Dr. Mark Stair of the Trucksville Dog and Cat Hospital said dogs, cats and other small animals are not immune to the winter chill, despite their furry coating.
Stair said because many pets stay indoors much of the time, they are adapted to warmer climates. He said animals have a higher body temperature than humans between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit and need more energy to maintain that during the winter months. This means pups need to eat more during these chilly months. Just like in humans, paws can be prone to frostbite, but Stair said human handlers should be cautious of snow and ice removal tactics, too. Rock salt can cause problems for dogs and cats. Not only can the chemicals burn the sensitive pads on paws, but if the common de-slicking agent is ingested, a trip to the veterinarian might be in order. Stair said keeping pets indoors most of the time is a good way to protect them from the cold. Larger dogs with thicker fur coats, such as a husky or Samoyed, can withstand cold temperatures longer, but he doesnt recommend keeping animals outside during winter. If they are outside, though, they should have a shelter thats insulated maybe with See FURRY, Page 9

Remember to keep furry friends warm

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com
As temperatures dip lower and heating bills get higher, animal care experts offer a simple reminder furry friends get cold, too. Dr. Mark Stair of the Trucksville Dog and Cat Hospital said dogs, cats and other small animals are not immune to the winter chill, despite their furry coating. Probably a common misconception is that they can tolerate cold weather a lot better than they actually can, he said. Some people think of them like wildlife and theyre notCold weather can be as harsh on them as it is on people.
straw, blankets, something thats going to not allow the heat loss and with an opening maybe thats covered and facing away from prevailing winds, he said. Stair said those who enjoy pampering their pets with designer duds are helping them stay warm, especially smaller pups and those with shorter fur. Even two pairs of booties can protect animals from getting frostbite or dealing with rock salt, but it depends on whether the dog is on board with the frisky footwear.

Around the world food tour

Lake-Lehman high school students took friends, family and fellow classmates on a culinary trip around the world on Dec. 1. The humanities students participated in an international dinner as part of a class project in which they created a menu, assembled costumes and performed a skit to represent their choice of country. Humanities teachers Stacey Rubby and Brian Gorski oversaw the smallest class ever in the history of the annual celebration. Eighteen students participated this year, and Rubby said most years boast a class of 40 or more. They are so excited, said Rubby. Its such a small group but the response was overwhelming. This year, students chose to represent Korea, Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands. Rubby said Ireland has been part of the international dinner before, but the other three are new-
comers to the celebration. Ashley Rood, of Sweet Valley, would never have had the opportunity to learn about Korea had she not chosen it for the project. Its a very simple culture, but its also very beautiful, she said. The 15-year-old helped a neighbor design the costumes she and her friends wore during the dinner. I had to find so many pictures of all different angles and buy the material, said Rood. She donned a long, high-waisted purple satin skirt and a longsleeved white wraparound dress shirt. Its really beautiful, she said. Alex Hoyt, of Shavertown, passed out helpings of potato soup and cheese puffs to teach others about Dutch food. It was a lot of fun, said the 15-year-old of working on the project. I learned how to cook. He and his friends wore baggy pants and newsboy caps to replicate Dutch garb. The students bought the costumes from a local seller, Costumes by Barbara, in Luzerne. Across the library, students
The Knights of the Round Table program is gearing up for its second year at the Lake-Lehman School District, and Superintendent James McGovern hopes this years inductees will inspire greatness into students and the community. The Knights of the Round Table program started last year as a way to honor Lake-Lehman alums and present students with examples of local leaders. McGovern hopes to get the community more involved in the program this year by inviting locals to provide nominations for this years inductees. Anyone can visit the program website, which can be found by logging on to the districts website (www.lake-lehman.k12.pa.us) and filling out a nomination form. Even though the site wasnt available last year, McGovern said about 20 nomination forms were received for the program. The superintendent added that memorabilia from honorees will be collected to be displayed in a glass case in the lobby of the junior/senior high school. If you dont understand where you come from, how do you know where you are going? asked McGovern. Last years start eclipsed anything we could hope for, said McGovern. Four meritorious inductees and six honorary inductees and their families
Last years inductees included graduates Frederick Brown, Harriet Litrenta, Joseph Kishkill and Julie Napieralski. Their biographies and more information about the Knights of the Round Table program can be found at http://lake-lehman.k12.pa.us.

