Kyla OBrien, 4, is a noble citizen. She does chores,

helpsher mother, Jenelle, aroundthe house regularly

and tries her best to be nice to her 2-year-old brother

Braden.Forher gooddeeds,Kyla gets a few coinsin a bucket

to save for something her little heart desires. But a culmi-

nation of her good deeds turned into an even greater sacri-

fice earlier this year. Kyla, of Dallas, gave up a fancy pair of

shoesand donated her good deeds money to the SPCA of Lu-

zerne County for all the animals to have toys and food and

everything they need.

Jenelle said Kyla wanted a newpair of shoes, but not just any oldshoes Sketchers Twinkle Toes,thepink, sparklyshoes thatlight upwhen the soles touch the ground.

But with a price tag of around$40, Jenelle decided to have Kylaearn the money through good be-havior and household chore re-wards rather than shelling out thecash right away.

My husband says things dont

come easy in life, said Jenelle. I

dont want her to ask for a pair ofshoes and get them, but I wantsomething good to come out ofwhatshe wants. Therewardis inal-so how she feels (when she does agood deed).

Jack Evans, 89, can vividly re-call his service in the U.S. mili-tary during World War II.

Not that he needs any remind-ing there have been televisionprograms, movies and books cre-ated to document the experienc-es of his unit, the E Company(Easy Company) of the 2ndBattalion, 506th Parachute Infan-try Regiment assigned to the101st Airborne Division of theU.S. Army.

He parachuted behind enemylines in Normandy on June 5,

1942 the day before UnitedStates forces stormed French

beaches in what is often consid-ered one of the most importantbattles in United States militaryhistory.

Evans, of Trucksville, was oneof eight honored at the BackMountain Ecumenical MensBreakfast on May 3 for their ser-vice during World War II. Othershonored were Willis Ide, GeorgePyle, Peter Roushey, Peter Ge-orge, former state Sen. CharlesLemmond and Kenneth Cos-grove. Wally Gosart was alsoamong the honorees but couldnot attend the breakfast.

The honor was a surprise. Thebreakfast, a weekly event for the

group,wasorganizedto celebrateMothers Day with the wives ofthe approximately 80 men wholive throughout the Back Moun-tain.

Representatives from the stateHouse of Representatives andSenate offices, as well as a repre-sentativefrom U.S.Congressman Tom Marinos office presentedcertificates to the men to com-memorate the service of thegreatest generation.

Before he knew he was beinghonored, Evans compared thecloseness of the Ecumenical

group to the tight-knit way of lifehe experienced in the military.

We have closeness in fellow-ship, he said of the group, ofwhich hes been a member for afew years. Were genuinely con-cerned about one another.

Ide, 86, was stationed in Stutt-gart, Germany with the U.S. Ar-mythedaythe war ended Sept.

Dallas Township Planning Commissionmembers received an introductory presenta-tion Tuesday for Williams Field ServicesLLCs land development and subdivision ap-plications for its proposed pipeline project.

Residents also attended the meeting, pre-pared to address safety and location con-cerns. The proposed 33 mile SpringvilleGatheringLinewouldtap intotheTransco in-terstate pipeline at a site off HildebrandtRoad,about1,800 feet from theDallasSchoolDistrict campus.

Michael Dickinson, manager of operationsand technical services for Williams, present-edan overview of theproject,includingitses-timated5 milesof pipelinelocatedinDallasand Franklin townships in Luzerne County.

The pipeline would begin near Springville Township in Susquehanna County, weavethrough Wyoming County to a compressorstation near Tunkhannock Township and

cross24 propertiesin LuzerneCountyto endat a maintenance and tap site on 2 of 4 acresowned by William and Priscilla Perry.

The company withdrew a joint applicationat theApril12 planningcommission meetingfor land development and subdivision for anatural gas metering station to measure thegas going into the Transco line. That struc-ture,which wouldinclude a communicationstower, two 3,000-gallon tanks of mercaptan, various piping and valves and condensatetanks, was planned for the Perry property.

Williams attorney Shawn Gallagher saidthe company still plans to pursue its zoningapplication for special exceptions for the me-tering station. That hearing will be held May16. The company could not receive land de-velopment approval for the metering stationlast month becauseits usewas notpermittedyet by the zoning hearing board.

Planning Commission Solicitor WilliamMcCalltoldresidents thepurposeof thecom-mission is to ensure the applicant meets allthecriteria of thesubdivision andland devel-opment ordinance, and, if it does, the appli-cant is entitled to approval.

