The company is also working Road on Monday. Stockton said the pipelines are on a compressor station, located being replaced due to increases in population – federal requirements require thicker pipe walls when a certain number of houses are located in the vicinity of the pipeline. The classes range from class 1 to class 4 and Stockton said the Transco line near Dallas and

Kingston townships is being switched from a class 2 to a class 3 pipe. He said the pipe has thicker walls but remains 24 inches wide and made of carbon steel. Stockton said the replacement is determined by an annual house count conducted by Williams – if the number of houses meets a certain guideline, the pipe must be replaced. Work on the Hildebrandt Road section of the pipeline should be completed by the end of August. Perry Meter Site Installation of flow control components at Williams Field Services’ site in Dallas Township is complete; however, site grading and remaining electrical work will continue into fall 2012. West Wyoming Compressor Station The compressor station being proposed by UGI Energy Services in West Wyoming Borough is “nowhere near being built,” said UGI spokesperson Lillian Harris. “We haven’t put a shovel in the
ground yet,” said Harris. She said the line traveling to the proposed compressor station involves extending a pipeline UGI built that begins in Mehoopany that would allow gas to travel from the Tennessee Gas Pipeline in Susquehanna County. The line would come through the proposed compressor station and then travel to a distribution system in Wilkes-Barre. “It’s in a very remote location, on a piece of property in the Transco system,” said Harris. “This will help in the warm summer months when there is lower usage the gas can be compressed there.” Harris said the project timeline doesn’t plan for construction until spring 2013. The company is scheduled to go before the Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7 in the second floor jury room of the Luzerne County Courthouse.

After four months of construction, Hillside Road in Jackson Township is almost ready to reopen to the public, but officials warn nearby residents that the bridge replacement project does not mean the area is no longer prone to flooding. Luzerne County Chief Engineer Joseph Gibbons said crews working on the project are currently waiting for the concrete to strengthen before the culvert, which allows water to flow underneath a road, can be finished. The project has been in the works since 2006 after heavy rains in June of that year washed out and destroyed the waterway. Township supervisor John Wilkes Jr. said officials have vigilantly watched the area near the Farmers’ Inn every time it rains since 2006 when that culvert and another underneath Chase Road were destroyed. Despite the increased water capacity, Gibbons warns residents that a new culvert and larger drainage pipe will not prevent flooding from occurring along the road. “We never want to use the term, ‘prevent flooding,’” said Gibbons. “There is a larger water opening and it should alleviate flooding from smaller events. In the one-year storm, which is the largest storm that would occur in a given year, the culvert could adequately pass that. “If we get another record event that’s something similar to what happened in September (2011), our goal is to try to make sure the bridge will survive that event, and that the road can be quickly reopened to the public.” Wilkes said emergency and road crews were always on scene near the Hillside Bridge
“We never want to use the term, ‘prevent flooding.’” Joseph Gibbons Luzerne County engineer
in every forecasted heavy rain, and he hopes the completion of the project will alleviate some of that urgency. “If you were to get a water capacity like that in September, you’ve got huge issues to begin with,” said Wilkes. “Hopefully, we will avoid a lot of the flooding we did have in smaller events because we didn’t have the capacity.” The project had a few snags in the process of getting realized, from the township needing to relocate sewer lines to qualifying for federal disaster funding. The project’s costs are being reimbursed to the county and Wilkes said the township will be reimbursed for half the cost of relocating the sewer lines. Gibbons said the project also included redesigning the façade of the culvert in keeping with the historical richness of the area, but the goal of the project is to update centuries’ old roadways and drainage systems. “These roads have been in existence for at least 100 to 200 years and they’ve never really seen a substantial amount of professional design until recent history,” said Gibbons. “The design needs to meet the service of these roads, and as public demand for use increases, there’s another step in upgrading those roads to handle today’s traffic.” Wilkes said the project has been an inconvenience to those traveling from State Route 309 through the township – a detour is posted cutting from Hillside to Chase and then Huntsville roads – but it will be well worth See HILLSIDE, Page 10