put traditional and modern spins on Finnish culture. Kahli Kotulski, of Harveys Lake, said Finland is primarily an agricultural country. One student wore overalls to represent farmers today while others wore peasant clothes to signify farmers from a few centuries ago. The menu was a tad difficult, as the students didnt want to offer some of the food thats prevalent in the Nordic country. There (are) a lot of fish dishes there, but we didnt want to offer fish at the dinner, said Kotulski. The students found a few dishes featuring chicken and also made kir finlandais, a traditional Finnish sparkling beverage
made with black currant juice. Cooking was a lot of fun, she said. Rubby said the dinner is a culmination of all the research and hands-on work students dedicated to the project, which began in September. We dont get to do this in class very often, she said. This accentuates that culture for them and they get to live it for the day. They are so proud with their family and friends around. Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School Principal Doug Klopp was surprised to know the group was the smallest ever to host the dinner. These kids never cease to amaze me, he said.

were part of the ceremonies. The Lake-Lehman Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to support the district, also offers a scholarship in the name of the program. Its a tremendous teaching opportunity for us, Mcgovern said. McGovern said the program goes beyond what state standards require of students by celebrating what others have done beyond those measures after graduating from the school. If youre going to say youre an educational family, when people leave here you just cant forget about them, he said. McGovern is trying to involve other organizations with the program to ensure its continuation beyond his tenure at the district. You see these programs continue if you have people who are taking a significant ownership to it, he said. The programs goal is to show students specific examples of greatness, hoping to inspire young people to follow their dreams. Greatness, to me, is doing what I enjoy every single day and Im able to parlay what I enjoy into a career, McGovern said. He also said success isnt dependent on ones employment, either. McGovern believes greatness can be defined in four elements independence, perseverance, generosity and community. Not everybody is going to be a scientist, not everybody is going to be a lawyer or a doctor, he said. No matter what you do in life, if you do it well and you keep others in mind, thats the hardest thing to do its also being comfortable with yourself.

DALLAS BOROUGH
Storm water issues addressed

Discussions have begun with the state Department of Environmental Protection to address storm water and other issues relating to Toby Creek, the borough manager announced at a meeting Dec. 21. Borough Manager Tracey Carr said she, the borough engineer and road department members met with DEP officials on Dec. 12 to gather preliminary information for a permit to conduct creek maintenance at the boroughs expense. She said she would have to provide information about sediment levels over time to apply for the project. Carr also said because the borough does not own any land along Toby Creek, full participation of residents living near the proposed work area would be needed to move forward. She said DEP officials recommended participation in a Growing Greener program, which would help defray the expense of the work involved. The area involved stretches from Leggios Italian Ristorante on East Center Hill Road to the center of the borough. Not everyone has problems with storm water who live along Toby Creek, but weve had residents address council about certain issues, said Carr. We have to figure out what we need to do, whether we clean it out or deepen it in that area. In other news, council Adopted the 2012 budget, keeping property taxes steady at1.28 mills.

Earlier this year, council was granted approval from the Luzerne County Court to decrease council size from seven to five. The process is staggered, said Carr, and will be complete in two years.

