This year’s show, "A Musical Tour of American Cities,” includes @such familiar tunes as “Chatta- ‘nooga Choo-Choo,"” “Viva, Las Ve- gas” “Hooray for Hollywood,” and several others before winding up back home with the theme from television's “Dallas.” According to band director Todd L. Hunter, “The show is in a similar vein to last year, in that there is a lot of big-band type music, which works very well for hat we wanted to do.” | Over the summer, the band held once a week rehearsals to band ready for new season » become familiar with the feel of the music, as well as a “mini- band camp” at the end of July, where they started work on the drill design for the show. Then, on August 12, they began the grueling all day workout that is band camp. “I'm very pleased with the progress that we've made. We've had some former members come up and help out, and they've been great,” said Hunter. The first scheduled perfor- mance for the band is on August 31, at Dallas's first football game. In addition to their regular perfor- mance schedule, they will also be featured in the Hazleton Fun Fest Parade on September 8. From there the band will con- tinue to work on the field show in order to prepare for the upcoming competition season. “We still have a lot of work ahead,” said Hunter.

Post Staff BACK MOUNTAIN - The Back Mountain Citizen's Council has disbanded - not for lack of mem- bership, but because it accom- plished what it set out to. Organized in 1988, the Citi- zens’ Council was instrumental in forming the Back Mountain Business and Professional Asso- ciation and the Back Mountain Regional Land Trust and has held seminars on a variety of subjects. “We tried to be the facilitator for study of a regional govern- ment to replace the area's indi- vidual municipal governments,” said first president Nancy Eckert. “Although it didn't happen, we exposed the public to the idea, from which came a study to con- solidate our police forces, funded by a state grant.” Helping to make the informa- tion on police consolidation avail- able to local governments was See COUNCIL, pg 8 Businesses help fund anti-drug program By GRACE R.

Luzerne County Commission for Women (LCCW) members Margie Bryant, Florence Harry and Iran Fahmy represent the area on a 20 member board dedicated to advocating for the rights of women and children in all areas of life. “Most issues — affordable and decent housing, health care, schools and fair wages — affecting women also affect children,” said Florence Harry. “We're a cross- section of women throughout the county.
