School District Superintendent
James McGovern told an audito-
rium packed with residents at a
town hall meeting Wednesday
evening.
McGovern called the meeting
to promote transparency, as he
felt there were concerns and con-
fusion about what the board was
proposing in order to balance the
budget.
The district is proposing to re-
move itself from the Northeast
PennsylvaniaHealthTrust, acon-
sortium of 11 districts formed to
keep insurance costs low, in favor
of a self-funded plan that could
save about $1million a year.
The district was recently de-
nied removal from the trust, as it
requires at least one year notice
before a district can leave the
group. McGovernproposedamo-
tion for the trust to change its by-
laws so the district could leave
more quickly.
Despite the denial, the district
plans to continue to fight for the
health care changes McGovern
told residents, employees and
parents.
If I fail, I fail, but Imnot going
to back off this and leave $1 mil-
lion on the table just because
someone said I cant, or its too
hard, he said.
The district is facing a $1.8 mil-
lion deficit for the 2012-13 school

Tammy Keller of Fair-
mount Springs was the epi-
tome of a bag lady at the
first-ever Trashion Show at
Ross Elementary School on
April 27, but then again, she
wasnt alone.
Her ensemble was created
using various bags crochet-
ed plastic grocery bags made
a mini skirt and a fancifully
cut feeder bag was fash-
ioned into a chic top. Kellers
tote bag was one of the only
things not made of bags it
was created by sewing empty
juice pouches together.
I had seen a similar bag at
the store and its very expen-
sive, said Keller, whose
niece and nephew, Sarah and
Nathan Stanski, attend Ross
Elementary. I work at a pre-
school and my friends drink
these so I just had them save
them for me.
The Trashion Show was
held in conjunction with
Ross Elementarys daylong
Earth Day celebration, a
school-wide tradition for
nearly 10 years.
Several other teachers and
family members made cos-
tumes out of grocery bags,
but found fashionable uses
for other recyclable materi-
als, too.
Ellen Boyer, of Ross Town-
ship, and her granddaughter
Megan Hogan developed the
idea for the woven magazine
strip dress Boyer donned for
the event.
The dress was accentuated
with a foil bracelet, a neck-
lace made out of a CD and
drapery hooks, and a plastic
container-turned-purse.
When I was in college, I
read a book called, Future
Shock, said Boyer. It talk-
ed about a throwaway socie-
ty, and eventually people be-
came things, and they were
disposable, too. I want kids
to learn there are other uses
for things.
Kids participated in other
environmentally-conscious
activities throughout the
day, including a scavenger
hunt, face painting and a mo-
vie about Planet Earth.
Second-grade teacher
Shannon Kreidler, of Pikes
Creek, said a committee of
teachers found the idea on
the Internet as a way to up-
date the celebration.
Kreidler, who adorned her-
self in multi-colored bubble
wrap for the occasion, said
the event creates a visual re-
minder for kids to learn
about reducing waste.
Teachers, parents and fam-
ily members created cos-
tumes to model at the fash-
ion show, which featured a
green-themed runway, strobe
lights, a DJ and Ross Ele-
mentary student Jacob Prest
as master of ceremonies.
It was one of those times
that young children were en-
couraged to scream their
lungs out teachers and par-
ents paraded down the cat-
walk as youngsters hooted
and hollered while extending
their tiny hands for a high-
five from the strutting mod-
els.
This is fantastic, teacher
assistant Megan Nice, of
Sweet Valley, said after she
sashayed down the runway
wearing an outfit made of
duct tape and coffee filters.
The kids are just so excit-
ed.
Nikki Kowalski, of Sweet
Valley, dreamed up her
Trashion Show debut the
night before the event. She
outfitted herself in a black
garbage bag, but cinched her
waist with a broken rainbow-
colored Slinky.
Kowalski even made a fas-
cinator the royals of England
would envy the show-stop-
ping factor was a cardboard
paper towel roll protruding
above her head.
It gets kids thinking
about recycling, said Kowal-
ski, whose two grandchil-
dren, Faith and Patrick De-
Piero, attend Ross Elemen-
tary.

