This year there will be a Jet Ski competition organized by Shae Adamshick, whose family owns HL Powersports, that will feature participants racing around the lake and performing various tricks. Winners could receive prizes like life jackets, bathing suits, Harveys Lake beach towels and more. “My family and I opened a shop at the lake called HL Powersports, and we specialize in Jet Ski repair,” said Adamshick. “That’s how I basically learned how to work on them – I used to work on Jet Ski races all over the country. We thought it would be a good tie-in to homecoming.” The “Kiss My Fish” contest

has a new angle (that’s a fish joke). The winner (or loser, whichever way you look at it) of the contest, which was once called “Kiss My Bass,” is now determined by students at Lake-Noxen Elementary School. Students voted on which of their teachers – or principal – would be eligible to kiss a bass from the lake. The lucky winner will smooch a sturgeon during the closing ceremonies at 5 p.m. today. Devine wanted to find a way for the students to get more involved in the homecoming celebration. “They even have a float in our parade now,” she said. Hogan is already looking for people to get involved in next year’s event, and all ideas are encouraged. He also said residents can contact him at 7935187 to enter into any of today’s contests.

Castle closes, recovery group moves in Land where landmark restaurant stood was purchased in 1925; building was constructed in 1927. By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
The former Castle Inn has been sold to the Triangle 24 Hour Club, Inc. and will serve as meeting space for recovering alcoholics, addicts and their families. According to county property records, the historical landmark located on State Route 415 was sold July 26 to the nonprofit recovery group for $307,000. Nick Colangelo, a Triangle 24
Hour Club, Inc. board member and chief executive officer at Clearbrook Treatment Centers, said the group has been holding meetings in Dallas Township at the former Dallas Nursery near Back Mountain Bowl since 2006. “We’re outgrowing it and our rent has been escalating,” he said. “We’ve been looking for a piece of property up and down the highway, something with more room expansion and ownership.” Colangelo said the Triangle 24
According to county property records, the historical landmark located on State Route 415 was sold July 26 to the nonprofit recovery group for $307,000.
Hour Club is a group of businessmen who formed to help those dealing with addiction. The group plans to use the space solely for meeting purposes. Colangelo said the group did not purchase the Castle’s liquor license and it plans to remove the kitchen in the building during renovations. “It will basically be about three meeting rooms, and we’ll provide meetings the same way we do at the clubhouse we rent now,” said Colangelo. “There will be more parking, and we’ll
be more out of the way. Where we’re at now, we use the podiatrist’s parking lot because we have grown so much.” Colangelo hopes the project will be completed by September. The land for the Castle Inn was purchased by Elizabeth Huntzinger, a dressmaker from Wilkes-Barre, in 1925 and the building was constructed in 1927. Valgarour Omar Hallson, an Icelandic chef who became an American citizen in 2005, had owned the inn since 1992.

DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT
Board members discuss advertising policy change By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
The Dallas School Board discussed whether it would change its advertising policy during a meeting Monday. Chad Lojewski, a member of the Dallas Educational Foundation, told the board about the group’s first fundraising project, which is to replace the school sign on State Route 309 with a digital sign. The project, estimated to cost about $40,000, will include space for school announcements as well as advertising from local businesses. Lojewski said the advertising would be necessary to create a source of
revenue, which will allow the foundation to fund future endeavors. The foundation is a separate, nonprofit arm of the district which raises funds for scholarships, improved facilities as well as extracurricular or athletic teams’ needs. Lojewski said the current sign does not allow multiple messages to be displayed and requires manual labor to change the message. The computerized, digital sign could be changed via a laptop or other computing device and could display 12 messages in a minute. Lojewski said he and foundation board members spoke with the property owners of the land where the current sign is locat-

