Elmcrest development a happy home
Elmcrest is the kind of neighbor-
hood where neighbors like Susan
Dauksis and Debbie Rowland, who
have been friends for over 10 years,
walk their dogs, Sadie and Bandit,
every day and talk about how their
children, who have long since left the
Back Mountain, are doing.
Walking around the peaceful streets
today is easy. There are sidewalks and
no visible utility poles, except in the
back of the lots along the old stone
walls and underground.
The development was very thought-
fully planned in the early 1950s by the
late Bernie (Ben) C. Banks and todays
construction respects that tradition on
Birch, White Birch, Brittany and Jac-
quelyn Lanes.
Banks son, Bernie Banks Jr. recalls
his rst job - raking grass and plant-
ing grass seed at the development - as
his father worked with the late Buddy
Rothstein, a builder, to provide anoth-
er housing option after World War II.
It was all done on a gentlemans
handshake in those days. According
to Banks Jr., the senior Banks said to
Rothstein, You build the houses and
well nd the buyers.
The street was originally thought to
have been built to accommodate ex-
ecutives who worked at Natona Mills
(now Twin Stacks on Route 415) ac-
cording to Tom Myers, whose parents
built a house in 1949. The Banks de-
velopment added one house to every
two lots, leaving a vacant lot in be-
tween for investment or resale. Hous-
es cost around $10,000 in the 1950s.
Its where Jan Miller settled in 1970
to raise her three children, Marilyn,
Phillip and Mark. Theyd lived many
places in Pennsylvania but found Elm-
crest to be a great place to raise a fam-
ily and to settle.
There are bridge and golf groups,
its close to Wilkes-Barre yet in the
country, Miller said. Everyone looks

Dallas High School sophomore Lauren
Gallagher practices her Irish step
dancing with the rest of Scoil Rince
Na Connemara dancers at Downtown
Arts in Wilkes-Barre.
Gallagher
dances
way to
Ireland
Lauren Gallagher, 16, of Dallas, is
a dancing machine, but it took her a
few years and a few different styles of
dance before she found her calling.
I started with ballet when I was 3
(years old) and I hated it, said the Dal-
las High School sophomore. Ive been
doing Irish dancing for seven years and
I love it.
And that dedication has paid off.
The Scoil Rince Na Connemara
dancer recently took third place in
the Mid-Atlantic
Champi onshi p
held in Ridge-
wood, N.J., which
qualies her to
compete at the
All Ireland com-
petition in Killar-
ney, Ireland.
G a l l a g h e r
said shes always
wanted to learn
Irish dancing be-
cause of her heri-
tage and now shell perform in the land
from where her ancestors came.
My cousins used to make fun of me
for it, said Gallagher. They just said,
Oh Irish step dancing, you just make
it up. But its different from any other
type of dancing Ive done. Its kind of
hard.
Gallaghers mother, Michelle, has re-
cently started fundraising to help pay
for Laurens expenses to attend the trip
as dancers must pay for each dance at
each feis (pronounced fesh) or com-
petition in which they participate.
Its going to be expensive, said Mi-
chelle, who, along with her husband,
Patrick, and 19-year-old son, David,
plans to accompany Lauren.
The competition will be held this
summer for four days, June 28 through
July 1. Other than the days and the
place, the Gallaghers havent been told
much more about the details of the
event.
I know its the CRDM (Cumann
Rince Dea Mheasa) and we belong
to the NAIDF (North American Irish
Dance Federation), said Lauren.
All mysterious acronyms and lack of
details aside, Lauren cannot wait for
the chance to dance in Ireland.
Its nerve-wracking, she said. Im
always practicing. When Im at school
Im constantly tapping my toes under

Ross students dress up as favorite story characters
Books Come to Life
tudents dressed as their favorite book charac-
ters paraded around Ross Elementary at the
start of a special reading day on Feb. 28.
The parade started with the youngest stu-
dents from kindergarten and rst grade and
progressed through sixth grade.
Some book characters were easy to pick out. Waldo may be
hard to nd in his famous books, but it was a snap to spot the
student wearing Waldos red-and-white striped shirt, hat and
round black glasses.
Many students wore robes and school scarves from Hog-
warts as they pretended to be characters from the Harry Pot-
ter book series by J. K. Rowling.
Other memorable costumes included Cindy Lou Who from The
Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss and Pippi Longstocking from
the famous series by Astrid Lindgren.
Older children were sometimes harder to identify as they were
drawn to characters from young adult titles like The Hunger Games,
Matched and Hatchet.
Students carried their favorite book with them as they marched down
the hall.
Jennifer Ferkel, Title 1 reading teacher at Ross Elementary, said the
reading day activities were planned by the reading committee which
consists of herself, Jeanne Williams, Katie Mullins, Janna Kabosky, Co-
rin Frey, Ray Poskoch and Lee Ann Bauer.
We wanted them to be involved in reading, Ferkel said of the stu-
dents. Coming to school dressed as a character made it a personal ex-
perience.
Students told why they had chosen a certain character.

