WILKES-BARRE, PA.

The buzz of barber shop clip-pers echoing throughout thegym was only surpassed by thedelighted screams of Dallas Ele-mentary students as they wit-nessed their principal, ThomasTraver, lose his hair.

First,it wasa littleoff therightside. Then the left side. But thetop? The top stayed intact.

Traver agreed to get his headshaved in the style of a Mohawkand dye it blue on November 16in response to the students fun-draising efforts in the Race forEducation, a walk-a-thon thatsupported the schools Parent-Teacher Organization.

The school had an initial goalof $20,000,whichwould beusedfor covering the costs of fieldtrips, playground equipment,classroom parties and other year-round activities. The stu-dents managed to surpass andnearly double their goal, bring-ing in more than $36,000.

This is the first year DallasElementary utilized the fun-draising program. In previousyears, the PTO would have stu-dents sell candy bars or maga-zinesubscriptions to raisefunds,but Tracy Zarola, vice presidentof the group, said no past fun-draiser have ever been as profit-able.

Weve had such a great re-sponse, she said. The commu-nity has been very supportive.

Students jobs were to solicit

individual sponsors for the walk-a-thon. With the help of theirparents, students mailed dona-tion cards to their prospectivesponsors and collected thefunds. The fundraising began inearlySeptember, and the walk-a-thon was held on November16.

Parties were held throughoutthe fundraiser to bolster stu-dents efforts. If all students ineach class received five or moresponsors,a popcornparty await-

edthem.Thoseclasses withstu-dents who received at least 10supporters were rewarded witha pizza party.

Traver said every class re-ceived a popcorn party, and allbutfourclasseshadpizzapartiesfor their efforts.

Students who received themost supporters received an ex-traspecialtreat- a tripwithTrav-er to Grotto Pizza at HarveysLake in a limousine,followed bysome time at the arcade.

It was so much fun, saidTraver of the arcade trip.

One student,6-year-old CaseyWhalen, wasthe topsponsor so-licitor, raking in support frommore than 240 family and com-munity members.

He got to perform the task of

spray painting Travers leftoverhair Dallas Mountaineer blue.

When asked how he was ableto garner so much support forhis walk-a-thon efforts, the tykefrom Shavertown just shrugged.

I dont know, he said.Traver decided upon the Mo-

hawk idea on a whim and foundthe young students really tookinterest in the bold move.

People have done more forlesser causes, said Traver.

Parents made sacrifices,teachers made sacrifices, andnow I guess its time for me tomake mine.

Tanner Saracino, 9, of Shaver-town, said his principal lookedcool after the quickie haircut,and hesaidhe might wantto trythe look on his own.

Nicholas Liaslewis, 9, ofTrucksville, agreed.

We should get matching Mo-hawks, he said to his friends.

Traversaid he felt a bitcooler,physically speaking, after thepartial head shave, and he plansto keep the cut until afterThanksgiving.

Itmightmakefor some inter-esting conversation with Grand-ma over the dinner table, hesaid, laughing.

About 40 supporters attendedAn Evening for the Back Moun-tain Trail at Lakeside Skillet inHarveys Lake on November 10.

The fundraiser featured a pre-sentation from George White of White Environmental Servicesabout the proposed expansionof the trail, which runs from Lu-zerne Borough to Dallas Town-ship.

In the near future, our mas-ter plans will be made to ex-pand the trail south into Wilkes-Barre and north to Ricketts

Glen, said White.Julie McMonagle, executive

director of the Anthracite Sce-nic Trails Association, said spe-cific plans to extend the trail toWilkes-Barre have already beenmade, but next year a masterplan will be developed for theextension to Ricketts Glen StatePark in Fairmount Township.

The trail is a gem a lot ofpeople dont know about, saidMidge Kolojejchick, of KingstonTownship.

Kolojejchick said he and his wife, Jean, who serves on thetrails board of directors, walkthe trail often with their dog. Hesaid physical activity is impor-tant, and the trail provides a

scenic way to get in shape.I know a friend who lost 40pounds walking the trail, saidKolojejchick.

He said the trail also providesan important link between thepast and the present.

The trail was once owned bythe Lehigh Valley Railroad andgoods such as lumber, ice, leath-er and anthracite coal were ship-ped from the Endless Moun-tains region to the SusquehannaRiver Basin until 1940. The trail

was no longer used by the1960s.

