Dallas High School students will compete at national ‘Lifesmarts competition Attorney General Tom Corbett has named Dallas High School the 2010 “LifeSmarts Consumer Chal- lenge” state champion following Tuesday’s competition held in Har- risburg. The victory means Dallas will represent Pennsylvania in the Na- tional LifeSmarts competition to be held April 24-27 in Miami, Florida. LifeSmarts is a consumer chal- lenge competition for high school students across the nation. The National Consumer League, in partnership with nonprofit orga- nizations, government agencies and educational organizations, make the competition available to teens in every state. The Attorney General's office plans and imple- ments the program for Pennsylva- nia. Corbett said the nine top scoring teams were invited to the state fi- nals and were chosen based on their scores on three separate tests that were posted online. The Internet-based competition asked students a host of questions related to such topics as personal fi- nances, the environment, tech- nology, consumer rights and re- sponsibilities and health and safety. Each student earned points for the questions answered cor- rectly. Their team score was de- termined by the average of the top four student scores from each school. INTERVENED Continued from Page 1 Jason Dalla Verde, 25, Pittston, lectric and acoustic guitars. “Declarations,” which was re- leased in December, is the band’s first CD. It contains eight songs: “In Your Presence,” “Scream,” “Declarations,” “Hungry For You,” “When He Died,” “Decem- ber,” “Curse of Blood,” and “Blood of Grace.” “The typical music industry ap- proach is you get a certain sound and you stick within that pocket,” Mike Warner said. “With our songs, youre dealing with so many diverse styles that the lis- tener is actually kind of assaulted by the changes from one song to the next.” The song “Curse of Blood” is about abortion and the band hopes it will discourage women from having such procedures. The lyrics of the song’s verses tell three stories — the voice of the unborn baby, the voice of the mother and the voice of the na- tion. Cathryn Warner sings the voice of the baby while Manassy sings the voice of the young moth- er. Mike Warner, who wrote the song, was inspired, in part, by for- mer Alaska governor Sarah Palin because she has a son with Down PETE G. WILCOX/ THE DALLAS POST Mike Warner plays the keyboards during a sound check at High Point Baptist Church in Larks- ville. Also pictured is Jason Dallaverde, right. syndrome and an unwed teenage daughter who had ababy. He even suggested the name Palin for the band. “That was just a name that I threw out there because I felt that this was going to be the song that really etched our mark in the mu- ”» sic industry...” Warner said. “These are two scenarios that al- most always yield abortions and, yet, in both of those difficult preg- nancies, they made the decision to keep their baby. I felt that was a very compelling and inspiring message and decision.” BROADWAY Continued from Page 1 “By the end of the second night she offered me to come back the following week for two weeks and the rest was history,” White said. White met her partner, a jew- elry designer named Donna Bar- nett, in Key West. The two moved in together and, soon af- = ter, White auditioned for the Broadway musical “Finian’s Rainbow.” She landed the role of Dottie, performing in the show for two and a half months until it closed in January. White and Barnett held a com- mitment ceremony, attended by Allen and Creel, following a per- formance of “Finian’s Rainbow” last October. They made their marriage legal on Feb. 4 in Con- necticut. , Most recently, White has been ut asked to take on the roll of Mom- ma Morton in “Chicago,” cur- rently playing on Broadway. She will begin the role some- time in early spring. White is looking forward to performing once again in the Back Mountain. “It’s lots of fun,” White said. “The people are great there. It’s fun to look around and see all the faces and peo- ple enjoying themselves and being a part of that. That's what entertainment is all about.” “Declarations” is available for purchase on the band’s Web site at www.aweband.com.