Jackson Township awards contract and hires ofcers
Jackson Township supervisors were
one supervisor and a solicitor short at
their March 4 meeting. In the absence of
supervisor Alan Fox, supervisors were
able to approve resolutions but did not
discuss old business or introduce new
business.
The supervisors approved the 2013-
2014 COSTARS DGS salt contract.
They authorized the hiring of part-
time ofcer John Saranchuk as of Feb. 5.
They also approved the reinstatement of
part-time ofcer Leo Letoski as of Jan. 1.
Resident Dave Milunic, of Shaver-
town, asked about Meadowcrest Drive.
He lives on the street and wants to redo
his driveway but wanted to know if the
road will be resurfaced.
Board chairman John Jay Wilkes,
Jr. said, We wanted to wait. Maybe this
year, maybe next.
Another resident complained about
the deplorable condition of Chase Road
in the township. Since this is a county
and not a township road, he wanted to
know if the township had sent notica-
tion to the county about its condition.
Wilkes assured him that letters had
been sent.
Mary Dockeray, of Shavertown, want-
ed to know why more part-time police
ofcers are being hired than full-time
ofcers.
A lot of townships and municipalities
struggle, said supervisor Tim Evans.
Dockeray wanted to know if the town-
ship is hiring part-timers to avoid paying
into a pension fund for the ofcers. She
asked, Whats the wisdom in that?
The supervisors said that is not the
reason for hiring part-time ofcers.
Evans said that some of the ofcers
have as many as four different uniforms
hanging in their closets.
I sympathize with them. But he as-
sured the residents, These gentlemen
are qualied.
Supervisors will meet next at 6 p.m.
on April 1.

BACK MOUNTAIN BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: HILBERTS THE TRACTOR STORE
By LIZ BAUMEISTER - lbaumeister@theabingtonjournal.com
Hilberts focuses on
customer service
Debbie Hilbert, secretary, and Larry Hilbert, owner, pose inside Hilberts the Tractor Store, which they describe as, clean and fresha welcome
for men and ladies alike to be invited in.
The business also aims to be in-
volved in its community and sup-
ports local T-ball, serves as a drop-off
site for the Back MountainFoodPan-
try and provides space for commu-
nity organizations on its electronic
billboard.
The shop, now located at 687 Me-
morial Highway, Dallas, was opened
about 35 years ago in the center of
Dallas by Larry Hilbert and his fa-
ther, Lawrence Hilbert Jr., who now
serves as president of the corpora-
tion. Now in his 80s, he continues
to be active in the business, which
now includes the third generation of
the family, Sam Hilbert, son of Larry
Hilbert.
According to Debbie Hilbert, sec-
retary of the business and wife of
Larry Hilbert, the shop moved to
its current location in 1989 when it
outgrewthe original one. Since then,
she said, it has undergone several ex-
pansions.
It most recent expansion, howev-
er, was not on the physical building
or property but on the World Wide
Web with the launch of a new and
exciting website, according to Deb-
bie Hilbert. The website, hilbertse-
quip.com, offers a 24/7 on-line parts
store, product information, price
quotes, brochures and more.
But the newtechnology andadded
convenience of the Internet doesnt
stop the Hilberts and their staff from
providing the same customer experi-
ence as always in the store. As their
motto states, Service is our sales-
man.
Hilberts the Tractor Store has
beenone of the top 100 dealers inthe
Cub Cadet organization many times
over because of the professional staff
and loyal customers who come into
the store, said Larry Hilbert. He
later added, We keep our techni-
cians in constant training, teaching,
knowledge. Our technicians are very
knowledgeable of the product lines.
According to Larry Hilbert, all of
the stores supplied product lines are
premium, including Ariens, Cub Ca-
det, Gravely Pro, Stihl Power Tools,
Troy Bilt Products and Westing-
house Generators.
Other thanthe shops regular prod-
uct sales, Hilberts also offers parts,
repairs and welding services and
snowplowing in the winter.
Larry Hilbert believes the keys to
shopping local are service, ques-
tions answered and the proper prod-
uct t for the owner and the project.
But, he said, the importance of
shopping local cant be stressed
enough.
As Jay Humphreys [of Hum-
phreys Bootery, Dallas] stated a
number of weeks ago (in an inter-
view which appeared in the Feb. 10
edition of The Dallas Post), the im-
portance of shopping local, Hilbert
said, is that money spent in the
local community stays in the local
community, while money spent else-
where is gone for good.
In a very, very tough economy,
Hilbert continued, we at Hilberts
are keeping our staff employed and
our taxes inthe community. We need
the communitys support. And keep
the local money in our own commu-
nity.
He thanks Hilberts customers for
helping to do just that.
F
rom its parts department to its selection of shiny new lawnmowers to its professional welding services, Hilberts
the Tractor Store is more than its name may suggest. And, according to owner Larry Hilbert, all merchandise and
services are offered in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The store is clean and fresh, he said, a welcome for men and ladies alike to be invited in.

