Mistaken identities, confused motives, back-wards happenings and, yes, a happy ending.No, it is not the latest blockbuster to come

to theaters; instead, it is a story more than 420years old and is coming right to your back yard.Ghostlight Productions’ seventh-annual

Shakespeare in the Park performance, “TheComedy of Errors,” will be held from Friday-Sunday, May 29-31, and June 5-7, at SouthAbington Park, located off Northern Boulevard.Friday and Saturday evening performances willbegin at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday performanceswill begin at 2:30 p.m. All performances arefree and audience members are strongly urgedto bring lawnchairs or blankets for seating.Given the success — and highly tragic na-

ture — of last year’s performance of “Macbeth,”the troupe wanted to try its hand at somethingmore lighthearted and, as director Jeremy J.Kemmerer said, “The Comedy of Errors” wasthe perfect fit. The + revolves around a disas-trous sea voyage that separates two sets of twinsfrom their identical halves. Antipholus of Syra-cuse and his servant, Dromio, arrive at a circusin Ephesus and are immediately recognized bythe circus’s clowns, merchants, performers andsomeone who claims to be Antipholus’s wifebut Antipholus and Dromio have never beforeset foot in Ephesus. The duo, unbeknownst tothem, had been thrown into the lives of theirtwin counterparts and, adding to the confusion,they also share the same names, guaranteeingchaos will ensue.“Antipholus of Syracuse, makes the follow-

ing statement, ‘We wander here in illusion,’that statement became one around which thisshow developed,” Kemmerer said. “In think-ing about illusion, my mind was immediatelydrawn to pictures of carnivals and memories ofmagic tricks. The characters and audience, inthe course of the show, need to feel the tensionbetween illusion and reality. It seemed fittingthat our approach to this production was to setit in the Circus of Ephesus. This will hopefullybring a sense of showmanship and delight in a

park setting, just as much as it would in a circustent.”This year’s cast boasts both Ghostlight vet-

erans as well as newcomers and, as Kemmerersaid, the troupe’s productions are the only all-local performance of Shakespeare’s plays in thearea — from cast to crew to setting.“Shakespeare may be the first name that

comes to mind when someone thinks of theateror drama,” Kemmerer said. “Outdoor summertheatre and Shakespeare go hand-in-hand. To

be a part of an outdoor production of Shake-speare’s work is and should be a pinnacle experi-ence for an actor or director. People have toldus that they have started to look forward to ourproductions year after year. Being part of some-thing that is becoming or has become a com-munity event is a privilege. The fact that it is aproduction of Shakespeare is just the bonus atthe end of the day.”For more information on Shakespeare in the

Green SceneA column from the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commissionby Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

This spring has been very dry, whichhas significantly slowed grass growth. Be-cause many lawns are not lush, this hasallowed a forgotten salad staple to showits flower and stems. Yes, when added tosalads, dandelions are a valuable source ofvitamins A and C, aswell as minerals. This“weed” is such a goodkidney cleanser thatits wine was drunkeven by teetotlars.This medicine witha 1,000-year literaryhistory is excellentfor stimulating theliver and its sap ef-fectively eliminateswarts.Another weed

that “shines” rightin your eyes whenyour grass is flirt-ing with dormancyis the plantain. Thestringy flower of thenarrow leaf plantainprovides childrenwith fun in late sum-mer. My mom taughtme how to loop thestem around the flower and pull, ejectingthe flower like a cork from a pop gun. Thebroad leaf plantain also smothers the grasswithin its radius, leaving its rope-like seedstems looking like the last plant standingin your tired lawn. This aesthetic chal-lenge for your lawn is also valuable to yourhealth. Topically applied, it treats insectstings and helps remove splinters. Takeninternally as a salad, tea or supplement,plantain treats cholesterol, inflammationand respiratory and digestive issues.We dump poisons all around our homes

every year to eliminate these plants be-cause we are afraid the neighbors will thinkwe are not taking care of our lawn! The fol-lowing are some comments on alternativesto using herbicides to treat your “weeds.”1. Hand-weeding is labor intensive, but

it works to control single plants like dan-delions and plantains. A few years ago, mywife used a hand weeder to fill a bucketwith narrow-leaf plantains from our lawn.This small investment was successful andthe invaders have not returned. Periodical-ly, I have spent 15 minutes here and therepopping out their broadleaf cousins. This

population is now di-minished as well.2. The same

plants can be con-trolled by spot treat-ments of horticultur-al vinegar.3. Corn gluten

is supposed to work(95 percent controlin three or four yearsof spring and fall ap-plication) for manykinds of weeds. It isa pre-emergent anda nitrogen fertilizer,yielding beautiful,but costly, results.4. Growing thick,

high grass supposedlychokes out weeds,visually as much asanything. Here, pH,fertility and properwatering are key.