On this trip, animal care trumped personal hygiene By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
Andrea Carr is dedicated to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. The 20-year-old from Dallas Township is so dedicated that, during a recent trip to a spay and neuter clinic at a Native American reservation in South Dakota, she focused on animal care more than hygiene. “I think we showered twice during the week,” said the Misericordia University biology major. “…Baby wipes go a long way.” Carr and her mother, Maria, attended a trip with the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association-Rural Area Veterinary Services program, a veterinary outreach service that aims to provide free veterinary care to “rural communities where poverty and geographic isolation make regular veterinary care inaccessible,” according to the program’s website. The trip, held during the last week of May, included veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary medicine students, undergraduate students and support staff. “I was looking for international trips, like mass spay and neuter clinic trips to third world countries,” said Andrea. “What I realized was that stateside, there’s a whole other world for veterinary services in rural communities.” Andrea was the only undergraduate student on site and Maria was the only person on the trip who did not work in an animal care-related field. The pair worked as support staff members, aiding in the registration and check out of clients. The clinic was held in a fire hall on the reservation and the 40 participants had to sleep on the floor of a nearby elementary school. Showers were few and far between – 10 showers were located at a community center about a quarter of a mile from the site. “There were three males on the 40-person team,” said Maria. “We would make the guys shower last so we could have 10 people shower at a time.”
One day Andrea couldn’t wait for the showers and started her own cleaning trend. “We were given a lot of time to shower, so I went into the elementary school kitchen and used the high-powered dish washer hose to wash my hair,” said Andrea. “Pretty soon everyone had their heads in the sinks.” Maria said the clinic was like “organized chaos” – the participants were usually there from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. or midnight and sometimes the clients were there longer. “We opened at 7 a.m. but it wouldn’t be unusual to see people lined up at the door at 5:30, 6 in the morning,” she said. Andrea said the clinic, which treated more than 300 animals during the week, was an eyeopening experience and one that helped her get a better grasp on the importance of the veterinary medicine field. “I’m relatively used to working in small animal veterinary clinics, and the animals who come to them live in loving homes and are well taken care of,” she said. “Where this clinic was, there isn’t a vet for 50 miles and many of the people on the reservation don’t have the transportation or money to get there. Ninety percent of the animals we saw have never been to a vet.” The animals came to the clinic to get spayed or neutered, which helps control the animal population, and on the last day there was a vaccine clinic to help prevent the spread of disease among the animals living on the reservation. “These people took care of animals the best way they know how,” said Maria. “There’s no dog food or cat food – the animals eat what the humans eat. Half a deer carcass could feed a few dogs over the winter. And many of the injuries we saw could have been old injuries. And they were infested with ticks – I’ve never seen so many ticks in my life.” The trip helped expand Andrea’s horizons went it comes to applying for vet school next year. “I think I learned more from this trip than I have in years of shadowing vets,” she said. Andrea is pursuing a pre-veterinary medicine track at Miser-

icordia University, where Maria works as an adjunct biology professor and lab assistant, and Andrea’s father, Leo, is a chemistry professor. Science may, indeed, be in Andrea’s blood; however, despite the influence of her parents, she was never pressured into the field. “I was encouraged to choose any career I wanted,” she said. “I wasn’t pressured even though I have biologists and chemists in my family.” She had been taking care of animals on her own since she was a young girl – it’s part of her nature. “Ever since I was little, I’ve always liked animals,” said An-

I would do physical exams on salamanders.” Andrea has been working with Dr. Lynn D’Alessandro, of Creekside Animal Hospital in Monroe Township, since she was 12 years old, and she recently did a stint as a veterinary assistant for Dr. John Bucha, of the Harveys Lake Veterinary Clinic. She’s also a state-certified poultry technician, which allows her to draw blood from chickens for testing, something that comes in handy for a family that owns about 50 chickens.

Gate of Heaven Church, Dallas, recently held its annual summer youth music camp. Directed by Anthony J. Kubasek, music director and liturgy coordinator at the church, the week-long event consisted of choir rehearsals, games and daily presentations by Deacon Thomas Cesarini, who explained Catholic practices, holidays and traditions. The participants were treated to a pool party on the last day of camp and an ice cream social following the concluding Sunday liturgy, at which they sang. Shown here are camp attendees and staff.

