The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 28, 1990 5 Library news Open house Monday will mark five years in new building By NANCY KOZEMCHAK The Back Mountain Memorial Library will celebrate five years of community involvement from our new building on Sunday, March 4. To commemorate the occasion, the staff is welcoming library patrons and members of the community to the library between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 in the evening of Monday, March 5. We feel we have come a long way in five years and are proud of our building and the service it can provide and happy to have many patrons who feel the same way. We invite all of our friends of the li- brary to vist and explore our facili- ties and take part in some light refreshments. : This will also be an opportunity for everyone to meet our new li- brarian, Mary Ellen Tirpak of Exeter, who began her duties with us on February 17. i We are displaying on top of our display case in the office area, an unusual “Recycled” Dinosaur cre- ated by the four year old classes at Trucksville Nursery School. Evi- dently, these children had a great time putting this dinosaur together with items that would have been put in the trash. Included in the make up are; cardboard oatmeal boxes, empty spools from thread, pieces of sty- rofoam, pineapple juice contain- ers, yarn pieces, aluminum milk bottle caps, potato chip can, fluffy package fillers, and bottle caps. All of these put together to look like a dinosaur certainly make a colorful dinosaur display to look at and enjoy. The teachers of these children: Gina Sabol, Pat Baird, Sharon Cosgrove and Morag Michael, in- vite the public to view this wonder- ful work of art, at the library. This project was part of the February Focus at the nursery school. They also learned about pollution and endangered species. As a result of this dinosaur project the children will hopefully develop a greater awareness of the envi- ronment around them and the impact that each of us as individu- als can have. We have added to the display a book from our children’s room titled, “Recyclopedia” by Robin Simons which features games, science equipment, and crafts from recycled materials. The book was developed at the Boston Children’s Museum. Last Monday, during Boy Scout Week, Cub Scouts and Webelo Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 155, sponsored by Trucksville Method- ist Church visited the library for a tour and a quiet story time in the children’s room. They learned the fundamentals for joining the li- brary and how to use it. They arrived with pencils and paper in hand to study for their communications badge, which involves codes and ciphers. Mrs. Alice Newell is the leader of this Webelos Den 4 and we were happy to welcome them to the library. Cookies (continued from page 1) March 10 - Schuylkill Mall, Frackville; Fairlane Ville Mall, Pottsville; West Side Mall, Ed- wardsville; Boscov's basement, Wilkes-Barre, 1st floor Wilkes- Barre.

The Penn’s Woods Girl Scouts need the community's help! Their cookie sale did not meet its goal this year but to-date is 56,424 boxes short of its goal or about $70,000 less than is needed for the 1990 budget. The cookie sale each year is = expected to provide 65 percent of the local Girl Scout Council's budget and when the sale falls short of its goal it puts all kinds of the scout activities in jeopardy. Proceeds from the cookies sup- port the girls camping program by maintaining the camp and by subsidizing the cost to the individ-- ual camper. Camping costs foreach Girl Scout would be much higher without the money provided through the cookie sale. Activities like the council-wide event planned for Bloomsburg in June are paid for by the cookie sales profits. The girls pay only the direct costs of food or materials they use at programs they attend. The Girl Scouts receive no fed- eral funding but are supported only by the cookie sale and the candy sale in the Fall plus the allocations received from the United Way organizations within the council's jurisdiction. Although the amount of money turned in to date by the Girl Scouts appears to be more than the past years, it is because the cost of a box of cookies increased this year from $2.00 to $2.50. But the cost to the council also increased, so revenues are not as high as they seem. There are seven varieties of cookies this year and all are made of vegetable oil and all are kosher. The cookies contain no preserva- tives and no artificial colors. This year is the first in five years that the price of the cookies in- creased. In 1988, Neighborhood 24 which covers Dallas, Lehman, Harveys Lake, Sweet Valley and Noxen, girls sold 23,618 boxes; in 1989, they sold 26,225 boxes but this year, they sold only 22,140 boxes. In Neighborhood 25 which covers, Shavertown, Trucksville, Carver- ton and Orange, girls sold 10,263 in 1988; 11,362 in 1989; and only 10,104 this year. Despite having two more Back Mountain troops selling this year, 5,000 fewer boxes have been sold. Game officer: Let sleeping deer lie From the Pennsyvania Game Commission's ‘Game Notes.” Luzerne County: Deputy Steve Dunham and I were investigating a violation concerning individuals that shot at deer from a vehicle. We arrived at the scene and proceeded to search for any wounded or dead deer. We found where two deer had been lying in the snow, close to the road and we believed these were the deer the individuals had shot at. : “w We followed a fresh trail a good distance but could find no evi- dence that the deer were wounded. We started back to the vehicle when I spotted a deer lying in the snow, I remarked to Steve, “they had not missed afterall”. As we approached the animal, Steve and I noticed that it was still alive, its head was lying back on its side. Iapproached and stood over the deer, Steve stood a few feet to its rear. As I leaned over I could see that its eyes were closed, but its jaw was moving slightly as if it was chewing. I remarked to Steve that I could not see a wound or blood anywhere. At that point I thought if I could roll the deer on its side we could see where it was wounded. I grabbed the deer by the ears to roll it over when it exploded into ac- tion, kicking with all four feet and thrashing about wildly. I screamed at Steve to grab it but he just stood there in disbelief. I released the animal or it released me, which- ever way you want to look at it. The deer went about 20 yards and looked back as if to say “what's the matter with you” and then it bounded off. The excitement lasted only a second or two, but both my hands and wrists were scraped from the flailing hooves. The moral of this story is to let sleeping deer lie. That's right, the deer was sound asleep. WCO Donald R. Burchell, Dal- las.

The township supervisors had sent letters to government officials requesting their help in obtaining more funds to fight what some experts are predicting to be “the worst, most destructive years for the area by Gypsy Moths.” PES HI ASP EOI TLL YEOH EH EH Gren PHRERHE ox Bp A State Representative Scott Di- etterick, R-Kingston, sent a re- sponse letter to the township super- visors assuring them state funds will be available for spraying. Stat- ing he had discussed the matter with the State Budget Office, Di- etterick said, “More funds would be available for the spraying of Gypsy Moths, as the budget al- lows.” Dietterick told the township through the letter that he would do “everything in my power to get more funds.” Misericordia's Alumni plan sping reunion Members of College Misericordia’s Spring Reunion Committee have begun to make plans for the reunion weekend on June 1, 2 and 3.
