    During a visioning session onJan. 29, Jack Varaly, a consultant

    to thetownshipsComprehensivePlanCommittee, reported there-sults of the American Communi-ty Survey, an ongoing activity ofthe U.S. Census Bureau.

    The township is in the processof developing a comprehensiveplan to identify issues regardingthefuture ofthe townshipand da-tacollected bythe Census will be

    used in the plan.Varaly said,although thetown-

    ship population continues togrow steadily, the period of rapidgrowth has passed. The medianage of township residents is 44.3

    and only 12.3 % of its residentsare school-aged children.

    Theres a lot of empty-nestersnow,he said.Of the3,333house-holds in the approximately 18.7square miles of the township,99% of its occupants are whiteand primarily of German, Irish,Italian and Polish descent.

    Varaly also reported that the

    average home value in the town-ship is $182,400.

    Thats well above that of thecountyor stateand its among thehighest in the Back Mountain ar-ea, he said, adding that Jackson

    Townships average home value

    is the highest at $218,000. In-vesting in housing in DallasTownship is a worthwhile invest-ment.

    Part of the process of develop-ing a comprehensive plan is up-dating the townships maps and

    ordinances. The committee dis-cussed thetownships zoning dis-tricts and the possibility ofchanging the designation ofsome areas.

    Varaly suggested rezoning

    some Agriculture-zoned areas(A1) to a Conservation designa-tion, which could protect lan-downers from oil and gas usessuch as compressor stations andprocessing plants. It makessense to be in a conservation dis-trict, he said.

    Therese Kosek, a member ofthe Visioning Committee, said

    shes concerned about losinggreen space along the highwaybusiness district on state Route415.Idhateto seethe whole cor-ridor of land turn into one longstrip mall to Harveys Lake, she

    said.Varaly pointed outthat zon-ing modifications can be madefor set-back requirements andsign height.

    Thegroup will meetagain at10a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7 in themunicipalbuildingand alsoat itsregularmeetingheldat 7 p.m. onthe last Monday of each month,as needed.

    Varaly said, although the township population continues to grow

    steadily, the period of rapid growth has passed. The median age

    of township residents is 44.3 and only 12.3 % of its residents are

    school-aged children. Varaly also reported that the average home

    value in the township is $182,400.

    On a cold Sunday afternoon,far from their cozy living roomsand football games, a group ofdancers andtheir faithfulparentspiled into the Back MountainDance Studio ofBob andKristineOberst to celebrate a phenom-enal victory.

    While the feathered and se-quenced Back Mountain dancershave won competitions before,never have they won this manytrophies and cash - a total of

    $4,300.The competitions are run by

    the Performing Arts Alliancewhich, accordingto its website, isconsideredone ofthe bestdancecompetitions on the East coast.

    Competitions are held in Mayand November and dancers orteams that place first, second orthird in those competitions aretheneligibleto competein a Con-test of Champions in January.

    Oberst says the local studio of-ten wins parts of the competi-tion, but this year its more like asweep. Local dancers took thegrand championships in four agegroups:in solo performance ages8 to9;10to12,13to15plusa duo

    /trio championship in the 16 to18 age group. Two groups com-petedandwoninthe8to9and10to 12 year old bracket and there

    was a Grand Champion for Mod-eling from the school.

    As if that wasnt enough, 12-year-old Nick Oberst, son of thestudio owners, won as best soloentertainer of the year and thegroup Locomotion won $1,000for having the most entertainingroutine of the year.

    Its enough to take onesbreathaway,said Oberst.It wasa big surprise.

    The competition involves over500 contestants from about adozen dance studios from NewYork, New Jersey and Pennsylva-

    nia.The Obersts have owned and

    operated the Back Mountain

    Dance Studio since 1990 andhave won honors for their schooland their choreography.

    Jace Garnick is the solo Grand Champion in the10 to12 year-old category. Entertainer of the Year Nick Oberst holds one of his trophies over his head. The Back MountainDance Studio won $4,300 in cash and swept a regional dance competition in southern PA.

    It was Simon Cameron, who served as secretary of war underPresident Abraham Lincoln, who made the following sage observa-tion: An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will staybought.

    You might not be surprised to learn that some people who playvideo games can become rather obsessed.

    In the early 1990s, a couple in Milwaukee was curious about thevalue of a painting they had displayed in their home, so they invitedan art expert to evaluate the piece. The painting in question turnedout to be of little relative value, but the expert noticed another work,a still life with flowers, that the owners believed to be a reproductionof a Van Gogh. Imagine this couples surprise when the work turnedout to be an original1886 painting, which later sold at auction for$1.4 million.

    THEDALLAS POST

    Sports

    As neighbors and rivals, theDallas girls basketball team hasseen a lot of Lake-Lehman.

    The Lady Mountaineers, how-ever, had never seen the LadyKnights look quite like they didin the Jan. 26 game.

    No one had.They came to see us play

    multiple times, said sophomorecenter Cayle Spencer, whoscored a career-high 33 points tolead Lake-Lehman to a 72-63 up-set. Weve never played that

    well.With Spencer making strong

    inside moves to the basket andEmily Sutton hitting all four ofher 3-point shots in a 22-pointeffort, Lake-Lehman nevertrailed while knocking off the

    Wyoming Valley Conference Di-

    vision 1 leaders on their homefloor in the first Black and BlueRivalry Trophy Game.

