ry Library news BY NANCY KOZEMCHAK The Back Mountain Memorial Library has a very good group of volunteers; men, women and youth, who do an outstanding service for their library. These volunteers per- form many of the tasks that keep the library running smoothly. They alphabetize book cards from the previous days circulation, slip the returned books with their cards, and shelve the books in the reading room stacks after they are returned. One of our faithful volun- teers is Noel Thomas of Dallas, who is a retired man and, after his wife died, he decided he needed something to keep him busy and make him feel needed. He pre- ferred not to work in a hospital near sick people and had done ounting in his life’s work, so he" is cided to see if the library could use his services. Winter, without golf, gave him some free time, so he came to us and we appreciate his time and his talent. He has been with us now for two years, usually ‘spending 3 hours, 3 days a week and he likes the diversified work he does; such as pulling cards from withdrawn books and filing new catalog cards (which is not his favorite job); and checking - donated books by researching our files and then agding them to our inventory. What {¥7 likes most is the fact that his time is his own. A special super volunteer person, Mr. Noel Thomas. : : We have lost a very fine student page in the library, Pamela Ash, who has been working for us since March of 1987. Pam worked at the library after school, evenings and Saturdays doing many of the regu- lar library operating chores. Most of ‘our pages call me Mrs. K and I received a lovely surprise gift from Pam recently in the form of a wooden plaque cut out with geese on a circular form featuring in large letters, ‘MRS.K’. This was a very special gift from Pam and it #5 on the file cabinet in my office area. Some of the staff had a party for Pam last week here at the library which was enjoyed by all. She is moving on to another form of employment, as she is graduat- ing from Dallas this year. Thanks, Pam, for making our days at the library brighter with your presence and good luck in your future. We consider ourselves and our patrons very fortunate to again have a water fountain in the rary. Our original fountain ran ¥'0 difficulty and was removed from use and we have been without one for some time now. This last rash of hot weather has given the “ter fountain a’ lot of attention “nd everyone is happy and cooler. The children just love it. The Odds and Ends committee of the auction will’ welcome any good saleable items for the booth and has allowed us to borrow some nice, clean stuffed toys for display in our office area. These will be dvailable for sale at the Odds and Ends booth during the auction.

Grads... (continued from page 1) itsky told friends, relatives and the graduates that it was now time to face responsibility and to accept their duties in the world. “Are we ready to leave and move from inside the walls of school to another world, whether it be higher education, military life or work? We feel no different but we know whether we are making the right choice but we will find out,” Novit- sky said. He said he appreciated the time and effort given him by his teach- ers and ‘thanked his parents for being there at his side when he needed them. Valedictorian Holly Pitcavage told the graduates that commence- ment was the turning point in their lives. “‘Joyfully but sorrowfully we leave school and our friends. We have gone through the past and present which helped shape our future now facing us. We don’t know what it holds but we have established goals and it is impor- tant now how we reach our goals,” Holly said. “Each of us has established our own goals and can look back at the fond memories of the past to appre- ciate the present. We have learned how to get along with others and make decisions. Our parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, teachers and others have taught us - to think, learn, communicate and have fun. Now the past and present will help determine our future,” Holly repeated. “Be proud of being there and also proud of how you got there.” Following a selection by the chorus, Galicki presented the Class of 1988 to Dallas School Board President Thomas Landon for the awarding of diplomas. Graduates and audience joined in singing the Alma Mater followed by the benediction delivered by Rev. James Wert. As if on signal, a shower of blue mortar boards sailed into the air mingling with a barrage of royal blue and Columbia blue helium filled balloons that floated upwards into the sky; some continuing upwards while others caught on tree branches or floated into the bleachers where they were grabbed by friends and relatives, a reminder of the graduates leaving the field to step across the thresh- old into their future.

The meeting will be held at Dallas Senior High School. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the establishment of a regional water commission. Repre- sentatives of the Department of Environmental Resources (DER), Public Utilities Commission (PUC), Senator Lemmond, Representative Deitrick, and members of the Kingston Township Water Commis- sion are expected to attend. The meeting is meant to be a forum for working toward solutions to the community water problem. A base of information is sought in order to find ways to approach the problem; some potential items for discussion include the existing water supply, how many wells and water companies actually exist, and the effect of Back Mountain development on the water crisis. The current water problem is not exclusive to specific Back Mountain developments. It could affect other communities as well in the future. A vehicle has already been estab- lished for action on this issue in DAMA (Dallas Area Municipal Authority) which is legislated to act as a Water and Sewer Author- ity. ; Budget... (continued from page 1) voted against the motion because the two-year retirement agreement effective at the end of 1989-1990 contained increases in salary with which he didn’t agree. Board member Liz Sichler told Emery that if he read the contract he would understand that the second year increase would be effective only if Zaleskas was rated satisfactory by the administration. The Board also approved the waiver of Donna Post’s obligation to return to school service upon the expiration of her sabbatical leave, “contingent upon the receipt of Ms. Post’s letter of resignation effective June 30, 1988, and the satisfactory settlement of all obligations, finan- cial or otherwise, between both parties by the above date. The Board approved a resolution of appreciation to the Lake-Lehman Band for its outstanding perform- ances at Sherburne and at Myrtle Beach. : The band was named Grand Cham- pion of the FiestaVal at Myrtle Beach, received the overall cham- pionships in jazz, parade and field show and were awarded a total of 12 trophies and four plaques, including 11 first place trophies, one second place, two superior plaques and two excellent plaques. In Sherburne, N. Y., the band placed first in field show, first in concert, first place for their drum major and won the Director’s Award, given each year for the outstanding director of the pageant. In concert competition, the band scored 97 out of a possible 100 points. Fri. & Sat. 10-5 Alice Piczon, Ltd.
