POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK Sherri Newell, left, and Polly Whispell posed by the coffee bar at the New Mart in Trucksville, which is expected to open next week, on the site of the former N-Mart. Brand new 'New Mart' ready to open By MEIRA ZUCKER Post Correspondent TRUCKSVILLE - After six months of construction, the new New Mart in Trucksville is ex- pected to open early next week. “We have the most modern conve- nience store now,” said Russ Newell, Jr., one of the store's own- ers. New Mart, consisting of a con- venience store and an accompa- nying gas station, is a part of Newell Fuel Service Inc., which is run by Russ Newell Sr. and Russ Newell Jr. The business began 40 years ago in a home office, and then expanded to a larger site in Shavertown: “We moved to this location in 1980,” said Russ Newell, Jr. The Trucksville building served as both company headquarters and the site of their gas station and conve- nience store. With the onset of new environmental regulations, however, the Newells were forced to ipgrade their tanks or close the gas station. “We had to upgrade our tanks,” said Russ Newell, Jr. Instead of simply closing, the Newells de- cided to take on the competition and upgrade the entire facility, from pumps to store to offices. “It’s part of our business,” Newell said. The expense was large for a family company, but they believed it to be essential. “It was a real good thing for the community,” he said. The extensive construction took six months. “We took the shell of the building and built around it,” said Sherri Newell. Offices and conference rooms were added to the second floor.

POST PHOTO/MEIRA ZUCKER The Grinch was here “Sick to my stomach.” That's how Dallas resident Keith Zinn, pictured, felt when he saw his pine tree missing just a few days before Christmas. His wife, Dorie, and children noticed the gap in their landscaping early one morning. Carl Miers, Dallas Township Police Chief, said this unfortunate “tree-napping” occurs once or twice every December. “Maybe they'll return it now that they're done with it,” says Zinn, with a grimace.
