ANEDITIONOF THE TIMES LEADER www.mydallaspost.com WILKES-BARRE, PA.
Rock Stahovic, of Plains, was skepti-
cal at rst. When he found a message on
his answering machine telling him he
had won a grand prize, he wasnt sure
he believed it. I didnt call back right
away, he said.
The message didnt give a whole lot
of information, Stahovic explained. It
said I was the winner of a sweepstakes
through my ShurSave loyalty card.
But Stahovic had never entered a con-
test.
The message said Stahovic had won
100,000 Boxtops for Education which
translates into $10,000 for the school of
his choice.
The message asked him to verify that
he didnt work for Associated Whole-
salers Inc. (the parent company of the
Shursave/Shurne grocery cooperative)
or for General Mills which sponsors the
Boxtops for Education program. The
caller also needed Stahovics age, ad-
dress and the school he would choose to
receive the money.
That was it, Stahovic said.
He and his wife, Robyn, decided not
to respond immediately to the call. Ac-
cording to Robyn, they almost deleted
the message.
But after a week of thinking it over
and doing some Internet research, the
couple decided to return the message.
And are they glad they did!
The Stahovics are winners of the only
prize in a tri-state area that includes
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
They have chosen to donate the $10,000
to their childrens school, the Trucks-
ville Early Childhood Education Center,
afliated with the Trucksville United
Methodist Church.
Once Rock called in the information,
he learned he had been automatically
entered in the tri-state sweepstakes by
using his loyalty card at either Schiels
Market on George Avenue in Wilkes-
Barre or Gerritys in Luzerne. Both
stores issue ShurSave rewards cards and
the winning entry could have come from
either store.
The next step was for the Trucksville
school to send in an afdavit.
Director Marjorie Adams said that ev-
eryone at the school is ecstatic about the
$10K sweepstakes goes to education center
When Alvin Cragle began
his job as secretary-treasurer of
Lehman Twp. 35 years ago, his
ofce technology consisted of a
calculator. He used handwritten
ledgers and disbursements and
all checks were written by hand.
Today, he serves Lehman
Twp. as treasurer and works
from a fully-equipped home of-
ce, equipped by the township
with a personal computer and
all the peripherals and software
he needs. The township also has
a full-time secretary now.
But whether low-tech or high-
tech, the job is one Cragle feels
he does well. I invite anyone to
audit my books at any time, he
said.
Cragle, 77, has lived in Lehm-
an Twp. for 57 years. He and his
wife, Phyllis, both graduated
fromLake-Lehman High School.
When they married, they settled
in the township.
We built our own house,
Cragle said of the house on the
same road his wife grew up that
the couple has lived in since
they were married. Cragle grew
up in Hunlock Creek.
The Cragles raised two sons
in the township. Kevin, and his
wife, Debbie, live in the Falls
area. Todd and his wife, Wanda,
live in Lehman with their two
daughters, Cassandra, a sopho-
more at Wilkes University, and
Taylor, a sixth-grader at Lake-
Lehman Middle School.
Cragle was in the steel busi-
ness when the position of Lehm-
an Twp. treasurer opened. His
boss at the time was council
president in Clarks Summit and
told him, Anytime you have the
opportunity to do community
service, take it.
When that boss, the president
of McGregor Architectural Iron
Company, became ill, he turned
his company over to Cragle to
run. For Cragle, it was a case of
being in the right place at the
right time. But he points out
that it was the wrong time, too,
because of the illness and subse-
quent death of his employer, a
man he greatly admired.
While Cragle pursued his
career, he worked as secretary-
treasurer of Lehman Twp. for 15
years before pleading for help.
Then, the late Jon Rogers took
over the secretarial duties.
Cragle was quick to point out
his valued relationship with Rog-
ers and with township supervi-
sors David Sutton, Raymond
Iwanowski and Douglas W. Ide.
These guys are the best three

