CAN Continued from Page 1 ings in jars and placed jars in hot water baths. Diana Berry, of Dallas, helped her parents can vegetables and sauces made from their garden when she was a child and wanted to know what was new in the practice, noting that the process is still very familiar to her. “The kitchen was always like this — hot, crowded and noisy,” she said as she and the others worked together to make pickles. Sharon Shaver, of Dallas, prac- ticed canning the night before the hands-on part of the class. “I wanted to see what I did wrong,” she said as she sprinkled mustard seeds into five mason jars. Participants clamored for space in the kitchen despite its large size and sparred and coop- “I want to learn how to do my own so I'm not wasting money." Anna Antoniello Benton erated with each other as if they'd been cooking together for more than two days. Joe O’Connor, of Kingston, joked around as he pulled fresh sprigs of dill from a bouquet of the herb. “It’s all dill to me,” he laughed. O’Connor says his view of can- ning has changed since taking the class. “Everything she told us not to do, I've done,” he said. Ehret knows that students couldn’t learn the intricate proc- ess if they just watched her make the quick pickles. “This is hands-on,” she said. “I just kind of let them go.” Packing pickles is fun for Joe O'Connor, of Kingston, during a class on canning sponsored by the Penn State Cooperative Extension of Luzerne County . EARLY Continued from Page 1 Some students didn’t even get a head start - at Dallas Ele- mentary, there were nine stu- dents who weren't present for all or part of the first week due to planned vacations. At Dallas Middle School, only one or two students were absent out of nearly 700 students. Galicki says the administra- tion makes sure parents are well aware of the start of the school year. “Initially, some parents, de- pending upon their. personal schedules, they'd love to go on vacation after Labor Day, or be- fore Labor Day, or the weekend of Labor Day,” he said. “Next year, with the late start, it will work. This year, it won’t work.” This year students might have had a shortened break, but next year class will not be in session until mid-September due to the construction. The high school is slated to open around the second week of September 2011 and Galicki says this won't have an effect on academic pursuits. The superintendent says his previous experience as the high school principal has given him foresight on the best time for students to start learning. “I always liked to start early and end early,” he said. “The productivity has always been, in my opinion, higher.” Overall, administrators were pleased with the early opening and felt the district had planned the change of schedule well. “We're off to a really smooth start,” said Duffy. The opening of the new high school will be celebrated with members of the class of 1962 - the first class to graduate from the old high school. It will also mark the 50-year anniversary of the high school. CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Sterling Hemmerly fires for the Dallas Shuffleboard Team.
