The original plans for the center called for a joint operation with the its main facility in Wilkes-Barre and will not be a partner in a Back Mountain location. That doesn't necessarily mean fitness equipment and a swim- ming pool are out of the picture, though. While making no commit- ments, Ledwin said ifenough inter- est in those facilities exists, they may become part of the plan. “We are not in the recreation business,” Ledwin said. “Our hope is that a group of people interested in recreation come forward.” If that happens, “We're prepared to work with them to develop recreation facilities.” As for a’swimming pool, Ledwin said he would wait and see how a pool that is to be built at College Misericordia will be used. Ledwin said he has talked with both the Dallas and Lake-Lehman school districts about the potential of using a pool for swimming and diving programs in the schools. Ledwin praised the action of Dallas school board members and administration personnel. “It was a real pleasure to deal with them,” he said. “They were focused on what was best for the entire Back Mountain community.” He also said that he hoped upcoming meetings with Dallas Township officials would go well. “I hope to sit down with them in the next day or two to brief them. They seem to be supportive.” At its meeting, the school board also honored Dallas graduate Steve Oliver with a plaque citing his achievement in the1991 Field and Track State Competition where he won the 3200 meter run and a gold medal. Oliver is the first athlete from the Dallas District to win two gold medals in the period of one year, his other gold medal was won in cross country.
