistant.It’s very durable and economical and is available in awide range of styles.

Don’t hesitate to consult a specialist before comingto a decision. After all, your investment could last fordecades if you do it right.

PC : Choosing the right paving materials can addinstant character to your yard.

Green SceneA column from the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commission

by Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

A friend of mine called me this weekand described an unusual situation. Herson, not a giant, but a strapping teenagernonetheless, had been playing frisbee ona friend’s front lawn. An errant throw orcatch had resulted in not a broken arm ora broken branch, but a broken ornamen-tal tree. The lads responsibly told the par-ents and surgically repaired the trunk withhoundstooth-patterned duct tape. From adistance, you could not tell the tree hadbeen damaged. Now the question is — willthe tree survive?Especially if the break was not complete,

it is possible that by resetting the tree, nu-trients and water will be able to move be-tween the crown and the roots. It is likelythat the tree will break bud this spring andproduce some leaves. But does this meanthat the tree has been saved? I suppose bysome criterion this might be true, but willthe houndstooth duct tape last a decade? Ifmy friend’s son had run into a different treeand broken his arm, the bone would be re-set and the arm would be in a cast for sev-eral weeks while the broken bone healed.Wounded trees do not heal; instead theycompartmentalize damage. Imagine if for abroken arm, the break in the bone neverrejoined but, instead, repair came throughthe growth of new bone around the oldbone, including the break. When wouldthe arm be ready to come out of the cast?Trees grow only at the outermost edge

of the trunk or branch. Each year, a newlayer of xylem, the water transport system,is added to the circumference of the tree,adding a ring. The tree then grows in di-ameter. Damage to a tree is permanent buteventually is swallowed up or encapsulatedby successive additions of xylem.So how many years and how many lay-

ers of xylem will be enough to allow thisbroken tree to stand on its own against thewind and weight of leaves, flowers, rainand snow? My guess is that the duct tapewill be long gone by this time.What should be done in this case? First,

the broken tree, which is part of a seriesof three planted along a driveway, shouldbe removed and replaced. Second, sincethe brittle, grafted hydrangea trees linethe driveway and the lawn, and since thelawn is obviously used for rough play, thehydrangea trees should be protected notonly from play but also from driveway,snowplow or parking damage. The treescould be protected with companion plant-ings and continuous landscape beds. Theseplantings would function like the warn-ing track in baseball fields, signaling thatthe lawn or play area is ending. Third, anystaking of these trees should be light andtemporary, ensuring that the grafted trunksgrow firm on their own.
