The long-awaited news that the senior center in Dallas is scheduled to reopen in the Twin Stacks Center on Memorial Highway came this week. After receiving several responses to its latest request for proposals, the Luzerne & Wyoming Counties Area Agency on Aging presented and gained approv-

Remembering and teaching By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider @mydallaspost.com

When members of the Dallas High School Student Leadership and Civics Club realized that many students in grades nine through 12 have no memory of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, they focused their Patriot Day Commemoration Program not only on respect and mourning, but on education. “We’re at the age group now where not everyone knows what 9/11 is,” club president Marcus Wagner said of the program held Tuesday in the Dallas High School auditorium. Wagner, now a senior, told his personal recollection of not understanding what was happening but knowing something was wrong. Principal Jeffrey Shaffer opened the event, stating “Our seniors were in first grade, our juniors were in kindergarten

and the rest of our student body hadn’t even started school yet.” Shaffer went on to share a personal story of the loss of a friend and explained to the students the importance of remembering the events of 9/11. All members of the Student Leadership and Civics Club and Boy Scout Troop 281 participated in the event. Speeches were made by Wagner, vice president Blake Donovan, secretary Nora Tidey, treasurer Rebecca Schnable and members Rudy Georgetti and Skyler Velazco. The National Anthem was sung by Civics Club member Rebecca Darling. Students Patrick Newhart and Kristian Dyrli performed “Gone Without Goodbye” written by Brian Littrell. The program included a video montage, created by members of the Civics club that presented a timeline of events of that day depicting the terroristic strikes against the Pentagon and the Twin Towers in New York City, as well as the fate of Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. There were also explanations of the short and long-term effects of the tragedy, a detailed description of the memorials at Ground Zero and examples of how people around the country have handled the grief process. “My piece is focused on why we remember,” said Donovan, whose speech closed the presentation. “The biggest part of remembering is understanding.”

Friends, family run toward a cure By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent

The largest private team in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Scranton last weekend included about 35 Back Mountain residents. Sponsored by the Ice House Pub in Mountaintop, the 170-plus member “Stop Cancer Cold” team included breast cancer survivors Chris Ostroski and Kathy Bufalino, both of Shavertown. Over 10,000 people took part in the annual 5K run/walk event to benefit breast cancer patients. The Ice House Team

raised over $5,000, said Ostroski, 43. After posting the event on Facebook, Ostroski said the number of people wanting to join the team grew rapidly. “I invited people and those people invited people,” she said Ostroski, who was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago, credits early detection for saving her life. “The key is early detection,” she said. “If you find a lump, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid to go to the doctor. There are so many advances in medicine, and it may be something that can be treated very easily.”

A decade ago, Ostroski and Bufalino were neighbors when they both lived in Plains. When Ostroski heard through mutual acquaintances that Bufalino, 44, also had breast cancer, she invited her to be on the team. Diagnosed last February with the beginning stages of breast cancer, Bufalino also credits early detection for saving her life. Comparing past mammograms, which Bufalino has undergone annually for the

last four years, doctors noticed a small change in the most recent test. “There were calcifications in a grouping,” she said. “Thankfully, it was caught early.” Bufalino participated in the race as a way to “give back” to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. After undergoing a lumpectomy and radiation, she received physical therapy a few times a week at Allied Services John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. Persistent swelling in her arm delayed Bufalino’s return to her job at Apple Tree Nursery and Primary School in July. To aid in the swelling, Bufalino’s therapist ordered several compression items, costing roughly $300. “I was overwhelmed when my therapist said they’d be covered by the Susan G. Komen Foundation for first-time cancer patients,” she said. “It brought tears to my eyes.”

YOUR SPACE Dallas resident Jane Brennan caught this double rainbow after a thunderstorm in Ocean City, Maryland.

Vintage silhouettes display at library Joan Taylor of Shavertown, will display her collection of vintage silhouettes at the Back Mountain Memorial Library during the month October. Joan’s collection consists of items she has purchased over the past 30 years. She states that she has a “love of vintage items.” Her favorite pieces are “those vignettes that tell a story” and the “Lady in Her Boudoir” is one of which she is especially fond. Joan enjoys going to estate sales and, even though she does not go specifically to find silhouettes, if she sees one she likes, she will purchase it. Her advice to people who also enjoy collecting is choose “what catches your eye and what you enjoy looking at.”

