AN EDITION OF THE TIMES LEADERwww.mydallaspost.comWILKES-BARRE, PA.

Sir Isaac Newton said that a falling apple taught him the law of gravity.Andtoday, Apple iPads are helping Dal-las Middle School students learn aboutNewtons laws of motion.

Sam Barboses sixth-grade scienceclass at the Dallas Middle School re-cently used a class setof iPads to createimpressive multimedia presentationsabout Newtons three laws of motion.

Although the topic may seem dif-cult for sixth-graders to grasp, Barbo-ses students used graphics and created videos to illustrate a law of motion.

Barbose explained that the studentsused the iPads to make the videos andthen used an application called Key-note to create their slideshows.

The iPads connect with the Internet via the schools Wi-Fi network. Theclassroom uses Airplay, a go-betweendevice which allows students to streamtheir presentations to the large digital whiteboard in the room.

While the presentations were being given, students were expected to takenotes on the presentations of other stu-dents and most choseto use theiriPadsfor note-taking. Barbose said studentscould then email their notes to them-selves. Students also liked making theirown ashcards on the devices.

Sammy Dixon, 12, of Dallas, choseNewtons rst law to present. I learneda lotaboutNewton, shesaid.I learnedthat if you roll a ball, eventually it willstop. The friction against the oor orthe wall will stop it.

Of the iPads, she added, Theyre re-ally fun. It makes class more fun andnot boring like reading from a book.

Ryan Schmid, 12, of Dallas, choseNewtons second law. It seemed theeasiest at the time, he said. He, too,likes using the iPads. We use thema lot in science. We have a lot of appsthat help us with everyday stuff we do.Instead of writing things, we use thenotes app.

Barbose showed off the specializedcart which contains the iPads and a MacBook Pro computer. All the unitscan be recharged and downloaded withnew applications at the same time. Hesaid the iPads have been in place sinceOctober and there hasnt been a singleincident of damage to the devices.

About 100 students use the iPads,including science and reading classes.

Barboses dream of using iPads inhis classroom came true because of theDallas Foundation for Excellence inEducation, Inc.

The foundation is a non-prot orga-nization which was created in 2011. Itis a 501 (c) 3 organization which canprovide tax credit benets to businesscontributors.

According to Kristin Gattuso, thefoundations treasurer, the iPad cart with MacBook Pro computer and 30iPads cost $16,448. The money wasdonated by local businesses who tookadvantage of the states tax credit pro-gram.

Ross Elementary school art teacher Jill Vonderhook takes a lap after nishing measuring a chain of friendship bracelets over 2,000 feet long.

Ross Elementary students attempt to make worlds longest friendship bracelet

STORIESBy DOTTY MARTIN / dmartin@mydallaspost.com

If you think getting into the Guin-ness Book of World Records is easy,think again.

As the ofcial witness to the RossElementary School students attemptto get into the book for the worldslongest friendship bracelet, I learnedrsthand that having your nameentered into the ofcial world recordbook for anything is no easy task andIm now even more impressed withanyone who does get their name inthe book.

After intense research as to the kindof project to be attempted, theres allkinds of documentation to be com-pleted before your record-breaking attempt even begins. Ross Elementary School Principal Donny James canattest to that.

Everything - and I mean everything - has to be done exactly as Guinnessrequires it to be done.

In the Ross Elementary case, themeasurement of the length of thebracelets needed to be recorded by

professional land surveyors. DonBolton and Jess Kronenwetter of theBorton Lawson Engineering Firm did just that. Their boss, Don Spencer, isthe father of Ross fourth-grader Jes-sica Spencer. Because of his relation-ship to the school, Spencer could notparticipate in the ofcial measure-ment so he volunteered the servicesof Bolton and Kronenwetter, who notonly offered their expertise but their

Breaking a world record isfun, but not easy to do

Bracelets chained together.

Principal Donny James held the stick wound tight with brightly-colored string high above his head

and the Ross Elementary School students cheered.Art teacher Jill Vanderhook took a victory lap, hold-

ing the stick like an Olympic torch, and studentsroared while We Are The Champions blared throughdisc jockey Frank Prests speakers.