The little girl and her best
friend, Sarah, liked most of the
same things - peach pie, pick-
ing pepperoni off pizza and
playing Frisbee.
What made them different
was that Sarah rolled while her
friend walked.
The two met when Sarah
was the new girl at school and
their teacher asked the little
girl to show Sarah around. The
little girl wasnt sure what to
do at rst because Sarah was
in a wheelchair. It wasnt long,
though, before she was pushing
Sarah around the school and
the duo became known to ev-
eryone as two peas in a pod.
The girls loved to go for ice
cream, even though they dif-
fered on avors, and enjoyed
pajama parties where they
hid under the covers and read
spooky stories by ashlight.
I saw only the wheelchair at
rst, the little girl said of her
new best friend. Now, I see
Sarah rst and shes cool.
Sarah and her friend were
introduced to children at the

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE DALLAS POST
Kathleen Pajor, center left, of Luzerne, Russ Keeler, of Kingston, and Gerry Finnerty, of Harveys Lake, jump into 39-degree water at Harveys
Lake for the Polar Bear Plunge to benet the American Cancer Society.
A
s if 33 degree air temperature and 39 degree
water temperature werent cold enough,
Gerry Finnerty dumped six blocks of ice into
Harveys Lake - just to make sure he really was
participating in a Polar Bear Plunge.
Finnerty and about 100 other brave souls weathered
cold, wind and even snow to make the Ninth Annual
Polar Bear Plunge, held March 16 at Garritys Real Es-
tate ofce in Harveys Lake, a success.
Monies raised from the event, which has raised be-
tween $5,000 and $7,000 every year, benet the Ameri-
can Cancer Society. This years organizers were hoping
to top the $7,000 mark.
Started by Allison Boris in 2005 in memory of her fa-
ther, Buddy, who passed away from cancer, the event
has become the senior completion project of Lake-
Lehman students every year since. Only once in the last
nine years was the event cancelled because of weather.

Township supervisors passed
a resolution on March 19 to
adopt consumer reworks regu-
lations.
The state already has laws
regulating the use of reworks,
but the townships resolution
would give it the authority to
require residents to obtain a per-
mit.
The resolution denes con-
sumer reworks as any combus-
tible or explosive composition
or any substance or combina-
tion of substances, intended to
produce visible and/or audible
effects by combustion.
The term doesnt include
ground or hand-held sparklers,
novelties or toy caps.
The resolution was adopted
as a result of complaints from
residents and to set guidelines
for the use of reworks within
the township.
Information required on the
permit application includes the
name, address and phone num-
ber of the applicant; the address
of the site where the reworks
are to be used; the name, ad-
dress and phone number of the
owners or tenants of the site;
and the credentials of the per-
son in charge of the reworks
display.
Fireworks will not be permit-
ted after 11 pm.
They key thing is, if there
are complaints, and there is no
permit, the police can shut it
down, township solicitor Tom
Brennan said of reworks dis-
plays.
If they do have a permit and
they are in violation, theyre shut
down. Were not out to penalize
our citizens. Were just trying to
protect their rights.

D
r. Fred Lub-
now, of Prince-
ton Hydro, an-
nounced at the March
19 meeting of Harveys
Lake Borough Council
that there are two out-
going projects current-
ly in progress.
The Old Lake Road
Project, as well as the
Floating Wetland Is-
land Project should
both be completed in

ing to Lubnow. Dur-
ing the completion of
the Old Lake project,
storm valves will be

in order to remove dirt
and solids, along with
preventing phosphorus
from entering the lake
and fertilizing algae.
The Floating Wetlands proj-
ect will place five floating
wetland islands in various lo-
cations within the lake. Origi-
nally 11 different sites were
selected, but six were elimi-
nated because they contained
pond weed, a rare species of
aquatic plant life.
Lubnow will update citi-
zens of the projects status at
the boroughs April council
meeting.
He will also present a map
and photos of the floating
wetland islands.
In addition, the Harveys

Action Committee holds its
meetings at 7 p.m. on the sec-
ond Tuesday of each month
at the municipal authority
building.
The public is invited to at-
tend one of these meetings to
learn more about the projects.
Councilwoman Michelle
Boice said the borough is pur-
suing the collection of delin-
quent garbage bills and said
something has to be done
regarding unpaid garbage
bills. Boice added that ev-
eryone has to pay their fair
share.
Mayor Clarence Hogan ex-
pressed his appreciation to
Michael Rush for his donation
of four commercial combina-
tion printer/copier/fax ma-
chines to the boroughs police
department.

