"Everything will increase for us but the biggest difference is in the facilities for Sunday School. Here, the classes are tucked into whatever space we could find," said Rev. Grube. The original designs called for a full wing with offices and two community rooms but that has been postponed for now. "Due to the sheer expense involved, we weren't able to do it at this time," Pastor Grube said. However, the church, like many of the churches in the Back Mountain, is demonstrat- ing the importance of their out- reach programs. "Seven classrooms were spe- cially designed to meet federal and state requirements for the Head Start program. We will be the new Dallas location for Head Start which will allow that pro- gram to double in the Back Mountain," said Pastor Grube. Head Start is a federally fund- ed education program predomi- "My biggest concern is in taking leave of this place with care. There are 75 years worth of memories here ..” Rev. Charles Grube St. Paul’s Lutheran nately targeted at preschool age children to prepare at-risk chil- dren to enter kindergarten. The Head Start program is currently located at Lehman Jackson Ele- mentary School and has two half-day sessions that are com- pletely filled. The second loca- tion would allow for the same or perhaps an increased number of children to attend a full-day pro- gram. "There is a real growing sense of community in the Back Mountain," said Pastor Grube. "Area pastors and community leaders have been very support- ive and this move is not just a St. Paul's thing for us. I hope our new building is a communi- ty endeavor."

By SANDY PEOPLES Post Correspondent DALLAS - Last week, 180 curious stu- dents and three dedicated science teachers turned the gymnasium at Dal- las Middle School into a land of imagi- nation, exploration and wonder. It was the 4th annual Science Fair and the students had put a great deal of thought and work into their projects. Their ex- periments were conducted with creativi- ty, and their displays were colorful and well laid out. "Its a rite of passage for eighth graders," said science teacher, Dan Fly- nn. "We also had 15 entries from ex- tremely gifted 6th -grade science stu- dents." Flynn and two other science teachers, Christie Potera and Robyn Moore, had provided the leadership and guidance for the students to develop a wide vari- ety of experiments. The projects were y " A el hig VE. Dan Thimot, 2nd place, Behavioral Science Experiment: To measure the effects of light, food and water changes on goldfish. Result: Changing the water had the most effect, im- proving their activity.

Sarah Vodzak, 1st place, Life Science Experiment: To measure the effect of wave- lengths of light on the growth of marigolds. Result: No effect. Student's comment on winning: "l was very happy to win." "We're very proud of our students. A lot of work went into these projects.” Dan Flynn Science teacher conducted in three categories: behavioral science, life science and physical science. First, second and third place awards were presented in each area. "We're very proud of our students,” said Nextel (continued from page 1) In a related ruling, Ben Gorey, Kingston Township zoning offi- cer, served legal notice on Febru- ary 14 that Nextel's application for conditional use of the R-1 (Residential) zoned property did meet the requirements of the Township Zoning Ordinance as amended by Ordinance No.2000- 3 regulating the placement of communications towers, anten- nae and facilities adopted on Science Experiment: To measure the effects of sight on the taste of food using 4 colors of pudding.

"A lot of work went into these pro- jects." It was clear to a visitor that the kids had learned a lot and were very proud of their own accomplishments and those of their friends and fellow students. Davis | her whole self into whatever she does." Over the years, Davis has had many opportunities to work with people. She was a certified pharmacy technician at the Trucksville Pharmacy. At the present time, she is a nurse's aide at the Mercy Cen- ter, and has recently entered the practical nurse's program ® at the Wilkes-Barre Vocational Technical School. She has taught EMT classes and has been a volunteer CPR instruc- tor for the American Heart As- sociation. Why does Davis want to be the mayor of Dallas? "This is a great community and I love my neighbors," she said. "Former ® mayor Paul LaBar and I were on the same ambulance crew, | and 1 watched how he re- sponded to people with an iq open-door policy. I would like to be a leader in keeping that tradition going. I'm also con- | cerned about our youth. Dallas | needs to come up with some ideas for positive and creative things for our young people to do." ® ) Davis didn't know until re- cently that she ‘is the first woman to run for this position. "It doesn't matter," she said. "It's not an issue in this day and age. It's more important what you have in your heart. I'm a patient person who is willing to listen and weigh all sides. I'll want to hear ideas ' from the public about potential resources we can use to make things better." | ' The primary is May 6. "Why should people vote for Maggie Davis?" will be asked. "I'll work hard for them," she said, "because I care deeply about them and this commu- nity. People who know me have given me good feedback about running for the office. ¢ & They know that I have good in- tentions and will be an advo- cate for them. I'm just an ordi- nary citizen who wants to make a difference." (continued from page 1) It’s easy to subscribe. Use the handy coupon on page 2 April 12, 2000. The Preliminary Opinion of the Zoning Officer states that the premises can be improved for conditional use as proposed for wireless telecommu- nications facilities if the company complies with all Kingston Town- ship zoning ordinances. “The request for this ruling came in very late in the process,” said Gorey. “Ordinarily it occurs earlier because if it is denied, they can go right to the courts to appeal my decision instead of spending all the time on the local hearings. It really doesn't have any effect at this point because the Board of Supervisors denied the request,” he said. The next step is now up to Nextel Partners. Their options in- clude looking for a new site or appealing the decision of the Board of Supervisors in court.
