It was the era of flappers, speakeasies and“talkies.”Hoping to bring a bit of the Jazz Age to

the Abingtons while raising awareness for Al-zheimer’s disease, the Abington Heights CivicLeague (AHCL) will host a Roaring 20s Galaon Saturday, March 28, from 6-11 p.m. at theCountry Club of Scranton.As television shows like “Downton Abbey”

and “Mr. Selfridge” grow in popularity, eventco-chair Gretchen Eagen said that the AHCLdecided to put the 1920s twist on their annualMardi Gras party. Gala attendees can dress inperiod fashion, if they desire, and black tie isoptional“Everyone seems to be getting exciting

about this theme,” Eagen said. “We have thefeathers and the boas and we plan on havinga good time.”Part of the good time, though, includes

educating the public on Alzheimer’s disease,including warning signs and caregiving. Eagenherself is a caregiver for Alzheimer’s patientsand, through her work, has witnessed how thedisease progresses. The gala will feature recog-nition of loved ones who have suffered or aresuffering from the disease in a way that willcelebrate their lives versus focusing on theirillness.“In education, you want to educate the

community in a manner that will get the en-tire community involved,” she said. “By focus-ing on Alzheimer’s awareness, we’ve actuallybroadened the scope of what we call the ‘com-munity’ as now the medical community is in-volved as well. We wanted to present this in away to involve everyone.”“Alzheimer’s came about as a focus through

a couple of different ways,” she continued.“Due to the fact that our population is agingand due to the fact that our education on Al-zheimer’s is lacking, we felt it was a great wayto give back in a multifaceted way. We wantto teach about what the disease is, but also thecare for it, whether it be medication, caregiv-

ing or a home and not only helping the indi-vidual who is suffering from it, but also help-ing the family and loved ones who are helpingto care for that person.”According to the Alzheimer’s Association,

more than five million Americans are livingwith Alzheimer’s disease and every 67 secondssomeone develops it. Alzheimer’s is also thesixth leading cause of death in the UnitedStates and one in three seniors dies with Al-zheimer’s or another form of dementia.“People do die from Alzheimer’s, it is the

progression of the disease that can kill,” Eagensaid. “Because it is linked to your mind, it af-fects your bodily functions, that’s why peoplewho have it have strokes and other things hap-pen to them. You see a progression when youtake care of someone who has it; they aren’table to do the normal tasks that they were ableto before they developed the disease. Whenyou have a loved one or a friend who developsAlzheimer’s, the hardest thing for the personwho has known them has been the changeand grieving the loss of who the person was.Having the opportunity to cherish the mo-ment as they are is so important; you get ‘gift’moments with them that you can cherish.”Tickets for the gala are $40 per person. The

Roaring 20s Gala will also feature a wine pull,silent auction, live auction, a 50/50 raffle, afull buffet dinner and a cash bar as well asa photo booth with props. For tickets or formore information, call Eagen at 570-878-9795or email [email protected]. To have some-one who is suffering from Alzheimer’s or an-other form of dementia recognized at the gala,contact Susan Burke at 570-586-8740 or at570-498-3877.

Green SceneA column from the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commissionby Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

Tom Wessels is the expert in forestforensics. By looking carefully at a for-est’s current state, he is able to read de-cades of its history. Questions he can an-swer just by looking at the current stateof your woods include whether or not anarea was once affected by logging, fire,grazing and/or storms. That being said,with the leaves stilloff your trees thislate winter, perhapsyou should take afew moments and dosome forensic analy-sis on the trees onyour property.With no leaves,

a well-trained eyecan easily read thestructure of a tree.Believe it or not,the form of your ownbody can be a guidefor looking at theform of your trees.The human body hasbilateral symmetry,with one trunk, fourlimbs and 20 fingersand toes. Movingfrom the center out,each part is progres-sively thinner andthe thicknesses arebalanced. If, how-ever, you had onearm the size of a leg,a leg the size of an arm, a foot with notoes or your hands had 15 unusually longfingers each, you would naturally seek anexplanation.The same goes for a tree. Maybe your

tree has no “fingers” but only “arms” orany possible combination. If that’s thecase, maybe you hired someone to “top”the tree. Similarly, if the appearanceof your tree is dominated by hundredsof ever-lengthening finger-like sprouts,well, you know what happened there,too, because it seems like you might have

once hired someone to trim the tree ev-ery other year. Picture this: along thestreet and under the power lines, someof the branches in the middle of yourtrees are dead stumps or are missing alto-gether and some of the branches towardyour lawn or the street seem to be allyoung shoots. In this particular case, thepower company regularly used to mowdown the branches under the lines. Thishard cutting caused the death of the in-

terior branches andthe numerous watersprouts on the outerbranches. More re-cently, however, theutility is followingdirectional pruningand only remov-ing living branchesgrowing toward thepower lines.Look for past

cuts. If your tree hasever been topped,because of the sharpdifference in thick-ness of branches,you will be able tosee the location ofthe cuts and you maybe able to see decayspreading down thebranch away fromthe cuts.You can do more

forensics, too. Askyourself, “Is part ofthe tree undersized

because it has been shaded by anothertree or building?” “Is half the tree indecline because you replaced the sewerline under it or because your brother-in-law knocked off half the bark with themoving truck ten years ago?”Learn from the past so your trees are

not doomed to repeat it.

It’s about ImprovingProtection

State rep. proposes bi-partisan bill

by Shannon C. KeithTRIBORO BANNER EDITOR

There is currently no legislation in thestate that requires school districts to con-duct emergency lockdown drills.And that’s something State Rep. Sid

Kavulich wants to see change.“Schools have always worked for the

safety of their students,” Kavulich ex-plained. “Fire drills have been going onforever, but in this day and age, Rep.Hackett and I feel we need to be preparedfor a different sort of threat.”Kavulich, who is a Democrat, teamed

up with Republican Joseph Hackett fromthe 161 district.“There is absolutely no reason why we

can’t come together and work together onsomething as important as the safety of ourchildren,” he said.Current law requires schools to have

emergency management plans in placeand conduct monthly fire drills; however,there is no requirement that the plans berehearsed or ensure that faculty, staff andstudents are prepared in emergency sce-narios.“This is a bipartisan effort to make sure

our students, teachers and administratorsare fully aware of what to do if an emer-gency strikes. We practice fire drills andwe should practice emergency lockdowns

to ensure the safety of those who are a partof our educational system,” Kavulich said.“Pennsylvania is like a time-bomb

ticking,” Rep. Hackett stated during aLackawanna County press conference an-nouncing the proposed legislation. “WhatI mean is that there is currently a lack oftraining for our teachers and our studentsas to how to respond in an emergency.Compared to other states, Pennsylvania isbehind the times.”According to Hackett, students are 35

percent more likely to be part of a violentincident in schools than an active fire dur-ing the school day.“Less than one percent of incidents in-

volve fire in a schools across the state, butour schools are mandated to hold fire drillsonce a month,” he added.Kavuilich and Hackett are proposing

to reduce the number of required fire drillsand replace them with more “effective”lockdown drills.“Pennsylvania is not immune; it’s time

and it makes sense,” remarked Assis-tant District Attorney Eugene Talerico.“When that call comes in, wouldn’t it bebetter to know that we’ve planned for this,we’ve trained for this?”“It’s definitely time to update the law

to reflect the reality that we face in 2015,”said Michael Mahon, superintendent ofthe Abington Heights School District.
