East Center Street Bridge in Shavertown opens The East Center Street Bridge was closed nearly a year for repairs By DOTTY MARTIN dmartin@mydallaspost.com

AIMEE DILGER /THE TIMES LEADER

The bridge on Center Street in Shavertown opened April 21 after being closed for repairs for nearly a year.

After more than a year and more than a million dollars, the East Center Street Bridge Project in Shavertown is complete. The bridge, which was closed on April 16, 2012, re-opened to trafﬁc on April 21. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was planned for April 26. “We’re relieved,” Kingston Township Manager Kathleen Sebastian said of the

bridge’s opening. “It’s beautiful. They did a fantastic job and everybody is thrilled.” Sebastian explained that plans to renovate the bridge started in 2000 and included removing the old bridge, widening the area, building a new bridge and new roads. Kingston Township budgeted $220,000, or 20 percent of the overall cost, while the remaining 80 percent of the project’s cost was paid for by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. “Everything went smoothly,” Sebastian said, although crews did run into

soil erosion problems when digging into the creek bed, making redesigns necessary. “Everybody cooperated. Once it started, it was smooth sailing.” Bob Nause, proprietor of Top Value See BRIDGE, Page 7

Noisy networking at Back Mountain Expo By SUSAN DENNEY Dallas Post Correspondent

or Don Webster, the noise level in Insalaco Hall at Misericordia University was a sure sign of success. Webster is the acting executive director of the Back Mountain Chamber and the noise was the conversations of visitors and participants in the April 17 Back Mountain Business and Community Expo. Webster said the Chamber’s mission includes three dimensions: commerce, community and culture and that the number of conversations going on in Insalaco Hall was proof that the Expo was accomplishing all those goals. This was the fourth year for the Chamber-sponsored event which is hosted by Misericordia University. According to Chamber executive committee member Carl Goeringer, it was the ﬁrst year the event sold out. More than 75 businesses and non-proﬁt organizations set up booths to spread awareness about their merchandise and promote contacts among participants. The expo started with a 3 p.m. networking reception for all the participants catered by Gerrity’s Supermarkets and Fire & Ice Restaurant. At 4 p.m., the expo opened to the public. Visitors talked with business owners, sampled food and chatted with team mascots, including the Nittany Lion from Penn State University and Tux from the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins. A wide variety of participants, including banks, schools, medical and dental providers and retail

North Branch Land Trust (NBLT) will celebrate its 20th anniversary of conserving important natural resources in Northeastern Pennsylvania at its annual dinner and auctions on Wednesday, May 8 at the Westmoreland Club in WilkesBarre. The 20th anniversary dinner chairs are Cornelia C. Romanowski, Frank E.P. Conyngham and William H. Conyngham. Dinner committee members are Jane Clements, Liz Clements-Katyl, Virgina Davis, Kathy Dunsmuir, Jim Gorman, Ramah Hackett, Terri Kosakowski, Paul Lumia, Leigh Pawling, Rachel Pugh-Domiano, Jason Reilly, Barb Romanansky, Jim Shoemaker, Julie McCarthy Strzeletz, Linda Thoma, Mike Weaver and Gary Williams. Since its inception in 1993, NBLT has conserved over 12,200 acres of important natural land for watershed protection, local agriculture, outdoor recreation, habitat for threat-

ened and endangered species and scenic beauty. Of the 12,200 acres protected, NBLT owns 1,250 acres that are open to the public for passive recreation activities. North Branch Land Trust is a private non-proﬁt that relies on public support such as membership dues, donations, grants and fundraising events to carry out its conservation mission. The trust’s annual dinner is its major fundraiser of the year. This year NBLT will honor the community of Bear Creek Village with the its Community Stewardship Award for conservation efforts that led to the protection of 139 acres in that community. To make reservations and support land conservation in your community or to learn about NBLT committee and volunteer opportunities, contact North Branch Land Trust at 696-5545 or by email at romanansky@nblt.org.

businesses, provided information about their services and products. A surprising variety of churches and non-proﬁts also promoted their programs and goals. Giveaways, including hand lotion, toothbrushes, pens, buttons and candy, invited visitors to stop a minute and talk to a representative manning the booth. Lauren O’Shea, of Shavertown, works for Hildebrandt Learning Centers, a company that provides employer-sponsored childcare management. When asked why her business had chosen to participate, she said, “To get our company’s name out in Back Mountain.” She also said another goal was to meet local businesses and partner in some way. Misericordia professor Paul Nardone involved his business stu-

dents in the event. Rachael Ayers, a senior in Business Management from Dallas, was part of the planning which involved many details, including picking the date and setting up for the event. “Back Mountain Chamber is something that’s interesting to me,” said Ayers, who feels the event is important for the community. “It’s a great networking opportunity for the businesses to mingle with each other.” Amanda Perlock, a senior Misericordia marketing major, said her marketing research class was doing a survey of the businesses and non-proﬁts who participated and that the class would analyze data provided by participants and let the Chamber know how the expo can be improved in the future.