Although still unofcial, the record of the worldslongest friendship bracelet belongs to the Ross Ele-mentary students with a measurement of 2,678.02 feet(816.262 meters) measured by professional land sur- veyors Jess Kronenwetter and Bill Bolton from BortonLawson Engineering Firm.

For seven months, students at the school have beentying friendship bracelets, using colored embroidery string. They tied in homeroom. They tied at lunch. They tied at recess. They tied at home.

They tied and tied and tied.

A special meeting of the HarveysLake Planning Commission heldApril 29 ended with plans to build a 195 foot cellphone tower in the bor-ough being put on hold.

Attorney Eric Goldman, who rep-resents X Cell, the towers company,and Mario Calabretta, X Cells engi-neer, were in disagreement with bor-ough planning commission memberMichael Dziak on the status of thearea where the tower is to be built.

Dziak, along with Penn Easternengineer DarylPawlush, challengedX Cells representatives, who saidthe area is not required to be la-

beled as a subdivision. Dziak wasalso concerned about the property owners Clean and Green statusif the tower is to be placed on theproperty. Dziak said the county willnot issue a separate number for taxpurposes if the area is not a subdi- vision, leaving the property ownerresponsible for the taxes.

X Cell wants to lease a 100 x 100foot area of property off Cliff Streetin Harveys Lake Borough. The ac-tual area to be used for the tower is50 x 50 feet, with room to expandif other providers decide to join in with the anchor provider, AT&T.

Attorney Mark McNealis has said

hewill researchthe issue of whetheror not the area is legally considereda subdivision. After McNealis deter-mines thelands status,the commis-sion will meet again with Goldmanand Calabretta in order to grant theapplication to work on the property.

Lakeside Drive resident Andrea Payne was concerned about trucktrafc during the construction pro-cess. Calabretta responded by say-ing the type of trucks that wouldpass through the area would bedrilling rig and concrete trucks,not very large trucks, and the work would take about 4-6 weeks, de-pending on the weather.

Mary Jean Tarantini, anotherLakeside Drive resident, is notpleased with the potential plans.

This is a beautiful area and wedont want to see these things (thecell phone tower) around, Taran-tini said. She added, the neighbors want to keep the beautythis is why we live here.

Dave Tarantini expressed concernabout property values being reducedasa result of thetower. Healso asked why the tower was being construct-ed in Harveys Lake, to which Gold-man replied that about half of theborough does not receive adequatecell phone reception.

W hat began in 1947 as a small busi-ness with $25,000 worth of inven-tory housed in a 1,500 square footbuilding is now a multi-million dollar busi-ness with three locations around the state.

C.H. Waltz Sons, Inc., founded by ClarkH. Waltzand histhreesons, Joseph, Williamand Theodore, now includes ofces in Dal-las, Cogen Station and Wineld.

According to the companys website, www.chwaltz.com, In 1966 Clark retired,turning the business over to his sons. Jo-seph R. Waltz assumed therole of president, William C. Waltz became the vice presidentand Theodore J. Waltz took the position of treasurer. Joe retired in 1986 and Ted be-came president.Bill remainedthe vice presi-dent until he retired in 1994 at which point Ted became the sole owner and CEO of thecompany. For many years, Teds wife, Con-nie, helped run the business, but in morerecent years his oldest daughter, Deanna G.Boehret, was appointed the position of vicepresident while his two oldest grandsons,Seth H. and Justin T. Boehret, work in man-agement positions.

Seth Boehret manages the Dallas store,

which opened in 2007, and he said the busi-ness continues to grow. He added, however,Were getting to be a larger business, but were still making an effort to have a smallbusiness atmosphere.

Part of that atmosphere includes good,friendly customer service.

One thing westrivefor, Boehretsaid,isdeveloping a relationship with our custom-ers. We try to go out of our way to make thecustomers happy.

The shop offersrentals and sellsboth newand used equipment.

