Case After an exceptionally mild win- ter, many of us are expecting an early spring this year. But, how will we know when it is spring? My bulbs are already poking through the snow. Alarge flock of geese flew north over Shavertown last week. The skunk cabbage is already in bloom (but maybe that "is not so unusual for February). Two mourning doves are scratch- ing for seeds under my bird feed- ers, and the crazy starlings are already building their annual nest in our neighbors’shed. Isit spring yet? I, for one, am not yet ready to say it is spring - not until I hear the spring peepers. In the eastern half of North America, these tiny (no larger than a quarter) tree frogs herald the change of sea- sons as they call for mates. They congregate around ponds, marshes, bogs, temporary pools, drainage ditches and other wet places as soon as they emerge from their woodland hiding places after the winter. Spring peepers are one of very few animals that can actually be frozen solid and live to tell about it. They do not contain the natural antifreeze that many other frogs and toads use. Instead their cells are made so that they do not burst when fro- zen. Nowonder they singin spring! Soon after the spring peepers begin their nightly choruses, other frogs and toads join in. The exact order and number will vary de- pending on the location. But, itis rare indeed to find a place that has only one kind of frog. Many ponds are home to half a dozen. In fact, that is one of the main ONLY YESTERDAY 60 Years Ago - Mar. 11, 1938 FIRST STEP TAKEN TO REPLACE TROLLEY CARS Wilkes-Barre Railway Corp. has filed an application with the Penn- sylvania Utility Commission re- questing permission to abandon its street car service between Wilkes-Barre and Dallas. At the same time an affiliated company Wyoming Valley Autobus Corp., has asked for a Certificate of Pub- * lic Conveyance to establish bus lines in place of trolleys. Dallas Borough Council met to discuss the proposed change. More than 25 property owners of Dallas Township which has no full-time police officer, petitioned the court this week to authorize the appointment of a policeman in the Township. A series of thefts in recent months motivated the request. 50 Years Ago - Mar. 12, 1948 HARVEYS LAKE SPONSORS FIRST FOX TROT Open warfare has been declared on bre'’r fox. More than 100 hunts- men are expected to gather Sun- day morning at Herman Kern's Restaurant, Harveys Lake for the first fox hunt sponsored by Harveys Lake Camp 274, United Sportsmen. Any licensed hunter Library news ~ | NEI IAS Td EL The Board of Directors of the Back Mountain Memorial Library held its annual meeting Feb. 3. Officers for 1998 were elected as follows: President, John Gager; Vice President, Kerry Freeman; Secretary, Pauline. Kutz; Trea- surer, Joseph Mazzoni. Other members of the board include Craig Aicher, Ernest Ashbridge, Charlotte Bartizek, Karen Boback, David Duncan, Joseph Dwinchick, Shirley Forney, Jean Hillard, Charles Kishbaugh, Barbara Lemmond, Benedicta Matchett, Bruce Spring peepers and their kin reasons for the singing. You see, even frogs might have trouble lo- cating one of their own kind at night. But, two things help them prevent hybridization with other species. {1)They emerge at differ- ent times in the spring. And , (2) they have different calls which are recognized by females of the same species. Frogs and other amphibians . may be telling us things even more important than the coming of spring. Two years ago the red- legged frog was listed under the Endangered Species Act. This is the frog immortalized by Mark Twain in his story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County.” This very large frog (five inches or more in length) was once so common along the west coast that 80,000 of them were supplied to restaurants each year for frog's legs. Around the turn of the twentieth century, their num- bers had declined so much that bullfrogs were introduced to take up the slack. Unfortunately, bull- frogs eat the eggs of thered-legged frog. And now, bullfrogs are the main participants in the annual Calavaras County (CA) frog jump- ing contest. There are apparently other rea- sons for the decline in red-legged frog numbers. They need natural cover along streambanks for breeding habitat. Many Califor- nia streams ' have been channelized. They also require clean water for their eggs and tadpoles. According to Roger Featherstone, “Protecting the red- legged frog means more than pro- tecting our culture and heritage, protecting the frog is expected to help save coastal California’s de- clining fisheries, which depend on fish breeding in the same healthy stream habitats that the frog requires.” The story of the red-legged frog is only one in a long list of stories being told by the worldwide de- cline of amphibians. Other sto- ries are not so easily understood. may take part and those having fox hounds are invited to bring . them along. More than 200 Trucksville fami- lies were without water and 500 school children were dismissed before noon because of failure ofa motor in the pump at Trucksville Water Company's #2 near Carverton Road. Employees of the company installed a new mo- tor and started service shortly, but not before 300 students in the High School and 187 in the grade school had left their classes. Thirty pupils were also dismissed at Shavertown Grade Building so that the bus drivers would not have to make two trips. 