SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. A legal petition from Comcast Cable regarding the companys franchise fee could potentially cost South Abington Township $72,000 annually, and the townships board of supervisors took initial steps to deal with the issue at their June 11 meeting. The planning of a major project also came closer to completion at the meeting, with PennDOT construction of a pumping station by Shady Lane Road set to begin in 2014. The drafting of a property maintenance code and discussion of burn permits and the potential banning of burning in the township were discussed as well. Township Manager David ONeill announced Comcast had issued a legal petition concerning a contract done between Comcast and the municipalities of the Abington Council of Governments. The deal gave the township a yearly cable television franchise fee, a rental charge Comcast paid to the community in exSee Comcast, Page 9

RANSOM TWP. - Concern among Ransom Township residents is growing, along with the piles of trees, logs and other debris collecting in local creeks. Heavy rains and flooding over the past six years caused several problems in the area, including an exposed high-pressure gas main in a creek near Dark Region Road, a sliding bank on Ledge Drive, and a significant loss of depth in many parts of the creeks. Residents and township officials fear these issues may create dangers. Bud Stann, of Dark Region Road, said when the waters of the creek running through his property are high, trees speed down it. But its not just trees that come ripping through the water, he said. Its rocks, firewood and whatever gets in the way of the creek. He said during extreme conditions, hes even heard the sound of boulders clunking together on the creek bed. Stanns neighbor, Brad Steckel, said he also knows what can happen when the creek fills up. Stuff comes down there that normally wouldnt even move, he said. This is why he and Stann are concerned about a high-pressure gas pipeline protruding out of the creek on Stanns property. Both said they dislike the thought of what could happen if a large log were to get caught underneath it and act as a lever, or if a heavy object were to slam into it at high speed. According to Stann, the pipeline, which is owned by UGI Utilities and runs across a large portion of his property before heading toward Pittston, was unearthed by flooding in 2006. He said when he first noticed it, he contacted UGI regarding the problem, and representatives from the company came twice to investigate, promising to return in two weeks. Now, about six years later, the pipeline remains exposed for a length of at least 15 feet, with logs and other debris collecting around it.

CLARKS GREEN- The Clarks Green Borough Council discussed at its monthly meeting the new sewer billing set to replace the previous billing by Pennsylvania Water Company, which will end in June. At the June 13 meeting, council said Clarks Green Borough will resume the billing in September. Council also voted to change the billing preparation to every quarter. Councilman Barry Philips reported that dye testing will be conducted on the sewer running under Vasser Avenue to determine the source of the unpleasant smell residents have reported and drain work on Belmont Avenue will begin later thismonth. Also discussed were the Clock Committee meetings held generally on the second Thursday of the month, 5 p.m. at the Pennstar bank across from the Borough Building. The committee is raising funds for an ornamental clock for the borough and seeking interested members of the community to join their efforts. Council also announced two summer workers selected to assist the Department of Public Works. They are no longer accepting applications.
June 14 was a busy day at Pallman Farms, Clarks Summit, with the strawberry field full of people filling their buckets. This years strawberry season in Northeastern Pa. is almost over, however, according to Brian Pallman, who co-owns the farm along with his brother, Bruce Pallman. He said the season began early and is turning out to be a short one, largely due to last years wet weather. He said the farm opened for picking June 6 and as of June 14, he said it would likely only be open about another week, depending on the volume of people coming out. Normally, he said, it stays open for three weeks. For additional photos, see www.theabingtonjournal.com

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - In 2011, local tree carver, Kevin Treat, Lake Winola, donated his time, talent and skills by transforming a dying pine tree along the Lake Eston Wilson shoreline at the Abington Area Community Park into a work of art with a wildlife theme that includes an eagle, owl and black bears. A fish carved from a portion of that pine tree will soon be added to the collection of tree carvings, thanks to Treat. He said, The park has ordered two theme benches to be positioned along the nature trail, so when they are made, there will be a total of four carvings which I made in the park: the tree I carved in the fall, the rising fish from the childrens fishing derby and two benches. The bench end pieces will be carved with

Treats generous donation marries art with nature, an important element to highlight. According to Treat, the fishing derby event carving will be positioned in the park once it is completed. He said, The piece of wood I used to carve it was actually off the top of the tree by the lake, which I carved last fall. Treat said the carving for the park will not be ready and installed at the park for at least a month.

