His mother, Eleanor, has been the secretary at Lehman-Jackson since he was a student there and his wife, the former Shelene Perlis, is a ﬁfth-grade teacher there. “We have a business relationship in school,” James said of his mother, seated at the desk just outside his ofﬁce. “She’s Eleanor in school and Mom outside of school.” He reminisced about a recent visit from Charles James (no relation), principal at Lehman-Jackson during his school days. “He still lives around here and visited just a couple weeks ago,” James said. Of the move from Ross to Lehman-Jackson, James sees it as a “beginning pro-

The Jerry Sandusky appeal trial will NOT be heard at Dallas High School, after all. Neither will another case involving a man who sexually abused his daughter, said Pennsylvania Superior Court Justice president Jack Panella. Both cases cases will be now heard at the Luzerne County Courthouse. There will be many other cases

heard at the high school those two days - Sept. 17 and 18, according to Mary Graybill, chief prothonatory at the Superior Court. The idea to bring proceedings out of major cities is to allow the general public a chance to see the judicial porcess at work. It just so happened that the Sandusky appeal was on the docket for the days the process was scheduled for the Back See APPEAL | 8

TheWalk for Debbie’s Darlings

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dallas Post Correspondent

After bouts of heat and humidity, the skies cleared and the humidity lifted last Saturday. The heavens seemed to smile on the crowd of about 325 people in Mountaineer Field at Dallas Senior High School who walked to celebrate Debbie Darling Belenski’s life. Many commented they could feel her energy and presence on the field and that, somehow, she was there with them. The local woman died unexpectedly and suddenly from a brain aneurysm 10 months ago. “Debbie was healthier than you or I and most people. She taught aerobics class for 12 years,” said Mark Belenski, her husband, who, along with Debbie’s family and friends, organized the event. Her father and mother, Mary and Norm Darling, a popular Back Mountain couple who own a farm and produce stand on Hildebrant Road across from the entrance to the school complex, stood by a table which held pictures of Darling Belenski and a large, patched memorial quilt made from T- shirts she liked to wear. With tears running down her face, Mary Darling said, “This is a beautiful tribute to her. She loved to walk and run.” Money from the event

Mary Darling, mother of the late Debbie Darling Belenski — who died 10 months ago — is comforted by her sister-in-law, Sharon Strasser.

will be used to purchase 100 backpacks filled with school supplies for needy children and given to Catholic Social Services and the Dallas School District. Michele Luther, a coworker of Darling Belenski’s at Prudential Insurance in Scranton, remembered. “Debbie had a large, welcoming, hard-to-forget personality,” she said. “She did so much good and would help anyone.” Darling Belenski’s aunt,

78-year-old Florence Biagiotti, made one lap around the field with the aid of her cane. “A year ago Debbie came to Maryland and surprised me for my birthday and then she was gone. I’m not going to be a couch potato,” she said. Mark Belenski and the Darling family thanked all who participated in the walk. Belenski felt that organizing the walk helped him, too. “Deb was here with me

today and, along with all these people, this has helped me tremendously,” he said He plans to continue the tradition of a walk in her memory as long as the community remains involved and has an idea to set up a scholarship fund in his wife’s name at Dallas Senior High School, her alma mater. Anyone interested in volunteering or making a contribution to the fund can call Mark Belenski at 550-3647.

Chris and Michele Luther, of Archbald, worked in the Scranton office of Prudential Insurance with Debbie Darling Belenski and were particpants in ‘The Walk for Debbie’s Darlings’ held last Saturday.

Three hundred twenty five participants walked a mile at Dallas High School in memory of Debbie Darling Belenski, including her 78-year-old aunt, Florence Biagotti, walking with a cane.

DALLAS TOWNSHIP

Zoning board changes classification of building

The Back Mountain Center is changing from a medical facility to a mixed use property SUSAN BETTINGER

Dallas Post Correspondent

The Dallas Township Zoning Board gave approval to grant a special exception provision which changes a medical facility building to a mixed use property. The facility, located at 100 Upper Demunds Road, is known as the Back Mountain Medical Center. Only 1600 of the building’s 3500 sq. feet of space is being used and that maintains a medical lab. Wilkes-Barre General Hospital is the current owner of the building. The hospital’s representative, Mike Fetter, as well as real estate developer Joseph J. Narparlo, who developed more than 200 townhouses and condominiums from an area of farmland at close proximity to the Route 415 and