ed at the intersection of Hildebrandt Road and State Route 309 and they will not allow a sign with advertising to be placed on their property. The district currently does not allow advertising on campus. Board member Karen Kyle thought there may be issues with other groups wanting to advertise elsewhere on campus that could point to the sign as
an example. Board vice president Bruce Goeringer disagreed with the notion of advertising local businesses on campus and said the sign should be solely for school announcements. Board president Catherine Wega felt the board should be able to disapprove or discourage advertisers of businesses that would be inappropriate for
school students to be exposed to, but wondered if the district could legally do so. Lojewski also said there would be costs to maintain the sign, but they would be significantly lower than the initial installation fee. The idea is to place the sign near the entrance to Dallas Elementary and the high school across from the new softball field where a sign has been placed to track the fundraising progress of the foundation. Superintendent Frank Galicki said that area is equipped to handle the electrical wiring required for the sign. “This way it would be on Dallas school property, and we would never have fears or
doubts about whether it would be sold,” said Galicki. Goeringer felt the State Route 309 location would be the preferable spot, and wanted Lojewski to consider a sign without advertising in order to keep it there. Lojewski said there would be no revenue stream coming into the foundation if there is no advertising on the sign, making it difficult for future projects to be funded. Goeringer said he felt the electronic sign would be “splashy” and a distraction to drivers. Galicki said the board will think about the idea before disSee POLICY, Page 10

Should township kick in to DARE? By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
Supervisors continued discussion about whether to contribute toward the Kingston Townshiprun D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program at a work session Tuesday. Kingston Township is asking Dallas Township to donate $2,500 towards the program. The program cost is divided between Kingston, Dallas and Franklin townships, Dallas Borough and the Dallas School District. Supervisor Liz Martin said last year was the first year Kingston Township asked for funding from other municipalities and the school district. She said prior to that the program was funded through grants that are no longer available. Last month, Police Chief Robert Jolley said he didn’t agree with the township’s required contribution because the Dallas Township Police Department does not require other municipalities to contribute to the K-9 unit program that benefits other communities. He said the K-9 unit, which in-

cludes training and maintenance of a police dog used to detect drugs and other illicit substances on a person, cost tens of thousands of dollars and is taken to the school and other departments regularly. Jolley said it’s a similar situation, but the Dallas Township department isn’t asking for money to fund its K-9 unit. “Kingston Township selected apples, I selected oranges,” said Jolley. “...We had a dog die, and I didn’t go to Kingston Township looking for money. Now Kingston Township (is) here looking for money. Maybe the first place the township of Kingston should have looked is in their budget. See DARE, Page 10
JACKSON TOWNSHIP
Supers vote to sell off excess compost By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
The board of supervisors voted Monday to allow the township solicitor to draft an agreement that would allow for the sale of excess compost. Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said the supervisors would need to draft an agreement and have the action approved by the state Department of Environmental Protection before moving forward with the sale. Resident Mary Dockeray had many questions about the venture and opposed the measure because she felt it would take business away from local farmers. Supervisor Al Fox said the compost will still be free for residents. The program began two years ago when the township joined the West Side Compost Commission, which enabled the township to purchase a grinder through a state grant. He said compost is made and available for residents to pick up Monday through Saturday from dawn until dusk. Fox said Dockeray could express her feelings, but the supervisors have chosen this measure to benefit residents,
and she is free not to participate. He said the funds from the commercial purchases would offset the costs of running the grinder. The board also approved an increase in municipal quarterly contributions from 5 to 7 percent to the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System. Upon questioning from Dockeray, Malak said the statewide retirement system suggested the increase due to poorly-performing investments. Fox believes it was the first time a raise in contributions was suggested in 10 years. Supervisors also approved an update to the police policy duty manual as prepared by the police chief. Supervisor John Wilkes Jr. said the update was suggested by the township’s insurance carrier, which performs an audit annually. Fox said the manual includes “everything you could think of” that defines police procedures and how to perform them. He said many of the policies are statewide. The next Jackson Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 in the municipal building.

troop completed the rugged wilderness footpath of the 59.2 mile Loyalsock Trail. They hiked for seven days and six nights, earning them
the title “Thru Hiker.” This trail is considered to be one of the most difficult trails to Thru Hike in the United States.
The boys who finished the hike will be eligible to earn the 50-mile award after completing 10 hours of service on a trail.

