WILKES-BARRE, PA.

Chris Dymond knows what in-clement weather can do to afarm.

Hes got boxes stacked withhundreds maybe thousands ofpale, blistered tomatoes in theDymonds Farm produce standon Brace Road in Orange.

The wet weather local farmshave experienced this growingseason, including two hurricaneswithina month,havewreakedha- voc on crops, causing knockeddown corn stalks, mold-riddencherry trees and questionablepumpkin patches.

The corn stalks didnt break

butnow theyre hell topick,saidDymond, a lifelong farmer. Thepumpkins Imnot sure about. Imnot sure theyll hold up with allthis water.

But a quick look at prettypumpkinsadorning benchesout-side the Dymonds stand saysotherwise. Dymond said thosegourds were picked a bit earlierthan usual and seemed to be do-ing just fine.

Its not all bad news for Dy-mond hes got atleast one trickup his sleeve. He had more thanan acre of crops, including ber-ries, peppers and eggplant, cov-eredin tunnel-shapedgreenhous-es,protected from theheavyrain.

The measure saved manycrops prone to water damage, in-cluding tomatoes. Those picked

from underneath the plastic tun-nels protectionare plump,brightred and ready to eat.

But the farming industry isntfor the weak-hearted or abun-

dantly hopeful. While Dymondsaid this year was not good interms of weather, every year is agamblewhen business is depend-ent upon the number of perfectdays.

Some stormsat thebeginningof this year set us back, and thegrowing season was about twoand a half weeks late, he said.Every year its a 50/50 chance.

Norman Darling, of Darling &Sons Farms & Greenhouses, of-ten finds himself sitting in a re-cliner outside his HildebrandtRoad stand, talking shop withfriends and fellow farmers.

Darling has much to reflect onthese days, including the devas-tating loss his farm took duringthe early September flooding.

About30 feetof waterfrom the

Susquehanna River swept andcovered his farmland in PlainsTownship, which totals about 16acres.

We lost everything, he said.When the water went down, wehadthreebuildingsmissing.I es-timate we had about $125,000worth of damage.

Despite his complete loss inPlains Township, Darling isthankful for land the farm has inDallas.About35 acres remainin-tact, thoughthe wetweatherandextreme wind from HurricaneIrene at the end of August alsocaused some troubles.

Thank goodness we have thisland, he said. Some farmerswere left with nothing.

The flood damage is nothingnew to Darling. The land inPlains Township was purchasedby his father in 1914, and major

Harveys Lake BoroughCouncil will consider anamendment to its zoning or-dinance related to naturalgas activities this month,but not before the publicpresents input on the docu-ment.

A public hearing will beheld at 7 p.m. on Monday,Oct.3 to discuss the pro-posed amendment, whichlimits most natural gas ac-tivities to an area that en-

compasses less than onepercent of borough land.

The ordinance, preparedby the boroughs Environ-mental Advisory Commit-tee, allows for oil and gaspipelines to be approved asa conditional use in mostzoning districts in the bor-ough, but limits most otheroil and natural gas activ-ities, such as compressorstations, metering facilities, wells and water treatmentplants, to the manufacturingdistrict only.

Larry Radel, a member ofboth council and the Envi-ronmental Advisory Com-mittee, said the goal of the

amendment is to allow thenatural gas industry to dobusiness in the borough while also protecting the in-terests of residents and thelake.

What we are trying to doreally is create somethingthat doesnt go directlyagainst the state oil and gasact, but works with it, saidRadel.

Earlier this year, councilhad considered an ordinancedrafted by the CommunityEnvironmental Legal De-fense Fund of Chambersburgthat would have essentiallybanned natural gas drillingin the borough.

The measure was struck

down unanimously by coun-cil, but work was underwayto update the zoning ordi-nance to further protect citi-

zens and the environment.After further research

with several lawyers andspecific consultants, the le-gality of that ordinancewould go against the ethicsset forth with the current

state oil and gas act, saidRadel.

From there, Radel saidcouncil listened to resi-dents concerns and wantedto set up an organizationsolely dedicated to prepar-ing this document.

We set up a committeecomprised of several councilmembers, some local GasDrilling Awareness Coali-tion members, geologistsand so forth, so we could goo ve r w h at we can d o t ostrengthen the current ordi-nance, he said.

The resulting document isone that sets specific guide-lines for natural gas and oil

industry activities, includ-ing stipulations for parking,access roads, truck routes,noise, fencing, emergencyresponse plans, lighting, wa-ter testing and pollution lia-bility.