116 intersection, were present during a recent zoning board meeting. Narparlo plans to use the building, with the exception of the medical lab’s space, to construct approx. 24 to 32 1 and 2-bedroom apartment units. He stated that his target tenants will be young professionals. The rent for the upscale units will be $1,000-$1500 per month, according to Narparlo. All applicants will undergo a screening process before being approved for a rental in the building. In addition, Narparlo has agreed to add foliage, not limited to trees, between the multi-unit dwellings and the adjacent properties. Upper Demunds Road resident Brian Brick made known his opposition to the potential apartment complex plans. Brick had numerous con-

cerns about the complex’s plans such as the decreased quiet of the surrounding area and increased traffic. He said there will be “cars coming in and out 24/7” as opposed to the medical complex having traffic only during its business hours. Brick also cited safety issues as a matter of concern, saying that, with so many tenants occupying the multifamily units, there will be an increased chance of fire and other safety concerns. He added that the addition of a multi-family dwelling will reduce the value to the surrounding properties, as well as change the character of the neighborhood. Brick stated that he doesn’t want the neighborhood where he and his wife are raising their four young children to undergo such as drastic change.

Naparlo responded by saying that “something is going to happen sooner or later” and that he understood Brick’s concerns, adding that he and his family will maintain the present character of the neighborhood. When asked what other options were available for the building, Fetter explained it was highly unlikely that a nursing home facility would take over the property due to the large amount of money required for re-constructing the space in order to meet all legal regulations and codes. A group residence or rehabilitation center to house citizens recovering from substance abuse problems were other potential uses. Fetter added that Narparlo’s offer was the only one under consideration. The board also granted approval for John Young to relocate his car lot from Overbrook Road to 1189 Lower Demunds Road. Resident Terry Ogle questioned

Young on how his business would affect neighborhood properties, stating the previous business owners of the property were less than amicable. Young assured Oglethere will be no problems as a result of his business moving into the neighborhood and added that he has owned the lot on Overbrook Road for the past 8 to 10 years and many people didn’t even know a business was being operated there. Young also told Ogle to feel free to contact him at any time if a problem occurs. Ogle was in agreement to the offer. Young was granted the approval with the conditions that he maintains no more than 10 vehicles at a time at the location and no vehicle will be placed within 23 feet of any properties surrounding the lot. Young was granted an oral approval from the board and will receive a written decision within 45 days.

a medal for heroic actions. His father stated that when he was unable to take care of his family, his oldest son took over his role. Janie Lawless, of the Children’s Library in Scranton, had never been to the Hayﬁeld event before and was impressed with the day. She is a friend of Little Bear and thinks the event is a great way of bring Native American culture to the general population. Other entertainment acts included blues band, Teddy Young and the Aces, who returned to the event for the sixth year. Young, of Avoca, has been playing blues music since he was 15 years old and formed his band 20 years ago. The band’s drummer, Neil Longo, owns a drum company which sells drums to musicians all over the world. Numerous vendors also participated in the event. Bernadine Vojko and her mother, Bernadine Borinski, displayed Votko’s crafts from her Wyoming business, Flower Finery. Vojko, who teaches dance at Wyoming Seminary, begun working on crafts in 1985.

ers using pumpkins as one of her main themes. She said that it is a family event, where all members of her immediate family, including her parents, husband and sons have pitched in to help at one time or another. Her two sons began pasting ﬂowers on craft items when they were just toddlers. Vojko has been participating in Arts at Hayﬁeld for the past 25 years and looks forward to attending the event each year because it is “part of ending the summer and a chance to see old friends again.” Patti Kachmar, of Kingston, and her cousin,

Janet McCarroll, of Lehman, displayed their hand-crafted quilted creations. The two participate in the event to sell their items and to be able to “sit and catch up on what each has been doing during the past year.” The items are also displayed at events for the Back Mountain Harvest Peace Makers’ Club. Diana Hydock, of Jeddo, brought her 35-year-old home business, “One White Flower” to the event. Hydock started by learning to weave when she was an art major in college. Her craft collection includes painting, mixed paper, ceramics, and fabric.

