PAGE 12 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, May 17, 2009 KINGSTON TOWNSHIP Raiders hope spotlights deter thieves By REBECCA BRIA rbria@timesleader.com Gary Capitano of the Kingston Township Raiders asked the Kingston Township supervisors Wednesday evening if the youth football organization can install spotlights and run electricity into a shed on township property. Capitano says the Raiders want to add electricity to the shed located at the Kingston Township Recreation Center to prevent theft and that UGI Elec- tric agreed to provide service to a non-permanent building with the township’s approval. The Raiders organization has agreed to pay electrical costs. The supervisors asked town- ship solicitor Benjamin Jones to draft a letter of agreement be- tween the Raiders and the town- ship. “There are liability issues we want to address as well,” said Jef- frey Box, supervisor chairman. Back Mountain Community Partnership Supervisor James Reino was appointed as the township’s rep- resentative to the Back Mountain Community Partnership and township manager Kathleen Se- bastian was appointed as the al- ternate representative. The partnership is a coopera- tive effort among participating municipalities to work together on various projects not affordable for an individual community and to attempt to secure additional government funding. The township was the first mu- nicipality to join the partnership in April. Jackson and Dallas townships have also become members and Dallas Borough is scheduled to vote on the matter on May 20. Lehman and Franklin town- ships have also considered join- ing. Manager matters At the supervisors’ request, Se- bastian looked into the town- ship’s options for an alternate zoning officer. The issue arose be- cause Bill Eck, the zoning officer, has been absent from his position and township officials were not sure how long he would be out. Eck, however, told Sebastian he expects to return on Monday. Sebastian would like to be trained as a backup zoning officer in case the zoning officer is ever on an extended leave. Sebastian also checked the possibility of the township apply- ing for a Federal American Re- covery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Green Project Reserve Grant Application to repair a bridge behind Pizza Perfect. The bridge, which runs over Toby Creek, was damaged by flood wa- ters. Road superintendent Don Fritzges met with Rich Adam- chick, owner of Pizza Perfect, and said that Adamchick would like the bridge repaired. Sebastian discovered it would be difficult to secure the Depart- ment of Environmental Protec- tion permits needed to fix the bridge since it is on private prop- erty. Lock-In donation The supervisors presented a check for $1,000 to the Dallas High School Lock-In 2009. Cell tower The supervisors approved the township planning commission’s recommendation to approve the Verizon Wireless land develop- ment plan located at 337 Bunker Hill Rd. The plan will allow for the installation of a cellular tow- er. Library auction Approval was granted by the supervisors for the Back Moun- tain Memorial Library Auction to use the township’s bleachers.

He and his partner, Chad Phillips, agreed that Rob- bins had the harder job. “It’s kind of cool,” Robbins said of the project. “It’s interesting.” Robbins’ painting was an unti- tled work by Joan Miro. Phillips thought it was an expression of day and night. Because of an odd number of students in the class, Anthony Brominski, Cole Dixon and Nath- an Kollar all worked together. Dixon had the painting “Bill Al- ley” by Elizabeth Murray. Bro- minski thought the work of art conveyed frustration and confu- sion, while Kollar said it looked like a messy room. When Lypka allowed the stu- dents to remove the paintings, Dixon could not believe what was taped to his head. “How was I supposed to do this?” Dixon asked. "ON THE WEB For more photos go to www.mydallaspost.com Lypka regrouped the students at the end of the class to talk about the project and informed them that the describer was sup- posed to learn more. “I just successfully made each of you visit your own art criticism and give it the attention it needs before criticizing it,” she told her class. Lypka says the lesson — giving things time before judging them — can be applied in all areas of life. Art teacher Erin Lypka checks on Cole Dixon to see how he's doing with the art project.

QUILT Continued from Page 1 them to New York City. “It's a fabulous recycling pro- gram,” Straka said. “It’s win-win.” Members of the Back Mountain Ugly Quilters say knowledge of quilting isn’t required to make ug- ly quilts, which are composed of three layers. The outer layer is made of a sturdy fabric such as can- vas. The middle layer contains blankets, towels, fleece or another material with warmth to it. Soft materials such as flannel or cotton are used for the final, inner layer because it touches a person’s skin. After the three layers are put to- gether, they are measured so they are 7 feet by 7 feet and then are cut for sewing. Baur uses yarn to hand- quilt the sleeping bags and men’s neckties to tie them closed. She then uses an old, donated sewing machine to sew the edges togeth- er. TO DONATE The Back Mountain Ugly Quilters are seeking donations of materi- als. There is especially a need for larger materials such as drap- eries, sheets, mattress pads, blankets and towels. Donated materials may have stains on them but should be clean. Mone- tary donations for sewing ma- chine repairs are also welcome. Donations may be dropped off at the Dallas United Methodist Church from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. The group also tries to include hats and gloves as well as a pock- et-sized New Testament Bible in- side of each sleeping bag. “It’sjust coming here and being able to work on a project that’s 12 months a year,” Straka said. “We come back because helping oth- ers is a gratifying feeling.” Anyone interested in participa- ting in the Back Mountain Ugly Quilters is asked to go to the Dal- las United Methodist Church be- tween 9 am. and noon any Wednesday morning. SUBMITTED PHOTO For the first time in the history of Dallas High School, students have placed in a statewide economics competition. The stu- dents are part of the Dallas High School Economic Competition Club. From left, are club members Thomas Gilroy, adviser; An- drew McCabe, Derek Martin, Michael Mazur, Chris McAndrew, John Prater, Amanda Banks, Jackie Ellis, Jonathan Orlando, Chelsea Pike, Mike McLaughlin, Paul VanLoon, Austin Thomas, Jeremy Bess and Dennis Garvey, coach and lecturer. FIRST Continued from Page 1 club, Garvey used a lecture for- mat. He switched to open dis- cussion for the second year and it seems to have paid off. “Last year at regionals, they were like deer in headlights,” Garvey said of the students. “I realized they were sitting there and I was lecturing.” A stock broker for 31 years, Garvey says the group has talk- ed about economic theories, supply and demand, Reaganom- ics, monetary policy, function of the U.S. Treasury, the national budget and the federal econom- ic stimulus package. He also in- formed the students about col- lege financial aid assistance, in- cluding the Federal Application for Student Aid, the Federal Stafford Loan and loans from Sallie Mae. “You get someone who knows the ins and outs,” Delmar said of Garvey. “You're not just getting the textbook.” Bess, who plans to attend law school, signed up for the club be- cause he has an interest in eco- nomics. He also enjoyed the po- litical debates dealing with eco- nomics that took place during discussion. “I think everyone should at least have a basic level on eco- nomics,” Bess said. Garvey hopes more students will consider joining the club in the fall, especially after seeing how well the students did this year. “No matter what they do in life, they’re going to need expo- sure to economics,” he said. “You can read something in the newspaper such as the econom- ic stimulus package and, if you don’t understand it, you'll put it aside.” QualityCabinets Common name.
