From 1964 to 1985, Templin taught math and sci- ences — mostly physics — before becoming Supervisor of Curriculum until his retirement "in 1992. Gil Griffiths, who followed Templin into that job, said Templin was a tireless worker for the district’s students, no matter what their interests. “He worked hard to establish the Title 1 elementary reading program,” Griffiths said, as well as laying the foundation for a progressive math curricu- lum. Kathy Wega, who is in her final year teaching at Dallas, said Templin also was an effec- tive coach with the football and track teams, and started a pho- tography club, setting up a dark room and teaching kids to develop film. “Fred really cared about his job and about the school dis- Robert Marr was a math teacher who retired the same year as Templin. He and his col- league shared many interests outside the classroom, includ- ing antique automobiles. Templin had a Model T Ford that was handed down through his wife’s family. “He used to put it in shows.” “He liked to repair things,” Marr said, and enjoyed doing plumbing and carpentry work around his home. An outdoors- man, after retirement, “he would ride four-wheelers” at Red Rock. Templin also was active in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, with the George M. Dallas Lodge 531 F&AM and other organizations. But mostly, Templin is remembered for his commit- ment to teaching. “He gave him- self to his students. He was of the old school, we were there for the students.” Those feelings were shared by Dallas students, who dedi- cated the 1985 yearbook to him when he left the classroom to The 1985 Dallas High School yearbook was dedicated to Fred Templin. That year, he became Supervisor of Curriculum. Dedication Fred Templin has unselfishly served the Dallas School District for the past twenty years. After teaching both physics and chemistry, he is mov- ing into the position of Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction. His knowledge of preparation for college and course sequence will surely serve all of the students with his new challenge. Because of his concern and devotion for his students and the Dallas Senior High School, the Class of 1985 wishes to dedicate this publication to this fine trict,” Wega said. move into administration. person, Mr. Fred M.

In other business: e Lehman Fire and Ambulance has received a $225,000 grant through the Department of Homeland Security to purchase a tanker pumper, according to Dennis Dobinick, the assistant fire chief. The fire department will need to come up with an addi- tional $25,000 to match the grant and fund raising efforts are underway. “The important thing to stress is that Lehman and Lake townships would never be able to purchase such a vehicle on their own. We are very fortunate because 8,000 fire departments around the country applied for this grant. It was very competitive,” said Dobinick. e The supervisors are pleased with the service given to township residents by Building Inspection Underwriters of Scranton. Most requests for building inspection have been made within 48 hours by the con- tractor. e The township is paying $12,000 less than originally contracted to Lagana Construction of Hazleton for inferior paving of road shoul- ders on lower Mountain View Dr. But road supervisor Ide cau- tioned that “the warrantees on the rest of the work need to be upheld.” e Tammy Ruger, Lehman, asked if the township was con- sidering a spring cleanup. Sutton speculated that it would be very expensive but that the township could look into a co- pay with another town or con- sider a per truckload arrange- ment. “No promises, but we are very interested and we’ll get back to you about this,” said Sutton.
