Ee The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 28, 1990 3 PLAQUE RECIPIENTS - Dallas Borough Council presented two Dallas police officers with plaques at last week’s council meeting in recognition of their dedication in saving the driver of a gas spill truck on Route 309 in October. Taking part in the presentation were seated, from left, Tim Carroll, Council president; Mayor Paul LaBar; standing, Milt Lutsey, Borough Manager; John Fowler, Police Chief; Don Gavigan, Borough officer; and Dan Cooper, Council Police Commissioner.( Post Photo/ Charlot Denmon) Borough (continued from page 1) ery in removing the driver to safety from an oil truck in the gas spill emergency that occurred on Route 309 on October 26. “They had total disregard for their own safety as they worked to free the driver to safety and set an example for any police officers anywhere in the country,” said Councilman Don Cooper, as he presented the plaques. Carol Pyle of Huntsville Road, Dallas, told council that she had asked council two months ago if they could do something about the conditions of the sidewalks along that road but to date nothing has been done. “The sidewalks have deteriorated and there is gravel and growth on them. They are dangerous for people walking on them,” said Mrs. Pyle. Lutsey said he had some community service workers he planned to have do something with the sidewalks. President Carroll, however, said he thought they should have the zoning officer look into the condition of the walks and recommend what should be done to repair them. Bill Roberts of Franklin Street, Dallas asked if Franklin Street was going to be paved in the spring. Carroll said the street would be paved and the engineer had rec- ommended catch basins be put in to catch the drainage. He also told Roberts that he would ask engi- neer Leo Corbett lo look at the high crown in the street and recom- mend what could be done to pre- vent water from draining across Roberts’ property. Joseph Hudak of Davenport Street asked council if they planned to continue the storm sewer proj- ect on Davenport Street. He said he had purchased the lot adjacent to his property and had planned to fill it in but decided to wait until he knew what council planned to do. Carroll told him that the grant for the storm sewers had been approved and the storm sewer project would be done but not until spring after the council received the funding. Council member Donald Coo- per reported that Irene Boback of Davenport Street told him that two years ago when the council was doing a survey about the sewers, the borough solicitor asked the property owners to lend him their deeds for the survey. She said she still hasn't got back the deed to the Boback's property. Borough manager Lutsey said he had talked to the solicitor who said he would have io find the deeds. Council member Bob Brown! said he was sure the deeds had been returned to the borough of- fice and were in the file in the office. Brown told Lutsey he would help him find the deeds. Lutsey also reported that the new traffic control box for the inter- section of routes 309 and 415 had come in and he had received a bill in the amount of $5,000 for it from Kuharchik. “The box is in the Kuharchik, warehouse until arrangements are made with the state to install the box ata new location,” Lutsey said. The council approved payment of the bill so the state could be con- tacted and the new control box installed. The councilalso approved draw- ing up a joint ordinance with King- ston Township and Dallas Town- ship concerning spills and reim- bursement for expenses in the event another emergency similar to that of October 26 should occur. Lutsey will present the ordinance at the December meeting. President Carroll requested that Lutsey contact the borough solici- tor to get a report from him on the progress being made on the Hearth- stone Pub. Due to some difficulties in get- ting the Christmas lights in place, they will not be turned on until after Thanksgiving but as soon after as possible.

Lemmond, Jr., a co-sponsor of legislation. A living will is a written declara- tion indicating a person's desire for a doctor to initiate, continue, withhold or withdraw certain life- sustaining medical treatment if the person is incompetent and is de- termined to be terminally or per- manently unconscious. In October, the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee approved an amendment to the bill, which incorporates major changes to the original bill by narrowing the scope of the pro- posal in one respect and broaden- ing it in another. As amended, the bill applies only to people who have executed a living will and does not address other related medical decision- making issues. In addition, the measure will apply not only to patients who are terminally ill, but to those who are permanently unconscious, in a persistent vege- tative state or irreversible coma. If the Bill is enacted, any Penn- sylvanian 18 years of age or older, or who is otherwise authorized to give medical consent on his or her behalf, may execute a living will. The document becomes opera- tive when a copy is provided to the attending physician and the at- tending physician determines that the patient is incompetent and in a terminal condition or in a state of permanent unconsciousness. The living will may be revoked at any time.
