falling, and cars having difficulty making turns in the parking lot. We wanted to be more visible in the community and have a larger space, as well. She also said there were moisture problems in the building, which caused the floor to buckle. The flooring was installed in 2009 through a grant, and Luzerne County chose the contractor involved in the project. The center was a tenant at the 22 Rice St., Dallas location for about 25 years. The building was once the site of the Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction, and the surrounding grounds were used for firemens bazaars. Tim Carroll, owner of the building and borough mayor, said the agency must pay for the flooring because its installation was a violation of the lease. See SENIORS, Page 12

The Dallas Senior Center closed earlier this month due to safety and visibility concerns, and local seniors are worried another center wont come soon enough. Trula Hollywood, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming counties, said an issue with flooring posed safety concerns and would have been too expensive to fix. We vacated that building because of safety issues, she said. There were issues with possible
He said he was never notified that there was an issue with the former flooring and was surprised to see new flooring installed in 2009. He said it wasnt installed properly, which caused the linoleum flooring to bubble in areas. Carroll estimated it would cost about $4,800 to repair the floor. Carroll said he also was never told of any other problems within the building. He said other issues that were expressed to him were BILL TARUTIS/ FOR THE DALLAS POST promptly remedied.

The Back Mountain Community Partnership discussed how to proceed with its emergency management agency center at a meeting March 15 after receiving money from gaming funds. The partnership applied for a grant to renovate a former medical building on Route 118 in Lehman Township into a regional emergency management agency center. Dallas Fire & Ambulance Inc. purchased the building in 2010 with the hopes of eventually building a similar center. The project also includes the construction of a pole building on the 9-acre property. The space will be used for equipment and medical supply storage, partnership and other civic organization meetings, emergency responder training, sleeping quarters for evacuees and a control center for the Back Mountain Regional Emergency Management Agency. Joe Chacke of NEPA Alliance said the partnership must decide whether its plans to scale back on the project or attempt to secure other funding for the project. The group initially requested $1.2 million for the project but received $975,000. Chacke said the partnership could choose to scale back the facilitys plans or find funding elsewhere. Chairman James Reino Jr. said the partnership has many options, but wanted to discuss the issue with members of Dallas Fire & Ambulance Inc., the buildings owner, before making a decision. The partnership also heard from Roger Heydt of Central Tax/Don Wilkinson Agency, who presented ways officials can research whether an address is located

within, and paying proper taxes to, a municipality. He said the passage of Act 32 will help remedy some of those concerns, but public websites allow officials to double-check residents addresses. Reino said the municipalities want a workable electronic document to check addresses against the information they find through personal research. Heydt said its possible to provide that information, but the method would need to be approved by the Tax Collection Committee. The partnership also approved a motion to send a letter to local legislators to support state House bills 1329 and 1685 related to changing the prevailing wage laws. The current prevailing wage law, passed in 1961, requires that workers on government projects exceeding $25,000 be paid a rate set by the state secretary of labor and industry rather than a number based on local market rates. House Bill 1329 would set the project rate at $185,000 to correspond with market inflation. House Bill 1685 would require the secretary of labor and industry to develop a uniform list of worker classifications. Reino said the current law covers most projects within townships, which can cause financial hardships. The next Back Mountain Community Partnership meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 19 in the Sandy & Marlene Insalaco Hall at Misericordia University, 301 Lake St., Dallas Township.