Grasshopper Lawns celebrates Earth Day at BMLL Michael and Shawn Kravitski watched their children enjoy playing baseball for Back Mountain Baseball for Boys and Girls and decided to give back when they got the chance. The owners of Grasshopper Lawns in Larksville, the Kravitski brothers, who both reside in the Back Mountain, chose to volunteer the services of their business at the Back Mountain Little League field in celebration of Earth Day. Technicians from the 29-year-old family-owned business spent several hours on April 20 applying fertilizer, aerating and liming the field and conducting weed control. Bill Holena, treasurer of Back Mountain Baseball for Boys and Girls, said the organization does business with Grasshopper Lawns and that every year Grasshopper Lawns chooses a project to celebrate Earth Day. “This year, they chose the Back Mountain Little League field,” said Holena, who added the Little League organization recently spent about $90,000 to improve the field and that Grasshopper Lawn employees would help clean up from that construction project. “Every year we volunteer at a local organization,” said Kristy Kravitski, assistant office manager at Grasshopper Lawns. “Our route manager

YOUR SPACE Spring has arrived! A bee on a crocus in Jill Spencer’s ﬂowerbed on Meeker Road in Lehman caught her eye.

Legos on display at library Seven-year-old Bryce Phillips, a ﬁrst-grade student at Wycallis Elementary School, will display his Lego collection at the Back Mountain Memorial Library during the month of May. Bryce has been building and collecting Legos for one and a half years. He began when he started watching a TV series called Ninjago. His collection includes Ninjago sets and also Monster Fighter Lego sets. Bryce received most of these Legos as gifts for holidays and his birthday. At ﬁrst, Bryce had help from his parents building the sets but now he builds them by himself. Bryce states that, “The sets can take a long time to make.” The castle took the longest and is his favorite piece. “It’s the most awesomest,” he said. Bryce also enjoys going on the Internet to watch videos on Lego sets being built. Bryce lives in Dallas with his parents, Roy and Tricia Phillips, and his sister, Julia.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Chamber grateful for publicity Dear Editor: The Back Mountain Chamber and the Expo committee want to thank you for your support of our recent Business and Community Expo. With the help of The Dallas Post and Times Leader we were sold out! Successful events like this continue to promote the culture, commerce and community of this beautiful area we call our home.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On May 8, 1884, Harry S Truman is born in Lamar, Mo. Upon President Franklin Roosevelt’s death in 1945, Truman became the 33rd president of the United States. After four months in ofﬁce, Truman authorized the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, believing it ultimately saved American and Japanese lives by forcing Japan to surrender. * On May 12, 1932, the body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh’s baby is found more than two months after he was kidnapped from his family’s New Jersey mansion. After numerous ransom notes, the baby was found less than a mile from the home. He had been killed

the night of the kidnapping. * On May 11, 1947, the B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, announces it has developed a tubeless tire. The disadvantage of the old inner tube design was that if the inner tube failed, the tire would blow out immediately, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. * On May 6, 1954, in Oxford, England, 25-year-old medical student Roger Bannister cracks the four-minute mile. Bannister won the mile race with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. * On May 9, 1971, the last original episode of the sitcom “The Honeymooners,” starring Jackie Gleason, airs. Despite its brief life as a traditional sitcom, “The Honeymooners” remains one of the most memorable TV comedies of all time, rivaled only by “I Love Lucy.”

The story is different for Greg Williams, owner of Studio 309 Music Antiques and Collectibles, who said his business suffered tremendously during the bridge reconstruction. Williams rented a building on the corner of Main and Center Streets that he lived in as an 18-year-old just two weeks before the bridge closed, not knowing about the construction project. “We suffered dearly and patiently,” he said. “We depend entirely on retail trafﬁc and the only accessibility to our building was through the back door.” Williams added that he was forced to sell a lot of his merchandise at area ﬂea markets