In addition to offering a vast product lineof various brands, including Kubota, Tana-ka, Snapper, D Woods, Hud-Son and more,the shop is a full-service dealer and can getparts for almost any make and model, ac-cording to Boehret.

Anything we can t in the shop, we can work on, he said, adding that company

employees have even worked on machinery outdoors that was too large to t inside. Itall goes back to developing relationships with the customers and serving them well.

Boegret describes the business as fam-ily oriented, which means supplying thecustomers with the equipment that bestsuits their families needs, rather than using pushy salesmen to pressure people intobuying things.

The store also makes an effort to step be- yond its doors and get involved in the com-munity. Some organizations and events itbelongs to and has helped with include The Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, Dal-las Harvest Festival, various expos and fairs,the Wilkes-Barre Farmers Market and col-lections for victims of natural disasters.

Mary Gulotta, of Trucksville, has seen rsthandthe enormous toll a communication disorder andthebullyingand teasingassociatedwith it canhaveon an individual. Its one of the reasons she choseto major in speech-language pathology at Miseri-cordia University, so she could help others likeher best friend from high school nd the voicethey all deserve.

Throughout her high school years, Gulotta saw

her best friend struggle with his communicationdisorder the result of being born with a cleftpalate. Post-surgery, her friend still spoke with a hypernasal voice and nasal emission. By the timethey reached high school, he was uneasy when hehad to speakin public. Attimes, herelied onothersto speak for him, including Gulotta.

He used to share with me the reactions he con-stantly received from people about his voice andmentioned to me that these reactions made him in-secure, says the daughter of Steven and Linda Gu-lotta. As a result, he limited his talking. Because of the issues he had with speaking in public, he wouldoften askme to speak forhim when weweretogeth-er whetherit was agging down a personin a storeor ordering in a restaurant.

I recognized the impact that his voice had onhimpersonally, hiscondence andhis self-esteem,Gulotta adds.

Tragically, Gulottas close friend lost his life dur-ing her junior year of college in 2012.

I was left with only letters and poems he had written in the last week of his life that depicted howinsecure he was, says Gulotta, who hopes to raiseawareness about how bullying affects people by sharing their story. After this devastating blow of losing my best friend, I channeled my sadness intoan even greater resolve to be able to give people a voice and the ability to communicate.

Gulotta was recently awarded the 2013 VonDrach Memorial Scholarship by the Pennsylvania Speech-Language-Hearing Association (PSHA)at the 54th annual convention in Harrisburg. The2013 award marks the sixth straight year a Miseri-cordia University SLP student has received the$1,000 scholarship, awarded annually to an out-standing student from one of Pennsylvanias 14SLP schools in honor of Dr. Robert Von Drach. Itis given to a student who exhibits strong leader-ship abilities, outstanding academic performance,exceptional clinical skills and scholarship withinthe profession.

At Misericordia, Gulotta has been a member of the departments National Student Speech-Lan-guage-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) since 2009and the Pennsylvania Speech-Language-Hearing As-sociation NSSLHA Chapter since 2009.

She has also maintained a 4.0 grade point averagein her academic studies, while also gaining clinicalexperience at the Misericordia University Speech-Language andHearing Centeron campusand at the Wyoming ValleyChildrens Association in Forty Fort where she received real-world clinical experience working with children with special needs, develop-mental delays, hearing impairment, autism spec-trum disorders and multiple disabilities.

In my graduate uency class, Mary developed a stuttering treatment game that incorporated vari-ous aspects of stuttering. We plan to test this gamein our clinic (the Speech-Language and Hearing Center) withchildren whostutter. Mary oncemen-tioned to me, I was not satised with the gamesthat were available for young children so I decidedto designone myself, saidGlenTellis, Ph.D.,chairof the Department of Speech-Language Pathology at Misericordia University.

The more I become emerged in the eld of speech-language pathology, the more my interestfor it grows, says Gulotta. I have come to valueclinical treatment as an art form, but realize that Ineed to merge science into the art form to achieveappropriate clinical results. Each client I receiveis a new challenge where individualistic plans arecreated and implemented to t both the needs andmotivational factors of each client.

