Veteran’s impart life lessons to youths Lake-Lehman honors local Vet’s with a question and answer style discussion.

The video began with a simple yet profound statement: “Freedom isn’t Free.”

That message opened the Veterans Day program at LakeLehman High School Thursday morning and was followed by the presentation of the Colors

by Boy Scouts Jared Casaldi

from Troop 281, and scouts John Nowak and Connor McCue from Troop 444. State Rep. Karen Boback and many of the veterans sang along while the chorus performed the Star Spangled Banner.

Lehman’s program was both informative and emotional. Coordinated by language arts teacher Gail Honeywell, speakers included veterans, those who are currently serving, parents and children of enlisted military. Everyone offered a unique perspective to students.

Boback, who serves as an ad-

vocate of veterans, asked the students if they had family who had served in the military or who are now serving in the armed forces. The majority of them raised their hands, underscoring the importance of remembering those who serve.

Ninth-grader Courtney Eiswerth asked Lake-Lehman Superintendent James McGovern what it was like as a parent to have a son at West Point and to know that he could be deployed.

McGovern said his son A.J. See VETERANS, Page 10

Voting turnout strong

R

esidents from the Back Mountain lined up to cast their votes for the 2012 elections on Nov. 6.

Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Mitt Romney weren’t the only names on the ballot.

First-time runner Aaron Kaufer ran against veteran state Rep. Phyllis Mundy for the 120th Legislative District seat.

Gene Stilp contested U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta in the 11th Congressional District and Tom Smith took on U.S. Sen. Robert Casey Jr. for a Senate seat.

The polls were busy at all locations with Dallas Borough seeing a steady flow in the early morning.

Resident Linda Zanelli said the most important for her was the debate over health care.

“I work in the health care field,” said Zanelli, “and the outcome really determines so much for everybody.” Zanelli, who vot-

ed for Romney added: “We need a change.

Obama tried but he just couldn’t accomplish it.”

Sister of Mercy Catherine McGroarty disagreed.

“Our country is in a terrible state and we need the right person to pull us together,” she said. “Someone that has experience.”

McGroarty voted for Obama because she felt his experience in the position and with foreign governments would give him the upper hand in dealing with economic issues and that he simply did not have

enough time during a four-year term to accomplish everything that needed to be done.

First-time voter Nicole Clemson, a Dallas High School senior, arrived at the polls at 9 a.m. with her mother to cast her vote.

“I’ve seen some positive changes and would like to see it continue,” Clemson said. Her mother Trudy Clemson said, “I’m just so excited that she’s voting. It’s worth going in late to work just to have her See VOTING, Page 10

Dallas High School to open student run store in lobby

By Megan Schneider mschneider@mydallaspost.com

Dallas High School plans to open a student-operated stored called Mountaineer Market. The store will serve as a fundraising tool for the school and a handson classroom where students can learn job skills such as keeping inventory, practical math, cash handling and work-related social skills.

Principal Jeffrey Shaffer and Functional Learning Support Teacher Rachel Sutliff, with the help of several teachers, Robert Williams from Misericordia Uni-

versity and the Dallas Foundation, have looked at other schools with bookstores and decided to take the idea a step further.

“Many of these stores are run by the student government.” said Shaffer, “but we wanted to incorporate a learning experience.”

The market will be open in the mornings before classes begin, during lunches and in the evening during athletic events.

Shaffer says the store will carry school supplies, including notebooks and pens, student-made scarves and hats and Mountaineer gear.

50¢

Money was donated by the Dallas Foundation to the school for the purchase of point-of-sale software so that the store will be able to accept credit cards. Williams taught project administrators to use the new POS software in late October.

Mark Golden, Robotics and prototyping teacher, and his students are in the process of designing shelving units for the store which will be housed in the same location as the current student-run branch of the P&G Credit Union in the high school.

An opening date for the store has not been set.

The Mountaineer Market will be run by students.

Changing tools of media shared

Local woman helps to bring blogging and social media education to NEPA.

By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com

In a business world that is rapidly changing, Internet marketing and the digital possibilities it encompasses can be intimidating for some professionals. Others are embracing it.

One Back Mountain resident is not only active in the new realm, but is bringing the knowledge and expertise to other professionals in NEPA. Michelle Davies, of Sweet Valley, is a 10-year veteran blogger of NEPA helping to educate the area on the benefits of blogging and social media.

An IT engineer for WNEP-TV O N L I N E and a part-time student at Lu- For more zerne County information on BlogCon or Community Col- on Davies, lege, Davies visit nepamaintains two blogcon.com. regular blogs.

The first is a personal blog where she writes about anything that might be on her mind such as the neighbors, tech topics or family.

