    The DallasSenior Centerclosedearlierthismonthduetosafetyand visibility concerns, and local se-niors are worried another centerwont comesoon enough.

    Trula Hollywood, executive di-rectorof theAreaAgencyon Agingfor Luzerne and Wyoming coun-ties, said an issue with flooringposed safety concerns and wouldhave been tooexpensiveto fix.

    We vacated that building be-cause of safety issues, she said.There were issues with possible

    falling, and cars having difficultymakingturnsin theparkinglot. Wewanted to be more visible in thecommunity and have a largerspace, as well.

    She also said there were mois-ture problems in the building,which caused the floor to buckle.The flooringwas installed in 2009through a grant, and LuzerneCounty chose the contractor in-volvedin theproject.

    Thecenterwasatenantatthe22Rice St., Dallas location for about25 years. The building was oncethe site of the Back MountainMe-morial Library Auction, and thesurrounding grounds were usedfor firemensbazaars.

    TimCarroll, owner of thebuild-ing and borough mayor, said theagency must pay for the flooringbecauseitsinstallationwas a viola-tionof thelease.

    He said he was never notifiedthattherewasanissuewiththefor-mer flooring and was surprised toseenew flooringinstalledin 2009.Hesaid it wasnt installed properly,which caused the linoleum floor-ingto bubblein areas.

    Carroll estimated it would costabout $4,800 to repairthe floor.

    Carroll said he also was nevertold of any other problems withinthe building. He said other issuesthat were expressed to him werepromptly remedied.

    The crunching sound of metal-lic foil moving in all directionsmarked the first-ever Family Sci-ence Challenge at Wycallis Ele-mentary on March 8.

    Seventy-three families, or 295people, raced to see who couldplan and create a float that couldhold the most pennies using alu-

    minum foil and plastic straws inan hour.Nicole Valkenburg, fourth-

    grade teacher and elementarysci-ence coordinator, found informa-tion about the program throughtheNationalScienceTeachersAs-sociation and contacted thefounding teacher to see how toget started.

    It was an article about doingsomething like this with a class,something simple, she said. Ibrought it up to the Parent-Teach-er Organization president to dothis as a family event and I wasshockedby theresponse 20fam-ilies wanted to participate bythen.

    The project was kept a secretuntil the night of the event, and

    families chatted nervously in an-ticipation for the task at hand.

    Diane Pocono, of Shavertown,worked with her two daughters

    and husband on the simple sci-ence project.

    I think this was a great idea

    what a turn out, she said of thecrowded cafeteria.She said 9-year-old Shelby

    raced home with the permissionslip inhandand begged hermoth-er to participate.

    I love science and I love creat-ing stuff, said Shelby Pocono.

    TheNelson familys floatheavi-ly depended on the skills of Mar-cia, the Nelson boys grandmoth-er, during the event. She strug-gled to twist the foil around thestraws as young Dominic NelsonPalmatier looked on.

    She cooks at home and uses alot of aluminum foil, so I thoughtshe would be good at this, jokedMarcia Nelsons husband, Ge-orge. I expect to win.

    And they did. Their float held

    the most pennies of the night 203.

    Leigh McGlynn, of Shaver-town, took her son Casey to the

    science challenge not expectingtowin,but tospendmore time to-gether.

    We dont get to do things likethis too often, said McGlynn.Its nice to have new activitiesand to have fun.

    The Redmond family quicklygot to work once the instructions were revealed. Bob Redmondtoyed with the straws as his chil-dren,Samantha andR.J.,drewupplans for their float.

    Its about buoyancy andweight distribution, but I wont

    say anything else, said Bob Red-mond as he kept his plans secret.

    TracieRedmond, thematriarchofthe family, wasthebrainsof the

    operation while her husband wasthe brawn.

    My husband loves this heloves any type of challenge, shesaid.

    Wycallis principal Dr. Paul Re-inertwalkedaroundthe cafeteria,observing families projects.

