LoLLipops

Sarah Hastings adds food ﬂavoring to her homemade lollipops while her mother Allison Hastings and her sister Abby lend a hand.

help teach science By CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK - Dallas Post Correspondent

er Mom tried to talk her out of it. Her two older sisters were skeptical. They even walked her through a website called sciencebuddies.org that helps children ﬁnd their most perfect science project based on their interests, whether they are male or female and, most importantly, how much time they have – like, I need this project tomorrow! But 7-year-old Sarah Hastings knew she “just wanted to make lollipops” for her science project at the Dallas Elementary School and that she has until March 7 to ﬁnish it.

So the Back Mountain munchkin started gathering material and the annual science project began. She bought candy sticks, sugar, cream of tartar, corn syrup liquid, food coloring and borrowed a large metal candy thermometer from the Dallas High School cheerleaders, who always make their own lollipops. Then she bought the ﬁnal ingredient ﬂavor drops. “I don’t like fruit but strawberry sort of would be my favorite,” Sarah said. “Hey, it’s all liquid, right?” Sarah mixed and stirred, planning on three experimental batches. “My arms and hands got tired from the stirring,” Sarah said, easily engaging the help from her mother, Allison, and her two older sisters, Emma and Abby. There were so many questions, though “How do I know when the sugar is dissolved and what does ‘hard crack’ mean and why does it have to be sooooo…. hot?” every one involved asked. After all,

this was the first time any of them had ever made lollipops. We could make cookie dough instead and carve out the letters ‘Science’ and then we could all eat science,” Sarah quipped. After what seemed like an eternity, the batch reached a smoky 300 degrees and the strong flavoring was added. There was hope that the lollipops would really taste like strawberry and that the family sauce pan would survive, too. “Putting in the sticks and mixing were my favorite part,” Sarah said. Abby noted that the lollipops tasted like “burnt cough drops” and wondered if children at the school would eat the somewhat ‘burnt offerings” during the science fair. Like all good scientists, the trio agreed another batch was needed - this one with quality control in the name of science. And that was just fine with the girls and their mother.

Back Mountain Library book discussion group grows By MEGAN SCHNEIDER Dallas Post Correspondent

Mae Rome and many other residents of the Back Mountain have had the pleasure of participating in the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s monthly book discussion group since the club began in 1995. “When we started the book club, the library had a grant that paid for a facilitator,” Rome said, adding the facilitator chose the books and led the discussions. Unfortunately, the grant was only for one year. When the grant expired, club members took it upon them-

selves to continue the discussions. Now, each year, four or ﬁve members of the club have a chance to choose the titles and run the discussions. Books were chosen this term by Diana Dreher, Iran Fahmy, Patricia Crahall, Lori Stine and Rome. Some of the titles they have already covered this year include “Shanghai girls” by Lisa See, “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson, “Cutting for Stone” by Abraham Verghese and “The Fortunate Pilgrim” by Mario Puzo. The group will read the classic “Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain in April. “We get an opportunity to read books we wouldn’t normal-

ly choose,” said Rome. “It’s a lot of fun.” The book discussion group meets seven times a year on Monday morning and all members purchase their own copies of the books. Rome said the group tries to pick a good mix of ﬁction and non-ﬁction titles so there is something for everyone. This year, the club has 33 members and a waiting list of individuals wanting to be a part of the discussion. Due to the overwhelming number of participants in recent years, the library has decided to start a second discussion group. “We do have people frequently call about being part of the discussion group,” said Krista Connolly, circulation director of the library. Library Director Martha Butler said. “It’s an extension of the book club that is in existence and we are looking to give people the

opportunity to participate because the other one is filled. The other club was so full that people would end up on a waiting list.” The new book club hosted its first meeting on Feb. 28 with at least six members signing up in advance. The new group will meet on the last Thursday of each month and will have the opportunity to form its own committee and choose its own titles. Butler says the library is excited that the community is so involved that there is a need to create a second discussion group, and she hopes the new day and time will make it more convenient for those who want to participate. The library is confident the new group will be just as successful as the original. For more information on joining the Thursday Book Discussion Group, contact the Back Mountain Memorial Library at 675-1182.