Exhibit planned at Friedman Art Gallery at MU The powerful expressionist paintings of distinguished Russian artist Igor Khazanov are on display in the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery at Misericordia University through Sept. 22. His large, acrylic and oil canvases illustrate subject matter such as global greed, unrest and hope. Also in the MacDonald Gallery, the exhibit “Brother Kenneth Chapman – Celebration of Life,” features an array of abstract mixed media paintings depicting
his interpretation of some of the mysteries of life. Pauly Friedman Art Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; and Saturday and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. “We are fortunate to be presenting these two painters with two different styles and approaches to their unique subject matter,” says Brian J. Benedetti, gallery director. “Local art collector Carmen Latona, of Dallas,
suggested Khazanov and Sister Marie Noel Keller R.S.M., of the Sisters of Mercy Congregation, brought Brother Chapman to our attention.” Talk Art Productions, Ltd. produced a documentary entitled “Two Artists” about Khazanov. For more information about this and upcoming exhibits at the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery, log on to www.misericordia.edu/art or call 674-6250.
The Back Mountain continues to rally around Paige Selenski, a native of Shavertown and 2008 graduate of Dallas High School who is playing on the United States Olympic field hockey team in London, showing its support in many ways. Employees at The Lands at Selenski Hillside Farms created “The Paige” sundae, consisting of vanilla ice cream, strawberry and blueberry topping, whipped cream and a cherry on top. Selenski played a strong game against Argentina in Olympic field hockey action, aiding the U.S. team to a 1-0 victory, avenging a defeat by Argentina at the Pan American Games earlier this year. Selenski generated a penalty corner for the U.S. in the 41st minute when she received a free ball in the goalmouth, then spun to her left and around an Argentine defender. Selenski fired a shot toward the goal that was deflected by goalkeeper Laura del Colle for a corner – one of four on the night for the Americans. Shannon Taylor of Virginia was the United States’ leading scorer heading into Olympic play and the only scorer Tuesday as the American recorded

perhaps their biggest win ever, blanking the No. 2 team in the world. Selenski had a shot in Tuesday’s game after firing two shots Sunday in the U.S. loss to Germany. She also saw an increase in playing time, playing 47 minutes against Argentina after seeing just 34 min-
utes of action in the opener against Germany. The U.S. team suffered a 1-0 defeat to Australia on Aug. 2. The final two matches of the preliminary rounds have the U.S. facing off against a talented New Zealand squad on Aug. 4 and South Africa on Aug. 6.

Curiosity fuels activity By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
A curiosity about the unknown led Jim Fazzi and Tony Piontkowski to set up cameras in cemeteries. The pair formed Deadline Paranormal about a year ago, and since then the ghost hunters have investigated nearly a dozen places some have claimed are haunted. But it’s not all seeing spooky sights - both law enforcement officials know that investigations can sometimes be all about the stakeout, which requires time and patience. “We do a solid and thorough investigation,” said Fazzi, of Trucksville. “We compile reports on the happenings and the reports are posted on our website. After our investigation, we make our statements and display evidence. Some groups don’t display evidence but that’s what we’re here for.” At a recent investigation in the Hollenback Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre, the duo spent hours setting up infrared cameras, using different devices to monitor changes in electromagnetic frequencies and keeping an eye out for unusual occurrences. For all their painstaking work, the pair sometimes comes up empty-handed. “The hardest part is making sure that it’s not something else – in a picture it could be a leaf, or moisture, or a bug. We try to rule everything out,” said Fazzi. “We’ll take a thousand shots and there might be something a little off towards the end.” Fazzi said it could take as long as two weeks to complete an investigation, which includes visiting the site, examining all the evidence and preparing it for their website. “There’s a lot involved,” said Piontkowski, of Kingston. “We take numerous photos of the same area. It’s time consuming.” But sometimes the work is worth it. The group visited the Hollenbeck Cemetery last year and captured a “full-body apparition” on an infrared camera, something. Fazzi compared it to

