    Anybody need the bucket? RuthieSkammer asked cheerfully as she

    walked into her wellness class at Dal-las High School on April 17.

    The students were just beginning todissect cow eyes as part of a visitingpresentation by the Da Vinci ScienceCenter in Allentown.

    But the bucket went unused. Somestudentslookeda bitsqueamishbut all

    were attentive as their classmates cutinto the eyes and placed the differentparts in a tray provided for them.

    Skammer teacheswellness andis thewellness chair for Dallas High School.

    For those who have been out of highschool for a while, wellness classes

    combine traditionalphysical educationclasses and health classes.

    Skammer brims with enthusiasmwhen discussing her chosen field.

    She said the Da Vinci presentationswere made possible by a grant she ap-plied for after attending a presentationon organ and tissue donation aware-ness. She received $3,927 to enrich theclassroom experience.

    Skammer explained that one of DaVincis presentations involved dissec-tion and that the other used brain sen-sory activities to teach students howtheir brains work.

    The bridge, which was closed onApril 16, 2012, re-opened to traffic on

    April 21. A ribbon-cutting ceremonywas planned for April 26.

    Were relieved, Kingston TownshipManager Kathleen Sebastian said of the

    bridges opening. Its beautiful. Theydid a fantastic job and everybody isthrilled.

    Sebastian explained that plans torenovate the bridge started in 2000 andincluded removing the old bridge, wid-ening the area, building a new bridgeand new roads.

    Kingston Township budgeted$220,000, or 20 percent of the overallcost, while the remaining 80 percentof the projects cost was paid for by the

    Pennsylvania Department of Transpor-tation.

    Everything went smoothly, Sebas-tian said, although crews did run into

    soilerosion problems when digging intothe creek bed, making redesigns neces-sary. Everybody cooperated. Once itstarted, it was smooth sailing.

    For Don Webster, the noiselevel in Insalaco Hall at Mi-sericordia University was a

    sure sign of success. Webster isthe acting executive director of the

    Back Mountain Chamber and thenoise was the conversations of visi-tors andparticipants in theApril 17Back Mountain Business and Com-munity Expo.

    Webster said the Chambers mis-sion includes three dimensions:commerce, community and cultureand that the number of conversa-tions going on in Insalaco Hall wasproof that the Expo was accom-plishing all those goals.

    This was the fourth year for theChamber-sponsored event which ishosted by Misericordia University.According to Chamber executivecommittee member Carl Goering-er, it was the first year the eventsold out.

    More than 75 businesses andnon-profit organizations set upbooths to spread awareness abouttheir merchandise and promotecontacts among participants.

    The expo started with a 3 p.m.networking reception for all theparticipants catered by GerritysSupermarkets and Fire & Ice Res-taurant.

    At 4 p.m., the expo opened to thepublic.

    Visitors talked with businessowners, sampled food and chatted

    with team mascots, including theNittany Lion from Penn State Uni-

    versity and Tux from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

    A wide variety of participants,

    including banks, schools, medi-cal and dental providers and retail

    businesses, provided informationabout their services and products.

    A surprising variety of churchesandnon-profitsalso promoted theirprograms and goals.

    Giveaways, including hand lo-tion, toothbrushes, pens, buttonsand candy, invited visitors to stop aminute andtalk to a representativemanning the booth.

    Lauren OShea, of Shavertown,works for Hildebrandt LearningCenters, a company that providesemployer-sponsored childcare man-agement. When asked why herbusiness had chosen to participate,she said, To get our companysname out in Back Mountain. Shealso said another goal was to meetlocal businesses and partner insome way.

    Misericordia professor PaulNardone involved his business stu-

    dents in the event.Rachael Ayers, a senior in Busi-

    ness Management from Dallas, waspart of the planning which involved

    many details, including picking thedate and setting up for the event.

    Back Mountain Chamber issomething thats interestingto me,

    said Ayers, who feels the event is

    important for the community. Itsa great networking opportunity for

    the businesses to mingle with eachother.

