New Life Community Church is looking for a new home. The church, located in the Twin Stacks Center along Route 415 in Dallas Township, began raising funds this year to find a suitable spot for its relocation. Pastor Gideon Gaitano said the main motivation for the move is space the church needs more of it. He said the church has about 75 members, and weekly attendance is between 80 and 90 people, on average, because many bring guests. The current space can only hold about 100 people. Gaitano said the church has been in the Twin Stacks Center for about three years, and since then its membership has more than doubled. The church has had a presence in the Back Mountain for about 30 years. We would like to stay in the Back Mountain, preferably here in town to remain accessible and visible, he said. Prior to the move to Dallas Township, Gaitano said the church was located in a barn, dubbed the Glory Barn, on Brace Road in Franklin Township. His offices are still located there, and the church occasionally holds events in its former location. It was very difficult to find a location in Franklin Township, said Gaitano. But the Bible teaches, Go and make disciples. A member of the church at the time had an office in the Twin Stacks Center and worked with the church and the owners to secure a new home.
Were very grateful to the owners of Twin Stacks Center, he said. Its given us the opportunity to grow. Gaitano said the location allowed the church to become more visible and accessible, which he attributes to the churchs growth. It also has to do with the way the Bible is being presented, he said. It has to be relevant and practical. We also emphasize evangelicalism and discipleship and teach that you are a witness of the abundance of life Christ offers. Gaitano said the church is looking for a place that can hold at least 300 people in the hope that the church membership will continue to grow. He said parking is also another important factor, but finding a building that looks like a church isnt. Were open to different options, he said. Preferably, well find a site where we wont have to do a lot of remodeling or restructuring. While many churches use their buildings as logos or representations of the community, Gaitano said the teachings of the church are the most important aspects of membership. Since we have no building, we have a discipleship message, he said. We are consistent with the four statements look to God, learn His word, love your neighbor, lead to Christ in everything we do.
Making dough is not really a guy thing, so Misericordia University student Brittany Kneal helps Robert Nichols from Lake-Lehman High School with the process at a collaborative bake and dinner as part of the teacher education program for people with special needs needs at the schools.
Lake-Lehman students from a life skills class broke bread with budding teachers Wednesday at Misericordia University for a Thanksgiving celebration. The meal signified the end of a semester-long education class at Misericordia in which the college students got hands-on experience working with special needs students. The life skills class at LakeLehman Junior-Senior High School is for students who need to learn adaptable skills, said teacher Lee Sikora. These are students who cannot be maintained in a learning support classroom, said Sikora, of Sweet Valley. Students mixed ingredients, kneaded dough and cut out cookies, then ate a traditional Thanksgiving meal while the cookies baked in an oven. Life skills student August Headley, 16, chose a reindeershaped cookie cutter to use while making sugar cookies. I like animals because theyre cute, she said. For many of the Misericordia students, the class was the first time they worked hands-on with special needs students. Most said it was an eye-opening experience.
They are such an inspiration. Ive learned the students can be verbal and engaging. Ive learned from them as much as theyve learned from me.

Lake-Lehman student August Headley and Nikki Pisacano from Misericordia University share table conversation during a Thanksgiving bake and dinner.
As a class we were apprehensive about how it was going to go, given the fact that the students had different disabilities and were all at different levels, said Tara Coughlin, 25, of Harveys Lake. The theme for the semesterlong class was international travel. Each week the life skills students were taught about a different country and its food, art, geography, traditions and music and dancing. The high school students were given passports that were stamped each week with special stickers. The Thanksgiving meal represented American traditions, and students made sugar cookies before enjoying a full spread of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other typical Thanksgiving fare. It was a huge learning
curve, said Coughlin. I learned that the students are higher functioning than I had initially guessed them to be. (My class) had discussions about how we underestimated them we were blown away. Sikora said throughout the year, the life skills students are constantly out in the community to educate themselves and others around them. We go shopping, we go to the bank, we go swimming, said Sikora. I try to get them out into the community as much as possible. Teacher Education Professor Molly Vitale, who teaches the methods and life skills class at Misericordia, said most college students dont have an opportunity to work with special needs students in their field work, so the class is a unique experience. With this prolonged experience, the students get to build relationships, she said. In special education, you get to see that people are people are people.
This is the second year Misericordia has worked with the students at Lake-Lehman. In previous years, students worked with the Circle of Friends program on campus, a college program dedicated to helping young women with special needs learn to live more independently. That program ended last spring due to lack of funding. Sikora said the life skills students parents tell her the students are now taking what they learned in the classroom and implementing it at home, such as making small meals for themselves. Its a transforming experience, she said. Brittany Kneal, 21, of Dallas, said shes grateful for the experience to work with the life skills students. They are such an inspiration, she said. Ive learned the students can be verbal and engaging. Ive learned from them as much as theyve learned from me.

