In another case, an officer performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a child who was not breathing. The child died and the officer later learned the child had meningitis. The officer had to take po- tent antibiotics and monitor his health to prevent himself from developing the dis- ease. During a similar occasion, an officer was bitten by someone he was trying to arrest. He later found out the man had Hepatitis C. Yet another time, an officer responded to a suicidal woman at Frances Slocum State Park. The woman took tranquiliz- ers and drove her car into the lake. The officer took off his gun and dove in after her, risking his life to get her to land. Un- fortunately, the woman was already dead. “I think as time goes on, these kinds of incidents where officers’ lives are put in danger will increase, not decrease,” Ba- lavage said, citing changes in society.

It was Duane Updyke’s idea to save the carousel after he recognized it in a trade magazine. The Rev. Roger Griffith of Trinity Presby- terian Church in Dallas is also active with the group but could not make it to the auction. Wintersteen rejected both of the two bids she received for the ride because they were much lower than she expected. Her primary focus became getting the horses back, which she did after settling with the auction company late last summer. sion for her to make to pull it off the auction block because she would then have to pay the auc- tion company for all the adver- tising, which was substantial,” Martin said.

The Brass Ring Foundation hopes to purchase the entire ca- rousel from Wintersteen if it can raise enough money to do so. It is the intention of the organiza- tion to set up the carousel somewhere in the Back Moun- tain for everyone to enjoy. So far, several thousand dol- lars have been collected in do- nations. Martin remembers visiting her grandparents, the late Pa- trick and Mary Musto, at their cottage in Harveys Lake every summer. She would often go to Hanson’s Amusement Park and ride the carousel. It is her wish that her 11-year-old son, Robert Martin Jr., will get to ride the carousel as she once did. Martin has become good friends with Wintersteen, who gave her a brass ring from the carousel. Riders on the carousel tried to collect the rings from a dispenser for a free ride. “As we get older, we look back at our childhoods and mine was a great childhood,” Martin said. “Both my parents and a brother are gone and it (the carousel) takes me back to a time when they were still here.” Martin, who is a member of the 2009 Dallas Harvest Festival Steering Committee, is working with local artists Missy Eneboe and Diane Grant Czajkowski and the Cultural Council of Lu- zerne County to provide paint- ings of the carousel for display at the event. Martin envisions a 100-year birthday party with balloons, a big birthday cake with a photo of the carousel on it and carousel music playing. She also would like to put hoof print decals on the sidewalk from the festival leading up to the lodge. “This is the jewel of the Back Mountain and it needs to re- main here,” Martin said. ® Back Mountain students named to Luzerne County Community College dean's List Luzerne County Community College announces the following Back Mountain students have earned recognition for outstand- ing academic achievement dur- ing the spring 2009 semester.
