Embattled Waverly

WAVERLY TWP. — The accounts of Waverly’s “Colored Hill” are sketchy, but there is no doubt it existed. Home to a settlement of fugitive slaves in the 1800s, the township played a role in the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad.

The truth is complicated and author Jim Remsen set out on a journey to discover what could be found about these early settlers in Northeast Pennsylvania. Remsen’s book, “Embattled Freedom,” uncovers the history of black civil war soldiers and the world they encountered in the Abingtons.

Remsen’s love of history came from his father, who was an avid historian. The author grew up in Waverly, and is a 1967 graduate of Abington Heights. He lives with his wife of 40 years, Harriet, on the edge of Philadelphia.

The religion editor for the Philadelphia Enquirer for many years, Remsen found time in retirement to pursue his love of history. While on a road trip he discovered pieces of Pennsylvania history that had

been under-taught and largely forgotten. Remsen dived into research; his years of journalistic writing gave him the tools he needed. His historical novel, “Visions of Teaoga” was published in 2014.

Remsen’s latest book, “Embattled Freedom,” published by Sunbury Press and released earlier this year, is historical nonfiction.

“It’s crisply written,” Remsen said. “It’s a page-turner that walks you through state history during the 1800s. You follow along with black fugitive slaves and their experience, but you’re learning about white attitudes, white politics and white culture of the day that they were thrown into.”

A grant from the Willary Foundation, set up by the children of Governor William and Mary Scranton, helped fund the completion of Remsen’s research.

Remsen’s journey to find the truth took him to historical societies, the national historical archives in Washington, D.C., battlefields in the south and locations throughout Pennsylvania.

JUlIE JEFFEry maNwarrEN / For aBINgtoN SUBUrBaN

The Waverly United Methodist Church is located on the square by the Waverly Comm. Jim Remsen will give a talk at the historic church on Sunday, Oct. 14.

The book covers the Underground Railroad and the escape to freedom, as well as the involvement of black Americans in the Civil War and beyond.

“Embattled Freedom” shows how and where the movement hap-

pened in the Abingtons. Remsen brings to light a sad time in our nation’s history where an ordering of the races was rampant and overt.

Firefighter Spotlight: Mike Pehonich S. ABINGTON TWP. — Mike Pehonich joined the Chinchilla Hose Company in 2005. Through the past 13 years, he has been a lieutenant, captain and is now an assistant chief.

“When I was younger, firefighting was something I wanted to do,” he said.

“There was an opportunity to join the fire department and I took it.”

Through the fire company a person can learn certain skills such as rescue training, rope rescue and vehicle rescue.

Pehonich works for UGI Utilities.

He is married to Brittany Pehonich.

“The fire company is a second family,” he said. “It is an opportunity to get to

meet new people.

“You get to learn a lot of things being a volunteer firefighter that you would not think about.

You can learn electric and plumbing. People today are not going into trades.

Firefighting can help tremendously for school kids going into trades.”

Pehanich likes to hunt and enjoy the outdoors.

“People work two or three jobs and do not have the time to volunteer,” said Pehomich. “You are away from your family and you can get a call any hour, any time or any day. You have to drop what you are doing to help a neighbor. It is a lifestyle that people have and enjoy volunteering firefighting.”

Removing my shoes and wading through 1,750 bushels of corn was not among the activities I expected to engage in over the weekend. But life wouldn’t be much fun without an occasional dose of spontaneity. So, when friends urged me to join them in the giant corn box at Roba Family Orchard in Scott Township on Saturday morning, I dove in.

It didn’t take much convincing; it looked like fun.

And it was.

The corn box is like a giant sandbox, filled with kernels of corn. Step inside and your feet sink in the golden grain. Step out and kernels come with you, spilling out of your clothing for the rest of the day. Especially if you lie down and make a corn angel (like a snow angel, but with corn) or allow someone to bury you in it (like the beach, but with corn).

