IT’S FAIR TIME
W
hether it’s the food, the rides, the entertainment or the animals, there’s much to do at the Luzerne County Fair. The event, in its 50th year, concludes today on the fair grounds, Route 118, Lehman. Today’s entertainment includes Elvis Presley tribute artist Shawn Klush, who will be accompanied by the Sweet Inspirations who, at one time, performed with the King himself. Admission is just $8 and includes parking, rides and entertainment.

Painting is not going to stop Alzheimer’s disease as it slowly steals memory and personality from its victims. Yet there is something about art that stirs the soul of Alzheimer’s patients and, in that process, their spirits seem to be soothed. In a realm of primal sub-consciousness at an art therapy class at the Meadows Center in Dallas, Marie Borton, a former Dallas school teacher, twirls her paint brush and chuckles, “I’m not serious, I’m just puddling along.” Borton talks about her career at many school districts, the students she had and how lucky she was to have had all those experiences in her life. The paint flows easily from her life’s brush - and so do some lovely memories. The paint box of life is not always happy and the brush strokes don’t come easily for Margaret Lewandowski, who struggles with painful memories and mixed emotions. “I can’t sign my name or even a letter; it’s very hard,” she explains. But even when hands and words fail, the group of artists supports each other, says Cynthia Sickler, activities assistant at the center, who began the program just over a year ago. “They are very kind to each other and we have a lot of fun,” Sickler said. Nationally known as “Memories in the Making” by the Alzheimer’s Association, the class is funded locally by the Maslow Family Foundation of Luzerne County. It meets once a week for two hours. “This is probably the most intensive one-on-one time they get every week,” Sickler said.
Persons interested in volunteering or purchasing note cards and art produced by residents should call the Alzheimer’s Association in Wilkes-Barre at 8229915.
Marie Borton, a former Dallas school teacher, picks up a paint brush during a class for Alzheimer and dementia residents at the Meadows Nursing Center.
“They open up; they take time to interact and they really do know what’s going on.” Sickler, who would like to see a permanent Alzheimer’s unit at the center, says it was difficult at first to get the artists to share and relax but the stressfree environment allows for easy communication, relaxation and tremendous validation for the residents. Scientists say the arts stimulate the parietal lobe of the brain, even in the very last stages of Alzheimer’s disease, to remember and respond. The seniors showed off their work on Aug. 26. The point of the exhibit is not so much about the results - although good art did result - but about the process which calls up emotions and memories first shared and then somehow calmed in the minds this numbing disease violates.

Cedar Crest Cemetery plot owners are being sought Cemetery Association struggling to maintain burial grounds located on Church Road in Trucksville.
The Cedar Crest Cemetery Association in Trucksville is seeking assistance from plot owners and descendents. Like many of the old cemeteries in Luzerne County, the Cedar
Crest Cemetery Association continues to struggle to maintain the burial grounds located on Church Road in Trucksville. In 2010, the board of directors started its search for plot owners
and descendents who would support its efforts to maintain the cemetery. The first step was to develop a mailing list. With limited funding and 25 names, an Annual Giving Drive was started in May 2010. Since then, the list has grown to nearly 120 names. Between May 1 and August 4 of this year, the cemetery association has received responses

from 62 donors. Thirty-seven are from persons who gave in 2010 and/or 2011 and 25 responses have come from new donors. Most gratifying are the number of responses from persons living outsideLuzerne County. Nineteen of the donors are from 14 other states. Some responses included notes saying how much it means to have people at Cedar
Crest and Trucksville who care. After Memorial Day 2012, the cemetery was inspected. It was noted that of the 70 plots visited and decorated, there is no record of 60 being on the donor list. Anyone who has names of potential donors to add to the association’s mailing list is asked to send them to Cedar Crest Cemetery Association, 40 Knob Hill
Road, Trucksville, PA 18708. The annual meeting of the association will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 in the William and Melba Dickson Educational Facility on Church Road, Trucksville. Plot owners, descendants and interested persons are urged to attend this meeting. For more information, call 6961332 or 696-2360.