Without delivery of earned income tax dollars, twp. will be in financial straits By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
Kingston Township will be in financial trouble if earned income tax dollars aren’t delivered to the township general fund soon, supervisors said at a meeting Wednesday. Chairman James Reino Jr. said the township is more than $600,000 short of this year’s budget due to the late-coming dollars. After this month’s bills are paid, only $143,000 remains in the general fund. “This affects us most because our township depends mostly on EIT (earned income tax) collections as a main source of income,” said Reino. The board voted to seek proposals for a tax anticipation note, which is akin to a loan from a financial lending institution that would cover the budget shortfall. The supervisors would only take out such a loan if the township was in dire financial straits, and it would need to pay back that dollar amount of the loan plus interest, which would fall on the backs of taxpayers. Reino said if this does happen, the board plans to ask Don Wilkinson/CENTAX to cover the interest costs due to its inability to provide the income tax in the first place. “This is outrageous that they’re not complying with the requirements,” said Supervisor Jeffrey Box of the company. In other news, the board… • Appointed the following two residents to township boards: Thomas Festa, of Shavertown, to the planning commission; and Kim Helson, of Shavertown, to

Center St., Shavertown, PA 18708 or by emailing info@kingstontownship.com. • Approved the next three payments for the East Center Street Bridge replacement project in the amount of $46,548.38. Those cost of the project is being split, with the state Department of Transportation paying 80 percent and Kingston Township paying 20 percent. Kingston Township’s portion of that payment is $9,309.67. • Approved the installation of five fire hydrants on Perrin Avenue, West Mount Airy Road and Roushey Street as part of the pro-

Agency’s name change is celebrated County MH/MR now known as Mental Health and Developmental Services. The Luzerne County Council and Wyoming County Commissioners officially proclaimed the name change of the Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Mental Health/Mental Retardation Program to Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Mental Health and Developmental Services at a ceremony held July 25 at the Luzerne County Courthouse.
Well over 200 families, selfadvocates, human service staff and state and county officials came together to witness the unveiling of the new name. The new term “Developmental Services” represents a shift in how individuals with special needs are referred. Following 2010’s federal legislation mandating the removal of the term “Mental Retardation” from all federal statutes, Pennsylvania’s Governor Corbett signed HB 458, removing
the words “Mental Retardation” from the MH/MR Act of 1966. These historic legislative actions are now being carried forward on a local level through the bi-county joinder’s new name. Moving away from the negative connotations associated with the outdated language will significantly foster the respect and dignity individuals with special needs truly deserve.

Kids ‘Dive In’ to VBS at SUMC
Sunday, August 12, 2012
“Ocho” the octopus, aka Rev. Lynn Snyder, makes a daily appearance.
’Operation Overboard’ is Vacation Bible School theme Shavertown United Methodist Church hosted its annual Vacation Bible School the week of July 22 with the theme “Operation Overboard: Dare to Go Deep with God.” Families were encouraged to visit the church for a free cooked dinner prepared by Sandy Michalisin and her kitchen team each night at 5:30 p.m. followed by a high energy VBS program. Chief Rebecca Oley and her Dive Crew led the children with music and dancing as each night they introduced a new Bible verse and a Pearl of the Day: Depend on God, Dare to Care, Claim Jesus and Choose to Follow. The message was reinforced by a visit from Rev. M. Lynn Snyder, disguised as “Ocho” the Octopus each night. The VBS message was also evident in the High Tide Hangout games organized by Beth and Mike Viglone and Aquatic Arts and Crafts organized by Karen Fiorello and her family. Two mission projects were supported throughout the week. The first mission involved collecting small toys, games and other amusements to fill over 50 Jared Boxes which will be donated to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville and distributed to hospitalized children to keep them occupied when they are ill. The second mission collected $1,003 to support SUMC member Susan Roese in purchasing art supplies for deaf children at a school in Dakar, Senegal where she will deliver the supplies and give art lessons later this year. The VBS program, spearheaded by SUMC Christian Education Director Katie Hrivnak, was attended by over 90 children and supported by numerous adult and teen volunteers as well as donations from the Shavertown congregation.

