There were many people involved with the project who were not here to- night but they did a nice job,” he said. He also felt the system was needed, saying, “it's progress.” Al Lamoreaux of Chase Road was another person who felt the project was needed. However he felt the project could have been handled better. He said, “We were originally quoted a price of anywhere from $325-$380," he said. “Then we were told that a lot of things that were being done would help bring the cost down. But that didn't happen. They should have just told us the cost was going to be $380 and left it at that.” One other person who seemed satisfied with the proj- ect was John Wilkes, Jr., of Chase Road. “You have to start looking today for tomorrow,” he said. “The price was a little high but once operational this proj- ect will really help Jackson Township.” A large number of residents turned out for the informational meeting on Monday and most left with their questions an- swered and minds put at ease about the new sewer system. Sewer (continued from page 1) selves with three major areas; fi- -nances, environment, and making sure the system is functional.” Ziegler said that the authority had to make sure the system would not go bankrupt, that it protected and preserved the environment and that it operated and was main- tained in an efficient manner. He also told the residents that the municipal authority tried to keep the cost for homeowners as low as possible. He said that grants and loans were obtained to pay the $3.75. The authority was given a $2.5 million grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency for project. Inaddition, a PennVEST loan of $983,000 was obtained ata rate of one percent for 20 years. The Dallas Area Municipal Au- thority also reimbursed the au- thority $225,000 for some of the line work that was in Kingston Township. This work was done in order to connect the system to DAMA's system as the two au- thorities have executed an agree- ment under which DAMA will be responsible for treating, operating and maintaining the Jackson sys- tem. Additional costs will occur for homeowners as they hire contrac- ‘tors to make the connection for them. A spokesperson for the John aA Yenason Co., Dallas, said that . pa Ra 4 - the price of this work will vary depending on the supplies needed and the length of the connection, but added a job like this could cost ‘around $1,000. Any new home being built in the township will also have to connect to the system. The cost for the permit for new homes will be $1,000. Before homeowners begin any work on the connection they must first purchase the permit. To make it easier on homeowners, permits will be issued on Thursday nights from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. and on Saturday mornings from 9:00-noon at the Jackson Township Fire Hall. These hours will begin tomorrow and will stay in effect for the rest on the month. When residents receive the per- mit they will also be given a sum- mary of “Rates, Rules and Regula- tions” to help further explain the project. During the informational meet- ing residents were told how con- nections could be worked and were even shown many of the parts needed for the job. Residents who are connecting with the system must have the work inspected before it is cov- ered. Representatives of DAMA will be doing the inspections. Residents are asked to give 48 hours notice to DAMA before the inspection is to occur. Once connected to the system residents are urged to drain their septic tanks and make sure that ° these tanks are made safe. Tho- mas Bagley, DAMA Manager, said that septic tanks with steel tops could rust if not taken care of properly. The new system affects approxi- mately 340 homes in the township and may affect more as studies are being done to find out whether it would be feasible to offer connec- tions “to' homeowners ‘along Newhart Road.

DENMON Staff Writer The Dallas High School cheer- leaders have returned home from their trip to Orlando, Fla. where they participated in the National Cheerleading competition. “They didn't win,” said cheer- leader advisor Sheila Bonawitz, "but I was proud of them. They competed against thousands of girls, many of them from schools ‘with much larger enrollment. “Some of the schools participat- ing had as many as 500 students in one class. We don’t have that many in the senior high this year,” Mrs. Bonawitz explained. The jayvee squad finished 17th ‘out of 35 squads. They are girls from 8th to 10th grade and four, members of the squad were eighth grade students. “Ann Marie Danna and Wendy Wadas, their advisors, did a great job with the girls,” Mrs. Bonawitz said. The senior varsity finished 34th out of 86 squads which is in the upper half of the squads in their competition. “They were good,” said Mrs. Bonawitz, “But they did not do as well as they could have done. We arrived at the competition center at 8:15 a.m. and we had no time to warm up before they were sched- uled to go on, but they gave the best they could for the situation. I was proud of them.” By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Back Mountain bowlers were surprised this past week to see a “For Sale’ sign posted on the front of Back Mountain Bowl. “Many of them ‘were ‘more ‘con- cerned than surprised when they heard numerous rumors that the lanes were going to close. The property, which includes 16 bowling lanes, a pro shop and a miniature golf course is listed with the Lewith & Free- man real estate company for $590,000. Back Mountain Bowl is on the sales block - owner will close it, because as Jim Shepherd, co-owner of the bowling center said he did not believe bowlers need worry. “It will remain open aslongas we own it,” Shepherd said. “If it is sold I hardly believe a new long as the leagues are bowling, money is coming in. We have heard those rumors, too, but we don't pay attention to them,” Shepherd said. - When asked why the lanes were being sold, Shepherd said it was due to “lack of manage- ment”.

Many of the schools hire choreographers, spe- cial dance instructors, and gym- nastic instructors. They go all out to win. “It was a great experience for our girls. They made friends with girls from other parts of the coun- try, learned to cope in difficult - situations, and experienced being away from home. It was well worth going.” Dallas park cleanup scheduled Mrs. Robert J.
