A fest with a feast
Annual church party celebrates unified parish BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR
Another sure sign of summer in the MidValley is set to take place this weekend. Blessed Sacrament Parish will hold its 14th annual family festival Friday through Sunday, Aug. 16-18, on the church grounds at 215 Rebecca St. in Throop. There will be games for children, traditional picnic and ethnic foods will be offered beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, a pig-inthe-blanket dinner beginning at noon on Saturday (eat in or take out), breakfast on Sunday (after the 9:30 a.m. Mass) and bingo afterward with doors opening at 12:30 p.m. Admission to the bingo is $5. For tickets or information call 570-489-1963. A Wiffle Ball game to kick off the festivities was held last Saturday, which, for those of you keeping score, ended in an 18-18 tie. Each player received a free specially designed “Keep the Faith” T-shirt, courtesy of the parish’s Holy Name society. The menu includes potato pancakes, haluski, pizza frita, french fries, chicken fingers, pierogies (both fried and butter and onions), funnel cake fries, sausage and peppers, hamburgers, hot dogs, wimpies, porketta, pizza, corn-on-the-cob and old-fashioned Neopolitan ice cream sandwiches. A bake sale with a wide variety of homemade items will also be available on Friday and Saturday. There will also be plenty of of gift baskets that will be awarded Sunday afternoon. There is a 50/50 grand prize drawing that will take place on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. The prize is expected to be more

than $1,000. There will be music from Ned the DJ. “The family festival was started in 2006 as a way to get the then three Roman Catholic Churches in the town to work together, explained spokesman Joseph Butash. “Blessed Sacrament Parish was established in December of 2009, when the three Roman Catholic Churches -— St. John the Baptist, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Bridget — in town were consolidated.” There is renewed interest in the parish’s history, because St. Mary’s on Dunmore Street, the first Catholic church in Throop, which closed in 1997, will celebrate its 125th birthday — it was incorporated in 1895.

A Dutch Village wooden shoe. BY JOSHUA ARP For the Valley adVantage
Michigan State University has a list of products made from Michigan’s forest. The list includes railroad ties and musical instruments, but also surprises such as fast-food bags, cupcake wrappers and IKEA particle board. It does not include wooden shoes. But De Klomp Wooden Shoe and Delft Store in Holland, Michigan uses local poplar wood to produce about 1,000 pairs of wood shoes each year. I recently had the opportunity to visit a neighboring Holland business, Nelis’ Dutch Village, which hosts a wood-shoe making demonstration. (Wood shoes are available for purchase at Nelis’ Dutch Village, but they are imported from the old country). The demonstration showed how wood shoes were initially carved by hand from blocks of poplar or willow with high moisture content. Although machine production nearly eliminated the shoecarving trade, the shoes themselves were popular at least through the middle of the 20th century, and are still the footwear choice for some Dutch farmers and fisherman. So poplars are good for making shoes, but are they good for your landscape? Michael Dirr calls the poplar a “pest,” a “nuisance,” and a “liability” in his 1983 “Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.” Now it’s one thing to denigrate a plant, but it is another thing to denigrate the one who plants it. And this is what Dirr does, writing, “If anyone plants poplars, they deserve the disasters which automatically ensue.”
Christina D. Wood writes that Albany, New York had already not only banned the Lombardy poplar by 1871, it also required removal of existing specimens. What is the problem with this tree that is still for sale in the nursery catalogues? A clue might be found in the scientific family name. You can see the genus Salix in the family name Salicacaea. Both forms are Latin terms for willow. So willows and poplars are close relatives. So are aspens and cottonwood, whose inferior wood was used for the railroad ties used in prairie locations in the construction of the first transcontinental railroad. But the tulip poplar is in the magnolia family and is not a relative of a true poplar. While the family is important in the early stages of succession, and can be used for basket-weaving, honey production, and herbal medicine, I cannot think of a single good and sustainable landscape application for poplars or willows. We had once had a headstrong customer who was not content to do battle with a disastrous poplar hedge whose surface roots and sucker sprouts were taking over the lawn. So planted a corkscrew willow only ten feet from his house. The 20’ monster had to be removed after just three years, and the bill to remove and replace the poplar hedge could have bought a small car. So where should you plant a poplar? You shouldn’t. Cut it down and make some shoes.