40 Years Ago - Mar. 7, 1958 MONROE TOWNSHIP SEEKS SCHOOL DISTRICT Next Thursday, 50 members of Tunkhannock Joint School Board will meet to ponder admission of Monroe Township to the jointure which already comprises 10 school districts. Monroe Township would make the 11th with five more board members to join 50 now in session. Directors and residents realize taxes will rise while the financial picture would not change for the other 10 districts. Monroe withdrew from Dallas Area Joint Schools to take effect July 1, 1958. The four remaining school dis- tricts Dallas Township, Dallas Borough, Kingston Township and Franklin Township, voted a Union School District in November. Frank Bialogowicz rolled a 269 last week for the men’s weekly high at Crown Imperial Bowl and Ciel Karnoski posted the highest game bowled by the ladies with her 221. There is the alarming occurrence of deformed frogs in Minnesota first documented by a class on a field trip. As one of the students. testified before a Minnesota House: committee, “When somebody caught a frog without one leg, I ~ thought, ‘Houston, we have a prob- lem.” Malformed amphibians have been reported in at least 35 states since 1986. Some have missing. legs or eyes, deformed limbs, or too many limbs. The reason for this is still not clear. There is growing suspicion that it may have some relation to the exposure of the eggs or tadpoles to pesticides or herbicides. All amphibians breathe through their skin and therefore are quite vulnerable to any chemicals in the environment. But, there are declines in popu- lations of frogs which live in quite pristine areas of North America. Another suspected reason for frog population declines is the in- creased level of ultraviolet (UV): radiation to which the eggs and | young are exposed. The same thin- ning of the ozone layer that is responsible for the increases in skin cancer among humans may well account for much of the alarming decrease in numbers of frogs and toads all over the world. There are two things about which all the researchers agree. First, frogs and toads can tell us much about the health of our own environment. And, second, we need more information. Long- term studies are now being con- ducted in the USA and Canada “and in many other regions of the world. You are being asked to help. If you see unusual deformi- ties in amphibians of any kind," make careful notes and report your findings to the scientists at. 1-800-238-9801 or the website. (no pun intended!) http:// www.npsc.nbs.gov/narcam. It is rather scary that unknown factors are contributing to the. decline of our native frogs and toads. Let's hope we can avert a second brush with “Silent Spring.” 30 Years Ago - Mar. 14, 1968 FRANK KOHL TAKES ON SEWAGE IN THE LAKE The petition accepted at the May 9, 1967 meeting of Dallas Borough Council from residents of High Point Acres asking annex- ation to the Borough was dis-. cussed at the regular meeting of | Council Tuesday evening. Ac- cording to Atty. Robert Fleming, . solicitor for the council, a new survey of the area has been made. A committee met in closed ses- sion after the public meeting to discuss the results and to make" further plans. Frank Kohl, Harveys Lake, will : start making inspection of sew- age facilities in the newly formed Harveys Lake Borough as soon as the ice breaks, using a’ dye to pinpoint places where raw sew- age is entering waters of the lake. Boat houses, homes, taverns, be- tween the encircling Lake road will come under close scrutiny and testing. Kohl states, will be carried out with strict impartial- ity. 20 Years Ago - Mar. 9, 1978. - LAKE TWP. PENSION MONEY GIVEN TO HARVEYS LAKE An agreement may be reached in the near future concerning re- imbursement of police pension - fund money to Lake Township’ which was inadvertently trans- ferred to Harveys Lake Borough. Atty. John Thomas informed Lake Township solicitor James Anzalone that Harveys Lake would be willing to return the $5,847.33 to Lake Township, but would not pay any interest on the money.