The borough’s LSA grant expiration date has been extended from June 2014 to June 2015. Originally, all renovations and repairs made to the Harveys Lake Police Station would need to be completed by June 30, 2014 butt he delay in getting the grant’s approval has made it necessary to extend the cutoff date. The grant has recently been held up due to the change in plans for the police station’s location. Initially, the police station was set to be moved to the borough’s recreation center, located in a remote area of the lake. Many residents voiced strong opinions, hoping the station would remain at its present location at the main entrance to the lake. Councilwoman Michell’e Boice stated, “We need police presence to be visible when people come into the borough and not hidden.” The borough has received approval for the $78,000 LSA grant that will be used to make updates

A father and son duo brought their Native American culture to Lehman during the Penn State/Wilkes Barre campus event, “Arts at Hayfield.” Frank Little Bear, of York, accompanied by his 10-yearold son, Thomas Little Thunder, performed several tribal dances, such as the Eagle Dance the Sneak up Dance and the Snake Dance. Little Bear explained that the Eagle Dance is the welcoming dance. The Sneak up Dance was previously performed as a war dance and now has a new meaning; it is used to “pay tribute to veterans and war heroes.” The Snake Dance is the social dance where all in attendance are invited to join in as a symbol of different cultures merging together and “finding the best in humanity.” Little Bear stated that “all human beings are on this earth for a purpose and as a solution to a problem.” Little Bear has been attending the Hayfield events since 1999 and said he will return every year to share his culture with others so that they can get a better understanding of Native Americans. Little Bear is from the Cree tribe of Western Canada and the North-West plains states. He explained that other Native Americans can tell which tribe and status a Native American is from by looking at the feather he wears, the manner in which he braids his hair, the particular head gear he wears and his body movements. Little Bear and his three children were involved in a serious automobile accident on Jan. 5 of this year. Thomas Little Thunder was able to pry himself out of the car and get help for his father and younger brother and sister. The young man was awarded

In addition, the board also approved the contract between the district and UGI Services Inc. (Gasmark-Powermark) for the period of Feb. 7, 2014 to Feb. 1, 2015. This comes at a $9,500 savings to the district. * The district has approved the purchase of a Melco Amaya Bravo 16 needle embroidery machine and heavy duty cart at a cost of $11,995 for the Graphics Arts class. Two days of training is also included at no additional charge to the district. The district will now be able to do in-house embroidery work on such items as school caps, sweatshirts, band uniforms. etc. * The board has approved the quote from Simplex Grinnell, of Allentown, to replace the main ﬁre alarm control panel at the panel at the Lake-Noxen Elementary building at a cost of $9,893.67.

and repairs on the existing police station. The money will pay for the station’s foundation and walls to be renovated, as well as an upgrade to the conditioning and heating systems ,among other repairs. The borough must now wait for the revised contract before putting the work contacts out to bid. This action is expected to take place within the next few weeks. Boice has also stated that council is looking into taking over the borough’s trash collection. The borough’s current garbage contract runs out at the end of December. Boice said council is looking to advertise for new bids in October, but is looking only for one or two year bids so as not to be locked into a contrac-

tor, since the municipality will take over garbage collection in December. Boice explained that Harveys Lake would model the collection after the DAMA (Dallas Area Municipal Authority) system of trash collection. Council members Fran Kopko, Tom Kehler and Boice have gone out to see how DAMA’s system works. “We would need to hire two employees, purchase a truck and a compactor,” Boice stated. She further added that trash collection takes up one third of the borough’s budget, the same percentage as the police department and, if the borough takes over its See ExTENDED | 8

Pat Giordano, of harveys Lake, feels fortunate that she was able to capture this Cooper’s hawk with her camera. Pat had spotted the hawk a few times, but was never able to get a picture. Cooper’s hawks are among the bird world’s most skillful fliers. once thought to dislike towns and cities, they are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat.

Elves of yesteryear displayed at library Eight-year-old Charlie Kappler V, son of Chas and Leah Kappler, of Dallas, will display the family’s collection of “Pixie KneeHugging Elves” at the Back Mountain Memorial Library in September. A third-grade student at Wycallis Elementary school, Charlie, along with his sister, Carly, a fifth-grade student, have been collecting the elves for one year. During a family vacation to the beach last fall, mom said they noticed the elves on a shelf while visiting an antique toy shop. “They reminded us of our own elves on the shelf and the elf on the shelf legend,” she said. Most of the elves were purchased online and were shipped from throughout the United States and Canada.

Although they look somewhat similar, each of these elves of yesteryear style their own unique personality and attire. The Kapplers’ Christmas tree theme this past year was these whimsical vintage elves circa 1950s to 1970s. Their tree was topped with a matching period pixie knee-hugging elf tree topper. “The elves truly added a special magic to our holiday season,” Leah Kappler said Charlie and Carly have their favorite elves. Charlie states he chooses his favorites by their faces and the different clothes they wear. The family’s 150 vintage elves will sitt on the library display case shelves for an entire month for all to come and see before the holiday season arrives.

