For the late Peg Winter, summers were allabout going to her cabin at Indian Lake andspending her days birdwatching and quilting.Winter, who was the founder of the

Abington Community Library’s “Always inStitches” quilting group, died last Septem-ber and members of the group wanted to dosomething in her memory. As February is themonth that celebrates love, they decided todedicate the library’s monthly art exhibit toPeg and her love of quilting.The Margaret “Peg” Winter Memorial

Quilt Show features a variety of Winter’shandmade quilts, ranging from her begin-ning years to her final pieces. The library isalso hosting a presentation by Denise Norbergand Lorraine Ezbianski, who wrote “Saved forthe People of Pennsylvania: Quilts from theCollection of the State Museum of Pennsyl-vania,” on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 4 p.m. in Win-ter’s memory.“She always promoted what you wanted

to do, inspired you and helped you every stepof the way,” said Molly Farinola, who joinedAlways in Stitches after grappling with an un-certainty of whether or not quilting was theright hobby for her.“I snuck into the room and sat in the back

row because I thought it was going to be ascary experience and too much for me — Ithought it was a quick exit,” Farinola added.“Peg was so down-to-earth about it that itsounded like a great hobby.”Always in Stitches is one of the Abington

Community Library’s most popular groups,boasting more than 20 members. They regu-larly make and donate quilts for charities and

enjoy helping “newbies” learn the craft.For Winter, the group was a way to make

friends as well as share her passion.“She would break it down for you so you

would be able to do the most complicatedthing with confidence,” Farinola said. “Shewas a great teacher.”The Abington Community Library is lo-

cated at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit.Seating for the Sunday, Feb. 22, lecture is lim-ited and registration is required. To register orfor more information, call 570-587-3440.

The money raised is donated to the organization that is selected by themembers of the team.

In addition to making a monetary con-tribution to the Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors, the team showed its support and ap-preciation for all veterans and active members of the armed services by wearing navyand white camouflage jerseys during pre-game of the RailRiders Bowl at PNC Field.

Help for AnimalsDear Editor:Griffin Pond Animal Shelter reminds

pet owners to beware of cold temperaturesand to keep their dogs safe this winter, par-ticularly during times of severe weather bybringing your pets indoors.More dogs perish in the winter than at

any other time of the year. Some animalsare better equipped to handle the coldweather than others depending on thebody mass, weight and fur; however, hypo-thermia and frostbite are common threatsto animals kept outside in times of extremeweather conditions. Another winter threatfor pets is antifreeze poisoning as dogs likethe sweet taste of antifreeze Pet-safe icemelt is recommended as ice-salt is toxicand irritates a dog’s paws.Eliminate the possibility of poisoning.

Unfortunately, dogs like the sweet tasteof antifreeze, which can cause sickness or

even death if ingested. Make certain thatall antifreeze containers are well out ofreach of dogs and thoroughly clean anyspills immediately.Provide a protective shelter: If your dog

or cat stays outside in the winter, the pet’sshelter housing should be raised a coupleof inches off the ground. The inside shouldhave straw, which should be changed fre-quently to keep animals as warm and dryas possible. Animals living outside shouldat least have straw bedding. Hay does notmake a good heat insulator as hay is flat.Straw provides better insulation because itis tubular. Blankets often freeze so they arenot the best option unless used as paddingunder the straw. Door flaps help keep theinside slightly warmer as well. The size ofthe shelter should be large enough so yourpet can sit and stand, but small enoughso his body heat will be retained in thehouse. Use a plastic water bowl to ensure

your pet’s tongue does not get stuck to coldmetal and change the water often to keepit from freezing.Farm animals: Cattle stay warm by in-

creasing their heart rate, respiration andblood flow. This is why livestock need toincrease their feed intake during the win-ter months. Farm animals should also haveshelter and straw.Pet Supplies Plus (Dickson City) and

Vern’s Agway (LaPlume) have donatedfood samples, straw and styrofoam contain-ers to the shelter, for the public to takewith no charge and use to help animals.The food, straw and containers are locatedinside the vestibule between the two frontdoors to the shelter.

Green SceneA column from the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commissionby Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

As I sat in the delivery room awaitingthe birth of our daughter on Tuesday, Feb.10, my wife urged me to write about thereproduction of trees for this week’s col-umn. I do not know about you, but I amglad people do not reproduce like trees —grafting to produce clones just seems a bet-ter fit for the plant kind of nursery. At thesame time, if you makethe comparison withhumans, it is commonsense that sexual re-production produces adifferent variety fromthe parents. With ap-ple trees, for example,grafting, or asexual re-production, is the onlyway to reproduce thedesired ”cloned” vari-ety.All apple trees

grown from seed aredifferent from the par-ents so, aside from ag-ricultural intervention,apple varieties wouldchange continually.Because of this, themarket tends to deter-mine what apples will be propagated andonly “best-sellers” are mass-produced. Oldvarieties, without cultivation, thus fall bythe wayside. Of course, cosmetic appeal,generic flavor and shelf life determine mar-ket selection, so antique varieties literallygo extinct. More than 20 years ago, NewHampshire orchardist Stephen Wood sawan opportunity here and developed Pov-erty Lane Orchards, which is dedicatedto growing and marketing “uncommon”apples.What about asexual reproduction in