The Anthracite Scenic TrailsAssociation acquired the path- way in 1996 and began trans-forming the former railroad intoa trail accessible to the public.

Its a great motivational toolto create better health, said Ko-lojejchick. Its nice to see a

friendly face on the trail youllprobably see them twice be-cause you have to walk back toyour car.

Karen Johnson, of Lehman Township, loves to take hergrandchildren walking along thetrail, and she believes an expan-sion is a great idea.

Its good thing, she said.People in this area need a safeplace to ride their bikes or take walks in nature. Its a way ofbringing family together.

Johnson said the Back Moun-tain Trail is also a learning expe-rience, from investigating differ-ent tree of types to cleaning upthe trail. She hopes the currenttrail continues to expand in its

offerings.I would like to see horse rid-ing on the trail, she said.

Judy Rimple, president of theAnthracite Scenic Trails Associ-ation, said the possibilities areendless, and fund- and aware-ness-raising events like An Eve-ning for the Back MountainTrail will only continue to bol-ster the groups success.

The trails going to just ex-plode over the next 10 years,she said.

The Back Mountain Com-munity Partnership discussedextending the use of an emer-gency control center to othermunicipalities in the region ata meeting November 17.

The partnership is in theprocess of preparing a gamingfunds grant application to ren-ovate and supply a regional

emergency control center offRoute 118 in Lehman Town-ship.

The former medical build-ing was purchased by DallasFire & Ambulance last year with a similar purpose inmind and the organizationwill lease the building to thepartnership for emergency

and general meeting use. The space will be used for

municipal supply storage,partnership meetings, other

organizational meetings,emergency responder train-ing, sleeping quarters for eva-cuees if needed and a controlcenter for the Back MountainRegional Emergency Manage-ment Agency.

The idea for the center wasdeveloped after storms in lateAugust and early September

Vice Chairman John WilkesJr., of Jackson Township, sug-

gested the partnership ex-pand its request for supportto other nearby municipalitiesand the Dallas and Lake-Leh-man school districts.

Chairman James Reino Jr.,of Kingston Township, said inrequest for support letters toHarveys Lake Borough andFairmount and Lake town-

ships it should be noted thatspace would be available forthose municipalities to utilizethe center.

In other news, partnershipmembers discussed the pas-sage of state Senate Bill 1100with Tom Yoniski, a represen-tative from state Sen. LisaBakers office.

The amended bill sets fur-ther regulations on naturalgas activities in the state andrequires an impact fee on un-

The Back Mountain Police-mens Association is expectinga greater need for its WarmCoats for Kids drive this yeardue to the late summer flood-ing.

Ross Piazza, vice president ofthe policemens association,said the clothing drive has dou-bled the number of collectionsites and expanded the rules fordonation to include adult cloth-ing as well.

Were anticipating a greaterneed, said Piazza. With peo-ple losing their homes, (they)dont give much thought about

winter clothing. We wouldntdoubt a lot of coats were ruin-ed.

Piazza said the drive was ex-pected to be in full force by Thanksgiving and collectionswill continue until January.

The program has worked with various organizations inthe past, but Piazza would liketo distribute the coats at a holi-day dinner for those affected bythe early September flooding.

He said after three years, theprogram has been able to deter-mine what avenues for distribu-tion are more successful.

The first year, the coat drivegave out coats to children at Mi-sericordia University, but Piaz-za felt like transportation to theschool in Dallas Township wasa problem for those in need.

I think people had a hardtime getting to the college, hesaid.

Last year, the organization at-tended a holiday party for un-derprivileged children. Piazzasaid having the coats, hats,gloves and scarves there al-lowed the children to try every-thing on to ensure proper sizingbefore taking items home.

That worked really well, hesaid.

Piazza is trying to coordinatea similar distribution site forthis year. He also said several

local churches will have the do-nated winter clothing availableonce the collection ends.

The Warm Coats for Kidsdrive collected nearly 1,000coats in its first two years, andPiazza believes this years col-lection will far exceed that to-tal.

Its primarily Warm Coatsfor Kids, but this year becauseof the flooding well take any-thing anybody will give us, in-

cluding adult coats, gloves andhats, he said.