BulletProof vests
The Trucksville United
Methodist Church is host-
ing a grief counseling sup-
port group once a month as
it attempts to support those
who need help in their time
of grief.
The group open to the
community and is held as
a discussion facilitated by
Dallas resident Brenda Bird-
sall.
Reverend Marian Hart-
man, who has been with
church a little over a year,
had been particularly
touched by the amount of
young people who have died
in the Back Mountain over
the last year and a half. She
shared that she lost a child
about nine years ago.
The demands of the
world dont stop for us,
Hartman said.
She added that, after a
loss, a person needs time to
grieve and accept what has
happened, but must also
continue working and living
themselves.
But the world sometimes
just expects you to get over
it, Hartman said.
We were looking to see
what kind of ministry we
could provide, to offer peo-
ple hope that as hard as it is
there is healing, she added.
Brenda showed up at the
opportune time and had
this wonderful background
with Hospice and she of-
fered to help.
I call it a God thing,
Hartman said.
Birdsall started attending
the Trucksville church when
she moved to the area in
2011. She is part of the Nur-
turing and Care Committee,
an outreach program de-
signed by the church to stay
in touch with the commu-
nity. This committee sends
bereavement packets.
Seeing the need for more
support in the community,
Birdsall offered to start
a grief and loss support
group.
It came from people say-
ing they wish they had a
place to go for support and
for education, she said. I
used to work as the bereave-
ment coordinator for Hos-
pice in Upstate New York.
The group held its rst
meeting in September 2012.
Since then, it has held
monthly meetings in the
Quiet Room at the Trucks-
ville United Method-
ist Church on the third
Wednesday of each month.
The number of attendees
uctuates each month, but
according to Birdsall, those
who attend participate in
the open discussions and
are grateful for somewhere
to express their emotions.
Were lling a need that
wasnt being met in the
community, she said. Its
a safe place where they can
open up.
Even though meetings
are held in a church, the
group is not necessarily a
faith-driven support group.
People dont need to be part
of the church or feel strong
in their faith to participate.
I come from a clinical
background and so the sup-
port group isnt based in the
religion but in practice,
Birdsall said.
With quite a bit of help
from fellow church member
Morag Michaels, Birdsall
organizes and facilitates
the support meetings each
month.
She says that sometimes
she comes prepared with a
topic, but prefers to meet
people where they are in the
grieving process.
I think the best part of
the support group is that
you get validation of your
feelings, Bridsall said.
It makes them feel less
vulnerable because they re-
ally arent alone.
The next meeting of the
Trucksville United Methodist
Churchs grief support group
will be held at 7 p.m. on Tues-
day, March 20 at the church.
For more information, call the
church at 696-3897.

Stop dancing.
Michelle conrmed this be-
havior. She said whenever Lau-
ren is on the phone or just hang-
ing around the house, its tough
to nd her sitting still.
I need to move, laughed
Lauren.
Lauren may not pursue a
career as a professional Irish
dancer, but she denitely wants
to keep dancing and stay close
to Irish culture as she gets older.
I found two (colleges) in
Dublin and one school in Lon-
don that sound nice, she said.
I wanted to be a plastic surgeon
until I took biology this year, so
now I think I want to be a music
producer because music is my
life and I like technology.
Michelle has some issues with
her daughter attending college
outside the country, but wants
to help her nd a place where
Lauren can continue to pursue
her passions.
She just loves to dance, said
Michelle.

