The Petroskis have ‘evn asked Haines and Kibble- hause, Inc., the mother compa- ‘ny of Pikes Creek Asphalt, if they would consider selling a portion of the zoned mining land to them. When the Petroskis bought their 29 acres on Coslett Road in 1998, they knew there was a quarry but believed there exist- ed a good buffer of land between their property and the quarry. They had no idea the quarry butted up against their proper- ty.

The Petroskis were told by of- ficials of Haines and Kibble- house, Inc., at an open house held by the mining company in July, that blasting and mining of the 34 acres adjacent to their property line and of their Coslett Lane neighbors could happen within the next five years de- pending upon the economy and business opportunities of the mining company.

Kanjors- ki (PA-11) announced.today that Dallas Fire & Ambulance, Inc. has been awarded an $18,000 Firefighter Investment and Re- sponse Enhancement (FIRE) grant. ; “Long before last year’s terror- ist attacks, it was clear to me that firefighters in our area and around the country needed fed- eral assistance to provide emer- gency services in our communi- ties. That is why I worked with Members of Congress from both parties in the spring of 2001 to convince the Bush Administra- tion to continue funding for FIRE grants-instead of eliminat- ing them as the Administration had proposed,” Congressman Kanjorski said. The grant is being awarded for fire operations and firefighter safety needs. Congressman Kan- jorski was an original co-spon- sor of the FIRE program which has now provided a total of $671,033 to communities in the 11th District over two years.

Party (continued from page 1) Supporting Autism for Fami- lies Everywhere (SAFE), a local autism support organization based in Wilkes-Barre. “Our kids don’t need any more presents; we like to raise money for SAFE; when they raise enough money, they have autism conventions that teach different therapies,” said Terry Serafin about the reason for holding the party. The event brought people in from Wilkes-Barre to Orange, people who knew the Serafins personally and others who heard by word of mouth. “My son's speech therapist in- vited us,” said Camille Seyer from. Pittston, whose son Joshua has autism. “He was di- agnosed in May; this is the first time we've ever gotten together with other families,” she said. Jim Dunbar and his son Quinton know the Serafins through the SAFE support group. He explained those in- volved with the organization raise money in different ways to fund activities such as going to see shows at the Kirby center or family summer camp excur- sions. “When 'you do these group things and all the kids have autism you don’t have to feel the burden of explaining yourself,” said Dunbar. Terry said she doesn’t doubt that the party will raise enough money to hold the convention this year in Wilkes-Barre. The money raised goes to help cover convention costs such as bring- ing in speakers to talk about learning techniques as well as financial assistance for care- givers who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend.

Nicol said there are thousands of organizations like his across the country, and around the world. “It's the same everywhere; people are working on their local records to preserve them,” said Nicol. The group is heavily commit- ted to microfilming records. Vol- unteers spend numerous hours transferring paper documents such as cemetery records, civil records, naturalization records and church records onto micro- film, which, according to Nicol, has a shelf life of 500 years. One of the group's current projects is transferring 50 years worth of newspapers from the Pittston Dispatch onto microfilm. One of the goals of the process is to create two copies — one for the newspaper and one for the genealogical society — to help prevent the possibility of a loss. The information about weddings, graduations, sporting events, property transfers and more can aid people in tracking down in- formation about their ancestors as well as local history. Nicol said the group also hosts guest speakers regularly that discuss topics ranging anywhere from preserving photos to Ger- man immigration. Appointments at the research center will be available on Thursdays and Saturdays. To make an oppointment call 674- 7648 or write: The Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Association P.O.