Calligraphy and traditional cuisine were part of a June 3 gathering at The University of Scranton to celebrate the end of a successful semester, according to Shuhua Fan, Ph.D., one of the organizers of the Scranton Chinese School. Since fall 2010, The Scranton Chinese School, a nonprofit educational organization, has provided the community with an opportunity to learn Chinese language and culture, and throughout the year, holds events for Chinese School families that include Halloween celebrations, Chinese New Year festivals and spring picnics. Teachers, students and their families involved with the school gathered for a picnic at the universitys DeNaples patio. The event provided a good opportunity for parents to get to know one another and for kids to mingle with one another, said Dr. Fan. Traditional Chinese cuisine was prepared by families who attended the picnic, in addition to several main dishes supplied by dining services at the university. Activities included soccer on the Green Lawn and a words and color game with instructor, Limien Lin, who brought ink stone, ink and a Chinese soft brush pen to demonstrate calligraphy. Dr. Fan said, So many of us, including my son, also got name print because of Teacher Lins beautiful cal-

some very significant. It has been very, very helpful, Duncan said. Weve been blessed. Duncan added that the land was given to the church and the excavation is being done gratis by another person from the community. Church Council Chair Keith Eckel is excited for the fresh start the new building will provide. The great thing about the new building is that we will all be new to it, he said. The churches came together to reach out to the community and make everyone feel welcome to come to Countryside Community Church. Its a great opportunity to build a new congregation. Eckel also hopes the new building helps create an opportunity for the churchs youth programs to grow. Our Sunday School has been growing and our leaders are doing a great job, but I think there is much more opportunity for growth in the future. I hope the new construction will be inviting. Countryside Community Church was established on July 1, 2008 from the merger of four local United Methodist churches near Clarks Summit (Milwaukee, Newton, Ransom and Schultzville). Once the churches decided to merge, it was clear that this was a new church and needed an entirely new name, Executive Assistant Karen Rickaby said. The congregations had the opportunity to suggest their ideas for a new name by writing them on a paper and placing them in a box. Once the suggestions were collected, the top 10 or so were placed on a sheet of paper and each person got to vote for their favorite. Once the votes were counted, it was clear that Countryside Community Church was the winner. The church is a member of the Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church, formed two years ago, after the Wyoming and Central Pa. Conferences combined. A groundbreaking service was held May 22, 2011.
As the creek bank across from Creek Road slides, it takes part of Ledge Drive with it.
CREEK
Stann said the waterway belongs to the state, and it is difficult to obtain permission to work on it. But after the flooding in 2006, he was issued a permit to clean it out. Since then,more flooding occurred and the situation worsened. It just keeps accumulating.
He followed up with the natural gas company via telephone at least eight times since the initial contacts, he said, but without result. He presented the issue at a Ransom Township Board of Supervisors meeting March 5, explaining, I had the gas people here several times, and they werent concerned about it. And the one comment the one inspector made was, If it blows, its only going to go150 feet in the air. Well, my neighbors [Steckels] front door is150 feet off the creek. At that meeting, the supervisors agreed to send an official letter from the township to UGI. According to Supervisor Dennis Macheska, the letter was sent a short time after, but a response has not been received. As of June15, Don Brominski, spokesman for UGI, said the company is conducting an
investigation, but he was unable to comment further or say how long the investigation will take. Steckel said in the past, he has found UGI to be a phenomenal company to do business with, and he hopes the matter will soon be resolved. Residents in other parts of the township hope the rest of the problems with the creek will soon be resolved as well. Roger and Helen Doty, of Creek Road, said the creek washed away several yards of land from their property, which sits across from Ledge Drive, where the bank is sliding and taking part of the road with it. Helen Doty said the bank first started to slide after the flooding in 2006, and was repaired shortly after with concrete and large stones. But then in 2010, so much water came rushing through, the creek
washed everything away again. She said a more permanent fix is needed, and she hopes it will come soon. Ransom Township Road Master David Bird said after last years flooding, the township received a grant from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fix a large crack on Ledge Drive, but the task cant be completed without first securing the sliding bank. He said the township received a donation of stone for the project from Alliance Landfill, but he doesnt know where the township will obtain the money to complete the work. Although he said much more work needs to be done on the creek, including the removal of debris, straightening, and digging about four feet below the bed, his hope for this year is simply to secure the bank. He said he met with an engi-
neer and contractor the week before last, but has not yet received an estimate on how much the job will cost, which will eventually be put out for bid. Bird brought up the issue of the creeks needing to be cleaned out at a supervisors meeting May 30, where he explained the problem to Lackawanna County Community Relations Coordinator Rick Notari. Bird suggested since other townships in the county are also having problems with the creeks, it may be beneficial to get a program together for them to pool resources to get some work done. Notari said at the meeting he would bring the concerns back to county officials and check into the matter further. As of June15, he said the County is searching for ideas and looking into different possibilities.