The Dallas Foundation re-
cently installed a sign in front of
Dallas Elementary School off
Hildebrandt Road to track the
progress of its first major pro-
ject the installation of another
sign.
The group hopes to raise
enough funds to install a state-
of-the-art electronic sign on
State Route 309 to replace the
current sign that dates back to
the 1960s.
The sign in front of Dallas
Elementary will be used to cre-
ate public awareness of the pro-
ject and to track its progress. It
was created with the help of
Dallas High School students
and technology education
teacher Marty OHora.
My children created the
Mountaineer design, said
Chad Lojewski, a foundation
board member.
Lojewski gave the design to
OHora, and the students
worked on the project between
class assignments on a volun-
teer basis.
We can only do so much as a
foundation, and to have this
kind of engagement so quickly
was great, said Lojewski.
Lojewski said Gerard Geise,
owner of Dallas Center Hard-
ware, donated paint for the pro-
ject and school officials, such as
middle school principal Tho-
mas Duffy, even helped in the
signs creation.
We had complete support
from administration, he said.
There were a lot of people in-
volved.
Geise said the sign ties the
Dallas Foundation and the dis-
trict in with the community.
The idea of the Dallas Moun-
taineer has been around since
the 1960s, and now here he is
brought to life, said Geise.
Lojewski said the goal of the
foundation is to support stu-
dents within the district,
whether it be by providing sup-
plies or creating scholarships,
and he hopes the community
will see it as a worthy cause.
People get cautious during
this kind of economy, and hope-
fully we can bridge the gap and
help with budgetary concerns,
said Lojewski.
David Simpson, vice presi-
dent of the foundation, said the
tracking sign will spur more
fundraising projects and he
hopes the community will be-
come more vocal about what
projects are needed within the
district.
They can come and ask us
and bring forth ideas for pro-
jects, he said. Our goal is to
have the electronic sign up by
this summer.
One of the several upcoming
events in support of the founda-
tion is a golf tournament to be
held on June 22 at the Mill Race
Golf Course in Benton.

Eskimo Joe, or E.J., as his fam-
ily calls him, is a 6-year-old Pem-
broke Welsh Corgi who manages
to stay positive despite his lack of
prize-winning pedigree in the
dog world.
Hes been entered in a few dog
shows over the years, but has yet
to win a single title.
E.J.s owner, Ashley Scaffido,
entered E.J. in the second annual
M.U.T.T.S. Dog Show at Miser-
icordia University on April 28,
hoping to change his luck. He
was entered in three categories
cutest, best hair/fur and best
name.
Were keeping our fingers
crossed, said Scaffido, of
Swoyersville.
E.J. was named after a Stillwa-
ter, Okla.-based eatery called Es-
kimo Joes, near where Scaffido
and her family used to live.
We thought it was a cool
name, she said. We actually
picked it out before we got him.
Scaffido said the logo of the
restaurant features a grinning Es-
kimo and an equally happy dog
with pointy ears, which reminds
her of her own Eskimo Joe.
Hes always happy and has a
smile on, said Scaffido. We say
he has honey bear eyes, and they
sparkle when the sun hits them.
Macaroni, a pure-bred English
bulldog, lounged in the grass be-
fore the contest as his parents,
Nicole Martin and Charles
Hampton Jr. of Nanticoke,
fawned over him.
Everything about him is spe-
cial, said Martin. He loves to
kiss and eat and lay around.
Martin said ever since she saw
comedian Adam Sandlers bull-
dogMeatball, she fell inlove with
the breed.
Ive always wanted one, and
he exceeds my expectation every
day, she said.
Macaroni, who was named as
such because he reminds Martin
of a noodle when he walks, was
entered in three categories cut-
est, best personality and best
name.
The 3-year-old pup is familiar
with dog show fanfare Martin
enteredhiminseveral other com-
petitions, and Macaroni is a pro-
ven winner.
He won first place at a Hallo-
ween show at Petsmart he

