Street Sweeping Program
As the spring season quickly approaches, the Dallas Borough Road
Department has begun our annual Spring Street Sweeping.
The Road Department requests that Borough residents follow a few
simple instructions to assist the Road Department staff in the collection of
road cinders and materials deposited throughout the winter driving season.
Rake cinders out to the side of the road in even layers and avoid large
piles. Under no circumstances should cinders be swept into the stormwater catch basins. Do NOT fill containers with cinders in excess of 20-25
pounds. Heavy containers will not be picked-up. Do NOT include rocks,
tree limbs, yard or animal waste with the street cinders.
After the street sweeper has been to your street once, any remaining
cinders must be placed in containers for pick up.
Questions pertaining to this announcement should be directed to the
Dallas Borough Administrative Office at 570-675-1389.
Back Mountain Chamber Business &
Community Expo 2016
At a recent meeting of the Dallas Rotary Club, President Jason Jolley,
left, invited his father, Robert Jolley, to address the group. Mr. Jolley
is the Chief of Police of Dallas Township and the President of the Pennsylvania Police Chiefs Association. Chief Jolley discussed the Presidents Commission on Policing in the 21st century, looking back at 40
years in law enforcement, the positive policing that has been the norm
for the Dallas Township Police Department, and the Back Mountain in
general. A lively and informative question and answer period followed
his talk with members staying well beyond the usual meeting time.
On Wednesday, April 20, 2016 the Back Mountain Chamber will hold
its annual Business & Community Expo at Misericordia University, Dallas.
The Expo will be held from 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM with a historical presentation by Bill Bachman at 6:45 PM on Harveys Lake. Mr. Bachman is a Senior Instructor in Communications at the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus.
Bachman produced the documentary, “Harvey’s Lake…A Video Postcard,”
which catalogues the discovery and development of the Harvey’s Lake area
from the 1780’s through it’s heyday as a vacation destination in the 1960’s.
The Expo is free and open to the community.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase the diverse business community in the Back Mountain and to bring people together for the betterment of
our region,’’ said Alison Zurawski, co-chair of the Back Mountain Chamber Expo Planning Committee. “Our event also works as an introduction
to business owners who are considering opening or relocating their businesses here.’’ Expo registration is now available online at www.backmountainchamber.org. Sign-up today and reserve your table for the 2016 Expo.
To register, call 570-675-9380.

Presents Program on Family End of
Life Discussions
The Social Justice Committee of St Therese’s Church, Shavertown will
present It’s A Family Matter: Living With Advanced Illness, Dying Well, and
the Importance of Talking about It with Family on Thursday, April 14 at 1:00
p.m. The guest speaker will be Daniel Davis, PhD, Director of Bioethics at
Geisinger Health System. This is a must attend event for anyone living with
chronic illness, their family members, or anyone (young or old) interested in
advanced directives. Study after study has found that in the United States all
too often the care patients receive at the end of their lives is far from optimal.
The poor quality of end of life care is the outcome of several combined factors. One such factor is the reluctance of families to talk among themselves
about the end of life wishes of their individual members, especially those
who are struggling with chronic illness. This one-hour program focuses on
the importance of family conversations in the context of advanced chronic
illness, difficult, but necessary conversations about living and dying well.
The program includes useful information about chronic disease and its
impact on the physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being of patients
and their families. It concludes with a description of easy-to-use tools for
talking with family and with doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals about one’s own wishes and preferences for care at the end of life.
The program will be held in Fr. Sammons Hall, located in the church
basement. It is free and open to the public. For more information, please
contact the rectory at 570-696-1144.

boski, a library
staff member, will
be displaying his
Star Wars collection during the
month of April at
the Back Mountain
Memorial
Library. The collection consists of
an At-At Walker,
two model ships,
four large figures,
a model of Darth
Vader’s head, several regular sized
figures and many
more items.
Grzyboski has
been collecting
these items for 15
years. He began
after watching the movies. He has received several as gifts and has purchased the others. His favorite piece is the At-At Walker he found at a flea
market a few years ago.
Star Wars toys were originally manufactured by the Kenner Toy Company in 1978. Other toy companies have purchased the rights to produce
these toys over the years. With the release of each new Star Wars movie, the
toys would again go in production often being re-designed along the way.
