A GREAT BIG
CONGRATULATIONS to Judy
Lemmond of Dallas, daughter of
Senator and Mrs. Charles Lemmond
on her recent engagement.
I had the pleasure of being
introduced to Senator Lemmond at
a business dinner last week and he
told me the good new about Judy’s
engagement. Judy and I used to
play softball together so I was
thrilled to hear the news.
The senator explained that Judy
was marrying ‘‘that other softball
player, Bill.” As fondly as only a
father could say, the senator
proceeded to tell me. “Their big
vacation together is going to a
softball tournament. But I guess
they’re happy.”
SENATOR and
exchanged some}.
quips during the | &
evening,
beginning with
him telling me
that he has seen |
the name “Dott
Martin” on so | a
many
publications DOTTY MARTIN
lately, he began to think it was just
a fictitious name that our company
put on its publications. (The senator
was referring to seeing my name on
our sister publications, the Abington
Journal in Clarks Summit and the
Northeast Pennsylvania Business
Journal.)
The funny part about it is that
Senator Lemmond is not the first
person who has told me my name
sounds fictitious. I have been told
that before when I’m introduced to
people.
Just think - so many famous
people put so much time and effort
into selecting just the right fictitious
name while I walk around with a
fictitious. Too bad I wasn’t rich and
famous. I'd only have to worry
about spending my money and not
about changing my name.

CONGRATULATIONS are also
extended to Maureen and Jeff
Banks of Trucksville who recently
moved into their new home.
Maureen and Jeff and their four
children, Jeff Jr., Holly, Tracy and
Becky recently resided on
Carverton Road but are just thrilled
to be in their new house with all
that land, a pond and their very own
apple orchard.

MAUREEN BANKS claims she is
going to buy a goose for protection.
Seriously! According to Maureen, a
goose will make so much noise
when a stranger approaches your
house, that you're better off with a
goose than you are a dog.
And Jeff certainly knows a goose
is not going to let anyone onto the
property who doesn’t belong there.

JOE MARCELONIS, our
dispatcher to our corporate
headquarters in Bloomsburg, had
his eye caught by a rather amusing
bumper sticker on one of his jaunts
last week.
In large letters, the sticker read,
‘40 isn’t old.” Then, in smaller
letters, “If you're a tree.”

WELCOME HOME to Shirley
Major of Sweet Valley. Shirley has
been doctoring a foot problem for
almost a year now and has had all
kinds of trouble in getting the foot to
heal.
Finally, her husband Russ took
her to Philadelphia where Shirley
was diagnosed as having a
hooked up to intravenous feedings of
Vitamin C for a while, Shirley’s foot
is healing much better - and she’s
reportedly even walking on it
already.
It sure was a long haul, Shirley,
but we’re all glad you up and at ’em
again. Now, get back to the shop as
soon as you can - us motorcycle
people have missed seeing you.

GET WELL WISHES are
extended to Dolores Tamannini of
Back Mountain Video. :
Dolores managed to fall down the
cellar steps a few weeks ago and
has watched her ankle get
progressively worse ever since.
Finally deciding to do something
about it, Dolores wound up with a
cast on her foot and a cane to aid in
her walking. The foot doctor knows
Dolores all too well, though and
instead of telling her to stay off her
foot with the cast on it, she put a
walking cast on Dolores and gives
her as much freedom as she wants.

IT SEEMED TO BE a week of
foot problems in the Back Mountain
this week.
Our own Olga Kostrobala of
Powderhorn Drive, Dallas, returned
to work this past Monday after
being on vacation last week.
Olga’s vacation ended on a sour
note, however, as she was stung by
a bee first on one foot and then
twice on the other foot just as she
got home.

AND, ALONG THE SAME LINES
- how about the Dallas woman who
ran over her daughter’s toes with
the car last week while she was
backing the car into the garade.
Seems the child was standing
along the driveway and the mother,
not knowing the child was there, ran
right over the edge of the girl’s toes.
The latest report, however, had the
young lady in good condition with no
major damage to her foot.

-A WORD OF ADVICE to the
woman who not only managed to
lock her keys in her car last week,
but somehow figured out a way to
lock her spare set inside the car,
also.
Put a spare key on the outside of
your car somewhere - so you won’t
have to attack the poor vehicle with
a hanger next time.

CONGRATULATIONS to Dallas

Miers and James Tupper who have
made speedy recoveries after being
shot during an altercation at the

quickly as they are.