Yes, I know this from experience.

Nine of us – six adults and three children – gathered to spend the morning and afternoon together at the orchard. But I think each adult made an unspoken decision to be a child at heart for the day.

After the corn box, we headed to the pumpkin bounce (a big pumpkinshaped trampoline), followed by the carousel, then a lunch of steaming hot macaroni and cheese.

Next, we wandered the sunflower field – or what was left of it – in search of the perfect bouquets. It was too late in the season to see the flowers in their full glory, but it was still beautiful. Next year I hope to visit earlier, before the flowers start to die.

We ended the day with a ride up to the orchard to pick (and yes, eat) some apples. It almost became a contest to see who could fit the most apples in our 1/4 peck bags. I squeezed in 10 of the smallest honeycrisps I could find. This variety, as the name suggests, is sweet and crispy. And those I picked on Saturday are some of the juiciest apples I’ve ever tasted.

I could have eaten them all raw, but I had a hankering to try something new.

So, after returning home Saturday evening, I took Please see Apples, Page 12

Fall bloom lessons In last week’s column, I mentioned my surprise at finding blooms on an apple tree this fall. In researching this anomaly, I discovered that climatological – no, not the global warming kind –factors result in a disruption to the normal bud development. This means that for some buds, winter’s cold is not needed to bring on the bloom, so the bloom happens out of season. The results of this type of disruption are seen as often as every six years.

But my research led me to some new insights that are more practical for homeowners. The insights relate to growth habits of roots.

Let’s begin by reviewing the explanation for the climatological disruption to the apple trees.

Fall-blooming apples are

caused by wet springs followed by droughts in summer’s heat. Believe it or not, from a climate perspective, to a tree, summer heat is hotter and drier if the spring was cool and damp. This is because, in a damp spring, the tree is spoiled, and grows all of its new feeder roots near the surface. In other words, the tree does not have to go digging for water in the spring. But when the climate turns up the heat in summer, this spring-spoiled tree does not have its roots deep enough to tap the deeper moisture that survives the baking heat of summer’s oven. So the tree has to transition to defense, and this transition is what disrupts the development of its buds.

I had no idea that root systems on woody perennials—the tree that stirred my

study is much older than me—were so dynamic. For anyone who has tried to dig anywhere near a tree, it seems counter-intuitive that roots could be affected by a single spring’s rainfall. Yet most of us lump structural and feeder roots into the same category, and the lessons lie in the implications of separating root categories and characteristics.

First, because the positioning of feeder roots is dynamic, irrigation practices can impact the health and structure of a tree. Shallow, frequent watering will encourage surface rooting, and surface rooting is not sustainable for tree health.

Second, this discussion of surface-level feeder roots impacts our thoughts of caring for our trees. If our vision of a tree’s roots mirrors the

image of its crown, we will have no problem driving under trees or digging, applying lawn chemicals, etc. But understanding that a single spring’s rainfall characteristics can affect the dormancy and development of a tree will also help us to see that we need to protect and nourish the health of the ground under our trees.

Third, this phenomenon explains the mystery of tree roots “suddenly” invading wet lawns. The feeder roots will follow the water to the surface, and since all structural roots were once feeder roots, wet lawns will soon become “rooty.”

Two communities in the Abingtons recently learned they will receive state grant funding for sewer projects.

Clarks Green will receive $200,000 to evaluate and repair portions of the sewer system there. The funding comes from the state Department of Community and Economic Development’s Small Water and Sewer Program, which aids municipalities in paying for construction, improvement, expansion or rehabilitation or repair of water and sanitary

sewer systems.

The money will be used to send cameras through sewer lines to find damaged spots, make repairs to damaged parts of the line and to shore up areas where lengths of the pipe connect, borough Councilman David Rinaldi said.