Long before modern banking practices – checks, direct deposit, electronic transfer, etc. — became available, coal companies paid their workers in cash that often was disbursed from a “pay car” that moved from colliery to colliery by rail. My dad worked in the power plant at Coal Brook Colliery of the Hudson Coal Co. which was located just off Peck Avenue on Carbondale’s West Side. It was part of a network that supplied DC electric power for the company’s mining operations in the Lackawanna valley. I was just a little boy when he took me to Coal Brook on pay day. I still remember a crowd of mineworkers milling around the pay car waiting for their “due bill number” to be called. When his turn came, the worker would climb the steps to the rear platform of the car where his supervisor and the company paymaster were waiting at an open window. The supervisor would identify the worker by touching the pen in the paymaster’s hand – equivalent to a signature. The paymaster would then hand the worker a 3-by-5-inch brown craft envelope containing his pay – all in cash and right down to the penny. Hudson Coal paid its workers every two weeks. At least in my father’s case, they received a “due bill” listing their gross pay minus deductions the day before the pay car arrived. One of the deductions the company paid particular attention to was the one for household heating coal purchased by the employee. It was understood that if you worked for Hudson that was where you bought your coal; if you didn’t purchase as much one year as you did the previous one, you were apt to get summoned to the office for an explanation. I understand that some miners also had deductions for blasting powder. etc., but my dad didn’t have any of that. Withholding for federal income taxes didn’t start until early 1940s, when the federal government was raising money for the expenses of World War II and the first Social Security deductions didn’t come until January 1937. When Social Security pay deductions began, my mother started keeping a

A pay car. record but soon gave up the task. The little brown book was among the items I inherited when she and dad passed away. On Jan. 26, 1937, my dad’s total wages for two weeks were $67.69. After 68-cents for Social Security, $7.65 for a ton of coal and $2 for United Mine Workers dues his little brown envelope contained $57.46. The company owned five or six pay cars, all converted from D&H wooden passenger coaches. On payday the one that was in use generally was pulled by a camelback-type steam locomotive. I don’t know for sure, but I believe the envelopes were filled in the pay car by five or more Hudson Coal clerks riding in the car. Company police provided protection for the money. Once the Coal Brook workers were paid, the one-car train moved down the D&H mainline to Powderly then Jermyn, Gravity Slope in Archbald, Olyphant and Marvine in North Scranton. I don’t know how long the pay cars continued to operate, but it had to be at least as late in 1933 because, in October of that year, one was involved in a nasty wreck on the D&H mainline near the Mulberry Street Bridge in Scranton. The little locomotive and pay car no. 652 flipped onto their sides. The fireman, in the rear cab of the engine, was pinned in the wreckage and died at the scene. Hudson Coal people in the pay car were tossed about and the cash they were working with was scattered in the wind. The injured were taken to the nearby State Hospital and Scranton police and D&H “bulls” secured thousands of dollars in the pay car as hundreds of onlookers converged onto the scene.

At some point in time, Hudson Coal did away with the pay cars and the envelopes containing cash were distributed from the colliery offices. Then, checks replaced cash. As the years went by the Coal Brook breaker was torn down then the mines closed and finally the fires in the big steam boilers that my dad had spent 30 years tending were extinguished. Hudson Coal never got to direct deposit
where the pay was sent directly to the employee’s bank account. I don’t think my parents would have liked that. There was nothing like counting the currency from the brown craft envelope.

Your discs are made up of active, living cells that keep your spine stable and flexible. Despite their amazing resilience, they’re not immortal. Discs don’t have their own blood supply so they can’t fend for themselves. They depend on your joint motion for their supply of oxygen and nutrients. Abnormal joint movement interferes with the transport of nutrition to your discs, eventually leading to cell death. That’s why it’s so important we make sure your spine is properly aligned. Once your disc breaks down, it can’t regenerate. Our goal is to prevent it from getting worse and progressing to spinal degeneration. Nothing restores normal motion like Chiropractic adjustments can when your spinal joints are fixated or stuck. Instead of masking symptoms, Chiropractic addresses the underlying cause We simply promote your bodyss ability to heal it self naturally. You only get one spine. Let me help you take good care of it.

Can’t beet it
Vegetable, cheese dish a winner for UNC of NEPA
E
BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer
at local and support people in more ways than one. At United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s annual Farm to Fork Dinner, guests can taste fresh produce and more from local farmers while helping those who need it most. The fifth annual dinner — set for Saturday, Aug. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Stone Meadow Gardens, 1273 Country Club Road, Clarks Summit — benefits UNC’s Community Health Department, which serves lowincome, uninsured and under-insured people and families and helps them access health care services. State Street Grill, 114 S. State St., Clarks Summit, will cater the event using only local food, and Local Flavor is all about spreading community love — the food is just a bonus. UNC’s Community Health Department earned a $50 gift card from Riccardo’s Market, 1219 Wheeler Ave., Dunmore, through Local Flavor Gives Back thanks to State Street Grill Executive Chef Sara McCully’s Roasted Red Beet and Goat Cheese Terrine. Made with all local ingredients — including cheese from Calkins Creamery, Honesdale, and Clarks Summit’s Thirteen Olives balsamic and olive oil — the dish is simple to put together, McCully said. The most timeconsuming part is roasting the beets, which can take up to two to three hours. “ Yo u n e e d t o h av e patience,” McCully said.

The dish truly was as lovely looking as it was delicious. With its colorful array of vegetables, the fresh produce burst with flavor.
