Graduation day. For most stu-dents, its the day they have
worked for since kindergarten.From a parentalstandpoint,how-
ever, graduation night meanschewed fingernails and uneasi-ness that thechild they raised for18yearsis goingto beoffwithhisor herfriends, possibly at a partysomewhere and will eventuallybe driving home at all hours ofthe night.
That was, until the Class of2000 was about graduate andDallas PTSO mom Susan Levin-son approachedthen-Dallas HighSchool Principal Frank Galicki
with an idea for a drug-free, alco-hol-free graduation Lock-In par-ty.
We discussed it, thought itwouldbe an outstandingidea andran with it, Galicki explained.Thatfirst year, wegota localcardealershipto donatea usedcar as
a raffle prize for the students ofthefirstLock-In.As youcanimag-ine, the attendance was 99% ofthe graduating seniors becausethey all wanted to win the car.
Sincethen,committees of highschool parents have secured big-ticketitems,such as microwaves,
televisions and even computers,for subsequent Lock-In raffles.Parents are the movers and shak-ers who have made graduationnight both safe and memorablefor each successive senior class.
The trick has always been fun-draising to earn enough moneyto put on a bigger and better par-ty every year. The remarkablething about it is that many of theparentscontinueto helpwith theLock-In even after their childrenhave graduated.
Heather Calkins and MichelleTomaselli are co-chairs for theFourth Annual DHS Lock- InRummage & Bake Sale, the big-
gest annual fundraiser, yieldingthousands of dollars for theevent. According to Calkins, thelist of parents and teachers who
worked to establish the sale isquite long.
Besides Michelle and me, Ta-nyaReinert,MaireBox,DebDan-
ko, Judy Santora, Donna Kon,Trudy McAndrew, Mary BarbaraGilligan, Debbie Zimmerman,AnneManganello, SueVanHorn,Kathy Millington, Maria Carr,Paula Glicini, Ellen Hunter,
Theresa Dennis, Beth Monahan,Trudy Clemson, Jan Goeringer,Jill Martin, Diane Thompson,KimSmith, Elia Pris,C.K.DeBo-na, Sharon Ellis, Marjorie Adam,Joanne Doziak, Heather Taylor,Ellen Machovich, Mary Dona-
von, Lisa DeGraba, Kippie Mor-gan, Noreen Diaco, Karen Pie-traccini, Barbara Goode, LisaCummings, Sylvia Maas andteachers at both the high schooland middle school are just a fewof those who started thisventurein the 2009/2010 school year,Calkins said.
The s ale is held at the DallasMiddleSchool for a goodreason,according to Calkins.
Itis important thatthemiddleschool parents know about theLock-In, too, before their chil-dren get up to the high school. I
didnt know about the Lock-InCommitteeuntil my sonwas a se-nior, butI wouldhavehelpedoutsooner had I known.
Donna Kon and Trudy McAn-drew arethenew co-chairsforthe13th Annual Dallas High SchoolLock-In. Both are in their second
year with the committee.Ijoined becauseI thinkit isso
important to provide a safe nightafter the graduation ceremony,McAndrew explained. I became
involved when my son was a ju-nior as I thought itwas thejuniorclass parents time to help so thesenior parents were able to enjoythegraduationceremony. In real-ity, it takes many volunteers.
There are underclass and seniorparentsas well as parentsof grad-
uated students, both current andretired teachers and school ad-ministrators, and a great deal ofcommunity support.
The messageof theLock-Inis
universal - to provide studentswith a safe, chaperoned night offun and memories and to avoidthe fatalitiesof celebrating gradu-ation and the inherent risks in-
volved with drinking and driv-ing, she continued. I re-searched the statistics for one of
ourevents andwas amazedat thedecrease in fatalities that havebeenrecorded over a10-yearperi-od. While the focus is on thenight of graduation, it is a mess-age that bears repeating contin-uously. We hope to involve thestudent body more each year sothey understand the significanceof the decisions they will makeand to encourage them to makesmart choices.
The DHS Lock-In Raffle &Bake SaleCommitteeis stilllook-ing for donations of sale items ingood condition or better, as wellas baked items. Largeritems willbepostedon a bulletinboarddur-ing the sale and a percentage ofthe sale is requested.