Piazza said the group is alsoworking with guidance counsel-ors within school districts tosatisfy any needs for clothinglocal youngsters might have.

Theyll do this in a very dis-crete way, he said. Theyll askus for different coats in differ-ent sizes and allow the familyto choose what they need.

Piazza said this way of dis-

tributing the clothing is part ofhow the Warm Coats for Kidsdrive got started. He said localteachers, counselors and policeofficers saw children withoutproper clothing in chilly tem-peratures more often than not.

When you see kids going toschool in light jackets, some-times even just T-shirts, you seethe need, he said. Thats partof the nature of kids, but I thinka lot of them just dont have theclothing they need.

Piazza said the generosity ofBack Mountain residents is theonly unsurprising aspect of thefundraiser.

People buy coats for us, hesaid. People will donate coatswith the hangers and tags still

on them. That happens everyyear. There are a lot of generouspeople in this area.

The Back Mountain Police-mens Association is comprisedof more than 20 police depart-ments spanning the BackMountain and West Side re-gions as well as the state Fishand Boat Commission, the stateGaming Commission and thestate Department of Conserva-tion and Natural Resources.

While he began to log hismiles in a journal in 1992, it wasnt until Marley turned 43that he set his lofty goal.

He started setting yearlygoals and tried to calculatehow long it would take him toreach his ultimate achieve-ment. Year by year, Marleybegan to surpass his initialtimeline as he increased hismileage.

For the last three years,Marley has been biking up to2,000 miles in a cycling sea-son, which can range from sixto seven months, usuallyfrom March to October.

Despite his planned win-dow of opportunity, weatheris most often the decidingfactor in whether Marley can

ride his bike.I remember one time it

was 50 degrees in Januaryand I decided to take out thebike, he said.

Marley completed much ofhis goal in NortheasternPennsylvania, but he alsotraveled to New York City,California, Maine and otherareas.

Dear Editor:I thought long and hard to determine if I should respond to a recent

editorial sent in by WayneWeaver from Northmoreland Township crit-icizing the residents of Dallas Township for our opposition to the infil-tration of the gas companies coming to our area.

I decided that I could not sit back while this angry person spews outmore diatribe directed at those of us and despite what he claims is asmall contingentof concerned citizens distortinghisneedsas a lease-holder, could not be further from the truth.

This small group has been instrumental in stalling what is manytimes swift placement of whatever they may need to advance their de-sire for increased profits at the expense of any objections thrown theirway.

Chief Gathering hasdecided to scrap itsplans to place a compressor

stationdirectlyacrossfromDallas HighSchool becauseof theconcernsraised by this small group.

This small contingent of individuals, as Weaver states, has seen zon-ing hearings to determine the approval of a metering station and ex-panding pipelines in a residential area reach a year because of our dili-gentpursuit of protecting our township through well-prepared testimo-ny.

A smallgroupwouldnot have theability to gain theattentionof somany.

Weaverwonders whywe werentconcernedwith theTranscopipelineand where it was located. He claims that pipelines and metering sta-tions arenothingnew toour area.That, of course,is precisely thepoint.They have been aroundfor yearsand thegascompanieswantto tapintothem with more pipeline, which can be dangerous, and they want tolocatethe metering stationnextto thehighschool becausethelandwasavailable.

That is what we are objecting to, as we have a right to.Finally,and mostimportantly,Weaver statedthat peoplelike us were

trying to intimidate people like him.The realityoffit allis that hestormed into a recent DallasTownship

supervisorsmeeting,demandingto speakbecausehe wasbraggingthathewasa leaseholderwhomade quitea bitof moneyfromthegas compa-nies forhis land and thatwe were preventinghim from collectinghismoney.When hewastoldhe couldnotspeak becausehe was not a resi-dent, he yelled out threats to some of the residents, one of them beingme.

He was thwarted again at a Zoning Board Hearing and again he lev-eled his anger and threats.

Hespewed muchmorenon facts in hiseditorial, toomany tolist, andthatis whyI could notallowthis hypocrite to paint a completelydiffer-entpicture onthe actualeventsandhardworkthetax-payingcitizensofDallas Township have been participating in for so long.

It isnt right, and we have the right to fight for what we feel stronglyabout........this is still America.