No other experience gives me the joy of know-ing that I played a role in helping individuals learnhow to communicate effectively, she adds.

Gulotta also was accepted recently to Penn StateMilton S. Hershey Medical Center for an adulteldwork placement for the fall semester.

ONLY YESTERDAY

By Samantha Weaver* It was Founding Father

Thomas Jefferson who madethe following sage observation:The tax which will be paid foreducation is not more than thethousandth part of what willbe paid to kings, priests andnobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people to

ignorance.* Half of all the worlds

ower species can be found inSouth America.

* The Hula Hoop wasintroduced in the United Statesin early 1958, and the crazerapidly became one of the big-gest in history up to that time.Shortly thereafter, the BritishMedical Journal blamed an up-tick in back, neck and abdomi-nal injuries on the fad.

Three and a half hours after the length of the brace-lets was announced, the ofcial count was in.

As Kronenwetter counted off the last 10 braceletsand Bolton echoed the numbers, anticipation mount-ed.

When the last bracelet was counted, Ross Elemen-tary students had made 7,507 friendship bracelets. The crowd erupted.

But is it enough to be recorded in the GuinnessBook of World Records? Time will tell.

The currentrecord for the longestfriendship brace-let belongs to Owingsville Elementary School in Ken-tucky. Students there tied 3,799 friendship braceletsthat measured more than 810 feet in 2011.

Ofcials at Guinness reported to James that a group of people in India had submitted evidence thatit had tied together 4,123 friendship bracelets butthat amount has not yet been ratied.

Even if the India count stands, the Ross studentstied 3,384 more bracelets. As long as the documen-tation holds up, students at the Sweet Valley school will have their names recorded in history.

The project started last October when James hearda radio promotion attempting to gather togetherenoughpeopleto puton sunblockat thesametimeinan attempt to make it into the Guinness Book. Thatattempt failed but it was all James needed to rally histroops.

After meeting with Vanderhook and several otherteachers, the plan was in place and students startedtying. Every one of the schools nearly 300 studentsmade at least one bracelet.

Sporting t-shirts that read, Ross Elementary

School Tied Together in Friendship, students en- joyed a Carnival Day on the grounds of the school onMay 1 while Kronenwetter and Bolton counted whileteacher Jen Welbyvideo recorded and PTO volunteerCheri Derhammer photographed the counting, bothrequirements of Guinness.

The message of the project was much greater than just brightly-colored string and tying as studentsbonded together in their record-breaking attempt.

Savannah Purdy was the leader of bracelet tying in her family, according to her mother, Jennifer, whosaid the sixth-grader encouraged third-grader ChaseMarie and kindergarten student Tristan to becomeinvolved in bracelet tying.

Theyve been excited about it all year long, Jen-nifer said.

Cheri Horan said her daughter, Samantha, a rst-grader, isexcited aboutbeingpart of a world record.

Sixth-grader Jessica Evans said, Every little bit

counts while her friend, Rebecca Bonomo, anothersixth-grader, pointed out the anti-bullying messagethe project centered around.

Third-grader Lilian Raczkowski tied about 200bracelets, 100 of them during recess while SarayahSmith, another third-grader, said the 100 braceletsshe tied represent friendship.

Superintendent Jim McGovern sported a t-shirt atthe event and third-grader Jeanna Pritchard reectedon the fun she had tying bracelets.

As students, teachers and parents danced to theHokey Pokey and the Macarena while measuring was taking place, fourth-gradera Spencer Judge andChristian Seprish talked about how the project made

them want to stop bullying.

BRACELETSContinued from Page 1

good humor, as well.A newspaper editor needed to

ofcially witness the attempt. Thats where I came in - and was honoredto do so. Principal James asked meto be at the school at 8:30 in themorning. Im an early riser, so that wasnt a problem. What he didnt tellme was that I needed to witness thecounting of every single bracelet - all7,507 of them - which took nearly four hours, making for a very long day and an experience I wouldnttrade for all the friendship braceletsin the world. Besides, it was a beauti-ful day and I got a great start on my summer tan.