    Amanda Perlock, a senior Miseri-cordia marketing major, said her

    marketing research class was do-ing a survey of the businesses and

    non-profits who participated andthat the class would analyze data

    provided by participants andlet the

    Chamber know how the expo canbe improved in the future.

    Grasshopper Lawns celebrates Earth Day at BMLLMichael and Shawn Kravitski watched their

    children enjoy playing baseball for BackMountainBaseball for Boys and Girls and decided to giveback when they got the chance.

    The owners of Grasshopper Lawns in Larks-

    ville, the Kravitski brothers, who both reside inthe Back Mountain, chose to volunteer the ser-

    vices of their business at the Back Mountain LittleLeague field in celebration of Earth Day.

    Technicians from the 29-year-old family-ownedbusiness spent several hours on April 20 applyingfertilizer, aerating and liming the field and con-ducting weed control.

    Bill Holena, treasurer of Back Mountain Base-ball for Boys and Girls, said the organization doesbusiness with Grasshopper Lawns and that every

    year Grasshopper Lawns chooses a project to cel-ebrate Earth Day.

    This year, they chose the Back Mountain LittleLeague field, said Holena, who added the LittleLeague organization recently spent about $90,000to improve the field and that Grasshopper Lawnemployees would help clean up from that con-struction project.

    Every year we volunteer at a local organiza-tion, said Kristy Kravitski, assistant office man-ager at Grasshopper Lawns. Our route manager

    usually makes the decision as to where we willprovide community service.

    Kravitskisaid allemployees of theorganization,including11 technicians andtwo office staff mem-

    bers, were on hand at the Back Mountain LittleLeague field last Saturday.

    proper function of nerves, muscles, bones

    and blood vessels. Having a

    cause imbalances in an array of essential

    health functions. Taking 1-2 capsules of

    our pure Magnesium Glycinate

    supplement at bedtime will not only put

    many of your sleep problems to rest, it

    Legos on display at librarySeven-year-old Bryce Phillips, a first-grade student at Wycallis

    Elementary School, will display his Lego collection at the BackMountain Memorial Library during the month of May.

    Bryce has been building and collecting Legos for one and a halfyears. He began when he started watching a TV series called Nin-jago. His collection includes Ninjago sets and also MonsterFighterLego sets. Bryce received most of these Legos as gifts for holidaysand his birthday.

    At first, Bryce had help from his parents building the sets but

    now he builds them by himself. Bryce states that, The sets cantake a long time to make. The castle took the longest and is hisfavorite piece. Its the most awesomest, he said. Bryce also en-

    joys going on the Internet to watchvideos on Lego sets being built.Bryce lives in Dallas with his parents, Roy and Tricia Phillips,

    and his sister, Julia.

    way. A 3,000 square foot patiowill overlook Leonards Creekwhich runs behind the inn andwill feature outdoor dining,light entertainment and a venuefor parties. New patio furniturehas been ordered and a spacenear the patio has been clearedfor games like croquet and bad-minton.

    Crediting the Harkins familyforthe reputationenjoyed by theBeaumont Inn, Friedman said,Beth ran it and it had an excel-

    lent reputation. I hope to con-tinue the tradition they startedbut take it a notch farther.

    He added that Sunday

    brunch, which was a tradition atthe Beaumont Inn for years, willcontinue.

    Friedmans incentive to re-openthe Beaumont Inn came fromguests attending weddings atFriedman Farms which, he said,is nine minutes from the inn.

    Wedding guests are alwaysasking me where they can stayin the Back Mountain whenthey attend a wedding at the

    farm, he said. As you know,there are no hotels in the BackMountain. Now, they will havesomewhere to stay.

    Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 rotatedthrough two presentations throughout theday.

    Presenter Steve McGorry, who has

    worked at the Da Vinci center for two yearsas outreach coordinator, taught the dissec-tion class. We do school workshops in thecenter but we also go on the road, he said

    He discussed the anatomy and functionsof eye parts as the students followed hisinstructions. He asked questions to involvethe students in their learning.

    Dante DeAngelo, 18, of Dallas, held thescalpel in his group. He plans to becomea surgical tech. Im an outdoorsman, hesaid. This stuff interests me.