BOROUGH
DALLAS BOROUGH
By CAMILLE FIOTI
Council unanimously approved a re-
quest Wednesday from Verizon Wireless
to build a cell tower behind the Twin
Stacks Center, but only if 17 conditions
are met.
One of the conditions requires 6-foot
buffer of plants or screening to be placed
along the entire length of the roadway
section bordering the Bluff Pointe town-
houses.
Other conditions include camouag-
ing the tower and supports to blend
into the surroundings, maintain general
liability insurance in the amount of $1
million per incident and property dam-
age insurance also in the amount of $1
million per incident to cover the tower,
antenna and structures.
Verizon Wireless must also obtain -
nal approval from the County Planning
Commission prior to construction.
Three hearings were held since Janu-
ary to hear testimony from Verizon and
opponents of the tower. Last month,
project engineer Andy Petersohn tes-
tied a new tower is needed because
cellphone and wireless device trafc
primarily from students at Misericordia
University is expected to soon over-
whelm existing cell towers and could
slow service for all area subscribers or
even prevent calls from connecting.
In other business, council:
Announced the annual spring clean-
up will be May 6-11 at the municipal
building. The hours of operation will be
7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Fri-
day and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Resi-
dents should contact the borough ofce
for more information.
Announced the curbside yard waste
collection will begin the week of May
13, weather permitting. Residents are
required to pay an annual fee of $25 for
the service.
Authorized a contract with Kuhar-
chik Construction Inc. relating to traf-
c signal improvements at the intersec-
tion of state routes 309 and 415 in the
amount of $41,726.
The borough will hold its annual Eas-
ter Egg Hunt at noon Saturday, March
23 at the Kenneth Young Memorial
Park.

The Dallas Lions Club started its Hometown
Hero Banner Project in 2011 to honor local vet-
erans, both past and present for their service to
our country.
The project was very well received with a lot
of local support and positive comments and, al-
though it was established as a one-year event, the
Lions received many requests for sponsorships af-
ter the cutoff date.
To satisfy those new requests, the Lions Club
extended the project through 2012.
Again in 2012, there were many requests re-
ceived for sponsorships after the cutoff date.
The 2013 cutoff date is March 31 and this will
be the nal year for the Lions Hometown Hero
Banner Project.
As was the case in previous years, all former
banners will be on display with the new 2013 ban-
ners.
Frontier Communications supplies the man-
power to secure and remove the banners to the
poles. Without their support, this endeavor would
not have been possible.
The Lions Club anticipates that, with the 2013
sponsors, there will be approximately 100 banners
throughout the streets of Dallas.
The banners will be displayed from Memorial
Day through Veterans Day. At the conclusion of
this years project, arrangements will be made to
distribute the banners to their sponsors or family
members.
Sponsorship forms are available at Dallas Bor-
ough Ofce, Back Mountain Memorial Library,
Dallas American Legion Post #672 and NAPA
Auto Parts, Dallas.
For additional information, contact project
chairman Don Berlew at 675-4360 or 760-6147 or
any member of the Dallas Lions Club.

What began at Harveys Lake
in 1953 as a small seasonal
restaurant called Joes Pizza has
evolved into a multi-location
business with three restaurants
in Northeast Pennsylvania and
several more out of state.
Known as Grotto Pizza since
1960, the restaurant continues
to thrive in and for its local
community.
Tony DeCosmo, Director of
Marketing, describes the busi-
ness as a hub for
the community
where people
gather for meet-
ings, fundrais-
ers and special
events. For
example, he said,
for the past 17
years, it hosted a
Parade of Trees
fundraisers,
which has raised
almost $150,000
for various chari-
ties since the rst year.
The business supports many
community organizations,
according to owner Armand
Mascioli, such as the F.M.
Kirby Center, Luzerne County
Community Colleges Joseph
A. Paglianite Culinary Institute
(named after Masciolis uncle
and Grotto Pizza founder), chil-
drens sports, Catholic schools,
the local re department and
more.
It recently launched a new
program, Community Fund-
raiser Nights, which allows
non-prot organizations to raise
funds through the restaurant.
The restaurant is also deeply
rooted in the community
through its multi-generations of
workers and loyal customers of
many years.
It is a retail food service
where youre directly serving
your customers, said Mascioli,
explaining what he enjoys must
about running Grotto Pizza.
You kind of get it into your
blood in this business because
its people-oriented.
He added that the work often
involves long
hours that are
always worth it
because of the
large customer
base.
The real
key for us is
that weve been
around since
1953, Mascioli
said. We have
a very loyal
extended base of
customers. Some
of them travel for
many miles to get here.
He said one aspect which
makes the restaurant unique is
the size, accomodating up to
650 people with a full range of
services: private dining, out-
door deck, sports bar, private
catering, take-out and delivery.
He added the restaurant strives
to offer the highest quality and
freshest ingredients, sticking
with its traditional recipes,
while still keeping current with
the menu.
You never forget what youre
good at, he said. Were really
good at our pizza product.