MOMENTS IN TIME By Samantha Weaver • It was American singer Josh Groban who made the following sage observation: “There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.” • If you’re considering having a child sometime in the near future, you might want to consider this: It’s said that the cost of caring for a newborn during its first year of life is more than $6,000. • In 1986, actor and director Clint Eastwood took on a new and unfamiliar role: political candidate. He ran for mayor of Carmel, Calif. He defeated the incumbent mayor in a landslide, and he kept the position for two years. His salary? A whopping $200 per week. • Often these days you’ll see someone carrying a tiny dog around with them, but you might be surprised to learn that this is not an entirely new fashion. In ancient Rome and Greece it was not uncommon for a noble lady to carry her tiny Maltese dog around in the sleeve of her robe. • In the early days of motion pictures, Will H. Hays became known as the “Czar of Hollywood.” He presided over the earliest incarnation of the MPAA, charged with ensuring the morality of movies. Some of the changes the so-called “Hays Office” insisted upon were removing the image of a cow’s udder from a Walt Disney cartoon; and removing any direct reference to adultery in the 1935 adaptation of the Tolstoy novel “Anna Karenina” - despite the fact that Anna’s affair is at the heart of the novel. • Those who study such things say that a woman’s sense of smell tends to be better than that of a man. ••• Thought for the day: “I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

20 YEARS AGO – 1992

40 YEARS AGO - 1972

Franklin Township Fire Company will hold its seventh “Country Music Jamboree” Sunday September 20 to raise funds for a new fire truck. Committee members involved in planning the fund raiser include Mark Rogers, don Rogers, Corey Rogers, Derek Rogers, Jeff Sudol, Amy Rogers, Debbie Jones, Louise Sandor, George Sandor, chairman, Howard Joes, Nick Rusinko and ONLY YESTERDAY Fred Risch. In the Family Day competition at the Luzerne County Fair, Jennifer Dombroski, 10, of Dallas, was named Junior Princess. Fifty-six girls, ages two to 10, participated in the competition.

President Richard Nixon’s visit last week to flood-stricken Wyoming Valley touched off a spark of controversy less favorable to his upcoming election in this region than perhaps any trip the most widely-traveled U.S. President has made to date. Not only did Gov. Milton Shapp release some rather strong remarks about the Nixon visit, but a host of flood victims have been irked as well. In both cases, the secrecy of the trip seemed to be the central issue. Fifteen Back Mountain youngsters rose to great heights this past summer with their participation in the library’s special reading program. They are Becky Jones, Tracey Hughes, Sharon Partridge, Elizabeth Spencer, Susan Dreher, Mary Spencer, Linda Kuras, Lisa Loke, Judy Loke, Michael Polk, Ann Spencer, Mary Lou Williams, Cheryl Todd and Michelle Crabtree.

30 YEARS AGO – 1982 Winners in the Back Mountain Art Contest, sponsored by Sue Hand of Dallas, included Michele Pallis, Eric Paczewski, Libby Davies, Todd Paczewski, Nikki Reisinger and Hugh Mundy. Kim Lamoreaux, a Back Mountain girl, is one of the contestants in the initial “Miss Luzerne County Fall Fair” pageant this year.

60 YEARS AGO – 1952 Mrs. Jean Kuehn, Dallas, was one of the three women recognized as founders of the organization at a luncheon of North Eastern Pennsylvania Regional Conference of Republic Women held Thursday at Irem Temple Country Club. Jane Cave, fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Cave of Idetown, is attending the National Youth Convention at the Episcopal Church in Boston this week.

70 YEARS AGO - 1942 Gerald Frantz, Huntsville merchant, has been appointed the third member of the Dallas Rationing Board which will open on October 1 in remodeled offices in Oliver’s Garage. Mrs. Clarence Laidler has been appointed clerk and Fred M. Kiefer has been elected chairman of the three-man board. Classes in Home Nursing were started Monday evening at St. Theresa’s Church in Shavertown. The classes will be led by Mrs. Charles Wagner, R.N. and are sponsored by the local Wyoming valley Chapter of the American Red Cross. Information for “Only Yesterday” is taken from past issues of The Dallas Post which is 122 years old. The information is printed here exactly as it appeared in the newspaper years ago.

