Auction finds

Special to The Dallas Post

Youd be surprised at what goes across the block sometimes

What do a baby lamb, an oddshaped vase, a Nancy Drew book and a antique dress have in common? If you guessed that they are all items that have been purchased at previous Back Mountain Memorial Library Auctions you are correct. Many patrons have responded to our informal survey and have reported that just about anything can be found at the Auction. Although most people wanted to remain anonymous about their previous purchases, a few brave shoppers were willing to share their stories. Lucy Messersmith, of Dallas, tells the story of her fathers surprise auction win back in the 1960s when livestock animals were the highlight of auction fun. Lucys father was the lucky high bidder of a baby lamb, and that night was definitely an unforgettable one for Lucys family.

Supervisors learn about Smart911 service

Susan Bettinger
Dallas Post Correspondent

Dallas Township

Back Mountain Regional representative Chief Harry Vivian discussed the Smart911 service at the July 2 supervisors meeting. The Luzerne County service is free and secure. Residents create a safety prole where they enter vital medical information on the Smart911.com website. The information will be immediately displayed to emergency responders in cases where the caller is unable to respond to questions regarding medications and medical

conditions. The prole will also give immediate information on any residents or pets that may be trapped in a home in the event of a re. Another feature of the service is that it shows photos and gives descriptions of children in cases of missing or runaway children. The service is used by police departments, re departments and ambulances and saves time in emergency situations. It is 100 percent private and secure and can be used in partnership with other counties throughout the United States who utilize the Smart911 service.

In other business: The board of supervisors is moving forward with plans to purchase a 2012 Bobcat Skid Steer for $43,187.36 from Costars. The vehicle has a universal front end for different attachments, including an asphalt grinder which will need to be rented on a monthly basis. The cost of the vehicle falls within the budget of $50,000 allotted for the purchase. The supervisors were scheduled to take formal action on the matter at the end of the week. There was a discussion regarding a track of vacant

land given to the Kunkle Fire Department which should have been put on the tax exempt rolls but wasnt. Supervisors have agreed to accept service from the re department in order for it to claim tax exempt status. Solicitor Tom Brennan said the board will look into making the service agreement retroactive for the 2011 and 2012 tax years, giving the re department tax exempt status beginning with the 2011 tax year and moving forward. Also up for discussion was the requirement for the township to provide an impound lot for towed vehicles. Chairman

Frank Wagner suggested a location that is already partially fenced and has room for three to four vehicles. The entire lot would need to be fenced and given approval prior to being used. Engineer Tom Doughton and the supervisors discussed the proposed 2013 OCD project - a foot bridge near the Kunkle Fire Station. Doughton stated the DEP permit for the project was submitted earlier in the day and added he thinks the bridge will cost less than the $40,000 budgeted for it. The bridge will likely be ve or six feet wide, accessible

for 2-way trafc, as well as for handicapped citizens scooters. There was concern that, because the bridge is excessively wide, residents would use the bridge for quads and ATVs. The previously scheduled public hearing to consider and solicit public input and comment on a proposed ordinance to amend the townships Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance has been re-scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, and will be followed by the board of supervisors meeting at 7 p.m.

moments In tIme
The History Channel * On July 15, 1888, the Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The eruption left an 8,000foot crater in the earth. In the aftermath, the ash from Bandai dimmed the sun slightly worldwide for months. * On July 21, 1899, Ernest Miller Hemingway, author of such novels as For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, is born in Oak Park, Ill.

Paige Selenski celebrates birthday in big way

Tom Robinson
For The Dallas Post

SPORTS

The United States womens eld hockey team is trying to prove it is better than it showed in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Dallas High School graduate Paige Selenski is part of that process while trying to show she can be a better player at 23 than she was as a 22-year-old Olympian and college All-American. You can always improve in multiple areas, Selenski said in a telephone interview last month after being named to the latest Womens National Team. Selenski showed an increase in scoring prowess on the international level while celebrating her 23rd birthday in England on June 30 with a hat trick during a 6-0 win over Italy in

the World League Seminals. Defensively, I can improve and I need to improve in the scoring circle on the international level, Selenski said prior to the tournament. You dont get a lot of time to shoot when youre playing against the best players in the world. You really have to keep working on your skills every day. For me, thats really in the attacking 25. No one attacked better than Selenski for the United States when it nished strong following a rough start in the World League Seminals where it was hoping to lock up a guaranteed spot in next years World Cup. Selenski nished with ve goals in the six-game tournament. The United States lost its rst four games and the hopes of clinching the World Cup berth early. After losing

any hope of nishing in the top four, the team came back to win its nal two games and improve its hopes of still earning a spot in the World Cup in The Netherlands. Selenski scored the rst goal in a 3-1 win over Spain on June 29. She forced a penalty corner 25 minutes into the game then scored on that corner. The win meant the United States would end the event with a game against Italy to determine fth and sixth place out of eight teams in the eld. Italy had defeated the United States, 2-1, during the pool play portion of the tournament. Selenski, the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year while at the University of Virginia, helped make sure the rematch had a different result.

The United States was up, 2-0, when the Shavertown resident scored three goals in a 10-minute span of the second half to break the game open. There is a real solid work ethic and a hunger to learn, Team USA coach Craig Parnham said of the teams performance, according to a story on the USA Field Hockey website. We are excited about the future of this group. The United States can qualify for one of the remaining World Cup spots based on world rankings and nish in the World League Seminals. Continental champions also qualify. The team has returned to the United States to prepare for its continental championship, the Pan American Cup in Mendoza, Dallas native Paige Selenski celebrated her 23rd birthday on June 30 by scoring a hat trick during a 6-0 win field hockey win over Argentina in late September.

Little League All Star Action

Back Mountain American had to battle to the end to defeat Bob Horlacher, 11-6, in the District 31 Little League Major division winners bracket nal. American, the defending champion, was scheduled to play at home Friday against the team that emerges from the elimination bracket and can win the title with a victory. Horlacher was set to host the leimination bracket nal Wednesday, playing Northwest. American lead-off hitter Michael Luksic hit the second pitch he saw over the left-eld fence as part of his 4-for-4 day. Ethan Zawatski followed and did the same, swatting the second offering over the right-center fence. The hits were part of a four-run rst for American. Horlacher clawed back within 6-2 in the bottom of the second, using American errors and an RBI single by Tyler Faux to score the runs. But again, American struck for four runs, this time in the fourth. Luksic had an RBI double, Derek Answini had an RBI single