Continued from Page 1

Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 rotated through two presentations throughout the day. Presenter Steve McGorry, who has worked at the Da Vinci center for two years as outreach coordinator, taught the dissection class. “We do school workshops in the center but we also go on the road,” he said He discussed the anatomy and functions of eye parts as the students followed his instructions. He asked questions to involve the students in their learning. Dante DeAngelo, 18, of Dallas, held the scalpel in his group. He plans to become a surgical tech. “I’m an outdoorsman,” he said. “This stuff interests me.” At an all-girl table, Christy Conway, 17, of Shavertown, had no problem doing the dissecting. “I like taking things apart. It was the same in biology class.” The group dissecting eyeballs was also able to look at a set of healthy lungs and compare it to a set of diseased smoker lungs. In a classroom next door, Max Needle, who joined the Da Vinci Center in February, demonstrated brain sensory activities. Needle’s humorous approach helped him establish a rapport with the students as he conducted activities focused on vision and reflexes. He used several students to demonstrate a few experiments before letting them loose to explore the room’s activities. Students wore special glasses which mimicked eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. They also tested their reflexes in a variety of ways. Nell Adams, 17, of Dallas, liked an activity in which she had to negotiate a maze with her eyes closed. She said, “It was hard and challenging.” and on Ebay during the bridge project. Of the bridge itself, however, he said, “The bridge is gorgeous. It looks fantastic and has done a lot to improve the infrastructure of Shavertown.” Susan Collini, of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Ltd. at the intersection of Center Street and Route 309, mirrors Nause’s comments. “Although it was difficult for people to get into the center, they did figure out a way to get here,” she said. “We didn’t face the same challenges the retail folks did.” Collini does, however, feel the Main Street/Center Street intersection was safer than ever during the bridge reconstruction. A 3-way stop sign had

taken annually by Tunkhannock BPW, a chapter of BPW PA, an organization dedicated to promoting full participation, equity and economic self-sufficiency for America’s working women. In recognition of the mission of the organization to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information, proceeds from Wine Down 2013 will benefit the Fran Colemen Memorial Scholarship for Tunkhannock Area High School seniors, the Girl Scout Scholarship fund and nonprofit organizations within the community that provide support to women and children. The Tunkhannock BPW chapter currently meets on the second Monday of each month at the Tunkhannock Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge 1276. For more information, contact the chapter president Terri Detrick at 499-7194.

Now that the bridge has re-opened, the third stop sign has been removed. “I’ve seen so many near accidents at that intersection before the 3-way stop sign was installed,” Collini said. “It’s a dangerous intersection. We have actually petitioned the township to put in a 4-way stop sign.” As for the completed bridge project, Collini said, “It’s wonderful. It’s been a long time coming.” She commended the workers and their attention to detail. “I know it was a lot of money for the township but it was well worth it.”

New patio furniture has been ordered and a space near the patio has been cleared for games like croquet and badminton. Crediting the Harkins family for the reputation enjoyed by the Beaumont Inn, Friedman said, “Beth ran it and it had an excellent reputation. I hope to continue the tradition they started but take it a notch farther.” He added that Sunday

Ten bedrooms on the second ﬂoor have all been remodeled, each one featuring a different theme but all with the traditional country look. brunch, which was a tradition at the Beaumont Inn for years, will continue. Friedman’s incentive to re-open the Beaumont Inn came from guests attending weddings at Friedman Farms which, he said, is nine minutes from the inn. “Wedding guests are always asking me where they can stay in the Back Mountain when they attend a wedding at the farm,” he said. “As you know, there are no hotels in the Back Mountain. Now, they will have somewhere to stay.”

MU grid coach: Defensive line play will improve Lady Bandits Defensive line and quarterback are two position groups that appear promising in recruiting. By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Mark Ross has at least two reasons to believe defensive line play will be improved when Misericordia University enters its second season of football in the fall. Ross pointed out the defensive line as one of two position groups that appear promising in recruiting and also likes progress that he sees from the returning group in spring practices. The National Collegiate Athletic Association allows Division III football programs 16 days of spring practice, but Ross said it is not in the format of what people might see on television with Division I teams. “It’s more individual emphasis and technique,” the Cougars head coach said. “We’re not allowed to use any pads.” Former Dallas High School coach Ted Jackson, a part-time member of the Misericordia coaching staff, has worked with defensive linemen this spring after dealing with inside linebackers last season. “He’s raised the skill level and technique of our defensive linemen,” Ross said of Jackson, who was recently selected for induction in the Pennsylvania State Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Jackson, who went 227-79-3 and won a state title in 27 years at Dallas, will be honored June 15 in Harrisburg as part of ceremonies in conjunction with the Big 33 Football Classic.

SPORTS BRIEFS VOLPETTI HONORED Gabrielle Volpetti, of Wyoming, was recently named Most Valuable Player at Wyoming Volpetti Seminary Upper School. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Volpetti of Wyoming. SOFTBALL CLINIC The Dallas High School softball team will hold Session 3 of its developmental clinic series from noon to 2 p.m. today, April 28 at the Back Mountain Little League Field. This clinic will cover a brief review of Session’s 1 and 2, moderate to advance hitting techniques, position speciﬁc defensive drills and communication drills. For more information, contact Brent Berger at 793-1126, or Bill Kern at 498-5991, or email dallashighsoftball@gmail.com. In case of rain, the clinic will be held at the Dallas High School gym.