her family. Her

there on week-

her 35th year.
Originally called Joes Pizza, Grotto Pizza, with three locations
in Pennsylvania and several out of state, began in 1953 at Har-
veys Lake. After the original building burned down, the current
one was built and renamed Grotto Pizza in 1960.

This year, Lake-Lehman juniors
Rene Rismondo and Amy Wil-
liams were at the helm, shepherd-
ing plungers through the registra-
tion line, down to the lake and
encouraging them into the water
- all before they took the plunge
themselves.
The 63-year-old Finnerty, of
Harveys Lake, is a cancer survivor
himself, having beaten throat can-
cer seven years ago. He has taken
the plunge all eight years of the
event.
Jumping into a lake in the win-
ter was always on my bucket list,
he laughed.
Kathy Pajor, 54, of Luzerne,
sporting 1920s swimming garb,
said Why not? when asked why
she participates every year. Pajor
went on to admit that shes known
several people affected by cancer
and respects the event because it
helps those aficted with the dis-
ease.
Her daughter, 18-year-old Gil-
lian, remained on shore, all bun-
dled up as her mother made her
way to the water.
She has a braver soul, Gillian
said of her mother, almost admir-
ingly.
Russ Keeler, of Kingston, al-
ways wanted to jump in a frozen
lake and got involved in the Polar
Bear Plunge a few years ago after
participating in an American Can-
cer Society Relay for Life. Once
in the water, Keeler, dressed in a
frilly pink tutu with plastic pink
glasses on his head, remained in
the water for the allowed three
minutes.
Fourteen-year-old Connor Swit-
zer, of Harding, admitted to being
cold already long before he got
near the water while his friend,
Nick Hall, 14, of Shavertown, par-
ticipated in the event, cuz Im
awesome.
Both boys are students at Wyo-
ming Seminary.
Joseph Sharon, 15, of Shaver-
town, plunged last year but admit-
ted it wasnt as cold then. Reports
indicated the air temperature was
in the 40s for last years event.
Sharons friend, 15-year-old J.P.
Natishan, of Shavertown, stood
among a group of boys with his
pants down around his ankles and
a towel wrapped around his shoul-
ders.
From behind, his father, Jerry,
admitted, Thats my kid! but
sees J.P. and his buddies as a
good bunch of boys.
Lake-Lehman Superintendent
Jim McGovern looked a little less
excited about plunging than the
younger boys but did it, nonethe-
less.
The girls organizing this came
to me on Thursday and asked if Id
do it, he said. I couldnt say no.
After being helped out of the
lake, McGovern couldnt get to
his wife, Maureen, and a waiting
towel fast enough.
The sign leads Brave Souls into 39-degree water at Harveys Lake for the Polar Bear Plunge.
Lake-Lehman juniors Rene Rismondo, left, of Lehman Township,and
Amy Williams, of Sweet Valley, organizers of the 2013 Polar Bear
Plunge, give instructions before sounding the horn to start the
rst wave of plungers.