The grant will help the borough limit unwanted water flow from entering its sewers, which is composed of old, terra cotta pipes, Rinaldi said. The funding will continue efforts the borough has engaged in over the past few years to repair the sewage pipes, which is more cost

effective than replacing the lines, he said.

“You want your system to be closed because you only want to treat what you have to,” Rinaldi said. “We end up treating a lot of rainwater.”

Unwanted water entering sewer lines caused undue stress on the treatment plant and is also expensive, said Lauren Elliott, director of the Abington Re gional Wastewater Authority.

The authority treats sewage from Clarks Green, Clarks Summit and South Abington Township. Additional water flows can

require additional manpower, which spikes overtime costs, and also requires more chemicals to treat, Elliott said. Repair projects will help limit that, she said.

“We treat two to three million gallons daily normally,” Elliott said. “When it rains, it can hit 20 million. That’s not all sewage.”

Waverly Township also received money through the program, a $42,616 grant for a pump station replacement.

and wasn’t fully finished, so they finished it. The book is “Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!” I don’t own it, but anytime I see it at a library, I stop and read it to my kids.

What are you reading right now? I’m reading a re-telling of the Nutcracker. I like retakes on classics.

What brought you io the Library today? My daughter is in the home schooling program.

Do you have a favorite book or author at the moment? I have a favorite kid’s book and it’s by Dr. Seuss. It was found after he died

When did you first start to enjoy reading? I didn’t start reading until sixth grade and I didn’t really enjoy it until high school.

What made high school different? I could pick out my own books rather than read what my mom chose.

That’s why I homeschool, because I want my kids to be able to discover and enjoy education. My kids are readers and that’s amazing to me.

Books and baked goods coming up new spin bikes we are offering exciting workout opportunities for cyclers.

What is your favorite part of doing business in the Abingtons? I grew up here and love the connectiviness and serving people I

know such as former teachers, my friends and their children, my mother and her friends. Having a small facility in this great small town where not only do I support my clients, but they support me.

DALTON — It’s Book and Bake Sale time. We have a busy month ahead of us at the Dalton Community Library and we are ready for it. We will host our fall Book & Bake Sale Saturday, Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We have so much to offer at this sale – a lot of fiction and non fiction books, children’s books, biographies, mysteries, magazines, DVDs, VHS tapes, books about gardening, animals and crafts. In particular, we have a lot of art books on our sale shelves. If sketching or painting is an interest, check out the art section of the sale.

Remember, along with our book sale, we also have a bake sale. Cookies, breads and brownies are always on our goody table.

Grab a great book or two, and satisfy your sweet tooth all in one stop.

Children’s programs The children’s programs at the Dalton Community Library are off to a great start this fall. Story Time has been full of fun while hearing books, enjoying age appropriate activities and sharing time together with friends. The children have been busy exercising their memory, finding items that match each other, playing with STEM toys and reviewing numbers, colors and

the alphabet.

What an enjoyable time we have.

Our Kid’s Crew group has been spending time after school on Tuesdays using magnets, building, doing art and engaging in discussions about school, sports and books.

During October, the Lackawanna County Library System is participating in Operation “Dear Santa.” This is a county-wide collection of gently used books to help make Christmas happy for some children in our community. Patrons may bring a gently used book to any Lackawanna Library to donate this month.

Keep in mind that Columbus Day is Monday, Oct. 8. The library will be closed this day.

We hope everyone can make some time to attend our Book & Bake Sale.

It’s always nice to see friendly faces.

Knee Pain - What If There Was A Way You Could Avoid Dangerous Surgery?

CLARKS GREEN (PA) - If you or a loved one suffer fron chronic knee pain - so bad that it can even stop you from walking - then attending this Workshop may be the most important thing you do this year. It may unlock the agonizing mystery of your knee pain and show you a way to get back to the life you deserve...

A life where you can walk up and down the stairs without worrying when your knee is going to ‘give-out’, or the pain stops you in your tracks.