WORKING TOGETHER

CHALLENGE WINNERS
First place - Nelson Family, 203 pennies Second place - Motley Family, 131 pennies Third place - Sutzko Family, 112 pennies
The crunching sound of metallic foil moving in all directions marked the first-ever Family Science Challenge at Wycallis Elementary on March 8. Seventy-three families, or 295 people, raced to see who could plan and create a float that could hold the most pennies using aluminum foil and plastic straws in an hour. Nicole Valkenburg, fourthgrade teacher and elementary science coordinator, found information about the program through the National Science Teachers Association and contacted the founding teacher to see how to get started. It was an article about doing something like this with a class, something simple, she said. I brought it up to the Parent-Teacher Organization president to do this as a family event and I was shocked by the response 20 families wanted to participate by then. The project was kept a secret until the night of the event, and families chatted nervously in anticipation for the task at hand. Diane Pocono, of Shavertown, worked with her two daughters

and husband on the simple science project. I think this was a great idea what a turn out, she said of the crowded cafeteria. She said 9-year-old Shelby raced home with the permission slip in hand and begged her mother to participate. I love science and I love creating stuff, said Shelby Pocono. The Nelson familys float heavily depended on the skills of Marcia, the Nelson boys grandmother, during the event. She struggled to twist the foil around the straws as young Dominic Nelson Palmatier looked on. She cooks at home and uses a lot of aluminum foil, so I thought she would be good at this, joked Marcia Nelsons husband, George. I expect to win. And they did. Their float held the most pennies of the night 203. Leigh McGlynn, of Shavertown, took her son Casey to the

science challenge not expecting to win, but to spend more time together. We dont get to do things like this too often, said McGlynn. Its nice to have new activities and to have fun. The Redmond family quickly got to work once the instructions were revealed. Bob Redmond toyed with the straws as his children, Samantha and R.J., drew up plans for their float. Its about buoyancy and weight distribution, but I wont say anything else, said Bob Redmond as he kept his plans secret. Tracie Redmond, the matriarch of the family, was the brains of the
operation while her husband was the brawn. My husband loves this he loves any type of challenge, she said. Wycallis principal Dr. Paul Reinert walked around the cafeteria, observing families projects. This helps the parents understand what engaging learning is all about, he said. This is a great use of the community building and kids get to spend time with their parents. Its great stuff. Valkenburg hopes it will become an annual event. In this bad economy, its nice to have free things like this to do, she said.

Despite parents requests, the Lake-Lehman School Board will not make changes to this years academic schedule. A resolution to change the 2011-12 calendar was printed on the agenda for Mondays meeting, but Superintendent James McGovern said it was removed from the recommended action list because of a lack of board support. The graduation date is set for June13, seven days after the last day of school. The date is often further from the last day of school in case there is need to add extra days to the calendar for snow and other cancellations throughout the year. For example, the 2012-13 calendar approved on Monday evening sets June 3 as the last day of school and June 7 as graduation. McGovern said if there arent any snow days, the date could be changed next year. Parent Amy Spess said the 2011-12 graduation date should be moved to June 6 to correspond with students schedules. McGovern said there were several issues at hand, from students families making plans to the cost of transporting kids to and from graduation practices throughout the week. He also said theres a chance the weeklong break in between the dates could affect graduation attendance. He said he never expected the winter to be as mild as it was after the two tropical storms that delayed the start of school a week in late August and early September. The school calendar had enough days scheduled to make up for this occurrence. McGovern said the issue would have to have been voted

on Monday because a graduation date change in April would be too short of a notice for students families. McGovern also announced a Vera Bradley bingo event that was set for March 24 at the high school. Vera Bradley handbags were to be chanced off during the event, which benefits the Last Knight Lock-In. McGovern said if $5,000 is raised, he will shave his head. I want everybody to go, but not really, he said, laughing. He also acknowledged the following students for winning awards in the 31st Rossetti Art Competition at Luzerne County Community College: Kristen Boyle won the Bradford Award for Excellence, Cayle Spencer won the Award for Acrylic, Danae Sutliffe won two Bristle Brush Awards for Detail and the Rosemary Engle Memorial Award, Sela Fine won the Award for Excellence in Landscape; Callie Grey won the Triple Blue Society Award for Creativity, the Award for Best Use of Color in Water Media and a $250 Senior Art Scholarship, Austin Shultz won the Swetland Insurance Agency Award for Excellence, Hanna Cross won the George Fillman Memorial Award