A new eight-period hybrid block schedule will be implemented at Dallas High School next year, principal Jeffrey Shaffer told parents Wednesday night. Shaffer outlined some of the changes that will go into effect at the start of the 2013-2014 school-year during “Curriculum Night” in the school’s auditorium. The new schedule contains some elements of the current five-period block-schedule, but will allow more time for electives, Shaffer pointed out. Block scheduling is The new scheddefined as allowing students to have ule contains fewer but longer some elements classes per day with of the current each class lasting five-period more than 60 minblock-schedule, utes. This year’s in- but will allow ception of the new more time for Keystone Exam electives. prompted the schedule change. “If we stayed in a four to five period block, Keystone state courses would need to be year-long courses,” Shaffer said. Another change next year will be a new Career Awareness Program which allows students to explore multiple career possibilities. In January, the school board appointed Matthew Kelly and Nicole Darling as part-time Career Awareness Coordinators to work one-on-one with students. “The goal is for studetns to have an idea of what they want when they enter into college,” said Kelly. Students have until March 5 to choose their classes for the next school year. Upcoming freshmen will choose their classes with the help of middle school guidance counselors. Assistant Principal Brian Bradshaw demonstrated how to navigate the school’s Parent Portal on-line program. He encouraged all parents to enroll in the system to keep track of their child’s grades and attendance. “We’re a pretty good school district,” Shaffer said as he wrapped up the meeting. “Very rarely does a day go by when we don’t think or reflect how we can do things better. We’re committed to your child and try to give them the best education. The kids are our number one priority, plain and simple.”

strange but true By Samantha Weaver - It was screenwriter, playwright, novelist, director and producer Ben Hecht who made the following sage observation: “Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.” - Those who study such things say that the Earth spins faster on its axis in September than it does in March. - When the TV show “Bewitched” first started filming, the star, Elizabeth Montgomery, was just a month away from giving birth to her first child, so the first five episodes were shot almost in their entirety without her. It wasn’t until the baby was a few weeks old that she was able to go on the set to film her scenes. - If you’re a fan of the Beatles, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that during the decade of the 1960s, they had more top 10 hits and

more No. 1 records than any other recording artist. - Before the June 1944 invasion of Normandy, a crossword puzzle that was printed in the London Daily Telegraph contained the words “mulberry,” “Neptune,” “Omaha,” “overlord” and “Utah.” That may not seem to be a fact of much interest, but it turns out that those were all secret code words used by the Allied military in planning the upcoming offensive. The puzzle’s author, a schoolteacher, was tracked down and interrogated, but the puzzle’s content was ultimately chalked up to coincidence. - The country’s ﬁrst pay phone was installed in a bank in Hartford, Conn., in 1889. It cost 5 cents to place a call, the equivalent of $1.25 today. Thought for the day: “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” — Albert Einstein

MoMents in tiMe The History Channel - On March 17, 1762, in New York City, the first parade honoring the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is held by Irish soldiers serving in the British army. Early Irish settlers to the American colonies, many of whom were indentured servants, brought the Irish tradition of celebrating St. Patrick’s feast day to America. - On March 11, 1818, “Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus,” is published. The book, by 21-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, is frequently called the world’s first sciencefiction novel. - On March 12, 1933, eight days after his inauguration, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gives his first national radio address, or “fireside chat,” broadcast from the White House. Roosevelt made sure each address was understandable to ordinary Americans. - On March 13, 1944, Britain announces that all travel between Ireland and the United Kingdom is suspended, the result of the Irish government’s refusal to expel Axis-power diplomats within its borders.

Ireland stood its ground. - On March 14, 1950, the Federal Bureau of Investigation institutes the “Ten Most Wanted” list in an effort to publicize particularly dangerous fugitives. The creation of the program arose out of a news story in 1949 about the “toughest guys” the FBI wanted to capture. - On March 15, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress to urge the passage of legislation guaranteeing voting rights for all. On Aug. 6, 1965, Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. - On March 15, 1972, “The Godfather” - a three-hour epic chronicling the lives of the Corleones, an Italian-American crime family led by the powerful Vito Corleone - is released in theaters. “The Godfather” was adapted from the best-selling book of the same name by Mario Puzo. - On March 16, 1985, in Beirut, Lebanon, Islamic militants kidnap American journalist Terry Anderson. On Dec. 4, 1991, Anderson’s captors ﬁnally released him after 2,455 days. Anderson spent his entire captivity blindfolded.

