September 11, 2001. Losing a loved one In the span of a week, Darren Snyders life was turned upside down. In early September 2001, the Back Mountain business owner moved out of the Manhattan apartment he shared with his brother, Lenny, and his family to care for his mother, Marilyn, who had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The entire family, six children in all, gathered at the Snyder familys vacation home in Hun-

Several locals offer their perspective of the day that no one will ever forget.

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on that clear September morning affected every American, all in different ways. Below are a few perspectives on the day, the aftermath and the legacy on the 10th anniversary of
locks Creek on Labor Day weekend to spend time together in the wake of their mothers diagnosis. Unbeknownst to Darren Snyder, that weekend would be the last time he saw his brother Lenny alive. Darren Snyder still isnt sure
how or when it happened, but some time during or after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Leonard Lenny Snyder Jr. died. He was last seen on the 76th floor of the south tower in the World Trade Center.
Darren Snyder, 35, of WilkesBarre, can still remember the panicked feeling that overcame his family on that Tuesday morning. It was a day of just complete highs and lows throughout the day, he said. He tried to calm his parents once hed heard the news Lenny was working in the south tower on the 101st floor for Aon Consulting. The north tower was the first to be struck by one of the hijacked planes. Then youre watching the TV and you see the second plane hit
and it just really takes the wind out of you, he said. It was surreal that this would be happeningthough the south tower was the second hit, it was the first to fall. He said his brother, the fire warden on his floor, was also in the World Trade Center during an attempted bombing in the early 90s. Darren Snyder said employees were instructed to hold each others shoulders while evacuating from the building using the steps, which took

Students in the Dallas School District have many changes to look forward to this year when they return to classrooms on September 12, the most impressive being the brand new high school. The Dallas Post contacted principals at the four Dallas schools to see what else is new in and around the district this year. story. Dallas High School The brand new, state-of-theart high school will mark a new era in Dallas School District education, according to the districts website. The more than 200,000 square-foot, three-story building will hold more students and host more programs than ever before. Superintendent Frank Galicki said the most important idea for parents and students to take hold this year is patience. What I hope for this year is that everyone adjusts to the new campus and everyone has patience because its going to take some time to adjust traffic-wise, to adjust finding classrooms at the high school, parking for athletic events, scheduling athletic events, utilization of fields not yet been completed and the completion of the track, he said. Galicki said new traffic patterns will be the biggest change district-wide this school year, besides the new high school building. Instead of designated bus numbers, students will receive slots, or assigned pick-up and drop-off areas for buses. Galicki said detailed information on the new traffic patterns will be dispersed through a Connect-Ed phone call to parents throughout the district in the coming days. In addition to learning the ropes of their new school, students will also have a new dress code requirement upon entering the new building. Students will not be allowed to wear flip flops, sweat pants, gym shorts, or tank tops in the new building. Information about the specifics of the new clothing policy can be found on the districts website, www.dallassd.com. Students can also download a map of the new building to better navigate the new school on the district website. Principal Jeffrey Shaffer was unavailable for comment for this

Dallas Middle School Principal Thomas Duffy said there will be a few positive changes for students entering the 2011-12 school year at the middle school this Monday. The student council will begin a program called First Fridays, similar to what was formerly called Color Day, in the cafeteria. Duffy said students will get the opportunity to show their school spirit on the first Friday of every month and the cafeteria will offer treats like Sno Cones in celebration. This is a way for us to maintain a positive school culture, said Duffy. He also said the school will continue a good Samaritan-type award program called Mountaineer Moments where students and teachers can nominate each other for doing good deeds throughout the year. Duffy said students and faculty will be honored during the issuing of quarterly awards. Students and staff members will be looking out for others doing the right thing, which is positive for the school and other people, he said. Anybody can nominate anyone else for things like, for example, if an eighth-grader helps a sixth-grader find his or her way to class. The middle school has been equipped with promethean boards and LCD projectors in every room. Duffy said last year about 65 percent of rooms had the technology. He also said the building is now wired for wireless Internet access, and the school will experiment with allowing students to bring in personal laptops for specific projects. Duffy also announced assistant principal Matthew Barrett will not be returning to the school this year. Galicki said the school board has not discussed whether or not this position will be filled. Were 100 percent ready to start the school year, said Duffy. Wycallis Elementary There arent too many changes at Wycallis this year, other than