He said the commission votes to make arecommendation tothe township supervisorsfor the project after all the plan details havebeen analyzed by commission members andvarious engineers involved in the project.

Three commission members were at themeeting, Chairman Jack Dodson, Bob Be-secker Jr. and Dan Jones, while two others,

Too manyyears in southFlorida hasthinned myblood and itwasnt until lastweek when the

temperature stayed in the 60sthat the winter parka was putaway. The snow shovel found its

place in the corner of the cellaralong with the bucket of rocksalt, only to be replaced with aweed whacker and a bucket ofhand trimmers on the frontporch.

The recent rains must havecontained steroids since everyblade of grass here in Lehman isgrowing faster than the price ofgasoline. With the current priceof gas comes a dilemma. Do yourun the riding mower at fullthrottle as usual, consume threetanks (3 gallons) of fuel and getall the grass cut in about fourhours or do you run half throt-tle, use two tanks of fuel andtake six hours?

Were talking almost $16 infuel per week if you only cutonce. Guess the days of theneighbor kid coming by with anold non-motorized push mower

to cut your grass for $5 aregone.

I can just envision an en-

trepreneurial youngster with amower today. Earrings glisten-ing, talking with a lisp due tothe stud in his tongue, hat onbackwards, tattoos and lookingat his feet while talking insteadof making eye contact, afterhaving pulled up in his fathersAvalanche with a custom trailertowing a riding mower that hasmore gadgets than a JamesBond car.

The mower would have re-mote control start and no back-up pull start cord. Wouldntwant to get a blister now, wouldwe? Mag wheels, mini FlowMaster muffler, custom ridingseat with head rest, chrome rollbar and lights underneath.

It was almost too much tothink about last week so goingout to the f ly fishing stretch ofBowmans Creek was looking

better but the Mrs. wanted toget outside and said shed helpwith the lawn chores. Who am Ito turn down help?

I would use the push mowerand she could use the zero turnriding mower with the twohandles to maneuver. Getting itstarted, I explained how to pushboth handles forward to go

forward and pull back to re-verse. Pull the left one back andright one forward to turn leftand right one back and leftforward to turn right. I gave itsome throttle and told her topractice.

She pushed both handlesforward, the mower jerked and,after losing her balance, yankedback on the left. I jumped out ofthe way as she started spinningaround like Kevin Harvick doingdonuts after winning a race.After the third revolution, shelet go of both handles, gave methe look and said she woulduse the push mower.

I explained about priming theengine, holding the handledown so it would run and howto use the pull cord. I waited tohear the engine come to life butall I heard was grunting. I turn-

ed to see her trying to pull thecord but not getting anywhere. Iwent back to see what the prob-lem was and she explained thatthe pull cord was on the rightside and shes left handed.

Wanting to see if this was justan excuse to get out of helping, Ihad her try the weed whackerand leaf blower with the same

result. She just doesnt haveenough strength in her rightarm. We managed to get thelawn completed but I had tostart every piece of equipmentwe used.

The situation made me thinkabout left-handed people so Idecided to check a few of thelocal lawn equipment places.Stopping at C.H. Waltz Sons, Italked to parts manager DaleEdwards and his mechanic Da-vid Stokes. I asked if they hadany lawnmowers or other equip-ment with left-handed pullstarts. Neither had seen any-thing like that but Stokes didsay its possible to reverse thepull start on a weed whacker topull with the left hand, althoughit would be at a bad angle.

Explaining my dilemma toparts and sales manager Keith

Williams at Hilberts Equip-ment, I was told he didnt knowof a company that makes gas-powered mowers, blowers ortrimmers that start on the left-hand side. I looked into theoffice for Larry Hilbert andthere he was writing away withhis left hand. As it turns outLarry is a southpaw who had to

train himself to adjust to theright-handed world.

The Harveys Lake Police De-partment collected 28 pounds inits first year participating in theevent,which wasspearheaded bythe U.S. Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration last year.

I thought it was a success,said Musial. Participants were

happyto havea dropoff.Somany(people) are afraid to have themin their cabinets or to f lush themdown the drain.

Musial said 25 participantsdropped off unused prescriptionmedication, and he said therewereno illegal narcotics involvedin the event.

There were people that hadexpired prescriptions for years,and just held onto them becausethey had no idea what to do withthem, said Musial. It was relieffor them to be able to dispose ofthe drugs properly.

The event was also held inKingston Township, which col-lectedabout35 poundsof unusedmedication.

