We try to maintain a supply of nonperish- able canned goods for emergen- cies and we always need more food.” ChE SL Be (Nl ENA Ei la. = If you need food The Back Mountain Food Pantry at the Trucksville United Methodist Church Call 696-2917 The Pastor's Pantry at the Noxen United Methodist Church Call 298-2503 items in demand Canned meats, stews, pancake mix, syrup, juice, fruits, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, vegetables, and soups. Food and monetary dona- tions can be made by calling 298-2503. In addition to a Thanksgiving basket, clients of the Back Mountain Food Pantry receive only one grocery order every two months. With the help of a donation of frozen meat from the Commission on Economic Opportunity and unused, left- over chicken from Trucksville United Methodist Church’s fall barbeque, clients have received a bonus in their recent orders, a little bit of meat and poultry. For several years, the children, parents and teachers at the Trinity Learning enter in Dallas have held a season of Thanksgiving food drive to help the Back Mountain Food Pantry meet the holiday needs of their clients. This year they brought in more than 400 pounds of nonperishable food. From left, seated: Kyle Naugle, Mitchell Rome, Joey Nardone, Justin Frederick, Sami Clarke, Alicia Vincelli, Gregory McDade.

They are currently putting an emphasis on breakfast foods like pancake mix and syrups. “We dole out tea and coffee, but we really like to have canned juices and fruits. They're more important,” said Hazeltine. Local groups currently col- lecting food include Student Councils at Dallas Middle School and Dallas High School, athletic groups at College Misericordia, and all member churches in the Back Mountain Ministerium. Dallas Cub Pack 281 also has been busy collecting and sort- ing donations. “We took my son to Gerrity’s and let him buy about $20 worth of food,” said Barry Wagner, Webelo den leader. “He pushed the cart around and picked out the items. He was excited to do it. It’s the giving month.” To make a donation, volun- teer to assist, or for more infor- mation, call the Food Pantry at 696-2917. Residents press complaints against halfway house By CAMILLE FIOTI Post Correspondent DALLAS TWP. — It was standing room only as residents protested the newly opened Clem-Mar transitional house for women at the Nov. 16 supervi- sors meeting. The facility is adjacent to The Mountainside Manor assisted living facility, on Route 309. A major worry for those in attendance is that the women moving into the home will bring drugs, alcohol and trouble with them. The program is designed to help women transi- tion into the community and become productive members of society. Attorney Jerry Cohen spoke on behalf of Clem-Mar, which operates a similar program in Edwardsville. He was a member of the board of directors for The Magdalena House, another halfway house for women that was planned for the same loca- tion earlier this year. He dis- played copies of Times Leader articles dated January 13, 2004 and February 3, 2004, noting plans to open The Magdalena House. “Did anyone here complain about that then?” he asked the crowd. “A fundraiser was held at the Castle Inn in Dallas,” ref- erencing the February article. “No one complained.” He said the home did not open because of lack of state funding. Cohen said that 1,100 clients had passed through Clem-Mar’s doors in the last 10 years. “Keep in mind,” he said, “that in order to be licensed, the Department of Health has to inspect the facilities. They insure that-the staff is qualified and meet their qualifications. They cannot take someone from prison, and they cannot take anyone who is doing drugs. It is strictly volun- tary,” he said. He pointed out that the mayor of Edwardsville, a local priest and many business own- ers are on the board of directors of the Clem-Mar house for men in Edwardsville. “They are a responsible group.” Dr. Joan Greulich, a Dallas pediatrician, asked, “If these ladies are not in transition from drugs, alcohol or prison, then what are they in transition d, Compassion for the Spirit from?” Cohen replied, “Theyre not druggies. Theyre not using drugs at the time (they are in the home).” Fred Whitesell, the original project director at the Edwardsville facility, asked Cohen if the Dallas facility’s cur- rent license is under Clem-Mar or The Magdalena House. Cohen stated that he believes it is under The Magdalena House. “That’s impossible,” said Whitesell. He said it is illegal to transfer a drug and alcohol facil- ity license to another facility. “They presented this as a well- ness center, not as a drug and alcohol facility. If they have any- thing else on their license, then they not only misrepresented this board, but they misrepre- sented the Department of Health.” Solicitor Tom Brennan said that while the facility, which is in a business district, is not in violation of the township zon- ing laws, if Department of Health or Department of Drug and Alcohol regulations are vio- lated it is the prerogative of those agencies to enforce the I'chose Mercy Pediatricians” Now accepting new patients Dr. Sushil S.

We are trying to respond to your complaints, but we can’t go in and say ‘We don’t like your activity there’ if that activity is a lawful activity.” Brennan assured the residents that he would contact the DOH to see if the facility is properly licensed and regulated. In other business: eo Pulverman Enterprises owner Randy Mark announced plans to build a “cocoon” around the sheet metal presses at the Lower Demunds Road plant to control annoying sounds heard by neighbors. Plywood walls and a drywall ceiling will be built around them as recommended by acoustical engineer, Dr. Howard Kingsberry, who conducted a sound study at the plant last week. Mark said he hopes to have the walls done by January and the ceiling done in the spring. ® A decision to vote on a zon- ing change for a proposed hous- ing development owned by developer, John Halbing was tabled until the next meeting.