The measuring and the counting needed to be recorded, both withstill photography and videography. Teacher Jen Welby held a videocamera during the entire count-ing process while PTO volunteerCheri Derhammer photographedthe surveyors counting the braceletsand the numbers recorded on theirsurveying wheel.

Bill, Jess and I had to ll out three-page documents about our involve-ment when the entire process wascompleted.

All of that documentation, includ-ing the bracelets, will be sent toGuinness and the wait begins. Therecord doesnt stand until ofcials atGuinness say it does.

Heres what I learned as an ofcialGuinness Book of World Records witness:

* The Ross Elementary Schoolstudents not only know how to havea good time but are incredibly wellbehaved.

* Professional land surveyors arenot always as serious as they appearto be when theyre looking through

the lens of that odd-looking equip-ment they use.* The faculty and staff at Ross

Elementary School are committed toteaching and guiding the youngstersin their care.

* Donny James is still passionateabout being the principal at RossElementary after nine years and mo-tivates the faculty and staff in theircommitment.

* Reds makes a mean tuna hoagie. Thanks, Principal James, for that.

* All of us who participated inthe attempt to become world recordholders are now forever bonded.And were all still trying to get thosenumbers out of our heads.

Barbose began his career in

Barbose admitted that using iPads in middle school is cutting edge. There arent many appscreated for that age group. Youhave to be creative, he said.

Stanley who said the group be-gins practicing in December andthat many of the students play something other than percus-sion in the regular band pro-gram. The group includes fthand sixth-graders from all of thedistricts elementary schools.

Sarah Salus, of Shavertownis an 11-year-old student atLehman-Jackson Elementary.She plays bells in the percussiongroup and clarinet in the bandprogram and said the best partof the program for her is its big nish. Her reason for participat-ing? Its fun, she said.

Mirrors is the theme of theLake-Lehman Indoor ColorGuard program. The group justtook rst place at the Chapter7 championships and is aiming high for the Atlantic title.

According to director DavidMarsh, the groups program ex-plores self-image and the colorsin the program become pro-gressively brighter and bolderas a young person becomes hisor her own person. The groupmade up of 14 girls and one boy uses ags, gun props and largemirrors to present an athleticprogram involving ag tossing with acrobatic choreography.

Deanna Szabo, 17, of HunlockCreek, is a senior. She says thegroup practices 20 hours a weekand performs an outdoor fallseason and a spring indoor sea-son. Szabo underlined how im-portant friendship is to her ex-perience with thegroup. Its thefamily atmosphere that keeps uscoming back, she said.

Jessica Campbell, 18, of Lehm-an, is also a senior. She has beenon the color guard team sinceeighth grade and said her favor-ite things about the program arethe people and the coaches.For her, the group provides anescape from the pressures of high school life. But she empha-sized the demanding nature of the group. You can have fun but

you also have to work hard. When it was their turn, mem-

bers of the Lake-Lehman HighSchool Indoor Percussion En-semble covered the gym oor with a giant tarp representing a highway for theirprogramcalledGPS, including slides as well asmusic. Unlike the elementary group which was stationary, thehigh school percussionists movein their competition. Their pro-gram depicts a highway journey which begins at Lake-Lehman

and ends at the Wildwood com-petition.

Flashing and crashing cym-balists and focused drummersfanned out across the stage incomplicated patterns. The frontgroup of musicians stayed inplace and included a drum setplayer, multiple keyboard instru-ments and percussion instru-ments. The music was complex,heavy on beat and rhythm andthe noise level was rock-concertloud.

According to David Gambal who directs the high schoolpercussion ensemble, studentsbenet from music ensembles in various ways. Its the camarade-rie and teamwork, he said. Itsathletic.

Gambal should know as thismarks his 20th year with themarching band and his eighth with indoor percussion.

Brittney Mahony, 16, of Sweet

Valley, is a sophomore whoplays trombone in the band pro-gram but is a bass drummer inthe percussion ensemble. Sheknows about the athletic ele-ment as bass drums can weighup to 35 pounds. She joined thegroup because it sounded fun.I thought, Ill give it a try and Iliked it, she said.

