Charlie Lemmond was a posi-tive force in my life in so manyways friend, mentor, advisor,role model. As a former judge,prosecutor and legislator, he hadincredible respect for the powerand purpose of law, properlycrafted and wisely applied, Bak-er wrote in a statement releaseshortly Lemmonds death.

His 21 years as a well-respect-ed state Senator were marked byhis standard of integrity, his pur-suit of justice, and his desire todo what was right for the peopleand the communities he serve,Baker continued. He wanted tonever disappoint those whotrusted him and had confidencein his ability. He was willing to

Visually-impaired studentsin the Dallas School Districtgot a chance to mingle withchildren from Scranton andhave fun at their inauguralfield day on the Dallas cam-pus on June 1.

Vision teacher Bridget Ga-vin said the class usuall y par-ticipates in field day at theLuzerne Intermediate UnitNo. 18 campus in Kingston,but this year she decided tosee if the students could stayon their home turf for theevent.

Gavin also coordinatedwith a frien d from the Scran -ton School District to have

visua lly-i mpaire d studen tsfrom that district attend theevent.

Students range from mi-

nor visual problems to totallyblind, she said. Its exciting I learn more from themthan they learn from me.

The group of about 15 stu-dents completed hands-onprojects during the day, in-

cluding making spongeballs to use in a swimmingpool, tasting flip-flop deco-rated cookies, playing gameslike volleyball and jump ropeand having fun with bubblesand sidewalk chalk.

The kids follow typicalsafety guidelines, said Ga-vin. We move a bit slowerthan the other kids becausesome of them also have phys-ical disabilities, but overallits just like any other fieldday.

Gavin said the field daywas also a celebra tion ofsorts the students had justfinished a fundraiser the daybefore called Shades of Funin which students and faculty

members paid $1 to wearsunglasses. Money raisedwas donate d to the Pennsyl-vania Associ ation for the

Blind. We rai se d m ore t ha n

$500, said Gavin.Liz Sheeder, 9, of Trucks-

ville , hung out with her pal,Christian Martin, 9, of DallasTownship, on the Dalla s Ele-mentary jungle gym beforetaking on more activities.

I like playing games likevolley ball, said Sheeder. Itwas boys versus girls. No onewon.

Martin likes less structur-ed activities during field day.

I just like running aroundwith my frien ds, he said.

Gavin said its important tohave days like this when thestudents can let loose and bethemselves.

Theyre singled out a lotof the time, and they have todo extra work because every-thing is harder for them, shesaid. They have to use othertools, like large print, Braille,or a magnifier just to keepup. Its nice for them to justhave a break once in a while.

Gavin said the event waspossible due to the supportfrom the district and aides atDallas Elementary School.

I found a dead fish! the boyyelled out to his friends acrossthe marsh.

Usually such an exclamationwould not elicit smiles and gleefrom those near a decaying ani-mal, but for fifth-graders fromDallas Elementary, it was likefinding pure gold.

The group took its scienceclass outdoors on May 31, travel-ingto Frances Slocum State Parktolearnmoreaboutwetlands andthekindsof thingsthatlivethere.

Fifth-grade science teachersMaria Hosey and Brenda Burk-hardt led the troops of net-totingminiscientiststo themarshy areanear the lake across from theparks campground site.

A marsh is an area near bodiesof water less than two feet deepandis home to manydifferentor-

ganisms. It also helps to preventflooding of nearby areas by slow-ly releasingwater intowaterwaysduringheavy rainfall. Marshes fil-ter sediment and pollutants, im-proving water quality.

Students clad in rubber bootscarefully squished through themuddy marsh, scooping theirnets in search of anything thatwiggles.

They go in the marsh to sur-vey the organisms like fish andfrogs, said Hosey.

Burkhardt added the annualspring trip helps students con-nect with what they are learning

in class.This unit is about watersheds

and how they work, she said.We relate it to wetlands to showthe kids whats in our environ-ment, which is mostlyforest wet-lands.

Burkhardt said the swampystudents get a chance to see thebigger picture by going out intothe field, collecting specimensand examining them to see howhealthy the water is in this area.

Theyll know why they needto pick up litter and trash by see-ingthese things, shesaid. Inan-other project, we make a map ofthe school property and look atthe watershed and the pollutionthatsthere.Whenitsa rainy day,we can seewhere the waterflows

Supervisors were denied intheir request for water testingat sites where a PVR Partnerscontractor spilled drilling mudwithin the township, officialssaid Tuesday.

Atty. Jeffrey Malak, attorneyfor PVR Partners, formerly

Chief Gathering LLC, stated ina letter the company would notprovide water testing for prop-erty owners in the vicinity oftwo drilling mud spills that oc-curred near Kunkle-Aldersonand Upper Demunds roads inearly May.

The letter stated the compa-ny would not perform testingbecause the state Departmentof Environmental Protectionhas not requested it. Malakwrote that independent studiesconducted by Wilkes Universi-ty concluded there were nochemicals in the wetlands nearwhere the mud was spilled.

