Theres just one event in theBack Mountain where you areencouragedto buy locally-madecrafts,eat asmany wingsas youcan and take in a free-style JetSki competition all in one day.

The 2012 Harveys LakeHomecoming schedule ofevents for today is chock-full ofactivities for anyone and every-one looking to get involved inthe lake community.

Mayor Clarence Hogan,chairmanof theevent, saidits ahuge undertaking to continuethe homecoming weekend, buthes dedicated to helping thecommunity in any way he can.

Its all about giving back tothe community, said Hogan.Whatever we do there, it goesright back into the borough.Were raising funds for the Har-veysLake LittleLeague, for vet-erans. Anything else we do, itgoes intothe borough forsome-thing.

Hogan saidthe HarveysLakeHomecoming Committee islooking into purchasing a newsign togreetvisitorsto thelake.Hed like to see a digital sign

that would announce events atthe lake as well as the time andweather locatedat the entranceto the lake.

Originally,we startedoff try-ing to purchase a clock, like inDallas Borough but that waskind of expensive, he said. Now, we give everything backto the community, and we liketo help whatever organizationwe can. Plus, its a great time.

Resident Maureen Devinehas helped with the homecom-ing for the last five years andsaidits an opportunityfor year-round residents to see the tal-ents and personal interests ofthe community.

How does she know that?The formerLake-Lehmanswimcoach and Lake-Noxen Elemen-

tary third-grade teacher hasbeen organizing all the watersports and childrens activitiesfor the event.

I made a suggestion for hav-ingsome activities forchildren,and to do things on the waterbecause when they had it origi-nally,there wereno water activ-ities and were Harveys Lake,she said. Clarence Hogan, thechairman, said they were goodideas and asked me if Id like tocomeon board. I guessthey sayif you have an idea, to followthroughyouhavetobe a part ofit.

This year there will be a JetSki competition organized byShae Adamshick, whose familyowns HL Powersports, thatwillfeature participants racingaroundthe lake andperformingvarious tricks. Winners couldreceive prizes like life jackets,bathing suits, Harveys Lakebeach towels and more.

My family and I opened ashop at the lake called HL Pow-ersports, and we specialize inJet Ski repair, said Adamshick.Thats how I basically learnedhowto workonthem I usedtowork on Jet Ski races all overthe country. We thought itwouldbe a good tie-in to home-coming.

The Kiss My Fish contest

has a new angle (thats a fish

joke). The winner (or loser,whichever wayyou lookat it) ofthe contest, which was oncecalled Kiss My Bass, is nowdetermined by students atLake-Noxen ElementarySchool.

Students voted on which oftheir teachers or principal would be eligible to kiss a bassfrom thelake. Theluckywinnerwill smooch a sturgeon duringtheclosingceremoniesat 5 p.m.today.

Devine wanted to find a wayfor the students to get more in-volvedin the homecoming cele-bration.

They even have a float inourparade now, she said.

Hogan is already looking forpeople to get involved in nextyears event, and all ideas areencouraged. He also said resi-dents can contact him at 793-5187 to enter intoany of todayscontests.

According to county propertyrecords, the historical landmark

located on State Route 415 wassold July 26 to the nonprofit re-covery group for $307,000.

Nick Colangelo, a Triangle 24

Hour Club, Inc. board memberand chief executive officer atClearbrook Treatment Centers,said the group has been holdingmeetings in Dallas Township atthe former Dallas Nursery nearBack Mountain Bowl since2006.

Were outgrowing it and ourrent has been escalating, hesaid. Weve been looking for apiece of property up and down

the highway, something withmore room expansion and own-ership.

Colangelo said the Triangle 24

Hour Club is a group of busi-nessmen who formed to helpthose dealing with addiction.

The group plans to use thespace solely for meeting purpos-es. Colangelo said the group didnot purchase the Castles liquorlicense and it plans to removethe kitchen in the building dur-ing renovations.

It will basically be aboutthree meeting rooms, and well

provide meetings the same waywe do at the clubhouse we rentnow, said Colangelo. Therewill be more parking, and well

be more out of the way. Wherewere at now, we use the podia-trists parking lot because wehave grown so much.

Colangelo hopes the projectwill be completed by September.

The land for the Castle Innwas purchased by ElizabethHuntzinger, a dressmaker fromWilkes-Barre, in 1925 and thebuilding was constructed in1927.

Valgarour Omar Hallson, anIcelandic chef who became anAmerican citizen in 2005, hadowned the inn since 1992.

The Dallas School Board dis-cussed whether it would changeits advertising policy during ameeting Monday.

Chad Lojewski, a member ofthe Dallas Educational Founda-tion, told the board about thegroups first fundraising project,which is to replace the schoolsign on State Route 309 with adigital sign.

The project, estimated to costabout $40,000, will includespace for school announce-ments as well as advertisingfrom local businesses. Lojewskisaid the advertising would benecessary to create a source of

revenue, which will allow thefoundation to fund future en-deavors.