5. Dandelion season tends to be themost obvious weed display, but it is gen-erally limited to two weeks in the springand one week in the fall. Other than that,the plants are green and blend in from adistance.6. By the way, trees are broadleaf plants

and may be negatively affected by herbi-cides.So, there is no silver bullet for organic

weed control. But the trade-off for not us-ing herbicides is worth it.

by Dave LaurihaABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

While the season did not result in anytitles for the Lackawanna Trail baseballteam this spring, coach Todd Peters andhis Lions had plenty to be proud of.The Lions entered the District 2 Class

A playoffs as the top seed despite finish-ing second to Montrose, which capturedthe district’s Class AA title on Mon-day, in Division IV of the LackawannaLeague. Not too shabby for a team thatessentially did not get outdoors until itsfirst game.“We definitely felt great about accom-

plishing the feat of being the No. 1 seed,”Peters said. “We did talk about the factthat being the one seed meant that every-one would be playing at the top of theirgame to knock us off, which does bringadded pressure. We did not play our bestgame in our district playoff game. BlueRidge is a very good team, you can’t givegood teams extra outs, and they made thebest of their opportunities.”Blue Ridge went on to beat Forest City

for the district crown, leaving the Lionswondering what might have been. Butlooking back, Lackawanna Trail shouldbe proud of what it accomplished thisseason, dealing with the snowy winterwhich left fields unplayable for much ofthe practice time and into April.“The bad weather kept us in the gym

longer than we would have liked, buteveryone had the same problem,” Peterssaid. “The biggest concern for us was thatwe had a lot of key positions to replace,and with no exhibition games, it was hardfor us to see kids in different positions.”When the area’s baseball fields finally

became ready, schools had to find morepitching due to the compressed schedule,and the Lions were no different.“We played nine games in 12 days, so

it definitely took a toll,” Peters said. “Oneof the biggest problems with that is wehad no practice time. We could not ad-dress some of the problems that we sawduring those games and I don’t feel likewe were as prepared as we could have

been.“We tried to preserve our pitchers’

arms as best as we could but we still hadguys that were pretty sore.”The one good thing Peters saw from

his team was that the Lions always gave ittheir all. They always displayed the effortto win, something that isn’t always true,even for teams performing under normalplaying conditions.“I don’t think we ever performed to

our expectations. I feel like our defensenever quite reached the level we wouldhave liked,” Peters said. “The one thing Ican say about our team is we never gaveup. No matter what happened in thegame we never felt like we were out of it.We battled at the plate until the last out,and I am proud of our guys for that.”Extra practice time might have helped

senior Vic Mallory, who joined the teamjust this season but quickly became an in-

tegral part of the Lions success.“I was very happy with the perfor-

mance of Vic Mallory. Vic came out andplayed as a senior and did and exception-al job for us,” Peters said. “He was one ofour top pitchers, and did a great job forus in center field. Vic also moved to ourleadoff spot in the lineup and proved tobe a very tough out at the plate. I am curi-ous to see how good he could have beenif he had played from his freshman year.”Peters had lots to say about the rest

of the starting lineup, beginning withreturning senior starters Cooper Rosiak,Liam Dougherty, Jordan Hannon andJared Phillips.“Cooper did everything we asked him

to do. He pitched, caught, played short-stop, third base and outfield. He wasa tremendous asset for our team, and itspeaks volumes about his abilities to playso many positions for us.”

“Liam was our offensive leader (led theLions in almost all of our offensive cat-egories/ 19 hits, .388 batting average, 19runs, 20 RBI, 3 home runs). It seems likeevery time we brought him in to pitch thebases were loaded. He was our shortstopwhen he wasn’t pitching, and he was oneof the cornerstones of our team.”“Jordan (catcher) was our cleanup hit-

ter and one of the most feared hitters inthe league with his power.”“Jared was a true team player who

moved to the outfield from first base anddid a great job. He was one of our mostdangerous hitters with great power. Hewas one of the most productive offensiveplayers on the team.”Peters also had a pair of sophomores

returning to the lineup in Tyler Baltru-saitis and Thomas Huffsmith.“Tyler did a good job for us at second

base and came up with some key hits dur-ing the year,” Peters said. “Thomas wasprobably our best outfielder and showedsome really good flashes at the plate.”Senior Jason Guthrie and junior Nick

Rolka rounded out the starting lineupwhile Andrew Tassey added a spark intothe Lions whenever he played.“Jason did a good job for us at third

base and came up with some key hits dur-ing the year. He also proved to be an asseton the mound,” Peters said. “Nick did agood job for us at first base and came upwith some key hits during the year.“Andrew was probably our hardest

worker and earned his way into the line-up.”With Baltrusaitis, Huffsmith and Rol-

ka back next year, Peters will have peopleto build the team around, but will alsohave many needs.

