Old man winter has finally loosened hisgrip on northeast Pennsylvania and now localfamilies with school-aged children are startingto plan summer vacations.One group dedicated to the promotion and

preservation of the outdoors is hoping that lo-cal families will suggest their inaugural campto their teenagers.The Keystone College/Trout Unlimited

Teens Conservation Camp is a collaborativeeffort between Keystone College in LaPlumeand the Lackawanna Valley Chapter of TroutUnlimited, which comprises all of Lackawan-na, Susquehanna and Wayne counties, as wellas half of Wyoming County. The camp will beheld from Sunday, June 14, through Saturday,June 20 and is open to teenagers ares 14-17.“We’ve been trying to put a camp like this

together for 11 years.,” said camp founder andco-director Charles Charlesworth. “This isthe first year we’ve finally been able to get ittogether. While it is open to anyone in thecountry, our very first registration applicationcame from Roanoke, Virginia, and our secondis from someone from Williamsport. We’rehoping that students from northeast Pennsyl-vania apply as well.”Charlesworth said that unlike run-of-the-

mill summer camps, this one will give the stu-dents the chance to learn how to fly fish aswell as learn about earth and environmentalsciences and how a love for the outdoors canlead to a future career.“The thing that satisfies us the most is that

every instructor will discuss with the class howhe or she made his or her career choice,” hesaid. “The students will learn just how many

careers are available in the outdoors and theenvironment.”Registration for the camp is $275 and in-

cludes meals, materials, study guides and theuse of loaner equipment. Students are per-mitted to bring their own fishing equipmentbut neither Trout Unlimited nor Keystone

College will be responsible for it. Studentscan apply for the camp through their localTrout Unlimited chapter and scholarships areavailable.For more information on the camp, visit

Green SceneA column by the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commissionby Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Yesterday was tax day and some of usare licking our wounds. Those unfortunatepeople may be more interested in anotherkind of party rather than a tree party, espe-cially if those trees werefunded by their local,state or federal taxes.For taxpayers who

feel that the public sec-tor should only fill aminimal role in society,the idea of municipal-funded planting projectsis problematic and theonly thing worse thanelected officials comingunannounced to plant atree that you paid for onyour property is electedofficials planting a treethat you paid for onsomeone else’s property.For even the most

ardent supporters of lim-ited government, thereis a place for the pub-lic sector. Otherwise,who would researchand regulate the move-ment of firewood to tryto prevent Michigan’s emerald ash borerfrom destroying your ash trees in ClarksSummit? The public sector is just that —the inevitable connection between privatelives. In other words, unless someone is ad-vocating for human life to be hermit life,there has to be public interaction. Thereare multiple degrees of regulating publicinteraction on the one hand and orna-menting it on the other. For example, onemunicipality might cut down all publictrees to eliminate risk and maintenance.But property values suffer there as the resi-dents migrate to a nearby municipality thatis planting and maintaining public treesand landscaping.The public sector is a reality of life and

there are dilemmas when defining the na-ture of that public sector. The Clarks Sum-mit Shade Tree Commission has tried to

follow a careful approach to our public-sector responsibilities. When applying or-dinances and permits, we have tried to beboth firm and understanding by recogniz-ing “grandfathered” situations. When rais-ing, acquiring and spending public money,we have tried to be prudent. We plant,

if possible, in the mostimpactful areas, usingvolunteer labor and weaccess grant funds thathave already been fund-ed through our taxes.We are also looking

for creative funding out-side of taxes. We havedeveloped a proposalsimilar to that alreadybeing done elsewhere. InOcean City, New Jersey,when any constructionrequires a zoning permit,a landscape plan mustbe submitted that is infull compliance with thelandscaping ordinance ofthe city. The ordinancestates that developerswho cannot provide atree on a particular lotmust pay $375 for eachtree into a fund that willprovide a tree in an al-

ternate location. By focusing on develop-ment money, this plan recognizes “grand-fathered” situations on the one hand, butrequires prospective investors to improvenot only the value of the land to them-selves, but also to the community. In thiscase, taxes are not used to improve publicgreen spaces. Instead, existing market de-mand for property willingly pays the bill.