The second is NEPAblogs.com, where she writes about topics important in the area.

Davies also assisted in hosting the first big blogging conference in NEPA, BlogCon on Sept. 29 at Luzerne County Community College.

The event featured sessions on social media, blogging, content strategy, search engine optimization and much more. It was a comprehensive Internet education for anyone with an interest in promoting themselves or their business online. The event was organized entirely by local professionals in the field, a group that calls itself the “Fearsome Foursome” and consists of Davies, Carla Porter, Mandy Boyle and Leslie Stewart. Each member of the group played a specific role in the event and each had her own expertise to offer the group.

Davies was the IT specialist, the master of presentations and updated the website in the months prior to the event. But BlogCon was only a side gig for her. Her busy life might make you question how she could possibly have time to not only learn, but also teach the ins and outs of internet marketing. We caught up with Davies and had the opportunity to discuss with her, how and why she makes the time.

Q: Why did you begin blogging?

A: “I’ve been doing it a while. I started years ago on DiaryLand and moved onto my own domain.

I just saw other people doing it and I said, ‘I can do that.’ It really just helps me to get something off my chest and out of my head.”

Q: What keeps you writing?

A: “I like knowing I might be helping someone. A lot of people who read blogs are just looking for someone to connect with.”

JACKSON TOWNSHIP

Sponsorship of grant is under review

Board hears queries on taxes

Grants with BMCP and Misericordia discussed at work session.

By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com

Mark Van Etten explained the details of the proposed Back Mountain Community Partnership Local Share Account grant to Dallas Township supervisors at a public work session on Nov. 5. Van Etten said the grant is being written by the NEPA Alliance and the amount requested has not yet been determined.

Vice Chair Elizabeth Martin agreed to have Dallas Township sponsor the grant at the October partnership meeting. Van Etten said this meant all money, should the grant be approved, would be passed through Dallas Township.

Conrad Higgins asked to which municipality property purchased through the grant would belong since the township sponsors the grant. Van Etten said the municipality that requested the equipment will own it.

Martin would like to include a regular partnership report in the township meetings.

The board discussed lending its support

to Misericordia University for a proposed LSA grant to install sidewalks from the campus to Center Hill Road. There have been concerns for student safety when they walk along the roadside to reach local businesses.

Since the sidewalk would sit on a PennDOT right-of-way, an agreement would have to be reached and engineering estimation costs would be the responsibility of the university. The board agreed to support the university in looking into the process. The board felt it would be a beneficial project for both businesses and residents of the university and the apartments near Center Hill Road.

The board discussed the ongoing dispute between Dallas Fire and Ambulance and Kunkle Fire Company regarding lines of responsibility. Dallas Fire Chief Harry Vivian reported that the two have reached an agreement on the areas of Lower Demunds Road and Spencer Road, but are still trying to reach an agreement on a wooded area between Brown’s Field and Martin’s Pond.

A meeting was planned for this weekend with the Kunkle fire chief to review maps and make a decision.

Roadmaster Martin Barry asked the board to consider the installation of a manual switching station when planning

the 2013 budget. The township purchased an Army surplus generator in 2007 to power municipal buildings in the event of a power outage. For the past several years, the township has set the switching station aside in lieu of other projects but, with the recent power outage resulting from Hurricane Sandy, Barry feels the switching station should be regarded as a priority for next years budget.

Barry also reported that the repair of problems on Old Highway Road associated with Stall Shaffer Engineering were scheduled to begin Nov. 5 and, weather permitting, finished by Nov. 16. The areas being repaired are Old Highway Road at Martz Lane, areas around the mobile home park and the access road near the ballpark. Barry didn’t know who had been contracted to do the work, since the township is not responsible for repairs.

Supervisors approved Barry to submit 10 problem streets for estimates to be classified for weight restrictions. It was noted that these restrictions would offer exemptions to local businesses. Martin said she would raise the issue of assessments at the Back Mountain Community Partnership meeting so adjoining municipalities with connecting roads would be aware of the assessments.

In other business:

• Van Etten announced that Lehman and Dallas Fire and Ambulance are prepared to move forward with a merger of their forces, an alliance nearly four years in the making, in January. He stressed that none of the services would change and that the workman’s compensation insurance would remain with the municipality of the worker.

• Chief Vivian submitted a proposal for an ordinance allowing the Dallas and Kunkle Fire companies to bill insurances for costs generated by response to calls.

• Sergeant Doug Higgins requested the board consider an investment of approximately $1400 for the purchases of a bar coding system for the police department’s evidence locker.

• The board authorized advertisement for two DAMA board members and a zoning board member.

• The board noted it is time for the county to perform its five-year update of the 2009 Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan must be updated so residents will be eligible for flood insurance.

