3 The Dallas Post Sunday, June 19, 2005 ®RAGONFLIES Continued from Page 1 time Carverton resident ‘Dottie Ann Searfoss. “My teacher used to take us here for field trips.” Little wind and the hot day bothered all but the beautiful dragonflies they had come to see. There were big whitetail dragonflies that looked like bi- planes, basket tails (yes, their ~ tails look like woven baskets), and a shimmery luminous blue Aurora damselfly that attracted everyone’s attention. Carol Lizell, a wildflower hunter from West Pittston, came well-prepared with a 10- power magnifying loupe, which she shared with the group. With it, the hairs on the insects’ bodies became clearly visible. One dragonfly d a pair of elephant-like nks at the end of its body. Koval explained the first les- son. There are dragonflies and then there are damselflies. The difference is that the damsel fly holds its wings on its back. And then there are “spread wings, too. He tickled the body of one and it bit April Roskos’s finger. Koval whipped his butterfly net around and caught the dragonflies easily, taking sam- ples into his collection bag. They can last a few days in his bag, he assured everyone. After he let one loose. It fal- tered at first. “He may be on his last wing,” chuckled Lou Yerabeck. The human visitors moved across the hot pond and over concrete stepping stones into the spring green shade of a trail. There they examined a bright green variety, found a Jack-in-the-pulpit, and went lakeside to cool off. Group members, agreed the green dragonfly is a work of art. “They are not aware of how beautiful they are, “ sighed Searfoss. FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK April Roskos gets a close look at a dragonfly held by Rick Koval, anaturalist from the North Branch Land Trust. ———— pe SENIOR MENUS Senior Citizens Centers spon- sored by the Area Agency on aging for Luzerne and Wyoming Counties offers hot noon meals Monday through Friday to peo- ple 60 years of age or older.

If that were not enough to keep everyone busy, Dance Dance Revolution, lazar tag, karaoke, Twister, and a Dallas LifeSmarts competition were also offered throughout the night, as well as the chance to view a specially created senior video. Probably the highlight of almost everyone’s night was the final two hours when “Astonishing Neil” was able to put a handful of the drowsy audience into a hypnotized state. Fits of laughter fed the mesmerized subjects as they easily and fervently followed each and every instruction. Whether they themselves were laughing at the “funniest punch line” they ever heard, or the audi- ence was cracking up at the reactions several stu- dents had as they were convinced they had won and/or lost a million dollars at the horse races, the auditorium echoed with hysterical giggles. One of the most appealing aspects of the Lock- In to the average broke teenager was the assur- ance of winning some money and a prize. Each student received a door prize valued at about $50, which ranged from gift certificates to area stores merchandise. A balloon pop and lollipop pull each had a minimum prize of $5, with larger cash prizes given to the lucky ones who picked the right balloons and tootsie pops. A money machine required much more skill as each person had 20 seconds in a claustrophobic booth to shove blowing bills and coupons through a thin slot. For some this meant $3 and a burger, while others were quick enough to grab a fifty or a twenty or sometimes both. At the conclusion of the Lock-In was a drawing to award larger cash prizes. Ten graduates each received $100, six snagged $250 each, two got their hands on $500, and one very lucky and much deserving individ- ual walked out $1,000 richer. The Dallas High School Grad Lock-In has been perfected and skillfully orchestrated in order to give each senior class a chaperoned gathering that is certainly in the best interest of anyone eli- gible to attend. The LockIn is a night of fun, food, hanging out, hilarity, money, prizes, and memories. Without the dedicated work of parents and the generosity of the ‘commniunity, such ater- rific and eventful night could not have taken place, and therefore, I would like to extend my gratitude on behalf of the Class of 2005 to all who contributed.
