End of tax collection woes for Jackson Township LL board

By SUSAN DENNEY Dallas Post Correspondent

Jackson Township solicitor Jeffrey Malak announced at the April 8 supervisor’s meeting othat township revenues are finally caught up after difficulties caused by the Don Wilkinson/ Centax agency.

Supervisor Allen Fox added, “Since Berkheimer took over, there’s been a big improvement.”

Fox pointed out three other indica-

tions that things are improving in the township and started by reporting that recycling is going well in the township.

The township’s recycling center is open from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Fox said compost is available at no cost to residents and that many are taking advantage of this resource.

He also reported that the construction of the township playground will resume and that a soccer field will be

created at no cost to taxpayers as the cost of creating the field has been donated by a township resident.

Jackson Township supervisors announced the winning of a gaming grant they applied for in conjunction with Lake-Lehman School District has been awarded. The grant will provide for improvements to district’s sports facilities, including a walking trail and new turf for the district’s football field.

Fox pointed out to residents that

skillful grant writing ensured the project would be completed at no cost to township residents and that all fees had been included in the grant.

In regular business, supervisors authorized the township engineer to advertise for bids for a stormwater improvement project on Timbergrove Road.

The supervisors also approved the See COLLECTION, Page 9

Susan and Jim Schilling, of Dallas, receive a framed baseball shirt (#31) from Dylan Pilger and members of the Dallas baseball team. The Schillings’ son, Jason, a former member of the team, was killed in a car accident in December.

REMEMBERING JASON

By DOTTY MARTIN dmartin@mydallaspost.com

J

ason Schilling had such an impact on his Dallas High School baseball teammates that his memory is guiding them through their current season.

Schilling was an outfielder for the Dallas High School baseball team for three years. His jersey - No. 31 - was not issued to any player for this season and his teammates will hang the jersey in the dugout every time it plays a game.

A 2012 graduate of Dallas High School, Schilling died Dec. 1, 2012, when the automobile he was driving crashed into a tree on Carpenter Road in Dallas. His friends have created a living memorial at the tree.

Prior to the Mountaineers’ game against LakeLehman last week, members of the team invited Schilling’s family to be part of a sideline ceremony where they were presented with a framed t-shirt made to look like a Dallas High School baseball jersey with the No. 31 on it. The jersey has Schilling’s initials and the initials of Ron Noyalis on the sleeve. Noyalis, father of former DHS baseball standout Marc Noyalis, was killed last year while clearing trees.

Jim and Susan Schilling and their son, Ste-

The tree on Carpenter Road in Harveys Lake that Jason Schilling crashed into has been made into a living memorial by his friends.

phen, were all on hand at the informal ceremony.

“It was very emotional,” Jim Schilling said a few days later. “To me, it’s clearly a testament to the kids and the coaching staff. The gesture speaks to the goodness in their hearts and the compassion they have for Jason.”

Schilling admitted that being present at the Lake-Lehman baseball field was difficult for him and his family but couldn’t say enough about his son’s baseball teammates.

“They all gathered around us and patted us on the back,” he remembered. “It was very moving, very memorable.

“The reality of it is that he is no longer with us,” Schilling continued, fighting back tears.

“But these kids have made it their cause to keep him with them and they have brought some sunshine into our lives.”

Schilling also reported that team members sold stickers with his son’s inititals on them to players who wanted to wear them on their batting helmets. The more than $100 raised was donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, an organization near and dear to Jason Schilling’s heart.

Ashbridge remembered as Prince of BMT Library Auction, advocate for public good

By CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dallas Post Correspondent

If the red sliding door to the auction barn behind the Back Mountain Library was open, more than likely Ernie Ashbridge was in there - moving furniture, dusting and carefully arranging the over 600 antiques the library planned to sell in July.

Ashbridge would wave guests in, gently and jovially inviting them to look around and ogle at the treasures he found during the year. All were welcomed, strangers and friends.

“Just be careful not to bump into anything,” he would say.