could always have a weenie at

The 1970s brought a urry of
young families with children to
Elmcrest and a heightened so-
cial scene.
The Biscontinis, Van Horns,
Koehlers and the Bevevinos,
said Maryan Daily, recalling
some of the families living there
She and her husband, the late
John Daily, a doctor in Kings-
ton, and their three children, Ar-
lene, John and Donald, became
involved in the neighborhood.
John Daily was president of
the Elmcrest Homeowners As-
sociation. According to Mary-
an, We had fabulous summer
picnics every year in back on
White Birch Lane and some
big, rip-roaring Christmas par-
ties at Newberry Estate and the
Castle Inn. There were Hallow-
een parties and some very neat
things for the young people to
do, Daily said.
Today, the association pays
for the street light at the corner
of Lake and Elmcrest Streets
and the lighting and landscap-
ing at the Elmcrest sign island
on Route 415, says association
treasurer Diane Johnson, whose
parents, Carolyn and the late
Jack Johnson, moved into the

nice here. We love it. Its quiet

Association dues are $25 and

some of the old association tra-

baked pie to new neighbors

Christmas Eve. Hes also trying
to re-invigorate the annual sum-

Robert Long is in Mrs.
Smigielskis sixth-grade class.
He was dressed in camo and
hunter orange, portraying the
trapper who saves the main
character in Gary Paulsens
book Hatchet. When asked
why he liked the story about
a young mans survival in a
Canadian wilderness he said,
I like a lot of outdoor things.
I like to hunt. I shot my rst
deer this year.
Lizzy Blaski, of Sweet Val-
ley, is 10 years old and a stu-
dent in Jen Welbys fourth-
grade class. She was dressed
in wizard robes but was quick
to explain that she was not
Hermione Granger, the lead
girl character in the Harry
Potter series. A bright red wig
marked her as Ginny Weasley
who falls in love with Potter.
Blaski has read books one
through ve of the lengthy
fantasy series and is now read-
ing book six. When asked why
she chose to portray Ginny,
she said, I like how she acts.
She also admitted that she
would like Harry Potter her-
self if she were at Hogwarts.
Another student who chose
a character from the Harry
Potter series was Thomas
Kraintz, a kindergarten stu-
dent of Mrs. Kreigler. He
portrayed the sinister Draco
Malfoy because he and Draco
are both blondes. If I were
Harry Potter, I would be Harry
Blonder!
The teachers got into the
act, too. A large number of
teachers sported pink wigs
and portrayed the main char-
acter of the book Pinkali-
cious by Elizabeth Kann. The
main character, Pinkalicious,
loves the color pink and eats
so many pink cupcakes that
her skin and hair turn pink. A
teacher dressed as Willy Won-
ka was also seen in the halls.
The fun day was the culmi-
nation of a months emphasis
on reading.
Students in the upper grade
levels at Ross have all been
studying one book for a month
in preparation for the big day.
The third grade book was
Sideways Stories from Way-
side School by Louis Sachar.
Fourth=graders read Because
of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCa-
millo; fth grade read Frin-
del by Andrew Clements
and the sixth grade read Sa-
dako and the Thousand Paper
Cranes by Eleanor Coerr.
The day didnt end with the
parade. The older students
looked forward to a Jeopardy-
like game called Battle of the
Book which was planned to
test them on their knowledge
of the book their class had
read.
Younger students had fun
activities planned, includ-
ing activities with e-readers
brought from home.
As Jeanne Williams, a mem-
ber of the reading committee,
watched the excitement in the
halls as the students lined up
to show off their character
costumes, she said it best.
It made the books come
alive!