    This helps the parents under-stand what engaging learning isallabout,he said. This isa greatuse of the community buildingand kids get to spend time withtheir parents. Its great stuff.

    Valkenburg hopes it will be-

    come an annual event.In this bad economy, its nice

    tohavefreethingslikethistodo,she said.

    The Back Mountain Com-munity Partnership dis-cussed how to proceed with

    its emergency managementagency center at a meetingMarch 15 after receivingmoney from gaming funds.

    The partnership appliedfor a grant to renovate a for-mer medical building onRoute 118 in Lehman Town-ship into a regional emer-gency management agencycenter.

    Dallas Fire & AmbulanceInc. purchased the buildingin 2010 with the hopes ofeventually building a similarcenter. The project also in-cludes the construction of apole building on the 9-acreproperty.

    The space will be used forequipment and medical sup-

    ply storage, partnership andother civic organizationmeetings, emergency re-sponder training, sleepingquarters for evacuees and acontrol center for the BackMountain Regional Emer-gency Management Agency.

    Joe Chacke of NEPA Alli-ance said the partnershipmust decide whether itsplans to scale back on theproject or attempt to secureother funding for the pro- ject. The group initially re-quested $1.2 million for thep roject but rec ei ved$975,000.

    Chacke said the partner-ship could choose to scale

    back the facilitys plans orfind funding elsewhere.Chairman James Reino Jr.

    said the partnership hasmany options, but wanted todiscuss the issue with mem-bers of Dallas Fire & Ambu-lance Inc., the buildingsowner, before making a deci-sion.

    Th e partn ersh ip a ls oheard from Roger Heydt ofCentral Tax/Don WilkinsonAgency, who presented waysofficials can research wheth-er an address is located

    within, and paying propertaxes to, a municipality.

    He said the passage of Act32 will help remedy some ofthose concerns, but public websites allow officials todouble-check residents ad-dresses.

    Reino said the municipal-ities want a workable elec-tronic document to checkaddresses against the infor-

    mation they find throughpersonal research.

    Heydt said its possible toprovide that information,but the method would needto be approved by the TaxCollection Committee.

    The partnership also ap-proved a motion to send aletter to local legislators tosupport state House bills1329 and 1685 related tochanging the prevailing wage laws.

    The current prevailingwage law, passed in 1961, re-quires that workers on gov-ernment projects exceeding$25,000 be paid a rate set bythe state secretary of labor

    and industry rather than anumber based on local mar-ket rates.

    House Bill 1329 would setthe project rate at $185,000to correspond with marketinflation. House Bill 1685would require the secretaryof labor and industry to de-velop a uniform list of work-er classifications.

    Reino said the current lawcovers most projects withintownships, which can causefinancial hardships.

    The next Back MountainCommunity Partnershipmeeting will be held at 3p.m. on Thursday, April 19in the Sandy & Marlene In-salaco Hall at Misericordia

    University, 301 Lake St.,Dallas Township.

    Despiteparentsrequests,theLake-Lehman School Board will not make changes to thisyears academic schedule.

    A resolution to change the2011-12calendar wasprinted onthe agenda for Mondays meet-ing, but Superintendent JamesMcGovern said it was removedfrom the recommended actionlist because of a lack of boardsupport.

    Thegraduation dateis setfor

    June13,seven daysafterthelastday of school. The date is oftenfurther from the last day ofschool in case there is need toadd extra days to the calendarfor snow and other cancella-tions throughoutthe year.

    For example, the 2012-13 cal-endarapprovedon Mondayeve-ningsetsJune3asthelastdayofschool and June 7 as gradua-tion. McGovern said if therearent any snow days, the datecould be changed next year.

    Parent Amy Spess said the2011-12 graduation date shouldbe moved to June 6 to corre-spondwith studentsschedules.

