HONORS Continued from Page 1 students who have passed away. Senior Sean McMahon re- ceived the Casey Zalenski Me- morial Award, which is given in honor of the late Dallas student who was murdered in November 2002 during his sophomore year.

I always had a lot of respect for him and everything he was do- ing. To get a scholarship in his name is a great honor.” Morgantini, who previously worked in the Wyoming Valley West School District, says she was pleased to know Dallas held a banquet to honor students for their success in the classroom. “That’s what schools are here for,” she said. “We're here for aca- demics.” COG Continued from Page 1 anything in the comprehensive plan the board doesn’t like. “The nice part of the COG’s comprehensive plan is that you don’t have to follow it verbatim,” he said. “It’s a guideline. It sets some pretty nice ground rules for the way you're gonna proceed with future development in the municipality.” Kingston Township chairman Dave Jenkins said the planning and zoning boards are reviewing the plan and will most likely be ready to make a recommenda- tion by the June meeting, at which time the supervisors will discuss it. “This is an ongoing effort to take a proposal and craft it to where it’s palatable. There are some real issues that have to be worked out,” he said, adding that it could take months to make a decision. Part of the plan is to take an inventory of the ex- isting businesses in the Back Mountain. The aim is to identify opportunities for new business, and to help existing and new businesses create and retain jobs. Also suggested in the plan is to take a survey of Back Moun- tain residents asking what types of services they'd like to have in the region. “There is a great deal of dis- posable income in the Back Mountain,” Moskovitz said. “We'd like to create the opportu- When You Can Have Day Camp! @ e, 0 Activities You won't believe how much there is to do!

We neéd to live with our larger neighbors, and they see no need to partner with anybody. They want to go it alone. We have to be responsible to maintain this beautiful environment for future generations.” Lehman-Jackson hosts science, art show EE {gr Pre From left, art teacher Selina Vols and students Brianna Headman, Janelle Akers, and Kellie Terlesky show some of the art projects done by fifth grade students at Lehman-Jackson Elementary School.