Ross said it was too early to talk specifically about individual recruits, but he did say that defensive line and quarterback were the two areas where the program made important progress in terms of depth. “The majority of our recruiting for this year is done, although at our level, and particularly this year, there are still a number of potential candidates we are working with at this point,” Ross said. “There are some position groups that we felt like, going in, we needed to improve our depth. “Quarterback was one of them. At the end of the year, we had only two.” The Cougars were shut out five times, including three of their final four games, while going 0-10 in their debut season. The 2012 team was put together for the first time and built from a two-person recruiting effort the year before. With his staff complete, Ross was one of five coaches able to work on recruiting this spring. “We have a better handle on the kids coming in,” Ross said. “There’s not as much guesswork. “With some of the kids we brought in last year, once we saw what they could do, we had to put them in other spots.” The first Misericordia team included just one player from each of the two Back Mountain high schools. It did, however, get significant contributions from those two. Lake-Lehman graduate Cody Lamoureux led the team in rushing while Dallas graduate Paul Brace was the leading receiver. Ross said Brace does not plan to return next season, but Lamoureux will be back. Lamoureux, who ran for 339 yards on 103 carries,

Misericordia University football coach Mark Ross said defensive line and quarterback are two areas where the program has made important progress in terms of depth.

was one of the players who served as the single running back in the pistol formation the Cougars often employed. Misericordia ran most of its attack from shot gun formation with either one tight end and three wide receivers or two tight ends and two wide receivers. Ross said the team is experimenting with a few “schematic issues” within its offense, but the general approach is likely to remain the same.

The Back Mountain Bandits girls U13 Lacrosse team played in the Delaware Valley Tournament on April 14 at Warrior’s middle school in Dingmans Ferry. The local girls were able to secure wins in three out of the four games. Scoring for the Bandits included eight goals for Christiana Leu, six for Jackie Kalinosky, six for Mikella Monoco, five for Lauren Delamater, five for Kate Roberts, three for Morgan Critchosin, two for Gabby Krochta, two for Samantha Aben. The mid-fielders and attacks did a great job moving the ball, thanks to the efforts of Mackenzie Lasinski, Faith Butler, Rylee Critchosin, Samantha Sutton and Margaret Mihalick. Goalie Emily Driscoll came under fire. Her countless saves and strong defensive efforts of Chloe-Lyn Osborne, Caylin Patta and Olivia Zablocky allowed the Bandits to steal victory.

Black Knights second in lacrosse league By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Lake-Lehman’s defense is young, but still relatively experienced in terms of the first-year Wyoming Valley Conference boys lacrosse league. The performance of that experienced group has allowed the Black Knights to move into second place out of seven teams. “Our defense is very good,” said T.J. Labar, a sophomore at Penn State/Wilkes-Barre who moved up from assistant to head coach after one non-league game this spring. Labar played on the first LakeLehman team two years ago. The WVC includes two programs still in their first year and the Black Knights have managed to shut out those teams in all three meetings. Lake-Lehman defeated North Pocono, 13-0, in the conference opener and, 6-0, Tuesday night. It also blanked Scranton Prep, 6-0. “Our defense is strong so we’re emphasizing defense,” Labar said. “We’re improving on offense. “As long as we can hold the ball, we should be able to keep improving.” Lake-Lehman is 5-3 in conference play with the help of sophomore goalie Jake Yaple, sophomore defender Phil Hettes and junior defender Justin Winters, who are all returning starters. Sophomore Dave Kessner played in the shutout of Scranton Prep, but has been sidelined by an injury. Senior Hunter Hackling has taken over on defense in Kessner’s absence. Labar said Yaple, who came up through the Back Mountain Bandits program and has played the sport for 10 years, is one of the best goalies in the league. “He’s very athletic,” Labar said. “He’s quick to react and he knows how to keep himself inside the cage and how to read shooters. “He does a good job, even on close shots, of confusing the shooters.” Yaple is just one example of how Lake-Lehman benefits from experience in a sport still largely in its growth stage in northeastern Pennsylvania. “Most of the kids have played for the Back Mountain Bandits and now Lehman has its own junior high team,” Labar said. “We’re an up-andcoming team. “I was expecting that we could have this kind of season.” Lake-Lehman trails only unbeaten Delaware Valley in the WVC standings. They have the only two winning records while Dallas is in third place with a .500 record.