Set up and drop off for theevent will take place from 3 to 8p.m. on Friday, March 8 at theDallas Middle School, Conyng-ham Avenue.

It doesntwork,said Charney,adding that the road kicks up somuch dust that he cant even gofor a walkwithoutchoking.
Roadmaster Martin Barry saidthe only way an emulsion treat-ment would work is if every resi-dent cooperated and stayed offthe road for at least three hours.Barryrecalleda timewhenhis de-partment treated a gravel road
with emulsion and several resi-dents ignored thedrying time re-striction. Supervisor WilliamGrant suggested looking intocomparing prices between emul-sionand calcium chloride.Super-

from a Druid Hills resident to re-movethree trees from thefrontofher house. The trees are in thetownshipright-of-way, but arenot

Suspicious? Then call 911By SUSAN BETTINGER
Dallas Post Correspondent
Neil Turner, of Boyle Road, questioned why he must pay the
$585 garbage fee on a vacant home he owns. Solicitor Charles
McCormick replied to Turner that the homeowner is responsible
for the fee, whether or not the service is used. McCormick
added that the $585 is technically not a tax but rather a fee
for services available to homeowners in the borough.
A Meeker Road resident saidhis neighbors two large dogshave made his and his familyslife a living hell and askedtownship supervisors for help.
I wake up, watch TV, eat din-ner, read to my children and get
to listen to dogs, he said, refer-ring to the around-the-clockbarking. He said the dogs alsocharge at him, his family andeven passersby who walk theirdogs along the road.
The resident said he contactedthe police department and saidhewas was told nothingcouldbedone because the current dog or-dinance only applies to residenc-es in residential zoning districts,not agricultural or conservationdistricts.
Theres no doubt we need tofix that, board chairman DaveSutton said, referring to the
wordingof the ordinance. We al-low homes to be built in agricul-tural and conservation districts.
It should include all residences.Idont care if its a kennel. Thesedogs should not be barking all
the time.The board voted to look into
updating the ordinance.In another matter, supervisorsdiscussed the pros and cons ofkeeping a 50-ft. wide right-of-
way in the Amber Woods subdi-vision. Zoning Board SolicitorJack Haley said keeping theproperty would give the supervi-sorsthe power to reject potentialnewdevelopment on theland ad-
jacent to the right-of-way.The board agreedthat keeping
the land is in the best interest ofthe township. Theres bigacreage available for develop-ment that borders on Amber
Woods, Sutton said. The po-tential is there fordevelopment.
Haley, who sat in for townshipsolicitor Peter Savage who was
absent due to illness, said keep-ing the land could pose a poten-tial liability problem. Sutton said
the benefit of having more con-trol over development out-
weighs the minimal liabilityrisks.Jan Valick, of Trojan Road,
tried to initiate a discussionwithsupervisors about an issue re-garding the location of the road-
way, which partly crosses hisproperty line. Sutton said he wasunable to respond because thematteris now inthe hands ofVal-ick and the townships attorneys.
The board also Authorized the treasurer to
negotiate a favorable lease ratefor a new back hoe and dumptruck.
Rescheduled a special hear-ing regarding the vacating of atownship road in the Lake Silk-
worth area for 6:30 p.m. on Mon-
day, March 18. The regular su-pervisors meeting will followthe hearing.

A small sparrow flies acrossthe parking lot of the DallasShopping Center, landing on abirdfeeder by the sidewalk.Above, more birds perch on asignwhichreads,Wild Birds Un-limited Nature Shop, identify-ing the source of the birdseed.
Inside the small shop, custom-er Rick Fuhrer, of Blakeslee,chats about the feathered friendsand other creatures in his ownbackyard while stocking up onpeanuts to keep the blue jayshappy.
While his bill is totaled,Fuhrertells a story about the blue jaysand squirrels fightingfor thepea-nuts he puts out each morning,adding that woodpeckers enjoy
peanuts as well, but prefer themshelled and crushed into smaller
pieces.As Fuhrer completes his trans-
action and heads out the door,more customers enter and beginto browse the shelves and dis-plays.
So begins a day at Wild BirdsUnlimited.
Gary and Joann Kostrobala,new owners of the local fran-chise, said their favorite part ofrunning the store is talking withthe customers and hearing theirstories.