    At an all-girl table, Christy Conway, 17,of Shavertown, had no problem doing thedissecting. I like taking things apart. It

    was the same in biology class.The group dissecting eyeballs was also

    able to look at a set of healthy lungs andcompare it to a set of diseased smokerlungs.

    In a classroom next door, Max Needle,who joined the Da Vinci Center in Febru-ary, demonstrated brain sensory activities.

    Needles humorous approach helped himestablish a rapport with the students as heconducted activities focused on vision andreflexes. He used several students to dem-onstrate a few experiments before lettingthem loose to explore the rooms activities.

    Students wore special glasses whichmimicked eye conditions such as glaucomaand macular degeneration. They also test-ed their reflexes in a variety of ways.

    Nell Adams, 17, of Dallas, liked an activ-ity in which she had to negotiate a maze

    with her eyes closed. She said, It was hardand challenging.

    Classmate Liz Dillon, 17, of Dallas, wassurprised by a reflex activity that involvedcatching a tennis ball. It was harder thanit looked.

    Skammer has already purchased human

    models with removable anatomical partswith grant money and more activities areplanned. Shes going to take the AP biologystudents on a field trip to the Musculoskel-etal Transplant Foundation in Jessup.

    SCIenCeContinued from Page 1

    Kitchens near the bridge, ishappy that its open, althoughhe admitted the closed bridgehad little effect on his business.

    Ours is a destination busi-ness, not a spur of the momentsale, he said. A kitchen is a

    well-planned decision becauseof the cost involved.

    Nause said customers madeevery effort to get around thedetour to get to his business

    which does not depend on re-tail flow.

    It was, however, a huge nui-sance for tractor trailers deliv-ering product, he admitted,explaining how trucks neededto be re-routed to Main Street

    around Offset Paperback toreach his business.

    The story is different forGreg Williams, owner of Studio309 Music Antiques and Col-lectibles, who said his businesssuffered tremendously duringthe bridge reconstruction.

    Williams rented a buildingon the corner of Main and Cen-ter Streets that he lived in asan 18-year-old just two weeksbefore the bridge closed, notknowing about the construc-tion project.

    We suffered dearly and pa-tiently, he said. We dependentirely on retail traffic and theonly accessibility to our build-

    ingwas throughthe back door.Williams added that he was

    forced to sell a lot of his mer-chandise at area flea markets

    and on Ebay during the bridgeproject.

    Of the bridge itself, however,he said, The bridge is gor-geous. It looks fantastic andhas done a lot to improve theinfrastructure of Shavertown.

    Susan Collini, of Plastic andReconstructive Surgeons Ltd.at the intersection of CenterStreet and Route 309, mirrorsNauses comments.

    Although it was difficult forpeople to get into the center,they did figure out a way to gethere, she said. We didnt facethe same challenges the retailfolks did.

    Collini does, however, feel

    the Main Street/Center Streetintersection wassafer than everduring the bridge reconstruc-tion. A 3-way stop sign had

    been installed at the intersec-tion during the project, slow-ing traffic in all directions. Nowthat the bridge has re-opened,the third stop sign has been re-moved.

    Ive seen so many near ac-cidents at that intersectionbefore the 3-way stop sign wasinstalled, Collini said. Its adangerous intersection. Wehave actually petitioned thetownship to put in a 4-way stopsign.

    As for the completed bridgeproject, Collini said, Its won-derful. Its been a long timecoming.

    She commended the workers

    and their attention to detail.I know it was a lot of money

    for the township but it was wellworth it.

    The performance of that experi-enced group has allowed the Black

    Knights to move into second placeout of seven teams.

    Our defense is very good, saidT.J. Labar, a sophomore at PennState/Wilkes-Barre who moved upfrom assistant to head coach afterone non-league game this spring.

    Labar played on the first Lake-Lehman team two years ago.

    The WVC includes two programsstill in their first year and the BlackKnights have managed to shut outthose teams in all three meetings.Lake-Lehman defeated North Po-cono, 13-0, in the conference open-er and, 6-0, Tuesday night. It alsoblanked Scranton Prep, 6-0.

