16 The Dallas Post i Dallas, PA ‘Wednesday, November 11, 1992 Lights (continued from page 1) Modifications to other intersections, including Routes 118 and 415, Routes 415 and 309, Irem Road and Route 309 by the Dallas School District's administrative offices, and Route 309 and Hildebrandt Road, also will be considered at Thursday's meeting. “The traffic light for the Route 118-415 intersection is still a big if,” Liuzzo said at a meeting of the association's Incident Management subcommittee Monday night, November 9. King said that adding a traffic light on Route 309 at Hillside Road will move the current evening rush hour tieup back down the highway to Hillside Road. “You can't avoid it. The first traffic light always creates a tie- up,” he said. “But I'm sure that it won't back up all the way down to Luzerne. I hope not.” Committee member Ben Phillips and Dallas Township supervisor Frank Wagner asked if the timing of the traffic light at the Route 309- 415 inters :ction could be changed. “Only four or five cars at a time can go through the light in the southbound lane of Route 309. In the morning it backs up all the way to the Rite-Aid drug store,” Wagner said. “I've seen drivers cut through housing developments and zig-zag around the speed bumps in Weis Market's parking lot to sneak onto the highway above the light. It looks like a game. It would make a really funny video,” Phillips added. Wagner also asked if right turn lanes could be added on Route 309 at Hildebrandt Road to help keep traffic moving, and requested that PennDOT consider blocking off or restricting access to Irem Road from Route 309, the site of many accidents. Dallas Borough, Kingston Township and Dallas Township officials have been trying for several years to obtain funding for the traffic lights, which cost more than the municipalities could afford. They were told that state and federal funding were not available unless highway construction had created the intersection. Through the efforts of State Representative Phyllis Mundy, the office of State Transportation Secretary Howard Yerusalem made an exception to this rule because the opening of the Cross-Valley Expressway had created a “mini- interstate,” a unique situation, in the Back Mountain. Federal money is now available to install the traffic lights and modify other intersections, at no cost to the Back Mountain municipalities. Church (continued from page 1) “The church was renovated last year, but this is an old church with the original structure still very much intact,” Libeck said. “Prior to the opening of the new building, members would take turns holding services in each other's homes,” Arnold said. She added that like a circuit judge, each community had a circuit minister who rode from town to town in order to conduct worship services. Libeck said that the original church was organized in 1820 and the original congregation worshiped in a log schoolhouse for several years. In addition, Libeck said that members also worshiped in the outdoors near the Huntsville Cemetary. Libeck said that the church was important to the early settlers Education because it was the center of social activity for the community. This is something which Arnold feels is important even today. “The small congregation of 30 people is like going home on Sunday,” Arnold said. “The people are nice and it's really a nice country church for me.” “What has kept this church going through over 115 years of continuous uninterrupted service is a group of hard working people who have always been there for us,” Libeck said. The size of the church lends itselftoa helping atmosphere where all the members pitch in and help on projects, Arnold said. She recalls events like the church's pastie sale in which the men work ona Friday night in order to prepare allof the ingredients and the women ( make the pasties over the weekend. The one program which needs toexperience growth is the church's youth program, Arnold said. Currently, there are only four children in Sunday school because of the older congregation which attends the church, Arnold said. Although the youth program needs developing, Libeck believes that the church is really in a transition period, in which new people will be able to take over from those who have been there for many years. “We are doing a lot of planning for the future as to which direction we will be taking,” Libeck said. “Because we have a number of elderly members, there is a transition of generations in the church.” (continued from page 1) community groups to visit Westmoreland.

One hundred twenty-five children will participate in the program which will follow the unit on Pilgrims which the students recently completed. “Our Thanksgiving play is really an entire pageant in which poems and songs will be performed by our students in order to tell the story of the Pilgrims in Massachusetts,” Bunny said. “In addition to the student work which will be on display at Weis Market, every student's work will be on display during our open COINS & JEWELRY 18 Church Street Dallas, Pennsylvania (Next to Rea & Derick) Hours: house,” Bunny said. Such work comes from the third graders in Fred Wesley's class. The group has spent some time learning about the local community and their class projects will be on display in the hall. “What the students have done is studied our community and their project was to build models of our community,” Wesley said. These models include a scale model of Hillside Dairy and even the Dallas Elementary School building. Bunny said that the school's PTO will provide refreshments after the open house. In addition, students will have a suprise waiting for them when they visit with their parents. “We really want to let the kids know that we appreciate having them as students in our school,” Bunny said.