THE DALLAS POST
Sports
By TOMROBINSON
For The Dallas Post
Matthew Edkins merged two sporting
interests together as a young boy.
Six years later, the Lake-Lehman soph-
omore has established himself as one of
the best high school athletes in the state
at his new endeavor.
Edkins earned his second Pennsylva-
nia Interscholastic Athletic Association
state medal in Class AA boys diving
March 14 at Bucknell University with a
third-place nish at the PIAASwimming
and Diving Championships.
The son of Lake-Lehman swimming
coach Nancy Edkins, Edkins was used to
being around the pool when his mother
was coaching the sport at Misericordia
University. After spending four early
years in gymnastics, he took many of the
skills and traits necessary for success in
that sport and brought them back to the
pool.
During gymnastics, I got an injury
with my heel, said Edkins, who made
the switch in 2007. Mom knew a diving
coach and signed me up for that. I kind
of got right into it.
While the Lake-Lehman swimming
program, which does not have its own
pool, struggles, Edkins will jump into
a swim event and do the best he can to
help the team.
His training time, however, goes into
perfecting his skills as a diver. And, that
is where he has been able to help the
Black Knights make an impact at the
state level.
You have to make sure you get all the
ne stuff down before you can get into
the more complex skills, Edkins said.
You just have to practice a lot.
That practice has paid off.
Edkins won District 2 titles in both his
freshman and sophomore seasons. At
Bucknell, Edkins picked up a sixth-place
state nish as a freshman.
I think I was just kind of going to do
my best and the medal was a nice addi-
tion, Edkins said.
Expectations were higher this season.
Especially with my seed, seeded
third, I wanted to make sure I stayed at
my seed or nished higher, he said. Im
happy I did that.
Like top high school athletes in other
sports, Edkins will continue his training
year-round. He coaches and participates
in the Back Mountain Dive Club. That
participation means practice for the en-
tire spring, summer and most of the fall
until high school competition returns in
early December.
Edkins will work the same dives re-
peatedly, trying to perfect them, while
doing abdominal work, push-ups for arm
strength and training to increase his leg
strength and push off from the diving
board.
In essence, he will still perform some
of the same ipping and twisting he
started as a gymnast, only he will land
in water.
Edkins led the way at the state meet
but was not the only Back Mountain
medalist at the PIAA Swimming and
Diving Championships.
Brian Stepniak took seventh in the 50-
yard and 100-yard freestyle events and
was part of a 200 freestyle relay team
that also nished seventh in Class AA
for Dallas. Marcus Wagner, Patrick Gel-
so and Jack Matusiak were also on the
relay team.
Dallas placed ninth in the team stand-
ings out of 60 teams that scored points at
the state level.

S
pecial education
teacher Liz By-
ron, originally
from Dallas, is
giving new meaning to
going the extra mile to
support her students.
This spring, Byron will
run 155 miles through
the Sahara Desert to
raise $50,000 for the ur-
ban public school where
she teaches.
Byron has qualified
to run in Marathon de
Sables (Marathon of
the Sands), a six-day,
155-mile self-supported
ultra-marathon the
equivalent of six consec-
utive marathons con-
sidered the toughest foot
race on the planet.
She is running to raise
funds to buy a classroom set
of laptop computers for her
students at Gardner Pilot
Academy (GPA), a public
school in Boston, MA where
she works as a learning spe-
cialist in GPAs new sixth
grade, as the former elemen-
tary school begins expansion
of a K-8 school.
Byron, 28, was raised
in Dallas and now lives in
Allston, MA. She is a gradu-
ate of Bishop Hoban High
School where she competed
for the Argents in swimming,
volleyball, cross-country,
track and javelin while also
participating in an indoor
soccer league.
She is a 15-time High
School All-American and
Academic-All American, a
Pennsylvania high school
state champion, a five-time
state runner-up and has won
seven other state medals.
She was named All-State
16 times and is a 16-time
high school district champi-
on, making her the most dec-
orated high school district
athlete of all time in North-
eastern Pennsylvania.
While in high school, she
broke or reset more than 75
team and area pool records.
She was named Scholar-
Athlete of her graduating
class, was captain of the
swim team for two years and
finished her high school ca-
reer undefeated in the dual
meet season.
A former member of the
Bloomsburg Area YMCA, she
is a two-time YMCA national
champion, runner-up and has
placed in the top 16 at YMCA
Nationals numerous times.
Her parents, Tom and Joan
Byron, live in Dallas.
Byron began teaching full-
time in 2008. She earned her
undergraduate degree from
Boston College where she
was a four-year Division 1
All-American swimmer and
masters degrees from Har-
vard Graduate School of Edu-
cation and Lesley University.
She has competed in nu-
merous other endurance chal-
lenges, including six mara-
thons, an Ironman triathlon
and several other running,
biking and swimming events.
The race begins in south-
ern Morocco on April 5.
Competitors must carry all
personal belongings and food
for the entire event in their
backpacks, running across
sand dunes and rocky ter-
rain.
Event organizers provide
only water and tents. Even in
early April, midday tempera-
tures in the Sahara can reach
120 F. Only 50-60 of the esti-
mated 800 runners are Amer-
icans, with most competitors
coming from European and
African nations.
All of the funds Byron raise
will go directly to the laptop
initiative.
She is covering all of her
own travel and registration
costs. Marathon Sports is
helping to publicize her ef-
forts.

