State Senator Frank J. O’Connell
(R-20) and Representative Frank
Coslett (R-120) are pleased to
announce that a contract has been
awarded for stream improvement
work at Toby’s Creek in Kingston

The $17,440 contract was awarded
to Freeman Robbins, Jr. and Son,
and will include the installation of
gadion walls and widening of the
channel near the Main Street Bridge
in Shavertown.
Coslett said, ‘“There have been
serious floods and run-off problems
for the residents around the Main
Street Bridge.”
“This work along with the
recently completed bridge project
should alleviate the problem,”’
0’Connell said.
Last winter a three-to-four inch
rain storm on frozen ground

residents.
Both veteran legislators are
pleased that the stream improve-
ment project should be completed

Kasarda’s Greenhouse is a full-
service, wholesale-retail florist
where employees are always busy.
“In fact,”” says owner Renn
Kasarda, ‘‘we are rarely closed,
except for major holidays such as
Christmas.” :
Back Mountain residents can now
enjoy the convenient service pro-
vided by Kasarda’s as the company
recently opened a new store in the
309/415 Plaza in Dallas.
Kasarda’s carries tropical plants,
such as cut flowers and dish gar-
dens and features its own unique
arrangements for each holiday. Hol-
iday arrangements, such as the
12,000 poinsettia plants featured this
past Christmas, have come to be
known as Kasarda’s trademark.
The Kasarda name has been asso-
ciated with gardening for over 65
years as Renn’s father started in
the business with Penn Floral,
which was formerly located near
the building that currently houses
Ertley Cadillac in Kingston.
Later, the Kasardas moved to
Barney Farms where they stayed
for 10 years and then opened a store
in Edwardsville where they
remained for nine years.
Kasarda’s has also been operating
a store at 887 Wyoming Ave., Wyo-
ming since 1974.
Their Dallas store, which opened
on December 16, features the same
services as the Wyoming Avenue
store, as well as tele-flora service
which wires flowers to particular
recipients.
Kasarda’s winter hours will be 9
am. to 6 p.m. Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Satur-
days and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
The Dallas Township supervisors
voted recently to incorporate Falls-
brook Road into the township. The
meeting where the vote was taken
was to-be a public hearing, how-
ever, none of the four families who
originally petitioned the township,
nor the ordinances’ only opposition,
appeared at the hearing.
The families living on West Fall-
brook Road who will benefit by the
O

supervisors’ decision include the
Nelson Downends, the Patrick
Joyces, the James Scutt and the
Frank Kuehns. The main reason for
the original petition was due to the
increasing expense of maintaining
the road.
In other matters, Dallas Township
Police Chief Carl Miers will soon be
an instructor in the use of the
breathalizer machine used to detect
drunkenness. Miers will attend an
improved sobriety testing instruc-
tion course at King of Prussia, Pa.,
which will lead to certification as an
instructor in the use of the machine.
PennDOT has proclaimed April 27
as “Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful
Day.” Civic groups and other bor-
ough organizations are invited to
participate in a clean-up operation
of their particular areas. -
