Tree ST reeT Nam eS, ParT 2
In the previous article, I discussed the appropriateness of matching street trees with the names of the streets. I picked the streets closest to where I live: Walnut, Poplar, Ash and Linden. In this article, I will pan out a few blocks — or miles — and discuss some other tree street names. Hemlock. Let’s make this quick. Evergreens — of which hemlocks are one of the most refined looking — should not be planted along streets. This recommendation is due to the pyramidal shape, so pin oaks should be avoided as well. Hemlock, the Pennsylvania state tree, is best used in forests, where it has room to grow, and this means it is not best used in your landscape to anchor your foundation plantings. Alas, hemlock, like ash, has recently come under attack from a predator, and is doomed if left untreated. However, the wooly adelgid can be defeated through regular non-chemical spraying. Maple. I cannot imagine a neighborhood apart from silver maples. But this is the direction urban forestry is headed. The biggest problem with these fast-growing giants is that they do not compartmentalize decay well. So, once they are mature, all pruning should be extremely conservative. Unfortunately, as we are finding out, utility pruning, such as is often necessary for street trees, is typically as gentle as a drill sergeant. So the trees become hollow and dangerous. Let’s care for the silver maples on our streets and plant more in our parks. And, let’s plant more durable maples on our streets. Cherry. If you find a cherry tree already planted, or if someone else plants a cherry tree, fine. Enjoy it. But you should never plant a cherry tree yourself. The wood is beautiful as lumber, and it is fun to split, and the fruit is excellent, and the flowers can hardly be topped. But the risk of disease or insect attack is too great to mess with this tree yourself. And, even if you are able to avoid cherry’s predators, you will find yourself pruning this tree continually, especially if it is a weeping version. Because of this, and the fruit and

bloom mess notwithstanding, cherry is not a good street tree. By the way, if your neighbors plant a cute umbrellashaped cherry tree, tell them it is possible to prune it well, without resorting to hedge shears or endless interior dead wood. Locust. From what I have seen, locust is the best street tree. As a shade tree commission, we always order plenty of locusts, because we somewhat honestly tell homeowners that they will not have to rake the leaves. Even though the leaflets are tiny, some varieties of locust will provide dense shade to cool the street in summer. The branch structure is open, giving plenty of options for directional pruning, and the tough wood resists decay. Reach me at josarhuap@aol.com.

Zack Rundell, a freshman at Abington Heights High School, won the first place varsity title in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League mountain bike race series held recently. A member of the Keystone Composite Mountain Bike team, Zack had two first-place and two third-place finishes to accumulate the most points in the race series. Varsity riders were required to race a distance of 22 miles over rugged terrain on wooded trails which included rock beds, log-overs, roots, long hilly sections and creek crossings. On the podium with him is Aiden Brechbill (left) and Gavin Strauss (right).
aBiNGTON SuBurBaN WriTer Lackawanna Trail head football coach Steve Jervis recently reflected on his successful season, and recalled some of his team’s best moments. “As we look at our season in review, there were a few highlights that really stuck out,” Jervis said. “We played a fantastic first half defensively vs. Dunmore. That was the first time where we had Owen Hivner for us and he definitely made a difference.” The special teams were next on the honor list. ”Special teams-wise, our best performance was against Northwest in week four,” Jervis said. “Noah Coleman returned the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown, we blocked two field goal attempts and recovered a squib kick to begin the second half.” Jervis also had praise for the offense. “Offensively, we had a solid second half against Lakeland. We really began to execute our offense the way that I knew we could,” Jervis said. “Sophomore Jeffrey Resto ended up with 220 yards and four touchdowns on the night. “We also had a solid second half offensively against Carbondale, where we were really able to control the clock,” Jervis continued. “It was a tight game against a very good Carbondale team. We came out after halftime and held the ball almost the entire third quarter.” “We converted two fourth downs, including one on a fake punt on the drive that culminated with Resto scoring a 4-yard touchdown.” It added up to a number Jervis really liked. “Probably, our best overall stat for our team this season was first downs, finishing with around 180,” Jervis said. “That means that our offensive line and backs were able to control the line of scrimmage for the most part. With solid running backs, we had very few negative plays all season.” Led by Resto, Jervis has a group of candidates for best player, and a group means variety, versatility and, perhaps, victories. “There were some key newcomers that really had an impact on the success of our season,” Jervis said. “Resto showed that he

can be a dominant type of running back in our wing-T offense.” The coach said he has also received solid play from sophomore Richard Rodenbach and freshman Ray Melnikoff after playing key positions on the offense. “Rodenbach started every game at center and did a remarkable job,” Jervis said. “He continued to get better as the season went on, and we expect big things from Richard in the future.” “Melnikoff ran the ball physically from the fullback position when called upon and started the entire second half of the season at outside linebacker, making several key stops.” Senior Dillon Moyle, who played left guard and defensive end, brings a smile to Jervis’ face with how he played the game. “Some may look at him and think that he may be slightly undersized to be an effective lineman at the varsity level. Boy, would they be wrong,” Jervis said. “I loved to run our left side behind Dillon, Shawn Jones (left tackle) and Zac Cost (tight end). Dillon plays with great pad level and a tough mentality. As a wing-T guard, he is often leading our sweeps, traps and counter plays. On defense, his quickness makes him extremely difficult to block. One look at his scarred and chipped helmet lets you know exactly what kind of football player he is.”

The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA), Pennsylvania American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation have teamed up to increase access to the Griffin Reservoir in South Abington Township. Since August, USA volunteers from Pennsylvania American Water, UWUA Local 537 and the Scranton building and construction trades have volunteered more than 150 hours to clear trees and brush at the worksite and begin construction of the pier. “In 2011, we opened a number of reservoirs to the public for fishing in Northeast Pennsylvania,” said Jeffrey McIntyre, president of Pennsylvania American Water, “but none with the infrastructure in place to accommodate the needs of our entire community. We are very fortunate in this area with so many natural resources, and we are happy to be able to share them with everyone in our community.”
The project will require approximately 400 volunteer hours, with a labor value of nearly $15,000. To complete the pier, volunteers will install the remaining floor joists, decking and a railing before opening it to public use. A completion date has not yet been set.
