PAGE 10 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, July 22, 2012 PUBLIC Continued from Page 3 comment about Hogan's letter from November 2011 sent to the state Department of Communi- ty and Economic Development, which stated the project had community support. “What is your idea of commu- nity support?” he asked Hogan. Hogan said he received posi- tive comments from the public through “word of mouth.” When the motion to put the issue to referendum was ap- proved, Radel told Boice he would have to check with the solicitor about the legality of her motion. Solicitor Charles McCormick had left the meet- ing prior to the vote. Boice said the grant applica- . tion could be reworked to con- duct renovations on the existing police building, but that will not be done until the public votes on the issue. She said the grant does not expire until June 2014. In other business, council... e Approved the purchase of “panic buttons” for the borough secretary and zoning officer.

GUARD Continued from Page 1 looked fun but I was nervous,” said Carey before tossing a metal flag pole and spinning it with ease. “Now I like throwing (the flag) up in the air and catching it.” Kidd hopes to improve on her horizontals — throwing and spin- ning the flag horizontally — dur- ing the week-long camp. “I like everything about color guard, especially throwing and catching the flag,” she said. Carey’s worries about drop- ping the flag have floated away from her mindset since she start- ed working with the guard. “I've been hit with the flag many times and it hurts,” said Kidd. “But you forget about it after a while,” added Carey. Campbell said the activity is more athletically intense than one might think. Szabo said the group will stretch for an hour be- fore practicing routines, which require plenty of eye-hand coor- dination to work. “You definitely need listening skills,” said Campbell of what it takes to be a successful color guard member. The girls hoped to teach the younger students the basics of color guard and encourage them to join the guard, too. Szabo said some years the guard has nearly 20 members, while other years the guard could have as few as two or three members. Despite the range of participation, the group is good — it placed second out of 52 schools at the ‘Atlantic Coast Championships last year. Szabo makes it look so fun that her whole family jumped on the bandwagon. Mother Gayle. assisted with the camp and three of her children also attended. Fif- teen-year-old Lila is nearly a vet- eran like her big sister, while 9- | year-old Alaina is just starting. Twelve-year-old brother Josh plays the mellophone in the marching band but came to the camp to support his sister. “I told them, if you want me to go to all your activities, you can’t be going in all different direc- tions,” said Gayle Szabo. “I think their performances are wonder- ful.” CHURCH BRIEFS Spanish Bible Study every Sunday Back Mountain Harvest Assembly offers a Spanish Bible Study from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. every Sunday at the church, 340 Carverton ‘Road, Trucksville.

The second annual event, sponsored by Edwards Business Systems of Scranton, was a com- munity service event to benefit the Boy Scouts of America. Last year, the company held its event at PNC Field in Moosic but due to the demolition of the stadium, organizers had to think outside the box to keep the benefit go- ing. “We usually have a home run derby on PNC Field but we couldn’t this year due to the con- struction,” said Dexter Loeble, regional sales manager at Ed- wards Business Systems. “Last year, we raised $5,000 for sum- mer camping and other pro- grams for Scouts and this year were set to exceed that amount.” Scouts registered their cars for a chance to break records and have fun. Each Scout earned a badge that featured the name of the event embroidered on a tire- shaped patch. : Jacob Banta, 9, and his father Russ were the first to test out the longest derby track in the world — it stretched from McHale Hall to the Mary Kintz Bevevino Li- Jacob Banta, who hails from Cub Scout Pack 155 out of Trucksville United Methodist Church, “drove” a police car that had most of its weight in the back. Russ Banta manned a red, sparkly car that also had weight distributed more to the back of the vehicle. “Once it hits that hill, then it picks up,” Russ said about why the weight in the cars was dis- tributed in the rear end. It wasn’t the first time he had chosen an interesting design for his car — last year the pack papa A track official records a race car's distance after a heat along the nearly 500-foot-long Pinewood Derby track at Misericordia University. ; fashioned his car into a choco- late treat. “I took a Hershey bar wrapper and glued it to the car,” he said. “It didn’t run well, but it was neat.” Not long after the release of their cars, Jacob ran beside his police car as his father’s red spar- kler jumped lanes and bumped sides along the way. “I blame the driver,” laughed Russ. Jacob beat the record by a mile — well, a mile in pinewood derby talk. His car traveled 406 feet. Several track experts were on hand to measure the distances of cars in comparison with the re- cord as well as to determine what might have caused any bumps in the road. The track was built by Boy Scouts with the help of North American Warhorse in Dunmore and 84 Lumber in Pittston. “The man helping us from North American Warhorse was an Eagle Scout, and another man from 84 Lumber is a Scoutmas- ter, so Scouting was involved in evely part of this process,” said Mike LaPolla of Boy Scouts of America. Loeble just hoped Scouts had a good time with family, espe- cially because the event was held the day before Father’s Day. | “I've been in Scouts all my lifg and my father, Bill Loeble, fle up from Atlanta to see this,” said Loeble. Russ Banta said he earned his Eagle Scout rank in 1982 and has enjoyed spending time with his son during his own Scouting years. “It's great — it gets kids in- volved and teaches life lessons and values,” he said. “T like to think it made me a better per- ”» Sori, PEOPLE BRIEFS Lavada admitted to Supreme Court Bar Adelle Zavada, of Harveys Lake, recently took the oath to become a member of the Su- preme Court Bar.