Grzyboski believes with the popularity of the Star Wars movie released in
2015, Star Wars memorabilia will continue to be collectible for years into
the future. If you are a fan of Star Wars, young or old, come to the library
in April where you will enjoy seeing this collection.

THE FINANCIAL EQUATION:
Come Into a Large Sum of Money?
Take the Right Steps
By Martin A. Federici, Jr., CEO
of MF Advisers, Inc.
Coming into a large sum of money can be both
a blessing and a curse, depending on how you deal
with the financial AND emotional aspects of the
newly-found money. However, what most people
should be concerned with is how this money would
be best put to use. Creating a financial plan for the long term AND the short
term is often the best solution. Let’s go over the proper steps to take to make
sure you get the most out of this financial windfall! Assemble a trusted group
of advisors. These professionals should consist of:
a. a fee-based financial planner/fiduciary
b. an experienced CPA
c. an attorney who regularly deals with clients who experience
large money events
d. and possibly an insurance professional
Since they all work for you, they should be comfortable working with
each other to come up with the best solution for your scenario. If you need to
take the time to interview several candidates to hire for these positions, do it.
It’s worth it to have a trusted group that is acting in your best interest (a financial advisor who is a fiduciary can help direct traffic regarding these complex
money decisions).
Take some time before you spend or gift any bit of this money. Depending
on how you came into this money (inheritance, lottery, insurance proceeds,
trust proceeds, etc.), there may or may not be tax consequences. Your trusted
CPA should be able to help guide you best in this area. A good rule of thumb is
to not touch this money for 6 mos. – 1 yr. Instead, park it in some money-market accounts or CDs until financial plans have been put in place and are ready
to begin being executed. Don’t rush out and go on a crazy spending spree!
Keep things quiet. Don’t widely broadcast the fact that you’ve come into
this money. Don’t change your lifestyle overnight. If you don’t want every
supposed “friend” and long-lost relative to ask for your help with their money
woes, try to let only a very select few people know about this event. Otherwise, you will feel the pressure from others to act before your financial plans
are in place. No one should know who you don’t want to know, so make sure
those that you tell won’t open their mouths to others re: your recent change in
wealth status.
Stick to the financial plans you’ve created (with your trusted advisor group).
Depending on your age, goals, health, etc. there are things you probably want
and would like to do with this money. Certainly some of the money should
be earmarked for fun (a good rule of thumb is no more than 5-10% max); the
rest should be used prudently for whatever major financial goals you’d like to
work towards achieving. Paying off debts is usually a wise place to start (being
debt-free is always nice); saving enough for retirement is usually a big goal for
most as well. Whatever the financial goals are that you have, make sure that
you will always have enough money to attain said goals.
If you do happen to come into a large sum of money, don’t be in that group
that makes emotional financial decisions. You’ll find that you’ll run out of
your money very quickly (look up how many people who hit the lottery actually go broke shortly thereafter!). Now that you’re armed with this knowledge,
I hope you get to take advantage of it at some point in the future…you’re
welcome!
Find an experienced financial advisor who regularly advises his/her clients
to create solid financial plans, works for an RIA firm, earns his/her money
from fees (NOT commissions), believes in having an abundance of investment choices for clients, and has the heart & demeanor of a teacher, NOT
a salesman, and chances are you’ve found the right financial advisor to help
you prepare and plan for your financial goals. For more information, please

Legion Logbook
Daddow-Isaacs Dallas American Legion had
a a presentation concerning the sponsoring of the
Freedom Express coach at our Legion in June.
This coach has been assembled to venerate the veterans of all the Armed Forces who have enlisted to
enable the United States to be the freedom – loving country that it has become. The public will be
invited to experience a wonderful tribute to our
veterans. Plans are being discussed to make this a
thought-provoking, patriotic day. When these plans Clarence J. Michael
Past Commander
materialize, there will be more publicity to keep
Dallas American
you informed. When the exact date is publicized,
Legion, Post 672
mark it on your calendar. Let us all assemble on the
Post 672 grounds for this auspicious occasion.