• The board congratulated solicitor Thomas Brennan for receiving the Luzerne County Bar President’s Award.

The regular meeting of the Dallas Township supervisors will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 20 at the municipal building.

Concert to benefit Cleary Memorial Fund The Back Mountain Men’s Ecumenical Group is sponsoring its second concert to benefit the First Lieutenant Michael Cleary Memorial Fund. Held at 7 p.m. on Nov.11at the Shavertown United Methodist Church.

Performers will include Father James Paisley of St. Theresa’s, Pastor Gideon Gaitano of the New Life Church, Barbara Roberts of the Step

By Step Praise Band, the Shavertown UMC Chancel & Bell Choirs and more.

There are less than 400 seats available at $5 each. Seats may be reserved by calling John at 479-2307.

The BMMEG is creating a program for this event. Several pages are dedicated to those people who would like to honor any veteran, living or dead. The listing will include the honored veteran and the name of the person(s) honoring him or her.

A listing of patrons who wish to donate to the Lt. Michael Cleary Memorial Fund is also being created.

The cost for each listing is $5. To have a listing in either category, call Phil Brown at 696-3385 or 443-6057162 (cell).

Carla and I started talking about an event that was more like the name suggested where people could discuss blogging and where you could learn.

Residents concrned about 2011 tax refunds.

By MEGAN SCHNEIDER mschneider@mydallaspost.com

Tax collector Jackie Latosek attempted to find answers to residents’ concerns about income tax returns from 2011 during the Jackson Township supervisors meeting on Nov. 5. Latosek says she has received calls from residents who have yet to receive their returns from last year. She noted that the township and school districts are short on tax revenue as well, but wanted to know if there was someone residents could contact to get their returns.

Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said the only thing residents can do is to contact their state representatives to put pressure on the companies to pay. He said, at this time, Berkheimer is not processing 2011 returns and the process is stalled in court. He added that municipalities and school districts will receive tax dollars before individuals.

Jackson Township is behind about $179,000 in tax revenue, which accounts for approximately 22 percent of its income.

Malak reported the township received word that it is in compliance with DCED for flood plans.

The board authorized Malak to post a second advertisement for a part-time police officer as the first advertisement received only one applicant.

Supervisors also requested Malak to contact Larksville Borough in an attempt to reach an agreement on the maintenance of Steele Road.

For years, the two municipalities have shared the responsibility for the road, but Larksville Borough fell behind on its end of the financial responsibility. Back maintenance fees have been paid, but now the two municipalities need to come to a new agreement before the end of the year or terminate the contract.

Chairman John Wilkes Jr. announced that the yard waste and recycling center will be open from 8 a.m. to dusk on Sunday, Nov. 11 and Sunday, Nov. 18 for those residents who suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy.

Then next Jackson Township supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 3 in the municipal building.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On Nov. 12, 1864, Union Gen. William T. Sherman orders the business district of Atlanta destroyed before he embarks on his famous March to the Sea through Georgia to prevent the Confederates from recovering anything once the Yankees had abandoned it.

• On Nov. 16, 1901, a low-slung car called the “Torpedo Racer” basically a square platform on bicycle wheels - breaks the world speed record for electric cars in Coney Island, N.Y., by going 1 mile down the straight dirt track in just 63 seconds. That’s about 57 mph.

Today the world speed record for an electric vehicle is about 245 mph.

• On Nov. 15, 1943, Heinrich Himmler makes public an order that Gypsies are to be put on “the same level as Jews and placed in concentration camps.” Himmler was determined to prosecute Nazism racial policies, which dictated the elimination of all races deemed “inferior” and “asocial.”

• On Nov. 13, 1953, a member of the Indiana Textbook Commission calls for the removal of references to the book “Robin Hood” from textbooks used by the state’s schools. She claimed that Robin Hood was a communist because he robbed the rich and gave it to the poor.

• On Nov. 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets - and no one sees it. In a debacle which would become known as “Heidi Bowl,” with just 65 seconds left to play, NBC broke away from the game to air its previously scheduled programming, the movie “Heidi.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver • It was Scotsman Bertie Charles Forbes, journalist and founder of Forbes magazine, who made the following sage observation: "There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than in being a tenth-rate executive."

• The prospectors of 1849 might not have realized it, but you’re more likely to find a 5-carat diamond than a 1-ounce nugget of gold.

• Coffee beans are actually seeds. The fruit of the coffee tree is called a cherry and are said to be delicious. They spoil too quickly to be marketed effectively, though, so only the seeds are used.

• All joking aside, those who study such things say that natural blondes tend to have more difficulty driving than those whose hair is of a darker hue - at night, anyway. The reason? Most natural blondes also have blue eyes, which aren’t as good as brown eyes at shielding out light. This means that blondes tend to be more easily blinded by the headlights of oncoming cars.