Supervisors told residents
during a work session on Tues-
day about new plans proposed
by the state Department of
Transportation that would reme-
dy traffic flow issues on Upper
Demunds Road.
The new plan features a
throughway from Upper De-
munds Road through township
property to State Route 309,
which would have a traffic light
at the intersection.
Part of Upper Demunds Road
between that intersection and
the intersection with Hilde-
brandt Road would be cut off
from public use.
Supervisor Liz Martin said the
new plan would cost about $1.5
million more than the original
plan, and state officials wanted
township input before moving
forward with the options.
The original plan was to cre-
ate an extension of Upper De-
munds Road between the Coun-
try Club Shopping Center and
M&T Bank, which would re-
quire a traffic light once the road
met Route 309.
Township Engineer Thomas
Doughton said the new option
would be a safer choice because
it would eliminate the S-turn
from Route 309 to Upper De-
munds Road and provide sig-
nalized access to the township
building.
He also said it would increase
the distance between the two
traffic signals, which would also
increase safety.
Doughton said the plan would
need to be approved by the
township planning commission
if it were chosen for the project.
The project is in conjunction
with plans to create a round-
about in the five-corners area of
Dallas Borough. Martin said be-
cause of the connection of the
projects, PennDOT hopes to
complete the Upper Demunds
Road portion before the end of
next year when work is sched-
uled to begin in the borough.

Township Emergency Man-
agement Agency Director Alan
Pugh is still researching prices
for emergency alert systems for
residents.
He said there is currently a
county system at Luzerne.alert-
pa.org that features Dallas
Township as an alert topic, and
alerts would be sent through e-
mail and text messages.
Pugh also said a 911 call was
received on April 27 concerning
loud noises coming from the
Chief Gathering LLC pipeline
construction project. He said the
noises were made from a grinder
that was part of the construction
process.
The project includes building
a pipeline to connect to the
Transco interstate pipeline near
the Dallas School District cam-
pus off Hildebrandt Road.
Supervisors will continue to
research whether an independ-
ent audit of township finances is
a worthwhile venture.

New efforts at Dallas Elemen-
tary School are bringing back
the importance of character de-
velopment among little ones
and their teachers.
Two years ago, the school be-
gan working with the Ambassa-
dor Company, which provides
character development books
and materials for students in
first and fourth grades. The
company works with local busi-
nesses for donations so the ma-
terials can be provided at no
cost to the school district.
I found this program almost
by accident, when the district
first started with the budget
cuts, said Principal Tom Trav-
er.
He said the books Dallas Ele-
mentary received last year were
kept in good condition so the
new books donated this year
will be sent to Wycallis Elemen-
tary for use by students there.
The books feature lessons
such as being and doing ones
best, manners, responsibility,
friendship, family, poison con-
trol and other topics.
The program also features an
interactive website that works
with the books, so students can
continue their learning at
home.
It solidifies what were
teaching them at school, Trav-
er said of the books.
Traver said this is all part of a
school-wide positive behavior
program he started at the
school in his second year as
principal. He said the program
was spurred by ongoing behav-
ior issues, such as seeing chil-
dren use technology in a nega-
tive manner.
Children have no break from
each other anymore, he said.
They used to have the sum-
mer, with no phones or Inter-
net, and they had limited social
interaction. Now they have un-
limited social interaction, with
cell phones. iPods, computers
theres always someone there,
and its too much.
Traver said little lessons be-
came imbedded into the curri-
culum in order to teach kids to
be more tolerant of one anoth-
er. After years of rewarding stu-
dents, he formed a committee
of teachers and guidance coun-
selors to create a more positive
environment in which students
could learn.
Teachers created their own
forms of positive behavior tac-
tics, including reward systems
for performing good deeds.
Traver has seen the results of
this hidden curriculum
through decreased disciplinary
referrals and students interac-
ing with one another during
lunch and recess periods.
Now the school is working on
a resurgence of the positive be-
havior program, thanks to prin-
cipal intern Mark Adams. The
Niceness is Priceless cam-
paign is depicted as a rainbow
with each color representing a
character trait students learn in
each grade.

painted in the cafeteria to re-
mind students of the lessons,

and Todd Phillips demonstrate how to greet each other with a
handshake in front of a hand-painted sign at the school remind-