A holiday home away from home

Finding good help to care for ones furry companions can be stressful during the holiday season, but local pet care pros make sacrifices to keep loved ones safe and their tails wagging. Cheryl Colgan, of Dallas Township, is the NEPA Pet Nanny by trade, and her schedule is off-the-charts busy during key vacation months. Summers and winter holidays are times best spent with family and friends or in a beach setting, but her merry mingling is done with shorter, four-legged folks. I wanted to do something where I could control my schedule, said Colgan of starting her pet sitting business. When I was looking for someone to take care of my own animals, I could only find one professional sitter in the area. So Colgan, who is originally from New Jersey, got into the business of pet tending herself while maintaining her day job as an office manager. But shes no stranger to being around little creatures shes got seven cats and one dog of her own. Luckily, my husband works from home so hes there to care for the animals, she said. Colgans side job also affects her own vacations. Because shes often swamped with cli-
Some people bring presents for their dogs to open on Christmas day, so we do that.
Suzanne Haas Owner of Kennelwick
ents during those peak getaway months, she often finds herself planning trips during the off-season, like in March. And when I go away, I cant go with my husband because he has to take care of the animals, she said. So there will be a time when hell go away with his friends and then Ill go away with mine. This Christmas, the Colgans kept their pet appointments while celebrating the season. My husband is Jewish, so he doesnt have to worry about Christmas, said Colgan. Im able to drive to my familys house in New Jersey for a few hours on Christmas day. In Franklin Township, the Haases manage what clients tend to call Camp Kennelwick. Suzanne Haas started the dog kennel about 16 years ago after she realized how much she enjoyed caring for others pets over the years. Now she maintains a 12-stall kennel behind her house on Lockville Road a place she calls her little piece of heaven. Im here all the time and I enjoy being here, she said.
Cheryl Colgan, of Dallas, is the owner and operator of NEPA Pet Nanny, a professional home pet-sitting service. Shown here with her is her cat Shelby.
Though finding time to break away from the business can be straining (all vacations need to be booked a year in advance), the Haases take full advantage of the time off perhaps to the extreme. For example, Suzannes husband George is recovering from breaking his arm while the pair was whitewater rafting in Africa earlier this year. We like to do exciting things because we dont get to leave very often, said George Haas. The couple has been to Africa twice to Tanzania and Zambia - and they proudly display pictures from their trip to the Galapagos Islands.
The Haases use a live-in sitter to care for their two dogs, three cats and horse while away, and they close the kennel completely when they leave. Family time is usually spent at the Haas home in Orange, or the couple makes plans to sneak away for a few hours at a time. Sometimes we can fit a movie in, but its never dinner and a movie, laughed Suzanne Haas. At Christmastime, the Haases spend a quiet day at the house and give special treats to their boarders to spread a little cheer. Some people bring presents for their dogs to open on Christmas day, so we do that, she said.
Emily Bogdon wins PennDOT art contest

HARVEYS LAKE BOROUGH
Council gives up pay

By SUSAN BETTINGER Dallas Post Correspondent
Out of more than 900 entries, Wycallis Elementary fifth-grader Emily Bogdon was one of 22 students in the state to win the state Department of Transportation Aviation Art Contest in December. PennDOT spokesman James May and district executive George Roberts presented an award to Bogdon on Dec. 15 during the fifthgrade class holiday play. The contest awards two winners in each of PennDOTs 11 statewide districts. District 4-0 includes Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Pike and Wayne counties. Bogdons drawing depicts a girl holding a paper airplane as a real aviation craft flies above her. She said her father helped her develop the idea for the drawing. The contest theme this year was Aviations Value to My Community and May said the contest aims to get
young students interested in the various career paths available in aviation. Bogdon was awarded a certificate and a poster-sized version of her drawing. Another drawing was presented to Principal Paul Reinert for display in the school. A third poster was on display in the state capitol building in Harrisburg for a week. Thats so amazing, said Bogdon of her artwork exhibit in the capitol building. Reinert said the award proves Wycallis students are exceptional within the walls of the school and beyond. Were extremely proud, he said. The entire school is honored to recognize one of our brightest kids. Reinert said he wasnt aware of any another student at Wycallis who has won this award in the past.

Borough Council on Tuesday night adopted a $1,313,525 budget for 2012 without raising taxes. Instead, council members will forgo their monthly stipends for the year to help eliminate a deficit. The seven council members are paid a total of $13,105 a year. The expected expenses for 2012 are $1,327,131, leaving a $13,606 deficit. Last years budget was $1,336,675. Council President Francis Kopko noted that council members would not take any pay for the year, and the budget itself notes there is no money under councils pay. According to Kopko, residents who are delinquent with their real estate taxes and/or trash collection fees are a major reason for the deficit. In other business Mayor Clarence Hogan announced that among the traffic stops over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, 86 resulted in tickets for not wearing seatbelts, three in DUIs and one in drug charges. Council member Richard Williams III reported work is still
under way on Old Lake Road. Williams also said the trucks are ready to go for the winter weather. Hemlock Gardens resident Millie Monk asked council to consider returning to the former no-burn ordinance. She said people are burning plastic, paper and other items near the complex, creating a health problem for those with ailments such as asthma. She also mentioned people are leaving debris near the buildings. The following outgoing members of council received plaques of appreciation for their service to the community: Richard Williams III and Ryan Doughton, both for two years of service; Carole Samson for four years of service and Diane Dwyer for eight years of service. Dwyer said she has learned so much about the government and has become well versed during her eight years on the council. She added she will continue her involvement in community affairs, even after she leaves her position. Hogan announced plans to open community ice skating at Sandy Beach sometime near the end of January or beginning of February.

