The Wilkes-Barre Regional Office
of the Department of Environmen-
tal Resources intends to issue a
Plan Approval and Temporary
Operating permit for the American
Asphalt Paving Company, Chase
Road, Jackson Township, to burn
waste oil. This action follows a
review of a permit application sub-
mitted to the Bureau of Ai Quality
Control Decemer 1, 1982.
The applicant will be allowed to
burn 250 gallons of waste oil per
hour at maximum production. Labo-
ratory analysis of each batch of fuel
to be burned and the use of!air
pollution control equipment at the
plant are required under this Plan
Approval.
If the laboratory analysis exceeds
Air Quality specifications for
arsenic, cadmium, and chromium,
the company is required to perform
an emissions stack test under the
supervision of DER’s Regional Air
Pollution edntrol Engineer. The
company will not be allow to burn
any waste oil that exceeds the
specifications for PCB’s and total
halides.
Any person wishing to provide
DER with additional information
they believe should be considred
prior to the issuance of a Plan
Approval, may submit the informa-
tion to: John J. Wilkes, Jr., P.E.,

The Back Mountain Kiwanis,
along with many Kiwanis Clubs of
Pennsylvania, have placed canisters
in the' business places throughout
Pennsylvania. The canisters are

It is the Pennsylvania Kiwanis

These little boys and girls have no
control over whether they will live
or die. All they know is that they
can’t play like other children, and
they don’t understand why.
Most known heart defects in chil-

the technological and medical lead-

threatening problems and help these
little hearts beat stronger.

Kingston
Kingston Township is one of 13
local communities which have
earned the American Automobile
Association’s Pedestrian Safety
Citation for its achievement in the
prevention of pedestrian fatalities
and injuries, according to The
Valley Automobile Club.
According to Pat Higgins, safety
director, the cittion is one of 320 top
citations to be presented by AAA
clubs across the country in the
federation’s 46th annual Pedestrian
Protection Program. More than
2,690 cities and 30 states partici-
pated in the AAA survey which
evaluates and recognizes outstand-
ing pedestrian safety achievements
of participating communities for the
previous calendar year.’

Thirty Back Mountain businesses
will be for sale in the near future,
available to anyone with a little luck
and a special kind of money.
Before local realtors become too
excited, they should know that the
businesses will be available only on
a Monopoly-like game called The
Game of Back Mountain.
The game will be sold for $10.00
by the Back Mt. Jaycees. :
The Back Mt. Jaycees are guar-
anteed at least $2,000 from the
project, according to Joe Rubbico
fund raiser chairman.
Much of the money goes right
back to the community, however,
through Jaycee projects such as the
Childrens Xmas Shopping Spree,
Childrens Home Run Derby, Book
Scholarships, etc. groups, Mr. Rub-
bico noted.
Civic pride, the fun of playing the
game and the advertising for local
businesses are other benefits to be
drived from The Game of Back
Mountain.
Just 30 businesses will be able to
purchase sport on the board.
Instead of spaces named park Place
and Marvin Gardens, the local
game will sport the names of local
businesses.
The game board, similar to a
Monopoly board, will also feature
who order games in advance, Mr.
Rubbico said.

Vanderburgh County, Indiana, has
developed a successful program to
keep drunk drivers off the road
while they pay their debt to society
and consider their future conduct.
The unusual program makes use of
the chemical disulfiram, as well as
work release.

FE
From two to six players start with
$69,000 and move around the board
investing in loca properties or com-
modities, such as oil, paper, tin, etc.
One bad roll of the dice can spell
financial ruin.
Even if players invest wisely,
they must deal with pitfalls strewn
around the board. They can also
lose big money if landing on City
Hall and paying a tax.
The winner can be the person with
the most money after a predeter-
mined amount of time has passed or
the millionaire who drives his com-
petitors to bankruptcy and owns all
of Back Mountain.
Persons can order games in
advance by calling Mr. Tupper at
100 Woodlawn Ave., Dallas, 675-4027.

year’s award were West Pittston, a
special citation for outstanding
pedestrian accident record; Ber-

Township, five year awards; Dan-
ville, Exeter Borough and Forty

Wilkes-Barre City received the AAA
Distringuished Safety Service Coop-
eration for Pedestrian Safety and
Convenience Award.
The AAA pedestrian program,
unique in the nation, focuses atten-
tion nationwide on pedestrian safety
needs by stimulating interest on the
local level in pedestrian-related pro-
grams. Recognition is given to cities
and states that have demonstrated
successful pedestrian safety pro-
grams.
Higgins noted that since 1937
when AAA began developing the
Pedestrian Safety Program, pedes-
trian fatalities have declined 48
percent even as motor vehicle regis-
trations jumped 481 percent and the
nation’s population grew by 84 per-
cent.
Communities participating in the
AAA program are judged with
others of comparable size and char-
acteristics. Program areas evalu-
ated include maintenance of acci-
dent records, safety legislation,
enforcement, traffic engineering,
quality of school traffic safety pro-
grams and active public informa-
tion and education programs.