a ghost-hunter’s treasure. “It was a woman who was wearing early 1900s clothing and she had one hand on her hip,” said Fazzi. “We didn’t see it happen but we saw it forming in the photos.” Other frightening occurrences include picking up a low, husky voice on a digital recorder that had some colorful words to share with Fazzi. “It is said that ghosts talk in different frequencies and our ears can’t hear it,” said Fazzi. “Our very first EVP (electronic voice phenomena) was at a house in Plains. I was asking the spirit to come out and it cussed at me.” Piontkowski said in the same house, after all the equipment
was packed, he felt something brushing his head from his forehead all the way to the back of his neck. “It happened twice, as I was leaving,” he said. “I can’t explain it. It was weird.” The group’s interest in the paranormal stems from experiences both men had when they were young. In Piontkowski’s childhood home in Nanticoke, one room upstairs was always much colder than the rest of the house and gave off a feeling that someone was watching. “My sister slept in there.

Lions thankful to Frontier for help With the conclusion of the sponsorship campaign for this year’s Dallas Lions Hometown Hero Project, the Dallas Lions thank Frontier Communication for its work in getting all the banners placed before Memorial Day. Thirty additional banners were hung this year along with 28 banners sponsored from 2011. Wayne Devine, Ted Wilson and their crew did a great job in getting the 58 banners placed while negotiating around road work being done in the borough. The Dallas Lions also thank the Dallas Borough Council for its involvement in the project. The Hometown Hero banners will remain on display through Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11. Since the Dallas Lions has received requests for sponsorships for more banners, the Hometown Hero Project has been extended to next year. The 2013 campaign will be held January 2013 through March 2013. The Lions will give all who have sponsored a banner in 2011 and 2012 the option of placing their banner in the Dallas Borough next year or have Steve Martin of Frontier Communications hangs a banner for the their banner released to them.

Fundraiser remembers woman who loved ice cream and children Ice cream social in memory of Audrey Billings raises funds for mission project. A woman who loved sweet treats and helping others will be remembered at an ice cream social fundraiser set for 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11 in the education building of the Trucksville United Methodist Church, Knob Hill Road. The fundraiser will be held in memory of Audrey Billings, a Trucksville resident who died at the age of 89 last year. Patrons can make a free will offering in exchange for a bowl of ice cream and several toppings. The event will raise money for Four Corners Native American Ministry, the church’s mission focus for the month of August. Any money donated to the church in August will benefit this organi-
zation, a Navajo cooperative parish of the New Mexico Annual Conference. Ruth Gavenus, of Kingston, fondly remembers her sister Audrey as a woman who “loved two things: ice cream and children.” “Ice cream was a very special thing to my sister. She ate a bowl of ice cream every night at 9:00 - that was the time for a bowl of ice cream and a cup of coffee,” said Gavenus. “It was a special bond she had with all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When you came to visit Audrey, you had a bowl of ice cream and conversation. “Besides ice cream, my sister loved children,” said Gavenus continued. “This is an organization that helps youth.” For more information, contact the church at 696-3897 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver • It was beloved American comedian and film star Groucho Marx who made the following sage observation: “There’s one way to find out if a man is honest -- ask him. If he says ’Yes,’ you know he is a crook.” • The ancient Egyptians were known to use crocodile dung as a contraceptive. • You may be surprised to learn that when the hit 1950s TV show “I Love Lucy” had its premiere, Lucille Ball was already 40 years old. • Talk about sneaky: In order to get a photo of Bing Crosby in his coffin, The National Enquirer tabloid had a reporter dress as a priest and sneak into the private funeral service. To top it off, on his way out of the service, the disguised journalist told ABC reporter Geraldo Rivera not to pester the family at such a sensitive moment. • Every year, about $500 million is spent on beads for Mardi Gras. • Ever wonder how the statuette taken home by winners of the Academy Awards got its nickname? Evidently, in 1931 a secretary at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saw the statuette for the first time and exclaimed, "Why, he reminds me of my Uncle Oscar!" The comment struck the fancy of a reporter who was present, and he put it in a story about the awards, and the name stuck. • Are you acersecomic? If your hair has never been cut, you are. • Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was not himself a slave owner. He reportedly did not believe in the institution of slavery. • If this is an average week, three manmade artifacts hurtling into the atmosphere from space will crash into the Earth. ••• Thought for the day: “The world is round; it has no point.” Adrienne E. Gusoff

