The

December 30 - January 5, 2012
WILKES-BARRE, PA.
For the second year in a row,
hurricane winds descended on
the Back Mountain, causing
widespread damage and power
outages for many residents. In
Harveys Lake, a bitter dispute
about whether or not tomove the
boroughs police department was
part of almost every meeting in
that boroughfor nearlyayear and
the termination of a legendary
highschool football coachhadev-
eryone in town talking.
Heres a month-by-month look
at life in the Back Mountain dur-
ing the year 2012:
JANUARY
The Knights of the Round Ta-
ble programgeared up for its sec-
ond year in the Lake-Lehman
School District. The program
startedlast year as a waytohonor
Lake-Lehman alums and present
students with examples of local
leaders.
Lake-Lehman High School stu-
dents took friends, family and fel-
low classmates on a culinary trip
around the world. The humani-
ties students participated in an
international dinner as part of a
class project in which they creat-
ed a menu, assembled costumes
and performed a skit to represent
their choice of country.
Out of more than 900 entries,
Wycallis Elementary fifth-grader
Emily Bogdon was one of 22 stu-
dents in the state to win the state
Department of Transportation
Aviation Art Contest. Bogdons
drawing depicted a girl holding a
paper airplane as a real aviation
craft flewabove her. Bogdon said
her father helped her develop the
idea for the drawing.
Harveys Lake Borough Coun-
cil adopted a $1,313,525 budget
for 2012 without raising taxes. In-
stead, council members voted to
forego their monthly stipends for
the year to help eliminate a def-
icit. The seven council members
are paid a total of $13,105 a year.
Liz Martin was sworn in as a
Dallas Township supervisor and
was appointed vice chairman of
the board of supervisors.
Charles Youngman was sworn
in as a first-time council member
in Dallas Borough while Lee Eck-
ert and Chris Matus were sworn
in for another term.
Kelly Martin Johnson, of
Trucksville, replaced Mary Jo
Hromchak as head coach of the
Dallas High School girls basket-
ball team and Doug Miller, of
Exeter, was named head coach of
the Mountaineers boys basket-
ball teamafter Ted Jackson Jr. re-
signed in November fromthe po-
sitionhe hadheldfor sevenyears.
The Dallas School Board dis-
cussed an expansion of the high
school schedule that would allow
students to take onextra courses.
Superintendent Frank Galicki
said the board was considering
switching from the four-period
block-style schedule to a five-pe-
riod schedule.
Chief Gathering LLC won an
appeal to the Dallas Township
Zoning Hearing Board for the
modification of one of the condi-
tions theboardstipulatedwhenit
approved the companys applica-
tion for a natural gas metering
station in December. The condi-
tion Chief appealed, which was
oneof sevenpostedtothecompa-
nys project, involved the con-
struction and maintenance of a 6-
foot high fence with barbed wire
to be no less than 315 feet at all
points surrounding the metering
facility.
Friendlys restaurant, located
at the intersection of Routes 309
and415, closedits doors onJan. 8
after 26 years in business
Rick Connors, of Bunker Hill
Road, used over 18,000 lights to
complete his holiday presenta-
tion and was awarded first place
in the Kingston Township Holi-
day House Contest.
Bill Grant, a 26-year resident of
Dallas Township, was named to
the board of supervisors, joining
Liz Martin and Frank Wagner.
The third seat on the board was
left vacant in December when
longtime supervisor Phil Walter
abruptly resigned.
A natural gas metering station
would be located in Dallas Town-
ship as the zoning hearing board
approved Williams Field Service
LLCs request to build a facility
off Lower Demunds Road. Thefa-
cility, opposed by several local
residents, would be located on
4.29 acres about 2682 feet from
the Dallas School District cam-
pus.
FEBRUARY
The Dallas School Boardvoted
to keep the position of head foot-
ball coach open. The vote came
two days after a lengthy hearing
for former coach Ted Jackson Sr.
Students on the Wilkes-Barre
campus of Penn State University
in Lehman Township were
mourningthe loss of one of their
own after the recent passing of
longtime football coach Joe Pa-
terno of lung cancer.
Jeff Box was sworn in a for a
third termas Kingston Township
supervisor but the appointment