DALLAS TOWNSHIP
Several concerns were raised by residents Tuesday in regards to the townships deal with Williams Field Services LLC and the companys commitment to pipeline safety. At their last meeting, township supervisors penned an agreement with Williams that requires the company to follow several stipulations regarding its planned pipeline and metering station. The companys Springville Gathering Line project includes about five miles in Dallas Township that would end at a site about 1,800 feet from the Dallas School District campus. An access road will be
located off Lower Demunds Road. The company wants to tap into the Transco interstate pipeline in order to send gas from wells in Susquehanna County to market. Residents Kim Jacobs, Norm Tomchak and Diane Dreier had questions about the specifics of the agreement, including the strength of the deal. Solicitor Thomas Brennan said the agreement, including the deed restriction placed on the Perry property where Williams is planning to build, could feasibly be changed in the future if both parties consented to an amendment, but the change would need to take place in a formal, public setting. He said the township
worked so hard for the agreement terms that he could not foresee any changes to the document in the future. I cant rule anything out, said Brennan. Jacobs questioned Brennan and the supervisors about why construction at the site is progressing before the company has even begun the zoning hearing process for its planned metering facility. She said the company appears to be putting the cart
before the horse and working on a project it does not yet have the ability to construct. I just think theres a little bullying going on, said Jacobs. Brennan said the company works on its projects at its own risk. They have a right to do it, he said. The company has not yet submitted a zoning application to the township for its metering station, but Williams re-
ceived approval in Northmoreland Township, Wyoming County, to build a temporary metering site in order for the pipeline to become operable by October. Resident Jane Tolomello, of Fairground Road, presented the board members with photos of the Transco construction site before and after the recent hurricane. The pipeline had been exposed to the elements, and afterwards the pit in which the pipeline was located was submerged in water. Tolomello asked, her voice raised with emotion, how the township was protecting her and her neighbors from something happening at the site. All a tree had to do was fall and my neighborhood would have been up in smoke, she
yelled. This would not be an accident; this would be a catastrophe. Brennan said the supervisors would present the photos to Williams officials and get answers to Tolomellos questions. He added that a special meeting may be called next week to discuss a curative amendment to the townships zoning ordinance and an agreement with Chief Gathering LLC on its pipeline and metering station plans. In other news The board voted to approve the following donations: $4,000 to the Back Mountain Memorial Library, $1,000 to the Visiting Nurses Association and $1,000 to the SPCA of Luzerne County.

Confusion in determining fact from fiction regarding a proposed sewer expansion project in Bulford Farms caused residents to attend Tuesday nights supervisors meeting. Dr. Ian Kellman, of Hampton Street in Bulford Farms, said he never received any notification of the project and, upon talking with the residents on his street, was told a fee of about $30,000 per homeowner is required to hook home up to the public sewer systems. I never saw a notice in the newspaper; I wanted to get this information clarified, he said. I come to find out, you are voting on it tonight. Township Attorney Jeffery Malak explained the proposed ordinance was advertised in the local newspapers under the Legal Ads section and is available in the municipal building for review. Malak said the ordinance is affecting 19 properties on Bulford, Old Field and Long Meadow Roads. According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the properties have old and failing septic systems, he said. The project will allow sewer lines to be connected to the homes. Malak explained the three roads involved in the project are part of the first phase of the development. He added there are no plans to extend the sewer project into other areas of the development, including Kellmans street. This project has been ongoing since May 11, Malak said. These homes have septic systems which are 30 years old and they are contaminating the water supply in this area. Malak said when DEP found the contamination, residents were faced with a tough decision and they approached the supervisors for help. The homeowners involved will pay $15,000 to