I think that the changesare not changes, but mores pe ci fi c s uppl em en ta lamendments to clarify pos-sible discrepancies, saidRadel. Its to clarify certainindustry activities and notmake it so broad brushed.

Fall officially entered the area

last week according to the calen-dar andthe cooler temperatures,yet those who spend time out-

doors knowthe seasonsare changingby the behav-ior of the ani-mals.

Our resi -dent ground-hogs, whichd ont h av emuch groundclearance

when runninganyway, now

havetheirfat belliesdraggingonthe ground due to their diet offresh clover from all the rain and

their newfound favorite, canta-loupe, thanks to the Mrs. She was worried they were gettingtoo much sun and wondered if

we (which means me) should

put a tree near their hole in thebackyard to providesome shade.

My comment about having tobuild small lounge chairs nextwas not muttered low enoughand I received the look yetagain. The Mrs. doesnt realizethe only way I used to viewgroundhogs was with crosshairson them.

The red squirrels are having afield day carrying Butternutsacross the fence tops. Its fun towatch these small animalscarry-ing something twice the size oftheir head. Their front endis lowwith the weight while their backlegs aresometimesjust touchingthe wood of the fence. They usetheir tail as a counterweight to

getmoretraction.I wouldlove tovideo them and put Bugs Bunnymusic, preferablyThe Barber ofSeville, as the background.

And then there are the three

bears. Notmomma, papaand ba-by bear, either, butan adolescentsporting ear jewelry and two as-sociates. They came to visit afriend in Lehman several nightslast week to raid his refrigerator.

My friend, who shall remainnameless primarily due to thefact that I want to be able to usemy fingers to type in the future,is really into smokingmeatsthat is, and last week he was fin-ishing up several sides of applesmoked bacon which wereplaced in the outside refrigera-tor.

He went into the house to dosomething and came back outabout half an hour later to findtherefrigeratordoor, which hasa

latching handle, open. Upon in-spection, he found two slabs ofbacon gone and, backing out ofthe frig, saw the south end of a

northbound bear disappearing

into the woods. He searched theyard and found no sign of the 18pounds of bacon, not evenscraps.

He closed the fridge, proppeda wheelbarrow against it and went inside where, instead ofputting on his slippers, kept hisboots on. The bear came back afew hours later, knocking overthe wheelbarrow and my friendchased itout ofthe yard before itgot into the refrigerator.

Two nights later just beforedark, he heard the wheelbarrowfall over again and went to see what was going on. The bearwith the tag was standing on itshind legs with front paws on topof the refrigerator, another bear

was sitting and working on thelatch and a third was watchingthe show and drooling in antici-pation of the bacon.

Picture, just for a second, a

long-haired, wild-eyed man inhis Earnhardt Jr. No. 88 slipperswielding a stick, protecting notonlyhisbaconbut hiscaseof BudLight, yelling at the top of hislungs. The bears backed off andscattered acrossthe drivewaybe-tween vehicles with one goingstraight into the woods, neverlooking back and two going up atree. He backed off to let thebears come down, then proceed-edto chasethemout of the yard.

Those bears are probably stillrunningand have learneditsonething to messwitha mans baconbut not with his Bud.

I have heard that Mrs. Cook at

Cooks store in Lehman is plan-

ning more off-the-wall decora-tions for Halloween. Be sure tolook up and down when enter-

ing, so you dont get too scared.

Send me an email at The DallasPost if you have decorated yourbusiness forHalloweenand I willdo my best to stop by.

The newly-formed DallasFoundation for Excellence inEducation is looking for inputfrom the community with ideason how to raise funds to im-prove students experiencewithin the Dallas School Dis-trict.

Ray Ostroski, president ofthe foundation, said talk ofstarting a foundation for theDallas schoolsbeganmorethana year ago when local account-antsKristin andJim Gattusoin-formally discussed the idea with administrators.

It wasnt until this past year

the process to start the founda-tion kicked into full gear.

With the latest round of thefunding cuts that came aroundthis year, it kind of put a littlemore emphasis on gettingsomething done so that wemight be able to start helpingwith thegapsin thefunding,said Ostroski.

The Gattusos and Ostroski, a

lawyer, were able to do the ini-tial work of filling out paper- work to file for 501(c)(3) sta-tus, which would make the or-ganization a tax-exempt non-profit, and set up a board filledwithparentsof Dallas students.

We have no preconceivednotion of what were going tofund at this time, he said.Theres nothing thats already

been designated at this time.

The goal is to help fund any-thing the district might needbut cant squeeze into a cash-strapped budget, such as facil-ities improvements, academicpursuitsand extracurricular ac-tivities equipment.