Kerrigan Buck will miss her days atLackawanna Trail when she graduates inJune.But she will keep herself busy at Wash-

ington College, hoping to try out for thesoftball team as well as play field hockeyfor the Maryland school.As if that wasn’t enough, Buck plans on

pursuing a double major in chemistry andbiology.“I’m going to be very busy,” Buck said.So for now, she’s going to enjoy her se-

nior softball season with the Lady Lionsand is being moved from first base back toher favorite position — third base. It’s theposition she plays for the Northeast Stars,an area travel team, but she hasn’t playedthere for Lackawanna Trail the last twoyears as coach John Brander had movedher to first.He knows some may question his san-

ity for doing so, fully understanding howit may look, but it’s a decision he truly be-lieves in.“In town ball, she played third, but

then I needed her at first,” Brander said.“She’s played there the last two years, andto be honest with you, who takes an all-star off her position? Nowhere else, but weneed her there [at third]. I know she canhandle it. In this case I think it’s going towork out. She was the best first basemanlast year and this year I think she can bethe best third baseman. She’s going to fitin nicely.”Buck is eagerly anticipating getting

back in the groove at third after a coupleof seasons at first.“I’m very excited to move back to third

base,” Buck said. “It’s all reaction; thereisn’t time to think about it, about whatyou have to do.”Buck isn’t worried about charging bunts

or having line shots coming at her as shenears home plate.“I’m not scared of the ball, never have

been,” Buck said.Brander likes hearing that type of atti-

tude from his third baseman, knowing oth-

ers may shy away from playing the positionbecause of the threat of injury.“She can handle all the hard-hit balls,”

Brander said. “She’s pretty fearless overthere, she’s not afraid to come in on a bun-ting situation; she trusts her glove.”The infield has just catcher Mackenzie

Duffy and shortstop Madison Lee at thesame position as senior Kasey Buck, Ker-rigan’s twin sister, takes over at first withfreshman Allison Decker on the moundand senior Daria Lewandowski at second.Kerrigan just wants to return to third in

the hopes of making the team a contend-er for the Lackawanna League DivisionIV title as well as the District 2 Class Achampionship.“Hopefully this will give us the best

combination of players on the field,” Bucksaid. “It won’t be just one individual mak-ing the team better. Hopefully everythingjust clicks.”Expectations are high for the Lady Li-

ons and Brander hopes his third basemancan have another outstanding season forLackawanna Trail, since she is the clean-

up hitter for the team.“Right now she’s probably going to be

batting out of the cleanup spot,” Brandersaid. “She has good power to the oppositefield also; she can take that outside pitchand go with it.”The better she hits and the more runs

batted in she can produce will only helpthe team, which is relying on those thingsfrom Buck.“I just get up there and do what I have

to do,” Buck said. “I’m really excited aboutour chances this year.”It seems just like yesterday that Buck

was a freshman going out for the varsityteam and part of her isn’t ready to see herhigh school days come to an end.“It’s kind of upsetting because it’s our

last chance at the district,” Buck said. “I’mreally excited about the team this year.”She was also nostalgic about her time

at first base for the Lady Lions, but what-ever sorrowful feelings she may have willbe overcome by getting a final high schoolseason at third.“I don’t want to say it was easy, but it

was kind of nice just catching the ball allthe time,” the senior said. “I didn’t have toworry about too much. I really didn’t gettoo many [grounders].”The senior will do whatever Brander

asks of her and, for now, that’s playing welldefensively at third base and producing of-fense from hitting fourth in the battingorder. The ultimate goal is to win as manygames as possible.“We’re going to be competitive in ev-

ery game we play. I’d like to think we’regoing to be in the mix for the divisiontitle,” Brander said. “We know Montroseis going to be tough, and Mountain Viewwill be OK. As far as districts go, we’re go-ing to be right there. Old Forge lost quitea bit, Mountain View lost quite a bit alsoand we should be in the mix.”Being in the hunt to end her final high

school sports season with a spot in thestate playoffs after winning a division title,Buck will juggle the good feelings that suc-cess will bring with the sadness of leavinghigh school behind.

Returning to Home BaseLackawanna Trail’s Buck returns to her strength after two years

Lackawanna Trail’s Kerrigan Buck is part of the Lady Lions softball as well as fieldhockey teams. As the softball team’s third baseman, Buck hopes to end her high schoolsports season with a division title and a spot in the state playoffs.
