munity Spirit Award honors those who

endeavor to improve the lives of Back

Mountain residents through outstand-ing community service, public service

or philanthropy and embody Senator

Lemmonds commitment to doing theright thing, in the right way, for the

right reason.

Charles D. Lemmond Jr. (1929-

2012) called the Back Mountain home

for more than 50 years. Through his

constant and active involvement in a

wide range of community groups, he

touched many lives, gave a sense of di-

rection and responsibility to numerousimprovement projects and served as an

inspiration to countless individuals.

As a soldier, solicitor, prosecutor,

judge and legislator, Lemmond demon-

strated a strong devotion to civic duty.

His 21 years as a well-respected state

Senator were marked by his standardof integrity, his pursuit of justice and

his desire to do what was right for the

people and the community he served.

Numerous Back Mountain organiza-

tions benefitted by Lemmonds leader-

ship. He was an enthusiast of the BackMountain Memorial Library Auction

and helped secure funding for the ex-

pansion of the childrens wing. As a

33rd Degree Mason, member of the

Caldwell Consistory and George M.

Dallas Lodge 531 and as potentate of

the Nobility of Irem Shriners, he was

dedicated to caring for children in

need. One of his proudest legislative

accomplishments was a law he au-thored requiring hearing screenings for

newborns.

A friend of education, Lemmond

supported scholarships for Dallas and

Lake-Lehman High School students

through his involvement with the Dal-

las American Legion Post 672. He was

a lifetime trustee at Wyoming Semi-

nary College Preparatory School and

long-time alumni interviewer for his

alma mater, Harvard University. As a

memberof thePenn State Wilkes-Barre

Advisory Board, he worked on numer-

ous campus improvements, including

the state-of-the-art Nesbitt Library. Fur-

ther acknowledgement of his commit-

Charles Lemmond Community Spirit Award establishedTheDallasPost willrecognize a member

of theBack Mountain communityin

memory of thelate senator.

Lemmond

Michael Novrocki knows the exhila-ration of winning a HistoryDay compe-tition. Hes done it a few times.

Now, the Lake-Lehman historyteacher is guiding his students so thatthey, too, might experience the samefeeling.

For the 14th consecutive year, Lake-Lehman High School has won theOutstanding School Award, SeniorDivision, at the Regional History DayContest. Ten of those wins have come

with Novrocki at the helm.The award is presented to the high

school in the region that achieves themost winning entries. Lake-Lehman

High School won a total of 11 awardsthis year - four first-place awards, foursecond-place awards and three third-place awards, as well as the Outstand-ing Entry in Local History Award - atthe March 23 competition held at PennState Wilkes-Barre.

Students researched topics relatedto the annual theme, Turning Pointsin History: People, Places and Ideas,and produced eithermedia documenta-ries, tabletop exhibits or drama perfor-mances.

Twenty-three students from Lake-Lehman High School qualified to com-pete in the state competition, which

will be held from May 3-4 at Cumber-land Valley High School in Mechanic-sburg.

Novrocki, who has been History Daycoordinator at Lake-Lehman since be-ing hired as a history teacher in 2003,first won a regional History Day com-petition as a sophomore at WyomingValley West High School in 1987. Heteamed up with fellow classmate ScottStefanides that year to win a first-placeaward in the group documentary cate-gory for a presentation on coal mining.

The next year, Novrocki and Ste-fanides took a project about FatherJoseph Murgas all the way to a first-place national History Day award inthe group documentarycategory. Theirpresentation argued how Father Mur-gas invented the first workable systemof overland wireless telegraphy.

Their classmate Shaun McAndrewalso won a first-place national HistoryDay award in the individual documen-tary category that same year, mark-ing what Novrocki believes is the firstand only time students from the samehigh school won national History Dayawards in the same year.

Their History Day mentor at thetime was Mary Jean Tarantini, now re-tired and residing in Harveys Lake Bor-ough with her husband, David.

If youre looking to do somevolunteer work but cant handleanything strenuous, Janet Bau-man has just the job for you.

Bauman, the childrens librar-ianat theBack Mountain Memo-rial Library, will set you up witha dishpan full of soapy water anda pair of rubber gloves and youcan provide the library with amuch-needed service - washingthe covers of childrens books.