This will be the first time in more than 57 years Ashbridge will miss the event to which he devoted so much of his life.

Ashbridge died Tuesday, April 12 at the age of 82.

Ashbridge was passionate about helping the library make as much money as possible from the sale of the antiques.

Though a registered professional auctioneer since 1978, he cared little for the limelight on stage, preferring to work behind the scenes, “gathering things” as he called it.

He would sometimes bid on an item himself if he didn’t think the auctioneers were get-

ting a high enough price. He knew the value of the antiques he had bought and would wince when the price was too low.

Ashbridge served on the board of directors of the Back Mountain Memorial Library and several times as its president since the early 1980s.

“Ernie was a person that made everything run smoothly,” said Martha Butler, director of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. “He took care of all the details but was not afraid of big decisions either See ASHBRIDgE, Page 4

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAs pOsT

Ernie Ashbridge, a long-time volunteer for the Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction, died this week.

The Lake-Lehman School Board will enter into a win-win contract to increase energy efficiency at the district’s buildings.

At its April 8 meeting, the board of education approved the execution of an agreement with CM3 Building Solutions for a guaranteed energy performance contract.

This type of contract provides energy-saving equipment. Under the contract, the equipment is guaranteed by the state to produce savings equal to or greater than the amount of the amortization payment on the loan. Energy efficient boilers, windows and lighting might be part of the energy savings package.

The board hired Stevens & Lee, P.C. as bond counsel for the project and PNC Capital Markets LLC as project underwriter.

The board also accepted the $65,000 bid of All American Tracks of Amherst, Ohio for resurfacing of the athletic field’s running track.

Superintendent James McGovern had lots to brag about in his remarks. He honored three students from Ross Elementary who were state winners of the ZanerBloser writing contest. Sarah Bednarek, Andrew Jubis and Karlee Kreller received certificates from the district. In a special moment, McGovern called board member Bo Kreller up to present his daughter Karlee with her certificate.

McGovern also acknowledged the winning History Day team at the high school.

The superintendent also gave credit to a number of Lake-Lehman school district employees and volunteers for pulling off a minor miracle in gaining a $500,000 gaming grant for improved sports facilities.

McGovern said the district’s grant writing process was only begun on Dec. 10, 2012 with a deadline of Dec. 31 of the same year. He praised Lori Bednarek, special projects coordinator for the district, for the success of the grant.

According to McGovern, the district is committed to providing all new facilities and improvements asked for in the grant even though the district had requested more than $800,000.

McGovern announced that Saturday community work days will help make up the discrepancy in funds. He also said the district’s large fundraiser, the Knight of Mayhem, will still take place on June 1 even though the cost of the new turf is being provided by the grant.

The board also accepted, with regret, the resignation of Mary Slaby, a language arts teacher; Nancy Walters, elementary/ remedial reading teacher; and Catherine Wolfe, a language arts teacher. The teachers were praised for their contributions to the district.

The board’s next regular meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 13 in the library of the Junior-Senior High School.

ASHBRIDGE

Continued from Page 1 and was interested in and encouraging to the library staff.”

Ashbridge and his wife, Betty, of Shavertown, became involved in volunteering at the auction in 1959 when Betty was the antiques chairman. Ernie took over the position and volunteered for the next 50 years until 2009 when he stepped down for health reasons.

The pair was inseparable - Ernie moving the heavy furniture while Betty cleaned and catalogued it all. They ran an estate sale business together, suggesting to families to donate leftovers from a sale to the auction.

In addition to his wife, Ernie leaves behind a son, Ernie III, daughter Robyn Carson and three grandchildren, Ernest Anew Ashbridge, A.J. Carson and Amanda Carson.

During the 2009 library auction, Sue Hand, an area artist and yearly contributor to the auction, painted a tribute to Ashbridge. The painting was bought by a group of about 40 individuals from the community, some contributing as much as $1,000, netting thousands of dollars for the library. The picture was then given to Ashbridge as a token of his 50 years of service to the auction.