The foundation is a separate,nonprofit arm of the districtwhich raises funds for scholar-ships, improved facilities as wellas extracurricular or athleticteams needs.

Lojewski said the current signdoes not allow multiple mess-ages to be displayed and re-quires manual labor to changethe message. The computer-ized, digital sign could bechanged via a laptop or othercomputing device and could dis-play 12 messages in a minute.

Lojewski said he and founda-tion board members spoke withthe property owners of the landwhere the current sign is locat-

ed at the intersection of Hilde-brandt Road and State Route309 and they will not allow asign with advertising to beplaced on their property.

The district currently doesnot allow advertising on cam-pus. Board member Karen Kylethought there may be issueswith other groups wanting toadvertise elsewhere on campusthat could point to the sign as

an example.Board vice president Bruce

Goeringer disagreed with thenotion of advertising local busi-nesses on campus and said thesign should be solely for schoolannouncements.

Board president CatherineWega felt the board should beable to disapprove or discour-age advertisers of businessesthat would be inappropriate for

school students to be exposedto, but wondered if the districtcould legally do so.

Lojewski also said therewould be costs to maintain thesign, but they would be signif-icantly lower than the initial in-stallation fee.

The idea is to place the signnear the entrance to Dallas Ele-mentary and the high schoolacross from the new softballfield where a sign has beenplaced to track the fundraisingprogress of the foundation.

Superintendent Frank Galickisaid that area is equipped tohandle the electrical wiring re-quired for the sign.

This way it would be on Dal-las school property, and wewould never have fears or

doubts about whether it wouldbe sold, said Galicki.

Goeringer felt the State Route309 location would be the pref-erable spot, and wanted Lojew-ski to consider a sign withoutadvertising in order to keep itthere.

Lojewski said there would beno revenue stream coming intothe foundation if there is no ad-vertising on the sign, making itdifficult for future projects to befunded.

Goeringer said he felt theelectronic sign would besplashy and a distraction todrivers.

Galicki said the board willthink about the idea before dis-

The project, which is estimated to cost about $40,000, will in-

clude space for school announcements as well as advertising

from local businesses. Lojewski said the advertising would be

necessary to create a source of revenue, which will allow the

foundation to fund future endeavors.

Supervisors continued discus-sion about whether to contributetoward the Kingston Township-run D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Re-sistance Education)program at awork session Tuesday.

Kingston Township is askingDallas Township to donate$2,500towardsthe program. Theprogram cost is divided betweenKingston, Dallas and Franklintownships, Dallas Borough andthe Dallas School District.

Supervisor LizMartinsaidlastyear was the first year KingstonTownship askedfor fundingfromother municipalities and theschool district. She said prior tothat the program was fundedthrough grantsthat areno longeravailable.

Last month, Police Chief Rob-ert Jolley said he didnt agreewiththe townshipsrequired con-tribution because the DallasTownship Police Departmentdoes not require other munici-palities to contribute to the K-9unit program that benefits othercommunities.

He said the K-9 unit, which in-

cludes training and maintenanceof a police dog used to detectdrugsand otherillicit substanceson a person, cost tens of thou-sands of dollars and is taken tothe school and other depart-ments regularly.

Jolley said its a similar situa-tion, butthe Dallas Township de-partment isnt asking for moneyto fund its K-9 unit.

Kingston Township selectedapples, I selected oranges, saidJolley. ...We had a dog die, and Ididnt go to Kingston Townshiplooking for money. Now King-ston Township (is) here lookingfor money. Maybe the first placethe township of Kingston shouldhave looked is in their budget.

The boardof supervisorsvoted

Monday to allow the township

solicitor to draft an agreementthat would allow for the sale of

excess compost.

Solicitor JeffreyMalak saidthesupervisors would need to draft

anagreementandhavetheactionapproved by the state Depart-

ment of Environmental Protec-tion before moving forward withthe sale.

Resident Mary Dockeray had

many questions about the ven-tureand opposedthe measure be-

cause she felt it would take busi-ness away from local farmers.

Supervisor Al Fox said the

compost will still be free for resi-dents. The program began two

years ago when the townshipjoined the West Side Compost

Commission, which enabled the

township to purchase a grinderthrough a state grant.

He said compost is made andavailable for residents to pick up

Monday through Saturday from

dawn until dusk. Fox saidDocke-ray could express her feelings,

but the supervisors have chosen

this measure to benefitresidents,

and she is free not to participate.He said the funds from the

commercial purchases wouldoff-setthecostsof runningthegrind-er.

The boardalso approved an in-crease in municipal quarterly

contributions from 5 to 7 percentto the Pennsylvania MunicipalRetirement System.

Upon questioning from Docke-

ray, Malak said the statewide re-tirement system suggested the

increase due to poorly-perform-ing investments. Fox believes itwasthe firsttime a raisein contri-

butions was suggested in 10years.