June Jones and Rita Rusnak

were long-time volunteers atthe library who not only washedbook covers but also sanitizedtoys used in the Parent/Child

Workshops. Both women are intheir late 80s, however, and havestepped down from their volun-teer positions.

These women would sit andwipe downthe childrens books,Bauman said. We would thenair out the books and put them

back on the shelves.Volunteers are needed once a

week for this job and, althoughthey can pretty much choose thetimes theyd like to work, morn-ings in the childrens section atthe library can be quite hectic.

For anyone looking to be avolunteer, this is a great job be-cause theres no physical aspectto it, Bauman said. It gives the

volunteers someplace to go andsomebody to talk to. Its a social

thing.Anyone interested in volun-

teering for this job is asked tocall Bauman at 675-1182.

Volunteer job not physical but very important

June Jones, left, and Rita Rusnak used to volunteertheir time washing book covers and sanitizing toys

for the parent/child workshop at the Back MountainMemorial Library. The women have retired fromtheir positions, forcing the library to seek new vol-unteers for the task.

For anyone looking to be

a volunteer, this is a great

job because theres no

DALLAS TOWNSHIP

BySUSAN DENNEY

Dallas Post Correspondent

Supervisors discussed changes tocounty roads and the township parkat their April 2 work session.

Police Chief Robert Jolley toldsupervisors about his concerns over

vandalism and improper use of theDallas Township Park.

Jolley said there had been com-plaints about people in the park atnight after the park had closed. AndRoadmaster Martin Barry said therehasbeen vandalismto park propertyas recently as last week.

Barry proposed a changeof accessto the park that might alleviate theproblems. He asked that the town-ship close the parkentrance on SagoStreet so that all ve-hicular traffic wouldenter the park viaSouthside Avenue.

S u p e r v i s o r sagreed to the planand asked TomDoughton who rep-resents the town-ships engineeringfirm of Douglas F,

Trombower and As-sociates to look into obtaining thenecessary permits.

Supervisors also okayed the con-struction of a turnaround at the farend of Kingswood Drive. A smalllot at the end of the street was soldto the township for $1 and this

will allow the township to create aturnaround for service vehicles andsnow plows.

Supervisors decided against add-ing an emulsion to Goldsmith Road,citing cost and possible environ-mental impact as the two reasonsfor their decision.

Vice-Chairman Liz Martin askedherfellow supervisorsfor a go-aheadto research either renovating orbuilding a new township building.She cited problems with the pres-ent building, including insufficientspace and possible safety issues.

Martin noted that Pittston recent-ly received a $1 million grant fromgaming monies and that part of thefunds would be used for a municipalbuilding. I dont want to incur anydebt, she added.

After discussion, the other super-

visors agreed it was a good plan topursue.

The creation of a township towingplan was also discussed. Supervisors

would like for interested companiesto submit their ideas for creating atownship towing plan, citing similarplans in other Luzerne County mu-nicipalities.

Supervisors opened bids for theuse of waste containers for the 2013Spring Cleanup on May 6-11. WasteReduction, Recycling and Transfer,Inc. of Wilkes-Barre was the win-ning bidder with a total of $13,475for dumpsters needed for the clean-up and recycling activity.

Bids were also opened for pavingmaterials. Because there were mul-

tiple line items with no one vendoroffering the lowest bids on all, bids

will be reviewed and accepted at thenext township meeting.

Get ready for side-splitting high en-ergy fun for all ages when Lake-Lehm-an Theatre Troupe presents The RealStory of Red Riding Hood Act Oneand Big Bad Musical Act Two at7 p.m. on Saturday, April 13 and at2 p.m. on Sunday, April 14 at Lake-Lehman High School Theater.

TheRealStoryof RedRiding Hood,Act One is a hilarious romp throughthe immortal story we all know, butfrom the infamous wolfs point of

view! He is determined to defend hisown good intentions and tries to showReds true nature.

In Act Two, the audience becomes

the jury in the biggest trial in fairytale

history. The e Big Bad Wolf goes on

trial andthe courtroom hasneverbeen

so lively and fun. Two of the greatest

legal minds duel it out, including Ms.Fare E. Stepmom and Ms Eva L. Step-ma.