He also said that becausethere have been no baselinetests conducted, there wouldbe nothing with which to com-pare the water tests.

Supervisor Bill Grant, wholives on Hildebrandt Road andplans to test his own water,said the township will provideinterested residents with infor-mation about water testing.

He received estimates of be-tween $300 and $900 for thework, depending on the chem-icals being tested.

Its pretty expensive, saidGrant.

Supervisor Liz Martin saidshe spoke to George Turner, aprofessional geologist, who es-timated the tests required forthe chemicals involved in thespills would cost between $450

and $500 per sample.Unfortunately, the town-

ship cant pay to get this watertested, said Martin.

Martin said the boring forthe pipeline should be donesoon, and those kinds of issuesare not likely to occur again.

We just have to keep oureyes open, she said of the

pipeline construction process.Supervisors also addressed

residents concerns about PVRPartners contractor working atthe pipeline work site afterhours.

Grant said he received onecomplaint and the townshipengineer received three com-plaints about the pipeline con-tractor working beyond normalhours of operation last Sunday.

Malak wrote in a letter thatthe companys work hours are7 a.m. to 5 p.m. six days aweek, but because of dead-lines, some work during off-hours has been necessary.

Grant said he understandsthe company will finish thework soon and will not workoutside of normal operatinghours again.

PVR Partners is in the proc-ess of building a 30-mile pipe-line to flow natural gas fromwells in Susquehanna Countyto the Transco interstate pipe-line, located near the DallasSchool District.

The company will also builda metering facility to measurethe gas off Hildebrandt Road.

Residents raised concernsabout a plan to revamp the Bul-ford Farms sewer system and aproposed composting site at theState Correctional Institution atDallas at a meeting Monday.

Resident Mary Dockerayasked the supervisors about atownship-wide sewer plan thatwas sent to the state Depart-ment of Environmental Protec-tion and why the Bulford Farmsprojectwas only two sentencesof the document.

Solicitor Jeffrey Malak saidthe plan only briefly mentionsthe Bulford Farms sewer projectbecause it addresses the entiretownships sewage needs.

Dockeray said she and at

least one other neighbor are up-set about paying the $22,875 tocomplete the project, which willrevamp the sewer system in that

section of the township.The township will also incur

costs in the project, but Super-visor Al Fox said the majority ofproperty owners in the BulfordFarms area have agreed to theprojects costs.

Malak said some residents areconcerned about paying taxes to-wards the project when itdoesnt affect their properties atall.

It goes both ways, he said.Dockeray said she has yet to

seedocumentssent to DEPjusti-fying the project, though Malaksaid he has attempted to provideall the documents Dockeray hasrequested.

You should have really con-sulted a financial advisor beforeyou started in on this project be-cause youclearly gotno financialadvice, said Dockeray.

Residents also asked the su-pervisors about a project pro-posed by theDallasArea Munici-pal Authority to operate a com-

posting site on land owned bySCI-Dallas.

Supervisor John Wilkes Jr.said DAMAs plans include mov-ing its compost operation fromSouth Memorial Highway tostate prison land. He said its in-tention is to combine the foodcompost from the prison withthe nutria from all the participa-ting municipalities to make abetter product than municipal-ities can create on their own.

Bonnie Dombrowski said shehas concerns about noise, trafficand safety of the area where theoperation is planned.

If you can hear our grinder,

then youll hear this, he said. Imean, theres no way aroundthat. Their grinder is louderthan ours ours is a 500 horse-

power engine compared to a700.

Malak said DAMA is request-ing a use variance of the land ithas leased from SCI-Dallas. Hesaid the land is currently zoned

especially for prison activities.Fox urged residents to attend

the soon-to-be scheduled plan-ning commission and zoninghearing board meetings on thematter to voice their opinions.The zoning hearing is tentative-ly scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday,June 25.

Fox said his concern is wheth-er the township should hostsuch a project that may cause is-

sues when the township wonteven be participating. JacksonTownship is currently not amember of DAMA, but usessome of its sewage services.

He said the supervisors alsohave some concerns abut theproject, and will consider havingMalak attend the hearings to ex-press the supervisors and resi-

Dear Editor:

Regarding your recent articlePoultry presentation is an egg-citing one whereby veterinar-ian Doug Ayers hosted a pre-sentation at Hillside Farms onhow to raise chickens in yourbackyard, I was shocked that,after singing accolades of thebenefits of raising chickens andhow they, according to Dr.Ayers, are like having pets, thearticle ends with Ayers keeps

chickens for about two years, as

long as theyre laying eggs, andturns them into soup soon af-ter.

Perhaps Doug Ayers shouldput the soup ladle down longenough to re-read the Veterin-arian Oath he took so manyyears ago. Due to his affiliationwith The Lands, I will no longerbe supporting Hillside Farms.
