About 80 kindergartenersfrom Wycallis Elementary putwhat they learned about EarthDay into action on April 20 byweeding the flower beds infront of their school.

Kindergarten teacher Victo-ria Flynn said it was the firsttime the classes had ever done

anything like that in observ-ance of the holiday.Mrs. Crahall and I kept won-

dering about the weeds in frontof the school, and we just de-cided what a great idea for thekids to do something for EarthDay, she said.

Students participated in oth-er projects in class, such as sav-ing their extra paper to makeEarth Day worksheets, butFlynn said the weeding activityallowed students to get theirhands dirty while learning howto care for the environment.

We did one side with themorning class and one sidewith the afternoon classes,Flynn said. This is a greathands-on opportunity for

them.The tykes brought in grocery

bags to collect weeds as well asgloves to protect their hands.

Kindergarten teacher SusanCrahall gave the kids a quickdebriefing before they startedripping roots from the ground.

You see these flowers?Theyre dandelions, she toldthe kids. Even though theylook pretty, theyre weeds, too.And look how many of themthere are!

Holy smokes! shouted 6-year-old Paul McMillan, of Dal-las, when he noticed all the yel-

low flowers in front of theschool.Jordan Porasky, 5, of Dallas,

helps pick weeds at home withher parents. She enjoys weed-ing because you get to helpthe Earth, and its importantbecause the Earth makes wa-ter and air.

Six-year-old Ciana Cruz, ofShavertown, never weeded be-fore, but liked digging in thedirt and being outside.

Its fun to clean and pick upthings, she said. (Weeding)helps flowers grow.

Samuel Comitz, 6, of Dallas,wandered around the front ofWycallis Elementary, trying tofind the perfect spot to weed.

You have to keep the planet

clean because the Earth has tobe healthy, he said of the im-portance of Earth Day.

Five-year-old Landon Daney,

of Dallas, said though he re-cently moved, he liked helpinghis dad weed the family gar-

den.Its fun because you get to

pull things out of the ground,and I like that if its too hard,

you get to dig, he said.Daney said Earth Day is an

important reminder to keep the

Earth clean and green.You have to take care of the

planet, he said. We dontwant it to be dirty.

interview.The average length of a uni-

versity president is about six anda half years, so I thought it was agood time to go, said MacDow-ell.

MacDowell came to Misericor-dia in 1998 after spending nineyears as vice president of institu-tionaladvancementand econom-ics professor at HartwickCollegein Oneonta, N.Y.

Hesaiddespitesomeissues,hefound what was once known asCollege Misericordia to have

great promise and very goodprograms.

I saw the idea of getting visi-bility for the institution, increas-

ingenrollmentand tryingto raisemore money as my three goalsand Ive stuck to those through-out my time here, he said.

MacDowell was impressedwith the colleges sense of mis-sion. When he served as presi-dent of the National Council onEconomic Education based inNew York City, he noticed manysmall schools didnt have a mis-sion or sense of direction.

Ithink the legacyof thisplace(Misericordia University) is theSistersof Mercy andtheir charis-ma, said MacDowell. If youhave a sense of whats importantand what isnt, then its prettyeasy to manage the place. If any-thing is open to you and you cango any way, then you dont have

anyOccamsrazor(thelawof par-simony, economy or succinct-ness) by which to make deci-sions.

During his tenure, MacDowelloversaw the transition from Col-legeMisericordiato MisericordiaUniversity in 2007, a process hedescribes as time-consumingand active but one that wasneeded to improve the efficiencyof administration.

He said prior to reaching uni-versity status, the college hadbeen dividedintofour parts sci-ence, humanities, business edu-cation and health sciences which wereheaded by appointedfaculty members.

Becominga university allowedthe school to divide into colleges- the College of Heath Science,the College of Arts and Sciencesand the College of ProfessionalStudies which allowed each

part to function according to itsneeds with hired deans at thehelm.

Itjust madesense wed evolve

to that point, and hence the uni-versity statuswas not just the no-menclature, said MacDowell.

He said university status al-lowed moreattentionto individu-al needs of students in eachfield,promoted research and alloweddepartments more control overprograms.

Physical changes to the DallasTownship campus have been on-going since MacDowells arrival.The Mary Kintz Bevevino Li-brary was in the process of beingbuilt during his inaugural yearand nearly every building oncampus has been improved orconstructed during his presiden-cy.

Currently, the university is intheprocessof building a newdor-

mitory and preparing athleticfieldsfor thearrival of itsfirstDi-visionIII footballseason this fall.

MacDowell said the decision

was an economic one, which willallow programs with excess ca-pacity to accept more students.He said the addition of footballwill also add to the dcor andcommunity spirit of the campus.

Despite his west coast origins,MacDowell was integral to thecreation of several community or-ganizations such as the BackMountain Historical Associationand the Back Mountain Commu-nity Partnership.

All of these thingswe were in-volvedin, in both leadingand fol-lowing, he said. If somebodyasks us to do something,welldoit Its amazing how much youcan do if you dont want to takecredit for it.

MacDowell has lived in Cali-

fornia,Texas, Indiana,Louisiana,IllinoisandNew Yorkandsays hehasnt come across a communityas proud and as caring as North-

eastern Pennsylvania.Were going to stay at our

place outon thelake, andwe loveit out there, so were going to behere, he said. Were going tospendsome time whereitswarminthewinter wehavea houseinFlorida but we voted with ourfeet and were staying.

MacDowell is most proud ofthe students who have gonethrough the university.