Everybody comes in andtheyre excited about who was intheir backyard this week and
what birds theyve seen, Joannsaid. And theres a lot of excite-ment around it.
We bring people and naturetogether,added Gary.Thatsac-tually our motto. Its a place
wherepeople can come in and ac-tually talk about what theyveseen and be excited about it. Wehave a lot of fun interacting withthe customers.
Before the Dallas couple pur-chasedtheshop on Oct. 15, 2012,
they were customers there.Weve always loved bird feed-
ing and bird watching, saidJoann.
So, after recently losing theirjobs, Gary said, We figured whynot combine the hobby with a
way to make a living?The shop offers a variety of
goods, most geared specificallytoward hobbyists, and the restpromoted as gift items.
The Kostrobalas said their topseller is the birdseed, whichcomes in large and small bagsanda selection ofdifferentblendsmade to attract certain species.
Other merchandise includesbirdfeeders, birdbaths, bird-
houses, binoculars, field guides,childrens toys and more.

Fledgling tips
Gary Kostrobala, owner, Wild Birds Unlimited, offers the following tips tonew birdwatchers:Start off slow and economical. You dont need to spend a lot of moneyto start out. You can buy a basic feeder and small bag of birdseed to tryit out.Be patient. Youre not necessarily going to see a bird at your feederson day one. Sometime, it takes up to a week or two but once they knowthe food is there, theyre going to be coming back.Get a bird book. As you begin to see more bird species at your feeder,the next step is to purchase a field guide to help identify them.

The f uture of the Dalla s boysbasketball program is lookingbright.
The current eighth-gradersreached a league championshipgame for the second straight
year and the seventh-gradeclass just wrapped up an unde-feated West Side League cham-pionship.
Both Dallas Middle Schoolteams took part in the Feb. 15league championship double-header at Wyoming Seminaryafter winning West Division ti-tles.
Doug Miller, the (highschool) head coach, is very in-
volved with the teams at theMiddle School level, saideighth-grade head coach VitoDeLuca.Hes beenat a numberof our games. His fingerprintsare all over what weve done atthe eighth- and seventh-gradelevels.
All the teams work togeth-er.
After falling to Crestwood inthe championship game last
year on the seventh-grade level,this years eighth-grade class
went 14-1to win its division andreturn for another shot.
Dallas rallied from a 15-pointdeficit in the championshipgame while trying to avenge a3-point, regular-season loss to
GAR.GAR held on for a 43-41 win.Dallas went 9-for-12 from the
line in the fourth quarter whilecutting into the 34-23 GARlead.
Michael Farrell hit all four ofhis foul shots while scoring 10of his 16 points in the quarter.
Lee Eckert finished with 10points and Dalton Gattuso add-ed five.
Jason Anderson and Nico De-Luca were the teams otherstarters.
Paul Zablotney, who missedthe playoff game because of aninjury, was one of the key re-serves along with Ethan Szcze-cinski, Collin Pertl, CharlesGiacometti and Zach Charlton.
Cody Coolbaugh, ChristoHuntington, Justin Marshall,Connor Phillips, Ryan Phillips,Jim Powell, Jacob Serafin, Ja-cob Stritziner, Joey Thompsonand Andy Zehner complete theroster.
Mark Farrell is assistantcoach.
Theyre very unselfish, saidcoach DeLuca, who has ledmost of the group that hasplayed together since beingpart of a travel team in fourthgrade. They probably makeone pass too many more oftenthan they dont pass enough.
Theyre all good friends.The seventh-grade team,
coached by Jim Gattuso, went15-0 in league play then toppedSolomon/Plains, 29-20, in theleague championship game.
AndrewKovalick,Jay Bittner,Mason Gattuso, Matt Mathersand Brody Strickland scored inthe title game. Coach Gattusocredited David Shuster, DavidChopyak, Nick Kocher, AlexCharlton and Ben OConnell fortheir strong defensive play.
Gattuso, Mathers, Kovalick,Shuster and Kocher formed thestarting lineup for much of the
season.Charlton, Bittner, OConnell
and Chopyak were the top subson a large roster.
We had 28 kids when westarted the first day of practiceand we finished with 28 kids,saidcoach Gattuso, whowas as-sisted by Ted Kocher and DougChapman.
Gattuso said much of theteamssuccess camefrom team-
work and working on funda-mental skills, such as dribblingdrills, as part of every practice.