C
asey McAn-
drew, David
Payne and
Eric Gotow-
eski provided
the leadership for a suc-
cessful season by the Back
Mountain Blackhawks.
The three Dallas High
School students will be
back together on the ice
Friday night when the
Northeast Pennsylvania
Scholastic Hockey League
conducts its All-Star Game
at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
McAndrew, the team captain,
was selected to the all-star team
along with alternate captains
Payne and Gotoweski and Lake-
Lehman student Hunter Hack-
ling. The Blackhawks also had
Tom Brady, an Easton player
who joinedthe teamlast season,
selected and Northwests Logan
Obes listed as an alternate.
McAndrew, Payne and
Gotoweski captained Back
Mountain to a 9-5-0 record and
third place in the varsity stand-
ings. The Blackhawks then
routed Susquehanna Valley, 11-
0, in the quarternals before
having their season end with a
9-3 seminal loss to Wyoming
Valley West.
It was disappointing to lose
in the semis, but it was a good
season, Back Mountain coach
Jack Ciaccia said.
McAndrew centered the top
line.
Hes a well-rounded, excel-
lent hockey player, Ciaccia
said.
Payne played both forward
and defense.
He was tremendous for us in
tough situations, Ciaccia said.
He has a great wrist shot that
is very accurate.
Gotoweski led the defense.
Hes a very physical player,
Ciaccia said. For any team, its
nice to have that physical player
on defense that keeps an offense
on its toes when it tries to enter
your defensive zone.
Hackling played defense.
Ciaccia praised his all-around
ability, including his work on
the special teams.
The Blackhawks drewplayers
from eight school districts on
the varsity level and six on the
junior varsity level where about
half the team was made up of
Tunkhannock players.
Most of the teams games
were played at the Revolution
Ice Centre in Pittston, although
some games were also held at
the Coal Street Complex in Wil-
kes-Barre.
Dylan Pilger, Eric Yenchack
and goalie Corey McAndrew
were the other Dallas players on
the varsity roster.
John Butler, Alex Hoyt and
Jimmy Loead were the other
varsity players fromLake-Lehm-
an.
The Blackhawks also had
some swing players, who were
available for both the var-
sity and junior varsity rosters.
Those players included Patrick
Newhart and Liam Barrett from
Dallas, J.P. Natishan and Zacha-
ria Ouladelhadjahmed from
Lake-Lehman and Paul Ciaccia,
a home-schooled student from
the Lake-Lehman district.
The junior varsity team had
similar results, nishing third
in the standings with an 8-3-1
record and winning a quarter-
nal playoff before losing in the
seminals.
The JV team included J.D.
Barrett from Dallas and Drew
Poslock from Lake-Lehman.