All the buildings and all thegrowth of the student body andtheendowment andthe fundrais-ing and all the community activ-ities are really for not if the stu-dents dont come here and dowell, he said.

MacDowell hopes to spendmore time teaching economics

through the Calvin K. KazanjianEconomics Foundation, of whichhe is a board member, during hisretirement.

The Back Mountain Commu-nity Partnership continued itsdiscussion April 19 about plansfor a regional emergency man-agement agency building to beconstructed in Lehman Town-ship.

Lehman Township was award-ed a $975,000grantfrom gamingfundson behalfof thepartnershiplast month for the project.

The partnership initially re-quested $1.2 million in the grantapplication. Chairman James Re-

ino Jr. said a committee consist-ing of partnership members wasformed and discussions wereheld with EMA officials to deter-mine whether the project couldbe scaled down.

Reinosaid themajor changeintheproject plans includes remov-ing the proposed pole barn andinstead building an addition ontheexistingbuilding.The siteis aformer medical building locatedoff State Route 118. Reino saidthis change will save moneywhile better utilizing existingspace at the site.

He also said discussions withEMAofficials ledthe group to in-

clude an additional $30,000worth of emergency equipmentthan what was initially requestedin the grant application.

Reinosaid furniture wasanoth-er piece of the project that wasscaled back to correspond withthe monies available.

The project was developed af-

ter two tropical storms wreakedhavoc on the Back Mountain latelast year.

In other news Lynn Banta of the Back

Mountain Chamber of Com-merce told members the busi-ness expo held at MisericordiaUniversity on April18 wasa well-

attended and successful event.She also said the Back Moun-

tain Community Partnershipsmembership in the chamber hasofficially been processed and re-search conducted by an internproved the partnership is the on-ly governmental organization ofits kind in the state.

Vice Chairman John WilkesJr. said municipalities shouldprovide a training session forroad department workers for ajointly-purchased radar speedtrailer.

Hesaidthe mechanism ismorecomplicated than originallythought, and a training session

with thosewho wouldbe relocat-ing the equipment would be ben-eficial.

Ray Iwanoski, of LehmanTownship, said the group shouldmake a point to personally thankMichaelMacDowell, president ofMisericordia University, for hiscontributions to the partnershipand the community.

The morning before the part-nership meeting, MacDowell an-nounced his plans to retire onJune 30, 2013.

The next Back MountainCommunity Partnershipmeetingwill be at 3 p.m. Thursday, May17 at Misericordia University.

Supervisorstook actionto stopillegal dumping on a quiet coun-try road and approved three

quotes through the state COS-TARS Program at their April 11meeting.

Sunny Acres Road fits the de-scription of a quiet country road,sparsely populated, that can fre-quently fall victim to illegaldumping. When word reachedthe supervisors,supervisorstookaction to prevent it.

Chairman Lonnie Piatt saidmaterial from outside the town-ship was being taken to a proper-ty on Sunny Acres Road anddumped. The townships ordi-nance,number 1-85,restrictsandregulates dumping within thetownship.

Supervisors authorized town-ship Attorney Mark McNealis asenforcement representative tosend a registered letter to theproperty owner on the violation.

Also, the Department of Envi-ronmental Protection was noti-fied and recently met with theproperty owner. Piatt said theowner is working with DEP toclean it up the property.

Normally, they give 30 to 45days for the homeowner to cleanup the debris, Piatt said.

Planning ahead, supervisorsdecided to take advantage ofquotes for material through thestate run COSTARS Program.The COSTARS program is a joint

effort by the Pennsylvania De-partment of Transportation andthe Department of General Ser-vices to give municipalities theability to find competitive priceson necessary items.

Usually, bids are approved and

materials held until the munici-pality needs them, Piatt said.

Supervisors approved a quotefrom Central Clay Products for$9.99 per 50-pound bag of mag-nesium chloride. Every year themunicipality orders 16 tons ofmagnesium chloride for the nextwinterseason. Piattsaid the roadcrew prefers thebagsfor theeaseof filling the hoppers on thetrucks for spreading.

It is the type of material youonly need in certain areas, hesaid.

Other bids were from BradcoSupply Company, Towanda, for$11.40per bag;andJohnBonhamRoadEquipmentand Supply, Ho-nesdale, for $11.45 a bag.

Supervisors also approvedquotes from Central Clay Prod-ucts to purchase six pipes at$9.50 a foot andsixpipebandsfor$12.23 a piece.

Other quotes were receivedfrom Bradco Supply and JohnBonham Road Equipment andSupplybut were a fewcentshigh-er than thequote from CentralClay Products, Piatt said.

American Asphalts quote forblacktop wasalso approved.Thatquote, through the COSTARSprogram,was $63.75for 9.5milli-liter, per ton and $57.50 for 19milliliters per ton.

ONLY

YESTERDAY

By Samantha Weaver It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the

following sage observation: You cant say civilization dont advance,for in every war they kill you a new way.

Elkhart, Ind., has the dubious distinction of being the RV capital

of the world. According to a survey by the magazine Vegetarian Times, if

youre a vegetarian, you have 3 percent of the U.S. population forcompany. Only half of 1 percent of Americans are vegans, consumingno animal products at all, whil e 10 percent say they follow a vegetar-ian-inclined diet.

The Hawaiian alphabet has only12 letters. According to the law in the town of Chester, England, if you catch

a Welshman within the city walls after the sun has gone down, youmay shoot him with a longbow.
