REMEMBERING COREY
After months, Back Mountain seniors celebrate new center in Twin Stacks Building. By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com

Seniors from the Back Mountain greeted one another with excitement and hugs at the opening of the new Senior Center on Wednesday morning. The new center, located in the Twin Stacks building in Dallas, has long been anticipated by the area seniors, many of whom have traveled to other center locations since March. The previous senior center closed earlier this year due to safety issues. “It’s the first thing everyone notices,” said Doris Hughey, as she joked with other members about how level the floors are in the new center and explaining that the floors in the old center were warped and unsafe. The center offers hot meals, activities and computer classes for seniors 60 years of age and older. But the members offer one another so much more. Ladies exchanged recipes and stories over coffee and greeting

Carrying on the memory of a fellow Eagle Scout By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com
Members of Scout Troop 281 in Dallas have had a difficult year. They have had to deal with the loss of a friend, classmate and fellow Scout Thomas Lynch who died in a car accident on his way to school on Feb. 3 An Eagle Scout from Dallas, Lynch continues to positively affect his peers, his troop and Scouting. To achieve the rank of Eagle, a Scout must meet three qualifications. He must have tenure, he must have met the badge requirements and he must complete a leadership-based community service project, all before he reaches the age of 18. Thomas Lynch accomplished those tasks. Casey McAndrew from Boy Scout Troop 155 in Trucksville had not. McAndrew considered dropping out of Scouting after spending months trying to decide on an appropriate project to take him to the next level. With time running out, he was discouraged. “I had a lot of trouble finding an Eagle project,” he said. When McAndrew learned that his childhood friend Lynch had left behind an unfinished Scouting project, he knew what he had to do. The project was to build information kiosks at three locations on the Back Mountain Trail. Lynch had completed the planning, approvals and fundraising. “You couldn’t say no to Tom,” troop leaders joked about Lynch. Lynch had also designed the
kiosks prior to his passing and successfully installed the first at the Trucksville Fire Hall entrance to the Back Mountain Trail. Troop leader Bob Pilger, whose son, Dylan, was a fellow Scout of Lynch’s, assisted Lynch with the project. When Dylan learned that McAndrew was having difficulty finding an Eagle project, he suggested his father talk to McAndrew about the project Lynch had left behind. McAndrew whole-heartedly took over Lynch’s project and dedicated his share of the project to Lynch. McAndrew admitted the project was a lot of work, but he knows it was worth it. “Just knowing Tom, you get to know these kids in a special way,” said Pilger. “And knowing that someone else picked up
where he left off is huge.” McAndrew and helpers completed the second kiosk at the Carverton Road entrance. The third is planned for a section of trail not yet completed. In a special dedication ceremony on Sept.15, the first site, completed by Lynch, was dedicated to the leaders of Boy Scout Troop 281. The second site, completed by McAndrew, was dedicated to the memory of Thomas Lynch. “I was very happy and I think Tom would have been very happy,” said Liz Lynch, Lynch’s mother. “Casey will always have a special place in my heart because he did this.” Troop leaders and Scouts agreed that Thomas Lynch was a person of great character. “Even See SCOUT, Page 11

Don’t miss the Fall Rollout today Children of all ages will enjoy the array of equipment and vehicles that will be on display from 1 to 5 p.m. today, Oct. 7 in Dallas. Meanwhile, adult residents will enjoy learning more about their community and the services offered in Dallas Township. Dallas Township’s Fall Roll Out will take place on the municipal grounds at 2919 SR 309 Highway, in Dallas (Just above Thomas’ Market). Participating in the event will be the Dallas Township EMA, Police Department and K-9 Aron and Road Department; Dallas Fire & Ambulance and Kunkle Fire & Ambulance companies; and the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA). Dallas Township administration and personnel will also participate. Special additions to today’s event will include VIN etchings by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Auto Theft Task Force. VIN etching is a countermeasure to
vehicle theft that involves etching a vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) onto its windows to reduce the value of a stolen vehicle to thieves. This service is provided free of charge in an effort to reduce vehicle theft. The Dallas and Kunkle Fire & Ambulance companies will join forces to conduct a hot dog sale, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Dallas High School Lock-in. Visitors will meet K-9 Aron, Dallas Township’s own canine police officer, and children will enjoy a “smoke house” simulator, face painting, goodies and giveaways. This first-ever community event is open to Dallas Township residents and their families; and is also open to the general public. There will be limited parking on-site, as well as overflow parking at the Back Mountain Medical Center, 100 Upper Demunds Road.