Fundraising effortswill remember Rondina,militaryveterans Rock Rec Center is working on plans for a POW/MIA Memorial at the base of its driveway and an artificial turf outdoor playing field in the name of Matthew Rondina TOM ROBINSON

For The Dallas Post

The Rock Recreation Center in Trucksville will raise money for two memorial causes with its Rockathon, scheduled for Sept. 20-22. The Rock is working on plans for both a POW/MIA Memorial at the base of its driveway and an artiﬁcial turf outdoor sports playing ﬁeld in the name of Matthew Benjamin Rondina, a Kingston Township Raiders youth football player who died at age 13 in 1998 from brain cancer. A personal athletic challenge from one of Rondina’s friends, a 5K trail run and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, is part of the weekend along with other community activities. Elijah Miller, development director at Rock Recreation, will

attempt to run 54 miles Friday. Rondina wore number 54 as a junior football player and many of the weekend’s events have a connection to that number. There will also be a Watch Fire ceremonial burning from Friday night, Sept. 20 into the following morning in memory of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action soldiers. The 5K trail run and 3-on3 basketball tournaments are scheduled for Sept. 21 when live music and food and craft vendors are also planned to create a carnival atmosphere at Rock Recreation. Related basketball activities, including a two-hour camp that is included with registration in the tournament, continue Sept 22. Miller, 27, is a Dallas and Penn State graduate currently pursuing his MBA at The University of Scranton.

IF YOU GO … The 5K trail run and 3-on-3 basketball tournaments are scheduled for Sept. 21 when live music and food and craft vendors are also planned to create a carnival atmosphere at Rock Recreation. Related basketball activities, including a two-hour camp that is included with registration in the tournament, continue Sept 22. During his days as a high school football player with the Mountaineers, he always played with the number 54 written on his arm to remember his friend and former junior football teammate. His latest effort to honor Rondina’s memory is the “strong run” in which he plans to cover a mile at a time and complete each mile with 10 pull-ups. “Basically, my goal is within a 12-hour period to run 54 miles and do 540 pull-ups,” Miller said. Miller has run up to 25 miles

in training efforts. “Usually, when you train for something like this, you do 50 to 75 percent of the goal in training,” Miller said. “Then, you try to let heart and adrenaline take care of the rest.” Miller is trying to call attention to fundraising efforts for the Matthew Benjamin Rondina Memorial Sports Field. He said the total project, including site preparation and bleachers next to the ﬁeld, will cost close to $1 million and the non-proﬁt organization has progressed about

$175,000 toward that goal. Plans call for Rondina’s number 54 to be stitched into the turf in the middle of the field, which would become the new home of the Kingston Township Raiders. “It would be a community field,” Miller said. “Rock Rec sports and camps, Kingston Township Raiders football and all other types of sports and camps would use it.” Miller said the field would be lined for multiple sports. The POW/MIA activities are part of being patriotic and putting country above community, according to Miller. Former Korean War POW Fred Searles and Debra Kay Anderson, the daughter of an MIA U.S. Air Force pilot, will be the guest speakers at a Watch Fire Service. The Watch Fire will be built at dusk and continue to burn until dawn and will be the center of music, prayer and other activities for veterans organizations. “It’s also an honorable flag burning night where, if people

Back Mountain trio leads Holy Redeemer duffers Mariano Medico, Chase Makowski and Michael Boland lead Royals to team title at Wyoming Valley Conference Tryba Preseason Tournament TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Mariano Medico, Chase Makowski and Michael Boland spent many of their summer days at Huntsville Golf Club, golfing together, working on their individual games and preparing for the high school season where they are teammates at Holy Redeemer. That preparation appears to have paid off. Medico, a Shavertown resident, won his second straight individual title Monday at the Wyoming Valley Conference Tryba Preseason Tournament. With help from Dallas residents Makowski and Boland, Medico also led Holy Redeemer to the team title. “It’s a good tournament to sort of feel out the competition, feel out where we are on the team level,” said Medico, who shot even-par 71 and led Holy Redeemer to a 17-stroke team victory over Crestwood. “With the high expectations that we have as a team this year, for me, it was to see what we are up against in the conference. “There are a couple of teams that can give us trouble in the conference, but if we are play our game, we have a real good shot at the conference championship.” Medico also placed third in the Tryba Tournament as a freshman and second as a sophomore before picking up the first of his two wins last season. His current and future teammate helped the Royals dominate the tournament. Both Medico and Makowski made commitments to play Division I college golf at Monmouth University in New Jersey during August. “We’re both going to the same school, both playing Division I golf, so we’re really excited,” Medico said. Makowski tied for fifth