PUZZLE ANSWERS
Continued from Page 2A
DHS swimmers, divers compete at states
Marcus Wagner added to his district
medal collection.
As a result, he helped the Dallas
boys swimming program add to its
streak of District 2 Class AA team
championships.
Wagner won two individual gold
medals and two relay gold medals for
the second straight year.
The Mountaineers have won team
championships in all four years of the
high school careers of Wagner, Brian
Stepniak, Jack Matusiak and Grant
Luksic.
Thats pretty neat, Wagner said of
the district teamtitle sweep. We came
in with a few more kids in our fresh-
man year, but us four core kids pretty
much stuck together.
The results have been impressive
and went well beyond what Wagner
anticipated when it all started.
I really didnt pay attention to times
until I got to high school, Wagner
said. In age group swimming, I kind
of did it just for fun.
I still have fun, but high school
swimming really made us see howwell
we were doing as a group.
Wagner, the distance specialist, led
that group. He won 200- and 500-me-
ter freestyle titles each of the last three
years, giving him six career individual
golds. He has 10 total medals in a case
in his room at home after also contrib-
uting to 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle
relay wins in the last two years.
The highlight in the latest champi-
onships March 1-2 at the Wilkes-Barre
Catholic Youth Center was a personal-
best performance in the 500 freestyle
where he came in more than three
seconds below his seeding time at
4:51.64, destroying the eld to win by
more than 13 seconds.
I would probably say the 500 is the
most signicant one for me, Wagner
said. I really take pride in that event
because its the longest event there is
in high school swimming.
Dallas coach Romayne Mosier said
Wagner has done the work to make
those results happen.
For Marcus, its sheer determina-
tion in setting his goals to be able to
accomplish that drop in time, Mosier
said. Every practice, he has a goal.
Hes not just setting a goal for the next
meet.
Stepniak and Matusiak joined Wag-
ner and Patrick Gelso on the two win-
ning relay teams. They also joined
Wagner in qualifying as individuals for
the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Ath-
letic Association Championships at
Bucknell University.
Grant Luksic was part of a fourth-
place nish in the 200 medley relay,
along with Ezra Moore, Porter Luksic
and Reid Luksic. He also contributed
with an eighth-place nish in the 200
freestyle. The top 12 nishers in each
event scored team points.
Dallas won the team championship
by outscoring Scranton Prep, 262-196.
Lake-Lehman was 10th of 13 teams
with 31 points.
Projecting the meet based on seed-
ing in advance would have made the
Mountaineers the favorite, but the
large margin of victory was impressive.
I knew it was going to be a tougher
time to win this year because of the
additional teams that dropped down
from Triple-A to Double-A, Mosier
said. We had to beat more teams.
Stepniak contributed three gold
medals and a silver. He won the 50
freestyle in 21.88 seconds, earning a
sixth-seed at the state meet, the high-
est of any Mountaineer. Stepniak also
qualied for the state meet while n-
ishing second in the 100 freestyle be-
cause his time ranked high enough
among performances in district cham-
pionships around Pennsylvania.
Matusiak qualied for the state meet
on time with his third-place nish in
the 200 individual medley. He was also
sixth in the 100 breaststroke.
Patrick Madaya was third in the div-
ing, which was held a week earlier.
Ezra Moore, who was third in the
500 freestyle, joined Stepniak, Jack
Matusiak, Porter Luksic, Reid Luksic
and Gelso in scoring points in two
individual events. Nick Malkenes and
Owen Kiluk also contributed points to
the team title.
Most of Lake-Lehmans points came
from Matthew Edkins winning and
Dustin Zeiler nishing fourth in div-
ing. Edkins will also compete in the
state championships.
Edkins repeated the district title he
captured last year as a sophomore on
the way to a sixth-place nish in the
state.
Dallas nished sixth and Lake-
Lehman ninth out of 17 teams in Class
AA girls, which was won by Holy Re-
deemer.
Sami Sabol took third in the 100
backstroke and sixth in the 200 free-
style for Lake-Lehman.
Kaylin Augustine tied for fth in
the 100 backstroke for Dallas and was
part of a fourth-place 400 freestyle re-
lay team with Abby Berger, Amanda
Schwerdtman and Lauren Finnegan.

Back Mountain Bombers hope to play in Cooperstown
The Back Mountain 10-year-
old, all-stars rolled through the
2012 district and section Little
League Baseball Tournaments,
capturing a pair of titles.
By the time the playoff run
came to an end in the state tour-
nament, the team members and
their families had decided they
were not done playing together.
After that, the parents decid-
edtoget together as a groupand
form our own travel team, said
coach Joe Phillips.
The Back Mountain Bombers
have stuck together with all 12
members of the Little League
all-star squad.
It was because of the camara-
derie from going to all the tour-
naments and of the parents get-
ting along so well and the kids
getting along so well, Phillips
said.
The team continued into
travel tournaments last summer,
has already begun taking batting
practice together at an indoor fa-
cility inWest Pittstonandis look-
ing ahead to the possibility of
playing as 12-year-olds in 2014 at
the Cooperstown Dreams Park
in upstate NewYork.
Along with practicing and
playing together before and af-
ter the Little League season, the
12 teammembers and their fam-
ilies are working on fundraising
for the group to help pay for the
Cooperstown trip.
AComedy Night was heldlast
weekend and plans are under-
way for a golf tournament May
5 at Mill Race Golf Club in Ben-
ton. The teams on-eld success
continued beyond Little League
last summer. In their rst at-
tempt at a wooden-bat event,
the Bombers advanced to the
championship game in Chester,
N.Y. before losing by one run.
Phillips is assisted by Al Fin-
arelli and Joe Nocito.
The team consists of Jake
Connolly, Justin Finarelli, Chris-
topher Langan, Jack Lukasav-
age, Matt Maransky, Will Mc-
Crum, Lucas McGeehan, Sam
Nocito, Frank Nockley, Brett Os-
troski, Todd Phillips and Dylan