Lake Township supervisors addressed water run-off and junk car problems while appointing a deputy emergency management coordinator at their monthly meeting March 19. Last week, supervisors were notified about storm water runoff crossing county-owned Main Road and flooding a residents property and home, as well as flowing into Maple Grove Cemetery. In an effort to resolve the issue, a meeting has been scheduled for April 11 with State Representative Karen Boback (RHarveys Lake), the county engineer and other officials to determine the best solution for the problem, Supervisor Amy Salansky said. See BOOTH, Page 12
The area will need some sort of drainage system, Salansky said. It is a low spot. Supervisors authorized Mark McNealis, township attorney, to send a registered letter to property owners of 171 Maple Tree Rd., regarding several junk cars on the property. Salansky said the township ordinance states a property should not have more than two unregistered vehicles at a time. When asked the amount of vehicles on the property, Salansky said there are more than two and it is unsightly. In other news, Gary Booth was unanimously appointed Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator to represent Lake Township in the Back Mountain Emergency Management Agency. The Back Mountain EMA is

The LifeSmarts program is true to its name. Students in grades nine through 12 learn tidbits of information in five different categories related to consumer affairs personal finance, consumer rights and responsibilities, health and safety, technology and the environment that can help them when they want to do things like set up a retirement account or fix a computer. In other words, students dont gain book smarts or street smarts from the program run by the Na-
tional Consumers League they learn life smarts. But the Dallas High School team might be more prepared than most young people to take on those tasks the team recently won first place in the state LifeSmarts competition and will compete in nationals for the third time. Five team members Gates Palissery, Amber Habib, Sara Hudak, Samuel Reinert and team captain Decklan Cerza will attend the national competition April 21-24 in Philadelphia. Kevin West, LifeSmarts team coach, said its very exciting to have the team represent Pennsylvania at the national event in
their home state. Two years ago we went to nationals in Miami, Florida, he said. In 2010, the team placed 10th out of 32 teams across the nation. The team also traveled to Orlando, Fla. in 2003 and placed third in the country. West said the team won at the states this year without being able to size up the competition. Although usually held in Harrisburg through the state Office of the Attorney General Bureau of Consumer Protection, this years state competition was held online this year due to lack of funds for the program, West said. The state competition involves nine of the top-scoring teams
from across the state. The students couldnt see who their competitors were, but managed to still finish on top. West quizzes the students with questions that have been previously asked, but students know the difference between memorizing the questions and learning the principles behind them. There are questions that are similar, like with the cooling off rule in which you can cancel purchases three days after making them if you were under emotional distress, said Palissery, 17, of Dallas. Theyll ask you how many days do you have to cancel