• When a professional football player retires, there’s a 50-50 chance he’ll get divorced within a year.

Dallas was scheduled to play at Berwick (9-1) in the D2-3A semifinals on Saturday.

The Mountaineers won their seventh consecutive game and were kept alive for a district spot when Coughlin defeated Crestwood.

vote.”

Clemson was not the only first-time voter at the polls. Misericordia University helped to register its students at various polling locations, allowing for students from out of the area to cast their votes with ease.

At the Dallas Township Municipal Building, 19-year-old Brian Eshleman, a Misericordia student from Lancaster County, voted for president for the first time.

“I’m a Republican; so are my parents,” said Eshleman. “We need to get back on track and out of debt and I think Romney is the man to help us with that.”

Eshleman admitted it felt strange voting for the first time and that it made him feel “a lot more grown up.”

Fellow Misericordia student, A.J. Mancini of Pittston cast his first vote based on the debates.

“I watched the debates and I looked for certain points,” he said, adding the most important issue to him was having a job when he graduates from college.

State Rep. Karen Boback visited more than 25 polling locations on Election Day, wrapping up the day in Harveys Lake where she cast her own vote.

“I just felt it was important to say thank you,” she said.

Boback said many people brought their children along to the polls and recalled attending polling places with her parents as a child, adding she was happy to see so many parents involving their children in the process.

Boback, who has been a state representative since 2006, shared a story of her father who used to say “you don’t have any right to complain unless you’re willing to do something about it.”

She attributes her father’s influence to her willingness to help others. “I’m very grateful to the people I have the privilege to represent and I will continue to serve them to the best of my ability,” she said.

The Trucksville church was bursting with voters and volunteers all day long. Church members held an Election Day Café and bake sale, offering lunch specials to hungry voters on the run with proceeds benefiting homeless shelters.

The line of voters wound through the inner workings of the building and down the front sidewalk. There was some speculation that the polling location was down two machines, but volunteers confirmed there were the same 10 machines the location has every year.

Wyoming Area teacher turned political

supporter Lisa Barrett was outside the church to show her support for Mundy. She had been at the church since 7 a.m. and intended to stay until 8 p.m.

“We owe her a lot for what she does for our kids,” Barrett said of Mundy. “Twelve or 13 hours is the least I can do to show my support.”

Voters agreed this election was an important one for everyone and many expressed how nice it was to see so many exercising their right to vote.

decided as a freshman that he wanted to join the military. “It was just something inside of him that spoke to him,” McGovern said. “It’s something I think about every single day. It’s something I talk with my wife about all the time. Even though there is great fear and anxiety, there is also immense pride,” McGovern continued, “that my child has that belief and that fire that he would put the lives of others before his own and it feels like we must have done something right along the way.”

Ninth grader Alivia Harrison asked students Miranda and Katie Hutchins what it is like to have their father serving overseas. The girls’ father served during Operation Enduring Freedom and is presently deployed. “Just knowing our father is out there fighting all of these wars and being deployed to all these different places is very scary. You really never know if he’s going to be okay,” they said. “It’s very scary.”

Other members of the panel included teachers Ryan Lindbuckler, Bill Kvashay, Shane Kubsky and MaryAnne Maxfield; Navy reservist Jerry Price who served in Iraq and Afghanistan; tech Sgt. Jason Piper in the U.S. Air Force; Airman Patrick Garrison; Senior Master Sergeant Glenn Perkins of the U.S. Air Force; 2nd Vice Commander George Tucker of the Dallas American Legion; J.R. Sperl of the U.S. Navy and Korean War Veteran Jim Baloga.

All of the veterans responded to the question: “What are your regrets and the rewards of service?”

Tucker said he volunteered to go to Vietnam. He recalled that at age 19, he was the oldest in his unit. He said he has no regrets, except that many of his friends didn’t make it home.

The panel members agreed that they had no regrets about their service and that the rewards were priceless. They echoed one another, response after response, on the life lessons that military service

taught them. Many attributed their service to teaching them discipline, maturity, and responsibility that have served them throughout their lives.

Students lined up to thank family members for their military service. Family members were mentioned by name from current service, back to WWI. Tucker thought that the panel discussion format for a Veterans Day program was a great idea, especially for the younger generation. “A lot of people don’t know what really happened, and a lot of things aren’t in the history books,” Tucker said.

Piper said “I think it’s great because we get to hear what the kids want to know about us.”

All of the participants agreed that getting to talk with the children about their service was something they were excited to do. Teaching our youth through their memories and experience about patriotism, duty and responsibility is just another service these men and women offer to our country.