Supervisors also approved anupdate to the police policy dutymanual as prepared by thepolice

chief. Supervisor John Wilkes Jr.saidthe updatewas suggested bythe townships insurance carrier,which performs an audit annual-ly.

Fox said the manual includeseverything you could think ofthat defines police proceduresand how to perform them. Hesaid many of the policies are

statewide.

The next Jackson TownshipBoard of Supervisors meetingwillbe heldat 6 p.m.on Sept. 3 inthe municipal building.

Kingston Township will be in

financial trouble if earned in-cometax dollars arent deliveredto the township general fundsoon, supervisors said at a meet-ing Wednesday.

Chairman JamesReinoJr.saidthe township is more than$600,000 short ofthis years bud-get due to the late-coming dol-lars. After this months bills arepaid, only $143,000 remains inthe general fund.

This affects us most becauseourtownshipdependsmostly onEIT (earned income tax) collec-tions as a main source of in-come, said Reino.

The board voted to seek pro-posalsfor a taxanticipationnote,which is akin to a loan from a fi-nancial lending institution thatwould coverthe budgetshortfall.

The supervisors would onlytake out such a loan if the town-ship was in dire financial straits,and it would need to pay backthat dollar amount of the loanplusinterest, whichwouldfall onthe backs of taxpayers.

Reinosaid if this does happen,the board plans to ask Don Wil-kinson/CENTAXto coverthe in-terestcostsdue to itsinability toprovide the income tax in thefirst place.

This is outrageous thattheyre not complying with therequirements, said SupervisorJeffrey Box of the company.

O B I T U A R I E S

This is the time of year wheneverybody could stand fora goodlaugh. I thought the followingstory may produce one.

Shortlyaftermy brother,BarryThompson, passed away, I re-turned to Aunt Beths and UncleBarrys in Mathews, Virginia. Weagreed that I would stay aroundand fix up the property for aweek. I did some painting andlots of yard work.

One evening, I noticed a pic-tureonthefireplacemantleintheparlorand,lo andbehold,it wasapicture I had forgotten about. Iasked Aunt Beth if I could take itback home to Naples, Fla. withme.

Here we are, years later and Irecently found the picture in abox. I would like to share the fol-lowing story with you.

We were living in Elmcrest inDallasasafamilymom,dad,meandmy brother whowaslivinginVirginiawith Uncle Ashby. Itwasthe summer of 1957. My fathersuggestedthethreeofus goto At-lantic City, New Jersey for aweekend. He also added that wewouldvisit theAtlantic City race-track each day during our. Moth-er elected not to go so Dad and Iwentoff forthe weekendto Atlan-

ticCity. On theway there,our ve-ry first stop was the racetrack.Now, mindyou,this is1957 andIwas only 16 years old. While atthe track, we sat in the diningroom overlooking the track. Itwas absolutely beautiful.

At one point, Dad got up andleft the table to make a bet. I re-member looking around and see-ingthiscouplesittingat thetablenext to us. When my father gotback to the table, I asked, Hey,Dad, isnt that Mr. Pappas, themeat man at the grocery store inBaltimore? My dad looked overandstarted laughinguncontrolla-bly. He said, Go over and intro-duce yourself and tell him youknow him and all.

I walked over to the table andsaid, Pardon me, dont I knowyou from Baltimore? Arent youMr. Pappas from the grocerystore? The man replied, No, al-though I go to Baltimore quite abit. I said, Thats where I knowyou from, Baltimore, but I cantplace you.

And, all of a sudden, out of no-where, it came to me as my faceturned beet red. I said, You areJoe DiMaggio! He looked at meandsaid, Yes.I play ballin Balti-more at the stadium and I wantyou to meet my wife, Marilyn.

I couldhardlywalkbackto thetable where my father was out ofcontrol with laughter. I sat downand tried to gather myself when

my father suggested that I takethe racing program over and askMr. DiMaggio to sign it. It wasthen that Marilyn Monroe saidthose immortal words to me:What is your name? As shespoke,shewroteon theprogram:Jeff, good luck at the races and

signedit, Marilyn Monroe.Shethen passed the program to herhusband whosigned it under hername.

After dinner a few nights later,my father and I went out on theboardwalk for the evening andwent into a photography shop.

Dad said mother wanted a pic-ture so I chose to stand in be-tween two cardboard burlesqueladies to have my picture taken.Dadsaid,Thats nota good idea.You better go over there andstand on the porch.

As the photo reflects, I wasnttoohappyaboutthat.Needlesstosay, we had a wonderful trip.

WhenI gotback to Dallas,I putthe picture in the Atlantic Cityrace program and put it in mydresser drawer whereI kepta few

dollars. Monthslater, I wentto re-trievethe photoand autographedprogramfrommy drawertoshowittoMomandDadandtalkaboutthe trip. The picture was therebut the autographed programwas gone.

After a few intense moments,my brother admitted he had tak-entheprogramto a pawnshop inWilkes-Barreto getmoney to buyparts to hop up his car. (E-Baysaysif Ihad thatprogram today, itwould be worth over $50,000).
