Phantom Valentiner is revealed

After more than 20 years, the infamous Valentine Phantom who left giant paper hearts with uplifting messages all over Dallas Borough businesses is ready to be unmasked. Heres the real surprise there was more than one phantom. Sue Hand, lifelong borough resident, business owner and artist, and members of her family Joe Hand, Sues husband, Heather Madeira, Sues daughter, and Tim Madeira, Sues sonin-law - are responsible for those hearts that adorned storefronts CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST in the early 1990s. For three years, the Hands and After more than 20 years of remaining anonymous, Sue Hand, of Madeiras plotted their routes Dallas, has admitted to being the Phantom Valentiner who secretly taped hearts like this on doors of Dallas businesses with and stuck handwritten Valenthe help of her family. Hand says her sentiments are still the tines that said, Thank you for same. serving Dallas You are loved! on various businesses through- See PHANTOM, Page 10 out the borough between the hours of 1 and 3 a.m. Hand said she had to contact Jack Fowler, Dallas Borough police chief at the time, to determine the legality of what they were attempting to do. We only put it on business doorways so we wouldnt go on private property, she said. Though it was private business property, they were open to the public. Hand got the idea from a magazine article about one of her favorite places Maine. They had an article, just a little thing, on the Valentine Phantom in Portland, Maine, she said. And every year, Portland, Maine was festooned with pink hearts on Valentines Day and somebody did it overnight. The first appearance of a Valentine Phantom in Portland,

A Back Mountain resident recently sent plenty of love to the furry friends who live at the SPCA of Luzerne County. Melissa Berti, of Dallas, celebrated her 40th birthday with a bang, but asked for donations to the local animal shelter instead of gifts to make the celebration extra special. Ive always loved animals, said Berti. Ive been fundraising for the SPCA for over 20 years. Guests brought bags of dog food, boxes of cleaning supplies and cards with monetary donations to Bertis birthday bash on Feb. 4 at the Yalick Farms Clubhouse in Dallas Township. The decked-out pink fete featured feather boas for a $5 donation and a poster of some of the animals up for adoption at the shelter. Personally, this is the first time Ive ever seen someone do something like this, said Cary Moran, education and volunteer director at the SPCA of Luzerne County. Moran was on standby to collect the donated items and tell guests more about the shelters needs and how the gifts helped. This helps tremendously with outreach, said Moran. It really shows that people care - it means a lot that people care this much. Moran said there are currently between 75 and 100 animals at the shelter. Despite the economy, she reported the organization was able to keep its head above water last year. But when the economys down, our bills go up, too, she said. That makes things more imperative. Local auctioneer Steve Traver, a guest of Bertis, thought the donations were a great idea. Melissas birthdays are always a big deal, he said. What a great idea. Weve got eight or nine cats and

Big changes are in store for the Dallas School District for the 2012-2013 school year, including the appointment of a new head football coach and a tentative new high school schedule. Long-time Dallas High School football coach Ted Jackson had his career ended Monday night when the school board voted 7-2 to hire Robert Zaruta as the head coach for the 2012-2013 season. School board members Dr. Bruce Goeringer and Fred Parry sided with parents and students to keep Jackson as head coach. Board members Dr. Richard Coslett, Charles Preece, Maureen Matiska, Catherine Wega, Colleen Slocum, Larry Schuler and Karen Kyle voted to appoint Zaruta. This administration is the only check and balances, Goeringer said. Let the man finish what he started. Parry said he first voted not to renew Jacksons employment as coach, but after listening to testimony presented at a due proc- See ERA, Page 10

ess hearing and to students, he felt just cause for not renewing Jacksons contract was not provided. We are making a big mistake, Parry said. A standing-room only crowd of parents and students filled the meeting room in support of Jackson. Trucksville resident Jim Wisnieski said he is aware of players who had family issues and Jackson would lend his ear. Coach Jackson is a good coach, he said. I ask you to remove the politics and personal biases when making this decision to retain Coach Jackson. While several parents and football players took turns at the podium to express concerns and support of Jackson, Superintendent Frank Galicki kept his head down and thumbed through papers in a three-ring binder. Dallas resident Nick Zapoticky called him out. I am listening to people coming up here, who you are suppose to represent. Many of you dont have the decency to pick your head up and watch and listen, he said. I have a problem with that. Zapoticky said the opportunity to retain the coach is not