We had the gym reserved, in-surance purchased and ticketsprinted, Rollman said, indicat-ing the church has returned theclubs deposit on the gymnasiumand the money it used to pay aninsurance premium.
Rollman indicated the Night
at the Races usually brought inanywhere from $2,500 to $3,000for the club.
We have enough to get usthrough the rest of this year, hesaid of the clubs treasury. But
were now forced to cut back on
some of our budgeted items.Club treasurer Joe Canfield
said cancellation of the Night atthe Races will force the scalingback of many of this fiscal yearsbudget-approved donations.
Don Berlew, a four-year mem-ber of the club who co-chairs theNight at the Races with Roll-man, said about 85 to 90 percentof the clubs 32 members get in-
volved with the event.Its a lot of work, he said.
But it was the best promotion
we had and everybody got in-volved with it. It broughtfriends, families and neighborstogether for a night of fun and
we never had any trouble.Maggie Giannelli, legislative
directorin Sen. Lisa Bakers Har-
risburg office, said the senator isa co-sponsor of Senate Bill 390
which addresses concerns of or-ganizations like the Dallas LionsClub that depend on profits fromsmall games of chance to fundtheir charitable efforts.
House Bill 390 was introducedin the Senate on Feb. 4 and re-ferred to the Senate FinanceCommittee where it will be dis-cussed for consideration. Fromthere, it will move to the Appro-priations Committee, of which
Baker is a member.Brenda Zablotsky, legislative
secretary in Rep. Karen BobacksHarrisburg office, said HouseBill 290, of which Boback is aco-sponsor and which would al-low events like Night at the
Races to be held, passed theHouse of Representatives last
week by a vote of 186-10. Thatbill will now be sent to the Sen-ate where it will pass throughstanding committees before be-ing brought before the entireSenate.
While those bills make theirway through the legislature,members of the Dallas LionsClub continue to discuss possi-ble fundraising efforts to takethe place of their annual Night
at the Races.The last thing we need is to
have 200 people at an event andhave the State Police come inand tell us theyre going to fineus and everybody has to leave,Berlew said.

AshleyAlibrando and MattChi-umento, now both 26, grew uphearing stories about each other.Shelived inMountEphraim, hein
neighboringHaddon Heights, butthey had mutual friends, includ-ing Ashleys cousinBeau.
There were probably timeswhen wed been at the same par-ties, orin thesamegroup hangingout,Ashleysaid. Nonearememo-rable because theywouldnot havehadmuchto talk aboutback then.
Shewas a cheerleader whotookthehomecomingcrown. Hewas askateboarder who bleached hislong hair blond.
ThankGod, wedidntofficiallymeet back then - we would haveprobably despised each other,Ashleysaid. Matt agrees.
After graduating from CamdenCatholic High School, Matt wentto work as a building materials
salesman. After Audubon HighSchool, Ashley went to RutgersUniversity in New Brunswick tostudy business marketing.
On her 20th birthday, Ashleywalked through her apartmentdoorand intoa surpriseparty.Dia-na, another mutual friend, had in-
vitedMatt,who broughthis friendRyan as wingman.
Matt was sitting on my deskchair with the largest bottle ofGreyGoosehe couldfind,Ashleyremembered. She recognizedhim, but he sure looked different.Hehada nicehaircut, andhe wasdressed nice,she said.
They introduced themselves toeach other and talked a little that
night. The next weekend, Ashleywas home for Easter when Dianainvited herto a small house party.Matt had asked Diana to bringAshley. Shes beautiful, and she
just seemed like my personalitytype- veryoutgoing,very fun,verypersonable, he said.
We all sat around and talked,Ashley remembered. When we
were going to leave, (Matt) walk-ed me out and asked if we couldexchange numbers.
Partof Matts salesterritorywasinNorthJersey, andhe calledAsh-ley the next time he was near hercollege and asked her to lunch atChilis.
I thought I was so badass be-cause I had a fakeID and was ableto get a margarita, Ashley said.Buther confidencewaveredas sheheardMatts sideof thesalescallshe had to take during lunch. He
was a little more grown up than Iwas, she said. He was someonewho I was aspiringto be, a profes-sional with a career.
Ashley could see why Matt isgood at sales. He was easy to talkto and incredibly nice to bearound.
