cots will also be on hand.
Bartolai Winery will provide
samples of its wine at the event

permarket will cater refresh-
ments.
The event is free and open to
the public.
Following the conclusion

tain Historical Association
will feature a presentation
on the silent movie industry
in the Wyoming Valley by F.
Charles Petrillo and Dr. Nor-
een OConnor in Lemmond
Theater on the campus of Mi-
sericordia University.
Participants will learn the
history of the United State Mo-
tion Picture Corporation which
was located in Forty Fort. The
company provided several
dozen silent movie comedies
between 1915 and 1920 under
the Black Diamond and Rain-
bow Comedy brand labels.
Following the presentation,
refreshments will be served in

Ask us how we can help you fall asleep,
stay asleep, and get more good quality,
deep sleep within one week!
Poor quality sleep is frequently attributed
to a magnesium deciency. Dont worry,
most people have a magnesium shortage.
In fact, 80% of the American population is
Magnesium decient, often causing a lack
of quality, restful sleep.
So what is Magnesium Glycinate?
It is a natural and effective mineral that
plays a vital role in over 300 biochemical
reactions in the body and is crucial for the
proper function of nerves, muscles, bones
and blood vessels. Having a
Magnesium Glycinate deciency can
cause imbalances in an array of essential
health functions. Taking 1-2 capsules of
our pure Magnesium Glycinate
supplement at bedtime will not only put
many of your sleep problems to rest, it
may also help alleviate many other
troublesome ailments!
Anxiety Chest Pains Hiccups Leg Cramps Muscle Spasms
Fatigue Migraines Stress Exhaustion Constipation
Depression Kidney Stones High Blood Pressure
Menstrual Cramps/PMS Osteoporosis
Because good quality sleep is critically
important to good health, we are offering a
FREE Seven Day Trial
of Magnesium Glycinate
to anyone who would like to try this natural,
non-prescription drug remedy. Please consult your
pharmacist regarding your individual needs.

OUTSTANDING ENTRY
IN LOCAL HISTORY AWARD
Nick Egan, Alex Hoyt, Chris Her-
rick
ment to learning was proven by
Misericordia University in the
naming of its campus perform-
ing arts center as the Lemmond
Theater and by Wilkes Uni-
versity which awarded him an
honorary Doctorate of Humane
Letters.
His faith kept him active with
the Dallas United Methodist
Church, the Wyoming Con-
ference of United Methodist
Churches and the Back Moun-
tain Mens Ecumenical Break-
fast which he co-founded. For
more than 30 years, Lemmond
and his family hosted the Nay-
lor/Lemmond Memorial Com-
munity Thanksgiving Dinner
which brought holiday warmth
and cheer to thousands of area
residents. He especially enjoyed
his service on the Commission
on Economic Opportunitys
Board of Directors and took
seriously its motto of People
Helping People. The Salvation
Army also benetted from his
good works where he was well
known for his support of its an-
nual kettle drive and was once
honored as Citizen of the Year.
His impact on the quality of
life of the region can also be
seen through projects such as
the Back Mountain Trail, the
Back Mountain Recreation Fa-
cility, the Charles D. Lemmond
Jr. Community Playground and
safety enhancements to State
Route 309, the Back Mountains
main business corridor.
Sen. Lemmond died Wednes-
day, May 30, 2012, at the age of
83. He is survived by his wife,
Barbara; sons, Charles, John
and David; daughter, Judith;
brother, George; and four grand-
children.

Im doing now, Novrocki said
of Tarantini, who was affection-
ately known as Ms to her His-
tory Day students. I take every-
thing she taught me and put it
into practice.
The bigggest difference Nov-
rocki has made in History Day
preparation at Lake-Lehman is
the institution of a school-level
contest, something he learned
from Tarantini.
In those contests, the higher
levels of competition are repli-
cated with three judges doing
the questioning and interview-
ing. After that school-level con-
test, the best projects move on
to regional competition.
History Day provides stu-
dents with an incredible level of
self condence, Novrocki said.
There are no strict guidelines.
They only have to adhere to a
national theme but they shape
and build their projects. They
become masters of their topics.
Despite all that History Day
offers to students, Novrocki is
concerned that academic con-
tests at public schools are being
threatened with budget cuts.
Funding is harder and harder
to come by, he said. The num-
ber of participating schools and
the number of projects present-
ed at the regional level is much
lower than it was two or three
years ago. It concerns me as a
public school teacher to think
that academic contests may be-
come available only to private
schools.
Novrocki added that Lake-
Lehman is one of the few public
schools to continue participa-
tion in History Day competition
and reported that administra-
tors are already talking about
how to overcome budget cuts to
allow students to continue par-
ticipating in academic contests.

