Building stronger families through science

By SUSAN DENNEY /Dallas Post Correspondent

ccording to Wycallis Elementary School Principal Paul Reinert, who introduced the second annual Family Science Challenge Night, the cafeteria was even noisier than during a busy lunch period. Thanks to elementary science coordinator Nicole Valkenburg, who also teaches fourth grade at Wycallis, the huge space was ﬁlled with excited families set for the challenge.

Over 70 families, including more than 250 people, signed up for the PTO-sponsored event. Valkenburg explained that she dreamed up the Family Science Challenge “to get kids excited about science.” She also said, “It’s hard to get families together.” The excitement and noise were due in part to the mystery of the event. Each family had been given a stapled brown paper lunch bag. No one, not even the other teachers, knew what was in the bags prior to the event. The bags contained a sheet of brown construction paper, a list of instructions and a 30-millimeter strip of masking tape. The challenge? To build a structure that would hold up as many textbooks as possible. The judging table held stacks of identical

Scouts go all out for the Back Mountain Food Pantry By CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dallas Post Correspondent

Dylan Pilger arrived at the Dallas United Methodist Church basement with his right arm in a sling. “It’s okay,” he joked, “I can always work with one hand.” The soon-to-be 18-year-old Boy Scout had jammed his arm at hockey practice the day before, ending up in the emergency room. On this day, his fellow Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 281 of Dallas were ﬁnishing up the collection of over 3,300 food items they had solicited from 17 neighborhoods for the Back

Mountain Food Pantry and Pilger wasn’t missing any of it. “I know there are people in need out there and I’m going to help out and give as much as I can,” he said The annual project started the weekend before when small bands of Scouts assigned to various neighborhoods distributed 3,400 door hangers. Running from door-to-door was hard enough in the wind and coldest weather yet this year. Drake Dettore had another perspective. See PANTRY, Page 7A

textbooks weighing 1.8 pounds each. Once the challenge began, the noise level dropped as families conferred about how to use the paper to build their structure. Many families opted to fold the paper and create a ring with tape. But other families folded their paper into a triangle shape or even built a platform with feet. Andy and Chrissy Popielarz, of Dallas, participated in the event with their children, second-grader Mary, ﬁrst grader Marie and 5-year-old Andrew. Mary said she was there “to have fun.” The family also competed in the event last year and Chrissy Popielarz said they decided See SCIENCE, Page 7A

Kingston Twp. EMS Fire and Rescue volunteer responder Lieutenant Jason Rose worked to rescue four people who fell through the ice on March 6 at Frances Slocum State Park.

BMT rescuer saves two from drowning By CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dallas Post Correspondent

While driving on Carverton Road past the Frances Slocum State Park boat launch on March 6, Peter Swaboski, of Dallas, saw two girls on the ice. Seconds later, he saw only one. Swaboski pulled a U-turn, stopped and called 911. The 911 dispatcher told Swaboski to stay off the ice and on the phone. The girls cried for help. He threw them a “tie down” from his trunk, but it was too short. Five or six miles away at his home on Dug Road, Jason Rose drank coffee and watched afternoon TV before his graveyard shift at Cargill in Wyalusing. “I got the call on my pager that there was a water incident at Frances Slocum,” Rose said. As a trained EMS responder, his mind went into water rescue mode. “I kept my sneakers on - boots would be too heavy - grabbed my life jacket and 100 feet of rope. I knew I had minutes to get down there and figured they would have been in the water 10 to 15 minutes before I got there.” Time, Rose knows, is critical in a water rescue. The three–year veteran volunteer from the Kingston-Trucksville EMS Fire and Rescue threw his truck into overdrive, his body pumped with adrenalin. Swaboski was only too happy to see Rose about three minutes after he made the 911 call. “He knew just what to do,” Swaboski said of Rose. But by then, another passerby, while trying to help, had gone out on the ice and fallen in. Now, there were three people in the water who needed to be rescued. Thoughtfully, Rose went for the girl who had been in the water the longest and who was screaming “Help me, help me.” The other girl had gotten herself out but now Rose had another ice victim to help. Keeping in mind that he needed to leave 10 to 15 feet between everybody he was trying to save (so that the ice wouldn’t give out), Rose was surprised when Kingston Twp. Officer Michael Huntzinger came up behind him. While trying to lift one of the girls, Huntzinger fell in the water, too, putting four people in the water. Methodically working the scene, Rose kept his focus on the girl, got her to shore then went back for the other passerby. The girl was numb, had no feeling and was pre-hypothermic was Rose’s evaluation. Meanwhile, Kingston Township Police Chief Jim Balavage, rope in hand, arrived at the scene and followed his own officer onto the ice. The rescuers made sure all were safe and on shore before they helped Officer Huntzinger out. “He said he was fine and that the water wasn’t all that cold anyway,” said Balavage, See RESCUER, Page 7A

DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT

Cheerleading coaches come under ﬁre By GERI GIBBONS Dallas Post Correspondent

Dallas School District cheerleaders and their parents addressed the school board at its March 11 meeting regarding varsity cheerleading coach Suzanne Powell. Jennifer Sorber, a middle school cheerleading coach in the district and parent, said her daughter was bullied by Powell and Sorber felt forced to protect her from verbal taunts during practices and games. “I’m also a coach and it is important to motivate those we coach but there is a line we, as coaches, do not cross,” said Sorber, questioning the appropriateness of Powell sending text messag-

es directly to those she coached. Lisa Cummings, parent of cheerleader Aneilla Cummings, 14, said many cheerleaders were afraid of the coach and many would not be trying out for the cheer team next year because of its reputation of negativity and drama. Several varsity cheerleaders Powell had coached addressed the board, indicating they had successfully cheered under other coaches but that Powell had labeled them as “starting drama” or not working hard enough. Powell, who limited her comments to the board, said that often it was sometimes necessary to offer strong directives to those she coached and cited improvements in the varsity cheer team

during the 2 ½ years during which she had coached. Karen Sebolka, who spoke in defense of Powell, said, “my daughter cheered under Powell and, although she wasn’t always happy, she learned responsibility and respect.” Several board members lauded those student cheerleaders who spoke before them as having courage and composure. Parent Lisa Alves, whose daughter Ashlie had originally addressed the board at a prior meeting, said she would have preferred to have addressed the issues in a private forum but that administrators had not responded to her request for a meeting between

administration and parents of district cheerleaders. In another matter, a plaque was presented in memory of Gary Mathers, who served the board as both a teacher and a board member. “His vision changed our traditional industrial arts program into a technologically advanced one,” said Frank Galicki, superintendent.“He was truly a front runner in that area.” Addressing security, Bill Gartrell, director of technology, presented a video demonstrating the use of cameras to increase awareness within district school buildings. Board members commented on the clarity and resolution of the streaming

video. Gartrell said when the project was complete there would be 111 cameras within district buildings. Gartrell would then move on to assessing and reﬁning the outside camera system. The district will utilize Ipads, cell phones and other devices, allowing administration, staff and local police access to the information streaming from those cameras. In another matter, Charles Preese congratulated Forensic team members for advancing to the Forensic National Qualiﬁers in Philadelphia in May. The next work session of the Dallas School District will be held at 7 p.m. on April 8.

Turf bid approved by Lake-Lehman By SUSAN DENNEY Dallas Post Correspondent

Plans for improvements to the Lake-Lehman athletic grounds made progress at the school board’s March 11 meeting at Lake-Noxen Elementary. The board awarded the bid for replacement of the district’s artificial turf to A-Turf, Inc., of Lancaster. The bid was not to exceed $468,000 and includes the removal of existing turf and installation of a new 10mm elastic rubber pad with a 25year warranty and artificial turf with a 12-year warranty. The board also approved a motion to advertise for bids to resurface the artificial running track. School District Superintendent James McGovern urged parents and residents to contact their state representatives about the grant package the district has submitted in conjunction with Jackson Township. The gaming grant would pay for the replacement of the turf as well as for other improvements, including a sand volleyball court and pavilion, two practice fields, an ice skating rink and a walking trail. The facilities would be used by the public as well as by the district. After the meeting, McGovern stated the bid was $35,000

CIVIC BRIEFS TV GUIDE MUSICAL PLANNED “The TV Guide Musical,” a musical revue featuring favorite theme songs and commercials from popular TV shows from the 1950s to the present, will be held today, March 17 at the Music Box Dinner Playhouse, 196 Hughes St., Swoyersville.

to $40,000 under what had been expected for the replacement turf. McGovern was asked about his hopes for obtaining the gaming grant. “If it goes by ambition and work, I’m 100 percent sure,” he said. He added that he realized there are many grant applications but said, “We’re extremely hopeful.” McGovern also said that, even if the grant is awarded, the district will continue with the planned “Knight of Mayhem” fundraiser set for June 1. Resident Kevin Salaway addressed the board by making what he called “an appeal for fairness.” He told the board about damage to his daughter’s vehicle by a snow plow on school district property. Salaway said he had been told the school district’s insurance did not cover the incident but that Salaway’s $500 insurance deductible would be paid by the district’s insurance. Salaway said the claim against his insurance would adversely affect his rates. It was suggested by several members of the board to have the vehicle repaired by the West Side Career and Technical Ccenter auto repair department. Kevin Koziol, of Harveys

BREAKFAST BUFFET SET The Noxen Volunteer Fire Company will hold a breakfast buffet from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, March 17 at the ﬁre hall on Stull Road, noxen.