‘The Prankster’ is at it again, will visit Back Mountain area By JEFF “PRANKSTER” THOMPSON Special to The Dallas Post
This is the time of year when everybody could stand for a good laugh. I thought the following story may produce one. Shortly after my brother, Barry Thompson, passed away, I returned to Aunt Beth’s and Uncle Barry’s in Mathews, Virginia. We agreed that I would stay around and fix up the property for a week. I did some painting and lots of yard work. One evening, I noticed a picture on the fireplace mantle in the parlor and, lo and behold, it was a picture I had forgotten about. I asked Aunt Beth if I could take it back home to Naples, Fla. with me. Here we are, years later and I recently found the picture in a box. I would like to share the following story with you. We were living in Elmcrest in Dallas as a family – mom, dad, me and my brother who was living in Virginia with Uncle Ashby. It was the summer of 1957. My father suggested the three of us go to Atlantic City, New Jersey for a weekend. He also added that we would visit the Atlantic City racetrack each day during our. Mother elected not to go so Dad and I went off for the weekend to Atlan-
tic City. On the way there, our very first stop was the racetrack. Now, mind you, this is 1957 and I was only 16 years old. While at the track, we sat in the dining room overlooking the track. It was absolutely beautiful. At one point, Dad got up and left the table to make a bet. I remember looking around and seeing this couple sitting at the table next to us. When my father got back to the table, I asked, “Hey, Dad, isn’t that Mr. Pappas, the meat man at the grocery store in Baltimore?” My dad looked over and started laughing uncontrollably. He said, “Go over and introduce yourself and tell him you know him and all.” I walked over to the table and said, “Pardon me, don’t I know you from Baltimore? Aren’t you Mr. Pappas from the grocery store?” The man replied, “No, although I go to Baltimore quite a bit.” I said, “That’s where I know you from, Baltimore, but I can’t place you.” And, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it came to me as my face turned beet red. I said, “You are Joe DiMaggio!” He looked at me and said, “Yes. I play ball in Baltimore at the stadium and I want you to meet my wife, Marilyn.” I could hardly walk back to the table where my father was out of control with laughter. I sat down and tried to gather myself when
Jeff “The Prankster” Thompson” will visit the area for a few days this month and invites anyone who grew up in and around the Back Mountain in the 1950s and 1960s to join him for a Dutch Treat lunchoen at noon on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at Grotto Pizza, Harveys Lake, to share stories of old times. Anyone seeking more information may call Jeff at 239-591-0551.
Dad said mother wanted a picture so I chose to stand in between two cardboard burlesque ladies to have my picture taken. Dad said, “That’s not a good idea. You better go over there and stand on the porch.” As the photo reflects, I wasn’t too happy about that. Needless to say, we had a wonderful trip. When I got back to Dallas, I put the picture in the Atlantic City race program and put it in my dresser drawer where I kept a few
dollars. Months later, I went to retrieve the photo and autographed program from my drawer to show it to Mom and Dad and talk about the trip. The picture was there but the autographed program was gone. After a few intense moments, my brother admitted he had taken the program to a pawn shop in Wilkes-Barre to get money to buy parts to hop up his car. (E-Bay says if I had that program today, it would be worth over $50,000).
Friedman Family Walk/Run is today Jeff ’The Prankster’ Thompson is Atlantic City in 1957.
my father suggested that I take the racing program over and ask Mr. DiMaggio to sign it. It was then that Marilyn Monroe said those immortal words to me: “What is your name?” As she spoke, she wrote on the program: “Jeff, good luck at the races” and

