GAS Continued from Page 3 nance due to the passage of House Bill 1950 in the state leg- islature. The bill, signed into law last week, updates the Oil and Gas Act of 1984 and one aspect of the law is to remove land-use controls from local govern- ments. Brennan said the ordinance amendment passed in October, which set detailed regulations on natural gas and oil develop- ment in the township, would need to be scrapped. He sug- gested the supervisors work with planning consultant Jack Varaly in the creation of a new ordinance. Brennan added that agree- ments made with natural gas companies do not apply to the new law. Last year the township negotiated two agreements with Chief and Williams to spec- ify terms for their pipeline and metering station projects. The board also heard from resident Kerrie Anderson, who has been trying to prove that the township owns her street, Sky- view Drive, for the last three years. The street is part of New Goss Manor and Anderson said the township road department does -not plow snow or complete maintenance on the roadway, though she believes it is part of the township. She said it is a dangerous sit- uation for her family. She also said she has documents to prove the street is owned by the town- ship. : The board had tabled a deci- sion about what to decide in An- derson’s circumstances at its last meeting, but Brennan said the board decided Tuesday that the road does not belong to the township and, therefore, is ineli- gible to receive service. Anderson said she will contin- ue to fight the decision through legal actions. In other news, the board ... e Approved a motion to ad- vertise for 25 40-yard waste con- tainers for the 2012 Spring Clea- nup program, scheduled: for May 7 through May 12. Authorized the advertise- ment for bids for 2012 road ma- terials. ® Scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 20 for the transfer of a liquor license from Kingston to Dallas Town- ship for Acacia Services LLC of 1340 Country Club Rd., Dallas. e The board of supervisors will hold a work session at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 6 in the municipal building. RIVALRY Continued from Page 1 Though the Lake-Lehman group is small (there are 16 swimmers and two divers), Ed- kins said the team is full of talent and potential. Stretanski noticed a differ- ence in the Dallas team after it began using its own pool. “It gives them a comfort level and confidence,” he said of the young swimmers. “They feel se- cure and they know where they’re going. It’s a big help for the kids, and that’s why we're all here.” : Junior Lake-Lehman swim- mer Samantha Sabol, 17, of Sha- vertown, said using the Dallas facilities has made life as a com- petitive swimmer just a little bit easier. “It was hard to schedule prac- tice and meets when we were at Misericordia because we had to work around their schedule,” she said. “I swam here (at Dal- las) when I was younger and this is my favorite pool. I think we have more people coming to the meets, too, because the benches are bigger.” Edkins said having a pool built at the junior/senior high school in Lehman Township is just a dream, but the current sit- uation is working well and she hopes it will continue in the fu- ture. “People are cooperating with it and we're so grateful for the support,” she said. Edkins also said the long- FY ou: £7 Swi CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Lake-Lehman diver Matt Edkins prepares his dive during a meet with Pittston Area with a Dallas sign in the background. The Lake-Lehman swim team uses the Dallas. School District swim- ming pool for its home meets. standing rivalry between Dallas and Lake-Lehman still exists, but the teams are more like friendly foes. “I don’t think that will ever go away, but we still figure out how to get along in the long run,” she said.

TALENT Continued from Page 3 herself vocally. “She wanted to dance, but was too afraid to perform, so she decided to sing,” said Jaclyn Mosley. “I couldnt believe it.” Kendall enjoys singing be- cause it's a way to “express (her) feelings and send a mess- age through each song.” Jaclyn is glad there are venues like Trinity Presbyterian Church for performers in the communi- ty because its a very ani if) oriented” way to spend an eve ning. Winners of the first annual Back Mountain Has Talent show were awarded gift certificates to Leggio’s Italian Ristorante, Grot- to Pizza at Harveys Lake and the Ranch Wagon. PROS Continued from Page 1 residents Diane and Steve Thompson, who are engineers. “Engineering is something I've considered as one of the ca- reer choices I might want to look into,” he said. Adams enjoys math and is al- so considering careers in archi- tecture and teaching. “Mr. Thompson talked about how many kids go in choosing one section of engineering but may end up switching to anoth- er,” he said. “It just shows you can go into something and fig- ure things out and it ends up being different than you thought — you have to keep your mind open.” Adams realized the kind of education he needed to be an engineer and what specific skills are required for the field. He said the presentation made him more inclined to pur- sue the field because he knows what it’s all about, though he ad- mits he’s still undecided. Senior Josh Shilanski, of Sha- vertown, chose to attend the dentistry speaker program with Dr. Duane Sprau of Clements Dentistry because he’s always been interested in becoming a dentist. He said the speaker program only reinforced his desire to en- ter into the field, and Shilanski ended up learning more about the career as a result. “This actually provided the most information out of every- thing I've done,” he said. “It gave insight on what he went through to become a dentist and what he goes through on a daily basis as a dentist.” Jones said 17-year-old Shilan- ski has been accepted to Temple University in Philadelphia, which has “a very reputable den- tistry program.” Seventeen-year-old Megan Re- dlich, of Dallas, is one of Dallas High School's “tech gurus” un- der the advisement of technol ogy director Bill Gartrell. As a lover of technology and art, Redlich thought it would be worthwhile to attend the video game art and design speaker se- ries with Dallas graduate Joseph Stachnik. Redlich wants to pur- sue a career in digital animation. “It inspired me more because of the sort of things (Stachnik) does and what he works with,” she said. Redlich plans to attend a school in Florida after gradua- tion. She said the speaker pro- gram only increased her passion for the field. “It’s always more helpful to hear something firsthand than to read it somewhere, and it’s always a confirmation of things,” she said. — King Crossword — Answers Solution time: 21 mins. oO 9) > PUZILE ANSWERS Go Figure! ——— answers 6|—-|3]| x KA {o|— mieO(>e momo |O m{Z|0|—|3T|> —H[>|0|® m|—|<|O|Z[{m|m|wm - m m|m{>|0 r m|To O|lm|m|D|O|H |» |Oo|m|O|o|m|D »|lo|z|>»|S|D r|cCl|Oolw ts wln|m|Z o|4|z|o ri—|ojo T|(O|D|O < Puzzles, Page 2 —— Super Crossword d|c|o o|>»|T r|>»|c|o|c]| > [4c [ZZ] -|=[>|2]v] | R A N m r|-|m(c|O = -n [n|-|o - ~H|(-im(m >n[ClO|n w[mlo[> Jy PN Z|» |0jm|> O|o|>»|3|v oimlw|Z[> >|—|2(> ®|Z[0|Z(> m|e|>[+(o lo |v|- |Z D|m wm »|m m -“|Oim|Z >|(®|0|H o|m|z|>|m|~ =|x[>]+4 z[>»|z|o PNEIESE] -|{>|0|0O >|D|m