$25,000 toward the cost of connecting to the public sewer system. The township will pay less then 10 percent of the bond for the work, he said. Resident Allen Sands, who lives within phase one of Bulford Farms, said some residents put in sand mounds to fix their septic problems and that he spoke with a lot of people who are against the proposed project. Supervisors unanimously passed the Bulford Farms Sewer Extension Project Ordinance. Supervisors also unanimously passed a more defined parking ordinance. Malak gave a brief overview, stating the new parking ordinance was needed since the last update completed in 2010 created a full ban of onstreet parking in the township which created problems. The original parking ordinance was adopted in 1979. The revised ordinance specifies which streets allow parking and which do not as well as enforcement procedures and fines. The ordinance will be effective within five days and is available for review in the township office. In other news Supervisors approved a motion to join with Lake, Lehman, Dallas and Kingston Townships and Dallas Borough with an Advance Life Support Contract which will provide residents of the Back Mountain with better

the person at the helm of the building. Paul Reinert, who is also the district director of curriculum and instruction, will begin his first year as the principal of Wycallis Elementary this year. Reinert served as principal of Dallas Elementary prior to moving on to assistant superintendent and director of curriculum and instruction.
In my other positions, I always said I miss being in a building full of children, and now that I am, it is a great comfort to me, said Reinert. Wycallis is a great school and were going to keep it a great school. Reinert said touch-screen white boards and LCD projectors have been installed in some, but not all, classrooms. I hope to maintain the high quality of education at Wycallis Elementary, he said.
the biggest change at Dallas Elementary will be morning and afternoon traffic patterns, as the access road from Hildebrandt Road will be shared with the middle and high schools. There will be new drop-off areas for parents behind and on the side of the elementary school. In the morning, parents will enter the parking lot from Hildebrandt Road and proceed behind the school to exit off Conyngham Avenue. He said in the afternoon, the pattern will reverse parents Dallas Elementary can enter the school lot from CoPrincipal Thomas Traver said nyngham Avenue to exit onto
Hildebrandt Road. The point of that is to keep buses and parents vehicles separate buses will primarily be in front of the school while cars will be behind the building. We will have an adult stationed at each of the three dropoff areas for safety, said Traver. Some classroom structures will also change. Traver said fourth-grade students will be taught by all four teachers in the grade. Mrs. Ecenrode will teach reading, Mrs. Besecker will teach science, Mrs. Ford will teach mathematics and Mrs.
Hummer will teach language arts and social studies. Traver also said there will be two teams of teachers in fifth grade Mrs. Plank and Mrs. Snyder will be one team. Snyder will cover math, science and social studies and Plank will teach language arts and reading. The other team, comprised of Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Burkhardt and Dr. Speziale, will share science and social studies. Taylor will teach reading, Burkhardt will cover language arts and Speziale will teach math, as well. Traver also announced that
Ashley Barchik is the schools new full-time art teacher. My number one goal every year is to show improvements in academic performance in all grades, and I always pride myself in having a safe and productive year, he said. Though he fears the summer brain drain as a result of the long break, Traver said he has high hopes for this new school year. I hope students can quickly transition back into school mode and pick up any information or skills lost, he said.

In honor of World Polio Day, which is widely recognized on October 24, Rotary International District 7410 Clubs in the 10 counties of Northeastern Pennsylvania will conduct fundraisers and public awareness activities as part of Rotarys 26-year mission to eradicate the crippling childhood disease polio. Over the past 26 years, clubs in District 7410 have raised more than a half million dollars to defeat polio. Since 1985, all of Rotary has contributed more than $1 billion and countless volunteer hours to the protection of more than two billion children in 122 countries. The disease remains endemic in four countries - Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan - although other countries remain at risk for imported cases. A highly infectious disease, polio causes paralysis and is sometimes fatal. As there is no cure, the best protection is prevention. For as little as 60 cents worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. After an international investment of more than $8 billion and the successful engagement of more than 200 countries and 20 million volunteers, polio could be the first human disease of the 21st century to be eradicated. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is spearheaded by the World Health Organization, Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF). It includes the support of governments and other private sector donors. Rotarians in district 7410 invite the public to support the polio eradication initiative by visiting www.rotary.org/endpolio . For further information visit, www.rotary.org or www.polioeradication.org.