MOMENTS IN TIME By Samantha Weaver • It was pioneering British film director and producer Alfred Hitchcock who made the following sage observation: “Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it - as well as contributing to the need for it.” • The grapefruit is so named not because of any relation to or resemblance to a grape (obviously), but because it hangs from the tree in grapelike clusters. • Those who study such things say that the three most recognized words in the world are God, Coca-Cola and Titanic. • Although darts is a traditionally English pub game, there are now more than three times as many darts players in the United States than there are in the United Kingdom. • Jazz musician Glenn Miller was the recipient of the first gold record ever awarded, for the big-band hit “Chattanooga Choo-Choo.” • The amount of fuel in a jumbo jet single tank would be enough to allow a car to drive around the world - four times. • If you had visited Peru in the mid-1980s, you could have bought toothpaste with cocaine in it. • Before he became the celebrated author of such novels as “Pale Fire” and “Lolita,” Vladimir Nabokov was a tennis instructor. • The longest game in the history of professional baseball was played between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings in April of 1981. It lasted just shy of 8 1/2 hours, and ran for an unbelievable 33 innings. • It’s traditional in Italy for a prospective groom to spend a full year’s earnings on an engagement ring.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On Aug. 19, 1953, the Iranian military, with the assistance of the United States government, overthrows the government of Premier Mohammed Mosaddeq and reinstates the Shah of Iran. As thanks for the help, the Shah signed over 40 percent of Iran’s oil fields to U.S. companies. However, the Shah was toppled from power in 1979. • On Aug. 13, 1961, East German soldiers begin building a wall between Soviet-controlled East Berlin and the democratic western section of the city. Berlin residents found themselves cut off from friends or family until the wall was dismantled in 1989. • On Aug. 15, 1983, Hurricane Alicia forms south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Three days later, the Texas Gulf Coast is slammed by the storm, causing 21 deaths. The $2 billion in damages recorded was a record for hurricane damage in Texas at the time.

Swim, bike, run in the 31st Annual WB Triathlon
Sean Robbins, a Back Mountain resident and former champion, transitions to his bike gear. Robbins was the first triathlete to cross the finish line this year.
Dave Mariner, of Shavertown, prepares for his 24th year as a participant in the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon.
BMT residents compete and volunteer to make annual event the success it is. Two quadragenarians raced to first-place finishes in the 31st annual Wilkes-Bare Triathlon known for its tricky Back Mountain hills and unpredictable weather. Sean Robbins, 43, of Shavertown and Amy Rummel, 41, of Kalamazzo, Mich. crossed the finish line first on Sunday in the men’s and women’s divisions, respectively. Robbins finished first overall for the second consecutive year after becoming the first Wyoming Valley resident to win the event last year. He clocked in Sunday at a time of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 509 seconds – over a minute faster than the competition. Competing in the first flight, Robbins escaped the torrential downpour that stymied the remaining racers. He stood in 16th place following the 1.5 kilometer Harveys Lake swim and passed his competition before the first-quarter of the 40 km bike race. From there, he cycled and ran along for the remaining 11 km stretch to defeat Weston’s Tim Felegie. Robbins nearly matched his first triathlon victory, wining the race by 1:08, two seconds longer than last year’s mark. For Rummel, the triathlon gold serves as a homecoming and a revitalization of her running career. The Edwardsville native returned home to compete in the event with no expectations of winning. The win marks her first women’s overall victory in five years since returning from her 2006 retirement earlier this year. Rummel passed Kristen Karwacki, of Macungie, in the final mile to finish her race at 2 hours, 35 minutes and 18 seconds. Paige Kyle, of Trucksville, swam the ninth fastest overall swim to earn the second-fastest women’s overall time of 2:37.21. Two-time defending women’s champion Kelly Ciravolo, of Shavertown, did not compete this year. Wilkes-Barre’s Alec Barcklow won first place in 1:51.00 in the Aquabike competition, a division for athletes who have suffered injuries that does not include the run. Megan Pietraccini, of Dallas, was the top female finisher in the swimming-biking classification.