Andrew Leahy, 14, of SweetValley is an eighth grader atLake-Lehman Middle Schooland a percussionist in the regu-lar band. His main reason forplaying in the ensemble? A loveof music! he said.

Carolyn Price, 15, a sopho-more at Lake-Lehman, playsbas-soon in the band but also playssynthesizer and cymbals. She,like many of the other students,mentioned the sense of belong-ing which their group inspires.Without it, I dont know whereId be, she said.

When Lake-Lehman was not partof the Wyoming Valley Conferenceschedule for much of the past decade,Dallas still invited its Back Mountainrival as the frequent opponent for itsannual Mothers Day softball game.

The schoolsare together in Division2 of the WVC this year, so they werealready scheduled to meet at Dallas. The teams have agreed to again havetheir game on Mothers Day and, forthe second straight year, the contest will be part of Autism AwarenessNight.

Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with

game time set for 7:30. All proceedsfrom the night will go to the Special

Education Department of the DallasArea School District.

Lake-Lehman hasnt been on our(conference) schedule in about sev-en years, so we always scheduled a game,Dallas coachJoyce Tinner. All we had to do this year was move thegame.

Jennifer Yanuskavich, the Dallas as-sistant coach, works with autistic stu-dents as a learning support teacher atthe Wycallis Elementary School. Shesaid team members have helped addinterest to thegame in itssecondyear.

Once we decided to do something for autism awareness, the kids really ran with it, Yanuskavich said. They researched it. They did poster boardsand yers. Theyre taking a big partin it and getting the community in- volved.

The players hope to make the gamespecial formore than just thecompeti-

tion between rivals.We try every year to always have

a Mothers Day game, Yanuskavichsaid. What better way to spend theday that to invitesomeof the studentson to the eld for festivities? We havea mom of two autistic children who will be speaking.

Members of both teams have pur-chased Autism Awareness socks to wear during the game. Along withconcessions, all sales provide sensory items that help autistic students in theclassroom.

Our junior class really seemed totake off with the idea, but its been a total team effort, Yanuskavich said.The girls talk about it on our bustrips.

And when Mothers Day comes,May 12, they will use the ideas they have come up withto help autistic stu-dents in the district.

Mothers Day softball game benets autism awareness

By TOMROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Dallas, Lake-Lehman girls square

off in annual benet game.

John Sobocinski did some pro- jectingbefore his Lake-Lehman girlstrack team faced Northwest in a key early-season meet.

Sobocinski gured the teams would nish within a point of eachother.

As it turned out, they tied in theonly meet the Lady Knights did not win this season.

Sobocinski is back to making pro- jections this week, trying to comeup with the right combinations todefeat unbeaten host Holy Redeem-er Tuesday. A win would give Lake-Lehman (5-0-1) the Wyoming Valley ConferenceDivision 2 title outright.

Dallas also has a title shot Tues-day. The Lady Mountaineers rout-ed Wyoming Valley West, 124-26, Wednesday to go into the nal weekone meet behind Pittston Area. A win over the Lady Patriots Tuesday would allow for a tie for rst placein Division 1 of the WVC.

Lake-Lehman set up its title shot with a 94-56 win over Wyoming Area on Tuesday.

I am de-nitely someone who scores outthe meet, Sobo-cinski said after Tuesdays vic-tory. I will begame-planning this meet.

Yes, I do think we can beat Holy Redeemer, al-though its a very, very difcultmeet to win be-cause they haveso much depth.

One of the challenges is that thedistance races are usually an area for Lake-Lehman to score well. Holy Redeemer, however, appears evenstronger and deeper with three run-ners Marissa Durako, Rachel So- winski and Cassandra Gill whonished second, third and ninth inthe state Class AA cross country championships last fall.

Cayle Spencer, Kaylee Hillard andShoshana Mahoney led the way tothe win over Wyoming Area, keep-ing Lake-Lehman in title conten-tion.

