RUSSELL EYET “I also believe that if our bor- ough is to survive into the 21st century, we must strive to develop anew approach to solving its fiscal problems. I am of the opinion that this approach should be a gradual move toward a consolidation or a Council of Governments with our neighboring communities for the various services provided to tax- payers.” Eyet cited the relationship of , area police and road departments as examples of cooperation. “The police have been working cooperatively and it appears to be working fine.

DENMON Staff Writer Damien Kaye has returned to Harveys Lake as co-owner of the same restaurant at Sunset he operated in the early 1980's as Damien's On the Lake. This time the well-known res- tauranteur and his partner Ruth Eaton have purchased the former « Ter III and renamed it Damien's. The theme of Damien's will be “Casual Elegance,” with a dinner menu and all its items named after people diners will recognize as having an air of elegance. Damien's has been remodeled to include various dining areas such as the Beaches, the bar din- ing area with fine dining in a cas- ual atmosphere; Hustlers, a bil- liard room to take advantage of the increased resurgence of billiards; Casablanca, where there is fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere; the Sunset Room, for dancing, entertainment and banquets; the Veranda for dining overlooking the lake and outdoor cocktails, and the Grille for outdoor bar-b-ques. Damien, who grew up in the restaurant business, was in the Parkway on Sans Souci Parkway when he was 11 years ofage. At the age of 17 he ran the Blue Grotto in Nanticoke. He also worked as the chefat the Left Bank Restaurant at the Woodlands, and for Nick Pan- tages in Hazleton where he worked out of Shennanigans, one of Pan- tages five restaurants. Damien left the business for several years but he liked the lake so much he came back when he learned Pier III was for sale. Dam- ien prepares all of the food and he wants his diners to know thateach entree selection is accompanied by a relish tray, bread and whipped butter, soup du jour, dinnersalad, choice of potato and vegetable and coffee as always is on Damien. Most of his entrees are available in half portions and all entrees can be prepared sodium and choles- terol free. Damien does not cook with salt or MSG. Damien's includes five kinds of fresh fish daily plus other creative "LET'S RALLY!!! for DIANE KOPCHA KATLIC Candidate LUZERNE COUNTY JUDGE Thursday, May 9, 1991 The Farmer's Inn Huntsville Road, Trucksville 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Food and Beverages will be Served ADMISSION: $5.00 which gives a substantial savings over the normal bid process,” Eyet explained. “This has already formed a base for a Back Mountain road department which would benefit all involved communities with sig- nificant savings created by shar- ing supplies, manpower, storage and not having to duplicate equip- ment. “Consolidation of Back Moun- tain governing bodies is not a new idea,” said Eyet. “It has been dis- cussed at different times for years, and it is a means of alleviating the Borough's financial problems as well as a means of providing cost savings to Dallas and Kingston Township.” The candidate said she realizes that these ideas hinge on the will- ingness and cooperation of the neighboring communities. Shealso realizes that problems such as personnel placement, supervision, taxation and other items need to be resolved and decisions accepted by all those involved. “I realize that this is an under- taking that will not be resolved overnight butl feel the time to start is now. I would be honored to be on a team that spearheads such an endeavor,” she said. “I would also support our rec- reation program as one ofthe serv- ices the borough should continue to provide to its residents and their children. As a council member, I would strive to renewn the coun- cil's commitment to our children by finding the means to enhance its activities and its supervision budgets.” Eyet said she is concerned for the future of the borough and its lack of planning. “Thave watched with concern as Dallas Borough has operated on a year-to-year basis with little em- phasis on long range plans in the future. It is this concern that has prompted me to seek a seat on the Council. I would appreciate the taxpayers votes in the May 21 Pri- amry,” Eyet concluded. entrees. Chocolate cappucino ice cream shipped from Los Angeles will be served, making Damien's the only place east of Chicago who carries it, according to the owner. Damien and his partner Ruth Eaton are lovers of old movies, and fit some of their favorites into their theme of casual elegance. Ruth manages the dining room and is the charming hostess who greets diners. The menu is unique in that all items are named after famous stars such as James Mason's mushroom caps; Niven's Clams Royal Casino; Joe DiMaggio’s Hearts of Romaine; Scampi a la Cary Grant; veal a la Bogart; veal a la Grace Kelly and more. Diners familiar with Pier III will find it a different place from when they last were there, but they will find it well worth the time they spend now that it is Damien's. Entrees range from $8.95 to $17.95. EARTH DAY - Dallas Elementary School members of Mrs. Roeder's second grade class, above, | are making pine cone peanut butter and bird seed feeders that they will place along the stream behind the school as an Earth Day project. (Post Photo/Charlot M. Denmon) Earth Day (continued from page 1) along the stream. ~ “Theyrolled the cones in peanut butter, then in pans of bird seed until they were heavily coated,” Lloyd explained. “The third, fourth, and fifth grade students made bird feeders from half pint orange juice cartons they recycled from parties, putting a round hole in the front of the carton, filling it with bird seed and stringing the top so the carton could be hung from a tree,” said Lloyd. The Pennsylvania Game Com- - mission gave out pine seedlings which the children planted and also four blue bird houses. Lucy Callahan's kindergarten class traced their hands on construc- tion paper and inside the tracing printed pledges to save the earth. Before doing any of the projects, each class pledged to adopt a class project. The most popular were “Adopt the Stream”, “Weekly Play- ground Cleanup”, “Adopt a Tree", and “Water Pollution Experiment”. Other projects are blue bird observation, bird feeder cleanup, tree identification, weather obser- vation, and many more. “The projects were selected so they would be easy for the children as well as informative about the environment. Most of the students seemed to enjoy the program,” Lloyd explained. Sherwood (continued from page 1) Sherwood said on average she has had at least one student make States every year and one year she had four. “We always have a Christmas Concert and up until two or three years ago, we had the Spring Concert the first Thursday and Friday in May. Now we have only one in May, the ‘Broadway-Dallas Style,’ this year which will be this Friday, May 3, at the senior high school. “The first half of the concert is more formal and educational with music from the early classics but the second half include the songs the students like such as songs from Broadway plays, pop songs, folk songs, spirituals and a variety of numbers,” Sherwood explained. The choristers do so many per- formances that Sherwood was unable to say how many they aver- aged yearly. : “It's a lot of work but we have fun as well,” she said. “Performing for the public also gives the stu- dents self-esteem, confidence and poise.

But for Friday night's concert, they are wearing multi-colored pants and shirts with their names on the shirts. A graduate of Kingston High School, Sherwood received her degree in music from College Mis- ericordia, her associate degree from London College in England and her Master's degree from Scranton University. She and her husband, Robert, have resided in Chase since they were married in 1950. Their daugh- ter, Denise, is a librarian in the Northwest School District and their son, Scott, is self-employed in elec- trical business. In earlier years, Florence was director of the choir at the Shaver- town United Methodist Church. She also used to entertain on the ma- rimba in school and on other occa- sions and taught private marimba and piano lessons. This year she plays the keyboards for the dis- trict's Jazz Band. Until her children were grown, Florence was active in Girl’'Scouts and Boy Scouts and is also certified by the American Red Cross as a swimming instructor. “With the exception of my family, my first love is music and my stu- dents who are so involved in the programs and the theory. am going to miss them so much in the year ahead. I hope they will continue in the chorus and in the specialty groups,” Mrs. Sherwood said.’ “As 1 direct the group Friday night I will be wondering, ‘Will this be my last time to direct my stu- dents?’ It gives me a sad feeling,” she said. é : ™ Less is More WHY SETTLE FOR 10 months when a full year of The Dallas Post costs only $16.00?