We hope eventually we canget to the point where we cando scholarships for kids, Dallasstudents who want to go on tohigher education, said Ostros-ki.Its alldependent uponhowmuch money we can raise.

Ostroski said the group islooking for ideas on howthe or-ganization can raise money toimprove the educational expe-rience of Dallas students.

We want to do something

thatwillhelp themostkids that

we can with the funds and theresources that we have, hesaid.

Ostroski said teachers,coaches and other staff will beable to send an application tothefoundationboardto requestfunding, and the board will de-cide which project will be bene-ficial to the most students.

At this point, the board islooking to build its funds in or-der to be able to consider projects. Members of the DallasSchool District community areencouraged to submit ideas forfundraising projects.

Privatedonations willalsobeaccepted on the groups web-site soon. Ostroski said sup-

porters can donate through the

online purchasing programPayPal. The Dallas Foundation for

Excellence in Education willhost its first fundraising event,a golf tournament at Mill RaceGolf Club in Benton, on Oct.o-ber14.The tournament willbe-gin with a shotgun start at12:30 p.m. The $100 entry feeper golfer includes a commem-orativegift,cart andgreenfees,food and beverages on thecourse, open bar, complete din-ner buffet after the game andtrophies, gifts and prizes.

Ostroski hopes this fundrais-er will be the first of many.

The possibilities are limit-less, he said.

Do you know the correct wayto butter a roll during lunch, orhow topolitelyfindyour seatin amovie theater?

These answers are among therules of etiquette a subject JillEvans Kryston, of Defining Man-ners: A School forContemporaryProtocol in Shavertown, doesnttake lightly.

But the idea is not to be per-fect, she says. At the core of thematter, etiquette is based on mu-tual respect.

Etiquette is about relation-

ships, said Evans Kryston, whois certified by the InternationalSchool of Protocol based in Ma-ryland. Whenever two or morepeople interact, these principleshelp determine how they shouldact.

In life, whether one is at work,attending school or watching amovie, Evans Kryston believesetiquette plays a central role in

how human beings interact withone another and the relation-ships that stem from verbal andnonverbal communication.

Our behaviors affect others,she said.

Chip Morgan, president of theBack Mountain Business Associ-ation and owner of Wilkes-BarreBookkeeping Co., said there is aclash between generations whenit comes to maintaining properetiquette in the professional andsocial worlds.

I think that kids coming intothe business world dont realizehow important it is, he said.They dont realize theyre beingjudged.

Does that mean 19-year-old Ja-son LeVan, of Troy, is alreadyahead of his peers in terms ofmanners?

The wildlife and fisheries sci-ence major at Penn State Wilkes-Barre in Lehmansaid hes alwaysbeen accustomed to minding hisps and qs.

Its the little things that makeyou think a lot more about peo-

ple, when theyre considerateandwilling totake the timeto dothose things, he said.

LeVan said he will hold thedoor for others when the situa-tion requires it, and hell oftensay please and thank you,even with his friends.

Gianna DeGraba, 19, of Dallas,said manners are more impor-

tant at home than at school.With my friends, Im more

laid back, she said. At home, I wont use gruesome languageand I dont chew with my mouthfull.

DeGraba, who is studyingcommunications at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, said mannersmight playa more important rolewhen she nabs her dream job in

public relations.Ninetypercent of thetime my

(interactions) will be based onetiquette, she said.

Some members of the DallasSenior Center on Rice Street inDallas said they dont even needto practice manners theyre in-born.

People from the old school

just have them, said Jim Reese,73, of Dallas.

Seventy-five-year-old Joe Ma-lak, of Dallas, said manners andetiquette are about having re-spect for people, and it painshim to see how things havechanged over the years.

flooding of the crops has oc-curred at least five times since.

He said flood insurance isntmuch of a help, and the govern-ment hasnt stepped in to aidfarmers, either.

Youll beluckyto getyourpre-mium back (with crop insur-ance), said Darling.

Though hes unsure how thefarm will bounce back this time,he knows from experience that

its not an easy thing to do.Its hard, said Darling.

When your business is depend-ent on Mother Nature, itstough.

Farming exclusively in theBack Mountain is an option, butDarling said the land in PlainsTownship is worth saving.

Thesoilisnice there, hesaid.Here, there are rocks so big thattheyllknockyou offthe tractorifyou hit them. If it wasnt for theland (in Plains Township), we wouldve gotten out of thereyears ago.

On anygivenday at Braces Or-

chard, just down the road fromDymonds stand on Brace Road,one can see owner Paul Bracehandpickingapplesto ensureon-ly the best are available for sale.