Catherine Starkey Hartung, 60, Clarks Summit, died Sunday evening at her home. Her husband is David C. Hartung, they were married on March 13, 1998. Born in Shenandoah, she was the daughter of Catherine Starkey, Nanticoke and the late Francis Starkey. She was previously employed at Schott Glass and a past member of the Ransom Lions Club.

ONeill said PennDOT estimates the construction to take approximately six months and the tunnel will be closed for the duration of the work. The township will be responsible for the expense of the construction, although the township will be reimbursed for 50 percent of the costs. ONeill said the township must still choose what option to take to deal with the sewage during construction. Some options include boring from down the road, pumping the sewage from an upstream manhole for several months and the use of directional drilling. There are so many options out there, we have to narrow down whats best for us, ONeill said. The township also addressed complaints about burning in the township and burn permits. ONeill said the township needs to follow the regulations of

Supervisor Mark Dougherty said the burn permits are outdated and wants DEP to help regulate the issue. Were not looking at grills, were not looking at little fireplaces, Dougherty said. Were up here talking about heavy burning We should let the DEP issue the permit. The board unanimously motioned to draft a property maintenance code. ONeill said the code, which the township previously did not have in effect, will fine property owners with dilapidated and blighted properties, such as those with large numbers of pests or faulty wiring, among other factors. Township Solicitor Bill Jones said he wanted to improve the basics of the property code. Id like to see it beefed up on the enforcement side, Jones said. It helps protect people.

or anyone 21 years and older who would like to celebrate the arrival of summer amidst a backdrop of Beaux-Arts architecture, a landscaped garden and reflecting pool and the timeless beauty of Nay Aug Park, the upcoming Summer Solstice at the Everhart Museum is a must attend party, according to Cara Sutherland, Everhart Museum executive director. The Summer Solstice event will be held June 23, 5:30 p.m. to midnight on the grounds of the museum, and as Sutherland noted, the party will be festive, fun and social, and is the ultimate Northeastern Pennsylvania garden party to mark the be-
ginning of summer. She said, This is a night under the stars at the Everhart Museum and allows for our guests to have a great time while supporting an anchor institution that has provided cultural and educational experiences for many generations of NEPA residents. All proceeds benefit the general operations of the museum, as well as exhibits and programs throughout the year. Three hundred guests are expected to attend this years event, which premiered in 2007, and tickets for the Summer Solstice sell out quickly, so Sutherland advised purchasing tickets soon. She said, We maintain a waiting
list in the event of last-minute cancellations. A number of volunteers are committed to the Museum and work tirelessly on our behalf to make this event the success that it is. At the event, guests will have the opportunity to taste signature summer cocktails and hors doeuvres, followed by a meal featuring a menu developed by Paul Wanas of Accentuate Catering, who is known for his gourmet cuisine, said Sutherland. Meatless options will be available for guests following a vegan diet. The Everhart Museum is known for the quality of this event,

