ar Ba PARA The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 11,1991 3 Federal judge puts By CHARLOT M. DENMON Post Staff Federal Court Judge Kosik told attorneys for the Institute of Human Resources. Services Inc. and Association for Retarded Citi- zens that they were steps ahead of themselves in the case they filed asking for an injunction to prevent Dallas Township from evicting the five residents in the group home at 236 Church St. Atty. Michael Opel and Atty. | Kimberly Borland had filed the case based on charges of discrimina- tion in response to the township's cHarges filed with the magistrate that the home at 236 Church Street was a boarding house, not a family group home suit on hold home and was in violation of the R- 1 ordinance. The judge told them that he could not determine any discrimi- nation in the township's allegation since they specifically stated in writing that they believed the group home was a boarding house not a family home. Judge Kosik said they first had to wait for a decision from the township zoning board. If not sat- isfied they could take proper steps to file in the County courts and continue if necessary through Commonwealth Courts before fil- ing in Federal Court. The Dallas Township Zoning Board is expected to hand down their decision Sept. 17. Honeys : (eentinued from page 1) i, In deciding to apply for a waiver, the district joined many other school districts in the area taking this option, including Lake- Lehman, Northwest and Tunkhan- wk. vin other business Ed Palka of Shavertown told the board that he was concerned that there was no chorus teacher in the senior high. “My son went to school today (Monday) and there was no chorus teacher and the class had nosuper-. vision,” Palka said. “Iam concerned that one teacher should have to stipervise two classes. It's not safe.” ‘High school principal Frank Galicki said that Cindy Thomas, the chorus teacher, did not come in Monday so band director Tab Hunter was supervising both units. : Wycallis asked Galicki to talk with Ms. Thomas about extending her class hours. Joann Mallick of Applewood Mairior told the board that her son has nine study halls a week—on three days they are back to back— ad that he has no classes after 5 p.m. I" have schedules from three different sections and all of them have too many study halls. Have the study halls been increased because programs and teachers have been cut?” she asked. ‘Dr. Gilbert Griffiths, middle school principal, said that the for- mer activity periods have been incorporated into the study halls gl'the administration is now in theprocess of working out a sched- ule. “We have 635 students in the ‘ddle school and only about 300 these students are in band or cnorus or both. We did not do away with activity periods but merely incorporated them with the study be halls. We dropped intermural pro- grams because the teachers did BE - o fr i i y The school district would use the $130,000 to restore programs cut from the 1991-92 budget not think they were beneficial. We are now rescheduling other pro- grams, one of them tutorial,” Grif- fiths explained. Board member Thomas Stitzer asked Mrs. Mallick to give him the copies of the schedules she had. “l agree that nine study halls are entirely too many. I can't guar- antee we can do anything about it but the board will discuss the problem. Because of lack of funds the board had to cut programs,” Stitzer said. In other business, board mem- bers: * Approved adopting the revised reopened budget with the budget- ary revenue to be decreased in the amount of $618,783 and budget- ary expenditures to be reduced by the same amount for a total budget of $14,218,463 to comply with section 687 (g) of the Public School Code of 1949 amended by Act 25 of 1991. » Approved the request of Mrs. Elizabeth Cannon, professional employee for a sabbatical leave for the 1991-92 school year. o Approved the appointment of Paul Brown as a long term substi- tute professional employee at Dal- las Elementary School for the 1991 - 92 school year filling the vacancy created by Mrs. Cannon's sabbati- cal leave. e Approved the extension of Dallas Education Association's current contract while their nego- tiations are continuing. .

Before paving, the road in the foreground resembled the rutted private road in the background. Other residential roads throughout the borough are presently being paved. According to Abod, after several years of traffic, the tarred and chipped road becomes nearly as hard as standard pavement. The cost is 51 cents a yard of tarring and chipping, as opposed to approximately $13 a yard for traditional pavement. After three years of paving, the only dirt road left in the borough is Hollowich Road. The work has been paid for with state liquid fuels funds, which can only be used for road work. Abod said that the borough is working to make Hollowich and Qutlet roads eligible for the state funding. Jones is donating his time to the borough. 2 ASL LAA, A AAAS SAAS SH rT 7 Fresh Fall ‘Arrangement or = TR ASg | | Centerpiece 43% ee / $1595 BF) | 7 | EVANS-KING LORE INC. 1280 Wyoming Ave., Forty-Fort, PA 2 A 822-1128 - 288-3671 7 Jackson Twp. hopes fire 1 hydrant helps in winter Jackson Township is installing a dry fire hydrant at the township ~ pond next to the new municipal building. The hydrant will not have water under pressure, but will-allow fire- fighters to draw water from the pond without the risk of having their hoses clogged with sediment, or having to chop through ice in the winter, said Jackson Town- ship Fire Chief Rollie Evans. The township's volunteer fire- fighters donated the labor to in- stall the hydrant. Gary Cadwal- ader’s excavating company do- nated both the equipment needed to install the hydrant, and labor. The cost of the materials for the hydrant is approximately $1,000, according to township supervisor Thomas Adams. At their meeting September 9; the supervisors asked solicitor Blythe Evans to send a letter to the Sutton Hills Association asking if a similar hydrant could be installed at Bulford Pond in Sutton Hills. Adams also reminded residents that there is firewood available to municipal building. To take the wood, all residents : . most do is sign a waiver relieving the township of any responsibility in the case of an accident. The best times to sign the waiver are at the new municipal building on week days from 8 to 8:30 a.m., noon to, 12:30 p.m., snd § leash pmd Motorists must keep cars insured, or lose registration State Rep.

If there is a lapse in insurance coverage, the insured person must provide PennDOT with proof of insurance indicating an effective date of coverage 21 days or less from the date the insurance was dropped, and an affidavit stating that the vehicle was not operated during this time. PennDOT also must be provided copies of the 3 insurance documents.

A $50 restoration fee must be paid once the suspension has been lifted. “It is illegal to own or operate a. vehicle without being properly insured,” Mundy said. “Even ifthe car is not being used, it still must A) be covered by insurance.