Bloombers plan fall luncheon

Rehearsing for ‘The Greater American Trailer Park Musical’ to be presented at the Music Box Dinner Playhouse are, from left, first row, Amber McKenna, Jessica Werbin, Cate McDonald. Second row, Ryan Engle, Amanda Reese, Scott Colin and Dana Feigenblatt.

‘Trailer’ pulls up to Music Box “The Greater American Trailer Park Musical” is pulling up to The Music Box Dinner Playhouse starting on Sept. 21 and continuing through Oct. 7. Frequently compared to both TV’s “Desperate Housewives” and theater’s “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” this funny, sexy, bawdy, R-rated musical tale is seasoned with a murderous ex-boyfriend, an electric chair, the Ice Capades and a gorgeous stripper on the run who comes between a Sally Jessy loving agoraphobic housewife and her love-starved, dim-witted husband. With guidance from a singing Greek chorus of trailer park divas residing in Armadillo Acres, a Florida mobile home community, this side-splitting musical ranges across the American Radio dial from country to blues to rock to disco to bump n’ grind to R&B. Music and lyrics are by David Nehls with a book by Be-

tsy Kelso. Director Dana Feigenblatt has assembled a truckload of talented musical and comedic actors to tow this mobile home musical home. All cast members are highly recognizable Music Box veterans, including Jessica Werbin, Cate McDonald, Amanda Reese, Scott Colin, Amber McKenna, Ryan Engle and Feigenblatt herself. Scenic and lighting design is by Michael Gallagher and costume design is by Amanda Reese. Performances of “The Greater American Trailer Park Musical” will be held at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. Sundays with a scrumptious buffet dinner to be served 90 minutes prior. The show contains adult content and language and is recommended for mature audiences only. Tickets are now on sale for dinner and show and show only

Phillips, Newell combine for TD Youths enjoy the annual boys basketball camp held recently at the Lake-Lehman High School.

Camp allows youths to learn the game

The Lake-Lehman School District held its annual youth boys basketball camp recently. Jared James organized the camp as his senior project with the help of his varsity coach Brian Cutter and members of the varsity basketball team, including Adam Dizbon, Cody Paraschak, Ben Pilch, Tyler Bonner, Bill Hillman, Mike Simeon and Kyle

James. The camp ran from July 16-20 and was attended by 40 youths. This year’s camp saw a wide variety of both boys and girls from the Lake-Lehman and Dallas school districts whose ages ranged from 8 to 13. They were instructed on new stretches, drills, movies and fundamentals of the game and were all able to see im-

provement in their skills throughout the week. The camp also saw guest appearances from Trevor Woodruff, head basketball coach at Misericordia University, and John Szela, director of Proshot Basketball Camp, who both worked with the young cagers on shooting and ball handling drills. Each participant received an

NBA t-shirt and Lake-Lehman hand towel. Others prizes, such as basketballs, arm sleeves and medals, were distributed to the winners at the end of the camp. The camp concluded with a pizza party in the cafeteria for everyone who attended. All monies raised will help support the Lake-Lehman basketball program.

B TEAM Dallas 20 WWWE 12 The Dallas Jr. Mounts and the Wyoming/West Wyoming/ Exeter Panthers squared off in the battle of the unbeatens on Sunday with the Jr. Mounts coming away with a 20-12 victory. The Panthers took an early 6point lead, but Dallas countered with a Todd Phillips to Steven Newell touchdown pass. Sean Cuba, Matt Fararra and Blake Chopyak provided the protection and opened the holes the offense needed. Newell added two secondhalf touchdown runs. Then Hunter Love, Jack Zeyher and Xander Shaner and the rest of the Dallas defense took over the game. Love made multiple stops in

the backfield as the Panthers kept trying to get to the outside but he wouldn’t let them. Next up for the Jr. Mounts are the Kingston Huskies. D TEAM The defending 2011 Superbowl champions, the Dallas Jr. Mounts D team has started the 2012 season off with another solid round of victories. After four games played, the Jr. Mounts have a 3-1 record posted for the season so far, with an upcoming bye today, Sept. 16. After the bye, they will have an impressive 4-1 record on the season so far. For their season opener on Aug. 19, the Jr. Mounts scored on the first offensive play of the game with a 60-yard touchdown See YOUTH, Page 15

Dallas quarterback Ryan Zapoticky runs around the end as Abington defenders pursue in the second quarter of play.

