Spring is synonymous with both blooms andbargains, as two events happening this Satur-day, May 16, in Dalton, prove.The sixth annual Friends of the Dalton
Community Library Herb and Perennial Fes-tival will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at theDalton Fire Hall, 109 South Turnpike Road.The event is one of the library’s major fundrais-ers and has grown annually.“The herbs sell out every year and we adjust
accordingly,” said Janet Geeza. “Each year wehave a varied number of baskets for raffle andperennials, so that impacts the sale. Overall,
we have been growing in patronage and, as weimprove our sale, each seems more successfulthan the previous.”Annual herbs such as basil, dill and parsley,
as well as perennial herbs like oregano, laven-der, mint, rosemary and sage will be sold. ThePenn State Master Gardeners will also be onhand to answer questions about soil, plants,trees, pests and growing conditions. O’HaraTree Service will also be present to answerlandscaping questions.“Members of the Friends of the Dalton
Community Library have donated perennialflowers in the past for the sale,” said EileenSzymanski. “It has always been a nice, friendly
informative gathering.”As a part of the event, gardening books will
also be available for a donation and perennialsby Cynthia Harrison will also be sold.Besides the Herb and Perennial Festival, the
14th annual two-mile-long yard sale will alsotake place in Dalton, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.,beginning on North Turnpike Road at theDalton Pharmacy to the LaPlume Post Officeon Route 438.

Green SceneA column from the Clarks Summit Shade
Tree Commission
by Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN
Recently, the University of Scran-ton held several Earth Week celebrationactivities. I joined the campus Sustain-ability Club in handing out seedlings ob-tained from the Arbor Day Foundation. Itwas my job to discussthe trees, their plant-ing and how to carefor them. Looking atwhat we were hand-ing out — mere twigspacked in green partycups — it was hard toimagine the future ofthese arboriculturalinfants. In fact, as amunicipal arborist,I have been trainedto avoid using treesthis small. This isbecause trees plantedin the urban forestface threats too bigfor seedlings to face,such as vandalism,vehicle traffic, roadsalt, lawn mowersand string trimmers.Larger trees have abetter chance againstsuch foes.It was hard for
me to imagine theseseedlings amounting to much, untilsomeone stopped by and said that histulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) speci-men from 10 years ago had now reacheda height of 30 feet. I informed him thatthe tulip tree can grow to more than 100feet tall. I asked him if the tree had re-ceived any pruning. All evening long, asI discussed trees with people, I encour-aged them to plan to prune their treesas they grow. Just as it was hard for meto imagine these seedlings as giant trees,it was as hard for the people who wouldbe planting them to imagine that theywould need to put these trees on a prun-ing program.Little did I know that in just a few
short days, in prominent locationsthroughout the Abingtons, there wouldbe plenty of evidence that young treesneed to be pruned properly. Spring windsproduced crown failures in young maplesaround town. While failures in youngtrees do not result in injury to persons
or property, they aredisfiguring to thetree, require cleanupand can be discour-aging to otherwiseeager tree-plantinghomeowners.On the other
hand, these blow-downs can be seen asblessings in disguiseand they are a warn-ing to the rest of usto prune our youngtrees. This week, Iwas visiting with anew customer whenI was surprised tosee that her prizedpear tree had “luck-ily” survived winddamage for decades.Luck, however,would not be nec-essary had the treebeen properly prunedwhen it was young.Instead, the tree now
needs cabling to preserve its balancedcrown. Now if the tree fails before I cancable it, it will lose half its crown. In thecase of this tree, with half of its crownmissing, the customer would probablychoose to replace the tree and start over.So get out now and check your young
trees. Look for week “V” joints that willlikely fail sooner or later. By pruningweak unions now, you will save yourselffinancial and aesthetic loss in the future.