LAKE-LEHMAN REGIONAL HISTORY DAY
WINNERS
CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST
Karlee Kreller, a third-grade student at Ross Elemenatry School
in Sweet Valley, is one of three students at the school whose
handwriting sample is a state-grade level winner in the Zaner-
Bloser Handwriting Contest. State grade winners win a prize
package for themselves and their schools with a value of $250.
During the month of January,
students in grades 1-6 at Ross
participated in the National
Zaner-Bloser Handwriting
Contest. Teachers selected one
winner from each grade level.
Those entries were then submit-
ted to Zaner Bloser.
The school won an award
in 2009 but James is very sur-
prised to have three students
win this year.
None of this matters to 7-year-
old Sarah Bednarek. Its fun
writing as neat as you can - per-
fect, purrs the pert rst-grader,
who won one of the awards. Im
sometimes nervous but try not
to shake my hand - ever.
Karlee Kreller, a third-grade
winner, gets very involved in
the process. I love looping the
letters. (Her favorites are L or
M). Its like a habit. I love it so
much. A lot better than math or
science; its relaxing, she said.
Krellers teacher, Jeremy Wil-
liams, spends 15 minutes to a
half an hour three times a week
on handwriting and nds that
students with good penmanship
are generally good writers and
like to take time to compose and
write their essays.
This years contest essay
question How does your
handwriting make you a better
reader and writer and why is
that important? was succinctly
answered by one of the contes-
tants at the school with So if I
write a book, theyll be able to
read it.
But the act of handwriting
itself has taken a back seat to
banging out stories on key-
boards and into Ipads and IPods.
This is in stark contrast to the
days in the last century when
penmanship was one of the ba-
sic Rs s in reading, riting and
rithmetic and was taught every
day in school.
Then, teachers used to have
penmanship contests. Now, they
are considering having students
take the PSSA state evaluation
tests on computers rather than
on paper with pencils. James
thinks its only a matter of time
before technology will make
handwriting obsolete.
Andrew Jubis, the sixth-grade
winner at the school, doesnt
think about that much.
Sometimes I print, some-
times I write or type. I dont
really think about it, he said.
This is my last year in this
school and Im trying to make
it the best year. Im proud. The
kids cheered for me when they
heard I won the prize.
The three winning students
received an engraved medallion,
the students teacher received
an engraved glass diamond and
the school received a $200 gift
certicate to Zaner Bloser for
each student.
The winning entries will com-
pete at the national level and be
notied of the results in May.

* On April 18, 1775, Paul
Revere and William Dawes set
out on horseback from Boston
to warn leaders Samuel Adams
and John Hancock that British
troops were marching on Con-
cord on a mission to conscate
the Massachusetts militia ar-
senal and capture Adams and
Hancock.
* On April 19, 1876, a Wichi-
ta, Kan., commission votes not
to rehire policeman Wyatt Earp
after he beats up a candidate
for county sheriff. Earps Rem-
ington pistol made an effective
club: Whenever possible, he
preferred to pistol-whip his op-
ponents rather than shoot them.
* On April 16, 1897, Freder-
ick Winterbotham, one of Brit-
ains top code breakers, is born.
Winterbotham would play a
decisive role in the World War
II Ultra code-breaking project,
enabling British intelligence to
intercept top-secret messages
(even from Hitler) transmitted
to and between German armed
forces.
* On April 21, 1930, a re
at an Ohio prison kills 320 in-
mates, some of whom burn to
death when they are not un-
locked from their cells. The
prison, built to hold 1,500 peo-
ple, housed 4,300 prisoners at
the time of the re.
* On April 15, 1947, Jackie
Robinson, age 28, becomes
the rst black player in Major
League Baseball when he steps
onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn,
N.Y., to compete for the Dodg-
ers. Baseball had been segregat-
ed for more than 50 years.
By Samantha Weaver
* It was pioneering British di-
rector of suspense lms Alfred
Hitchcock who made the fol-
lowing sage observation: The
length of a lm should be di-
rectly related to the endurance
of the human bladder.
* If youre an arachnophobe,
you probably dont want to
know that a tarantula can live
for up to two years without eat-
ing a single thing.
* If youre like the average
American man with a job, you
spend 8 minutes per day cook-
ing. If youre like the average
American woman who works,
you spend 50 minutes a day pre-
paring meals.
* There are four times more
astrologers than astronomers in
the United States.
* You may not think it signi-
cant that in 1921, Earle Dick-
sons wife had a tendency to in-
jure herself while working in the
kitchen. He kept bandaging her
wounds with gauze and adhe-
sive tape, but the bandages al-
ways seemed to be slipping off.
Finally, in exasperation, he put a
small piece of gauze in the cen-
ter of a piece of adhesive tape,
which worked beautifully. None
of this would have made any
difference to us today, except
that Dickson was an employee
of Johnson & Johnson. He took
some samples of his invention
into work, where the owner,
James Johnson, loved the idea.
The Band-Aid went into produc-
tion shortly thereafter.