    The annual game now fea-tures a trophy sponsored by theDallas Lions Club which will bedisplayed at the school of the

    winning team throughout theyear.

    Lake-Lehman coach CharlieLavan agreed with his leadingscorer. The Lady Knights pickedtheir rivalry game for their besteffort of the season.

    Our Crestwood game wasclose, but it was not like this,Lavan said.

    Lake-Lehman entered the daytied for seventh place out of 18teams jockeying for seeding po-sition in the District 2 Class

    AAA playoffs and as a third-placeteam in Division 2 of the WVC.

    The Lady Knights used the non-conference game to show theirpotential for the playoffs that are

    weeks away.Its a big rivalry game for us,

    Lavan said, but its also a gaugeto see where we are with theseClass Triple-A teams. We movedup to Class Triple-A this yearand this was encouraging.

    That was clear in the first 1:47when Lake-Lehman forced threeDallas turnovers and scored thegames first six points, convinc-ing Lady Mountaineers coachKelly Johnson to use her firsttimeout.

    They werent expecting thatfrom us, Spencer said. We

    played harder than we everplayed.

    Lake-Lehmans hustle was evi-dent from the start. The LadyKnights made six steals in thefirst quarter and, at the midwaypoint in thesecondquarter, werecrushing the Lady Mountain-eers, 18-6, on the boards.

    That was all on effort, Lavansaid. The girls had their mindsmade up they were going tomake a total effort. They did.

    Spencer had 11 points in thegames first seven minutes, cre-ating a 22-9 lead.

    Lake-Lehman opened thewrestling season with anotherchampionship-caliber team, butone that was in position to giveaway points in every match be-cause it could not fill the 106-

    pound weight class.Rebecca Wright spent parts ofthe last three years telling herfamily shewould like to trywres-tling.

    When they connected a fewweeks into the season, the BlackKnights solved a problem and

    Wright got a chanceto try a sportthat, in 2011-12 in Pennsylvania,

    was exclusively for boys.I wasnt a fan of the idea to be

    honest,said Bob Wright, Rebec-cas father and president of theLake-Lehman Wrestling ParentsClub. She does competitivecheerleading, which is very de-manding of her time.

    Shes wanted to wrestle forthe last three years.

    OnceRebecca hada discussionwith the Lake-Lehman coach, itwas time to talk about her idea at

    home again.

    Robert Wright, Rebeccas olderbrother and a two-year starterwith the Black Knights, helpedwith the process.

    I had to convince my dad,said Rebecca, who is a footballcheerleader at Lake-Lehman anddoes cheerleading competitionoutside of school. My brotherhelped me.

    It was not the last time Roberthelped Rebecca with wrestling.

    He gave me a lot of advice,Rebecca said. He helped me

    with the moves.And,he keptan eye onhislittle

    sister. While he says he is protec-tive of Rebecca, Robert said histeammates have accepted her

    well.

    They were allpumped andex-cited tohave herontheteam,hesaid.

    Accordingto the National Fed-

    eration of State High School Ath-letic Associations annual Athlet-ics Participation Survey, 9,920boys at 496Pennsylvaniaschoolsparticipated in wrestling on thehigh schoollevel in 2011-12.Not asingle girl competed.

    On the national level, 272,149boys wrestled for 10,407 schools

    while8,235 girlswrestledat 1,441schools, with California and Tex-as accounting for more than halfof those participants.

    At Lake-Lehman, Rebecca hasbeen able to help her team whilestill learning the sport.

    She has picked up six teampoints for the Black Knights onsix occasions, gaining forfeit

    wins when opponents could not

    fill the weight class.Shewantsto bringmoreto the

    team.

    She said she wants to wres-tle, Lake-Lehman coach Tom

    Williams said. She doesnt wantto stand there and take forfeits.She comes into the wrestlingroom and works at it.

    Rebecca ran into one reluctantopponent, who did not want tohave to wrestle her when they

    were paired up at a tournament.

    While much attention hasbeen thrust on these competi-tions by shows like Dance

    Moms, the competition isntanywhere near as intense forthis group.

    Sara Pizzo has been compet-ing for the last 10 years. I lovethe atmosphere, she said. Itsexciting; you get an adrenalinerush and it pushes me to do bet-ter.

    Carly Kappler said, I wasntnervous because it was my fa-

    voriteroutine - a solo tap routine

    - and it was the first time I wongrand champion.

    Enthusiastically, Jamie Bon-

    sall says, The best part is to betogether with my school forcompetition. We all get alongand work together.

    Eyes bright, shining with de-votion, Nick Oberst says of thecompetition, I love it, all of it.Ill never get tired of it, espe-cially now that he has $450 of

    prize money in his pocket thathe hopes to use as a down pay-ment on a car or truck.

    She lost each of her first threematches on the mat, but ap-proached a breakthrough whenshe took a lead after a period

    against Wyoming Area and was

    still in a close bout before beingpinned in the final 20 seconds.Williams pointed out that

    womens wrestling is part of theOlympics andis offeredat somecolleges in addition to highschools in other parts of thecountry. Wright, however, hasnot yet seen any wrestling

    matchesother thanthosewhere

    she is the lone girl competingwith the boys.As the Black Knights pre-

    pared to pursue the District 2Class AA Dual Meet Tourna-ment title this weekend, Wright

    was busy getting herselfready tohelpthatpursuit asmuch as pos-sible.