Ashbridge’s largesse and comforting spirit extended to the greater Back Mountain community, as well. The retired Hanover Bank executive served on the Dallas School Board for 32 years, 15 years as its president, and represented Dallas on the West Side Vo-Tech board.

“He was the man behind the scenes of so many successful Back Mountain community endeavors that today make such a difference in our community.

We rode on his expertise,” said State Rep. Karen Boback, who

JASON

Former Dallas High School baseball player Jason Schilling is always in the hearts of members of the Mountaineers team as they hang his shirt in memory of him for every game and every practice.

Continued from Page 1

“When Jason died, we requested donations be made to the soup kitchen,� said Schilling, noting that he had presented four pages of names of people who donated and received the nicest letter about Jason and how respectful he always was when volunteering at the soup kitchen.

The Schilling family is reminded every day of the number of lives touched by Jason and Jim Schilling recounted a conversation he had with his son on their way to a Penn State football game a few years ago. “We talked about someone who was having a party and Jason told me he would never be able to have a party,� Jim said. “I told him I found that hard to believe but he said he was friends with so many people that if he invited them all to a party, it would be a total disaster because it would not be a good mix.�

Schilling cherishes the memory and knows the afďŹ nity his son had for all kinds of people, remembering Jason’s infectious smile and the dimples that would show on his face whenever he ashed that smile.

About the unveiling of the framed baseball jersey, Schilling said, “It takes us back to the loss but when we see how many lives Jason touched, it gives us comfort.�

Dallas High School baseball coach Ken Kashatus called Schilling the team’s Renaissance Man. “You could have an adult conversation with him about more than just school and baseball,� Kashatus said. “We talked about movies, music and restaurants.

I like all those things and it was easy to engage Jason in a conversation about any of them. Thats what made him different from a lot of the guys I coach.�

The Dallas women’s lacrosse team is happy to be playing on its new field next to the new high school complex in Dallas.

Home at last!

Dallas High School lacrosse teams now have a home of their own

By TOM ROBINSON | For The Dallas Post

T

he development of lacrosse as a high school sport at Dallas, in

particular, and the Wyoming Valley, in general, continues.

When Dallas teams swept the North Pocono boys and Pittston Area girls on April 4, it marked the programs’ debut at on-campus fields.

The teams play on a new field adjacent to the high school.

This is a big season for the sport’s growth throughout the area, as well.

Dallas athletic director Nancy Roberts is the president of the Wyoming Valley Conference Lacrosse League, which is in its first season.

And, for the first time, District 2’s champions will proceed directly into the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament rather than having to try to play their way in through a subregional game with District 4 teams.

Lake-Lehman, Delaware Valley and Crestwood join Dallas in both the boys and girls leagues. Tunkhannock, North Pocono and Scranton Prep also have boys teams while Pittston Area, Coughlin and Wyoming Seminary have girls teams.

The sport is clearly thriving at Dallas.

The Mountaineers have 37 boys and 27 girls

on their teams, allowing for junior varsity games when facing other programs with similar numbers. Dallas has one of two unbeaten girls teams, joining Wyoming Seminary, while the boys are off to a 2-1 start in league play.

Dallas High School lacrosse traces its roots back to the Back Mountain Bandits club team, which evolved into a Dallas-only club team as more high schools became involved in the sport. The school district took over responsibility, making it an official PIAA-sanctioned team with full compliance to eligibility, academic and physical requirements. The latest step is bringing the team onto campus.

“We were interested in it, but we didn’t have the space until the new high school was built,” said Roberts, who credits a strong parents club for getting the program moving before the school was involved. “Now, we have the extra field.

“It’s something we agreed to progress with

each year. We pay for some things, but not all things. There are still some things the booster club has to do.”

Boys coach Rich Cohen has been involved since the beginning with the Back Mountain Bandits starting U-19 and U-15 club teams.

Cohen said his team is led by three players who received recognition on the Central Susquehanna League all-stars last year when Dallas played in that league.