This is a much more worthy cause. The party wasnt all about the guests good deeds a cocktail hour started the Fierce, Fabulous and 40themed gala, which then turned into dinner followed by three hours of what Berti called booty-shakin tunes for the crowd to enjoy. Im thrilled (to be 40), said Berti. Im more excited about this because Ive been saving for this party for years, and I get to do this (fundraiser).

Williams Gas will replace part of line

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

Supervisors told residents Tuesday that the Williams Gas Co. will replace part of the Transco interstate natural gas pipeline this spring. Township officials received a notice that Williams will replace approximately 1,844 feet of the 24-inch Leidy A pipeline, which runs near and around Hildebrandt Road. The project is located on .42 acres of wetlands. Supervisor Liz Martin said she is not aware of any other details about the project, but said the supervisors do have questions for the company. Supervisors do not expect the project to hinder traffic on See GAS, Page 10

Hildebrandt Road. Williams Field Services LLC recently completed its Springville Gathering Line within the township, and the pipeline runs underneath several roads that it crosses. Township officials also received a notification from the state Department of Environmental Protection about the pipeline project of another company, Chief Gathering LLC. The notification stated Chief is amending its application for the 30-mile Wyoming Natural Gas Pipeline. Supervisor Bill Grant also said Helen Humphreys, a communications specialist from Williams Field Services LLC, sent the township an e-mail ad-

Comprehensive plan adopted, trail safety is an issue

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

Supervisors adopted an updated comprehensive plan Wednesday evening and discussed safety issues regarding the Back Mountain Trail. After several years of work from consulting firms and the planning commission, the board of supervisors adopted a final version of the townships com-

prehensive plan. The townships first comprehensive plan was created in 1974, and state law suggests plans be updated every 10 years. The plan, developed by the Harrisburg-based company Gannet Flemming, includes updates to township ordinances, expanding the business district along Route 309, promoting conservation of water and forestry, expanding parks and recreational space, finding alternate modes

of public transportation and improving on emergency responder services. The townships comprehensive plan offers a detailed view into the townships population density, land usage, economic outlook and public services to determine whether these areas are being utilized to benefit residents. Supervisor Jeff Box publicly thanked those who helped develop and strengthen the plan,

and said it was a big night for the township as the plan has been in the works for several years. In other news, the board discussed potential ways to better pinpoint locations along the Back Mountain Trail in the event of emergencies. Trucksville Fire Chief Bill Eck said there have been several emergency situations along the trail during which the victims could not properly identify their

location. The board, as per a suggestion from the Trucksville Volunteer Fire Department, said the trail should be color-coded every so many feet so travelers can let emergency crews know where they are on the trail. Mark Albrecht of the Anthracite Scenic Trails Association strongly disagreed with the boards suggestion, and said the organization cannot color-code the trail without permission

from landowners permission. He also said there arent enough colors to mark the whole trail, the effort would be too costly and it would not look desirable on the trail. Public safety trumps that, said Supervisor Shirley Moyer. The board and Albrecht agreed to negotiate on ways the trails association can create effective mile-markers for the upSee PLAN, Page 10

Trip to Ireland shaped her life

Dallas native returning to country where she first discovered her passion.
By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

Im not sure I would have (studied the harp) if I hadnt gone to Ireland.
Meghan Davis Dallas native

