Local artist creates collection for church CLARKS SUMMIT — A church in the Abingtons recently added art to its sanctuary. A long-time supporter of the arts, First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit secured artwork for the pillars that flank either side of the auditorium. A member of the church, David Porter, offered to create 10 pieces that would represent themes important to the congregation. Porter has worked in art and design ever since graduating from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture in 1977. He’s been an art director, designer and an artist for newspapers and magazines across the United States. He is a professor in the visual arts department at Keystone College. He recently produced a documentary. He and Donna, his wife of 43 years, live in Clarks Summit. They have a son, Jacob and daughter, Kaitlin. In 2018, the Music and Wor-
ship Committee of First Presbyterian Church was granted funds to decorate the pillars between the stained-glass windows of the sanctuary. Porter volunteered to donate original works of art. He was awarded the Chamberlain Chair for distinguished faculty service at Keystone College in May 2018. The school gave him a sabbatical, so he had the time to devote to finishing the pieces. “Everything kind of aligned at that time and I felt confident I could complete this project,” Porter said. Concepts for the project were solicited from the congregation of First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit. Porter used images to create collages. Each of the 10 pieces focuses on a theme that is important to the members of the church. Though the mixed media artwork is simplistic in theme, the pieces are also complex with layers of images, numerous scenes and various colors.
The images’ relations to and interactions with each other create a variety of concepts. Some pieces have a contrast of black and white art alongside colorful images. In the work titled “Women,” the black and white images show the struggle of women and things women have had to overcome. The piece also has colorful images of women as they rise to leadership and empowerment. Faith is a thread that appeared in many of Porter’s pieces. The work titled “Prayer” has the words to “The Lord’s Prayer” on it. At the top is a large ear which Porter said signifies the ear of God listening to the prayers of his children. “Creation” shows a collage of creatures from many species, scenes of nature and a beam of light signifying the beginning of time, reaching out from a center point. Porter explained he hoped this piece Please see Artist, Page 12

Destination staycation, part two Two weeks ago, I wrote about my favorite staycation destinations – day trips within a two-hour drive from Clarks Summit. I mentioned stops in Ithaca, New York (the Ithaca Farmers Market and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology); the sprawling Hickory Run State Park in Carbon County and Knoebels Amusement Resort near Elysburg. I asked readers to write in with their own recommendations, which resulted in several more trips to add to my staycation bucket list. ■ Readers, Joanne Stetz and Rich Winslow, both mentioned Jim Thorpe. I kicked myself – mentally – for not thinking of it myself. This charming town is “consistently ranked on national media ‘best’ lists and recognized among the most fun, most beautiful, most romantic and best adventure towns to visit,” according to the Jim Thorpe Tourism Agency’s website, jimthorpe.org. It’s a one-hour drive (56 miles) from Clarks Summit via the Pennsylvania Turnpike. “Nestled in the breathtaking Lehigh Gorge, this Victorian town is teeming with history, romance and family fun,” the website continues. “You’ll enjoy the walkable downtown’s accommodations, shops, restaurants, pubs, wine-tasting and live entertainment, as well as all the outdoor adventure you’d expect in the Pocono Mountains.” Winslow described Jim Thorpe as “a quaint town which offers nice restaurants, a nice train ride and an old jailhouse that once held the famous Molly Maguires.” He added it’s especially beautiful in the fall. Stetz said it’s “always a fun place to go. “A few years ago, our two Cocker Spaniels were up in years, so we decided to stay home from your usual shore vacation,” Stetz wrote. “It certainly was a nice week.” ■ Another of her destinations that week was the Delaware Water Gap, where she took the trolley tour of the area, followed by a nice lunch. Information about this tour can be found online Please see Staycation, Page 12