The Dallas School Board unveiled a working mass evacuation plan to the public Monday evening. The plan states students will be transported to Lake-Lehman School District schools in the event of a catastrophic occurrence on the Dallas campus, and vice versa. Superintendent Frank Galicki said the plan is still a work in progress, and he hopes to have a drill of the evacuation upon coordination with both
districts schedules. I have communicated with first responders, local police, fire, administrators at the neighboring Lake-Lehman School District and developed this collaborative agreement, he said. At last months school board meeting, concerned parents pressed the board for more information about an emergency evacuation plan due to the ongoing natural gas development within 2,000 feet of the campus. Galicki told those parents an evacuation plan was put in place long ago, and evacuation

sites included Misericordia University, Irem Temple Country Club, the old Dallas Township High School building and Gate of Heaven School. He said after the storms of late August and early September when both districts hosted
many evacuees, the two superintendents got together to develop a plan. There are not too many areas now in the Dallas community where we could evacuate to, he said. Gate of Heaven School is no longer available,
the Dallas Township school is structurally a nightmare and theres no heat, so we wouldnt want to take kids there. Irem Temple pavilion can only house a couple hundred kids, so we had to look elsewhere. Galicki has also talked to the superintendent at Forest City Regional School District in Susquehanna County, an area where natural gas activity is prevalent. Hes going to e-mail me his plan, he told the audience. Galicki said he would include the public in future announcements regarding the plan.
Dallas Elementary repairs Rick LeBlanc, of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, told the board roof repairs will need to be made to Dallas Elementary in the near future. He said there are roof panels in three classrooms that are sagging as much as six inches, and they must be monitored closely until work can begin on the project. The board approved the estimated $15,000 project and will advertise for bids within the next month.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP
Lack of payment and a communication breakdown led Jackson Township supervisors to terminate a 49-year agreement with neighboring Larksville Borough during their November 7 meeting. In 1962, an agreement bound the two municipalities for shared maintenance of a mile of Steele Road, a dirt road. Jackson Township chairman John J. Wilkes Jr. said the agreement worked well for years. Jackson Township, well equipped to maintain dirt roads, used its manpower and machines and, in return, Larksville Borough paid $400 from its liquid fuels fund for the work, he said. Liquid fuels money is allocated by the state based on the mileage of roads within a municipality and is often earmarked for road repairs and related expenses. It worked flawlessly up until 2005, Wilkes said. That is when Larksville Borough stopped paying. To date, about $2,800 is owed to Jackson Township. Wilkes said several letters have been sent to Larkville Borough to clear up the balance due, but there seems to be a communication error. Honoring the terms of the agreement, Jackson Township
continued to maintain the road and has not received compensation for its services, Wilkes said. He explained in the past there were times when Larksville Borough would pay ahead or catch up on payments. Wilkes said about two months ago the borough council and township supervisors met. It went well, he said about the meeting. We had a good dialogue but there must be a breakdown of communication somewhere else. Wilkes said the two municipalities have worked well together in the past, sharing equipment and maintenance of a second road, Weavertown Road. Jackson Township has similar agreements with Plymouth and is a member of both the Back Mountain Community Partnership and the Back Mountain Regional Emergency Management Agency. Wilkes said the township would be willing to reinstate the agreement with Larksville Borough once the balance is paid. In other news Resident George Manzoni was hired as a part-time road department employee. Wilkes was appointed as the PEMA and FEMA designated agent. The next supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5 in the municipal building.