    McGovern said there wereseveral issuesat hand, from stu-

    dents families making plans tothe cost of transporting kids toand from graduation practicesthroughout the week. He alsosaid theres a chance the week-longbreak in betweenthe datescould affect graduation attend-ance.

    Hesaidhe neverexpectedthewinter tobe asmildas itwasaf-ter the two tropical storms thatdelayed the start of school aweek in late August and earlySeptember. The school calen-dar hadenoughdaysscheduledto make up for this occurrence.

    McGovern said the issuewould have to have been voted

    on Monday because a gradua-

    tiondate changein April wouldbe too short of a notice for stu-dentsfamilies.

    McGovern also announced aVera Bradley bingo event thatwassetforMarch 24at thehighschool. Vera Bradley handbagswere to be chanced off duringthe event, which benefits theLastKnight Lock-In. McGovernsaid if $5,000 is raised, he willshavehis head.

    McGovern said there were

    several issues at hand, from

    students families making

    plans to the cost of trans-

    porting kids to and from grad-

    uation practices throughout

    the week. He also said theres

    a chance the week-long break

    in between the dates could

    affect graduation attendance.

    The LifeSmarts program istrue to its name.

    Students in grades ninethrough 12 learn tidbits of infor-mation in five different catego-ries related to consumer affairs personal finance, consumerrights and responsibilities,healthand safety, technology andthe environment that can helpthem when they want to dothingslikeset up a retirement ac-

    count or fix a computer.In other words, students dont

    gain book smartsor streetsmartsfrom the program run by the Na-

    tional Consumers League theylearn life smarts.

    But the Dallas High Schoolteam might be more preparedthan most young people to takeon those tasks the team recent-lywon firstplacein thestateLife-Smarts competition and willcompetein nationals forthethirdtime.

    Five team members GatesPalissery,Amber Habib,Sara Hu-dak, Samuel Reinert and teamcaptain Decklan Cerza will at-tend the national competitionApril 21-24 in Philadelphia.

    Kevin West, LifeSmarts teamcoach, said its very exciting tohavethe team represent Pennsyl- vania at the national event in

    their home state.Two years ago we went to na-

    tionals in Miami, Florida, hesaid. In 2010, the team placed10th out of 32 teams across thenation.The teamalso traveled toOrlando, Fla. in 2003 and placedthird in the country.

    West said the team won at thestates this year without beingable to size up the competition.Although usually held in Harris-burg through the state Office ofthe Attorney General Bureau ofConsumer Protection, this yearsstate competition was held on-

    linethisyear due tolackof fundsfor the program, West said.

    Thestate competition involvesnine of the top-scoring teams

    from across the state. The stu-dentscouldntsee whotheir com-petitors were, but managed tostill finish on top.

    West quizzes the students withquestions that have been previ-ously asked, but students knowthe difference between memoriz-ing the questions and learningthe principles behind them.

    There are questions that aresimilar, like with the cooling offrule in which you can cancel pur-chases three days after makingthem if you were under emotion-al distress, said Palissery, 17, of

    Dallas. Theyll ask you howmany days do you have to cancel

    Were all familiar with the act of CPR - we often see a film ortelevision character come to the rescue and save a life using thetechnique. And on TV, according to a recent study, CPR is shown asbeing successful 75 percent of the time. The reality is not quite sorosy, though. A study conducted in 2010 found that when CPR is usedin real life, only about 8 percent of the patients were still alive afterone month. Of those who did survive that long, 97 percent couldntlive a normal life.

    something he read in a textbook.My parents told me they

    didnt even know some of thethings (Ive learned), he said.

    Though there are about 20people in the LifeSmarts club,five are weeded out through in-house competitions to see whowill perform at the state level.

    This years group is the young-est in recent memory, said West, with most being freshmen orsophomores.

    The only state competitionveteran is SaraHudak,15,of Dal-las, who advanced to the finalgroup in her freshman year. Shesaid the experience was terrify-ing, but she admits her Life-Smarts skills are what got her tothat point.
