TRIATHLON Continued from Page 1 Mountain area,” said Gensel. “The bikers go through Dallas, Kunkle, Noxen and Lehman and there wasn’t any traffic back then.” Gensel said the race recently instated a new start time, about an hour earlier than in previous years, in order to avoid heavy traffic. She also said natural gas and other energy developments in the area have made race orga- nizers more aware of traffic con- cerns. “Our basic number one con- cern is safety of the athletes. We have the issue now with the (natural gas industry) — they work 24/7,” said Gensel. “The site manager of the windmill project (in Noxen) has been ve- ry cooperative ... to make sure the trucks don’t interfere with the race.” Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolley said the entire force comes out to ensure the safety of athletes during the event. “It’s a day when no one is off,” he said. “We have the maximum effort because of the number of intersections. It takes everybo- dy I have, and we use every sin- gle vehicle.” Jolley said the most danger- ous part of the race is when bik- ers cross State Route 309 in Kunkle — he ensures there are at least two officers on the scene and has signs posted for drivers to slow down and be alert dur- ing the event. “Around here, we're all aware of the triathlon, but somebody traveling from Monroe County has no clue and there are all these bikes,” said Jolley. “Every year, were greatly concerned for the safety of everyone in- volved. (The race organizers are) well aware of it. It’s just a difficult thing to deal with.” Gensel said the highway crossing is a great concern and believes the route will need to be tweaked in future years in or- der to accommodate the in- crease in traffic over time. “I talked to some of the ath- letes that have been in the race for 30 years and asked for their help,” said Gensel. “I'm an orga- nizer, so I asked for their help to try to find a different route for next year. I don’t know if pos- sible, but I'd like to try. It’s still a safe route, but maybe we don’t have to go over 309. We may have to go over it sooner or lat- er, but were going to try and see, find alternatives, see what does work.” Jolley said not only has the population increased in the Back Mountain, but also the way people spend their time, which he believes affects the Sunday morning traffic pat- terns. “It used to be that Sunday morning was a nice quiet morn- ing with everyone home,” said Jolley. “Now, it looks like Mon- day morning.” Thanks to local law enforce- ment and the municipalities in which the event is located, Gen- sel said the race can continue for another 30 years. “We couldn’t do it without support from the Back Moun- tain community, from the fire and ambulance, to the police de- partments to council mem- bers,” she said. | by Bob Zaruta, head football coach at Dallas High School, and his coaching staff.