They selected the apples. I didn’t select the apples. I selected oranges.” Supervisor Frank Wagner said he agrees with Jolley. “Don’t get me wrong, I think the dog and the D.A.R.E. program are great,” he said. Supervisor Bill Grant said he wanted residents to know that Dallas Township is not trying to discourage the program, and he believes it’s a great asset to the school district and community at large. “One thing I’ve been thinking about is the perception of our citizens that we’re not supporting a program that is aimed at children and the youth to stop the use of drugs and make them aware of what’s going on,” said Grant. Martin said she is “on the fence” on the issue, stating she understands Jolley’s point but also finds the program to be a great benefit to students. Brennan suggested that Jolley discuss the issue with Kingston Township Police Chief James Balavage before supervisors make a final decision. “We’re all in this world together and we’re all trying to stop drugs,” he said. The board also discussed several other issues relating to the emergency services and police department at the meeting.

to be employed in classrooms. The model the district will use will incorporate using Internet-based programs to aid students in the freshman Algebra I course. The program, which will cost about $90,000, is largely funded by Title II funding. Galicki said additional funding will come from the Accountability Block Grant. He said the school may receive between $65,000 and $68,000 in these funds, which may help to reinstate elementary tutoring as well. The board also hired the fol-
lowing employees: Mark Golden as high school technology education teacher with a salary of $35,295; Casey Cicale as high and middle school special education teacher with a salary of $35,542; Douglas Mucha as high school long-term special education substitute with a prorated salary of $35,000; and Kelly Guyette as part-time speech therapist at an hourly rate of $28.35. The next Dallas School Board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13 in the administration building.
Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Alan Pugh told supervisors that both the Dallas and Kunkle fire departments held a tabletop drill with the Williams Gas Co., which simulates an emergency at a natural gas site. He said Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dodson is also attempting to organize a tabletop drill with the school district to anticipate any shortcomings that may arise. Supervisors also discussed what would be the best way to notify residents during the event of an emergency. Martin said she’s tested that via the township website newsletter. She said most residents have asked to be notified via e-mail, and only two people had asked for the newsletter via mail. Martin said she will see if the trends change at all with the next newsletter, but she believes the best way to communicate with other residents would be electronically. Pugh said the county has a system available to the township to alert residents electronically of emergencies at no cost. He said a cost to add phone numbers could be incurred at a later date. Pugh also spoke to the supervisors about possible alternate access ways to the school district near the football stadium that would allow emergency vehicles to enter onto the campus. Martin said school officials would participate in maintaining the roadways, but had asked whether the township could get
the roads approved for emergency access purposes. Solicitor Thomas Brennan said there are many issues to consider, such as whether those roads are owned by the township, how much work would be required to open the roads and other factors. Jolley presented the supervisors with information about purchasing two computerized mobile dispatch systems for the department. He said these systems, which are already in place in local emergency service vehicles, enable officers to receive 911 call information in real time, access to various databases from anywhere and contact with other police departments throughout the country and abroad. Jolley said the county upgraded to a new, computer-aided dispatch system and several licenses were purchased for the data to be shared among other police departments. The township has an opportunity to utilize the licenses at no cost. Otherwise, Jolley said, the licenses cost $1,800 per unit. He said this technology would have been helpful when apprehending a man who was found walking naked down Huntsville Road on Monday. Jolley said police had troubling identifying the man, and arrest papers stated the man’s name as “John Doe.” Jolley said the cost to install the equipment into police vehicles is $7,790. He also said the equipment could be moved to

buzzer in the municipal building. Martin said she and assistant treasurer Nancy Balutis had an incident in which they were the only two people in the building and made them realize the importance of having some sort of security devices. “It could have been a disaster,” she said. Grant said it may be more beneficial, but more costly, to have an electronic punch or card swipe system installed. Pugh said those systems would also need a key back-up system. Martin will look into the costs and report back to the board next month. • Discussed the development of a fireworks ordinance in the township. Zoning officer Carl Alber said currently it is illegal to
purchase fireworks in the state without a permit, but fines issued if caught are just $100. He said a local law can have more stringent penalties. Resident Roseann Bauer said fireworks are constantly being shot near her home and near the Dallas High School late at night. “It is horrible,” she said. “It’s been going on since May. We’ve had such a dry spell, and there’s a lot of pine trees where we are, and I want to know who’s responsible if my house and about five other houses go up in flames.” Alber said he would work on an ordinance for the supervisors’ approval. • The next Dallas Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 in the municipal building.