Misericordia University Campus Safety Officer Thomas Matinas, of Swoyersville, retired in December after more than 21 years of befriending students, faculty and staff and patrolling the more than 124-acre campus in the Back Mountain. Matinas quickly earned the nickname, Ticket Tom, due to the frequency in which he issued parking tickets and enforced parking regulations on campus. Matinas also ardently patrolled the upper and lower campus to ensure campus safety and oftentimes directed guests to the proper location on campus for various cultural and academic events. The campus community recognized Matinas and his wife, Carol, at a surprise retirement party at T.C. Rileys Pub & Inn in Trucksville on Nov. 30.

JOAN HARRIS DANCERS COLLECT TOYS
Supervisors adopted the 2012 budget on Dec. 22, stabilizing taxes for the upcoming year. Supervisor Al Fox said property taxes will remain at 1.32 mills, but getting there wasnt an easy process. He said increased expenses forced the board to make cuts throughout the budget in order to keep the tax rate steady. A mill is $1 tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value. Expenses in the township increased by about $185,000 between last year and this year, and Fox said slight cuts were made to every budget item, which resulted in an overall savings of about $47,000. He said the move actually created more revenue than if the board had hiked the tax rates. Fox also wanted residents to know the cuts did not affect the townships various services, including police, fire and ambulance and a full-time secretary to handle zoning and other inquiries. There have been some tightening of the belts this year, said Chairman John Wilkes Jr. I dont like to use the word cuts, but we made the budget leaner. The only increase residents
will see is a $20 hike in sewer rates. Fox said over the past three years the township has been able to absorb rate increases from the Dallas Area Municipal Authority, but this year it just wasnt possible. In other news Residents questioned the board about a sewer replacement project that has been ongoing for two years. Resident Mitch Smolow asked why the project on Bulford Road was being paid for by those residents. He said there are rumors swirling about how the supervisors are handling the project. Solicitor Jeff Malak said the project benefits mostly those 19 residents affected by the project, and the township is splitting some of the costs for the work, including engineering fees and road repairs. Fox added no grants were available for the project and state Department of Environmental Protection officials recommended the financial plan as the only viable way to get the work done. Fox also said a meeting was held with those residents prior to construction and most agreed with how the process would be handled financially. Wilkes said the reason a municipal sewer system is being constructed in the development
is because there were many failures of the existing system, and the township didnt want individual residents to pay thousands of dollars to replace the sewers. He said the area is one of a few spots in the township that is not part of the municipal sewer system. Youre going to be seeing this a lot more in municipalities, Malak said about the cost-splitting plan. The board also wished Supervisor Tim Evans a speedy recovery. Evans has been absent from municipal meetings for about a month due to an extended illness, said Wilkes. Wilkes also made a plea for residents to become involved on the townships various community boards, such as the zoning hearing board, the planning commission, the recreation board and the SCI Dallas Citizens Committee. He said the township has been seeking letters of interest for more than two months, and very few residents have expressed interest in the position. These boards are taxed, said Wilkes. We need residents to serve. The boards reorganization meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3 in the municipal building with the regular monthly meeting to follow.