Her entry, a cast paper sculpture of a black and white face, was her first project in this medium, which unlike paper mache uses only paper and water. 30 YEARS AGO - 1983 Boy Scouts from Troop 331 came home from a Polar Bear weekend at Camp Acahela with high honors last week.

Season comes to end for three BMT cage teams By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

High school basketball season came to an end in the Back Mountain in the District 2 Class AAA quarterﬁnals when three teams were eliminated. The Dallas and Lake-Lehman girls and Lake-Lehman boys all lost and had their seasons end in their second district playoff game. The Dallas boys had lost in the ﬁrst round. Despite the playoff losses, the three teams had varying degrees of success. Dallas won the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1 girls championship with an incredible effort in a playoff game for the title. In addition to a shock-

ing 74-44 rout of Pittston Area for the division championship, the Lady Mountaineers also handed Scranton Prep its only regular-season loss. Both Lake-Lehman teams posted winning records. For the girls, that included a 72-63 upset of rival Dallas behind a 33-point outing by sophomore Cayle Spencer. After going two decades without a winning record, the LakeLehman boys now have two straight winning seasons, even in a year where they moved up in classiﬁcation. The season ended Feb. 23 when defending champion Honesdale topped Dallas, 74-68, and top-seeded Scranton Prep, the Lackawanna League Division 1

champion, stopped Lake-Lehman, 54-39. Dallas finished 18-5 and LakeLehman went 15-9. The LakeLehman boys ended their 12-11 season the night before when they Johnson were beaten by Crestwood, 5644. Talia Szatkowski scored 18 points and Ashley Dunbar added 17 for the Dallas girls in the loss to Honesdale. The Lady Mountaineers fought back from a double-figures deficit but fell short. Dallas remained a threat in

the game because of its ability to run and push the pace with a pressure defense and a strong rotation of players off the bench. That formula is the one that overwhelmed Pittston Area in the division championship game. “It’s a faster-paced game,” Dallas coach Kelly Johnson said after claiming the regular-season title. “We’re forcing teams to run with us. We have the personnel to do that. “That constant in-your-face pressure has to be frustrating over the course of a game and I think that was to our advantage.” The Lady Mountaineers were stronger because of the variety of weapons they had.

“If you don’t have the personnel, it’s hard to play that style,” Johnson said. Senior point guard Ashley Dunbar, who was named Player of the Year in Division 2 last season, was the Division 1 Most Valuable Player in all-star voting by Wyoming Valley Conference coaches. Szatkowski, a sophomore who led the defensive pressure with her energy, and Jess Hiscox, a senior who was the top outside shooter, were both ﬁrstteam division all-stars. Senior post player Tanner Englehart was a second-team choice. Katy Comitz, who came off the bench for 15 points in the division playoff game, was selected to the third team.

The Dallas football program honored 10 individuals for their performances in the 2012 season during its banquet Feb. 24. Kris Roccograndi was named Most Valuable Player, Ryan Zapoticky was named Offensive Player of the Year and Zach Macosky was named Defensive Player of the Year. Buddy Shutlock, Logan Bullock, Jason Simonovich, John Murray, Ryan Monk, Justin Mucha and Ryan Kozloski were also recognized. A look at each of the awards: • Shutlock received the Tony Lucidi Memorial Award. The two-way tackle and team captain was selected for the award, which was created in 2002 to recognize passion, commitment and dedication to the Dallas football program. • Bullock, a two-way lineman, received the Unsung Hero Award. • Simonovich was named Impact Player of the Year. “We asked so much of him,” ﬁrst-year coach Bob Zaruta said of Simonovich. “We used him as wide receiver, tight end and in motion as a lead blocker. We switched him from defensive back to defensive end and he made so many huge plays for us.” • Murray, a safety, was the Most Improved Player. • Monk, a sophomore, received the Strong Man Award as pound-for-pound the strongest player on the team. “It is amazing what he does in the weight room,” Zaruta said. • Mucha, another sopho-

