That's what gives it the dirty appear- ance,” he explained. Buses (continued from page 1) 6:05 a.m., and the last run out leaves Public Square at 5:50 p.m. J TE a “It’s really neat. It looks like a bright star with a blurry tail.” Alex Tasco Dallas Hale-Bopp accelerates as it gets closer to the sun. It is believed to have reached its maximum speed of 160,000 mph on April 1. Alex Tasco, 9, of Dallas is no stranger to astronomy. Last sum- - mer he went to Rosser’'s Astronomy camp. Although he had seen Hale- Bopp through his own telescope, Tasco came to the observatory for an even better look. “It's really neat,” he said. "It looks like a bright star with a blurry tail.” Rosser said he has heard many an ooh and ahh from observers. “The artistic expression is hard to find words for. It's beautiful,” said Rosser. The observatory will remain open for viewing the comet through April 8. It is also available for group reservations. For more in- formation call 675-9278. Square dance — (continued from page 1) think about anything else. It takes your mind off everything else,” said Smith. “There are many ad- vantageous features to it. One is you get to eat,” he added with a chuckle. EE “My husband and 2 1 dons dress up. oe s a lot of fun.” Mildred Cook Noxen Glowach agrees. “The callers are constantly calling out differ- ent calls, so you can’t worry if you left the light on because you have to concentrate. Then you find yourself laughing and letting go,” he said. Another important aspect of the dancing is the colorful costumes. For formal dances, the women wear lightweight dresses with full petticoats. The men usually wear a western style long-sleeved shirt and slacks. Couples tend to wear matching colors. “My husband and I always dress up,” said Cook. “It's a lot of fun.” « For more information on the Northeastern Pennsylvania Square and Round Dance Federation's first annual dance, call 696-1093. | Yoter applications -available at the Post Mail-in voter registration ap- plications are available at the office of The Dallas Post.

FCC (continued from page 1) health regulated and environmen- tally sound. Sal Cinaquegrani, vice presi- dent of corporate communications of 360 Communications in Chi- cago, said, “No cellular company just decides to put a tower any- where. They are strategically placed.” Atan earlier township meeting, Rusnock said the height was nec- essary to provide clear service to Cellular One customers and oth- ers who might use the tower. Asked if two smaller towers was an op- tion, Rusnock simply said, “a smaller tower would not work for us.” He did not offer further de- tail. Alarge tower provides the com- pany owning it many opportuni- “Every area has its own needs, but there are many places to put towers and antennas.” Melvin Spann Staff engineer, Federal - Communications Commission ties to lease space for other users, even other cellular phone compa- nies. An employee of Common- wealth Telephone who asked not to be named said any lease be- tween the township and Cellular One should guarantee that the township receives a share of that Storm (continued from page 1) Overbrook Ave. near the Overbrook Inn. Earlier in the day, a luxury 4-wheel-drive bounced off a guard rail on Main Street in Dallas. On Tuesday morning, police and ambulance personnel were called for a car partially over a bank on Manor Drive and “teeter- ing,” with people inside. By the time emergency crews arrived the driver was out of the car and reported no injuries. UGI reported 250 customers in the Back Mountain area lost ac- cess to their electricity. One hun- dred of people live in Hemlock Gardens at Harveys Lake. Their power was out from 6:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. Another 45 Noxen resi- dents also experienced an outage. “All of the outages were caused by fallen trees,” said Joe Rymer of UGI. “It is very common, espe- cially in a wooded area for trees to hit the lines during high winds.” He added, "Aside from the neigh- borhoods, approximately 35 indi- vidual residents experienced out- ages.” John J. Wilkes, Jackson Twp. roadmaster, said the storm wasn’t that bad, but people were not psychologically prepared for it. “A week ago I was raking my yard and now I'm shovelling it. It seems worse because of when it hap- pened,” said Wilkes. “Our main problem was with snow drifts cov- ering and blocking some lanes.” James Balavage, Kingston Township chief, said the storm did not yield anything out of the ordinary and that most the dam- age was caused by the wind. King- ston Twp. police responded to two fallen trees. Balavage said many drivers are not as cautious as they should be in these condi- tions. “I think this alarmed people because they were not ready for it. It surprised a lot of people be- cause it was the lastday of March,” he said.

Cinaquegrani said there are many variables and options for tower placement. “It depends on topography, foliage and people's concerns. It's amazing how you can hide a tower. In Harrisburg, we sandwiched a tower behind a hotel billboard and no one noticed it. Another way is to hide them with foliage,” he explained. Cinaquegrani, who has been in the cellular business for over 10 years said open communication with the public is a necessity in the business. “It's a balancing act. Any cellular company talks with local officials and attends public hearings. They work with the cell site and with the people's concerns,” he said. "Openness and communication are critical. The is not in exclusion.” Rusnock was accused by some residents of playing on emotions when he spoke of safety issues as a reason for the cellular tower, but Cinauegrani supported Rusnock’s claims. He believes cellular phones have had an im- pact on decreasing traffic fatali- ties. “700,000 emergency calls a month are made from cellular phones,” he said. Cellular One’s records show 57,000 emergency calls were made from cell phones in the past year. The township, which plans to lease the land to Cellular One, will seek zoning board approval on Tuesday April 8 at 7:30 p.m. There are 16 trips each weekday and 11 on Saturday. Brown said there are no plans to increase service, and that service to outly- ing areas like Lehman and Harveys Lake had “failed miserably.” Bus fare is $1.25 each way, and two specials are available: the “fare deal” of $30 monthly for unlimited use, and a package os. 20 tickets for $15. There is also a student program in the summer months that offers unlimited trips from June to Labor Day for $20. In response to a question, Brown said the operating cost for smaller buses is nearly identical to that for large ones, and using smaller buses would require more trips or longer waits on popular. routes. He said several of the rid-+* ers to the Back Mountain were employed at Offset Paperback. The Back Mountain Business and Professional Association will meet next at Merrick Hall on the campus of College Misericordia Thurs., April 10 beginning at 11:45 a.m. The main speaker will be Mary Joan Kevlin, executive director of the Pennsylvania Downtown Cen- ter, a statewide non-profit organi- < zation that works with small and large communities to stimulate business districts in small towns and cities. Kevlin will discuss strategies that could be used to build stronger ties between busi- nesses and the larger commu- nity.
