Math (continued from page 1) said McCarthy. During indoor recesses, the children are play- ing math games. “I like it,” said Jane Tolomello, mother of first grader Abrianna Tolomello. “The things they are learning are important. They are excited about it.” “Another thing I like is when they have math homework, the parents participate,” Tolomello said. Fifth grader Jeremy Bess agrees with Tolomello about new math. “I -think some of the (word) problems can help us in life,” he said. Along with problem solving, new math also focuses on mon- ey. Students learn about count- ing and making change. Thanks to new math, Bess also feels confident that no one will cheat him at the cash register. Dallas U.M.

Planning Commission has recommended rejec- tion of a zoning change for the former Westmoreland Elementary School. Westmoreland (continued from page 1) Permitted uses of B-1 proper- ties include retail stores, person- al services, professional services and offices, banks, commercial offices, soda fountains, taverns, cafes or restaurants (without en- tertainment), clubs, lodges, parking areas, mortuaries, and utilities (except storage yards). With the wide variety of uses for a B-1 property, residents and the commissioners are con- cerned about what the future may hold. Legally the commis- sion cannot place any type of re- strictions on the land once it is rezoned. “Once you're locked into the zoning, you're locked in. There's nothing you can do to change or make certain allowances that he’s only going to do this or he’s only going to do that,” said Scott Gallup, Division Street. “Who's to say they don’t bring an Adult World in. They like to pick a spot on a back street like that. He has the say once it's changed,” Gallup said. Robert Murdock, who lives on South Lehigh Street next to the school, voiced his concerns for his neighborhood. “This is an R- 1 area, it was made an R-1 area because it is an R-1 area.” Murdock said there are other exceptional uses for the proper- ty, but Nancy Eckert, the listing Child safety day Nov. 17 “Who' Ss to say they | to pick a a spot on a back street like that. He has the | agent with Lewith and Freeman Real Estate, said Ciravolo’s pro- posal is the best she’s heard from prospective buyers. “We have had no fewer than 10 people come and look at the property,” Eckert said. Most of the interest in the building she’s seen came from groups that would like to use the building for drug and alcohol rehab or a residential school for adolescent boys. p After ‘listening to testimony from Ciravolo and the residents, the planning commission voted to recommend rejecting the re- zoning of the former school. The Kingston Township Board of Su- pervisors will have the final say in the rezoning issue. Twin Stacks, Building Blocks Day Care and Learning Center, and the Dallas Borough Police will sponsor a Child Safety Day Saturday, Nov. 17, from 10-a.mste~4-p:m.

Townsend sees marks of the tragedy - throughout the city every day. He lives next to En- gine Company 16 Ladder 7's fire house. The fire company lost a number of firefighters on Sep- tember 11. He passes the can- dles and posters people place in front of the firehouse to remem- ber those fallen heros. Another symbol hangs on street posts and on buildings, the photos and posters of the missing. “You don’t want to di- minish people's hopes, but they serve as constant reminders of what happened.” Probably the most powerful re- minder of September 11 for Townsend is a spot on the street outside his office building where Broadway meets Wall Street. He stood in that spot as the second plane hit the World Trade Tow- ers. Weeks later, when he re- traced his footsteps of Septem- ber 11, he said, “It has hit home.” “I think New York ‘and the United States are going to be stronger after this in the long run.” _ David Townsend Dallas native ving | in lower Manhattan “If I can deal with this, I can deal with anything,” Townsend said. “I think I'm definitely a stronger person for it. I think New York and the United States are going to be stronger after this in the long run.” As people returned to the area around ground zero, Townsend said, there was a real effort to clean everything up. The streets were spotless, but on the other side of the fences decorated with posters from school children and flags sent from other nations, it still looks like a war zone. Shops and restaurants are be- ginning to reopen and every week, little by little, restrictions in the area are being eased. Gone are most of the Army and National Guard troops, who were checking passports and driver licenses of people in the area. But Townsend said that about once a week something pops-up to bring back Septem- ber 11. One week on his way to work it was a piece of yellow/orange paper blowing around the ceme- tery inside the gates of Trinity Church. The first thing Townsend thought of was a boarding pass for an airplane. He wanted to pick the paper up, but the area was still considered a crime scene, so he left it. Townsend is having a difficult time understanding the number of tourists visiting ground zero. He sees thousands of people be- ing led on guided tours of the area and taking photos. “After we lived through this,” he asked, “why would these peo- ple ever want to come down to this? I definitely think they've had a different reaction.” ‘Moving on’ and ‘getting back to normal’ is taking a- little longer for New Yorkers - like Townsend. Many major compa- nies in the area are relocating to New Jersey, midtown Manhattan or Connecticut, but Townsend isn’t going anywhere. He said he needs to be where the exchange is and that’s where he will stay.
