Fourteen-year-old Mexican Boy
Scout Oscar Cervera of Chihua-
huas, Mexico, spent the last week
Davis Street, Trucksville, his last
stop before returning home after
spending three months in the
United States.
Oscar left his home in Mexico,
in June, and came to the United
States on the International Boy
went to Camp Acahela where he
worked on the waterfront with the
scouts for four weeks. An excel-
lent swimmer, Oscar was a mem-
ber of the staff and taught swim-
ming, rafting and also target shoot-
ing. He served as a lifeguard on the
waterfront.
After leaving Camp Acahela,
Oscar went to Fort AP. Hill in
Virginia, where he spent several
weeks with 35,000 Boy Scouts, the
largest tent city in the country.
Twenty six boys from the Penn
Mountains Council attended the
jamboree where they met boys from
all over the world and had fun
exchanging patches from different
countries.
This was not Oscar's first trip to
the United States although it was
the first time he was away from
time. He has visited an uncle in El
Paso, Texas, and some relatives in
California.
Oscar found target shooting
different at Camp Acahela than at
home. In Mexico they use only bow
and arrows but at camp he learned
to use a rifle.
He likes the houses in the states
better than at home. “Here,” Oscar

Oscar likes the food at home
better than the food in the United
States. He is also anxious to get
home to see his parents and his
brother, who is also an exchange
scout in a different state.
The McDonald's, Burger Kings
and Kentucky Fried Chicken were
not new to him because they have
those fast food places at home, but
they are not his favorite foods.
Oscar's favorite food is turkey and
fruit although he finds the fruit
here different than in Mexico.
Oscar speaks Spanish as his
native tongue but also speaks
English fluently. “I learn English
in school,” Oscar said. “The teacher
is a friend of my mother’s and she
came from England so she speaks
very good English.”
Oscar's mother is a teacher and
his father whose name is also
Oscar, is a market analyst. When
he returns home and goes to school,
Oscar comes home from school at
1 p..m., takes a siesta for an hour,
then he goes to either a swimming
club, tennis club, or an other sports
club with his mother.
While at the jamboree, Oscar
went with other scouts to King's
Dominion, Annapolis, and to
Washington, D.C. where they vis-
ited museums and monuments.
He also walked three miles to the
Arena to see Steven Spielberg and
had fun trading 40 patches at the
Arena. :
Brian met Oscar at Camp Aca-
hela several times but didn't know
then that Oscar would be staying
with him.
The two boys had a wonderful .
time all week, swimming in the
Karolchik's pool, working on a tree
fort and playing soccer. They also
went to Montage to see the Red
Barons, and built shelves for
Brian's room. This past Saturday
they were going to Knoebel Park
before Oscar left Sunday from the

would leave for Mexico.
“I will miss Oscar, Brian Karol-
chik said. “We had alot of fun. I am
learning Spanish and we are going
to write to each other in Spanish
sometimes and sometimes in
English.”

‘Plan for Dallas muffler
shop fails to get approval
By CHARLOT M. DENMON'
Staff Writer
A request for final approval of
plans for a muffler shop and busi-
ness center to be built on Route
309 adjacent to the Mark Il restau-
rant was rejected by the Dallas
Township planning and zoning
commission last Tuesday.
Murray Miller, the project archi-
tect, presented plans for final
approval of the business center to
be constructed by owner Anthony
Pizzo of New York and Mount
Pocono.
Miller explained that the owner
had allocated plenty of parking
area for a proposed muffler shop at
one end and a business park or
shopping plaza at the other, as
well as the maximum footage nec-
essary for the exit and egress.
In answer to questions from
board members, Miller explained
that the left portion of the land
would be an office plaza as indi-
cated unless feedback warranted
a change, and if this were so,
changes would be made in compli-
ance with the requirements of the
commission. He also said thatin a
preliminary meeting with
PennDOT, engineer Chris Borton
designed the exit and egress to
meet the recommendations of the
department.
Board member William McCall
said he was reluctant to approve
the plan without comments from
the Luzerne County Planning
Commission, which were not in-
cluded with the presentation. Other
members agreed with McCall and
a motion was approved to adjourn
the meeting to September 5, 7 p.m.
to give the architect time to obtain
the county planning commission's
comment on the development.
Earlier, the Dallas Township
supervisors met to approve pay-
ment of bills and to act on ques-
tions or complaints presented by
taxpayers.
Supervisor Frank Wagner re-
ported that residents of New Goss
Manor complained that cars were
traveling too fast on the streets in
the development and requested
that the supervisors do something
to resolve the problem. President
Philip Walters explained that the
legal speed limit in New Goss Manor
is 55 miles per hour so the police
department is unable to cite driv-
ers unless they are exceeding that
limit. The police were instructed to |
look into it.
The zoning board members
approved a one-man sub-division
plan presented by Tim Elston of
Kunkle, on a parcel of land behind
the Kunkle Community Hall. The
board also approved the plans for
a one and a half sub-division on
Ransom Road, Dallas, presented
by Robert Moore. Moore explained
that 75 acres of his land has been
sold and he is retaining one acre as
his own property.
Tom Dilley, acting for Lucille
Bittendbender who owns a large
parcel of land at the intersection of
Lake Catalpa Road and Route 309,
presented plans for a sub-division
for the board's approval. Dilley
explained that Bittenbender
planned to keep four acres of the
land on which a house is located
and sell the remaining land. The
board approved the request.
Shaffer
(continued from page 1)
as its candidate. Presently a
member of council, Shaffer's term
expires this year. The name was
then submitted to Luzerne
County's Republican Chairman
Thomas Reese. Reese in turn sub-
mitted the name of the candidate
to the Luzerne County Republican
Executive Committee, which in-
cludes the chairmen of all six dis-
tricts.
Shaffer was approved by the
committee and his name sent to
the court house as the candidate
to be placed on the ballot in No-
vember.
