Singing through Italy Valley View choir made 11- day trip BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR

Everywhere they went, music happened. For 11 days at the end of the last school year, the Valley View High School’s Voices of the Valley choir traveled to Italy to perform. The trip began with “A Gift of Song for Gubbio.” Gubbio is the Italian town where the St. Ubaldo festival began and is the sister city of Jessup. Although the choir missed this year’s festival in Gubbio, there was still a large audience for the choir’s concert in the town’s Basilica di Sant’ Ubaldo. “The Valley View High School Performing Arts Booster Club, made up of parents and choir members, held various fundraisers throughout the year to help defray the cost of the students’ trip,” explained Gina Pascolini, director of Voices of the Valley. “They had tremendous support from families and the Valley View community and beyond.” From Gubbio, the choir traveled to Assisi, where they were the performing choir for a mass in the lower Basilica of Saint Francis; Florence, where they performed at the Church of San Carlo; Orvieto, where they were given permission to sing in the Duomo and Rome, performing at St. Paul’s Within the Walls. They presented informal, short performances in Gubbio, Florence, Pompeii, Isle of Capri, Naples and Rome (visiting notable sites like the Colosseum and the Vatican.They visited and paid their respects to

Thank You For Your Referrals I’ve been in practice for about 20 years 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.”

At the turn of the last century the residents of Carbondale’s west side thought a cyclone had swept through their neighborhood. Today, meteorologists would have called the storm a tornado. No matter what it is called the milelong black funnel shaped cloud that struck on the evening of Aug. 30, 1905, was something to behold. According to news reports of the day, nearly every home on 42nd Street was either moved off its foundation or demolished. One woman was said to have been swept off her feet and carried 65 feet before being de posited shaken and bruised in a neighbor’s yard. Livestock in the area were also swept up by the winds and deposited in the most unlikely places. On Thorn Street, a barn was lifted from its foundation and smashed to smithereens. A horse that was inside was lifted into the air and ended up in a nearby cornfield. Another horse, this one tied outside a barn on Canaan Street, was deposited unharmed on the front porch of its owner’s home.

Taking Pride In Getting Your Local Athletes Back In The Game

My grandparents’ home at 70 Green St. was right on the edge of the storm’s path. It escaped injury but my grandfather, Ed Pethick, was one of those who went to the aid of their neighbors. I remember my grandmother telling about the harrowing experiences. The late Jack Hiddlestone, local historian and postcard collector, told about the events of that evening in the December 1993 issue of the Lackawanna Historical Society Journal. It was big news in Carbondale but apparently didn’t make the front pages of the Scranton papers. It merited only Page 3 of the Republican, one of the predecessors of today’s Times-Tribune. It was about 8:45 p.m. on a Wednesday night when the twister swept in from the northwest, cut a swath 200 feet in width along 42nd Street, continued across Dundaff Street and the D&H Railroad yards, finally dying out over the Belmont and Canaan Street areas. Thirty homes were reportedly affected —some moved from their foundations, others reduced to piles of rubble. Two of the homes involved were those of the Patrick Cuff and William Pope families. The Cuff home was badly damaged but the Pope structure was moved 25 feet before being turned into a pile of kindling. Mr. and Mrs. Pope were not injured, but their three children who had already turned in for the night were trapped in their bed. That’s where my grandfather came on the scene. According to a story I have heard many times, he and Pat Cuff picked through the rubble and rescued the Pope children

Rogers from the debris. They suffered only minor bruises. One of them, Billy, later operated a saloon for many years in the Casino Hall building on Seventh Avenue. The same building housed The Scranton Times Carbondale office where I worked for a short period of time. I remember enjoying the delicious hamburgers Billy did in a black cast iron frying pan. They made a great lunch. --Ed E Rogers is a Carbondale native who spent more than 70 years as a reporter and editor for regional newspapers.

United Neighborhood Community Development Corporation (UNCDC), the nonprofit housing and economic development subsidiary of United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC), broke ground on a new housing community at 185 Fallbrook St. in Carbondale earlier this month. The project, which will make use of the former Carbondale General Hospital building and grounds, will provide 36 apartments and townhomes with 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units available as well as indoor and outdoor community space for social and intergenerational programming. “The nature and scope of this project is monumental when it comes to solidifying the West Side of Carbondale,” said Carbondale Mayor Justin Taylor,. “The West Side has always been a solid residential

community with strong values and a commitment to individual properties, so to take an under-utilized property and convert it to affordable housing is the icing on the cake for this side of town.” The 10.2-acre property will include a "walkway to wellness" with an outdoor walking path and community garden. UNC will relocate its existing Carbondale Active Older Adult Community Center to a large community room in the former hospital and create a SMART Wing (Support, Movement, Arts, Recreation and Technology) which will provide multipurpose community areas. Six apartments equipped for the elderly will be located in the former hospital. All other homes will be new construction with several units equipped for people with disabilities