2015 Voters’ GuideEditor’s note: The candidate statements
that appeared in last issue’s voters’ guidewere in response to several weeks of full-page advertisements in this newspaper, andwere submitted by the stated deadline. Thefollowing two statements were received afterlast week’s issue was printed and distributed.
Clerk of Judicial RecordsDEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICAN
Kevin HaggertyThere is no greater professional honor
than public service. How we arrive, how-ever, is more important than winningitself. I grew up in Dunmore and, today,looking back, I understand the amazingblessing born into mylife. My mother andfather did not haveeverything, but mythree siblings and Inever knew any dif-ferent. Life was muchdifferent back then.A family could sur-vive on one salaryand the family unitwas stronger because of it.I want to change the shape and culture
of not only this county but, one day, theculture of this country. I am a graduateof Villanova University and I am a for-mer United States Marine. I served as aninner-city teacher and youthful offendercoach/teacher. My days growing up inDunmore were far different than theseboys who were born into strife and, ifthere is one reason I want to serve thepublic, it is to make sure that young peo-ple have somewhere or someone to turnto.As a former state representative who
had his district gerrymandered away, Ihad the option to just throw in the towel.But that’s not who I am, and today I giveall the credit to my wife, Jennifer, forstanding next to me during those difficultdays.Not only is my wife strong for me,
she is also strong in her own professionalworld and, most of all, in how she raisesour young children. I would not be af-forded the opportunity to run for officewithout an even stronger person behindme. I owe so much to my wife, Jennifer.I believe our communities should be
like family. In office, like at home, I want
serve everyone, and never just that smalllittle niche of special interest.I believe in the words for the people.
They aren’t just words to me. I also wishgood luck to everyone participating inthe upcoming election on May 19.

for Lackawanna County Clerk of JudicialRecords. I am a graduate of Valley ViewHigh School, 1997, attended Lackawa-nna College 1997-1999, majored in el-ementary education,and am currently fin-ishing a bachelor’s de-gree in law and societyfrom Penn State Uni-versity. My hometownis Jessup. I currentlyreside in JeffersonTownship for the pasttwo years.

Iwant to honorably serve the people of thiscounty; therefore, my involvement withvarious legal documents, administrativeexperience and a proven track record ofbeing a community leader has preparedme for this duty. If elected, I will insureall documents are being processed themost accurate, cost-effective way for thetax payers of Lackawanna County.

School NewS Making Your MarkCommunity Newspaper Group announces
new way to advertiseby Stephanie LongoCNG EDITOR
It’s a way to packa visual punch andit has now become away for local business-es to advertise withnewspapers ownedby Times-ShamrockC omm u n i c a t i o n s ’Community Newspa-per Group (CNG).Readers of the
Abington Suburban,Triboro Banner andValley Advantage willnotice the pristine,full-color, glossy,single-sheet insertsin the coming weeks.While area advertis-ers have been ableto count on newspa-pers for all of theirneeds, this new ven-ture, which began onThursday, May 7, willgive them the chanceto put their businessfront-and-center.“It’s a low-cost, ef-
fective way to reachpotential customers,”said CNG advertising manager AliceManley. “Our community newspapersare inserted into the Scranton Times-Tribune every week, ensuring homedelivery. As an added bonus, the in-serts will give advertisers the chanceto zone to a small area.”According to a study by Frank N.
Magid Associates for the NewspaperAssociation of America (NAA), 39percent on American adult internetusers favored print newspapers for re-ceiving ad inserts and fliers, a more-than-10-percent difference from thosewho preferred internet-based or mail-based advertising. Seventy percentof respondents said that they checknewspaper inserts to see what’s on saleor what other savings are out there,
and half of the overall respondentssaid that it is easier to peruse a print-based insert than to have to go onlineto discover sales, promotions or newproducts.While having the inserts makes
product- and service-hunting mucheasier for the consumer, Manley saidthat CNG aims to make the insert cre-ation process easier for the advertiserso it is a win-win for all.“We do all the work,” she said. “We
design, print and insert the ads, makingit a huge discount off the cost to directmail. If your insert is already complete,it is no problem. We will provide youwith a cost to insert only. We aim tomake this a great experience.”For more information or to schedule
an insert, call 570-348-9185.