District 12 honored the Essay Contest winners on Sunday, March 20
at their monthly meeting. Commander Lois Sewell presented each winner
with a medal, a check, and a certificate. Parents of the recipients also attended the meeting to honor their children. Third place winner was Raven
Moore, West Side Career and Technology Center; second place winner was
Michael Kovalick, Dallas High School, and first place winner was Lindsay
Okuniewski, Wyoming Valley West. Lindsay read her composition “What
Can We Do To Protect Our Borders” and received a round of applause. All
students were congratulated by the members that were present from the various Posts that make up the District. Lewis J. Price of Larksville Post #655
and John J. Mazur of Plymouth Post #463 sponsored Lindsay and were in
attendance to honor her. The Pennsylvania State organization sponsors an
Essay Contest yearly and information will disseminated in October.
We also learned at the District meeting the membership report for the
various Posts. Unfortunately, many of our stalwart World War II veterans
are dying, and the Legion needs to attract more younger members to carry
on our traditions. Adjutant George Tucker implores our current members
at each monthly meeting to tell about our community activities and try to
increase our membership.We need to spread the message. If any veteran
wants to join, contact any of our current members or come to our next
monthly meeting.
The annual Daddow-Isaacs Post 672 Ham Raffle to help raise money
for the Children’s Easter Party was held on the same day as the District
meeting, so John Emil, Sr., District officer, and I could not attend the raffle.
It proved to be a successful venture according to our Commander James
Baloga.
Jim also told me to mention our annual golf tournament which is held
in June. Legion members will be contacting people and businesses for hole
sponsorships and door prizes. We realize that there are many golf tournaments, but hopefully, the Legion Tournament will remain as one of your
favorites. Stonehedge in Tunkhannock will be the host and provide a steak
dinner and prizes. Keep us in mind.
I am currently reading one of the books purchased through our donation to the Back Mountain Memorial Library. It is entitled ISIS and gives
historical background to this ruthless organization. I’ve read it twice and
kept notes to decipher the names of individuals and lands with these jihadist beliefs. I recommend it highly. I also have read the book that Martha
Butler ordered on Amelia Earhart which is quite interesting. Speaking of
the library, the Legion just donated $200 for the track lighting in their new
renovation project. Our Legion is proud to help with community projects.
Since the Library was founded by veterans after the end of World War II, it
warms our hearts to be able to contribute.
Remember the A&K Grub Hub which serves some delicious snack
food.
Hopefully, everyone enjoyed EASTER. Our next meeting will be held
on April 5, 2016 at the Post Home at 7:30 PM. Commander Baloga invites
all current Legion members and prospective members to attend.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Susko Physical Therapy now open in Dallas, treating patients suffering Back Mountain
Library Author
from Migraines, Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia and more
By MB Gilligan
News Correspondent
“There are many people who
suffer from chronic pain and headaches and the techniques I use
seem to work quite well to help
them get relief,” said Chase Susko
of the physical therapy method he
specializes in called Myofascial
Release. “I was trying to help my
patients and I found that this is so
beneficial.”
Myofascial Release is a handson method in which the therapist
uses a gentle but sustained pressure
for a prolonged period of time to relieve tension in the fascia. This interconnected system of thin, tough,
elastic-like membranes covers most
of the muscles, nerves, bones and
organs in our bodies. Myofascial
Release was developed by John
Barnes, PT, who has trained over
100,000 therapists in this method.
Susko, who earned a Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy in
2008 from Misericordia University,
has participated in many of Barnes’
training courses as part of his Continuing Education. He plans to attend more courses in the near future
including ones that deal with pediatric pain relief.
“It is so safe and so mild that it
can be used on just about anyone,”
said Susko. “This system is not
just about one area, but treating the
whole person.”
Chase has recently opened Susko
Physical Therapy at 2800 Memorial
Highway in Dallas where he is using Myofascial Release to help his
patients who suffer from migraines,
fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.
MFR also helps patients to increase
their range of motion and can help
with
tension,
stress and fatigue.
In addition, it can
help to treat pain
associated with
scoliosis, plantar
fasciitis, sciatica
and carpal tunnel
syndrome, among
other chronic pain
issues.
Appointments
are available for
weeknights from
4 pm to 7 pm and
on
Saturdays.

Amore’ - Bridal Buzz
Happy Spring! I want to thank our customers who made our Winter Sale a huge success. I
know that there were a lot of special Valentines who
received scarves and jewelry that were purchased at
Amore.