Application of the existing fire ordinance was a topic at Tuesday nights meeting of the supervisors. Chris Vincelli, Elmcrest Park developer, wants to utilize a controlled fire to clear land within that development, but is unsure if the idea falls under the exceptions of the ordinance. Solicitor Thomas Brennan wants to consult with zoning officer Carl Alber before making a final determination on the matter. Supervisor Frank Wagner cautioned that, even if controlled fire is approved, the fire department is required to be present to insure safety. The supervisors approved a UGI Energy services contract for April to March 2013 applies to all township buildings, which delineates a lock-in price over the term of the contract. The supervisors also ap-
proved a resolution that will limit the townships responsibility for mail boxes damaged by township snowplows. Wagner said, PennDOT doesnt do it, and neither will we. The board also discussed at length a natural gas compressor station and metering station scheduled to be installed within the township later this year. Supervisors expressed concern at the increased noise that such installations would cause. Tom Doughton, township engineer, said he will look into gathering a baseline noise level at the site of the compressors before they are functional so that noise regulations can be more easily enforced in the future. The board also noted that attorney Gregory Szallar, representing Acacia Services LLC, requested a postponement of a hearing for approval of an intermunicipal transfer of a liquor license and that the rescheduled hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3.
a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the municipal building at 25 Main St. The following fee schedule was approved: cars, small and mid-size SUVs and minivans must purchase a $10 coupon for unlimited entry; small pick-up trucks and full-size and large SUVs must purchase a $15 for each entry; full-size pick-up trucks, utility trailers and cargo vans less than one ton must purchase a $25 coupon for each entry; and large vehicles weighing more than one ton must purchase a $90 coupon for a one entry limit. Bulky furniture and large appliances will require an additional fee of $5 per item. A limited number of commercial tires will be accepted and require an additional fee of $3 per tire. Electronics are not accepted. Council awarded a bid for waste containers to be utilized at the spring cleanup to Stell Enterprises Inc., of Plains Township, for the bid amount of $485 per 40yard container used and a hauling charge of $150 per unused container. Council also approved rules and set the date for the curbside yard waste collection program in the borough, which will begin the week of May 14, weather permitting. A $25 permit fee is required, which allows residents to have the equivalent of two 25-gallon recycling containers of yard waste collected weekly through-
out the program. Council authorized the borough manager to submit an application for a special events permit to the state Department of Transportation for the annual DaddowIsaacs American Legion Post 672 Memorial Day parade set for 9 to 11 a.m. on May 28 with a rain date of June 2.

MOMENTS IN TIME
By Samantha Weaver It was Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw who made the following sage observation: A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. Were all familiar with the act of CPR - we often see a film or television character come to the rescue and save a life using the technique. And on TV, according to a recent study, CPR is shown as being successful 75 percent of the time. The reality is not quite so rosy, though. A study conducted in 2010 found that when CPR is used in real life, only about 8 percent of the patients were still alive after one month. Of those who did survive that long, 97 percent couldnt live a normal life. Do you suffer from astraphobia? If so, I hope you dont live in Florida. Those who are afraid of lightning would be terrified in the Sunshine State, especially in Tampa, known as the lightning capital of the world. Researchers in the United Kingdom have invented a robot that eats slugs and is powered by the gas from the decaying creatures. They have dubbed their creation the SlugBot. For six generations, many members of the Fugate family of the Appalachian region of Kentucky have suffered from a rare blood disorder called methemoglobinemia. The disorder seems to have no adverse health effects, but its not at all difficult to diagnose it at a glance: Sufferers have blue skin. Not just a slight tinge, either; various family members have been described as blue as Lake Louise, the bluest woman I ever saw and almost purple.
The Lake-Lehman Football Club is sponsored a fashion show in the High School Auditorium. Thirty-five football players and cheerleaders modeled sportswear from the Field House in Dallas, casual wear from Fashion Bug, and prom ONLY dresses YESTERDAY and tuxedos from U.S. Tuxedo and Kathys Bridal Boutique. Amongst the models were sophomores Larry Lucarino, Bob Sayre and Bobby Lamoreaux. Colton Lee Spencer, 2 year old son of Samuel and Samantha Spencer of Dallas, recently received a trophy and a medal as prizes for the title of first runner up in the 1992 Regional Hemisphere Pageant held at the West Side Mall. Colton is the grandson of Thomas and Sally Walter, Dallas, Howard Naparsteck, Wilkes-Barre, and John Spencer, Dallas.

A shooting eye made keen by years of hunting in the deep woods back of Harveys Lake won high honors last week for Private Elwood W. Davis, son of Squire and Mrs. Ralph Davis of Alderson. The 25-year-old Marine recruit, who has gone out after deer and other game with his father since he was old enough to hold a gun straight, was high man in rifle and pistol last week among 500 other trainees on the range at Paris Island, Marine Corps training base. For a woman who used to think nothing of entertaining a thousand people at a time, the affairs of a country club ought to be a fairly simple proposition. At least thats what officials of the Irem figured week before last when they appointed Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, former chief home economist for the Pennsylvania Power and Light Corporation, to replace Carl Schlingman as manager of the palatial Irem temple Country Club here in Dallas. Information for Only Yesterday is taken from past issues of The Dallas Post which is 122 years old. The information is printed here exactly as it appeared in the newspaper years ago.