A life where you can enjoy leisurely walks with friends and family and not worry if you’re going to make it or not, restricted by a knee so painful.

A life where you can pick up and play with your grandkids without worrying when your knee is going to stop you from getting back up.

A life where you can do and enjoy all the things you see so many others doing and enjoying, but your bad knee has kept you watching from the side-lines. ...Basically, a life without the curse of knee pain.

If You Feel Let Down, Disappointed, And Even Skeptical About What Can Be Done To Help You, Then Read On...

My name is John Salva, Clarks Green’s leading knee pain specialist, and I have been helping people live with much less knee pain for more than a decade now. And what we know now is that so many people are confused by the advice they’ve previously been given, unsure about why it didn’t work out... perhaps even skeptical about their best chances of living with

By Leading Physical Therapist, John Salva less knee pain in the future... and that’s why I created this one hour Workshop entitled: “The Best Kept Secrest Of Easing Knee Pain And Staying Pain Free” - and decided to make it FREE to the residents of Clarks Green.

When you attend, first you’ll discover just how many other options there are available to you - and how safe and simple they are - then we think you’ll agree with the many attendees who’ve already gone before you who now say it truly is possible to get relief from chronic knee pain, even if you’ve suffered for 20 years or more.

Here’s What You’ll Discover At This New Workshop: The 7 urgent coping strategies every knee pain sufferer must never forget when knee pain strikes!!

Why 50-53% of people make their own knee pain WORSE by doing just this one thing wrong!

The 7 things you can do if you’re hoping to avoid surgery that’ll cost you nothing...

The most successful treatments for knee pain that doesn’t involve any drugs.

The 3 best exercises that you can do at home, in your living room or even from your couch... that’ll help you walk further for longer.

How to get a free “injury severity” knee pain examination and where to go for it...

If you’re currently seeing a doctor, thinking about it, or just don’t want to face the hassle of talking to your insurance, but still want to get some real help, then you need to consider attending this Free Workshop which reveals “The Best Kept

Secrets For Living With Less Knee Pain And Staying Pain Free!”

You Should Only Attend This Workshop If: 1) You or a loved one suffer from knee pain 2) You’re suffering with knee pain after the Steamtown Marathon.

3) You are currently seeing a doctor or thinking about it.

4) You have an open mind and willing to act upon new advice.

You Should NOT Attend This Workshop If: 1) You are just a “curiosity” seeker. We only have a limited number of seats available, please don’t take one from somebody who really needs the help.

2) You have a closed mind and won’t listen to any new advice no matter what.

If you meet the qualifications above, here’s What To Do Next: Pick up the telephone. Take action in your own selfinterest and protect your future independence and mobility.

Save yourself from a lifetime of suffering more knee pain than you need to.

Lines opened today... and we only have a limited number of seats available for this amazing workshop on Wednesday October 10th at 7pm. To save your seat and request your free information pack to be sent to you today, call free on: (570) 319-6903 or www.impactphysio.net/knee-workshop and register online.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2018

A long journey home WWII soldier’s remains laid to rest in South Abington Twp. after 74 years For 74 years, Army Pfc. Willard “Bud” Jenkins was an unknown soldier buried in a cemetery more than 3,500 miles from his West Scranton home.

Thanks to DNA testing, his remains were laid to rest Wednesday less than seven miles from where he grew up.

At a service for the late veteran, whose remains were identified in July and returned to Scranton from the Netherlands, a folded American flag and an army uniform rested in a half-open casket flanked by red, white and blue bouquets. A second American flag draped the lower half of the casket. A third, folded in a triangle like the first, sat in a case below a large photo of Jenkins in uniform.

On Sept. 20, 1944, the 27-year-old Jenkins — a paratrooper with Company C, 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division — was hit twice by enemy fire while crossing the Waal River at the Dutch city of Nijmegen during the infamous Allied offensive Operation Market Garden. Jenkins fell from his flimsy canvas boat into the water. His body, which could not be identified, was buried as an “unknown” at the American cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands.