The renovations in the building are almost complete. As I sold several jewelry display cases, I came
to the realization that I have hundreds of pearl necklaces that are classic and beautiful. They will be on
sale starting at $3.00. WHAT? I want to find a home
for them, so I am offering another sale this month.
Here are the details. We will have a 3 day SPRING CLEANUP SALE on
April 8, 9 & 10th. The entire store will be on sale. 30% off everything in
stock, including communion veils.
I have more exciting news. Bridal Trinkets now has a second location.
Our second location is 116 Ely Street, Kingston. We have teamed up with
Con-fete-ti, a great Wedding Event / Consignment store. Check out all the
professional wedding vendors located there. Go to the facebook page for
hours and times, and please remember to share. This business is a hidden
gem that is a must see for anyone getting married. You will find a treasure
trove of eclectic items for your wedding ... at bargain prices. Stop in and say
hi to Kelly, the owner of Lavender linens. I know that brides know other
brides, so do your friends a favor and spread the word.
I was happy to read that wedding gowns with long sleeves are making a
comeback. When she married Prince William, Kate Middleton’s dress featured long lace sleeves. Popularized by recent celebrity brides, like Ashley
Williams, expect this wedding gown inspiration to last well into 2016.
Rustic weddings will, once again, be popular. If this is of interest to you,
you might like want to check out rusticweddingchic.com. A big trend among
rustic and boho brides is to say goodbye to the traditional wedding veil and
opt for a fun flowery crown. The color trend that we will see is shimmery
neutral colors, from metallic bridesmaid dresses to gorgeous centerpieces.
Weddings are going Monochromatic this year. Less is more when it comes
to the color theme of the wedding. All you need is one color in a variety of
shades to create beautiful wedding.
Amore, which is our trendy jewelry and scarf section of the store is
packed with one-of-a-kind looks. While bold statement jewelry are still in
vogue, long simple chain necklaces with a pendant on the bottom are equally
as trendy. Please stop in and see for yourself. Enter your name in our drawing
box. You might win a customized pair of earrings of your choice ... together
we can design a special style just for you. No purchase necessary. Our hours
do vary, so I would suggest that you call us at 570-675-3105 for our weekly
hours. As always, appointments are always available. Don’t forget to like us
on facebook. Until next month, spread smiles and just breathe.

Drug Take-Back
Lake-Lehman High School Brings Broadway Tony Award Spaghetti Dinner
fundraiser planned Program
Winner to the Back Mountain
Broadway’s “Into The Woods” a multiple
Tony Award Winner, lands on the LakeLehman High School stage, on Saturday,
April 16 - curtain at 7:00 pm., and Sunday,
April 17 at 2:00 pm., presented by the awesome Lake-Lehman HS Theatre Troupe.
Lake-Lehman Junior and Senior High
Students have been in rehearsal since January 2016 to create this full length successful
production. Lake-Lehman Alumnus Gina
Major has Directed for Lehman since 2009,
and Musical Director on this show is William
Mentz. LL Theatre Troupe has a very strong
Adult Booster support team, ensuring this
production will have top notch costuming,
professional sets, and professional sound
and lights.
“Into The Woods” is truly an adventurous visual and audio treat for the entire
family--all ages will absolutely enjoy!! Reserved seats are $10, $8, and $6. See any LL
Theatre cast member or their parents, or call
volunteer Shannon, at 570-855-5874.
“Into The Woods” is an original story and
musical score created by the genius of James Lapine (book) and the incomparable Stephen Sondheim (music and
lyrics). The plot intertwines stories of Grimm Brothers and Perrault, and weaves them together in an adventure
twisted with the trials and triumphs of both fairytales AND REAL LIFE!. Several of the Main Characters are Red
Riding Hood/Wolf, Jack in the Beanstalk/Mom, Rapunzel/Hag, Cinderella/Princes/Stepfamily, plus many many
more insightful characters along the path of life. This original story is tied together by a childless Baker, his wife,
and their quest to begin a family. Their interactions to solve and find their dream of a family is interrupted, given
trials and hardships all along the way. While “Into The Woods” is so very entertaining for kids, the genius writing
of words and lyrics totally gives adults many modern associations to ponder on as they connect to every day life
struggles in very creative ways. “Into The Woods” debuted on Broadway in November 1987 winning Tony Awards
for Best Book, Best Score, and Best Actress.