Borough Council Tuesday night voiced its opposition to HR 1950 and SB 1100, which would take away local municipalities rights to zone for gas drilling. Councilwoman-elect Michelle Boice stated, They are trying to take away the little rights that we have left in regards to the drilling industry. Councilman Larry Radel, in a letter to state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Twp., and state Rep. Karen Boback, RHarveys Lake, urged the lawmakers to vote no to the bills. In the letter, Radel stated that it is his responsibility to preserve the natural environment and protect its unique qualities. In other business Councilman Richard Williams III said he is supporting the Harveys Lake Fire Department regarding a potential change in dispatch service. At present, the fire
department, which is all volunteer, provides assistance to its residents. The 911 Emergency Communications Center is trying to take over the boroughs call boxes, so that the fire department will no longer be in charge of the dispatching. According to Williams, the fire chief said the 911 center does not have the authority to make this change and that they must provide documentation in order to do so. Fire Department President Ed Kelly said, The way it is now, emergency calls are dispatched immediatelyif the change takes effect, and there will be about nine minutes between the times of the alarm to the dispatch. Council approved payment to American Asphalt for the re-pavement of Perrego and Lewis streets. Funding for a new cruise was approved. It was reported that borough employees are still repairing storm damage to basins and driveway pipes.
Curious craft-goers flocked in and out of the Penn State WilkesBarre campus parking lot in Lehman Township for most of the day November 13 in support of the Arts at Hayfield Homespun Holidays Craft Fair. Hundreds of vendors sprawled the athletics and commons buildings for the show, the first fundraiser for the Arts at Hayfield program after the popular summer festival was canceled in August due to Hurricane Irene. Janis Winter, festival and craft show chairperson, said the cancelation was just the second time thats happened in the 25 years shes been involved with the group. We gave partial refunds to crafters and food vendors, said Winter. We had some money set aside in a stained glass restoration fund for the Hayfield House that we were able to use.
While the program took a slight hit financially, she said crafters were in more trouble as larger festivals like the Bloomsburg Fair were also canceled. Ive had crafters tell me that (their sales at) Bloomsburg Fair pay for their medical insurance for the year, said Winter. As a result of the cancellation, crafters were more apt to apply for a spot at the Homespun Holidays even, according to Winter, who received applications from crafters shed never even heard of prior to this year. Crafters Dolores and Jerry Frask, of Drums, were affected by the summer festival cancellation. The pair makes wooden shelves with hooks decorated with popular cartoon characters, country-themed paintings and other designs. (The summer festival cancellation) hurt, she said. This is the first time weve been here (at Homespun Holidays). Art Smith of A & A Crafts based in Stroudsburg said his
display of bird seed houses can only be set up during the fall months, so he just missed the financially-damaging fair cancellations in early September. He was concerned about setting up shop recently at a craft show in Tunkhannock, but Smith was surprised to see how many customers shopped for handmade gifts. Tunkhannock was one of the many hard-hit areas during flooding in early September caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. People are ready to get out, he said. Theyre ready to get a break. You can only clean up so much. Diane and Ralph Geiger, who own Ralphs Birdhouses based in Waverly, N.Y., said it was their
first time selling at the Homespun Holidays show, and they applied soon after the summer festival was cancelled. We wanted to make up for that loss, Diane said. The retirees have been crafting for about seven years, and this was the first time theyve been worried about weather affecting their sales. We were signed up for the Canton Apple and Cheese Festival but that was cancelled, she said. We had to go to other areas to make up that difference. Despite the dismal weather this year, many crafters remain undeterred. Dolores Frask said products from their business, Jerdee

The board of supervisors passed a proposed 2012 budget at its meeting Tuesday evening. The $2.5 million fiscal plan would keep property taxes at .52000 mills and the earned income tax at 1 percent. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value. Secretary/Treasurer Glenn Howell said the 2012 spending
plan hasnt changed much from last year in terms of funds, but expenses have generally increased due to inflation. The township received several applications and held multiple meetings every month for natural gas development issues, which caused increased costs for lawyers and engineers fees. Howell said there is an ebb and flow to the budgeting process, and the document has a habit of balancing itself out. For example, the township
usually budgets for paving projects in spring, but the wet weather caused the road department to focus more on cleanup efforts. Howell said the money always moves toward where it is needed most. The board will vote on the 2012 budget at its Dec. 20 meeting. The document is available for public inspection at the municipal building at 601 Tunkhannock Hwy., Dallas Township. In other news, the board heard from several residents who urged the township to get
involved in a petition circulating through neighboring municipalities opposing state legislation that would dissolve local zoning laws. Resident Diane Dreier said she would get a copy of the petition for the supervisors if they would consider signing it. Supervisor Phil Walter said the board has already expressed its ill feelings about the pending state law to local legislators state Sen. Lisa BakSee BUDGET, Page 11