was a bit unexpected. Box didnt
run for re-election in 2011 not
even in the primary. He won the
seat left vacant by former super-
visor John Solinsky after resi-
dents wrote his name on the bal-
lot more than anyone elses mo-
niker.
Lake Townwship was gearing
up to become a member of the
Back Mountain Community
Partnership as members dis-
cussed the townships inclusion
at a meeting.
Less thana monthafter leaving
a career she held for 271/2 years,
Marilyn Gregorski admitted she
would be back at The Meadows
Nursing Center in Dallas Town-
ship. She had been asked to help
with Market on the Pond, the
centers largest fundraising
event. The 71-year--old doesnt
like the wordretirement andre-
ferred to her recent departure
from her position as director of
volunteers at the nursing center
as a leap of faith.
Teachers in the Lake-Lehman
School District adopted dress
down days and paid $5 to wear
less formattire toworkevery oth-
er Wednesday with the money
funding book scholarships for
graduating seniors as well as
school functions such as the Last
Knight Lock-In. Language arts
teacher Cathy Wolfe started the
program as a way to wear com-
fortable clothing to work while
also paying homage to former
Lake-Lehmanemployees andstu-
dents. Each dress down day hon-
ors a deceased member of the
Lake-Lehman family.
After more than 20 years of re-
maining anonymous, Sue Hand,
of Dallas, admitted to being the
PhantomValentiner whosecretly
taped paper hearts on doors of
Dallas businesses with the help
of her family.
Longtime Dallas High School
football coach Ted Jackson Sr.
saw his career ended when the
school board voted 7-2 to hire
Robert Zaruta as the head coach
for the 2012-2013 season.
Kingston Township supervi-
sors adopted an updated compre-
hensive plan. After several years
of working with consulting firms
and the planning commission,
the board of supervisors adopted
a final version of the townships
comprehensive plan.
Eleven-month-old Mia Ellis
sawher father for just the second
time in her young life when Den-
nis Ellis, of Dallas, a corporal in
the U.S. Marine Corps flewhome
after a yearlong deployment in
Afghanistan. Four generations of
the Ellis family, as well as close
friends, were at the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International
Airport to welcome home their
favorite military man.
To honor the memory of Tho-
mas E. Lynch, 18, of Harveys
Lake, a senior at Dallas High
School who died from injuries
sustained in a motor vehicle acci-
dent in Dallas Township, the
Thomas Lynch Scout Scholar-
ship Fund was created to provide
financial assistance to current
and future Boy Scouts.
Twenty-two-year-old Beth Ca-
rey, of Dallas, participated in the
PennStateTHONfor theseventh
time. THONis a dance marathon
that raises money for the pediat-
ric cancer support organization,
the Four Diamonds Fund, associ-
atedwiththe PennState Hershey
Childrens Hospital. Carey
danced with the Womens Club
Basketball the same organiza-
tion that danced in her honor
when she was a 15-year-old bat-
tlingnon-Hodgkins lymphoma, a
type of cancer that affects the
lymph glands and bone marrow.
Elementary sports in the Lake-
Lehman School District were
suspended following an alterca-
tion between two Ross Elemen-
tary fifth and sixth-grade boys
basketball coaches that escalated
to a point of concern. Superin-
tendent James McGovern was
satisfied with the league presi-
dents decision as to what action
to take against the adults respon-
sible but would not provide de-
tails. He said the league would al-
so develop a parents guide,
coaches guide and a mission for
the program.
MARCH
Due to overwhelming vol-
umes, the Dallas Area Municipal
Authority increased its recycling
collection to every two weeks.
Larry Spaciano, executive direc-
tor of DAMA, attributed the in-
crease in recycling collection to
the authoritys newsingle stream
recycling program. Customers
no longer had to seaprate materi-
als like plastic, glass and card-
board, making recycling easier
than ever.
The rivalry between the Dallas
and Lake-Lehman high school
swimming and diving teams got
a little friendlier than one might
think. The Lake-Lehman team,
which started competing in the
Wyoming Valley Conference in
2007, entered into an agreement
with Dallas this year to utilize its
pool for home meets.