George Pfeiffer was a two-time, first-team goalie. Ray Schultz, a defender, and Casey McAndrew, a midfielder, each received honorable mention.

They helped Dallas roll over North Pocono, 15-1, in the home debut.

The girls, coached by Mary Beth Zardus, have defeated both Crestwood and Pittston Area.

The girls team, which beat Pittston Area, 14-5 in the home opener, has four seniors Madeline Mulhern, Cara Pricher, Deidre DeLuca and Evonna Ackourey - who received allstar recognition in their previous league.

With dozens of players involved in forming two winning teams, lacrosse is establishing its place in the Dallas athletic program after years of dedicated effort by those excited about the sport’s growth.

“They did sell me on it,” Roberts said of the original decision to add the sport to those that the school district sponsors. “The kids pushed it. The boys and girls teams and the boys and girls coaches really didn’t let it drop.

“With the numbers we had in it, we knew it was the right thing to do.”

Lake-Lehman sophomore has record-breaking throw Cayle spencer’s javelin hurl breaks 12-year-old school record.

By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Cayle Spencer set a school record in the javelin Tuesday and added a win with a career-best in the shot put.

When the impressive performance was over, coach John Sobocinski was not certain that either would ultimately be the best event for the talented Lake-Lehman sophomore.

“She has a lot of talent in the discus,” Sobocinski said of Spencer. “She can be really good once she perfects her spin.

She has a chance to do some really nice things in the discus.”

With the chance to compete in pleasant weather conditions for the first time, Spencer had the best day of her high school career, contributing 13 points with two first-place finishes and

a second in the discus to help LakeLehman tie Northwest, 75-75, and remain unbeaten through three meets.

Spencer had never thrown the javelin more than 120 feet in competition. After unleashing consecutive throws of 124 and another of 127 at Monday’s practice, she carried that momentum into Tuesday’s meet.

A throw of 122-8 broke the 12-yearold school record of 120-1 that had been held by Kari Maskalis.

“I’ve been working toward that school record since last season,” said Spencer, who finished third in the District 2 Class AA Championships as a freshman.

While her coach sees the potential for her to become even more of a threeway threat as a thrower, Spencer enjoys javelin the most.

“It’s my favorite,” said Spencer, who took up track and field in seventh grade and immediately settled into the throw-

ing events. “Every year I get better at it.

“I just try to keep working on my technique and footwork.”

That attention to detail has combined well with the athleticism that has already made Spencer a two-year starter in soccer and basketball where she was among the Wyoming Valley Conference’s top scorers while producing 20 points per game.

“She’s a strong kid,” Sobocinski said.

“She’s explosive; she’s very coordinated, a really nice athlete. It’s just a matter of perfecting her form.”

Tuesday’s efforts showed she’s well on her way.

“We all thought shot put would be her weakest event and she goes out and throws over 33 feet,” Sobocinski said.

“That’s a fantastic throw.”

Spencer was sixth in the district in the shot put last season.

The javelin distance produced Tuesday, if repeated in May at Scranton

SOFTBALL CLINIC The Dallas High School softball team will hold its second development clinic for girls ages 7-14 from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 21 at the Back Mountain Little League Field.

FASTPITCH PLAYERS SOUGHT The Endless Mt Blast U14 travel fastpitch program is still looking for a few qualified players to round out its teams for the upcoming season.

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST

Cayle Sprencer throws the javelin in track and field events for Lake-Lehman High School.

Her throw in a meet on Tuesday broke a 12-year-old school record.

Memorial Stadium, would make her a district title contender. That throw of 122-8 would have finished second a year ago.

“That throw, if she packages it up and takes it on the road has a very good chance to win districts,” Sobocinski said. “That can win districts. If you get

into the mid- to upper-120s, traditionally that win will districts in Double-A. “Even in Shippensburg, at the state meet, you have a chance to medal with that.”

With Tuesday’s performances, Spencer showed she is in position to contend for more honors as the season progresses.