John Halbing and Charles Kish-

baugh, were absent.The planning commission is

anagency ofthe township itisnot a policy-making agency, hesaid. It does not determinewhat will be permitted or what will not be permitted in thetownship.

Besecker made a motion for Williams engineering firm,MilnesEngineeringCo., andthetownship engineers and othersinvolved in the project to havean opendialogue. Township En-gineer Thomas Doughton saidhellneedtimeto assemblecom-ments between himself and sev-eral engineers and review theanalysis before forwardinginfor-mation to theplanning commis-

sion.Resident Rob Friedman ofLower Demunds Road request-edto includea letterfrom his at-torney, Earl Philips of the Con-necticut-based Robinson andCole law firm, in the meetingminutes.

Hesaid theinformation he re-quested the day prior to themeeting wasinaccurate becauseit included plans for the meter-ingstation.He alsosaida publicnoticewas notmadefor thenewapplication and asked that theplanning commission deny theWilliams application as incom-plete and inconsistent with theplans submitted.

McCall said public meetingnotices are not required for theplanning commission and itmeets on thesecondTuesday ofthe month throughout the yearto addresswhatevermatter isonits agenda.

Several residents questionedwhether the planning commis-sion received accurate plans forreview of theproject.Dodsonal-so said it is standard procedurefor the planning commission tohave itsfirstlookat applicationsat a meeting - not beforehand.

Several members hadan olderversion of the Williams plans,and Zoning Officer LeonardKozick was able to provide thecommission with new docu-ments later in the evening.

ResidentDuke Barrett askedaquestion relatingto a hazardra-dius, which he described as anequation that would determinewhata safe distanceif for somereason that at any given pointthere would be a blast fromany occupied building.

David Bradford, a projectmanager for the Williams pro-posed pipeline, said the compa-ny follows all federal guidelinesrequired for pipeline construc-tion. He said when the pipelinecrosses from the WyomingCounty border to LuzerneCounty, the thickness of thepipe increases to accommodatesafety regulations for a morepopulated area.

McCall noted that safety anddesign concerns are usually ad-dressed by the zoning hearingboard,not theplanning commis-sion.

Other residents were able toask questions of the Williamsrepresentatives relating to mat-ters such as thecompanyscom-pliance with the township andthe location of the proposedpipeline.

Resident Wayne Dottor, ofFairground Road, had concernsabout the location of the pro-posedpipeline,aswellas itscon-nectionto theplanned meteringstation.

What good isa pipelinewith-out a metering station? heasked.

Dickinson said the company will definitely need to have away to measure gas in the pipe-line.He said uponwithdrawingthe land development applica-tionfor themeteringstation,thecompanynowhas timetosearchfor alternative sites.

Dottor also asked why theproposed projects are beingplanned 600 feet from hishome and the Dallas schools.

Dickinson said the area waschosen because its away fromhigh traffic areas, outside ofcommercially developed areas,undeveloped,(and) awayfrom alot of high population areas.

Resident Scott Watkins thenasked how close the meteringstation would need to be to ef-fectively measure the gas.

Preferably as close as possi-ble to where the gas changeshands, said Dickinson, refer-ring to where the SpringvilleGathering Line would tap intothe Transco interstate line.

He saidthe fartheraway fromthe transfer site, there would befewer options to flow additionalgasto theinterstate line andthe

measurement of the gas may beless accurate.

Resident Norm Tomchakwanted to learn more about thepressure of the gas located inboththe Springvilleline andtheTransco line.

Bradford said the maximumoperating pressure of the Tran-sco line is 1,200 pounds persquareinch(psi)andtheSpring-villelinewillneedto operateat ahigher pressure to deliver thegasto theinterstateline.He alsosaid the Springville line willhave a maximum operatingpressure of 1,400 psi.

Bradford also answered Tom-chaks second question aboutwhere the odorant mercaptan,which gives natural gas its rot-ten-egg-like smell, would beadded. He said it would be add-ed at the metering site and gasflowing through the pipeline inDallasTownship wouldbe odor-less.

Jane Tolomello, also of Fair-ground Road, asked why thecompany is still pursuing itsMay 16 zoning hearing for themetering station if other sitesare being scouted.

Thatsa great question,saidBradford.

Chief Gathering LLC is cur-rentlyinvolved ina DallasTown-shipzoning hearingfor itsappli-cation tobuild a natural gas me-tering station near the Dallasschools about 500 feet from theproposed Williams site. Pro-ceedings beganin February,andmore witnesses still need to becalled to testify on behalf of theproject. It will be continued onMay 31.