a dedicated
member of
staff at the
pre-school
program at
Trucksville
United Methodist Church.
She was hired
in 1991 to teach our 4/5 year old program
at what was then Trucksville Nursery
School. Sharon brought a love of learning and excitement to her classrooms.
Always smiling and caring, she created a
warm and encouraging environment for
everyone who passed through her door
… children and parents alike.
In 1994 Sharon’s educational background and administrative skills were
recognized when she was hired as director of the school, a position she held until
2009. For 15 years, under her guidance,
the school grew. She was a part of the
expansion building committee, formed in
the late nineties, and played a key role in
helping raise funds for the new educational wing which was dedicated in 2001.
In particular Sharon loved science
and nature and fostered that love in her
students. She helped plan and develop the
school’s butterfly garden, which flourishes today. Those of us who worked with
Sharon fondly remember the butterfly release each year when the newly hatched
monarchs were let go into the sky above
to begin their 2000 mile journey to winter
in Mexico.
After she retired Sharon spent time
with the special people in her life … her
family, but sadly became ill and passed
away on June 30, 2015. In her memory,
the board of directors at Trucksville’s
Early Childhood Education Center (or
TECEC as the school is now known), has
decided to plant a flowering dogwood
tree on the church property, along with a
plaque noting her years of service.
The tree will be dedicated during the
school’s annual ice cream social on Saturday, April 23 (1-4 pm). The ceremony
will take place at 2.45 pm. The public is
welcome to attend. The board is raising
money for the tree and memorial plaque,
with any residual money being given to
the school’s scholarship fund. Anyone
wishing to contribute can send donations
to: Trucksville UM Church, 40 Knob Hill
Road, Trucksville, PA 18708.
Swoop leads the Harlem Wizards to take on the Lake-Lehman Black Knights
Submitted by Christin Snyder
The World Famous Harlem Wizards led by Dwayne
“Swoop” Simpson awed crowds of all ages at the LakeLehman Jr/Sr High School on March 7, 2016. Swoop,
standing at 6’ 7” tall, has been playing with the Harlem
Wizards since 2007. He heads up the “Swoop Unit” which
includes James “Road Runner” Tyndall III, Gerald “SkyWalker” Warrick III, John “Big J” Smith, Roscoe “Sarge”
Johnson and Justin “High-Rise” Johnson.
This was the third time the Harlem Wizards have come
to Lehman. In previous years the Broadway and DP units
entertained the community. This year fans enjoyed a whole
new show featuring comedic acts led by Swoop, fan participation and contests.
The Swoop Unit also played against teachers and staff
from Lake-Lehman School District. Players representing
Lake-Lehman High School included Jeff Hynick, Dwayne
Kalinay, Nathan Schlicter and Tiffin Hettes. Players representing Ross Elementary School included Jennifer Ferkel,
Amanda Shipula, Melanie Steele and Taylor. Players representing Lake Noxen Elementary included Lizabeth Gallagher, Melinda Gaus and Nancy Edkins.
Players representing Lehman Jackson Elementary included Donny James, Jen Welby, Vanessa Parry, Reagan
Hynick, Jan Albee, Allison Connell, Vanessa Spencer, and

also played. Finally, Lake-Lehman High School students
Katie Supey, Dominic Hockenbury, Garret Weston, Noah
Gorski, Adam Motovidlak, Ben Brooks and CJ Cercone
took on the Harlem Wizards during the third quarter of the
game.
Despite the event being rescheduled in January due
to snow, over eight hundred fans came out on a Monday
night for a great Community Event and fundraiser to benefit the Lehman Jackson Elementary Community Playground Fund. All of the children in the crowd were invited
on the court at the end of the game to celebrate with the
Harlem Wizards and Lake-Lehman Black Knight players.
At the end of the game, the Wizards stayed until every fan
had the autographs and photos they wanted.
Lake-Lehman Seniors Domi Glatz and Hayley Kozlowski volunteered with the Lehman Jackson Elementary
PTA to bring the Harlem Wizards to Lehman this year as
part of their Senior Project. The Lehman Jackson Elementary PTA ran the Harlem Wizards Event with the help of
many PTA volunteers, Lake Lehman Teachers and Staff
and student volunteers.
