12 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 8, 1992 Brush fires————— (Continued from pg. 1) ‘Many people % think that they can handle a fire with garden hoses, only to end up with a major problem.” Rollie Evans Jackson Twp. Fire Chief added that his men were called to two brush fires in the past week. ~The first, near Country ClubApart- ments on Route 309, may have | been started by a motorist tossing alighted cigarette into the weeds. The second, on Sunday, April 5, started at a baseball field at the top of Roushey Plot. “We were very lucky to be able to get our hoses in there quickly,” Besecker said. Besecker explained that al- ~ though the ground is very wet from therecentrains, the wind has made . surface grass, leaves and brush A | tinder-dry. The fire chiefs agreed that com- , mon sense is the best way to pre- ~ vent small springtime debris fires from growing into large brush fires. Evans urged homeowners to avoid all open burning near wooded areas, where sparks can ignite dry q 1 i leaves, and to avoid any type of open burning if at all possible. “Many people think that they can handle a fire with garden hoses, only to end up with a major prob- lem,” he said. “If you're in doubt ‘about any fire, don't hesitate or be | ‘embarrassed to dial 911 for help. We'd rather respond to a small fire ithan have to battle a major one.’ NASA (Continued from pg. 1) pin TUT i 3 i ts ct Fr. id 8 es. “Space food” was also a popular topic; Ernst said that astronauts’ ; ‘meals taste much better than Army ig [5a] RE ai i fed MRE's. “The prepackaged dehy- ~ drated meals sold at camping and li goods stores are just like the meals that the astronauts eat,” he said. Sixth-grader Mike Casey looked like a real astronaut as he tried on a NASA space suit, complete with attached gloves, bulky arms and legs and an airlock for the space helmet. During the afternoon Ernst vis- | ited individual classrooms to meet the students and to answer more . questions. Classes continued the space exploration theme throughout the day, with some classes sporting paper space helmets which they had made. The older students had studied space science and read about astronomy in preparation for Ernst’s visit. First graders received books chosen around the theme of space in a RIF (Reading is FUNdamental) book distribution Thursday after their assembly. First grade teacher Mrs. Lolly - Larkin coordinated the assembly “and activities, which will continue | through the end of April, when rocks brought back from the moon | by American astronauts will visit ' Lake-Noxen School.

AT THE HIBACHI TABLE - Ruben can sits in the dining room of Tokyo Jepancse Cuisine on Route 309 in Dallas. Chan will operate the restaurant where the Kentucky Fried Chicken was formerly located. Japanese cuisine coming to Dallas By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff Do you crave the taste of Japa- nese cooking, butdon’t know where to find it locally? Or perhaps you'd like some fresh uncooked seafood — sushi — but don’t want to drive far to get some. For those who already love Japanese food, or those who would like to try it, Tokyo Japanese Cui- sine will be opening in May on Route 309 in Dallas. Over the past several months, Ruben Chan, who has operated the Beijing Chinese Restaurant in Kingston for the past nine years, has converted the former Kentucky Fried Chicken into a more exotic restaurant. Before operating the Beijing, Chan helped a friend run a restaurant in Arizona for four years. “In this area there is no Japa- nese Restaurant, you have to go to Scranton,” Hong Kong. “I'll open here and people who love Japanese won't have to go so far.” Chan expects the restaurant, with seating [or 57 people, to open for business seven days a week in May. The interior of the restaurant has been entirely refinished, with black and white [urnishings to evoke the simple elegance of Japa- nese design. The windows, glazed with white to simulate the paper walls of traditional Japanese build- ings, let diffused light into the dining room, but eliminate the distractions of the world outside. said Chan, a native of Tokyo Japanese Cuisine will feature hibachi cooking and a sushi bar featuring fresh seafood. At the hibachi tables, lobster, scallops, fish, steak and chicken are brought out fresh, and grilled before the diner's eyes while the cook displays fancy knifework. Along with the meal, diners will have soup and shrimp and aJapa- nese style salad bar for appetizers. In contrast to Chinese cooking, Japanese cooking often features lighter sauces, not as hot, but spiced with ginger and sesame instead. “People think that Japanese and Chinese cooking is the same. Ac- tually, it's different,” said Chan. “You've got to be experienced. It's a little show,” says Chan of Japanese cooking. Tax windfall (Continued from pg. 1) seems to agree. “I don't think it should be 10%. This isn’t Moosic,” Wilson said. “We would never do what Moosic did. We want everybody to make their money,” said Kelly. Greco will be constructing the amphitheater in partnership with DiCesare-Engler Productions, a company which promotes concerts and manages several other amphi- theaters. The amphitheater, to be named the Bud Light Amphitheater be- cause of underwriting from the Anheuser-Busch Company which manufactures Bud Light beer, is expected to be open by Memorial Day weekend. “It looks like we'll have a well- rounded season with country, jazz, reggae and rock,” said Rich Engler, of DiCesare-Engler. Engler said the amphitheater will definitely host performances by John Den- ver and Dolly Parton, though he didn't have dates yet. With underwriting from Anhe- user-Busch, Greco said that they hope to keep ticket prices under $20 each.

The total cost of the amphithea- ter and other renovations will be over $100,000, said Greco, who has a ten-year lease agreement with Shirley Hanson. “Shirley Hanson has had this facility for years. For years they hosted crowds in excess of 4,000,” said Greco in answer to concerns about traffic the amphitheater will bring tothe area. “This wasa mecca of entertainment.” The last season for the amuse- ment park was in 1984. Traffic will be able to enter and exit the facility from two or three locations, Greco said. Greco said that the amphithea- ter stage has been designed so that the sound will shoot towards the woods where some of it will be absorbed, rather than having the sound reflect off of the lake. The natural slope of the land will be used to create the tiered seating. Shows should be finished by about 10 p.m., said Greco. Along with concerts, Greco is planning several ethnic festivals, and has offered the use of the amphitheater to the Northeast Pennsylvania Philharmonic New Unitarian congregation sets services What's Pietism and why is it important?

And I have learned more respect for myself and oth- ers.” Each training session begins with the students entering the room, removing their shoes and showing respect for their country, their teacher and his heritage by bowing to the American and Ko- rean {lags and to Grand Master Ko. He returns their bows, demon- strating his respect for his stu- dents and their heritage. “l definitely plan to earn my black belt,” Tina said. “Most stu- dents don’t qualify the [irst time that they try it.

This is the second part of a two-part project to replace all of the meters in the system that are more than 20 years old, Walp said. Last year 700 old water meters were re- placed. There are other companies calling area residents asking them if they'd like to have their water tested, said Walp, and they probably want to sell a water filtering system. She said she’s had about ten calls from people saying they've been contacted about having their water tested. Walp said that the Dallas/ Shavertown Water Company has not authorized any com- panies to test water.