Dallas Township received no-
tice from the Williams-owned
Transco interstate pipeline that
two replacements of the line
would begin in July and conclude
in mid-September. Transco
would replace a 2,044-foot sec-
tion that runs underneath Hilde-
brandt Road and a 193-foot sec-
tion that runs between Yalick
Road and Highland Boulevard.
Though the Dallas Township
Police Departments monitoring
of seatbelts among minors was
ending, Chief Robert Jolley said
officers would still patrol around
the Dallas School District cam-
pus. The department began pa-
trolling the district campus in
February toenforce aspects of La-
ceys Law, which was signed into
law late last year. Laceys Law
states that drivers under the age
of 18 can be cited for not wearing
a seatbelt. For adults, not wear-
ing a seatbelt is a secondary of-
fense.
Nine-year-oldJackFarrell, who
played for the Knights in the Dal-
las Youth Basketball League, had
a whopper of a game. His team
won, 44-39, in the semi-finals
against the Celtics and Farrell
scored all 44 winning points. The
Dallas Elementary School stu-
dents father, Mark, played ball in
highschool andcollege andremi-
nisced about the time he scored
34 points onhis ownwhenDallas
High School advanced to the dis-
trict championships in 1985.
The state Department of
Transportation completed re-
pairs on the Overbrook Road
overpass earlier than initially ex-
pected. Concrete coveringbeams
underneath the 72-year-old
bridge fell onto Route 309 and
the agency had planed to close a
portion of Route 309 at night for
twoweeks toconduct the repairs.
All the loose concrete was re-
moved from underneath the
bridge and replaced within a 10-
hour period.
ADallas Township supervisors
meeting ended with the town-
ships two fire companies ex-
changingheatedwords about dis-
puted territories. Dallas Fire and
Ambulance addressed the board
about contested boundaries
withinthe townshipafter twofor-
mer supervisors did not approve
suggestions madebyboththefire
companies and Luzerne County
911.
Local governments and the
Dallas School District were still
footing the bill for the D.A.R.E.
(Drug Abuse Resistance Educa-
tion) program in the Dallas ele-
mentary and middle schools,
though costs have increased in
difficult economic times. The
year, the cost of maintaining the
D.A.R.E. program at Dallas in-
creased by nearly 25 percent, a
cost sharedbythedistrict andthe
municipalities located within the
district, which include Dallas
Borough and Dallas, Franklin
and Kingston townships.
The Dallas School Board ap-
proved changes to course offer-
ings at the high school and mid-
dle school for the 2012-13 school
year. At the high school, major
changes included the addition of
several classes to accommodate
the opportunities made available
since the completion of the new
highschool buildinglast Septem-
ber. At the middle school, twofor-
eign language courses offered in
eighth grade conversational
French and introductory French
would be eliminated.
With a new executive director,
the month-old Back Mountain
Chamber of Commerce was
growing membership and gain-
ing a strong foothold in the Back
Mountain community and be-
yond. Clare Parkhurst, owner of
Black Sheep Advertising in
Trucksville, was hired as the
chambers part-time executive di-
rector.
Two municipalities in the Back
Mountain were awarded grant
money from gaming fund reve-
nues for projects that would ben-
efit the entire community. One of
the big-ticket items to receive
funding was the Back Mountain
Community Partnerships plans
for a regional emergency man-
agement canter was $975,000
was allocated toward that pro-
ject. Harveys Lake Borough re-
ceived $78,220 to renovate an un-
used recreation center for police
department use. Council Presi-
dent Larry Radel said no solid
plans had been put into place for
the project and there were no
plans to pursue it if the grant
money had not been awarded.
The Kingston Township Board
of Supervisors voted to join the
Back Mountain Regional Emer-
gency Management Agency. The
agency, which also includes Dal-
las Borough and Dallas, Jackson
and Lehman townships, was cre-
ated in late 2010 as a formal
agreement between emergency
responders to work together in
the event of emergencies.
The Dallas Senior Center
closed due to safety and visibility
concerns and local seniors were
worried another center wouldnt
come soon enough. 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 MountainMemo-
rial Library Auction and the sur-
rounding grounds were used for
firemens bazaars.
Despite parents requests, the
Lake-Lehman School Board
would not make changes to this
years academic schedule. Areso-
lutiontochange the calendar was
printed on the agenda for a board
meeting but Superintendent
James McGovern said it was re-
moved form the recommended
action list because of a lack of
board support.
Gary Booth was unanimously
appointed Deputy Emergency
Management Coordinator to rep-
resent Lake Township in the
Back Mountain Emergency Man-
agement Agency.
APRIL
The Dallas Post fooled its read-
ers with an April Fools edition
announcing that former Indiana-
polis Colts quarterback Peyton
Manning wouldtake his career to
a new level by traveling east to
Misericordia University where
he would play in the Cougars
first Division III football season.
Back Mountain emergency re-
sponders gave the new Luzerne
County administration two
weeks to resolve an ongoing dis-
pute with county 911 officials be-
fore bringing things to a head
with county council. Emergency
responders from seven Back
Mountain communities attended
a press conference called by Har-
veys Lake Borough officials to
make the public aware of prob-
lems they were havingwithcoun-
ty 911 dispatch protocols.
Andrew Duda, of Grasonville,
Md., announced his hopes to pre-
serve 17 undeveloped lots on
Pineview Road that were owned
by his recently-deceased brother,
Paul, by creating a wildlife sanc-
tuary that could be maintained
by the community.
The Dallas Township Board of
Supervisors mulled the purchase
of emergency notification soft-
ware to update residents during
emergency situations. Alan
Pugh, township emergency man-
agement coordinator, spoke
about the Wireless Emergency
Notification system(WENS) at a
work session.
The Back Mountain Chamber
of Commerce held its first busi-
ness mixer at Eye Care Special-
ists in Dallas. More than100 peo-
ple attended the event which was
held to celebrate the opening of
the new Eye Care Specialists of-
fice in the Dallas Shopping Cen-
ter.
Members of Harveys Lake Bor-
ough Council expressed con-
cerns about plans to relocate the
police department to Little
League Road and a public hear-
ing was scheduled to further dis-
cuss the issue. The borough re-
ceive a $78,200 grant from gam-
ingfundrevenues tomovethepo-
lice department from its current
location on Route 415 to a former
recreation building on Little
League Roadnear the public boat

It was Albert Einstein who offered the following explanation of

like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a min-

In Singapore, one of the colorful customs is training birds for
singing competitions. Its not always just a hobby, though; for some,
its a serious - and costly - business. A single well-trained bird might
sell for as much as $60,000.
If youre an oenophile - thats an aficionado of wine - you prob-
ably wont be surprised to learn that as the cost of a wine goes up, so
does a drinkers appreciation of that wine. It seems that its not all
about the quality of the vintage, though: In a recent study, tasters
were offered two samples of the same wine, but each sample was
labeled with a different price. The tasters overwhelmingly preferred
the more expensive vintage.
Only one-fifth of homes in America are not air-conditioned. In

Those who study such things say that the wind power in an

Many people see dogs as doing heroic work in tandem with law