Notorious older Big Bad Wolf hasfinally been slapped with a class ac-tion lawsuit by quirky characters who

want to get even, including the nowgrown-up Red Hood, who is president

and CEO of her own NYC BakingCompany, along with Grandma Hood,four insane pigs, angry shepherds andthe many-personality Boy Who Cried

Wolf.But can Dr. L.M. Muffet pull it off

for Wolf as the expert psychiatrist wit-ness? The whole trial is covered on airby the slick news commentator andreporter Sydney Grimm and it will allend with the audience deciding the

wolfs fate - guilty, innocent or hungjury.

At which point in time will the tal-ented actors launch into one of threedifferent endings to this tale? You nev-er know what might happen.

Jolley said

there had

been com-

plaints about

people inthe park at

night after

the park had

closed.Lets face it.

No one enjoys going to the dentist.But while Dr. James D. Definnis of

Back Mountain Dental acknowledges that fact,he hopes his patients can enjoy their visits.

Dr. Definnis and his staff strive to make thathappen by putting the patients at ease withfriendly conversations, by getting to know themand joking around when appropriate. His practiceavoids implementing a strict white lab coat ap-proach to care.

Definniss favorite parts of the job, he said, arethe patient care and delivering the smiles peoplehave always dreamed of having.

He added that his whole team enjoys develop-ing relationships with the patients and while they

take dentistry seriously, they dont take them-selves seriously.

Back Mountain Dental focuses on three cat-egories of dentistry: Cosmetic dentistry, whichincludes services such as whitening; Veneers,a thin layer of material placed on a tooths sur-face to protect a damaged tooth or for aestheticpurposes; and Invisalign, which helps straightenteeth without the metal mouth look of tradi-tional braces.

Sedation dentistry, which is for patients whomay need more extensive dental work after yearsof neglect because of a phobia of visiting the den-tist. Definnis said most patients who come in forsedation dentistry eventually transition into tra-ditional care once they are more at ease.

General dentistry, which includes servicessuch as cleanings and normal fillings (white fill-ings exclusively).

AWARDContinued from Page 1

Im doing now, Novrocki saidof Tarantini, who was affection-ately known as Ms to her His-tory Day students. I take every-thing she taught me and put it

into practice.The bigggest difference Nov-

rocki has made in History Daypreparation at Lake-Lehman isthe institution of a school-levelcontest, something he learnedfrom Tarantini.

In those contests, the higherlevels of competition are repli-cated with three judges doingthe questioning and interview-ing. After that school-level con-test, the best projects move onto regional competition.

History Day provides stu-dents with an incredible level ofself confidence, Novrocki said.There are no strict guidelines.

They only have to adhere to a

national theme but they shapeand build their projects. Theybecome masters of their topics.

Despite all that History Day

offers to students, Novrocki isconcerned that academic con-tests at public schools are beingthreatened with budget cuts.

Funding is harder and harderto come by, he said. The num-ber of participating schools andthe number of projects present-

ed at the regional level is muchlower than it was two or three

years ago. It concerns me as apublic school teacher to think

that academic contests may be-come available only to privateschools.

Novrocki added that Lake-Lehman is one of the few publicschools to continue participa-tion in History Day competitionand reported that administra-

tors are already talking abouthow to overcome budget cuts toallow students to continue par-ticipating in academic contests.

WINNERS

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST

Karlee Kreller, a third-grade student at Ross Elemenatry Schoolin Sweet Valley, is one of three students at the school whosehandwriting sample is a state-grade level winner in the Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Contest. State grade winners win a prizepackage for themselves and their schools with a value of $250.

During the month of January,students in grades 1-6 at Rossparticipated in the NationalZaner-Bloser HandwritingContest. Teachers selected one

winner from each grade level.Those entries were then submit-ted to Zaner Bloser.

The school won an awardin 2009 but James is very sur-prised to have three students

win this year.None of this matters to 7-year-

old Sarah Bednarek. Its funwriting as neat as you can - per-fect, purrs the pert first-grader,

who won one of the awards. Imsometimes nervous but try notto shake my hand - ever.