DALLAS BOROUGH
The $3 million budget has a deficit of $153,138 and Reino said the supervisors didnt have any other choice but to increase property and earned income tax rates.
in, at most, $129,250 in revenue but Sebastian said earned income tax collection is unpredictable. Last week the board passed a $52 local services tax for nonresidents employed in the township. Reino said the board wanted to raise taxes evenly for everyone in the township so no one area was particularly hardhit. Sebastian said the amount of funds that surpass the deficit, $193,852, can be transferred into the capital improvement fund.
See BUDGET, Page 11
The budget will be available for public inspection at the municipal building at 25 Main St., Dallas.
The board of supervisors adopted the 2012 budget in a 4-1 vote and increased taxes in a 3-2 vote at a special meeting Wednesday. Supervisors James Reino Jr., Jeffrey Box, Frank Natitus and John Solinsky voted for the budget while Shirley Moyer voted against it. The $3 million budget has a deficit of $153,138 and Reino said the supervisors didnt have any other choice but to increase property and earned income tax rates. Reino, Box and Natitus voted for tax increases and Solinsky and Moyer voting against them. Property taxes will increase from .0004112 to .00075 mills. A
mill is $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value. Township Manager Kathleen Sebastian said this increase will generate an additional $177,740 for the township. Moyer said she opposed this tax increase because of concern for senior citizens in the township. They just got hit with increased school taxes and county taxes last year, so I was concerned about that, she said. Earned income taxes will also rise, from 1.50 to 1.57 percent, .5 of which is remitted directly to the Dallas School District. This hike is estimated to bring
Council approved the proposed 2012 budget at a meeting Wednesday evening. The $1,155,000 budget has no tax increases for next year. The property tax rate in the borough is currently 1.28 mills. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value. The earned income tax rate will stay the same at .5 percent, and the real estate transfer tax will remain at 1 percent. Borough Manager Tracey Carr said expenses were mostly unchanged. She said there are many projects ongoing after Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee swept through the borough, but the budget was built to handle those unforeseen
expenses. Were very careful financially, she said. The budget will be available for public inspection at the municipal building at 25 Main St., Dallas. Carr also said correspondence about residents flooding issues has been sent to the state Department of Environmental Protection for further guidance in addressing the complaints. Council approved three resolutions involving gaming grant applications. The borough will support the Back Mountain Community Partnerships grant application for a regional emergency management center and Lehman Town-
ships application for a new street sweeper. Council also approved an agreement with Misericordia University in which both parties will support one another on grant applications. Council reduced the police officers pension contributions to 2 percent and set non-uniformed employees contributions to 1 percent.

Dear Editor: I am humbly thankful for all who helped me in any way with the November 8 election. Anything we accomplish in life is not accomplished without help from others. My fellow Luzerne County Council members are a wonderful group with many varied talents. I am honored to be a part of these elected officials. I am sure I am not presumptive
when I say we are all appreciative to the voters. We must select a county manager and approve a budget. These are two daunting and very important tasks. I ask for all your prayers so we will be given the ability to work together and make logical decisions about the best use of the county taxpayers money. Eugene Kelleher Dallas Township

When cartoon icon Bugs Bunny first appeared, in 1935, he was called Happy Rabbit. If youre a cat owner, it probably will come as no surprise that cats spend approximately 80 percent of their time sleeping. Becoming a sports star is the dream of many young people, so you might think that someone who is signed to a professional baseball contract has it made. Youd be wrong, though; only one out of every 10 athletes who sign such a contract ever becomes a majorleague ballplayer. Youve certainly heard the old adage lightning never strikes twice but, strictly speaking, its not true. Technically, lightning always strikes twice. Each lightning bolt is made up of multiple bolts that travel the same path and strike the same spot in swift succession.

After making extensive cuts and increasing program fees last year, Reino said the board had its hands tied in preparation for the 2012 fiscal year. The major decision came down to increasing taxes or cutting personnel, and he said the latter would hurt the township more than help its financial situation. Nobody wants to do this, said Box. This is extremely painful. I can say that in my 20 years of history with the township, the financial situation here is the worst Ive ever seen. Reino also said the tax increases still wont cover the cost of badly needed paving projects in the township. This is a bare-bones in-

This year the township has dealt with two natural gas companies, Chief Gathering LLC and Williams Field Services LLC, to ensure local zoning and subdivision and land development ordinances applied to the companies plans for natural gas development in the township. Tolomello said if this legislation passes, all of that work would go to waste at the taxpayers expense. Walter said if board members receive a copy of the petition, they will consider signing it.

Fundraising scheme victims Galicki announced those who were affected by the PSAT fundraising scheme headed by former guidance counselor John Wolensky may apply for reimbursement until the end of this year. Wolensky pocketed money from a fundraiser conducted from 1997 to 2008 in which students were overcharged as much as $15 for a practice SAT test. He also took money from student meal accounts and football helmet funds. Wolensky pleaded guilty to a theft charge in February 2009 and was sentenced to two years probation. He admitted to taking $24,683 and was ordered to pay restitution to the district for the misappropriated funds, but a report released last year from the state auditor generals office contended Wolensky may have taken more than double that amount. The money Wolensky paid back to the district was placed in an escrow account, and any
unclaimed funds will be used to aid students who cannot afford to pay for certain tests. To make a claim, visit the Dallas School District website at www.dallassd.com.
