Annual picnic kicks off Volunteers make fest possible BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR
On those cold and miserable days in February, we dreamed of weekends like this one: warm, clear evenings full of music, food and friends. One highlight of the weekend will be one of the premiere summer events in the midvalley. Christ the King Parish in Archbald will hold its annual picnic Friday through Sunday, July 26-28, on the grounds of St. Mary’s Church, Betty and Main streets in Eynon. The picnic will open at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 4 p.m. on Sunday. Music will be provided by AM Radio on Friday beginning at 6 p.m.; by the Tommy Guns Band on Saturday beginning at 6 p.m.; and by Flaxy Morgan on Sunday beginning at 5:30 p.m. This will be the 29th year for the party, which will feature ethnic foods and typical picnic fare, along with a pastry tent, a beer and wine tent and lots of activities. The picnic is a fundraiser for the church, and 100 percent of the profits help support the Christ the King Parish and its operational expenses. “The most important part of our picnic is the homemade ethnic food,” said Chris Tomaszewski, one of the picnic organizers. “So we have a variety of foods available, such as pierogies, pigs in the blanket, porketta, potato pancakes, pizza fritta, funnel cakes and homemade baked goods.” There will be plenty to do, Tomaszewski

added. “There are basket raffles with chances to win handmade quilts, a patio set and cash,” he said. “There are also children’s games and raffles. Bingo will be held every night and there will also be a flea market.” Tomaszewski has volunteered at the fair for nine years. “My favorite part of the picnic is working with the committee and with all of the volunteers,” he said. “I’ve always been amazed on how many people come out to volunteer parishioners.” This year, the committee set up a volunteer signup website to better organize who comes and does what when. “In the past we have had to turn volunteers away that would show up, and we hate to turn people away.” Tomaszewski notes that there are still volunteer opportunities available. “We need wait staff for the food and funnel cake stands, dishwashers and picnic setup is all week.” Volunteers can go to volunteersignup. org/CTTQX to sign up. “Every little bit of help adds up to a big help,” he added. Tomaszewski said that, every year, some unexpected complication crops up, but it’s nothing they can’t handle. “There are always small issues that come during the planning, but since we have such a great group of people helping out that have been doing it for years, the picnic runs very smoothly,” he explained. Tomaszewski has a long list of people to thank. “I want to thank all of those who help in the kitchen,” he said. “They start making pierogies in March and April and without

We get so many donations, either monetary, baskets or other items that help out so much.” Asked which of the food offerings are his favorites, he couldn’t quite decide. “Everything is so good,” he enthused. “But I always love to get the pierogies and
the steak subs and, of course, the potato pancakes.” But most of all, Tomaszewski enjoys getting together with friends and neighbors. “I love how the picnic brings so many people together to enjoy themselves,” he said. “I feel that we offer an affordable time out and we are able to raise money for our parish and also support the local community.”

Travel like a municipal arborist BY JOSHUA ARP For The Triboro banner
If you are like me, you are planning to try to squeeze one more jaunt to the beach, the mountains, or the downtown this summer. If you travel like an arborist, you’ll be looking for some trees or diseases that aren’t common at home, and you might also be looking for some tree-care practices that aren’t common at home. If I could get my readers to start traveling like an arborist, that would be good. But if I could get my readers to start traveling like a municipal arborist, that would be great. How does a municipal arborist travel? Yes, like any arborist, a municipal arborist sees and thinks about trees. But a municipal arborist also thinks about how people mix and how and people and trees mix. Recently I read about the work of Harvard social scientist Raj Chetty. Chetty and others have demonstrated that certain U. S. geographical locales have predictable outcomes for the economic advancement of children who grow up there. As far as I can tell, Chetty’s insights have nothing directly to do with natural geographic features. Instead, they have to do with the way people mix in those locations. But this is no surprise to a municipal arborist. From a “people-mix”—or municipal—perspective, municipal arborists (and to a large degree everyone else) already know the implications of the term “leafy suburbs.” In other words, some locations have better qualities of life than others, and community trees are central to those better places. So if I had my wish, whether they go around their town or around the world, I want my readers to see this. I want my readers to see that community leaves don’t only build quality suburbs, they build quality communities. So on a vacation trip to the beach, mountains, or city, readers with a municipal eye will see some of the same things. From a small, north-country town like Glen Arbor, Michigan (population 855) to a larger Florida beach city like Naples (population 21,948), even though the street trees change from red mulberries to royal palms, in both cases, the trees announce a
SubmiTTed phoTo

Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers in Charlevoix, Michigan plant five miles of bright flowering petunias (more than 1,200 flats) along the sidewalks of its main thoroughfare. So the people-mixing ingredients surpass trees and include public landscaping and hardscaping. Yes, it takes a sidewalk to mark a “tree lawn,” and to invite people outdoors to mix socially and commercially. Subtract the grass, the trees, or the sidewalks, and you have a completely different feel. As I look around, the best old and new neighborhoods have all three ingredients. A municipal arborist knows the best people-mixing ingredients don’t just happen. It takes community vision, funding, implementation, maintenance and enforcement to bring the park-like feel to our residential and commercial neighborhoods. And I’d like my traveling readers to catch that vision. Joshua arp is an iSa-certified municipal specialist, Clarks Summit’s municipal arborist and an operator of an organic lawn and landscape maintenance business. reach him at josarhuap@aol.com.

I’ve been in practice for about 20 yrs in Dickson City. Of course, some patients choose me because they’ve read this column or even because I’m the closest Chiropractor to where they live. But, most of my patients give me a try because they’ve heard about me from a family member, a friend or a co-worker. Don’t let someone talk you out of trying Chiropractic treatment who has never even been to a Chiropractor. Sometimes people talk without knowing all the facts. Do you know that Consumers Reports compiled a survey of over 10,000 of their subscribers asking who helped them the most with back pain? Guess who helped the most-it was their Chiropractor!! That’s not a surprise to me or to my patients. Don’t try every other treatment first. Don’t be like many of my new patients who tell me after two weeks of treatment, “I wish I had tried this first”.