McCall said the receiving arecommendation from the plan-ning commission could takemonths,as well.If a decision hasnotbeen reachedin 90days, thecompany can either file an ex-tension for the planning com-missions decision or the com-mission will have to vote on theproject at that time.

In the past, matters of majorland development programstake months and months be-cause of the detail required inthe engineering review and theresponse of the applicant to thecommentary that is generatedby the engineers, he said.

PIPELINEContinued from Page 1

The zoning hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. May 16 in the Dallas Mid-dle School auditorium for Williams application for special exceptionsto build a metering station off Hildebrandt Road, about 1,800 feetfrom the Dallas schools. A continuation of the planning commissionmeeting will be held at 7 p.m. June 14 in the municipal building forWilliams applications for land development and subdivision of its

We didnt even know the war had ended, saidIde, of SweetValley. We gotword andsaw thattheGermans were marching in towards us. We had totear down and get off in a hurry, and I ended up(hurting) myselfand spending timein a hospital in

U.S. Navy veteran of World War II, serving on theU.S.S. Gherardi. The ship served as a fire supportarea during the D-Day invasion of Normandy,France, andalso participated in invasionsin south-ern France and in Okinawa, Japan.

I was gathering information, then something would come up, said Kelleher of planning theevent. Then Kep passed away, and I said, Wevegot to do this.

During the event, Kelleher and three othergroupmembers- Ted Rebennack,Jim MorpethandRay Patsko who form the barbershop quartetThreeFriendsand a Baritone, performed a medleyof U.S. military songs. The men asked veterans tostand when thegroupsangaboutthe factionof themilitary with which they served.

The group sang The Army Goes RollingAlong, for Army veterans, Marines Hymn forformer Marines, Anchors Aweigh for those whoservedin theNavyand TheU.S.Air Force forAirForce veterans.

Ihad totakea breakfromsinging becausesomeofthe guys aregettingupin ageandtheystoodup,said Kelleher. When I think of the sacrifices thatmanyhavemade sacrificesthat could have ledto

the ultimate sacrifice I get emotional.Another breakfast group member, William

Wentz, was recognized for his service during theevent. Bob Deeble, co-founder of the group, saidWentzdidnot complete forms prior tothe ceremo-ny indicating that he was a World War II veteran,but later received certificates for his efforts.

which students had the opportu-nity to meet some animals from

the SPCA and donate money to-wards the cause.

Kosierowski had a feelingsomeof the 3 and4-year-olds shetaught might not completely un-derstand theconcept of nonprofitorganizations, so she incorporat-ed the animal shelter into thenext lesson counting.

Students counted coins to bedonated to the SPCA, and Ko-sierowski tried to explain whythe organization needed thefunds.

I told them the animals needhelp, butitsdifficult to explainiton their terms and their level,

she said.Kyla got it with just about 10

coins in her good deeds bucket,she told her mother that, ratherthanbuy theexpensive,cool new

kicks, shed rather give the mon-ey to the animals that need itmore.

Others joined Kyla on hermissionto helpthe animal shel-ter. Family, friends and class-mates all donated towards thecause, and Kyla was able to

raise the amount of money topay for the shoes about $42 to give to the SPCA.

Her generosity was rewarded,as well. Jenelle and her husband,

Chris, decided to buy Kyla a pairof Twinkle Toes because of herselflessness.

I didnt want my shoes, butIm lucky my mom and dad gotthemforme, theyoungstersaid.Iwanted todonatethemoneyso(the animals) could be happy,

andthey could do good deeds forpeople.

Kylas compassion stands outin thefour years Kosierowskihasbeen teaching at the Trucksville

Early Childhood Education Cen-ter.

Its amazing, and its nice tohear, the teacher said.

Alot of children dont think ofother people. Especially at thisage, you dont see a lot of kids asaltruistic.

Kyla hopes to have a big dogof her own one day, but shedoesnt evenhaveanypetsof herown at home.

Ijusthavea brother, shesaid.

The board meets frequentlythroughout the year to overseeassociation business and plannew projects that will benefitmember townships.

Kingston Township

Board of Supervi-

sors announced

Wednesday it is considering

a switchof itsfirst-dueemer-

gency medical service pro-

viders.

A resolution to change the

provider from Trans-Med

ambulance and wheelchairvan service of Forty Fort to

the Wyoming Hose Compa-

ny No. 1 of West Wyoming

wastabledduetoa lackof in-

formation.