supervisors Ive worked with,
he said. I dont want this article
to shine on Alvin. I dont want to
take credit for the successes of
the township.
He said that working with the
supervisors has been a pleasure.
Ninety-nine point nine percent
of the time they tell me to pro-
ceed when I come to them with
a plan, he said. I have to give
them credit for allowing me to
do my job.
Cragle also believes that poli-
tics has little to do with his work.
You have to put the politics in
the background when serving
the public.
One of Cragles biggest chal-
lenges in the last 35 years was
the lack of property reassess-
ment. Before reassessment, the
townships tax schedule was set
at 16 mills for 15 to 20 years.
Cragle said that, without a cur-
rent reassessment, funds were
very limited. We could only do
paving and patch work.
When township properties
were reassessed four years ago,
property values went from $10
million to $300 million and mill-
age dropped to .57. Current mill-
age in the township is 1.45.
With more funds available,
more projects were possible.
Were attempting to do more
paving, Cragle said.
He also cited a recent upgrade
of the municipal building. We
had an energy-efciency grant
from the federal government.
The municipal building was re-
done inside and out.
Cragle is also pleased with the
townships new six-bay building
for the transportation depart-
ment. The building features
amenities for road workers, in-
cluding a kitchenette and stor-
age room. He pointed out that,
after it was done, the building
was almost debt-free. And, he
said, the building would save
the township money in the long
run.
We get four to six years of ad-
ditional life out of equipment by
getting it out of the weather, he
said.
In Cragles view, the future of
Lehman Twp. as a great place to
live is both secure and bright.
We have our own zoning and
planning commission, he said.
Weve put in our regulations so
that we dont get a whole lot of
population in one area.
He enjoys his work for the
township and cites no hobbies,
saying his township work takes
up his time.
It has kept my mind going
and keeps me busy.
The secretary, road depart-
ment and police department
members recently threw a party
for Cragle to celebrate his 35th
anniversary with the township.
It was nice to be with them,
he said.
And the township treasurer
isnt done yet as he would like to
continue working for the town-
ship.
Theres a couple of years left
in me.

Ava DeMark, Emily Smith, Teague Stahovic, Charlotte Guilford, Maya Gross and Tait Stahovic

family from Plains took the additional step to enter the national contest and won $10,000,
which they donated to the school.

said. You hear about people
winning things, but you never
know anyone who does.
The Stahovics have request-
ed the money directly benet
students at the school and Ad-
ams said the school board is
still in the planning stages of
how the money will be used.
Robyn said there was never
any doubt which school they
would choose to receive the
winnings. Both she and Rock
have high praise for the school
where their children attend a
play group and preschool.
Teague, 3, is in Mrs. Scian-
dras play group and Tait, 5, is
a student in Mrs. Strutkos pre-
school class.
Our oldest has been out
there for three years since he
was 2, said Rock, crediting
the school for the transforma-
tion Tait has gone through.
My wife and I cant take all
the credit for his maturity. The
school did it for him.
Rock also praised the
schools staff. The school has
been excellent from the top
down, praising Adams, the
nance department and the
teachers.
You actually know the
teachers and they get to know
your childs strengths and
weaknesses, he added. There
is individual teaching between
them and your child.
The Stahovics want all the
emphasis of the lucky win to
be on the children. We dont
want to turn this into Rock and
Robyn. This is about the chil-
dren. Were not seeing a penny
from this, Rock said.
Adams was grateful to the
Stahovics for their choice.
We have so many families
like that who go above and be-
yond for the school, she said.

disabilities and autism.
The girls andtheir personalities jumped
off the pages of Best Friends on Wheels
by Debra Shirley read to the children by
Wegrzynowicz in celebration of March be-
ing Intellectual Disabilities Month.
Wegrzynowicz also read My Brother
Charlie, written by Holly Robinson Peete
and Ryan Elizabeth Peete about a young
boy with autism, a developmental disor-
der that appears in the rst three years of
life, affecting the brains normal develop-
ment of social and communication skills.
Through this book, the Head Start
students, who all live within the Lake-
Lehman School District, learned that
Charlie and his twin brother were born
two minutes apart but that Charlie always
struggled because his brain works in dif-
ferent ways.
Charlie knows lots of things, like the
names of all the United States presidents,
but he communicates differently from his
brother.
Charlie has autism, his twin brother
said. But autism doesnt have Charlie.
Head Start student Addyson Jacobs re-
lated to Charlie when talking about her
friend Joey, an early intervention student
who, along with his fellowstudents, visits
the Head Start classroom once a week.
When asked if Joey is different from
her, Addyson stammered, No. Hims just
Joey!

Donna Light, head teacher at the Back