Latter-day Saint teens stepped back in time to experience the handcart trek endured by their Mormon Pioneer forebears.
Dallas siblings give up modern day for spiritual It was 165 years ago that Brigham Young led the first company of Mormon Pioneers on an arduous, perilous trek across the Great Plains and into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. But to Jess and Nell Adams, of Dallas, the experience felt very real and recent. They, with139 other teens from congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, put aside the conveniences of modern living and stepped back in time for a physically taxing but spiritually enriching local re-enactment of the great pioneer trek of 1847 in the Michaux Forest at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The young people assembled at a youth camp owned by the church adjacent to the forest and each was assigned to a pioneer “family” – an adult “ma” and “pa” and 11 to 14 young men and women, ages 14 to 18. Replicating the experience of companies of 19thcentury handcart pioneers who lacked the advantage of ox-drawn covered wagons, they packed their belongings into wooden handcarts designed after those pushed, pulled and persuaded across rivers, over the plains and up the mountains by their forebears and set out on their shorter route. As a society, “we are very tech centered,” observed Jess Adams, 18, a 2012 graduate of Dallas High School who begins his freshman year at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, this month. “The
Trek experience made me realize that, although we don’t have to live like the pioneers did, we can pull ourselves away from the world and realize what’s important.” The first day the modern pioneers covered 12 miles of terrain selected by the activity’s organizers to mimic the challenges faced by their predecessors. Each trekker’s food ration for that rigorous march was one apple and one biscuit, with a dinner of beef bouillon and a roll awaiting them at the end of the day. Arising early the next morning, they breakfasted on mush and hit the trail again. While food was sparse, water was readily available and, with temperatures reaching as high as 98 degrees, the trekkers downed 500 gallons of it over the three-day event. To give the participants an appreciation for the sacrifice and ordeal experienced by some of the female pioneers who made the original trek alone or with young children and without a husband, father or other adult male, one particularly challenging part of the route was reserved for the “women’s pull.” The young men in the company were required to step aside, offering encouragement but no physical assistance, as the young women strained to push and pull the carts to the apex of a steep hill. “It opened my eyes to what women had to go through back then and just how strong and selfsufficient women can be,” Jess ex-
plained. Like the original handcart pioneers, the trekkers found themselves exposed to the vagaries of nature. A tornado warning and approaching 70-mph winds led to a change in course, a shared experience of prayer and a renewal of faith as the storm bypassed the group. The second day’s march ended at mid-day and the trekkers found a menu of activities awaiting them that exposed them to the practicalities and pleasures of pioneer life. They participated in pioneer games and square dancing, washed their hair with old-fashioned bar soap, made candles by a creek, shot cotton balls from period musket firearms and cooked dinner in Dutch ovens. The final day brought a twohour hike with the handcarts back to the starting point where cheering parents gave the weary modern pioneers a renewed burst of energy as they completed their trek. A barbeque brought the activity to a close. Nell Adams, 16, Jess’ sister and also a student at Dallas High School, spoke of the new perspective she gained from the experience. “It’s not just about dressing
up in funny clothes and going out to pull handcarts,” she said. “We didn’t do it just because we were made to but because we wanted to see what it was like. We had fun even though we were hurting the whole time. The best part was being away from the world and actually experiencing for myself what the pioneers went through rather than just hearing about it.” Ninety-two of the teen trekkers came from the nine congregations that constitute the Scranton Pennsylvania Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and 49 from the Williamsport Pennsylvania Stake’s seven congregations. In addition to the Adams siblings, participants from the Wilkes-Barre Ward, which meets in the Latter-day Saints chapel on Manor Drive in Trucksville, included Connor Jones from Dallas, Casey Bartoli from Exeter, Amy Alder and Theresa Mitten from Harding, Virgina Myrkalo from Inkerman, Wake Schepman from Hunlock Creek, Brian Schappert and Sean Webb from Kingston, Nicholas and Samantha Kohlert from Mountaintop, Sarah Scherer from Shavertown and Katy Dymond from Wyoming.

North Branch Land Trust members enjoy carriage rides with Will and Chris Conyngham’s team of Clydesdales, Bud and Beau, at NBLT’s Annual Members’ Picnic on the Picton Wildlife Sanctuary.
Carriage rides are a big hit at Land Trust members picnic North Branch Land Trust recently held its annual members’ picnic on its newly-acquired George and Lillian Picton Wildlife Sanctuary located in Foster Township. Highlights of the day were carriage rides with Will and Chris Conyngham’s team of Clydesdales, Bud and Beau, walks on the property led by naturalist Charlene Wildes, an introduction to geo-caching by David Estep and the unveiling of the sanctuary sign. This 412-acre property was owned by George and Lillian Picton who enjoyed watching their beloved wildlife so much they stipulated in their wills that the property should remain wild forever. Fortunately, they had a friend and confidant in George Daru, who, following their deaths, contacted the North
Branch Land Trust to place a conservation easement on the property’s deed to uphold the Pictons’ wishes and protect the property in perpetuity. This transaction was completed in 2008. In early 2011, the estate of George and Lillian Picton decided to donate the entire property to North Branch Land Trust who would be the best steward of the land and be in a position to promote the significant natural amenities found on the sanctuary lands. In May 2011, through the hard work of Mr. Daru, NBLT took ownership of the property. Over the past year, NBLT has been assessing the property for the potential for passive public recreation opportunities and placed it into the YMCA’s 2012 KAZ Passport program and cele-
brated its public opening at the annual members’ picnic. The property is divided into two major parcels. The 316-acre southern sanctuary located off Pond Creek Road outside White Haven is the larger of two parcels of land and is represented by a mature northern hardwood forest and two spring fed ponds. The 96-acre northern sanctuary located along Peat Moss Road hosts old hemlock forest, mixed oak forest and a vast marsh complex. Some wildlife known to frequent the sanctuaries include whitetail deer, fisher, black bear, raccoon, coyote, shrew, wood duck, grouse, kingfisher, blue heron, pileated woodpecker, great horned owl and a variety of song birds and other small mammals. Absolutely no hunting is allowed on the property.

