8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 23, 1998 Hall of Fame — (continued from page 1) “When I went out for sports my grades got better. Physically sports benefited me. They taught me to develop a team approach that I have to this day. Being in sports helped me torelate to other people,” said Anzalone, who has * been Sem'’s school physician since 1982. He initiated the school’s middle- school football program in 1993, providing financial an coaching support for the program. Sandra Laidler, now Laidler- Valenti, graduated in 1961 as the MVP on both the field hockey and basketball teams. She lettered for varsity field hockey three years in a row and lettered twice in bas- ketball. She was the basketball captain her senior year. “I'm totally shocked, but very honored,” said Laidler-Valenti. “I thought going to Sem was won- derful. I was involved in sports after school and had a great time. I have very good memories of that school.” After graduation, Laidler- Valenti went to Bouve Boston College (now Tufts University) and East Stroudsburg College. She served as Sem'’s field hockey and swim team coach from 1967-1971. She has been a health education teacher in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District since 1971. Although she did not play sports in college, she currently enjoys the sport of golf with her hus- band, Clatk. She has been the Women's Club Champion at Irem Temple Country Club six times. Currently, she a member at Huntsville Golf Club. Dr. A. Anthony Anzalone keeps this composite of photos from his playing days at Wyoming Seminary. Like Anzalone, Laidler-Valenti believes sports helps teach stu- dents discipline. “Ibecame a team player. Sports kept me away from things like smoking,” she ex- plained. “I think there is a good correla- ‘tion between sports and grades. If you wanted to play sports you had to have good grades.” Valenti looks forward to the in- duction ceremony. Jack Meeks, The Varsity Club president, said, “These two are outstanding individuals. The Hall of Fame represents the continua- tion of a great sports tradition,” said Meeks. Police (continued from page 1) voted unanimously to hire Charles Musial as a part-time police of- ficer at a salary of $10.25 /hour. An attempt by council member William Wilson for a motion to review additional applicants failed, and the council hired Musial, a full-time roads employee, for the part-time slot. Musial will con- tinue working for the roads de- partment. : In other business, Council awarded the garbage and recyclables contract to J. P. Mascaro and Sons for $267,233 for three years. Based on this fee, Council predicts that garbage rates will stay the same. Only two bids were received; the other was for $306,000. Lombardo Truck- ing received the bid for removal of the old property at Pole 307; op- posite the telephone company building. In addition * Council passed Act 537, a plan to begin developing a com- prehensive sewage facilities man- agement project. e Jason Wilson, the son of Coun- cil member William Wilson, was hired as a part-time roads em- ployee at the salary of $6.25/ hour. Councilman Wilson ab- stained from the vote; Council- man Francis Kopko voted against the hiring. e Council also passed a motion to advertise for a full-time roads employee.

Laidler- Rec Park (continued from page 1) municipalities and appropriate or- ganizations are eligible for Rails- to-Trails and Rivers Conservation. DCNR provides grant funding up to 50 percent of eligible costs except for Small Communities/ Small Projects, which falls under the first type of grant. The state will pay 100 percent for approved material costs and professional design fees for those projects. Small Communities/Small Projects is for municipalities with a population of 5,000 or less. Grants are limited to a maximum of $20,000. The funds have been available since 1995. Each autumn the window opens. The application process takes 12 to 18 months to complete. Michele Breslin, DCNRregional recreation and park advisor, said she receives 30 to 35 applications a year for her 15 county region. Breslin has talked with Griffiths and BMRAC about the grants. “The communities are working together in providing recreational opportunities. Now they are try- ing to hammer out some things to make it a regional eiforiy” ex- plained Breslin. Jeff Box, Kingston Township manager, said the township has used the grants in the past, but has been preoccupied with build- ing projects in recent years. “We haven't discussed the grants in any detail, but we are always looking out for improve- ments. It's definitely worth look- ing into,” said Box. Kingston Township has writ- ten a letter of support for al re- gional recreation facility. “The concept of a regional recreational center is excellent,” Box said. The township would not rule out sup- porting the project financially, he said, but would need more infor- mation. Lehman Township supervisors are behind the project. “We were one of the first municipalities to show our support,” said Dave Sutton, supervisor, who is on the BMRAC board. “We'd love nothing more than to have a recreation center in the community,” Sutton said. “Leh- man Township would have a hard time getting a grant, but the more municipalities, the better the chance.” In Tioga County, five munici- palities created the Northern Tier Recreation Authority. The com- bined population is 3,746 people. “They combined their resources and turned an old school building into a recreation facility,” said Breslin. “There are not many combined recreation authorities. Yet, more and more municipalities are de- veloping partnerships with one another and are learning to coop- erate to accomplish these goals,” she said. Other municipalities, like Ashley Borough in Luzerne County, have received grants, Ashley Borough has a population of 3,124 and received a Small Communities grant for park im- provements and athletic fields.

Phyllis Mundy, state vepioverts: : tative, wants the community to’- know she is behind this grant program and will help anyone in- terested in it. “It's a window of opportunity with these grants. I've sent notices to all municipalities. The window will close until there enough money is accumulated to open it again,” explained Mundy. “These grants are important because local municipalities and non-profit organizations simply do not have the resources or ac- cess. I doubt there would be a lot of recreational facilities ongoing without state assistance.” SEPT. 26& 27 1T05 PM Scarecrow Decorating *Planting Seminars GIFTS FUN PRIZES REFRESHMENTS | EVENTS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!