Going to Ireland with her aunt shaped the rest of 26-yearold Meghan Davis life. Now she has the opportunity to do the same for another young family member. Davis recently won the Philadelphia Donegal Associations Mary from Dungloe contest for 2012. The contest is held all over the world and sends young women to a pageant in Dungloe, County Donegal in Ireland to determine who will be crowned the 2012 Mary from Dungloe. The weeklong festival features performers from all over the world among activities and events. Davis aunt won the contest in 1990 when her niece, formerly of Dallas, was just 4 years old. Davis joined her aunt, Julianne Monahan, and several other family members on the trip to Ireland. When I went, I saw all these harpists on the street, performing and playing, she said. Having been only 4 years old, and I knew what I wanted to do, Id say it was a pretty neat experience. Seeing the musicians inspired Davis to pursue a career in playing harp and singing. Shes taken harp lessons since she was 9 years old and even took lessons every other week in New York City to continue her passion. After graduating from Wyoming Seminary, Davis enrolled at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where she studied vocal and harp performance. She eventually earned her masters degree in vocal performance from the Boyer College of Music at Temple University in Philadelphia, and she now works as a freelance har-

pist around the Philadelphia area and in northeastern Pennsylvania. Im not sure I would have (studied the harp) if I hadnt gone to Ireland, said Davis, who currently lives in Philadelphia. She stumbled upon the Philadelphia Donegal Association while looking for places to play the harp, and she found the Mary from Dungloe contest. I was still in age bracket, so I decided to throw in an application, she said. It was my first pageant ever, and I was one of seven finalists. Ironically, there was no talent portion for the Philadelphia contest, but I had to do an interview in front of judges. Davis didnt expect to win the competition. The rules state contestants must have an Irish background and be between the ages of 18 and 27. The application asks contestants to list their hobbies and things they like about themselves. It was kind of surreal, like when they put the sash and the crown on me, she said. I never understood why (winners of pageants) cry when they win, but the emotion is so overwhelming; I could see how it happens. Now Davis is excited about the world competition, which will be held July 28 through Aug. 6 this year. From what I hear, the contestants are really treated like rock stars, and theyre in the newspaper every single day, said Davis. Shes spoken with her family about the trip, and she hopes to take along some family memSee LIFE, Page 10

In spite of this natural disaster, Wright, who is employed by Foth Production Solutions and supports engineering efforts at Procter and Gamble, has become involved in the community by entering a drawing in the Book Jacket Redesign Contest for One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey for Wyoming County Reads 2012. Winning first prize, she has been given a three-month movie pass for two to the Dietrich Theater. Her drawing will be used in posters, programs and ads for the Dietrich Theater play performances of Dale Wassermans play March 21-25.

over those who find themselves in her care. Wright used pencil, but to accentuate her ominous presence, turned to a black Sharpie to illustrate Nurse Ratched. She used materials at hand because all of her boxes have not yet been unpacked. Second-place winner of the Book Jacket Redesign Contest is Sharon Slabicki-Ambush, who submitted a dramatic photo of over 20 combines, harvesting a field of grain in V formation. Slabicki-Ambush explains that, The repeating straight lines or grooves in the field in the bottom of the photo are symbolic of the efficiency and rigidity that the tyrannical Nurse Ratched uses to rule the ward. Slabicki-Ambush has won four tickets to the live performance of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest at the Dietrich Theater at the end of March. Two artists won third place.