with a 76 and was one of four players who made up the Holy Redeemer team score. Boland shot a 79, which did not count in the team score because four Holy Redeemer players shot 78 or better. It was plenty good enough, however, to have helped with the team title if his score was needed. It also made him one of just 11 players to break 80 out of 76 in the field. Medico needed to recover from a bad hole to win his title. He offset a triple bogey on 7 at Fox Hill Country Club and another bogey with four birdies. “It was nice that he can have a bad hole in the middle and be able to get it all back,” Holy Redeemer coach Art Brunn Jr. told The Times Leader. “I’m proud that he didn’t give up and he hung in there like that.” Medico made it back to even par at 16 when he recovered from a hooked tee shot to punch out from the trees 100 yards away all the way to the front of the green. From there, he made a 25-footer for a birdie-3. “That was really big for me to get it back to even with two holes to play,” said Medico, a junior member at Huntsville, who is also a member at Fox Hill where his father and grandfather have been long-time members. Medico finished fifth in the state in Class AA last year. He considers a state title to be within his capabilities. “Last year, I sort of said to myself, ‘if you can place, it would be great’,” Medico said. “This year, I feel like I really want to win that state championship. “ … I think I’m going to go in with a little different attitude than last year and go in there thinking I can compete to win.” Medico has learned he

want to come from the community and honorably get rid of an old flag, they can,” Miller said. “ … People can stop and pray for troops, share their stories, that kind of thing.” The 5K run will include different physical challenges. After the first 1K (six-tenths of a mile) loop at Rock Recreation, competitors will do 54 pushups. They will do 54 sit-ups after the second, 54 jumping jacks after the third and 54 mountain climbers after the fourth. The top male and female finishers will receive a one-year membership to the Rock Rec Center and Valley Tennis & Swim Club. Entry forms for the 5K trail run and 3-on-3 basketball are available at rockrec.org where there are also videos explaining the events. Miller also wrote and recorded a song “54 Soldiers” in which 70 cents of every 99 cent fee paid for an I-Tunes download will go directly to the two fundraisers.

That’s the focus for me

right now — my putting. “I know that if I can roll the ball well, then I’m going to score well. That’s the thing I’ve really been working on and I know I have to get a little better around the greens because I’ve been a little streaky with my chipping.” Holy Redeemer shot a 298 and Crestwood 315. Coughlin was next

with 325, followed by Tunkhannock with 336. Dallas shot 339 to place ﬁfth out of 13 teams. LakeLehman was one of the three schools that entered individuals, but not enough for a four-player team score. Medico won the individual title by two strokes over teammate Andrew Crossin. Sean Solytsiak led Tunkhannock by shooting 77 to ﬁnish seventh overall. Chad DeBona led Dallas with an 82, one shot better than teammate Ryan Georgetti. Nick Egan and Adam Motovidlak each shot 84 for Lake-Lehman.

C TEAM Dallas 38 Kingston Twp. 6 The Dallas Junior Mounts C team had a successful start to their season, defeating the Kingston Township Raiders, 38-6. KT won the coin toss and elected to defer. Dallas chose to receive and recovered KT’s onside kick. Dallas RB Jared Adamski found a huge hole on the ﬁrst play from scrimmage and scampered 58 yards for a touchdown. Mitch Burgess added the 2-point conversion and Dallas had an 8-0 lead. The Junior Mount defense held KT to 3-and-out and took possession of the ball. Adamski dropped back to pass and, with all of his receivers covered, ran down the sideline for another long Dallas touchdown. Mitch Burgess added the 2-point conversion and Dallas led, 16-0. Adamski added two more touchdowns in the second quarter with Lucas Shultz adding the 2-point conversion and Dallas built a commanding 32-0 lead at halftime. In the second half, Jace Chopyak added one more touchdown on a long run up the middle for Dallas. The Junior Mount defense was stingy all day, giving up minimal yards. Lucas Shultz had wosacks, Joe “Missle” Peters had four tackles for a loss and a fumble recovery, Ryan Cuba had ﬁve tackles for a loss and Alex Hajikowski had an interception to lead the charge on defense.