Township Manager KathleenSebastian said the TrucksvilleVolunteer Emergency MedicalService, Fire and Rescue had re-cently spurred theswitch, butsu-pervisors were unaware of a spe-cific reason for the change.

David Prohaska, communityrelations for Trans-Med, spokeout during a public hearing onthe matter.

He said the for-profit organiza-

tion was blindsided with newsof the change earlier on Wednes-day.

Prohaska also said representa-tives from the company were not

invited to the boards work ses-sion on Monday night, when theproposed change was first dis-cussed among supervisors.

He asked whether the town-ship was displeased with the service the company has providedfor the last10 to 12 years.

ChairmanJamesReinoJr.saidhe wasnt aware of any com-plaints about Trans-Meds service, but he and other supervi-sors took the opportunity to ask

Prohaska more questions aboutaspects of the company, includ-ing issues of staffing and vehicle

availability.Prohaskasaid thecompany has

26 vehicles and more than 160employees serving much of Lu-zerne County.

Hemaintainedthat a vehicleisalways available in the BackMountain area from a Dallas sta-

tion.He also said if the switch were

made from Trans-Med to Wyom-ing Hose Company No. 1, re-sponsetimeswouldsufferforanycalls made past the Burger Kingon Route 309.

Robert Smith of the Kingston

Township Ambulance and Res-cue Association said the two fa-cilitiesbothface challengesto re-

sponsetimedue to thegeograph-

ic location of the township.

He said the Wyoming HoseCompanyNo.1 would be quicker

torespond tocalls made onCarv-

erton Road because of its loca-

tion on Eighth Street.

Smith also said the Trans-Med

services cover a larger portion ofthe county including the WestSideand Wilkes-BarreTownship,

making it difficult to guarantee

consistent coverage in the Back

Mountain.

You cant guarantee youll

have a vehicle there 100 percent

of the time, Prohaska said. If

anyone tells you that, its just notpossible.

Sebastian said the board will

need more time to conduct fur-

ther research beforemaking a de-

cision.

We want to look into it a littlemore, Sebastian said. We want

to do what we feel is best and

makesureour residentsare taken

care of if a call comes in.The board also tabled a deci-

sion totransfera liquorlicense to

the Valero gas station located on

Route 309.

Resident Keith Murray, a long-time member of the state Liquor

Control Board,said duringa pub-

lichearingon thematterthatsell-

ing liquor on a property where

liquid fuels are contained is not

permitted by the control board.Solicitor Benjamin Jones III

said there may need to be a sub-

division ofthe property if Murray

is correct, which would be a

township matter.

This could be a problem, he

said. I dont know if it could be

caught here. If it involves land

use, that would be here.Sebastian announced a Route

309 corridor study will not be

conducted by the state Depart-

ment of Transportation for an-

other two years.

Sebastian said this is because

PennDOT is currently studyingother intersections in the Back

Mountain, including the five-cor-

ner area in Dallas and the inter-section of Upper Demunds and

Hildebrandt roads in Dallas

Township.

ViceChairmanJeffrey Boxsaid

the delay is unacceptable, as

thetownshiphasbeenpursuinga

study on the road since 2004.

In other news, the board:

approved a state-mandated

storm water ordinance that

would require new dwellings to

have stringent storm water man-agement plans. Box and Supervi-

sor Frank Natitus voted against

the measure.

approved a resolutionto pro-

test theincreaseratesof Pennsyl-vania American Water Co.

revised inter-governmental

cooperation agreement between

four of the municipalities involved in the Back Mountain

Community Partnership to pur-

chase a shared speed trailer at a

cost to the township of $1,725was approved. The purchase was

approved last year, but the trail-

ers price increased before the

partnership could purchase the

equipment. approved a waiver of the

pavement cut permits for the

Aqua PA Sunrise Estate water

main replacement project, butBox said the board should not

consider similar requests in thefuture.

With ourbudget restrictions,I

dont believe we need to do this

anymore, said Reino. Everydollar we get gives us the oppor-tunity to do something.

approved one more fire hy-drant for a total of five to be in-stalled on the Sunrise Estatesproject.

approved thetownship man-

ager to make revisions of its pub-lic exhibitions and amusementordinance. Reino said this is be-cause the ordinance, whichhasnt been updated in a few years, does not adequately ad-

dress larger events in the town-ship including fireworks displaysand events at Hillside Farms.