Bookshop is under new management

Because of the loss of its manager, Fred Krohle, on January 1, the Slightly Read Bookshop is under new management as Ruth Tetschner is again overseeing the operation of the shop. With the cooperation of its loyal volunteers, the shop is starting the year with several promotions: A Frequent Readers Club has been formed to reward loyal patrons. Original bookshop totes will be presented to customers with $10 purchase. During January and February, books about crafts, needlework, quilting and decorating are half price! With an inventory of over 250 Danielle Steele books, a Steal on Steele event has begun. Every Steele book purchased will enable the buyer to steal a Steele of equal cost for free. Anyone purchasing a Sydney Sheldon book will also be given the same offer. Volunteers of the bookshop express their heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding effort, energy and commitment that the late Fred Krohle gave to the bookshop. Fred will always be fondly remembered by all involved with the Bookshop. Upcoming programs Riddle: What do placemats, gardening and the Civil War all have in common? If you answered, Theyre all upcoming programs at the Back Mountain Memorial Libraryyou are correct! Our spring calendar is quickly filling up with several interesting (and different) workshops/ events sure to please and, although we cant give away all our upcoming surprises, know that the library will be a very busy place in the next few months! Watch for further information on an upcoming gardening workshop and also a very special weeklong Civil War display and program scheduled for April. But for now, we can disclose our first workshop of 2012, which will be a Placemat Making Workshop! In case you missed the beautiful exhibit of recycled greeting card placemats displayed by Phyllis Bullock in January, you owe it to yourself (and those piles of old greeting cards) to check out this easy class. The workshop will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25. A $5 fee will cover the cost of materials (poster board, glue, etc.), but you will definitely want to bring along your own used cards! Phyllis will instruct us to select a theme (i.e. flowers, birds, animals, etc.) and then have us cut circles out of our used cards to arrange on pre-cut poster boards. The trick is in the shape and arrangement of design which will then be covered with vinyl. We will have some extra cards to share, but space is limited for this one-of-a-kind class! Pre-registration is required by calling the library at 675-1182.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver It was American author James Thurber who made the following sage observation: Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility. If youre a fan of the original Wizard of Oz movie, you might be surprised to learn that the actress who played Glinda the Good Witch, Billie Burke, was 54 years old when the film was shot. During this time of election madness, misology could be a useful word to know. It means hatred of reason. French novelist Marcel Prousts magnum opus, Remembrance of Things Past, has been hailed as a literary masterpiece, but not everyone was a fan at first read. As Proust was trying, unsuccessfully, to find a publisher for his seven-volume work, one publisher said, I may be dense, but I fail to see why a chap needs 30 pages to describe how he tosses and turns in bed before falling asleep.

DMS STUDENTS ENTERTAIN AT MERCY CENTER

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST

In 1991, The Dallas Post wrote about a Phantom Valentiner who posted red Valentine hearts on doors of Back Mountain businesses. Twenty-one years later, the secret Valentiner has confessed.

PHANTOM
Continued from Page 1

Maine was noticed in 1976. Ever since then, the city has been adorned in pink paper hearts on Valentines Day. Similar efforts have been made in Montpelier, Vt.; Boulder, Colo.; and in Rhode Island. Hand told her family about the Valentine Phantom, and touched on bringing the idea back home. My husband thought I was crazy, which was kind of the usual, she laughed. But Tim, his eyes lit up when I told him. He was really excited about it. The foursome decided to go through with the plan, and from 1991 through 1993, they also successfully kept it a secret. I turn into a pumpkin at 10

p.m., Hand said. So it was exciting for me to get out that late at night. The act was even worthy of The Dallas Posts front page in 1991. Many business owners spent the day after Valentines Day wondering who the Phantom was, though many just enjoyed the message. I love Dallas, I really do, Hand said. There are a lot of good people here. Sometimes, in the winter you get into doldrums it brought a smile to peoples faces. The sneaky adventures were not without mishaps, though. One year Hand and her husband were pulled over by a Dallas Borough police officer in the wee hours of the morning as they were spreading the love. It was embarrassing for me, she said. I said, Call Jack Fowler; this is all legal!

Exhaustion after distributing more than 100 hearts all night also landed her in the emergency room one year. One year I was so sleepy the next day, and it was so snowy and icy, that I slipped and broke my foot, she said. As Im going down to the hospital, it was really cool to see all the pink hearts on all the businesses. Not long after, the group decided to go into hiding and the Valentine Phantom hasnt resurfaced since. Though Hand admits she wouldnt be able to do it again now, she would like to see the tradition continued by someone else. This year, the Valentines will not be from me, but if anybody out there is interested, call me and I can give you some tips, she said.