either newspaper carriers, school
correspondents or this year’s

same. Those we honored were

Opinion
By HOWARD J. GROSSMAN
Special to The Dallas Post
Whether it is the call to arms or
the call to domestic tranquility, the
quality of leadership most often
determines the outcome of the
battle. Given the circumstances of
the era in which Northeastern Penn-
sylvania finds itself today, leader-
ship is on the move and creative
ways to encourage new leadership
are breaking the ranks of past
traditions. The opportunities which
present themselves dictate leader-
ship style and effective ledership
management.
In still other instances, luck has
the Pocono Northeast to cause the

much to do with the ability to lead
and command. The ability to lead
Northeastern Pennsylvania out of
the wilderness of economic stagna-
vegetation of economic stability
means a commitment from all cur-
rent leaders and those who follow to
achieve a consensus of action.
This agenda for the future is
being created through the outstand-
ing leadership development pro-
grams which have come about in
the first half of the 1980’s in parts of
Northeastern Pennsylvania. If any
single characteristic or action has
enabled a new glow of positive
feeling and enlightment, it is the 10
years of combined experience which
the Leadership Wilkes-Barre, Lead-
ership Lackawanna, and Leadership
Hazleton Programs have brought to
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Encouraging new leadership takes
considerable work but the response
to the Leadership programs has
been an amazing story which has
generated substantial commitment,
both in time and money, to enable
these programs to be an astonishing
success. In fact, the local leadership
programs should be emulated state-
wide through a Leadership Pennsyl-
vania process by which state issues
are addressed along with sub-state
topics which require state actions to
resolve.
Additionally, a Leadership II
process in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania could be a graduate program
for local leadership students to
examine regional issues in depth,
and to establish a basis for regional
cooperation, if not regional unity.
The attributes of leadership are
no stranger to Northeastern Penn-
sylvania. The talent exists within
region to prosper and be a major
force for many decades in the state
and union. Leadership qualities
have clearly been shown by the
number of leadership graduates in
the three local leadership programs
who have gone on to service a wide
variety of boards and committees
throughout Northeast Pennsylvania.
With over 200 graduates thus far
in the five years since the first
Leadership Wilkes-Barre Program
was initiated, the Wilkes-Barre
area, Lackawanna County and the
Greater Hazleton area have assured
themselves of a positive mixture of
leadership capacity of all ages.

Library news
By NANCY KOZEMCHAK
Library Correspondent
Our Care Bear contest has
become an exciting part of the
children’s visit to the library. To
date, 235 children have voted for
their favorite Car Bear. the contest
will run until August 27 when the
winners will be announced after a
drawing of the winning entrants at 2
p.m. oa
The bear with the most votes will 4
be the winner and each child who
voted for that bear will receive'a
prize. One of those winners will be
chosen for the grand prize. Children
in the Back Mountain area up to 12 x
years of age are eligible to enter the Li
contest. Application cards are
available at the Care Bear display
in the library.
Our seashell display has been
receiving a lot of attention. One of
our loyal auction supporters was
donating an antique for the auction
and also gave me some special
seashells to give to the boy who had
the collection at the library.
Paul Deeble, who owns the
collection, was in the library the
other day and I was able to present
these shells to him along with a
special small container which can
be used as a trinket box for pennies,
paper clips, golf tees or whatever. }
This was one of those “I couldn’t
resist’ purchases and I had to give
it to Paul because of what it was
decorated with. Seashells - what
else?
I was down on Public Square last
week after taking care of some
business in the area and got to
listen to a neat band, Turning Point,
on the bandshell during children’s
day at the Farmer’s Market. While
in the vicinity, I poked my head into
the Paramount to view the current
production. There is a whole lot of
action going on and it is definitley a
hard hat area.
There are a lot of people working
very hard getting it all together,
moving toward the 19th of
September, the grand opening date
of the Paramount Civic Center. I
hope to e in the audience that night,
some how, some way, for a number
of special reasons. The performance
planned for opening night should be
spectacular; the center itself should
be a thing of beauty; and my own
personal reason for wanting to be
there is to celebrate my birthday.
September 19th has always been an
important date in my life and I
think it’s great that the Paramount
opening night is planned for that
date. I hope to be there to shout
“Bravo!”

Mrs. Moss, our Ham ’'n Yegg
chairman, called me the other day
to say that the donations so far have
reached $3,265.00, the most money
ever collected on this campaign.
These donations become part of the
’86 auction net profit and helped
make the 40th auction the best ever.
A slight play on words: ‘Access
makes the hart grow founder.” This
is a slogan written on a rather large
lapel button which I collected at the
American Library Association
Conference in New York City. It
refers to the Online Computer

nationwide.

State Capitol
roundup
By REP. FRANK COSLETT
Special to The Dallas Post
@ 4
Here is a summary of important
events that occurred on Capitol Hill
last week from Rep. Frank Coslett,
120th Legislative District.
PET STORE LICENSING -
Legislation which would require
state licensing of pet stores and
animal traders in Pennsylvania will
be introduced when the House
returns to session. Rep. Raymond
Bunyt Jr. (Re-Montgomery) said he
will propose the measure which is
intended to prevent anyone
ronvicted of cruelty to animals from
dealing with animals in a
comme cial operation. He sid the
legislation would be in the form of
an amendment to be added to a bill
now being drafted which addresses ‘0
cruelty to animals. Bunt said he will
call for public hearings on the bill.
EX-CHAMP TESTIFIES - Former
world heavyweight boxing
champion Larry Holmes appeared
in Harrisburg this week as an
athlete-member of a special House
commission studying boxing
reform. The Easton resident said
more oversight of boxing promoters
is needed and called for the
establishment of a board to assist d
boxers with difficulties ranging
from fight appeals to financial
problems. Holmes also suggested
allowing professional boxers the
option of wearing headgear in
shorter bouts. The commission will
hold at least one public hearing on
the issue.
