Back Mountain Baseball Inc. has
been offered a new home — a new
location to build regulation fields for
both hardball and softball. It is an
offer that members of the board and
the general membership feel is too
good to turn down. It is an offer,
however, that is two or three years,
perhaps more, down the road.
The Dallas Area Fall Fair Asso-
ciation has offered the Back Moun-
tain Baseball Corporation 13 acres
of undeveloped land below the
newly-constructed craft buildings on
the Luzerne County fairgrounds.
The ground needs to be cleared,
leveled, seeded, and the necessary
buildings constructed. The members
of the Back Mountain Baseball
organization can design the fields
any way they desire.
The offer from the Fall Fair
officials comes at an opportune time
since the baseball organization
recently signed a five-year lease
with the Dallas School District to
use the fields adjacent to the Dallas
Township Elementary building,
fields they have been using for a
long period of time.
The new lease, however, includes
a special 180-day termination
“clause, which can be used by either
party. According to George Poyn-
ton, president of Back Mountain
Baseball, Inc., this five-year lease
could be the final lease for the
school property. Since the baseball
organization has put $12,500 into the
renovation and maintenance of the
present field, they are reluctant to
spend any more on a site which they
may not be able to use in future
years.
There are a few pieces of prop-
erty in the Back Mountain area
which are suitable for the Little
League and softball teams so the
offer from the Fall Fair officials is
logical for the baseball organiza-
tion.
“To clear and level the grounds
will : require the cooperation and
assistance of all the coaches, man-
agers, parents and even many of
the team members. There is a lot of
work that will have to be done,
much of which can be done by
members of our organization, if
they all pitch in and help,” said
Poynton. “In order to build a press
box, and a large building for storing
equipment, and a meeting room, it
will require a great deal of money
so we will have to hold numerous
fundraisings.”
One of these! fundraisings will
occur very soon, when the Fall Fair
opens Sept. 3. The members of the
Back Mountain Baseball Inc. will
have a stand at the Fair where they
hope to raise some of the necessary
money for the expenses which will
be incurred by the new field.
Poynton said that Fall Fair offi-
cials have been very frank and very
cooperative with the Baseball Board
of Directors. He also said that there
will be plenty of room for parking
and for a regulation softball field
for the girls.
Poynton was quick to say that
none of this will happen overnight
but will take years to fully achieve
everything needed for the associa-
tion.
Ray Hillman, a past president of
the Fall Fair Association and this
year’s Fall Fair Chairman, said
that this is the goal of the Fall Fair
Association.
“The Fall Fair grounds belongs to
problems.

the community. We use it only five
days out of the year for the Fair to
raise funds to continue to develop
the grounds,” said Hillman. ‘We
hope some day in the future to be
able to have more than horseshoes,
baseball fields and soccer fields.

Eventually, we hope to be able to

a large recreation complex for the

Mountain area.”
Committee
is formed
The Board of School Directors
of the Lake-Lehman School Dis-
trict has announced the forma-
tion of an Advisory Committee to
assist in the development of the
District’s Long Range Plan for
School Improvement.
Hillman pointed out that the
horseshoe pitchers were the first to
develop and maintain a site at the
fairgrounds. He said there is no
reason why the baseball association
cannot take advantage of the Fall
Fair Association’s offer and design
and develop their fields as they
desire. The soccer association will
be able to take advantage of the .
same opportunities. - Applications are requested for
membership on this committee.
For information, please contact
the Junior High School Office at
675-2165, extension 41, or the
Superintendent’s Office.
There is a new look on the Fall
Fair grounds this year - a look
many residents of the area have not
seen. There are new buildings, a
horseshoe ring, a large oval in the
center of the grounds where all the
exhibits will be this year, all electri-
cal wires and other utilities are
underground, “and many more
