The practice facilities are scattered throughout the boroughs and town- ships that comprise the league and are as far apart as Kingston Twp. and Lehman. The major league teams have been looking for a larger portion of away games this year to make up for the lack of facilities. The present fields in Dallas Twp. are in use every night during the season and all day on Saturdays. This year’s weather has also played havoc with many of the practice fields as there has been an enor- mous amount of surface water on them. ; These are some of the problems facing Back Mountain baseball as the teams are well into the 1983 season. The answer, it seems is near at hand - or is it? The Little League Acquisition Committee has found one suitable site in the Back Mountain and it looks as though land belonging to the Dallas School District may be just the solution. At a meeting held June 9, the Little League met with representa- tives from the school district and Tom Doughton from Smith, Miller Engineering. Doughton explained the physical aspects of creating baseball fields on the land which is adjacent to the Dallas High School Building. The school district and the Department of Agriculture have arranged to alleviate a drainage problem as well as the rough grad- ing of the area. This year’s high rainfall had highlighted the surface water problem which would need to be corrected initially. However, after this work is car- ried out by Marines in August and September, there will still be a great deal of expensive work that must be done. Although there is room for four By JANE C. BOLGER Post Correspondent The idea of converting the former Dallas Borough Elementary School into new quarters for the Back Mountain Memorial Library is being greeted with enthusiasm throughout the community.

Pp CARRIE LLEWELLYN the two buildings, both of which are in residential neighborhoods, has been a question repeatedly discus- sedsince the Dallas School Board voted to close the schools for eco- nomic reasons. Relocating the library to the former school building would obviously provide a great deal more space than is presently available in the two converted wooden houses on Main Street that constitute the Back Mountain Memorial Library. If tite move were to take place it would also be possible to house both the Childrens’ Section and the Main Library under one roof and make an auditorium available for special cul- tural events. Another; tremendous plus would be the large parking area surround- ing the seliool building in contrast to She is entered this year’s Little Miss Harveys Lake Contest because ‘she’s a cute kid and her family have lived at the lake all their lives.” GINGER LYNN REYNOLDS Ginger Lynn Reynolds is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Reynolds, RD 2, Box 162, School Street, Har- veys Lake.

At least one field must be constructed according tc these standards to enable the league to grow in terms of game status. The costs, as they stand, seem to be somewhat high, however, sugges- tions were made as to how the league could form a legal associa- tion to include all the townships and boroughs. This type of association would allow the organization to apply for federal grants. At present, all community development monies are committed for the next few years and the aim is to begin construction on the fields as soon as possible. The school district has already iven their go-ahead for the utiliza- ion of the land as it would be an all- around benefit for baseball and softball in the community. Joe O’Donnell, representative for the school district, suggested the league look into the forming of the neces- sary legal association. It was noted that construction of one field should begin with the aim of having it in use next season. This, however, would create the disad- vantage of splitting the games by age groups. A split such as this would be only temporary and would probably be outweighed by the long term goal. Doughton pointed out that resur- facing work was already underway on the Dallas Junior High School track. Tex Wilson reported that work is being done as a joint venture as the school board is pro- viding the labor and the township is providing the equipment. It is possi- ble the same type of agreement would be possible for the construc- tion of the baseball fields. \ tic note as Back Mountain Baseball is now taking the initial steps neces- sary te acquire new fields.