Businesses plan Insurance, police are big issues festival to combat road construction DALLAS TOWNSHIP
By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com
Businesses surrounding the bridge construction on East Center Street in Dallas have been feeling the pressure from the loss of the intersection in early April. Patronage has decreased because accessibility to the buildings has been limited. In order to combat the negative effects of the construction, the surrounding businesses have banded together to hold a Fall Festival from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14 on Main Street in Shavertown. Studio 309 Music Antiques and Collectibles, Dallas Sporting Goods, Mary’s Flower Garden, Purple Paper Eaters and Buka will all participate in the event. The festival will feature live music by local artists, hot cider and donuts, vendor tables and a guitar give-away. The event is intended to remind patrons

that these businesses are open. Greg Williams from Studio 309 hopes that the new intersection will be good for his store, but in the meantime, he hopes this event helps create awareness for all businesses affected by the construction. - Megan Schneider
JACKSON TOWNSHIP
Drainage issues are still resident’s concern Resident Sharon Ellsworth expressed her continued concern over drainage issues on Timbergrove Road at the Jackson Township supervisors meeting on Oct. 1. Ellsworth addressed the issue several years ago with the supervisors and has been fighting for a resolution for almost10 years. A meeting was scheduled for the following morning with township supervisors, Ellsworth and the utility representatives to discuss what can be done to correct the situation. Ellsworth is particularly concerned about large rocks washing down onto her property and the potential for damage. In other news … • Resident Mary Dockeray requested that a summary of the township bills be included in supervisor meetings so taxpayers know what is being paid each month. She also asked that the information discussed at the compost meetings in Exeter be addressed at township meet-
ings. Township Supervisor Tim Evans informed Dockeray that the information in question is available anytime at the township office but that supervisors would take the suggestion under consideration. • The board approved the yearly update to the SCI-Dallas emergency plan and authorized the solicitor to draft a new Floodplain Ordinance as required by FEMA. • Supervisors authorized an advertisement for a part-time police officer. • Ellsworth brought to the board’s attention that recent police reports are not available online. Evans thanked her for the information and agreed to look into it. • The next Jackson Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Nov. 5 at the township building on Huntsville Road. - Megan Schneider

