al, The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Tuesday, November 21,1989 5 Library news Carol King to organize memorial gift program L'% w author's 28th novel and he proves By NANCY KOZEMCHAK The Back Mountain Memorial Library is happy to announce the willingness of a new Friend of the Library member to organize the library's memorial gift program. Carol King, of Dallas, has begun to file the memorial donations in a systematic program, whereby the library can keep permanent rec- ords on those important donations to the library. This is rather time- consuming at the moment, but once she has the program set up, it should be a unique arrangement and a convenient way of keeping records for the memorial dona- tions. Thank you, Carol, for being so generous with your time and organizing this procedure. The library is very happy to be able to offer the public the use of A chelrs crutches, walkers, and other items for invalids, thanks to the generosity of the Dallas Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs. These items are kept in the basement of the library in a separate room and are able to be borrowed by the publicwhen the need arrives. There are forms at the front desk to be filled out and then the items may be borrowed for as long as the person needs them. This is one special way the community organi- zations and the library are work- ing together on a most worthwhile project to help the people in our communities in time of need. New books at the library: “Straight” by Dick Francis is the once again that he has no equal. As Derek Franklin, an injured steeplechase jockey, nears the end of his career, he is thrust. into trouble and mayhem by the acci- dental death of his older brother, Greville. “I inherited my brother's desk, his business, his gadgets, his enemies, his horses and his mistress,” Derek says. I inherited by brother's life, and it nearly killed me.” With danger besetting him from unknown directions, Derek discovers that honesty can be a deadly virtue and courage the provocation of escalating evil. “Close Friends” by Peter Jen- kins is a story about the author's special intimacy with animals, and the people who cherish them. From the time he was a boy when he smuggled a wild hawk into the bedroom he shared with two broth- ers, Peter has loved and lived with some extra-ordinary creatures. They have enriched his life with their presence. Peter Jenkins cap- tures the vivid characters and the humorous, heartwarming, some- times fierce personalities of his animal friends. The story is filled with joys, thrills, heartbreak and deep-felt emotions. “Murder in the Rose Garden” by Elliott Roosevelt is a new Book Club book in which a seductive Washington blackmailer is found dead. To Mrs. Roosevelt's surprise, many men had motive to kill this apparently respectable society matron. Suspicion falls on the innocent, as always. Post Office urges early mailing 4 This year, the Postal Service is joining forces with the business community of Dallas in urging customers to shop early and mail early for the holidays. Many overseas mailing dead- lines—including those for armed orces stationed overseas—occur “this month. While there are no domestic mailing deadlines, Postmaster gpRaymond A. Cecconi would like to encourage those sending parcels and greetings to distant locations around the country to take advan- tage of the early display of holiday merchandise. “When you shop and mail early to far-away friends and family, you won't need to worry about a winter storm that could halt air or ground traffic and possibly delay deliv- ery,” says Cecconi. “We are well prepared for the volume df mail we will receive locally, but it does help Fresh Pasta in 6 Flavors Dallas Shopping Center Route 309, Dallas 675-6136 Fully Prepared LASAGNA MANICOTTI STUFFED SHELLS Just Heat 'n' Eat oli and Tortellini plus acomplete selection of Homemade Pasta | Made Daily!

Public meeting set on '911’ An open forum on the benefits of the “911” emergency system will be held Wednesday, November 29 in the auditorium of the Science Building on the Penn State cam- pus in Lehman. A panel including state senator Charles Lemmond, Kingston Township police chief Paul Sabol and Commonwealth Telephone’s 911 coordinator Mark Santayana will begin its discus- sion at 7:30 p.m. : The Back Mountain Citizens’ Council, which is sponsoring the meeting, considers the installation of the ‘911’ system one of its top priorities. “I think it is a very serious issue in the Back Mountain,” said James Ryan, chief executive of the Penn State campus and a council member last week. “Every county in Pennsylvania should have it. I'm delighted the citizens’ council wants to bring the issue to the public.” Ryan explained that the present systems, while admirable in in- tent, can result in vastly different response times to calls for emer- gency assistance. He feels the ‘911' system will assure Back Mountain residents of rapid re- sponse, regardless of where they live. The citizens’ council urges resi- dents and public officials to attend the session. Engineering study slows decision on DAMA plans By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff An engineering study is delay- ing the expansion plans of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority(DAMA). The study will be used to determine if the sewage treatment plant should connect to another area sewage treatment plant, or upgrade its own system. According to Plant Manager Thomas Bagley, DAMA is pres- ently conducting an ‘engineering study and analysis of the options the authority has for expansion. “The study will show us which way to go,” Bagley said Friday. The state Department of Envi- ronmental Resources (DER) has mandated that DAMA upgrade from a secondary treatment plant to an advanced treatment plant. DAMA submitted a proposal to DER in June, but it was rejected. That plan would have cost ap- proximately $5 million dollars. DER spokesman Mark Carmon said DAMA come up with a design that would be “more cost efficient and environmentally sound” than that proposal. DER told DAMA to look into connecting to the Wyoming Valley Sewer Authority. Although the study has been in progress since mid-summer, Ba- gley said no results have been for- warded yet. “Nothing has been pulled into any kind of package yet,” he explained. “It is still a grey area.” Characterizing the study as “yes or no at this point,” Bagley said the results of the study should answer the question of whether DAMA should connect with the Wyoming Valley Sewer Authority or expand its present facility. The study was expected to be completed by the end of August. DAMA has been given a new dead- line of the third week of December to finish it.