LIBRARY NEWS
BY MARY ANN MCGRATH
From the Abington Community Librarys new additions to the non-fiction books for children, here are some curious questions about structures and buildings around the world: 1) What structure lets ships get through the hot, dry desert? 2) What tower looks like a giant arrow pointing to the sky? 3) On what sculpture are the noses and mouths as big as some small boats? 4) What is the name of the bridge that has towers that look like the steps on a ladder? 5) What tall buildings design is based on a pencil? The following titles are from the series, Now Thats BIG! written by Kate Riggs. Each contains simple descriptive text accompanied by striking full-page photographs, many with an unusual perspective of the structure or building and each opens with a map of the area where it is located. The answers to the questions are in order, # 1 through # 5: Suez Canal. Starting with the history of the building of the canal and the foresight of Ferdinand de Lesseps who saw that a canal would mean ships would no longer have to sail around the tip of Africa, the book goes on to describe how it is used today for commerce and for tourism and how it helps the people in Egypt. Eiffel Tower. The text emphasizes how dangerous it was for the 200 men who worked to build the tower in Paris in the late 1800s, how it was like putting together a huge puzzle made of 18,000 iron and steel beams. The author also introduces readers to the designer, Gustave Eiffel, and how he wanted above all to make his simple tower beautiful. Mount Rushmore. Carved out of a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the sculpture shows the heads of four American presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. It was designed by a man named Gutzon Borglum and was built by about 400 people starting in 1927. They had to use dynamite to break up the rock and make shapes. Today, writes the author, more than two million people visit Mount Rushmore every year. Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which crosses a strait known as the Golden Gate, replaced ferries which linked the crowded city of San Francisco to towns across the water. Building began in 1933, one section at a time, with workers blasting through rock and swimming deep under the water to plant pillars in the ground. When it was finished in 1937, the bridge was 4,200 feet long. For a long time, it was the largest suspension bridge in the world. Empire State Building. Construction on the building, which is 102 stories high, was begun in 1930 by skyscraper builders who often had to work at dangerous heights.

Celebrating CARS
BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent
A 1936 Ford owned by Dan Shea, shown, is the 2012 Show Vehicle of the 41st Scranton Region Collector Car Show hosted by the Antique Automobile Club of America and sponsored by Road Scholar Transport.
he Scranton Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America is gearing up for its 41st annual car show, which will be held July 15 at the Abington Executive Park, Morgan Highway, South Abington Twp. The show is the clubs largest event of the year and features a flea market, various food vendors, live music and a car corral, culminating in a winners parade on the grounds starting at 3 p.m. According AACA Scranton Region president Dan Shea, the car show is meant to celebrate the automobile in all its glorious manifestations, from Depression-era vehicles to 1970s muscle cars to contemporary special-interest collectible cars. We went from exclusively antique cars to all different kinds of show cars, Shea said. Were trying to bring in the younger generation. The Scranton Region AACA, founded in 1971, includes nearly 150 members passionate about acquiring, refurbishing and showing extraordinary cars.
One need not own a show vehicle to join the club. Anyone can join, according to Shea. In addition to staging car shows, the club is involved with philanthropic activities that benefit the local community as well as social engagements for car lovers. The first show, according to the groups website, was held at South Abington Grade School in the early 1970s. After hosting the show at a few different locations, the group eventually found a permanent home on the grounds of the Allied International Salt Company, now the Abington Executive Park, in South Abington Twp. The Scranton Region AACA is a part of the national Antique Auto Club of America established in Philadelphia in 1936, when antique cars were turn-ofthe-century cars. At the local level, the Scranton Region AACA carries out the mission of its national parent, which is to promote the preservation and enjoyment of automotive history of all types, according to the clubs website.
The Abington Community Library will host a fundraising booth at the show. Raffle sales will benefit the library and be used toward purchasing additional books for its math, science and engineering collection for readers of all ages. Items to be raffled include those commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Indy 500, 2005 Ferrari World Champion Michael Schumacher, Bridgestone Motorcycle MotoGP, 2007 and 2011 Giants Despair Hillclimb and a Paul Newman #33 Budweiser Datsun poster. All posters were donated by Oscar Koveleski and come framed, ready to hang.
Shea said that people of all walks of life come together at the show, unified in their passion for automobiles. He said that an attendee could spend hours soaking up the car enthusiasts stories, which they tell with great passion. Shea emphasized that while the show is a top-notch affair, it is essentially about car aficionados and their cars rather than sheer competition. Its all about people and their cars, he said. Gates open at 8 a.m. with car registration until noon. General admission is $3. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free. Joe Kruz will provide live music and there will food and drink concessions. The club will provide dash plaques for the first 400 participants. The winners parade will take place on the grounds beginning at 3 p.m. Those who rode in antique cars in their heydays are strongly encouraged to attend and share their experiences. For more information, call 346.3771, or on the day of the show 650.3634.
