Methodist Church
following the morning
worship service. United
Methodist Women of
Noxen UM Church hosted
a birthday celebration
last week for residents of
the Methodist Manor in
Tunkhannock,
A bike-a“thon for Cystic
Fibrisis is being planned
Work is progressing
nicely on the new
firehouse being con-
structed on the Nor-
thmoreland Township
Volunteer Fire Com-
pany’s plot just south of
Weaver’s Market in
Centermoreland.
Members of the new
volunteer fire company
are working evenings and
have targeted a com-
pletion date of October 31.
The new firehouse, the
first for Northmoreland
Township, will be a one
story, concrete block
structure measuring
42X52 feet. It will contain
three stalls for housing
the new fire company’s
fire-fighting equipment in
addition to a meeting,
furnace, kitchen and bath
rooms.
The new fire company
has acquired a tanker and
fire truck to date with
monies raised at benefit
affairs held since the
volunteer unit was
chartered back in June
1981. The fire company
held a successful bazaar
and auction in late
August, which was very
well supported by
residents of . Nor-
thmoreland and neigh-
boring townships.
In another develop-
ment, Northmoreland
Township board of
supervisors at its Sep-
tember meeting agreed to
hold a public opinion poll
to let residents vote on
whether or not they want
the newly formed Nor-
thmoreland Township
Volunteer Fire Company.
Northmoreland Town-
ship supervisors, in a
letter to Wyoming
County’s board of com-
missioners stated that a
referendum should be put
on the Nov. 2 General
Election ballot to
determine if the residents
approve of the fire
company.
Last month, Joseph
Ostrowski of Pine Ridge
Road petioned the board
to place the question on
the ballot. Ostroski said
that he is not against the
new fire company but has
ridiculed all efforts of the
volunteers to continue
their efforts.
Octroski said he wants
to know “the truth and I
think the supervisors
should act on behalf of the
residents and go the way
the residents want them
to.”” Ostroski said he has
questioned the motives of
the new fire company
since it was chartered 15
months ago.

ROUNDTRIP
(Mon. thru Fri.)
ROUNDTRIP
Northmoreland Town-
ship has no fire-fighting
unit of its own. The
township is one of the
fastest growing com-
munities in Wyoming
County, population and
housing unit wise and
when needed, calls in the
Franklin Township Volun
teer Fire Company for
service. The latter
company is located in the
village of Orange and
some areas of Nor-
thmoreland Township like
Keelersburg and Vernon
are more than five miles
away from the Orange
fire unit. Progressive
citizens of Northmoreland
Township say the new
fire company is a step in
the right direction.
Ostroski, who has
gathered over = 300
signatures to put the
public opinion question on
the ballot said he doesn’t
mind if the township
supports the new fire
company ‘‘if it will mean
there is no cost to the
taxpayers”. He said “At
the least, we wanted the
issue put on the ballot as a
question.”
Progressive . minded
residents of Nor-
thmoreland Township,
who have watched some
properties go up in flames
in recent years, are
backing the new Nor-
thmoreland Township
fire-fighting unit.
The question will be
placed on the Nov. 2
General Election ballot at
a cost of $75 to the
township. Wyoming
County = commissioners
say the township will have
to pay for the printing of
the public opinion
question.