Stuffed with flavor Mushroom dish a go-to for summer parties

By Gia Mazur Staff Writer

A

s Labor Day weekend approaches, some are making plans to attend parties and backyard barbecues while others are planning menu items sure to cater to every guest. If you’re looking for a dish to bring or to serve, Local Flavor has you covered with Ann Sheroda’s Stuffed Mushrooms. The Scranton resident loves to entertain and has cultivated her own repertoire of appetizers and dips for years. This recipe — which earned her a $50 gift card from Riccardo’s Market, 1219 Wheeler Ave., Dunmore — is a go-to for Sheroda when she attends a party or hosts one. The mushrooms are filled with a stuffing made of sausage, onion, tomato, spices and cheese. Sheroda advised those following the recipe not to overcook the sausage, as it will cook again when baked inside the mushrooms. The stuf fing is what makes the dish versatile, she said.

Coming next week: Meet the next local cook and their winning recipe.

used to since her daughters, Lindsay and Leslie, are grown, Sheroda still has plenty of recipes up her sleeve. Friends and family know her for her dessert trifle salad bowl and strawberry cake as well as her homemade “Sunday dinner”-type dishes, such as meatloaf, chicken or eggplant parmigiana and all different kinds of chili. “ I a m l i ke t h e ch i l i queen,” she said, laughing. Her daughters like their m o m ’s ch i cke n s t r i p s, homemade french fries and salads topped with the dozens of dressings Sheroda creates from scratch. “I never, ever buy anything in a bottle,” she said. “I’ll just make all that stuff myself.” S h e r o d a s t ay s b u s y through her work as an associate broker with Realty Network Group, but one of her favorite places to be is in the kitchen. “It’s something I’ll do when I have the time to really do it how I want it,” she said. “I enjoy that time I get cooking.”

“These are easy, and you can use the stuffing pretty much any way you want,” she said. “I’ve made it and stuffed poblano peppers with it, and that’s really good. It just depends on what you like.” The stuffed mushrooms were a perfect light appetizer for a summer party. The stuffing was flavorful and rich while the mushroom gave the ideal amount of texture to feel full but not overstuffed.

It’s the time of year when our family loves to gather and see how prolate spheroids travel through the air, endover-end. Yes, our children are still talking about last December’s “Double Doink,” but I am not speaking about the NFL kicking game. Instead, we grab jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) seed pods, and carefully touch them so that we can watch the seed eject. Now the NFL football did evolve to its prolate spheroid shape: It began life as a soccer ball and moved toward a rugby ball shape, in other words from a coconut to a watermelon. But even though the game was proARP moted as a means to toughen America’s youth in a time of extended peace, 15 deaths in one year was considered too violent. So the forward pass was promoted, and the ball became the shape of a jewelweed seed, not for end-over-end rotation, but for the spirals that an overhand toss produces. So why did the jewelweed move from a game of fumbled seeds to an aerial attack? As with humans, the answer seems to lie in genetics. It is best for jewelweed to breed outside of its immediate family. In other words, if the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” the resultant “inbreeding” is not in the plant’s best interest. In other words, natural selection means that the jewelweed plants that are best suited for survival are those that stray a bit from the “apron strings.” Now, there is another evolutionary wrinkle. Natural selection also “figured

out” that if the plant could toss its seed into a stream—jewelweed is a streamside plant—and if the seed could float. ... Well, it would be like joining the Navy and finding access to a much larger gene pool than just the next town over. So a study published by Marika Hayashi and others, presents the following findings about jewelweed. First, if it is well-watered, jewelweed’s ejection mechanism exceeds the energy storage capacity of both spring steel and elastin. Second, to eject its seeds, jewelweed it takes a common plant stem structure and inverts it. Third, jewelweed launches its seeds exactly how physics would predict. Nevertheless, its energy transfer is low. The implications of Hayashi’s study are that the energy transfer would be better if jewelweed’s seeds were BBs. But BBs don’t float. So because jewelweed’s natural selection “chose” both Air Force and Navy, it sacrificed some flight ability for sailing ability. Of course, footballs both fly and float. But while the NFL’s prolate spheroid has evolved toward the throwing game’s spiral flight, I wonder why the jewelweed still “prefers” end-over-end flight. As for me, I am glad that the watermelon—or for that matter coconuts—have not realized that ballistic dehiscence could be an efficient way of spreading their seed away from their parent plants.