Jim DeMicheleDallas

Resident applaudssmall group action

Dear Editor:There is a heaven on earth and that is the Trucksville Dog &

Cat Hospital.From the time a darling pet comes in to the world and then

must leave, the above and beyond professional care given by Dr.Mark Stair and his staff with profound kindness and compassionmakes a difference in the quality of their lives. It is always the verybest.

With Princess passing, I know in my heart when I had to beaway, she was never hesitant to stay at their Puppy Hotel (as Icalled it.) Her Westie tail wagged for over 19 years.

God bless you all.Marilyn Gregorski

Grateful for Dr. Stairs care

Virginialaw prohibits anyoneoverthe ageof 15from wearinga mask in public, unless its part of a traditional holiday costume,for work or for medical reasons.

You might be surprised to learn that there are people whostudy howair quality, humidity,thehardnessof thewater andpol-lution affect peoples hair. According to these researchers, theworst American cities for your tresses are Corpus Christi, Texas;Olympia, Wash.; and Pittsburgh.

Ina surveyconductedby theRoper Centerfor PublicOpinionResearch, it was found that two-thirds of Americans believe theyare smarter than the average American.

SportsFive Back Mountain resi-

dents are preparing to begintheir collegiate baseball ca-reers after all-star senior sea-sons in the Wyoming ValleyConference for their respectiveschools.

JUSTIN CORNELL

High school: Lake-LehmanCollege: Wilkes The long-time anchor of the

Lehman staff was the top pitch-er in all of Division II as a se-nior. Finishing with a sparklingERA of 1.08 in 321/3 innings inthe regular season, Justin Cor-nell went 7-0 in nine starts andalso led the Black Knights with24 strikeouts. Cornell also putLehman into the district cham-pionship with a complete-gameeffort against Hanover Area inthe Class 2A semifinals.

JOSH EVERETT

High school: Lake-LehmanCollege: Widener

Versatile enough to playmany different positions in his varsity career, Josh Everettstepped it up even further as a

senior, leading the team with a.533 average in the regular sea-son to go with 23 RBI. He eventopped himself in the postsea-son, hitting .571 and addingthree home runs and seven RBIin five games to help the BlackKnights get over the hump and

win an elusive D2-2A cham-pionship.

BRYAN MATHERS

High school: Lake-LehmanCollege: MansfieldFollowing in the recent tradi-

tion of terrorizing middle-of-the-lineup hitters for the BlackKnights, Gary Mathers did notdisappoint as a senior. Mathersracked up 32 RBI and eight

home runs while hitting .526 inthe regular season for Lehmanen route to another WVC Divi-

sion II title. He added nine RBIin five postseason games, play-ing a huge role in the Knightsdistrict championship win.

MARC NOYALIS

High school: DallasCollege: Widener

Oneof thetop character play-ers in the WVC, Marc Noyalishelped lead the Mountaineersat the plate and on the mound

as one of the most importantplayers to his team in theleague. The senior finished offa strong career by hitting .400with 11 RBI while also leadingDallas in innings pitched (38),wins (3) and strikeouts (48).

STEVE RUCHHigh school: Holy RedeemerCollege: WilkesIt was much more than the

short porch at Hollenback Field Steve Ruch hit balls out of thepark everywhere he played dur-ing an impressive career for theRoyals. He led the WVC inhome runs for the secondstraight year, finishing with 10in the regular season while bat-

ting .511 and driving in 29. He was a huge reason why Re-deemer played for D2-2A titlefor the second season in a row.

Marley, laughing.

Cyclingisntthe onlyactivity

Marley enjoys.

The outdoorsman plans to

hike Machu Picchuin Peru next

year, run a marathon and do alittle more fishing.

Reaching his long-awaited

goal doesnt mean hes going to

hang up the bike, either.

I dont see myself quitting

cold turkey, he said. But I am

going to cut back so that I can

just enjoy it now.

Marley said its important to

stay physically healthy as one

ages, and staying athletic has

been one of his major priorities

in life since he was younger.

My dad died at 50 of a mas-

sive heart attack, he said.

Marley credits his wife, Ja-

net, and family for helping him

achieve his lofty goals.

I couldnt do it without my

wifes support and cooperation

for letting me do my thing, he
