POST PHOTO/KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER WORD ONTHE STREET Q.: Do you own a cellular phone? Do you think towers should be camouflaged? JOHN TANIS Harveys Lake “No, | don’t own a cell phone. It would be nice to see them camouflaged. | think it would be better than a regular tower.” JOHN COLE Harveys Lake “No. Yeah, it would be nice to camouflage them. | live at the lake and don’t have to look at them. They're all over the mountains, so what difference would it make?” WILLIAM YOSCELLIS Harveys Lake “No. If one was right next door I'd probably be interested in camouflage. It would be nice to have some blend in with the environment.” Trail (continued from page 1) POST PHOTO/KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER PA Conservation Corps employees work full-time on the Back Mountain Trail in Luzerne. Jennifer Klapat of Wilkes-Barre and Mike Furson of Harding clear away branches, leaves and rocks before leveling and widening the trail. on individual needs, such as adult literacy tutoring, vocational edu- cation, college courses and job- search workshops. Many people earn their GED while working for PCC. Klapat has already attended a seminar on drug and alcohol and Furson attended search and res- cue training. Both Klapat and Furson found the PCC at the unemployment office. “I was sick of waitressing. This is all right. I was sore (after the first day), but it’s all right,” she said. Furson said he will work on the trail until it’s time for him to join the military. They meet every weekday at 8 a.m. and work until 4 p.m. They have learned how to use a variety of tools, such as spades, shovels and poles for rock removal. Judy Rimple, ASTA president, is overjoyed with the program. “It's ideal to have local people building local trails. Not only do - we get money for materials, we get a team on the trail every day,” said Rimple, who has been heading the grassroots organization for four years. “Grants are scary. I was elated to get this one. The grant is really important, it makes it possible so that the crews can stay here for a long time,” she said. “This valley needs greenways and open space.” Klapat is proud of the work she. and her crew have completed so far. “We're making the trail more accessible and walkable. We've done about 20 ft. so far. It looks so much better,” said Klapat, who appreciates what PCC has to of- fer. “It's something different and I'm getting muscles,” she said, . with a laugh. Although, the Corps grant of- fers funds for materials, the trail blueprints call for signs, benches, fences, a retaining wall, creek crossings, erosion control meth- ods, landscaping and surface material. ASTA estimates con- struction costs for the first two miles will be $200,000. Volunteers are encouraged to help on Clean Up days that will occur once or twice a month throughout spring and summer. A kick-off construction party for the trail will be held Thursday, April 2 at 6 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Dining Hall in Luzerne. There will be a $10 entry fee. The PCC crew will be there for intro- ductions and people can sign up for different events to be held on the trail.