Braces 150-acre orchard sawsome damage from the recentstorms, but he said there aremore thanenoughapplesto satis-fy customersappetites,and nonewill go to waste.

Some apples were knocked offtrees due to the heavy winds ofHurricane Irene, but there arestill plenty of perfect apples forsale.

Theapples thatarentblemish-free areusedto make cider.Brace

said he was fortunate this year,despite weathering what his 88-year-old father called the worstyear in the history of farming.

He said the orchard lost mostof its grape harvest this year dueto the heavy rains and estimatesabout1,000baskets worth of con-cordscracked underthe pressureof too much water.

Andit wasgoing tobe thebestcrop of grapes we ever had, saidBrace. They just couldnt takethe rain.

But Brace considers himselflucky after this most recentflood-ing. The stand on Brace Road is

open all year long, as opposed tootherfarmers inthearea,whoon-ly have a season to sell theirgoods.

If I losthalfmy apples,I couldstill sell them all year, he said.My biggest problem now is thatwith theweather, some of theap-ples cant get picked.

Hesaid priceswillremainstea-dy for the apples, which are onlyavailable at the orchard. Hehopes other farmers in the areacan make it through this year tocome back next season.

I hope these farms make itthrough. If you dont buy fromme, buy from another local farm-

er. But buy local, he said.Bracesaidthe publicoftenisnt

awareof theheftycompetitionlo-cal farmers have to deal withfrom international markets, butsaid buying local, fresh producewill help the industry survive.

People dont realize that thecheapest youll ever get applesfrom thegrocery store is99 centsa pound thats $40a bushel,hesaid. Im sellinga bushelfor $16.Imgivingmy stuff away. Anditsfresh. Im not giving you last years apples that have beengassed, waxed and stickered. Illnever do that.

want to help, said Russell. If Ihad more time, Id be shovelingmud.

The warehouse, located at189 E. Tioga St., Tunkhannock,is open to flood victims sixdays a week for at least fourhours a day. Those in need cancome in and shop for items atno cost to them.

Elaine Lee, executive direc-tor of Interfaith Friends, saidthis project is just an expansionof what the nonprofit organiza-tion does every day.

Our donations after theflood were just so great that wehad to move here, she said.

After Russell began solicit-ing donations from the day-

cares families, she said therewere enough toys in the ware-house to set up a play area tokeep little ones busy while par-

ents sought out what theyneeded.

We set it up so children hadsomething to do in a specificarea, because they have no in-terest in clothes, said Russell.

Russell finds it surprising tothink about how much one toycould actually mean to a childwho has lost everything.

Children need to own some-thing, she said.

Russell said the toys will alsobe handy Christmas presentsfor cash-strapped parents try-

ing to clean up after the flood.Families are going to be re-

furnishing their homes, andChristmas can be another

stressor, said Russell. Ourbig focus is to save some ofthese items for Christmas-time.

The daycare centers will con-tinue to accept donations ofclothing, toys, bedding, jack-ets, shoes and other items, butthere is a big need for nonper-ishable food items.

Russell also wants those af-fected by the flood to knowthat she will try her best to pro-vide anything anyone needs.

We can deliver goods, she

said. If anyone thinks some-thing is minute or not impor-tant enough, dont. Just let usknow and well get it to you.

doesnt even know what the

wordmannersmeans, he said.Evans Kryston can remembera time when manners were ofthe utmost importance, and ev-eryone followed the rules.

My grandmother was verymuch a lady, she said. She im-parted a lot of manners on methat I didnt even know I was

learning.Morgan, too, also listened to

his grandmother when it cameto behaving properly in public a set of rules about which hewasnt always enthused.

Mygrandmotherwas a stick-ler for etiquette, he said. As a

kid, I was always asking myself,Why is she always on this andon this? As a teenager, I wenton a date with a young womanand met with her family for thefirst time. When I got home, Isaid to my grandmother,Thank you; I getit now.I didntwant to be embarrassed.

If manners need to be in-stilled in a person when theyre young, then 5-year-old kinder-gartenstudents Sophia Gordon,of Shavertown, and T.J. Kinder,of Dallas, are on the right track.

Its saying polite thingswhen youre eating, said Kin-

der.Gordon said it all comesdown to the Golden Rule: treatothers as you would like to betreated.

Manners mean to be kind,she said. My mom taughtmeI dont think its nice to bemean.

Gianna DeGraba,19, of Dallas,says manners are more impor-

tant at home than at school.

Jason LeVan, 19, of Troy, al-ways practices manners in

social situations.

T.J. Kinder, 5, of Dallas, thinksmanners are especially impor-

tant while eating.