Supervisors Ted Dymond, Michael Prokopchak and William Miller voted in favor of a $288,625 spending plan that Prokopchak said would result in an average additional cost of $4.16 per township parcel. The budget increases the tax millage to .6 of a mill, from the current .58 mill. A mill equals $1 in tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. Prokopchak noted the budget was basically the same as last year. He said both revenues and expenses had remained relatively flat.
The Dallas Alzheimers Support Group will meet at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan.5 in the board room of the Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center,4 E. Center Hill Rd., Dallas.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver It was American essayist Logan Pearsall Smith who made the following sage observation: It is the wretchedness of being rich that you have to live with rich people. The word avocado is derived from a South American Indian word that means testicle. When the miniskirt was introduced to the world in the 1960s, the reaction was swift and often harsh. Women who wore them in the Malagasy Republic were sentenced to 10 days in jail. Congolese police arrested 300 women for wearing the new style, and Egyptian law branded the garment as indecent. In Caracas, Venezuela, the clergy got involved; churches admonished women to give up their minis or be condemned to hell. Perhaps the seeming overreaction wasnt entirely unjustified, considering the effect the miniskirt had in some places. It was reported that two women wearing minis caused a twohour traffic jam in downtown Cairo, and a 63-year-old man in Rio De Janeiro was sentenced to three days in jail after biting the legs of the miniskirt-clad woman seated next to him on a bus.
The air was filled with the scent of Irish Spring soap practically to an overpowering degree. But the fifth grade students at Westmoreland Elementary School didnt seem to mind as they carved their very own duck heads from the soap, using a wooden Popsicle stick to wear away ONLY at the bars. YESTERDAY The children were led by visiting artist Terry Rutter, of Southern New Jersey. Some of the students who participated in the art project were: Stefanie Simoncavage of Dallas, Nicole Yuknavage of Shavertown; Katie Russ of Wyoming; and Rachel Hiller. The Shavertown Branch of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital recently held a holiday party in St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Shavertown. Members enjoyed a covered dish luncheon and participated in an upbeat music program. Those in attendance were: Evelyn Eck, Evelyn Shales, Joan Emanuel, Ann Covert, Marion Stookey, Esther Armitage, Ruth Shortz, Jessie Beckerman, Evelyn Daley, Elma Price, Marion Kunigonis, Ruth Shotwell, Eleanor DAmario, Sally Sieber, Pauline Clewell, June Bennett, Beth Kleiner and Bethia King.

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST
Lola, a one-eyed rescue cat, finds comfort and a warm couch next to a wood-burning stove at The Lands at Hillside Farms.
FURRY
Theyre fine, as long as the dog leaves them on. He also said keeping animals properly hydrated is essential water dishes left outside can result in one big ice cube for Fido. Large animals tend to work together to keep warm. When one steps into the cow barn at The Lands at Hillside Farms in Trucksville, the temperature change is apparent its at least 20 degrees warmer. Is there a special heating system used for the facility? Nope, said barn manager Chuck Deome, just 98 cows with 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit body temperatures in close proximity. Fans are actually needed to keep fresh air in the barn and keep the climate around 50 degrees Fahrenheit a temperature both Jersey and Holstein cows find agreeable. But one little Holstein calf still wears a special coat. Faith, born a month earlier than ex-
pected in November, has to wear a coat and stay under a heat lamp for the time being. Other calves remain under the lamp for two weeks and wear jackets for about two weeks. When she (Faith) was born, she didnt have any hair, just a little velvet coating, said Deome, who raised Faith at his home until she could muster barn life. Though the cows cant graze while the fields are covered in snow, theyre fed a special diet to keep their weight up and are given a chance to walk around in a pen in the barn if they get restless. Deome said the horses are outside every day and their barn has no heating system, either. He said they can withstand temperatures to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the barns doors and windows are closed tight at night to keep warm air in. Its the drafts that will get them, he said. Cats on the farm take advantage of the extra hay on the premises, too. Deome said cats are often found sleeping in the horse barn in an overhang, or manger, where hay is abundant.

tate cancer screening, citing false-positive results and subsequent unnecessary cancer treatment. The USPSTF reported similar grounds when, in 2009, it recommended decreasing breast cancer screening for women. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed nonskin cancer in U.S. men, and one in 36 men in the U.S. will die of prostate cancer. Risk factors for prostate cancer include age, race and family history. The American Cancer Societys guidelines for prostate cancer specify that the discussion between a man and his physician regarding prostate cancer should take place between ages 40 and 50, based on the level of risk and family history of prostate cancer. House Resolution 523 is awaiting consideration by the House Health Committee.