Leadership Lackawanna Fundraiser benefits now accepting project recreation programs applications SCRANTON — Area nonprofit organizations are invited to submit a Request For Proposal (RFP) to Leadership Lackawanna for implementation as a class community service project. The Leadership Lackawanna organization will select multiple projects for the incoming class to work on throughout the program year (October 2019 through Ju n e 2 0 2 0 ) . T h i s ye a r marks the 37th year of the Leadership Lackawanna organization. For nonprofit organizations and community groups, this invitation to submit an RFP presents an opportunity to use the services of a talented team of professionals. The group can help with a project an organization’s leadership has had in mind but lacked the human resources to accomplish. At the same time, the organization can expose a group of established and emerging leaders to its mission and goals. This is a mutually beneficial experience for t h e a g e n cy a n d t h e s e
emerging professionals. P a s t p r o j e c t s h av e included: renovations to the Pavilion at Nay Aug Park, the Electric City Trolley Museum Association’s “Bay 4,” the creation of a pre-teen/teenager ro o m at t h e N a n cy K . Holmes Public Library, the restoration of Hanlon’s Grove inside Nay Aug Park, the creation of a web game for the Lackawanna Historical Society and an online database of historic buildings for the City of Scranton. Projects must have a reasonable scope and budget and cannot include capital campaigns, rebranding/ branding/marketing campaigns or raising large sums of money. For more information or to download a proposal, visit leadershiplackawanna.com. Questions may be directed to Leadership Lackawanna Executive Director Nicole Morristell at nmorristell@scrantonchamber.com or 570-3427711. The deadline to submit is Friday, Aug. 23.

Open mic in Dalton a great opportunity to get those experiences and help build confidence in performing music or sharing your stories, poetry or jokes with family and friends.” Palaskas said he and Brent Tripp, fire company lieutenant, “kicked the idea around” back in May, then ran it by Justin Sturdevant, president. “We all agreed the project would benefit the community,” Palaskas said. “We officially presented the idea for the event at the fire company board meeting in June to get feedback from the rest of the board members. It was a unanimous decision and they agreed to sponsor the event providing the location and support.” Palaskas added he’s hosted and performed in open mics in the area off and on for the past 20 years. He plays a variety of instruments with a focus on percussion. For this event, he is serving as organizer and sound man. He
will also provide equipment and musical instruments at the event. McGrath’s Pub will donate food for the event. “There are so many talented people in our area,” said Palaskas. “The local schools have great music programs with a lot of talented students. ... Not to mention the huge amount of local bands and artists who have been performing in our area for years.” “We encourage all musicians, poets, comedians, storytellers and performers of all kinds to come take the stage, and we encourage the rest of you to come support these talented people as our audience, have some food and some fun,” Palaskas said. “If we get enough interest, we will continue this event every month.” For additional information or to volunteer for the event, call 570-280-0292 or visit the Facebook event page at bit.ly/2OG7dI2.

August adventures
Here we are at the beginning of August, and I can’t believe how quickly summer is passing. I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful season. Spending time with family, going on vacations and getting plenty of sunshine is my wish for all. We’ve been enjoying many summer activities at the Dalton Community Library with the children and their families. What fun we’ve had watching a magic show, doing yoga classes, being creative with art, providing safety programs and sharing time to build and learn together. The activities we’ve had have been both educational and fun. Although during August our Summer Quest will come to an end, there’s still time to enjoy the last few weeks for anyone interested.
During August, the libraries in Lackawanna County are accepting donations for the Ronald McDonald House in Scranton. With your donations, the Ronald McDonald House is a home away from home for families with seriously ill or injured children in area hospitals. Donated items needed are: ■ Paper plates ■ Paper cereal bowls ■ Freezer bags ■ Plastic silverware ■ Dish detergent ■ Pot scrubbers ■ Trash bags ■ Window cleaner ■ Febreeze disinfectant spray ■ Furniture polish ■ Mr. Clean Magic Eraser ■ Fabric softeners ■ OxiClean ■ Laundry detergent
■ Lint rollers ■ Stain remover Donations can be dropped off at any Lackawanna County Library System location. In preparation for the September Saturday Spotlight book club, we’d like to spread the word that the group has chosen the book, “Becoming,” by Michelle Obama for its monthly selection. We hope everyone takes time to read this book and joins the group at the end of next month on Sept. 28 at 10:30 a.m. The more, the merrier. Best wishes to all of the children in our area beginning a new school year this month. Take a deep breath, do the best you can, and remember to take time out to have fun.

THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN
SUPPORT: Growing gardens FROM PAGE 1
is an environmental activist and is the creator of The Food Waste Fiasco, a campaign that strives to end food waste and hunger in the U.S. Burke introduced the project to the members of the geography club at Abington Heights. The students loved the garden project and used the same idea for their own final club project. They made a brochure and presented it as a community outreach project at the Abington Heights Volunteers Fair. The club members chose two Abington Heights students who live in single-parent homes. They then built 8-by-4-foot raised beds for those families to grow their own gardens. “The kids did all of the work,” Burke explained. “They loaded the soil, planted the plants, put the cages over the tomatoes and wheelbarrowed all of the bags of
soil to the gardens. The kids were really into it.” The club also planted five deck boxes, designed specifically for apartment living, for a group of African migrants living in Scranton. The gardens include watermelons, tomatoes, broccoli, pumpkins and green bell peppers. Alicon Environmental in Dalton donated 24 bags of soil, Chinchilla Hardware and Garden Center donated garden boxes and the Kakareka family donated plants. “My plan is to build 100 gardens by the time I’m through,” explained Burke. “I’m thinking about building gardens for the local nursing homes. We can build the gardens higher, so people won’t have to bend over or get out of their wheelchairs. That’s the plan.” Donations for the gardens are accepted. Contact Burke at burkej@ahsd.org for more information.

Helping you to live your life An innovative program to help seniors live independently LIFE Geisinger is a unique and innovative program for older adults designed to give them the support they need to live independently. If you are an eligible older adult, the LIFE Geisinger Program can help you stay in your home while you take advantage of our comprehensive daily living and health services.
When taking care of our loved ones, we can’t forget our senior family members. This is especially true when temperatures are extremely cold or hot in winter or summer, like the recent heat wave where outdoor thermometers in the Abingtons registered 90 degrees plus for several days, but residents felt like temperatures were over 100. And summer isn’t over yet. Older people are especially sensitive to the heat. Many are living with medical conditions and take prescription medicines that affect the way their bodies handle the stress of extreme temperature. But even seniors who are in good health and have an active lifestyle can suffer the consequences of the heat, from general weakness and dizziness to dehydration and severe cases of heat stroke. Personally, I know of two people who ended up in the hospital this summer due to the heat. And I know there are more. Some of our senior parents, grandparents and other older family members can manage well on their own, but most need our help when it is blistering outside. If they are living with us, it is easier to look after them, but if they are still in their own home, we should make it a point to check in on them.
Hopefully there will be nothing to worry about. Even if they are well, it is better for them – and us – to have peace of mind. But if they need our help or medical care we can get it for them as soon as possible. When we’re looking in on our elderly loved ones, however, it is important to remember their pride. Chances are, they value their independence and don’t want to feel like they are being babied. Treat them with respect as you care for them. Preventative medicine is always the best medicine. As with you and your younger family members, your senior family members should stay inside and avoid strenuous activity during extreme heat. Here are some great tips for seniors to stay cool at home from dailycaring.com: ■ Drink plenty of cool water throughout the day (don’t wait until they feel thirsty) and avoid alcohol and caffeine. ■ Eat cooling snacks like homemade popsicles (use a cupcake liner to catch drips), frozen peas, or slightly frozen grapes. ■ Eat light, cold meals like chicken or pasta salad instead of heavy, hot dishes like pot roast. ■ Place a cool washcloth

For maximum cooling, keep the water just below body temperature. ■ Cover up with a flexible ice blanket – always use a towel to protect fragile senior skin from direct contact with the ice.

