8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 23, 1993 Gordon (continued from page 1) smith described Gordon as a gentleman and a born teacher. “He always made sure that you knew what you were doing before he leftyou alone,” Goldsmith said. “He wanted us to have confidence in our authority as fire police, to keep the traffic moving and things under control.” “He spent many thankless ‘hours out in all kinds of weather with the fire police,” Woolbert said. “We'll miss him.” “Sometimes Pappy G. and me, we worked from dark to dark on the firetrucks,” reminisced King- ston Township road foreman Butch Chamberlain. “We called him ‘Can and Will” because when- ever we asked him if something could be done, he always said, ‘I can and I will." He was a great mechanic.” Chamberlain recalled that he and Gordon rebuilt two Army surplus amphibious vehicles — a “duck” and its smaller cousin, a “Weasel” - for the township to use during times of high water. During a heavy snowstorm in 1971, a woman at Meadowcrest broke her leg and the only way to gether to theambulance, stranded in the storm, was to use the Weasel, Chamberlain said. “Ifyou told him you had a prob- lem, the first thing that he said was that he'd be right down,” Chamberlain said. Shavertown fire chief Gary Beisel recalled that Gordon lent a helping hand whenever he knew that there was a job to be done. “He always came to our fires as well as Trucksville's,” he said. “We knew that we could always count on Jim and the fire police to have traffic under control.” The fire company never had to ask Gordon to direct traffic at its bazaars and auctions — he auto- matically showed up for every one, Beisel said. Beisel chuckled as he remem- bered Gordon's enthusiastic traf- fic control last fall during Dallas High School football team's 1993 championship season, when a screaming convoy of fire appara- tus escorted the team into the Back Mountain after every playoff game. Gordon directed traffic at Carverton Road, then somehow managed to beat the boisterous parade up to the intersection near the high school to let them through. When the crowd began to dis- perse, he was ready to assist the stream of cars and firetrucks leav- ing the school’s parking lot and mobbing Conyngham Ave. “You don't see people giving 52 years of their life to their commu- nity any more,” Beisel said. “Usually they're around for a couple of years, then move on. We'll really miss Jim.” Hanover Bank becomes First Valley Hanover Bank became First Valley Bank on March 18. First Valley has been a part of UJB Financial Corp. of Princeton, New Jersey since 1988.

This has been blown way out of proportion.” Ellen Nagy School board president of where they had come from.” Phillips and attorneys Ted Krohn and Gifford Cappellini, Jr., had threatened legal action if the school board had pursued plans which they said included con- struction of two access roads from Westminster Drive to the fields. “Our concern is the fields’ pos- sible impact on our properties, which we have worked our entire lives for,” Cappellini said. “With- out any increased traffic, young people going back and forth to school have turned Westminster Drive into their own personal garbage dump, throwing soda cans and beer bottles along the road. More traffic could cause our property values to plummet.” “It's wrong to prejudge this project when the beast has yet to be described,” said district solici- tor BendJones, Ill, calling the plans circulating in the neighborhood “a work of speculative art.” Board members said that they had given no official guidelines to Quad Three Group, an engineer- ing firm which drafted a tentative set of plans calling for two softball fields, a soccer field and parking lots. “Many of us never dreamed that there would be parking, lights and loudspeakers,” said board presi- dent Ellen Nagy. “This has been blown way out of proportion.” The board accepted two pro- posals from engineering firms to develop a feasability study of the land, deciding to take no action until property committee chair- man John George finds copies of a survey of the area reportedly done in 1985. Quad Three's $4,700 proposal included survey maps and devel- opment of a plan for one regula- tion softball field, one regulation soccer field and several practice fields. : The company will also provide a construction cost estimate and report to the board within four weeks. Pasonick Engineering's $3,900 didn’t define the scope of the work which they would perform, sim- ply stating that their knowledge and survey maps of the Toby's Creek watershed storm water regulations would make it cheaper for them to do the work.

Greco said that he will pay for police services and follow the ex- isting ordinances, paying a fee based on the attendance for each event. “The money generated from these concerts will benefit the community,” he said. Greco said that although he doesn’t have a firm schedule for the amphitheater yet, he plans to hold performances by Willie Nel- son, Waylon Jennings, Tammy Wynette, Hank Williams, Jr., and Lori Morgan. “For them we're a small book- ing, so we have to take their open dates,” he said. He added that he is now a partner in the concert venue at Montage, which has welcomed him “with open arms.” “I have used my private money to bring good entertainment to the area,” he said. “I don’t have to do all of my shows at Harveys Lake. If there are any unneces- sary problems with the borough officials or the neighbors, I'm not going out of my way. I don't have to operate the place as a concert facility. I don’t know what I'll do with it, but I don’t have to do all of my shows there.” “I don’t have to do all of my shows at Harveys Lake.