Soggy loss for Dallas The violent wind blew the heavy rain nearly sideways at times at Mountaineer Stadium last Saturday afternoon while fans held tightly to umbrellas, some of which blew inside out when greeted with biggest gusts. First-year Dallas football coach Bob Zaruta cited reasons other than the weather for this team’s 28-7 loss to Abington Heights – mistakes and missed opportunities. One big mistake came on the ensuing kickoff after Dallas took a 7-0 lead on a 31-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Zapoticky to Darik Johnson at 2:56 of the first quarter.

Another came late in the third quarter when Abington receiver J.C. Show got past the Dallas secondary, hauling in a 55-yard touchdown pass for a 21-7 lead. The Mountaineers pulled off a successful fake punt after the second Abington fumble - successful until the Comets recovered a fumble at the end of the run. Abington scored its last touchdown with 7:38 left in the fourth quarter when the Comets took advantage of a short punt and Dallas’ inability to sniff out a screen pass. on a fourth-and-7 on the 11-play, 32yard drive. Dallas football fans weather the storm while watching a game against Abington Heights.

son, Dallas traveled to the Wyoming/West Wyoming/Exeter Panthers on Sept. 9. Led by a stingy defense and a hard-running offense, the Jr. Mounts scored three touchdowns and one 2point conversion, winning 20-8. All season long, the Dallas D team has consistently marched the ball down the field with running backs Gavin Adamski, Ryan Cuba, Jace Chopyak, Joey “Missile” Peters and Mark Karcutskie sharing ball carrying duties. The offensive line, consisting of Nate Malarkey, Brady Rosencrans, Andrew Bednar, Nick Farrell, Dylan Geskey, Cody Konnick and Lucas Tirpak, has opened holes and blocked hard all season long. The defensive line, led by Joey “Missile” Peters, Colby Klinetob, Keith Hughes, Luke Hajkowski, Noah Moran and Caleb Palmer

has consistently been in the opponents’ backfield, repeatedly making plays and stopping opponents. Defensive backs and linebackers Nick Fine, Mason Calvey, Myles Tirpak, Gavin Adamski, Mark Karcutskie and Ryan Cuba have kept the rest of the offensive opponents in check, helping the Jr. Mounts grab three victories in their first four games of the season. The Jr. Mounts’ next game will be at home against Swoyersville on Sept. 23. The Dallas Jr. Mounts D team is led by four dedicated coaching staff members: head coach Fred Rosencrans, offensive coordinator Mark Karcutskie, defensive coordinators Bob Klinetob and Frank Geskey.

CENTER Continued from Page 1

Dallas residents on Oct. 1 with opening hours of 10 am. to 2 p.m. The new Dallas center will provide hot meals and activities to senior citizens of Dallas and surrounding areas. Computer classes will be offered as will exercise programs for the younger population, ages 60 to 65, which doesn’t normally attend the centers. “We hope to increase participation so we can expand the hours in the future,” said Hollywood. The new facilities fulfill the wants of the Agency on Aging,

“We are really excited about finally having a new Dallas Center. Trula Hollywood Executive director, Luzerne & Wyoming Counties Area Agency on Aging

which previously told The Dallas Post it wanted to be “more visible in the community.” “We have unique benefits,” Banta said of the Twin Stacks Center. “The lot is well lit and it is close to the gym and the day care center, so there is a lot of synergistic potential there.” Banta went on to describe the strong professional relationships she continually finds among Twin Stacks tenants and thought the senior center would

be a good fit. She may be correct. Hollywood has already spoken with the owner of Big Bear Fitness, who was willing to discuss discounted rates for senior center members. “We are really excited about finally having a new Dallas Center,” Hollywood said. The agency plans to host an open house ceremony at the end of October at a date to be announced.