Inside the Edward J. Chomko Funeral Home on Wednesday, Edna Jenkins, 83, the last living member of the soldier’s immediate family, sat in the chair closest to her brother’s casket.

On her left was a box of

tissues. On her right sat Army Sgt. 1st Class Norman Green. Her DNA was used to identify her brother, and it was finally time to give him a proper burial.

“It was my twin sister and I that he fussed over all the time,” Jenkins said, recalling how Bud would carry her and her sister, Edna, on his shoulders when they were girls. “I didn’t know if we could hope about this because it’s 74 years already.”

During the service, the Rev. Ginger Daubenhauser recited the 23rd Psalm and read the World War I-era poem “In Flanders Fields.” Army Maj. Gen. Anthony Carrelli, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general, presented Edna Jenkins with the numerous medals and awards her brother earned but never received. The first medal presented was the Purple Heart, which she clutched in her clasped hands.

“No matter how long it takes, it’s amazing that in this country that we are still out there and we are still looking for every single service member that has fallen,” Carrelli said prior to the funeral service. “Today is to one celebrate his (Jenkins’) service and his sacrifice serving in that war. In World War II. But the other part is he’s finally coming home.

Today he comes home.”

A team of soldiers from the 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion, Jenkins’ battalion, came from Fort Bragg, North Carolina to serve as pallbearers. On

Bud’s behalf, they presented Edna Jenkins with an oar, which is a symbol of exceptional performance in the battalion, and a battalion blanket.

“Hopefully, this gives you a little bit of warmth and comfort,” battalion commander Lt. Col. Aaron Cox said.

As the soldiers carried the casket from the funeral home, U.S. Ar my Air Corps veteran Gene Gallagher, 91, stood at attention and gave a salute. Like Jenkins, Gallagher also served in World War II. “That’s why I’m here,” he said.

As the funeral procession moved along Morgan Highway toward Abington Hills Cemetery, small groups of onlookers, many holding American flags, lined short stretches of the roadway. Taps played at the grave site immediately after members of the Pennsylvania National Guard performed a threevolley salute.

Escorted by Green and L a c k aw a n n a C o u n t y Department of Veterans Af fairs Director Dave E i s e l e, E d n a Je n k i n s approached the casket, placed her hands upon it and bowed her head.

“It’s not only closure, but it’s gratification,” Jenkins’ great nephew C r a i g Ku j aw s k i s a i d .

“The principle is, they got him. That’s the point that needs to be stressed. They didn’t forget.”

Edna Jenkins, 83, of South Scranton, cries at the casket containing the remains of her brother U.S. Army Pfc. Willard “Bud” Jenkins, who was killed in action in 1944 during World War II. The service was held Wednesday, Sept. 26 at Abington Hills Cemetery in South Abington Township.

World War II Veteran Gene Gallagher, 91, of Clarks Summit, who served in the U.S. Army Air Corps, salutes the casket.

TERI LYON | SUBURBAN FAMILY

Grin and bear it A few evenings ago around dinner time, I happened to look out my dining room window to see a black bear at the foot of my driveway.

By the time I ran for my camera, he was gone, but the stopped traffic in front of my house told me he was making his way down my road.

Until then, I hadn’t actually seen a bear near my house in Glenburn Township since one appeared in front of my fourth-grade daughter while she waited for the bus to Waverly Elementary School nine years ago.

However, I have heard a number of neighborhood bear stories in recent years.

This summer alone, one of my neighbors told me that a bear took a stroll on her deck and others lamented that bears had crushed their bird feeders. And a friend in South Abington Township complained that a bear actually broke through a new, heavyduty lock on his trash can.

The bears are here.

We’re here.

So we might as well learn how to co-exist.

This is a good time to remind everyone that The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) has good advice for all of us who share living space with these animals.