We lose nine seniors which will bevery difficult to replace,” Peters said. “Wedo have some very good players returningbut we will be hoping for a good freshmanclass.”That team, like the others Peters has

coached at Lackawanna Trail, will havethe same goal: the Lions will do whateverit takes trying to improve upon and builton the success of their predecessors.

Presenting Mr. Mathewson

Legendary baseball player to be celebrated this weekend in Factoryville

by Stephanie LongoABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITORNo matter where you go in Factoryville,

Christy Mathewson’s spirit still lingers.Whether on the mural dedicated to his

memory in the borough’s downtown area or

in the park that bears his name, Mathewson’s

hometown is just as proud of “Bix Six” as he

was of it.This weekend, Factoryville will host its 18th

annual Christy Mathewson Days on Friday and

Saturday, Aug. 9-10, celebrating the baseball

hall of famer with a variety of events through-

out the downtown and at Keystone College, his

alma mater. Mathewson’s birthday would have

been on Aug. 12.One of this weekend’s events is a homecom-

ing of sorts for Mathewson as Eddie Frierson

takes the stage at the Theatre in Brooks at Key-

stone College for his one-man play, “Matty: An

Evening with Christy Mathewson.”Frierson explained that Mathewson became

more than just an picture on a baseball card

when he began to research his life.“It’s funny, because when I first stumbled

across Christy Mathewson, I thought that all I

had found was an interesting subject for a one-

man theatrical show that I was trying to devel-

op for myself,” he recalled. “The subject for the

one-man show developed me instead.”Frierson mentioned that Mathewson’s mod-

esty kept him from putting pen to paper and

writing his memoirs, telling his wife, Jane, that

they read to him like he was puffing out his

chest and strutting down Factoryville’s River-

side Drive. “Who wants to read that”? he said.

“Christy Mathewson was just a fellow from

a small borough,” Frierson said. “He never for-

got where he came from or the importance of

his family. He was no different than you or me,

other than being able to throw a baseball better

than most. He came from the same stock, had

the same values and the same work ethic.”

“Matty: An Evening with Christy Mathew-

son” focuses on retelling his life story from his

beginnings in Factoryville to his time with the

Cincinnati Reds and the New York Giants to

his untimely death from tuberculosis at age 45.

“It really is an evening with a wonderful

man,” Frierson said. “I think, by the end of the

night, when folks are actually asking Matty

questions, they feel that they have just met a

lifelong friend.”Tickets for “Matty: An Evening with Chris-

ty Mathewson” are $3; $2 for children younger

than 12. Call 945-8169 for tickets. Before and

after the play, Keystone College will open the

doors of the Gambal Gymnasium from noon to

10 p.m. to show their Christy Mathewson Col-

lection. An ice cream social, also at the Gam-

bal Gymnasium, will begin at 9 p.m.On Saturday, Aug. 10, the exhibit will run

from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration for the “One

Mile Fun Run” as well as the “Big 6K Run/

Walk’ will be held at Keystone College’s Col-

lege Green at 7:15 a.m. The “One Mile Fun

Run” will begin at 8 a.m. and the “Big 6K Run/

Walk” will begin at 8:30 a.m. Breakfast will fol-

low both events, courtesy of Keystone College,

at 9 a.m.The annual Christy Mathewson Day Parade

setup will begin at 4:30 p.m. at the main park-

ing lot at Keystone College. The parade will

step off at 5 p.m. and will proceed down Col-

lege Avenue and end at the Lackawanna Trail

Elementary Center. Following the parade, a

celebration will be held at Christy Mathewson

Park, located behind the Lackawanna Trail

Elementary Center. The celebration will in-

clude the presentation of parade awards, music,

games, food and raffles.For more information, visit www.keystone.

Brooks at Keystone College on Friday, Aug. 9, at 7:30 p.m.