Lake, made a presentation about theSMARTsub, a company which assists school districts in finding and administering substitute teachers.

Koziol said the sub program would make calls to potential substitute teachers, keep accurate records of all sub activity and charge school districts only for the actual number of substitute days used. A big part of Koziol’s program is his plan to return half the cost of the program to the district. Board members approved the following coaching positions: John Sobocinski, head coach for track and field at a stipend of $3,843; C. Wayne Oplinger, head coach for softball at a stipend of $4254; D.

sitting in his ofﬁce recalling the event. Balavage notes that, “It’s not the ﬁrst time this has happened. People fall into the lake regularly this time of year. Most get out by themselves.” Balavage is proud and happy with the 3-minute response time to the incident by all teams involved. Though professionally trained in ice water rescue, Rose had never actively participated in a water rescue and is having second thoughts about the ac-

cident. “It worked out but I did the wrong thing.” Rose explained. “Water rescue is a two-person team job. I should have waited for the other guys to get there but made the decision to go after them myself because, if they had drowned while I stood there and waited, I don’t know how I would feel.” Park manager Rex Bradish says that everybody involved, including ranger Darren Kramer who assisted in the rescue, should be highly commended. Bradish has since posted the area closed and hopes ﬁshermen and the public will heed safety precautions the state publishes for safety on and around ice.

Austin Harry moved four steps up the podium. Harry suffered his first two wrestling losses of the season March 7-9 at the Giant Center in Hershey, but he moved up from an eighthplace finish a year ago to fourth in the state with one more season remaining in his high school career. The Lake-Lehman junior now has three district titles, two regional titles and two Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AA state medals to his credit. “Coming into the tournament, obviously everyone wants to win it,” Harry said. “ … After that first loss, you can’t really hang your head. You have to come back and try to finish as high as you can.” Harry opened the state tournament by pinning Chase Schaeffer of Tri Valley in 2:44. Eventual finalist Nick Zanetta of Keystone Oaks ended Harry’s title hopes and ruined his perfect record with a 5-0 victory in the quarterfinals. Harry fought back through the consolation brackets to a top-four finish by winning three straight low-scoring decisions – 3-1 over Lee Todora of Bethlehem Catholic, 4-2 over Cole Walter of Mifflinburg in a rematch of the Northeast Regional final and 6-3 over Michael Comunale of Pius X. Ian Brown of Hanover defeated Harry, 5-0, to take third place. Harry lost three times at the state tournament last year, falling to eighth place after clinching a medal. “Being a sophomore, when I knew was going to place, I was happy knowing that no matter what, I would come out with a medal,” said Harry, who improved from 36-8 as a freshman to 39-4 as a sophomore and 41-2 this season. “This year was different.” Harry hopes to continue the climb in the year ahead. “Each year, you look at where you are in comparison with the other kids,” Lake-Lehman coach Tom Williams said. “He was eighth last year and fourth this year. He closed the gap some. “I think he also knows there is a little more work to be done.” Harry acknowledged that. “There’s definitely room for improvement,” he said. “I’m obviously not perfect. I have a lot of work to do on my feet and on bottom. I have to get stronger.” Williams said Harry has shown the willingness to do the work necessary to make those steps. “He’s an excellent leader,” the coach said. “He tries to use that ability to motivate the other kids on the team. He’s self-motivated. He will go and do some extra things outside of what we coaches have instructed him to do. He’s always looking for ways to get a little better workout.” As a result, Harry already has a 116-14 record with 58 pins and six technical falls with another year to try to add to those impressive totals – and his medal collection.

Steven Newell advances to states Steven Newell, a student at the Dallas Middle School, has qualifies for PJW state finals at Area X Sectional Qualifier in Tunkhannock. Newell moved on to Area X Regional Championships in Williamsport where he placed second to qualify him to the PJW state championship finals March 22 and 23 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg where he will face the best wrestlers in Pennsylvania.