She didnt eat much of her sal-ad, soshe asked for a to-gobox. Ispilledthe whole thing, shesaid.
She got egg on me, and saladon herself and all over the table,Matt elaborated.
He just laughed at me. And Ilaughed at myself, Ashleysaid.
I wanted to get to know hermore, Mattsaid.
Things went so well from thenonthatMattmovedinwithAshleyduring her last year at Rutgers.
The summer after her junioryear,sheinternedwitha majorpharma-ceutical company.They hired her,and after graduation in 2008, thecouple moved back to South Jer-sey. Ashleymoved inwith herpar-
ents, Mark and Cheryl, and Mattwithhis, Ronand Andi.But notforlong. In 2010, they boughta homein Gloucester City.
How does foreversound?The couple spent five days at
Disney for Ashleys 25th birthdayin April 2011. The night they re-turned, friend Sean picked themup at the airport. The three walk-ed into the couples home toshouts of Surprise! from familyand friends.
Everyone sang, and then some-one brought out the cake, still inits box. Ashley opened the lid. In-stead of wishing her a HappyBirthday, the icing script asked,Will youmarryme?
Matt knelt beside her and heldouttheringhe hadhadmadewithher late grandma Junes diamond.June had met Matt before shedied, and she loved him - and hisdark-eyed Italian good looks. Sheleft Ashley her ring, and Ashleyaskedher motherto keepit so she
wouldnt know when Matt askedforit.
Matts and Ashleys motherswere in on the whole thing, andhelped plan the party. Were both
closetoourfamilies,andsoIwant-ed it to be a family thing, Mattsaid.
Itwasso them
Mattand Ashleyheldtheir wed-ding and reception for175 at Ces-caphe Ballroom. For two ItalianCatholics to not marry in thechurch was a little taboo, Ashleysaid. Buttheywantedto personal-izetheirceremony,andasabonus,it meant less traveling for Matts96-year-old grandfather, Carmen.
Ashley wanted to create a feel-ing of elegance and luxury. Twohuge, potted curly willow trees
were filledwith roses and crystalsand lanterns hung everywhere.
Guests walked in on a red carpetand were greeted by photogra-phers. Ashley used the photos tomakethank-youcards.Insteadof aguest book, guests filled out wed-ding Mad Libs, with sentenceslike, When I first heard this cou-ple wasgettingmarried,I shouted___-.
A good number of people filledthat line with something akin toIts abouttime!
Ashleys father, an avid guita-
rist, played Make You Feel MyLove during the ceremony. Tosymbolize their union, the couplepoured two glasses into one gob-let, then both drankfromthe gob-let.
Journeys of the Heart officiantAl Vernacchio asked Ashley and
Matt to write down the thingsthey love about each otherand re-vealed them during the wedding.Ashleywrote that Matt makesherlaugh and keeps her grounded.MattwrotethatAshleyisthemostbeautiful person he knows, insideandout.
Matt loves golf andthe couplessignature drink was an ArnoldPalmer spiked with vodka. Afriendof Ashleys gotPalmerhim-selftosignoneoftheirweddingin-
vitations as a gift.When Ashley was born, her fa-
ther wrote a song for her calledAshley Rose. He made a record-
ing of it and they danced to it forthe father-daughter dance. Mattand his mother danced to CarrieUnderwoods Mamas Song.
Thiswas unexpected
After the couple was pro-nounced husband and wife, one
man stood up among the guestsandbegan to sing HappyTogeth-er. Matt wondered what on earth
was happening. Then someoneelsestood,and another andanoth-er. Soon the guests were dancingat their seats. Ashley had secretlyhired West Chesters A CapellaPops.
When Ashley came down thestairsat thestartof theceremony,she was honored to hear herguests gasp. But Ashley wantedthis moment to be special for herand Matt, so she asked the offi-ciant to have the guests remainseated. Shewanted to be sure she
andMatt could seeeach other.As Matt saw the details of his
wedding day unfold, he was in-credibly impressed with all thatAshleyhad done. Ifshe puts thatmucheffortinto ourmarriage,Imgoing to be the happiest manalive,he said.
Discretionary spending
A bargain: Their photographerwas relatively new to the weddingbusiness and gave the couple aprice that was less than half of
what other photograph
