PAGE 12 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, April 22, 2012 Lake-Lehman students perform ‘Normandy’ during rehearsal for ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ at the high school auditorium. STAGE Continued from Page 1 Rosser will attend Waynes- burg University in the fall to study youth ministry. Amanda Rodriguez-Teutonico said the skills she learned in the- ater helped prepare her for be- ing around war veterans suffer- ing from posttraumatic stress disorder reluctant to share their stories. The 17-year-old from Shick- shinny said volunteering every day at the Wilkes-Barre VA Med- ical Center has inspired her to double major in psychology and occupational therapy at The University of Scranton in the fall. “I learned how to be around people who find it hard to put themselves out there, who are really introverted,” she said. “In theater, you have to keep going even if you don’t get the reac- tion you wanted.” Eighteen-year-old Matthew Gorski, of Shavertown, said his future profession as an elemen- tary school teacher will require him to perform nonstop. He will major in elementary education with a specialization in reading at King’s College in Wilkes- Barre this year. “I like elementary school be- cause you're helping children be- come who they will be,” he said. BILL TARUTIS/ FOR THE TIMES LEADER Performing ‘The Swamps of Home’ during rehearsal for ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ at Lake-Lehman High School are students, from left, Raine Scott, Katie Kaminski, Mikayla Orrson, Jasmine Moku and Matt Gorski. Raine Scott, of Sweet Valley, said theater and art are all part of her master plan to focus on interior design at Luzerne County Community College this fall. “Theater has helped me with my management skills,” she said. Unlike the hidden curriculum in the theater program, there are no serious lessons in “Once Upon a Mattress.” The musical is about a king- dom in which no one can marry unless the queen’s' son is be- trothed. It features an overpro- tective mother (Queen Aggra- vain) who is pushing — and sab- otaging — her son's (Prince Dauntless) eligible bachelo- rettes (including Princess Win- nifred). Hilarity ensues. “The show is very funny, and there is a lot of music and there are many love songs,” said Orr- son. The cast also ensures one can see their closeness from the au- dience. Rodriguez-Teutonico said because the players know each other so well, that trans- lates to good chemistry on stage. “It just goes to show you how important it is to have a rela- tionship with the cast — it chang- es the dynamic,” she said.

AWARDS Continued from Page 1 award. Evans remembers learning about Peter Farrell's death - it happened the day before last year’s tea. “I remember last year the tea was held on April 16 so we were here setting up,” she said. “And this is such a small community, someone came rushing up and asked us if we'd heard what hap- pened to Peter. I was just dumb- founded.” Evans said the scholarship be- ing awarded on the anniversary of Farrell's death was an “odd co- incidence,” but it was also “fitting that he would be honored this way.” Gorski didn't know much about the late school board mem- ber, but he was honored to be “| want to be an elementary teacher because the things you learn there stay with you for the rest of your life. | believe every child could learn, just not on the same day and not in the same way. | read that in a book and | think it’s true.” Matthew Gorski Scholarship recipient chosen for the scholarship. “He seemed to be a very honor- able man who tried to make a dif- ference in the lives of students,” said Gorski. Gorski, who is involved in thea- ter, yearbook, cross country and swimming at Lake-Lehman, also shares Peter Farrell's passion for education. “l want to be an elementary teacher because the things you learn there stay with you for the rest of your life,” he said. “I be- lieve every child could learn, just not on the same day and not in the same way. I read that in a book and I think it’s true.” Other scholarships awarded in- clude the Nicholas Drahus Jr. Me- morial Scholarship to Kristen Boyle, the Constance Petroski Krupinski ’51 Memorial Scholar- ship to Victoria Frederick and the Lake-Lehman Foundation Schol- arship to Tiffany Oplinger.

LAW Continued from Page 3 In other business, Dallas Township District 3 voters should have received notice of a polling venue change. This change affects the area from the township meeting room to the Fellowship Evangelical Free Church on Hildebrandt Road. Jim DeMichele was appoint- ed an alternate for the Dallas Township Zoning Hearing Board. The supervisors also voted to purchase a new police cruiser. Chief Robert Jolley expressed his choice as an all-wheel drive Ford. The board of supervisors will hold a work session at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 1 in the municipal building. POLICE Continued from Page 1 going to incur,” he said. “...Bor- ough council just shut off our street lights to save money... and yetyou’re talking about movinga police station? You know, I think it really needs to be studied a lot more than behind in work ses- sions.” She also said the borough has operated at a deficit for the last two years and cost-cutting mea- sures such as turning off street lights and council members giv- ing up their monthly stipends have been instituted to save money. Radel said estimates from con- tractors are “on target” tobe near the amount of money received from the grant to complete the project. Others praised the move be- cause of the location’s proximity to the Little League fields and the Lake-Noxen Elementary School. “I'm there all hours of the day and all hours of the night until dark, mostly, and I do see the dragracing,” said Chris Cercone, president of the Little League as- sociation. “I have three children who play baseball there and it’s an everyday thing. I think the in- creased police presence will be welcomed on that side of the lake.” Police Chief Charles Musial said the current building is in “deplorable” condition and said the new building will ensure Harveys Lake Borough has a “state-of-the-art” facility while also maintaining officers’ safety. The new police building will include a kitchenette, shower fa- cilities and two interrogation rooms. Hogan also said it is 600 square feet larger than the cur- rent police department building. Former council member Rich Williams III said the officers’ safety should be of the utmost importancetoresidents. Hetook issue with one resident’s criti- cism of the need for showers at the facility. “Our police department re- sponds to numerous different calls in this borough — hazmat calls, ambulance calls, fire calls, domestics,” he said. “These peo- ple put their (lives) on the line foruseveryday-isittoomuchto ask that they have a place to clean themselves up if they get messy on the job?” GrottoPizza owner Joe Paglia- nite, who donated the land and former bait shop in which the po- lice department is currently housed, said the most important issueis whether the police are ac- tually patrolling the lake —thenit won’t matter where they are lo- cated. Boice plans to formally obj the move to state legislators ’ hopes an investigation will be conducted on the application process for the grant. Inothernews... e Council heard from consult- ant Fred Lubnow of Princeton Hydro about the artificial wet- lands to be installed in the lake. Lubnow is seeking comments from residents about where to place the 250 square foot wet- lands made from recycled plastic materials. The grant-funded islands will grow native plant species and the plastic will not only prevent plant life from spreading on the lake but also insulate plant roots in the wintertime. Lubnow said the purpose of the five anchored islands is to ab- sorb nutrients, to promote fish- ery habitats and to provide an aesthetic element at the lake. ¢ Radel alsoannounced a clea- nup day will be held at the lake from noon to 3 p.m. today, April 22. The event, sponsored by the Environmental Advisory Coun- cil, will be held in celebration of Earth Day. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an “adult.
