8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 28, 1997 Lakefront (continued from page 1) nounced that a proposed ordi- nance to ban certain lawn fertiliz- ers that contain phosphorus will be ready for the next council meet- ing. Noon explained that phos- phates are “food for algae.” Along with the ban on fertiliz- ers, Noon recommended the coun- cil look into stocking the lake with bigger fish to maintain the lake’s ecological balance. “We as a coun- cilmust safeguard the lake,” Noon said. “We live here.” Noon has already asked the Fish Commis- sion to stock more big fish.

Sisters (continued from page 1) Witness women in with other pris- oners considered dangerous, but they would end up converting half of them, said Amanda. The purple triangle the Palmatiers’ use in the project's title was used by the Nazis to identify people as Wit- nesses. : “They were not only the vic- tims, but the victors,” added Kathryn, who said most people were surprised by their informa- tive exhibit. “Many people only know about the Jews’ experience in the camps,” she said. It is esti- mated that six million Jews died at the hands of Nazi Germany. The two were surprised when their names were called over the loud speaker during the awards ceremony. “It was a surprise and a great experience,” said Kathryn, who noted the contest was more competitive than she expected. “There were a lot of different projects, but overall everyone had fun.” More than 2500 walked through PSU’s auditorium over a two-day period, taking in many different angles on a single theme. Peer group seeks volunteers Community Counseling Ser- vices of N.E. PA, an affiliate of Wyoming Valley Health Care sys- tem, has been a leader in innova- tive and diverse services and pro- grams for the elderly has resulted in the Senior Peer Counseling Pro- gram. This program provides one- to-one supportive counseling to senior citizens who are confined to their home, or who don't feel comfortable in a tradiational men- tal health setting. The program will be staffed by volunteers age 55 and older who are able to devote at least three hours a week as Peer Councelor, who enjoys meeting and relating to new people, and who have good listening skills. Volunteers will go through a training program on a variety of topics including: Stress Manage- ment, Confidentiality, Grief, Ill- ness & Injury, Communication Skills, and overall Mental Health issues. The Senior Peer Counseling Program volunteers will provide support, reassurance, and serve as a resource advocate to indi- viduals who are isolated, alone, and in need of some type of inter- vention. Anyone interested in becoming a Senior Peer Counselor Volun- teer, or in making a referral to the program, can obtain more infor- mation by calling Len McNabb, L.S.W., Community Counseling Services, 836- 31 18 or 823-2155.

When we started, we just thought it would be a good experience. We were very excited.” Maryann Storz, a social stud- ies teacher who advises the His- tory Club, is proud of her stu- dents’ accomplishments. “It's very exciting to see your students ex- perience this after months of hard . work,” said Storz, who believes the club has a great support sys- tem built into it, in which each student shares knowledge and experience with others. Storz believes the success ex- perienced by the club in just three short years is telling of the caliber of students who participate in His- tory Day. “We have gone from never entering to making it to nationals,” she said. She said the students did a fine job of telling an obscure, untold story in time. “Their workman- ship is quite extraordinary.” The sisters said working to- . gether was good and the project taught them more than just the subject matter. “I learned a sense of discipline because we had a deadline, how to research topics and writing in general,” said Kathryn. Much of their information came from the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Ho- locaust museum in Washington D.C., where the two visited and interviewed a Holocaust survivor. The sisters look forward to the national competition and main- tain a positive attitude. Other members of the History Club at Dallas Senior High School who made it to the state competi- tion were seniors, Kevin West, Alison Piazza, Tracy Jones, Art Gay and Robert Webb for, “Ti- tanic: Dream to Disaster;” fresh- men, Nora Krakosky, Amanda Jenkins, Morgan McOwen and Brittany Bartolini for, “Anwar Sadat: Peace At Any Price;” and senior James Gavin for “Hunley: To Rise Again.” Trinity Presbyterian plans sale An Attic-Basement and Closet Sale will be held at Trinity Presbyte- rian Church, 105 Irem Road, Dallas (on the road to Irem Temple Country Club) on Sat.

Land owner (continued from page 1) O'Hara is confident the plan- ning commission will turn down Post's request, but is not so sure about the council. “I have no idea what they will do. If it were to go through, I will be at every plan- ning commission meeting (from here on out),” explained O'Hara, who moved into the neighborhood five years ago. He said his main concerns are control of development in the bor- ough, traffic and storm water run off. Alice Droppers, who lives on Huyler Ave. in Stonehedge, is also concerned about an increase in traffic and potential strain on the water supply. “I always knew it would be developed, but I hope it will stay conservation,” she said. When asked why, after leaving it open for 40 years, he wants to develop the 70 acres, Post simply stated, “It’s time to get rid of it. I'm going to give it to my kids.” Post has three children. “It seems more economical to make it R-1,” he said, adding that lots will be one-half acre or 20,000 sq. feet as opposed to the 10,000 sq. feet commonly allowed in an R-1 de- velopment. “That's what seems to be selling in this area.” Post has not chosen a devel- oper or determined what style of house he wants on the property. “It’s too soon to know that. They will be nice houses,” he said. Post is not surprised by the neighbors’ resistance, in fact, he embraces it. “I'm delighted with the response. It keeps people on their feet,” he said. But he ques- tions why he is singled out when other developments; exist in the area. “Why should I be concerned when Stonehedge was built,” said Post, who said that he has no emotional attachment to the land. “I'm not emotional about anything, except my family.” Post, who just got back from a two-week vacation, said at the moment, he wasn't interested in an alternative development plan proposed by the Natural Land Trust. “I haven't thought about it,” he said. The Conservation Subdivision Design is set up to sustain both houses and natural open space while reducing devel- opment costs. Post has an answer for many of the neighbors’ concerns. “It’s not going to overburden the traffic or the water, I checked with the wa- ter company,” he said. O'Hara does not think Center Hill Rd. can support the develop- ment. “It (Center Hill Rd.) can’t handle 150 more cars a day,” he said, basing his figureon a 2.5 car per family ratio. Joan Grossman, who has lived on Highland for more than 20 years, believes if passed, the de- velopment will be one long head- ache for residents of the neigh- borhood. “People will be inconve- nienced for an undetermined amount of time with heavy trucks racing up and down the street,” said Grossman, who thinks it's already too difficult to get out of? her driveway due to speeders. Grossman finds Post’s plans to use Huyler Ave. as an entrance problematic. “Why doesn’t it hap- pen through already existing means,” she asked rhetorically. “I have no idea why they have to go through Huyler Ave.” The pro- posed entrance would run through property belonging to a home- owner there. Post said he is well within his rights to put an entrance on Huyler Ave. because it is a “paper road,” aroad written in on borough maps in the event a development was placed there. Both neighbors and adjacent landowners plan to come in num- bers to the planning commission meeting. Post said he will also be present with his attorney and ar- guments.