Karlee Kreller, a third-gradewinner, gets very involved inthe process. I love looping theletters. (Her favorites are L orM). Its like a habit. I love it somuch. A lot better than math or

science; its relaxing, she said.Krellers teacher, Jeremy Wil-

liams, spends 15 minutes to ahalf an hour three times a weekon handwriting and finds thatstudents with good penmanshipare generally good writers andliketo taketimeto compose and

write their essays.This years contest essay

question How does yourhandwriting make you a betterreader and writer and why isthat important? was succinctly

answered by one of the contes-tants at the school with So if I

write a book, theyll be able toread it.

But the act of handwritingitself has taken a back seat tobanging out stories on key-boards andinto Ipads andIPods.

This is in stark contrast to thedays in the last century when

penmanship was one of the ba-sic Rs s in reading, riting andrithmetic and was taught everyday in school.

Then, teachers used to havepenmanshipcontests. Now,theyare considering having studentstake the PSSA state evaluationtests on computers rather thanon paper with pencils. Jamesthinks its only a matter of timebefore technology will makehandwriting obsolete.

Andrew Jubis, the sixth-gradewinner at the school, doesntthink about that much.

Sometimes I print, some-times I write or type. I dontreally think about it, he said.This is my last year in thisschool and Im trying to makeit the best year. Im proud. Thekids cheered for me when theyheard I won the prize.

The three winning studentsreceived an engraved medallion,the students teacher receivedan engraved glass diamond andthe school received a $200 giftcertificate to Zaner Bloser foreach student.

The winning entries will com-pete at the national level and benotified of the results in May.

The History Channel* On April 18, 1775, Paul

Revere and William Dawes setout on horseback from Bostonto warn leaders Samuel Adamsand John Hancock that Britishtroops were marching on Con-cord on a mission to confiscatethe Massachusetts militia ar-senal and capture Adams andHancock.

* On April 19, 1876, a Wichi-ta, Kan., commission votes notto rehire policeman Wyatt Earpafter he beats up a candidatefor county sheriff. Earps Rem-ington pistol made an effectiveclub: Whenever possible, hepreferred to pistol-whip his op-ponents rather than shootthem.

* On April 16, 1897, Freder-ick Winterbotham, one of Brit-

ains top code breakers, is born.Winterbotham would play adecisive role in the World WarII Ultra code-breaking project,enabling British intelligence tointercept top-secret messages(even from Hitler) transmittedto and between German armedforces.

* On April 21, 1930, a fireat an Ohio prison kills 320 in-mates, some of whom burn todeath when they are not un-locked from their cells. Theprison, built to hold 1,500 peo-ple, housed 4,300 prisoners atthe time of the fire.

* On April 15, 1947, JackieRobinson, age 28, becomesthe first black player in MajorLeague Baseball when he stepsonto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn,N.Y., to compete for the Dodg-ers. Baseball had been segregat-ed for more than 50 years.

By Samantha Weaver* It was pioneering British di-

rector of suspense films AlfredHitchcock who made the fol-lowing sage observation: Thelength of a film should be di-rectly related to the enduranceof the human bladder.

* If youre an arachnophobe,you probably dont want toknow that a tarantula can livefor up to two years without eat-ing a single thing.

* If youre like the averageAmerican man with a job, youspend 8 minutes per day cook-ing. If youre like the averageAmerican woman who works,

you spend 50 minutesa day pre-paring meals.

* There are four times more

astrologers than astronomers inthe United States.

* You may not think it signifi-cant that in 1921, Earle Dick-sons wife had a tendency to in-

jureherself whileworkingin thekitchen. He kept bandaging her

wounds with gauze and adhe-sive tape, but the bandages al-

ways seemed to be slipping off.

Finally, in exasperation,he putasmall piece of gauze in the cen-ter of a piece of adhesive tape,

which worked beautifully. Noneof this would have made anydifference to us today, exceptthat Dickson was an employeeof Johnson & Johnson. He tooksome samples of his inventioninto work, where the owner,James Johnson, loved the idea.

The Band-Aid went into produc-tion shortly thereafter.