Putting It All TogetherLady Comets’ Alex Gockley excels on softball mound
SportS
by Dave LaurihaABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER
You can’t say that Abington Heightssenior Alex Gockley is not a team player.As a sophomore, Gockley started at
second base on the Lady Comets soft-ball team but, in her junior year, she wasasked to move to third base.As a junior, she batted leadoff, but
was asked to move down to third in theorder this year.Once again, Gockley made the move
not only willingly, but has continued toshine for the Lady Comets, also steppingup to be a leader for a team that finishedits Lackawanna League Division I sched-ule with a 9-4 mark.“She’s been a very good leader, not
only vocally but statistically,” Lady Com-ets coach John Kelly said. “She’s one ofthe top hitters in the league, she leads inbatting average and leads the league inruns batted in; is second in runs scoredand is second in hits. She’s doing a lot.”It’s the non statistical part of the game
where Gockley has tried to make a bigimpact in driving the team to its recordthis season.“Basically, it’s always been a problem
with getting the girls to work together,from week to week and being consistent.We’ve been trying to work on it,” Gock-ley said. “This year, I took it upon myself,along with the other seniors, to get the
girls to work together more. We’ve hadmore outings together, trying to get thegirls closer, to be able to talk together.We’ve done a lot of things this year tomesh, and it has resulted in us playingbetter on the field.”The ultimate goals are division and
District 2 titles, and the Lady Comets fig-ure to be a contender in the tough ClassAAA bracket that will also have Divi-sion I foes Valley View and ScrantonPrep. Togetherness breeds confidencethat the team will always have everyplayer’s back.“They know they can come to the se-
niors for anything they need and there’sno problem. There is no shyness or any-thing and they can come to any of us andwe’ll all give them help when they needit,” Gockley said.On the field, Gockley has produced
better than she ever has and Kelly is gladto see her talents on display for the LadyComets. She is a decisive player in theteam’s charge at titles.“We knew she always had this capabil-
ity, but she’s put it all together this year,”Kelly said. “She’s really done a great job.”She has shown adaptability in being
able to make the change from battingfirst, where getting on base and scoringruns are key components for success, tothird, where Gockley is under the gunto drive in runs powering the ball to allfields.
“We had her as our lead-off hitter lastyear, but we moved her down to thirdthis year because she’s a gap hitter,” Kellysaid. “She hits balls to right-center, left-center, so she’s one of our top extra-basehitters and we figured it would be betterto move her down the lineup so she’d getan opportunity to drive in more runs andnow she’s leading the league with 12 runsbatted in, so it was a good move.”Gockley didn’t mind moving back in
the order, because it was done to help theteam and that’s the most important as-pect for the Lady Comets.“I prefer batting in the three hole be-
cause I like to move runners and I havea better chance of helping the team bymoving the runner than me being on my-self,” Gockley said.She has more than fulfilled the hopes
that Kelly had for her on the offensiveside of the ball, as her statistics show.The coach has seen her improve quietly,watching her put the ball in play moreoften than she had been in over the pre-vious two years.“This year, she’s been more consis-
tent hitting,” Kelly said. “She’s alwaysbeen a good hitter, but Alex had the ten-dency to get herself out by swinging atbad pitches. This year, she’s been a lotmore selective at the plate, and that’sdefinitely shown as her batting averageis way up there in the league, runs battedin, doubles and hits.”
Gockley’s defensive took awhile tocome around this year, no doubt ham-pered by the late winter weather thatforced softball teams to conduct most oftheir preseason work in the gym, wherethrowing and fielding ground balls on asmooth surface is about all an infieldercan do.“Defensively, she’s coming along. She
had her struggles early in the season whenthe weather was cold and everybody wasstruggling, but she’s put it together thelast four or five games,” Kelly said. “She’sbeen solid at third base, which is a dif-ficult position to play.”Behind the play of Gockley and the
rest of the Lady Comets, AbingtonHeights figures to be in the mix to claima District 2 Class AAA title, despite allthe tough competition the looms ahead.A victory over Valley View last week inthe Lady Comets’ final divisional gamehas bolstered the team’s confidence,something they will need a lot of tosurvive a bracket loaded with powerfulteam. The stakes are high, but the LadyComets are hitting their peak at the righttime of the season, in the playoffs.