Spencer swept the throwing events with wins in the shot put,discus and javelin. Hillard won the800 and 1600 while also running on the winning 1600 relay team.Mahoney won the 100 and 200 andtook second in the long jump.

Emily Sutton, Brittany Faux, Ka-tie Heindel, Amanda Mathers andKatie Bartuska have also been a big part of helping the Lady Knightsenter the last week of the regularseason with an unbeaten dual meetrecord.

Sutton, who was part of two win-ning relays Tuesday, has venturedbeyond her middle distance eventsto help the team.

Shes helped us in many places,Sobocinski said. Weve had her inthe high jump, two relays and thehurdles.

Faux, a junior hurdlerand jumper,has shown signicant improvementin her third season on the team.

Heindel is a hurdler and high jumper.

Mathers, a senior who is wrap-ping up a successful career, hasbeena steady and dependable, sprinterand jumper, according to Sobocin-ski.

Bartuska, a middle distance run-ner, has been particularly effectivein the 400. She won that event andran a leg of the 1600 relay Tuesday.

Dallas suffered its only lossagainst Hazleton Area early in theseason, but is now tied for secondplace in Division 1 with the Cou-gars, behind Pittston Area. It sweptthe top three places in six eventsand won 17 of 18 events overall Wednesday.

Dallas High School softball players get direction from coach Joyce Tinner.

The second annual Old StickGame pitting the Dallas and Lake-Lehman girls lacrosse teams againsteach other will be held at 5:30 p.m.on Tuesday, May 7 at the Edward Ed-

wards Stadium on the campus of theLake-Lehman Junior/Senior HighSchool.

The winner will get custody of theold stick until the second meeting of the teams in 2014 . Last season,the Dallas girls defeated Lehman, 17-6, to claim the honor.

The game of lacrosse originated with Native Americans. It was popu-lar among the Eastern tribes and wasmost likely the rst team sport everplayed in Northeast Pennsylvania.

While the rules for the modernmens game were developed by a Ca-nadiandentist in the1860s,the wom-ens game was born in 1884 at the St.Leonards School for girls in Scotlandafter the headmistress, Miss Louisa

Lumsden, witnessed a game betweenthe Canghuwaya Indians and theMontreal Lacrosse club and adaptedthe game for her pupils.

Lumsden wrote: It is a wonderfulgame, beautifuland graceful. I wassocharmed with it that I introduced itat St Leonards.

Queen Victoria, who in 1876 also witnessed the touring Canghuwaya and Montreal clubs during a privateexhibition at Windsor castle, wassaid to have enjoyed the game and isquoted as saying, It is very pretty to watch.

After being introduced at St. Leon-ards, girls lacrosse became extreme-ly popular and spread throughoutGreat Britain. During the pre-world war era, demand for the hickory crosses used for girls lacrosse oftenoutstripped supply.

In 1912, cricket bat and hockey stick manufacturer TS Hattersley & Son of Manchester, England re-sponded to the growing market andbegan producing girls lacrosse sticks. Within a few years, demand becameso highfor Hattersley`s popularVik-toria crosse that the company scaleddown productionof cricket bats to fo-cus primarily on girls lacrosse sticks.

While girls lacrosse had become wildly popular in Britain, it was notuntil St. Leonards alumnus Rosa-belle Sinclair emigratedto theUnitedStates in the 1920s that North Ameri-can girls were given the opportunity to play the game that had been, upto that point, exclusive to males.Having become a physical educationteacher at the Bryn Mawr School inBaltimore, Maryland, Sinclair intro-duced lacrosse to the all-girls schoolin 1926.

As the rules for the girls game hadbeen developed and rened inde-pendently for four decades in GreatBritain, they differed greatlyfrom theNorth America rules that boys hadbeen using. The womens game em-phasized stick skills and prociency.

Sinclair resisted blending the rulesshe had learned as a student in Scot-land with the boys rules being usedin America as she believed the girlsgame should be played with femininerenement, stating, Lacrosse, as

girls play it, is an orderly pastime thathas little in common with the mens