At Lake-Lehman, the wrestling season typically begins with the goal of ultimately winning the District 2 Class AA Tournament championship. For the second straight year and the 22nd time in school history, the Black Knights accomplished that goal when they won the team title on their home mat Feb. 22-23. Lake-Lehman wrestlers collected their individual medals, including four golds and five silvers, when the tournament came to its usual Saturday evening conclusion. The team title essentially was decided, however, when that day’s activities began. LakeLehman opened the second day of the tournament by going 9-1 in the semifinal round, earning its nine championship round berths and the points necessary to separate from Western Wayne. “Winning nine of 10 in the semis is huge,” Lake-Lehman coach Tom Williams said. “Basically, where we sealed it was with the really strong semifinal performance.” Lake-Lehman has a total of 10 wrestlers in action at this weekend’s Northeast Regional Class AA Tournament, trying to earn spots in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association championships in Hershey. Although team scores are still kept, the large number of schools involved and the prestige of participating in the state tournament turn the emphasis to individual performances at this stage. The Black Knights were still thinking about team goals last weekend, however. Lake-Lehman and Western Wayne went head-to-head three weeks earlier with the District 2 Dual Meet Championships at stake. The Wildcats won that

battle of teams who went unbeaten in their divisional regular-season schedules, taking the Dual Meet championship, 28-28. The Black Knights immediately set out for their original goal and a measure of revenge in the rematch. “Once we got beyond the team tournament, we set our sights on this one,” Williams said. “We worked hard to make it happen. “We have a good number of kids who are pretty battle tested in tournament settings.” In dual meet competition, teams go head-to-head, matching their entire lineups just as they do in a regular-season meet. At the tournament, wrestlers work their way through separate brackets in each weight class, scoring points for the team with each win and with their final placement. “I think we have a pretty strong tournament team,” Williams said. “We have several strong individuals who are likely to place.” Those individuals combined for a 216-197 team advantage over Western Wayne. Wyoming Area, which matched the four champions by Lake-Lehman but did not have any other finalists, was a distant third with 139.5 points. “We didn’t match up very well with Western Wayne as a dualmeet team,” Williams said. “It’s all in how you match up and we didn’t match up well, particularly at the lower weights.” As a tournament team, the Black Knights proved to have more top-end wrestlers. LakeLehman led Western Wayne, 4-3 in champions, 9-7 in finalists and 10-8 in regional qualifiers. Austin Harry (132), Derek Dragon (170), Brady Butler See WRESTLE, Page 8

(182) and Dustin Jones (285) all won titles for the Black Knights. Harry defeated Blue Ridge’s Zach Edwards, 6-3, in a meeting of returning champions. He remained unbeaten with consecutive decisions after a 37-second pin in the quarterﬁnals. “Austin Harry had a very workmanlike tournament,” Williams said. Dragon, a sophomore, defeat-

Butler dominated his weight class. After a pair of first-period pins, he shut out Elk Lake’s Isaiah Ofalt for a 10-0 major decision in the final. Jones fought his way to the title, knocking off second-seeded Justin Barber of Lackawanna Trail, 9-3, in the semifinals and top-seeded Elijah Greshman of GAR, 5-4, in a championship match that went to the ultimate tie-breaker format. “He had two tough matches,” Williams said. “He showed he has worked his way back into shape.”

ed Brandon Hadden of Western Wayne, 8-3, in the final. He got there with two pins, including one in his first bout to fight off a potential upset by Nick O’Brien of Wyoming Area. “It was a pretty gutsy performance,” Williams said of the matchup between the top-seeded Dragon and O’Brien, who was much tougher than an eighth seed, but missed so much time this season that he did not accumulate the points necessary for a higher seeding. “That was big for us. We didn’t want to lose him on Friday night.

John Tomasura (113), Zeb McMillan (120), Josh Winters (145), Robert Wright (152) and Phil Hettes (195) each ﬁnished second by advancing to the ﬁnals where they suffered their only loss of the tournament. Kody Pachamovitch fought his way back from an early loss with two straight pins and a one-point decision for third place and a regional berth at 220. Josh Sayre fell one step short by taking fourth at 138. In Class AAA, Dallas tied for fourth out of 15 teams at Hazleton Area.