    Our defense is strong so wereemphasizing defense, Labar said.

    Were improving on offense.Aslongas wecanholdtheball, weshould be able to keep improving.

    Lake-Lehman is 5-3 in conferenceplay with the help of sophomoregoalie JakeYaple, sophomore defend-er Phil Hettes and junior defenderJustin Winters, who are all returningstarters.

    Sophomore Dave Kessner playedin the shutout of Scranton Prep, buthas been sidelined by an injury. Se-nior Hunter Hackling has taken overon defense in Kessners absence.

    Labar said Yaple, who came upthrough the Back Mountain Banditsprogram and has played the sport for10 years, is one of the best goalies inthe league.

    Hes very athletic, Labar said.Hes quick to react and he knowshow to keep himself inside the cageand how to read shooters.

    He does a good job, even on closeshots, of confusing the shooters.

    Yaple is just one example of howLake-Lehman benefits from expe-rience in a sport still largely in itsgrowth stage in northeastern Penn-sylvania.

    Most of the kids have played forthe Back Mountain Bandits andnow Lehman has its own junior highteam, Labar said. Were an up-and-coming team.

    I was expecting that we couldhave this kind of season.

    Lake-Lehman trails only unbeaten

    Delaware Valley in the WVC stand-ings. Theyhavethe onlytwo winningrecords while Dallas is in third place

    with a .500 record.

    Mark Ross has at least two reasons to believe de-fensive line play will be improved when MisericordiaUniversity enters its second season of football in thefall.

    Ross pointed out the defensive line as one of twoposition groups that appear promising in recruitingand also likes progress that he sees from the return-ing group in spring practices.

    The National Collegiate Athletic Association al-lows Division III football programs 16 days of springpractice, but Ross said it is not in the format of whatpeople might see on television with Division I teams.

    Its more individual emphasis and technique, theCougars head coach said. Were not allowed to useany pads.

    Former Dallas High School coach Ted Jackson, apart-time member of the Misericordia coaching staff,has worked with defensive linemen this spring afterdealing with inside linebackers last season.

    Hes raised the skill level and technique of ourdefensive linemen, Ross said of Jackson, who wasrecently selected for induction in the PennsylvaniaState Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

    Jackson, who went 227-79-3 and won a state titlein 27 years at Dallas, will be honored June 15 in Har-risburg as part of ceremonies in conjunction with theBig 33 Football Classic.

    Ross said it was too early to talk specifically aboutindividual recruits, but he did say that defensive lineand quarterback were the two areas where the pro-gram made important progress in terms of depth.

    The majority of our recruiting for this year isdone, although at our level, and particularly this year,there are still a number of potential candidates weare working with at this point, Ross said. There aresome position groups that we felt like, going in, weneeded to improve our depth.

    Quarterback was one of them. At the end of theyear, we had only two.

    The Cougars were shut out five times, includingthree of their final four games, while going 0-10 in

    their debut season.The 2012 team was put together for the first timeand built from a two-person recruiting effort the yearbefore. With his staff complete, Ross was one of fivecoaches able to work on recruiting this spring.

    We have a better handle on the kids coming in,Ross said. Theres not as much guesswork.

    With some of the kids we brought in last year,once we saw what they could do, we had to put themin other spots.

    The first Misericordia team included just one play-er from each of the two Back Mountain high schools.

    It did, however, get significant contributions fromthose two. Lake-Lehman graduate Cody Lamoureuxled the team in rushing while Dallas graduate PaulBrace was the leading receiver.

    Ross said Brace does not plan to return next sea-son, but Lamoureux will be back.

    Lamoureux, who ran for 339 yards on 103 carries,

    was one of the players who served as the single run-

    ning back in the pistol formation the Cougars often

    employed. Misericordia ran most of its attack from

    shot gun formation with either one tight end and

    three wide receivers or two tight ends and two wide

    receivers.

    Ross said the team is experimenting with a few

    schematic issues within its offense, but the general

    approach is likely to remain the same.