James Flores, 14, of Shavertown, has enjoyed an early start to the golf season. And the season got even better when he made his first hole in one on the par 3, number 17 at Irem Country Club on March 15. Flores was playing the back nine with his mother when he teed off at the hole. He thought it was a pretty good shot, but when he got to the green, he was disappointed when he couldnt find his ball. He then discovered the reason he couldnt find his ball was because it was in the hole. Flores has played golf since he was 11 years old and is a member of the Dallas High School Golf team and a member at Irem Country Club.

Now seniors are left to attend centers in other communities, including Edwardsville, Kingston and Tunkhannock, until a new senior center can be secured in Dallas. Alfreda Susie Malak, of Dallas, said a main concern for her senior center friends is traveling costs. She said some locals who attended lunch at the senior center every day are now going to other centers just once a week. Now we go to Edwardsville, but a lot of the older people dont want to go down the highway and get into the traffic, she said. Some people, with the cost of gas, arent coming to get their meals and might spend it on Burger King instead. Senior centers offer a hot meal for registered seniors every day for $2. Malak, 69, said with the other locations anywhere from eight to 18 miles away, the costs of traveling could put a dent in the budgets of people living on fixed incomes. Its like a stake in the heart, said Malak. Shirley McDonald, 85, said some of the older center attendees just cant make the trip. She said county buses will only travel a certain distance so the close group of about 30 seniors keep in touch in

people, she said. We do things any which way to make them feel at home. Malak hopes a new center in Dallas will be available soon. Hollywood said the bidding process is just beginning and may take months to complete. I told them, Dont forget about us, Malak said. We need our own place.

the purchase, what is the cooling off rule, and others. You have to know the material. Palissery said she was roped into the group through West, who was her homeroom teacher a few years ago. She said the information is practical she has a job now and has a better understanding of paying taxes. Its things Ill remember for the rest of my life, she said. Its useful. Cerza, 16, of Dallas, said LifeSmarts is fun because of its competitive aspect. I do Science Olympiad, too, he said. I like competing when it comes to academics. Cerza said the knowledge hes gained from LifeSmarts is information used in real life, not just something he read in a textbook. My parents told me they
didnt even know some of the things (Ive learned), he said. Though there are about 20 people in the LifeSmarts club, five are weeded out through inhouse competitions to see who will perform at the state level. This years group is the youngest in recent memory, said West, with most being freshmen or sophomores. The only state competition veteran is Sara Hudak, 15, of Dallas, who advanced to the final group in her freshman year. She said the experience was terrifying, but she admits her LifeSmarts skills are what got her to that point. I was nervous last year because the seniors were so great, but I guess Im pretty good at it, too, she said. Im really proud to be a part of a group that made it this far. During their Philadelphia trip, the students will also tour the city and attend various shows, including Freedom Rising at the National Constitution Center.

projects, including paving, were cut as a result of financial hardship, Reino said. The board even voted last year to enact the local services tax and increased taxes slightly to generate extra funds for the township. Board member Frank Natitus said the board looked into changing the township administration after assistant manager Robert Hivish Jr. resigned earlier this month, reporting the board
wouldnt have made the changes otherwise. Now we can try and strike a different situation, and itll work itself out, he said. The board also voted to authorize the township manager to seek requests for proposals for lawn maintenance services for condemned or vacant properties. The board approved a natural gas sales agreement with UGI Energy Services, Inc. with a new rate. Reino abstained from the vote, as he is employed by UGI. Also, a township Easter egg hunt will be held at 1 p.m. on April 7 at the township recreational field.