Dallas Harvest Festival is celebrating its 10th year
Event set for Sept. 16 in and around Main Street in Dallas Borough.
The Dallas Harvest Festival Steering Committee announces plans for the 10th Annual Dallas Harvest Festival to take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16 on and around Main Street in the borough. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since a small group of Back Mountain residents got together to discuss visioning in Dallas. Weeks later, an even smaller group came up with the idea for a “street fair” in downtown Dallas and ultimately ran with the ball to put a local festival together in a matter of weeks. Whether through divine intervention or sheer luck, the first event took place on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2003 and played out without a hitch, laying the strong foundation for the awardwinning event that continues to bring the Back Mountain together for an afternoon of community and celebration of the region’s rich agricultural heritage. In observance of its decade-
long tradition, the Dallas Harvest Festival seeks to interact with the community in a special way this year - a “give back” to the thousands of people who visit Main Street each year. Among the planned commemorative activities will be “Best of Kiss the Pig” which will pit winner against winner to see who can garner the most votes (and the most dollars for charity). Vying for the privilege of kissing Dallas’ favorite potbelly pig are Dallas Borough Mayor Tim Carroll (2003), Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dodson (2006), Back Mountain Community News Publisher and past Dallas Rotary President Lisa Pretko (2007) and Dallas Middle School Principal Tom Duffy (2008). District Judge James Tupper will announce the winner during the festival. Meanwhile, watch for those pink-labeled jugs to appear in Back Mountain businesses and vote with a single $1 for the winner/charity of your choice. For further information, call the festival hotline at 675-1950 and leave a message or visit www.dallasharvestfestival.com.
Members of the steering committee planning the 10th Annual Dallas Harvest Festival are, from left, seated, Owen Faut, secretary; Rich Fufaro, chairman; Liz Martin, marketing; Kiss the Pig Contest. Standing, Judge Robert Opel, grounds; Karen Fiorello, vendors; John Cybulski, grounds and vendors; Dallas Borough Manager Tracey Carr, children’s activities; and Carol Wall, development. Absent at the time of the photo were Gina Major, entertainment; Maryann Ochman, co-chair, Kiss the Pig Contest; Carol Carroll, flower box competition; and Darcy Brodmerkal, volunteers.
Art exhibit celebrates Hillside Hillside Farms ice cream is a favorite at the Dallas Harvest Festival and this year’s festivalgoers can enjoy even more of Hillside Farms on Main Street, Dallas.

WVW QB too much for Dallas W
yoming Valley West junior quarterback Mike Baur ran for three touchdowns and accounted for 25 yards of offense as Wyoming Valley West knocked off Dallas, 28-14, spoiling the debut of Mountaineer coach Bob Zaruta. Baur completed 8 of 12 passes for 154 yards and rushed 21 times for 91 more. Dallas quarterback Ryan Zapoticky, an All-Wyoming Valley Conference selection last season, had a big game statistically. He hit on 16 of 24 passes for 172 yards, including a beautifully-placed 34yard TD toss to Derik Johnson in the third quarter. Even when Dallas moved within 28-14 on a 59-yard TD run by Kris Roccograndi with 9:47 to play, the Mountaineers couldn’t sustain the rally because of the pressure. Their final two drives ended at the Valley West 5 and 28 after Zapoticky had to hurry throws.

lthough Lake-Lehman and Old Forge were tied in the closing minutes of the first half, things fell apart so quickly for the Black Knights that it seemed Old Forge drove the ball in to the end zone just as fast as the Black Knights gave it away. The Blue Devils scored four touchdowns, all off turnovers, to turn a three-point lead at halftime into a 50-14 victory on Aug. 31 at lakeLehman High School. After giving up a first-quarter touchdown, Old Forge rattled off 42 consecutive points. Lake-Lehman dominated the Blue Devils defensive line on its first possession of the game. The Black Knights ate the clock on an 11-play drive that yielded a 15-yard touchdown by Dustin Jones. Jones carried the ball 12 times in the first quarter for 66 yards but picked up only 17 years on nine carries for the rest of the game.

Tight ends Lucas Shultz and Devin Richards, in addition to backs Jared Adamski, Duane Craig and Matt Lukasavage provided excellent downfield blocking on the TD drives. The offense moved the ball methodically with two long-scoring drives, adding up to the 12-0 lead. Right before halftime, the Back Mountain offense got on track, scoring a TD and 2-point conversion. Dallas received the kickoff in the second half, marching down the field and had first and goal on the Bobcats’ 9-yard line. Three penalties pushed Dallas back to the 29 and the Jr. Mounts punted. With the game on the line, the Dallas defense, consisting of Nick Spencer, Josh Peters, Sawyer Cristman, Nick “The Fridge” Binek-Moshey, Mitch Burgess, Mike Ropetski, Matt Esposito and Ayden Berndt had to come through to preserve the victory. The Bobcats went on a drive of their own, getting all the way to the Dallas 2 -yard line with just three minutes remaining in the contest.The Jr. Mounts defense stiffened with Brennan Eggleston making a touchdown-saving tackle, causing the Bobcat runner to fumble the ball into the end zone. Linebacker Mike Ropetski recovered. The Dallas offense took possession and ran out the clock by gaining two first down to seal the win.