submiTTed PhoTo
A hedge under repair due to electrical work. At the surface, “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost seems to attack the neighborliness of wall-building. Yet the interplay of Frost’s opinion, his narrator’s opinion, and his neighbor’s opinion results in a poem that is shotthrough with ambiguity: Walls are both a good and a bad thing. Outside the manuscript in Frost’s own experience, however, the need for a legal protection of private property became real. For at least seven years, Frost was engaged in an international legal battle to determine the ownership rights of his earliest publications, including “Mending Wall.” So he never intended his intellectual property to be kept un-fenced. As a municipal arborist, I recognize that one of the benefits of plants is to provide beautiful separation. Even in tight, downtown locations, street trees visually and psychologically separate the public of the street from the private of the building. Hedges are a beautiful way to provide physical separation of one property from another.
But even after good hedges are cultivated, problems can develop. Here, in contrast to a wood fence or a brick wall, most hedges can heal. But it will take time and patient care. The most obvious problem with hedges is broken branches. These are usually a signal that the hedge is properly placed. In other words, it was by stopping some unwanted type of traffic that the hedge was damaged. Repairing broken branches is not difficult. First, cut away all of the broken or damaged wood using appropriate pruning techniques. Next, find some close undamaged branches or leaves and prune them. Yes, it is necessary to cut the plant to encourage more growth. The more cuts you make, the faster the hole can be filled. A different problem that develops is with the shape of the hedge. Suddenly it seems when you need to trim a certain part, there is a thick branch that is growing just a little bit too far out, and it is in the way. This is a problem with success: Your hedge
is growing well. Although the branch has always been there, just like the rest of the hedge, it gets a little thicker each year. To dial this hedge back, you are going to have to bite your lip and cut the troublesome stem out. Then treat the hole as if you removed a broken branch. Weeds may introduce themselves into the hedge. If the hedge is merely functional, weeds can be considered simply part of the fence. But weed shrubs, trees or vines that intermingle certainly disrupt the uniformity of a formal hedge. These “volunteers” should be cut or pulled at the base. If the hedge overgrows its space, it can likely be renovated, which essentially means starting over. But unlike a new hedge, an old hedge has an established root system that can support rapid regrowth.

Carpenter Ross Taylor crafted the frames. The pieces in The Pillar Art Collection each have a diamond grid pattern within the collage that mimics the windows in the church. Some images are inside the “window” and some are outside. Using the diamond grid pattern to reveal depth, Porter explained he made the pieces as elaborate as possible so they wouldn’t be one-dimensional. “I desire to produce deep and meaningful things – more complex works of art that can have many meanings,” he said. Porter’s work is intended to provoke thought as it engages the viewer. The mindfulness Porter took is evident, from themes that reflect what is important to church members, as well as the design and presentation that compliments the interior of the building. His work can be seen whenever First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit is open or at upcoming church events such as the Arts Concert Series, beginning Oct. 20. Visit fpccs.org for more

at watergaptrolley.com. There is also plenty to do at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. “Once touted as a scenic wonder of the world, the Delaware Water Gap is a mile-long stretch of the Middle Delaware River that slices through two mountains,” according to npca.org. “The park includes the river and 67,000 pristine forested acres where visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, fishing and water sports in one of the cleanest rivers in the country.” The Delaware Water Gap is a 55-minute (54mile) drive from Clarks Summit via interstates 380 and 80. ■ Stetz also mentioned the Allentown Art Museum, which she described as a “hidden treasure” with plenty of interesting places to enjoy lunch JULIE JEFFERY MANWARREN / FOR ABINGTON SUBURBAN or dinner nearby. The museum offers David Porter’s ‘Music’, a piece from The Pillar Art Collection, hangs near the piano “tremendous variety and organ at First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit.
and quality” in its collections and exhibitions, programs and events, according to allentownartmuseum.org. A one-hour and 27-minute (85-mile) drive from Clarks Summit by way of the turnpike, it serves more than 100,000 visitors annually, and its collection of more than 19,000 works of art offers the opportunity to experience nearly 2,000 years of cultural heritage. For more information, visit the website. ■ Winslow recommended several stops in the Hudson Valley. About 120 miles from Clarks Summit, the drive there exceeds my two-hour limit by about 15 minutes, but it's still worth mentioning. Winslow's recommendations in the Hudson Valley include: Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site (for information, visit nps. gov/hofr.), Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic
Site (see nps.gov/elro), Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site (nps.gov/vama) and the Walkway over the Hudson State Historic Park in Poughkeepsie, New York (visit parks.ny.gov/ parks/178 and walkway. org.) ■ Winslow also recommended visiting the United States Military Academy West Point, a "very scenic and historical place to visit." "Even if you aren’t a football fan, the pageantry of a fall football game at West Point is fantastic," Winslow wrote. "What a view from the stadium! The parade of the Corps of Cadets before a game is outstanding. The spirit of the Cadets at the game is also something to observe." For information, visit bit.ly/2KeBiK.