The main thing the commission stresses is don’t feed the bears. In fact, the PGC website states, “Feeding bears is against the law. It is also against the law to put out any feed, for any wildlife, that is causing bears to congregate or habituate to an area.”

The PGC warns us that the black bears living in Northeast Pennsylvania will eat human food, garbage, bird feed, pet foods, fruits from trees or gardens and livestock feed. They also raid cornfields and beehives.

“Once bears find easily accessible food sources, whether on a farm or in a housing development, they will keep coming back as long as food is available.

With every returning trip they slowly lose their fear of people, which can lead to bolder attempts at accessing food, and as time spent near people increases, so does the risk of being struck by a vehicle or becoming a more serious nuisance.”

So, it’s a no-brainer that the best way of keeping the bears away from your home is to keep food away from them.

The PGC recommends putting trash out the morning it is collected and cleaning garbage cans regularly with hot water and chlorine bleach.

Clean your grills and dispose of grill grease properly (don’t dump it in your back yard). Bring all bird feeders and pet food pans in at night and keep your pets safely inside during the night, says the commission.

If you do encounter a bear on your property, you have two options, according to the PGC. “The first is to make loud noises or shout at the bear from a distance – like you’d react to a dog getting into your trash,” the commission says.

The second option? Leave the bear alone.

“Clean up the bear’s mess after it leaves. Follow up by making sure you eliminate whatever attracted the bear in the first place. You may need to talk to your neighbors, as well,” says the PGC. Further information is available at pgc.pa.gov.

Teri Lyon is a mom, grandmom and freelance writer who lives in Glenburn Township with her cat who doesn’t think she is afraid of bears.

WAVERLY: Author to give presentation FROM PAGE 1

how compelling and prevailing it really was at that time, and not put a glow on our history. Racism was being peddled far and wide back then ... It’s important to tell people who live in the Abingtons, you weren’t on the sidelines of history.”

On Oct. 14, Remsen will give a talk at the Waverly United Methodist Church.

“I learned just how involved in the anti-slavery movement that congregation was,” Remsen shared.

“The special thing about the church, is that it was my church, but it also has a great history. One of the black soldiers that I chronicle in the book, and the founding father of Waverly’s little black settlement at the top of the hill on Carbondale Road, was a fugitive who came through and stayed.

His name was George Keys.

Others got off the trail and stayed alongside this fellow as well. He became a Civil War soldier and one of his

sons joined him as a Civil War soldier. George Keys Sr. is buried right behind the Methodist Church.

“That cemetery was a short cut for me to the grade school at the bottom of the hill. There was this grave of George Keys. I never knew anything about it when I was a kid, but now it’s one of the men I have been most interested in as I researched.

And here he is buried there.

“The story is that George Keys was actually taken in by that church. A white congregation back in the 1840s took him in as a worshipping participant. When he married a bit later, the pastor of that church officiated his wedding, which was no small thing.”

Remsen said Waverly was also a complicated place in the 1800s. There were prominent Waverly residents like Andrew Bedford who introduced a resolution that only white men could vote. Early black residents faced opposition by some, and a helping hand from others.

George Keys was helped by an early abolitionist named Rodman Sisson, of LaPlume. Sisson later moved to Waverly and lived out his life there. After Remsen dove into his research he discovered that the house Sisson lived in was Remsen’s boyhood home.

The likelihood that fugitive slaves sought protection in the home he was raised in, impacted Remsen deeply.

“It was pretty powerful to learn and I wish my dad could have known that,” Remsen shared. “It’s not the reason I wrote the book, I only learned it along the way. It’s not my story, but theirs. Finding out those things is another reason why my appearance at the church and coming to Waverly is so exciting for me.”

More info Jim Remsen will give a talk Sunday, Oct. 14 at 3 p.m. at the Waverly United Methodist Church. His latest book, “Embattled Freedom,” will

be available for purchase, and refreshments will follow.