Members of the Bob Horlacher 9-10 softball team congratulate the Canal Delaware team on its 3-2 victory in Old Forge Wednesday afternoon.
Bob Horlacher’s ride has heartbreaking end It was a great ride for the Bob Horlacher 9-10 year old softball team but a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Canal of Delaware in the Eastern Regional Tournament on Wednesday was a bit hard to take. Canal’s Jules Kolek got a piece of a pitch thrown by Horlacher reliever Hope Jones and, with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, drove home Mallory Weir and Kelsey Higgins with the tying and winning runs in a game played in Old Forge.
Jones’ pitch to Kolek was on the outside part of the plate and Kolek flicked the bat through the strike zone. The ball arced over first baseman Sarah Kuderka and fell in front of right fielder Erin Dunn just inches inside the right field fence. The perfectly-placed hit easily brought in the runners from second and third. Jones retired four of the first five batters she faced via strikeouts, pitching carefully around
clean-up batter Weir. Higgins was down to her team’s final strike but forced a 14-pitch attack against Jones before earning a walk. Jones had 22 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings on the mound. Horlacher’s Faith Jones had two hits, giving her seven for the tournament. Horlacher was scheduled to play in the tournament’s thirdplace game Thursday afternoon.
Sarah Traver, left, Josie Frisco, Danielle Krispin, and Sydney Faux, all of Tunkhannock, cheer on the Bob Horlacher 9-10 softball team.

Mountain area,” said Gensel. “The bikers go through Dallas, Kunkle, Noxen and Lehman and there wasn’t any traffic back then.” Gensel said the race recently instated a new start time, about an hour earlier than in previous years, in order to avoid heavy traffic. She also said natural gas and other energy developments in the area have made race organizers more aware of traffic concerns. “Our basic number one concern is safety of the athletes. We have the issue now with the (natural gas industry) – they work 24/7,” said Gensel. “The site manager of the windmill project (in Noxen) has been very cooperative … to make sure the trucks don’t interfere with the race.” Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolley said the entire force comes out to ensure the safety of athletes during the
nior high boys Physicals will begin at 9 a.m. each day. Any senior high athlete unable to make the first two exam dates may report on one of the abovementioned days. There are new PIAA sport physical forms this year.

event. “It’s a day when no one is off,” he said. “We have the maximum effort because of the number of intersections. It takes everybody I have, and we use every single vehicle.” Jolley said the most dangerous part of the race is when bikers cross State Route 309 in Kunkle – he ensures there are at least two officers on the scene and has signs posted for drivers to slow down and be alert during the event. “Around here, we’re all aware of the triathlon, but somebody traveling from Monroe County has no clue and there are all these bikes,” said Jolley. “Every year, we’re greatly concerned for the safety of everyone involved. (The race organizers are) well aware of it. It’s just a difficult thing to deal with.” Gensel said the highway crossing is a great concern and believes the route will need to be tweaked in future years in order to accommodate the increase in traffic over time. “I talked to some of the athletes that have been in the race for 30 years and asked for their
help,” said Gensel. “I’m an organizer, so I asked for their help to try to find a different route for next year. I don’t know if possible, but I’d like to try. It’s still a safe route, but maybe we don’t have to go over 309. We may have to go over it sooner or later, but we’re going to try and see, find alternatives, see what does work.” Jolley said not only has the population increased in the Back Mountain, but also the way people spend their time, which he believes affects the Sunday morning traffic patterns. “It used to be that Sunday morning was a nice quiet morning with everyone home,” said Jolley. “Now, it looks like Monday morning.” Thanks to local law enforcement and the municipalities in which the event is located, Gensel said the race can continue for another 30 years. “We couldn’t do it without support from the Back Mountain community, from the fire and ambulance, to the police departments to council members,” she said.
