14 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 21, 1993 Highway construction timeline Officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penn- DOT) unveiled a proposed schedule for its $3 million highway improve- ment project for the Route 309-415 highway corridor at a public meeting Tuesday, April 13, at the Dallas Middle School. According to community relations coordinator Rollie Keisling, the work will be divided into three phases, expected to begin in June and be completed in mid-1995. «Phase I: Penn-DOT expects to open bids in June, begin work by early fall and finish in the spring of 1994 on construction of a center turning land along a 1.2-mile section of Route 309 between Harris Hill Road and Center Street in Shavertown. The highway will be widened and curbing installed along this stretch. e Phase II: By fall, 1993, Penn-DOT expects to begin work on road modifications and installation of traffic lights at these Route 309 intersections: Franklin Street, Shavertown; Main Road, Dallas (Offset Paperback), and Center Hill/Upper Demunds/Hildebrandt roads. Route 415 intersections receiving work will be at Dallas Corners; West Center Hill Road (Pickett's Charge), and Route 118. Current plans call for Irem Road, at the large Shriner's hat opposite the Country Club Shopping Center, to be closed to traffic. This section is expected to be completed by spring, 1994. » Phase III: In mid-1994, Penn-DOT expects to begin construction of a jughandle to accommodate traffic turning from Route 309 north- bound onto Hillside Road, widening the Carverton Road bridge to accommodate a pedestrian walkway and right turn lane onto Route 309 north and realigning Church Road. Highway (continued from page 1) by Grace R. Dove guests of Irem Temple Country Club. “Increased traffic volume on Church Street could affect traffic at the four-way stop sign at Cen- ter Hill Road and the traffic light on Route 309,” he said. Lemmond and Dallas Borough councilman William Roberts sug- gested that a left turn lane be added on Route 415 north at the Machell Ave. intersection, so that stopped cars there don't cause a backiip on Route 415 at Dallas Corners. J emmond said that many cars use Machell Ave. to go to a family practice clinic, veterinarian’s of-' fice and equestrian school, Gate of Heaven Church and Gate of Heaven School, all located there. Dallas resident Hugh King asked how municipalities would pay for maintenance of traffic signals on municipal borders, for example at Offset Paperback and Pickett's Charge. Under state law, PennDOT may install traffic signals, but the municipalities are responsible for maintenance and paying the elec- trical bills. Rabies (continued from page 1) that rabies vaccinations pro- tect public health by prevent- ing human exposure to the disease. It's also state law. “The vaccination is termed a three-year shot, but it may not necessarily protect a pet for a full three years,” Phillips said. “The length of protection de- pends on the animal's immune system. “Pet owners should consult their family veterinar- ian for more definite informa- tion on how long the shot will protect their pet.” Rabies is a fatal disease of the central nervous system, ~ which can affect all warm- blooded animals, even birds. The virus is transmitted by saliva from a bite or a lick from an infected animal, and occa- sionally produces few symp- toms until its final phase. Kiwanis members will pro- vide manpower for organiza- tion, clerical work and cleanup, while Dr. Phillips will provide the vaccine, certificates and tags for each animal. Pets should be on leashes or in cat carriers. ; In addition to offering a rea- sonably-priced public service, the rabies clinic will help to raise funds for Kiwanis com- munity service projects. b, WET \/ |) “Lifetime” Warranty We will eliminate all water leakage problems.

Franklin Township residents have made several complaints about a dark-skinned man selling lemonade jugs decorated with Disney characters, who contin- ued to try to get into residents’ homes even after they had re- fused to buy anything, according to township secretary Sandy Race. “This is the first year that I've had any complaints,” she said. Police in Dallas, Jackson and Kingston Townships said that they haven't received any complaints to date about peddlers or ques- tionable persons posing as sales- men. Most area municipalities re- quire transient salespersons or peddlers to obtain special per- mits, which they must display while making their rounds. e Franklin Township: A tran- sient permit, good for a month, is available from the township sec- retary for $2. Salespersons must have a Pensylvania address, may only work between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and aren't allowed to sell indecent or morally offensive merchandise. e Kingston Township: Tran- sient permits are available from zoning officer Ben Gorey. e Dallas Township: Peddlers must obtain licenses for $1 per month from the police depart- ment, who will fingerprint and run background checks for crimi- nal arrests on all applicants, according to police chief Carl Miers. Garinger + Dalias Borough: There is a five-day waiting period for a ped- dler’s license, which is available only from the mayor. The police check the applicants’ back- grounds, photograph and finger- print them, according to police chief Jack Fowler. Fees are: one day, $5; one week, $15; one month, $25 and one year, $75. Salespersons working after dark must have special per- mits. ; e Jackson Township: Peddlers’ permits are available from the police. Applicants must wait ten days while the police check their background, fingerprints and references, according to assistant police chief Jerry Leedock. The cost is based on the time that the salesperson will be working in the township. Alaw aimed at controlling flim- flam repairmen preying on the elderly, House Bill 961, is cur- rently under. consideration by the House Consumer Affairs Commit- tee, according to a press release from Representative George C. Hasay, co-sponsor of the bill. The bill prohibits itinerant repairmen from concealing or misrepresenting their names or posing as government officials or agents as an attempt to hoodwink homeowners over 60 to sign a contract for overpriced, shoddy home repairs. “People shouldn't let anyone into their home, unless they know them or the person has produced proper identification,” Fowler said. “Residents shouldn't be afraid to ask the police to check door-to- door salespersons out — all that they need to do is dial 911. If they're legit, they'll have a per- mit.” 8) 50.77 AN: im hie ) DAMENTI'S restaurant] Fine Dining « Excellent Service + Gracious Atmosphere Mother's Day Dining Sunday, May 9 ~ Noon to 7 pm Reservations Recommended 1788-2004 Rt. 309 Mountaintop MC/VISA/Am Ex (continued from page 1) Garinger says helping students in their pursuit of employment has been a relatively simple task. “No matter how tough it is, I've never met a person who didn't get a job,” explained Garinger. “I always tell them that the more rejections you get, the closer you are to getting a job.