your front yard? A few years ago, I wasasked to relandscape a front yard. The bedbordering the house was full of 40-year-old rhododendrons that had been not-so-lovingly sheared until they were six feethigh and more than 10 feet deep. I begancutting the trunks near the house but, sur-prisingly, even when the trunks were cut,

the plants were not free of the ground.Four feet from the house, there were othertrunks to which the plants were attached.How did this happen? The answer is

simple; it happened by asexual reproduc-tion by layering. Believe it or not, if youlike a shrub, you can wound a branch,wrap the branch in plastic-enclosed damppeat moss and, in a year, you can cut offthe now-rooted branch and plant your newshrub. When done with intention, this

propagation techniqueis called “air-layering.”The same process hap-pens unintentionallyall the time in unmain-tained and improp-erly maintained land-scapes. A holly branchgrows near the groundand, as it gets heavieror leaves fall on it ora careless landscapeworker throws mulchon it, it begins to lieon the ground. Soon itis rooted and you havea new holly plant thatis still attached to theoriginal.This type of vegeta-

tive reproduction hap-pens with many kinds of shrubs and trees.In the case of the rhododendron bed, bynot pruning the lower branches, the shrubsbegan their uninvited march to the street.If you do not want this to happen, pruneyour lower branches. You will be surprisedthat not only will your landscaping lookcleaner, but maintenance tasks such as leafclean-up and mulching will also be simpli-fied.

Joshua Arp is an ISA-certified MunicipalSpecialist, a Clarks Summit tree commissionerand an operator of a landscape maintenancebusiness. He can be reached at [email protected].

Editor’s note: From the entire CommunityNewspaper Group, we would like to congrat-ulate Joshua and Kelly Arp on their new ar-rival. Best wishes to the whole family!

SportS

by Dave LaurihaABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

When Justin Ganser puts his heart intohis activities, he is capable of doing any-thing.Now a sophomore 113-pound wrestler

at Lackawanna Trail, Ganser is trying toend his season with a long post-season run,a journey that begins in earnest with theDistrict 2 individual championships Fri-day.If he places high enough at districts,

then Ganser would move on to the North-east Regionals and a great finish therecould get him a state berth.But he won’t get ahead of himself. If he

doesn’t finish high enough, his season willbe over and, as someone who has wrestledsince he was in kindergarten, Ganser won’ttake anything for granted on the mat.“I just have to work as hard as I can,”

Ganser said. “If you put your mind to some-thing, you can do whatever you want.”And what he wants is to keep on wres-

tling, trying to extend his season one week-end at a time.Advancing beyond districts would be

an achievement for Ganser, making theyear a success.“It’s been a really good season, not my

best, but I’ve been working a little harder,”Ganser said. “My expectations were totry my hardest and do my best. It’s been avery good year, with a lot of help from mycoaches and my teammates.”At a school lacking in numbers for the

sport, Lions head coach Keith Youtz appre-ciates having someone who loves the sporton the team. Ganser’s whirlwind prepara-tion for the sport has shown on the matthis season.“He’s one of the kids who are really into

the wrestling at our school right now,”Youtz said. “He went to some things in thespring and went to a camp with us in thesummer and also went to a place in Wil-kes-Barre and also worked out with someof the Abington guys with Jimmy Simrellin Clarks Summit.”“He really likes the sport, he just needs

a little more strength,” he continued. “He’s

got some of the moves down, he’s some-what technical. He just doesn’t have thestrength right now.”Ganser seems willing to do what he

needs to do in order to compete.“I want to go out there and try my best,

go out there with a winning attitude,”Ganser said. “You have to try your hardest,do you best, no matter what the outcomeis.”The sophomore seems to do his best in

neutral and counts on his sweep single toscore points from that position.“My sweep single, it’s my go-to move

from neutral,” Ganser said.The season has been far from smooth,

but Ganser has been battling the best hecan.“I was out for a little bit because I got

sick,” Ganser said. “But I’m in good shapenow.”Youtz said he learned from his time off

from the sport.“He really likes wrestling, he was there

every day when he was [unable] to com-pete,” Youtz said. “He went to the match-es; and that’s pretty tough when you reallylike a sport and you have to go and just sitand watch.”The time away from competition en-

abled Ganser to understand what he needsto do when he’s on the mat.

“I have to go out there and wrestle ev-ery match like it’s a championship match,”Ganser said. “I wrestle my hardest. I go outevery match like it’s my last match.”One never knows when that last bout

will take place any season, but Ganserhopes to put together a run that will de-lay the inevitable for as long as possible.That’s the one thing he has learned duringhis lifetime on the mats.One thing is for sure. If Ganser has

a good weekend this weekend, he mayachieve a regional berth and that will givehim another week on the wrestling mat.That’s all the sophomore is looking to dothis weekend.

Heart on the MatLackawanna Trail’s Justin Ganser hopes for a district placement this week in wrestling

Justin Ganser pinned Nanticoke’s Megan Kocher in 2:50 during the Lions’ last home wrestling match of the season.