Dallas Middle School French and Spanish Club students, under the direction of Mrs. Susan Davis and Mrs. Farouzeh Razavi, recently entertained residents of the Mercy Center in Dallas. The students performed traditional Christmas carols but also sang carols in French and Spanish.

about wins and losses but about the man. I have talked to many of you who said this is about the students; we are here for the kids, he said. They are the students and it is falling on deaf ears. I have a hard time understanding why. Coach Jackson was suspended for the 2010 season due to an incident when some Dallas High School football players urinated on the Tunkhannock High School tennis courts. He was also under probation in 2008 for a fight between Dallas football players and members of the opposing team. Zaruta, 54, of Shavertown, has been the freshman and varsity coach at GAR, coached Dallas freshmen for one year and at the varsity level for four years, ending in 2007. After the meeting, Zaruta said he understands emotions are running high and knows it will take a while for the team to get used to him. He does, however, think when Dallas gridders see his plans, they will be excited for the next season. In other news High School Principal Jeffery Shafer unveiled a new fiveperiod block schedule he hopes to implement for the 2012-2013 school year. The tentative schedule will offer one 76-minute first-period class and four 73-minute classes, running in a 90-day format. The morning homeroom period will be eliminated with the exception of the first and last day of school, report card distribu-

Robert Zaruta, of Shavertown, has been named the new head football at Dallas High School. Shown here with Zaruta at Mondays school board work session are his wife, Debbie, and their sons.

tion and standardized testing days. The schedule will allow students to earn 10 credits annually as opposed to the eight they receive now. New course selection will include subjects such as electronics and robotics, broadcasting, a full-year music program and business computer information technology. A foreign language program is still being reviewed. We are thinking along the lines of offering Chinese and Russian, whether it is through blended schools or online learning or in house, Shafer said. We are not sure yet. Shafer estimates the new schedule will be revealed to students in mid-March and to the public at the end of March. Bob Nesbit of Crabtree and Rohrbach addressed issues with the new high school building, including leaks in the heating and plumbing systems, which will be addressed during the Presidents Day weekend. He said R.J. Reynolds will repair the plumbing leaks which are connected to the fire sprinklers and A.J. Demor will fix leaks within the heating system. Decals on the gymnasium floor have been scuffed up and the finish is dull, Nesbitt said. He would like to have the entire gym floor redone and decals reapplied during the summer. Better insulation in the art rooms west facing wall should correct draft issues in that area, he said. The next school board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 13 in the administrative building.

dressing issues regarding cleanup on Sedlar Lane. Grant relayed that Humphreys said though work on the pipeline was completed Jan. 6, work is not yet complete in remedying right-ofway areas. She said the right-of-way, including Sedlar Lane, has been seeded and mulched in preparation for winter weather. Humphreys wrote the company must still comply with erosion and sedimentation controls as outlined in a state permit and in an agreement with the township, and the company will continue to monitor the area throughout the winter. She also said the company will plant vegetation in the springtime in compliance with state and township requirements.

The board approved an update to the Emergency Operations Plan of Dallas Township and agreed to update the plan every two years to ensure it conforms with county operations. Martin said the plan had not been updated in a number of years, and the operations plan includes contact information that would act as a Bible in any emergency situation. The board also agreed to change its monthly meeting schedule starting in March. The dates and times will remain the same, but instead of two meetings during which official votes can be taken, the first Tuesday of the month will act as a work session in which all parties of the township and residents can discuss certain issues before action is taken on those issues. The second meeting of the month, on the third Tuesday, will be a formal meeting during which the board will take action on issues discussed at

the work session. Martin said many municipalities in the area have similar schedules, such as Dallas Borough and Kingston Township. The board also announced that Grant will not accept the $2,500 a year stipend he would receive for being a supervisor. Grant said he did not know there was a stipend when he applied, and decided to forgo the payment because he feels being a supervisor is more about community involvement. The board also announced the creation of an investment committee comprised of supervisors and representatives of the uniformed and non-uniformed pension plan. The supervisors adopted an official policy about how the pension group members can invest monies. The next Dallas Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21 in the municipal building.
