8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 11, 1996 New school (continued from page 1) Sims stated that room for addi- tions would be put into the main plan once designing commenced. The public also shared their opinions. Ellen Smith of Shaver- town commended the board for their discussion and inquiry con- cerning the sites. Andrea Balavage, Kingston Twp., was curious about the im- pact of all three schools on the main campus considering the Back Mountain is a growing commu- nity. “I don’t want to see us con- fined to the main campus if we're not going to be able to hold all the kids,” she said. The final decision will be made next week. In other business, Dr. Gilbert Griffiths, assistant superintendent reported that the results of the PA Assessment test were within the national average except for sixth grade writing, which scored 1260 out of the average band which is between 1280 and 1350. “We've done well as compared with simi- lar schools with similar demo- graphics,” said Griffiths. He also said that measures were being taken to strengthen the sixth grade’s writing skills. “We are instilling more writing into the new curriculum. This will include building critical thinking skills,” he said. Also, Maureen Banks, board member, asked if in light of the recent cancellation of parent/ teacher conferences at the high school, school officials would make it known to parents that they can call teachers and possibly set up evening appointments.’ Griffiths said he would look into the idea.

Dancers (continued from page 1) POST PHOTO/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Edward and Arlene Crafts are one of several Back Mountain couples who practice the art of ballroom dancing. Her husband Edward, General Manager of Mid-States Lumber, says, “At one time I wouldn't have given you two cents a dance. But then I married Arlene, and to please her I started going to the dances, even taking lessons, and now I really enjoy it. It's a great evening out with congenial people sharing a common interest.” USABDA members get together once a month for a dinner dance with live music, usually at the Mayfair Supper Club on Rt. 315. Members say the floor there is great (“wood, not tile!”) and the food, not the main incentive, but nevertheless “pretty good.” The next bash is December 14 and will honor Paul Lannack, long- time and well-known dance teacher who founded and ran the “Imperial Society of Dining and Dancing” on Penn Avenue in Scranton for over 40 years. Chap- ter Historian Eleanor Barone, who has been dancing for 67 years says, “We've got attendees from college age to super-seniors, like the man who is 97 and still at it.” The present chapter was started Firehouse about four years ago by Joan Phillips of Overbrook Avenue. She sent her dues to get a dance maga- zine and the association's national president called and asked her to startalocal branch. She did, with 30 members and they've been growing steadily ever since. Both Shavers of Harveys Lake are enthusiastic chapter regulars. Joey, in sales for WARM, says, “This is something we both enjoy doing together. Besides, it defi- nitely is great exercise.” Wife Judi prefers swing dancing and says, “He likes to tango so we compro- mise doing the mambo!” Dance studios show up all over but not all are teaching the kinds of dances association members practice. One of the area’s most famous teacher-dancers, Bob Niznik, thinks this will change soon. “Ballroom dancing is defi- nitely coming back,” he says. “And it should. I'd like to-be part of it but just retired. My legs gave up after too many years of dancing.” Niznik explains ballroom danc- ing as “structured and beautiful to watch. Nice to know and fun to do. It is not difficult to learn and if you work hard at it anyone can become good. It all depends on the time you spend on it. It is also excellent exercise. Just make sure you have a good teacher.” He adds, “When I taught in colleges and at Boscov's years ago, ballroom courses were always the first ones filled. It deserves reju- venation and it is going to get it.” Coincidence or not, the Castle Inn on Memorial Highway ‘has started featuring “Frank and Judy” on Friday and Saturday nights. Frank plays association tempos and Judy provides the vocals. The Shavers have tried their new policy and almost hope itdoesn't catch on, forJudi Shaver said, “With only three other couples, we almost had the floor to ourselves. It was heaven!” If your feet feel the urge and you want more info...like how-to join USABDA, date and time of next dinner-dance, etc.-call Arlene Crafts at 675-8553 or Barry Juda at 725-7182, Let's dance! (continued from page 1) years since the first one was built. The whole area is growing and we're just reflecting that growth,” he said. The building on Main St. cur- rently only has one garage for three pieces of equipment. In its new home, there will be six ga- rage bays for easy access. Main Street's growing traffic problem is affecting the depart- ment. “Getting off of Main St. with it’s severe traffic problem is quite a difficult task,” “The new facility helps us to improve emergency service for the people.” Brett Slocum Dallas Fire & Ambulance said Slocum. “Also, there is not enough avail- able parking near the station.” The area tor the approximately 6,000 to 7,000 square foot build- ing is at an intersection with con- siderably less traffic. It also will be able to adequately house meeting and training rooms. “The new facility helps us to improve emer- gency service for the people,” said Slocum, who is looking forward to the next decade. The fire department is 10006 volunteer run and is always look- ing for new volunteers. DURING OUR YEAR-END TAX DISPOSAL CLOSE-OUT!