Dallas Township received a status update from DGK Insurance and Financial Services regarding its upcoming selection of insurance policies and providers at the supervisors work session on Oct. 2. The township is expecting five quotes from four carriers. Since this is not a bidding process, the township is not required to accept the lowest premium proposed. The board also heard from Dallas Fire & Ambulance regarding the proposal of an ordinance allowing the fire company to bill insurance companies for its services. Dallas Fire provided supervisors with a copy of the current ordinance in effect in Dallas Borough and supervisors came to the decision that a proposal should be made at the October meeting. Supervisors discussed updating telephone, internet and wireless services, allowing them to save the township a combined $2,000 annually. Annual contributions to charity were noted as $1,000 to the Luzerne County SPCA, $4,000 to the Back Mountain Library and $1,000 to the Visiting Nurses Association of America. The board agreed to check the status of the VNA on the grounds that it may no longer be a nonprofit organization. Police Chief Bob Jolly addressed the board about the parking problem in College Manor as a result of overcrowding from Misericordia University. Supervisors they would discuss
Jolly also brought up the need for Dallas Township to hire a part-time officer. He said the township regularly pays overtime hours to the full-time officers, and that thus far the department has not had any health concerns or accidents, but it should prepared should the need arise. Supervisors agreed it would be in the best interest of the township for both financial and managerial reasons to propose the hiring of a part-time officer at the next meeting.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver • It was Canadian American educator Laurence J. Peter who made the following sage observation: “You can always tell a real friend: When you’ve made a fool of yourself, he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.” • In Murfreesboro, Tenn., it is illegal to keep indoor furniture outdoors. • Mike Edwards, one of the founding members of the British band Electric Light Orchestra, met with an untimely death decades after he left the group. In 2010, as Edwards was driving in the rural southwest of England, a farmer lost control of a 1,300-pound bale of hay. This wheel-shaped bale rolled down a hill and over a hedge, and just happened to smash into the van that Edwards was driving. • The humble honeybee is the official insect of 17 states. • Those who study such things say that there is a 1 million to 1 chance that, within the next century, an asteroid will crash into the Earth and destroy most life on the planet. • In 2008 a company called Defense Devices, based in Jackson, Tenn., introduced a new item: a stun gun disguised as a tube of lipstick. The same company offers a ring that will shoot pepper spray. • You might be surprised to learn that the giant bullfrogs of South Africa have sometimes been known to attack lions. • Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it has the longest name: It’s officially known as the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation. • The tuatara is a lizard that can be found in New Zealand. Its claim to fame? It has a third eye, on the top of its head. ••• Thought for the day: “The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.” Alfred Hitchcock

‘Cheer for a Cause’ honors coach Two Lake-Lehman students began the Cheer for a Cure in 2007 when one of the Junior Knights coaches was diagnosed with breast cancer. With the help of cheerleaders and area businesses all over the Wyoming Valley and beyond, the girls raised over $8,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Altogether in the past five years, the event has raised over $36,000 for different charities. The Cheer for a Cause (as it has been renamed to better suit the mission) is a cheerleading competition held for cheerleaders all over Wyoming Valley and beyond. Each team brings donations for the charities chosen by the senior girls who sponsor the event. In addition, there are basket raffles, t-shirts, food and other items for sale. All proceeds are donated to the charities the girls have chosen. This year the event is slated for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Lake-Lehman High School. Proceeds from the Sixth Annual Cheer for a Cause will be split between Candy’s Place and Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF). Candy’s Place is a resource center for Cancer Patients. CCF is a non-profit organization that focuses on research for pediatric

seed in the playoffs with a victory. C TEAM Kingston Twp. 20 Ed-Lark 12 The Kingston Township Raiders C team upended the Ed-Lark Hurricanes in a decisive 20-12 victory on Sept. 30. Ethan Capitano scored on both a 52-yard and a 43-yard touchdown run and led the team with 157 total yards. R.J Wren connected with Jacob Koretz for a 12-yard touchdown pass after Nick Nocito set up the play with an impressive 30-yard run. The Raiders defense held the Hurricanes to only two touchdowns. Cole Vonderheid, Jack DelGaudio and Jack Luke contributed to the team’s victory. The C Team improved its re-
cord to 5-2 on the season. Dallas 16 Swoyersville 6 The Dallas Jr. Mounts C team picked up a pair of wins the past two weeks, beating Swoyersville, 16-6, and West Pittston, 14-6. In the Swoyersville game, the Jr. Mounts held an 8-6 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Swoyersville offense took the ball inside the red zone where the Dallas defense stiffened, keeping the Sailors’ offense out of the endzone with a goal line stand, throwing Swoyersville back four consecutive times. The Dallas offense took over and executed a 99-yard drive, capped off by a Brennan Eggleston touchdown. The drive took most of the time off the clock and put the game out of reach for a Swoyersville comeback. Against West Pittston, the stout Jr. Mounts defense once again played exceptionally, giving up an early TD but nothing afterward. In the fourth quarter with the clock running and the score tied

But she was pleased with the new location. “I’m glad they got out of there,” she said of the former building that housed the senior center. “We waited a long time for this,” said Hughey.
