Subsequently, I ran again,” he said with a smile. Cooper has lived in the borough for 20 years. As he looks back over the past eightyears, Cooper has many fond memories and is proud of what the council has accomplished over the years. One highlight for him was getting the building that once housed the Hearthstone Pub torn down. “It had been a real prob- lem. With the help of Senator Lemmond, Ted Krohn and other members of the council, it was condemned,” Cooper said. : Cooper also considers getting traffic lights up on the highway a major accomplishment for the bor- ough. “I'm very pleased we got the lights up at the American Legion and by Mark II,” he said. Over his two terms Cooper said he has worked with many won: derful people. “I'm thankful to the people of Dallas Borough for giv- ing me the opportunity to serve, Also, the manager, solicitor, chief of police for great cooperation and assistance and the majority .of council members,” said Cooper: of his colleagues. -by Kylie Shafferkoetter POST PHOTO/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK EARTH DAY PROJECT Students at Dallas Elementary School decorated hundreds of paper bags donated by Mr. Z's Market in Dallas as part of an Earth Day project.