Mrs. Robinson had just delivered a dog to Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Neuman, Pennsylvania Avenue, and had turned to leave the porch when she missed her footing. Twelve members of the book club cleaned the new annex to Back Mountain Memorial Library Wednesday morning, putting the place in order from window washing to arrangement of dishes and silver. They were: Mesdames Fred Howell, H.W. Smith, Herbert A. Smith, Jr., Gerald Dettmore, Harry Stuhlmuller, Harold Flack, Reston Sturdevant, David
Schmerer, Dan Robinhold, Raymond Kuhnert, Mary Thomas and Thomas Graham. 70 YEARS AGO - 1941 The winning team of the Lehman Methodist Church choir in their contest to improve attendance at choir practices and church services, were guests of the losing team at a lovely dinner held in the church Tuesday evening. The winners, headed by Miss Elizabeth Abbott, furnished the entertainment and the losers, led by Hayden Ambrose, the dinner. Women of the Rotary enjoyed a dinner meeting at the Moses Van Campen Hotel at Benton last evening. Present were: Mrs. Marguerite Nicholson, Mrs. Fredericka Breslin, Mrs. Gertrude Bodycomb, Mrs. Alberta Garinger, Mrs. Mary Dick, Mrs. Claire Warriner, Mrs. Louise Brown, Mrs. Grace Richardson, Mrs. Jean Richards, Mrs. Laska Jurchak, Mrs. Maude Yeisley, Mrs. George Metz, Mrs. Irene Monk and Mrs. R.A.

He was seen on the 76th floor with most of the people on his floor, and thats where they were when the second plane hit the World Trade Center, so it actually hit above them, he said.

During our lunch time, we at Ground Zero. But thats not all they provided had access to TV, and the teachfor the thousands of people, from ers watched on their own. Turchin said it was difficult to emergency responders to survicontinue as if nothing had hap- vors, at the site. Our help was spiritual, emopened for the sake of the children, but having other teachers tional and psychological. It was in the same classroom helped an opportunity to help those who went down in the hole, her keep her composure. It was nerve-wracking, just when they were coming out, not knowing all details, she with some of their thoughts, feelsaid. We just were talking ings and emotions, said Collaamongst ourselves about how it day. He said the issues raised durwas such a horrible thing. It ing the aftermath were difficult made me very, very nervous. At Dallas High School, English for everyone to comprehend and teacher Catherine Wega was try- finding answers to the myriad of ing to keep her classes informed questions was not an easy task about what was happening about not even for him.
There was a sense of why did it happenfor the firemen who had lost some of their friends there was a feeling of how could the helpers get hurt, running into that, said Colladay. The questions that I would have to ask are how could God do this to how could God allow this to I dont know if God allowed this or if man, in his wicked, evil, twisted ways, did what (he) wanted to do. The most important part, Colladay said, was bringing hope to those who were reeling from what had happened and acknowledging that Americans can overcome anything. He said its an experience he chooses not to think about and he really hadnt reflected upon it until this week. Its called washing, he said. It doesnt make you hard, washing just makes you wrinkled. With questions of their own, it didnt take the Snyders long to make the trip to New York City in search of Lenny. Darren Snyder found a posting for loved ones due to the lack of telephone service, and he found Lennys name on a list of people who were safe and accounted for. It was another high again, said Darren Snyder. His names here, hes reported as being OK. But it was somebody who saw him on the 76th floor. After waiting what seemed like forever for Lenny to get in touch with them, the Snyders decided to take trips to local hospitals and other places where Lenny might have checked in. We went to all the hospitals in New York asking if there were any Lenny Snyders or John Does and there was just nothing, said Darren Snyder. Those fruitless searches led Darren Snyder to believe his brother was not coming home. Legacy of September 11, 2001 Dave Davis, chief of the Harveys Lake Fire Department, believes the attacks on September 11 made residents more aware and more respectful of what emergency responders do. He said the media gave everyone a look at not only what it takes to be an emergency responder, but also what it costs. There was a lot more participation in our fund drives and things like that, said Davis. It made people see how much was lost in equipment and manpower. Colladay said the attacks made one fact apparent and true: We live in a changing world, he said. Turchin, now retired, can still see the good that came out of something so detrimental to the nation. It was a terrible, terrible disaster that brought us as American people together to help each other in a time of need, she said. Darren Snyder, who will visit a memorial built in honor of his brother and others today in Chestnut Ridge, N.J., said the important thing he will always cherish is the delicacy of life. It brought my family closer, and we never miss any family gatherings, he said.

