8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 1, 1999 Downtown —— (continued from page 1) ended but these youngsters can still look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor. Six benches have been purchased with the nearly $2,200 raised. The remain- ing funds have been used to pur- chase a commemorative plaque, flower boxes, flowers and may provide banners and trash bins as well. “We already have the benches, the flower boxes and plants,” said Puchalsky. “Plus we designed a sign which will recog- nize the students who volunteered their time to the Main Street Project.” Beth Ann Puchalsky, Tara's mother, said she and borough officials are still scouring catalogs and brochures for affordable waste baskets which would help elimi- nate litter along Main Street. “You would not believe how much these things cost and it's not like they are all that aesthetically pleas- ing,” she said. This is Tara Puchalsky's first venture as a community activist and it's something she may con- tinue. “I feel really happy because I was surprised how many people cared enough to get involved,” she said. “It made me feel good to know we were doing something important.” Milton Lutsey, Dallas Borough Manager, agrees that the project is a positive thing for the town. “Everybody says Dallas is the heart of the Back Mountain; I prefer to think of it as the hub, but it’s nice to see young people are concerned about our community,” he said. Even more important than the improvements planned for Main Street, these students, some of whom already have moved on to high school, have gained a sense of their place in the world. “I guess when you take on a project like this it is a chance to feel like you can be a part of something bigger than yourself,” said Puchalsky. A ceremony celebrating the ef- forts of the Dallas students will be held Friday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. on the post office grounds. The plaque noting their accomplishments will be unveiled.
