Michelle Barbieri, a Kise Straw & Kolodner planner, asked visitors to her spot, “What would you like to see and not see?” then wrote com- ments on a large display board. At another station, people placed stickers to register a “Yes” or “No” on 12 questions. Getting nearly total support were building more trails and greenways, and zoning to pro- tect the “cultural setting” for historic resources. And while nearly everyone said the Back Mountain lacks all the commercial and retail services residents demand, Barbieri said comments she received indicated people were content going out of the area to shop at “big box” stores.

Standing near the transporta- tion table, Frank Rollman, a member of the Dallas Borough Planning Commission, said he doesn’t think traffic congestion is bad compared to metropoli- tan areas. “But you have to look forward because it’s only going to get worse.” When the meeting recon- vened, Keith Mullins, a trans- portation planner, said “cut- through” and truck traffic, “a use of roads that’s not intend- ed,” were major themes. Hull said the findings will be shared with PennDOT, which is con- ducting a separate study that is expected to lead to a change in the confusing intersection at the center of Dallas. While she liked what she saw at the presentation, Dallas business owner Elva Valentine said follow through will be needed to control and direct growth. “We need more than a plan; we need regulations” that will be enforced consis- tently, she said. voit asvalredd Blomg Harveys Lake offers trash pickup for seniors Harveys Lake Borough will offer curbside pickup of items from homes of senior citizens age 62 or more the weeks of May 16 and May 23.

The stakes couldn't be higher! for Dallas School Director AUCTION Continued from Page 1 co-advisor to the Lake-Lehman Key Club, is more than happy to get her students involved in the project. “I believe charity starts at home,” she explains. “We always try to help in the community and literacy is one of our Key Club platforms.” Many of the students who volunteer with the project cite. an interest in reading and liter- acy as their main motivation. Lauryn Ference, a Lake- Lehman junior, says, “Throughout my whole high school career I've been interest- ed in volunteering. I think it’s a great event to promote reading to younger children and pro- mote literacy in the Back Mountain.” Fellow Key Clubber Ryan Wagner sees similar benefits. “Kids need to be able to go to a good library and do research,” Wagner says. He enjoys visiting the local library because “you feel secure there. There’s a lot of space to read and a large selection.” Others just enjoy the auction so much they want to do more to help keep the tradition alive. Andrew Edgar, a Dallas High freshman and Key Club mem- ber, moved with his family to the area eight years ago. “Ever since I came to Dallas I've gone to the auction and liked it,” he says. “I was excited to work on something I enjoyed.” Edgar has done his other vol- unteer work, working the Kiwanis booth at the Luzerne County Fair and pledge week at WVIA. That love for community service makes the job easier. STYLING i — ® Perms e Waxes Our goal is to make you look and feel your best. Our highly trained staff offers skilled hands, receptive ears and experienced eyes. Key Club members will work before, during and after the auction. Their tasks range from garbage removal to carrying antiques to buyers’ cars and working the food concession stands. According to Honeywell, each Key Club group logs at least 100 commu- nity service hours during the event. The dedication of the volun- teers impresses the Key Club advisors. “They’re very respon- sible, helpful and cooperative,” Shannon Forrer, Dallas advisor, says. “They do their best in everything they try. They're a great group of kids.” Lehman’s Honeywell agrees: “They’re so personable, willing to work with everyone.” Honeywell also notes that the younger generation brings a certain knowledge of the Back Mountain to the event. “They use the library and know the importance of having a commu- nity library.” Snyder is grateful for the stu- dents’ help. “I love to work with them,” he says. “Theyre the greatest asset to the communi- ty. I wish more kids would come out and volunteer.” Snyder says the auction committee is still looking for more volunteers, both student and adult, for the event, which will run from July 7 to 10. The committee needs help before as well as during the auction. Jobs vary, but there is a particular need for trash removal assistance. Interested volunteers can contact Martha Butler at the library, at 675-1182.