Two stages mean double the entertainment at this years Dallas Harvest Festival which kicks off at noon on Sunday, Sept. 18. First-time solo entertainment committee chairperson Gina Major Ackerman has booked nearly two dozen local acts, from karate demos to a childrens theater group, to keep adults and youngsters smiling all afternoon. This year we wanted to vamp up the entertainment and take everything up a notch, said Major Ackerman. She said this year two acts are sure to a With all this great bring crowd to entertainment, the ninth Major Ackerman annual fessaid there is still a tival: Damian the need for volunteers to help keep Magician for the the acts on both kids, and stages running former smoothly. Contact WNEP-16 broadcastthe Dallas Borer and folk ough offices at musician Mike Le675-1389 to see how you can help. wis for the adults. Both acts will close out the festival on two different stages: Damian on the Frontier Community Stage, located at the Dallas Hardware Centre parking lot, and Lewis on the Lewith and Freeman main stage at the end of Main Street. Major Ackerman said her focus this year was on keeping similar styles of entertainment blocked together to make it easier for families to plan their perusal of the grounds. The entire main stage entertainment schedule will be posted at the community stage. The community stage schedule will be posted at the main stage and both schedules will be posted around the festival grounds, she said. I think the better you plan, the more families can get around to everything. Other acts include a multitude of local youth dancers from Take the Stage Dance Studio in Trucksville, the Back Mountain Dance Studio in Dallas, the David Blight School of Dance in Wilkes-Barre and Pittston and the Dallas High School Junior Varsity Cheer Team. Festival-goers can watch professional groups, such as the Emerald Isle Step Dancers and Misericordia University dance instructors Raphael and Lauren Cooper, during the event, too. When you notch up the entertainment level, my feeling was lets not only notch up main stage, do a great job of it, but also get great acts for the second stage, said Major Ackerman. Six local singers and musical groups will also grace the stage during the event, including the Step by Step Praise Band from the Shavertown United Methodist Church, Christian pop singer Caroline H. Thomas and vocalists from the Major Performing Arts Center. Other fun acts include demonstrations by the PawsAbilities 4-H Seeing Eye Dogs and the United Fighting Arts Association and a performance of the fairytale Rapunzel from the Northeast Youth Theatre sponsored by Hildebrandt Learning Centers. One favorite of the festival is Changing Habits, a local group of women who perform songs from the film Sister Act to raise money for Gate of Heaven Church in Dallas. We try really hard to provide something for everybody, said Major Ackerman.

September marks the end of summer, and the Dallas Harvest Festival in the heart of downtown Dallas has got plenty of tasty treats in line with the changing seasons. From summertime classics like potato pancakes and pizza to fall favorites including plenty of apple-flavored snacks, its that time of the month when shifting seasons benefit all taste buds. At this years Harvest Festival, patrons can expect to find festival standbys like haluski, sausage and peppers and funnel cakes as well as a few new additions like crab cake sandwiches, fried veggies and chocolate pastries. Vendor coordinator Mike McDavid said the point of the festival is to keep offerings local and there will be plenty of familiar faces at this years event. I think (people) like that local flavor, said McDavid. The intent of festival is to bring folks of the Back Mountain area together. Its a community event to celebrate and rekindle friendships, so when you go out and look at vendors, we like to give priority to vendors in the Back Mountain. The beginning of the fall season welcomes vendors like Braces Orchard in Orange and the Whistle Pig Pumpkin Patch of Noxen to celebrate with some autumnal edibles and decor like apple dumplings and gourds of all shapes and sizes. If youre looking for a sweet treat, The Lands at Hillside Farms, a local favorite, will park its ice cream truck at the grounds to keep in line with the summer season, and local chocolatier Ah!

The Good Gourd Contest of the Dallas Harvest Festival hasnt changed much since it started back in 2006 - it was always an amateur baking contest utilizing fresh or canned pumpkin. This year the contest will carve a new era in the festivals history. The Good Gourd Contest has been changed to an amateur pumpkin and gourd decorating competition. Contest chairperson Karen Fiorello said festival-goers were asking for a change this year to get everyone involved in the fun, including children. We wanted to get all age groups involved and we tried to keep with something in theme with the harvest time of year, and now kids naturally go to pumpkin carving, said Fiorello. The contests rules are laden with safety precautions only certain age groups are allowed to carve. Fiorello said this measure allows children between the ages of 4 and 7 to be safe while decorating at their own skill level. Other age groups include 8 to 10 year olds, 11 to 15 year olds and 16 and older. First, second, third and honorable mention prizes will be awarded within each age group. Fiorello said three judges, in-

cluding two art teachers from local school districts and one from a local art studio, will choose the winners. A $25 prize will be awarded to the first place winner in each age group. Participants creations will be on display at the George M. Dallas Lodge on Main Street throughout the festival. Pumpkin decorators should bring their carved creations to the George M. Dallas Lodge between the hours of 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. for their decor to be judged. Judging will occur at 11 a.m., and winners will be announced on the main stage during the festival. Winners will be photographed in front of the George M. Dallas Lodge on Main Street during the festival. Fiorello said the contest will have a family theme and urges participants to keep that in mind.

The Dallas Harvest Festival has always been able to rock Main Street due to the generous support of local businesses in the Back Mountain. Carol Wall, chairperson of the festival development committee, said businesses really enjoy taking responsibility for certain aspects of the festival, from the Lewith and Freeman Main Stage to the Frontier Communications sponsorship of the Kiss the Pig Contest and new community stage. I cant say Ive ever approached a business that didnt want to participate, Wall said. Businesses continue to sponsor the event every year, part of the reason why the annual event continues. Rich Fufuro, one of the founding members of the fest, said the first year in 2003, due to charging vendors a modest fee, the festival committee broke even on costs. The overarching point in having vendors pay for space is to defray the cost for festival-goers who want to participate in all the fun. Wall said this is especially important when it comes to kids events at the festival. The Committee to Re-Elect Senator Lisa Baker is sponsoring the Kids Corner again, allowing parents to keep the youngsters busy without emptying their wallets. From the beginning, the Dallas Harvest Festival has been about bringing enthusiasm and interest to our own local community, and highlighting things about the Back Mountain, including businesses and our community downtown, said Wall. There are even sponsors that dont always have their name attached to a fixture at the festival Hilberts Equipment and Welding in Dallas helps out by aiding vendors haul materials to and from the grounds. Emmanuel Bus Lines has also jumped on board to offer shuttle services to the festival from the Twin Stacks Shopping Center
along Memorial Highway. Wall said all these donations of time and effort ensure the soaring success of the Dallas Harvest Festival each year. We try to do two things: we try to bring awareness to sponsors and offer publicity as a Back Mountain business and this helps to defray costs of having the event, she said. Dallas Borough also plays a big role in organizing the event, from providing police offers to direct traffic to closing roads in order to keep vendors and the public safe.
