LE Jsed auto batteries now can be recycled “The Dallas Area Municipal Au- thority, DAMA now has three recy- cling programs on line for resi- dents’ of the Back Mountain. DAMA, in conjunction with Inter- state Batteries, Inc., has begun a battery recycling program believed to be the first of its kind in Eastern Pennsylvania, aimed primarily at automotive batteries according to DAMA representative Larry Spaciano. (The program will also accept the gel-filled type batteries used on electric wheelchairs.) _Spaciano says automobile bat- te! are lead filled and create a wide range of disposal problems. In landfills they create a risk factor fogeontamination of groundwater si®lies. Incineration of the lead- filled ‘auto battery poses risks of toxit * air emissions. Recycling, according to Spaciano, is today's safe option to disposal of auto batteries. Interstate Batteries, Inc. was happy to become involved in the Back Mountain prototype battery recycling program according to Spaciano. Residents of Dallas Borough, Dallas Township and Kingston Township interested in participating in the battery recy- cling program must drop the used ery off at the designated site at th® DAMA complex, 530 South Memorial Highway, Trucksville. ‘The newly-announced battery recycling program joins curbside trash recycling and used motor oil récycling programs currently administered by DAMA. FIRE CLAIMS A LIFE - This ranch home on Perrin’s Marsh, Franklin Twp., was destroyed in a fire which claimed the life of Ella Mae Christian early Saturday morning, April 11. Firefighters from six area fire companies battled the blaze. (Post photo/Grace R. Dove) Fire claims life of elderly woman By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff Fifty firefighters from six Back Mountain fire companies re- sponded to a house fire early Sat- urday morning which claimed the life of Ella Mae Christian, 70, of RR 3 Old Mill Road, Franklin Town- ship. Owned by William and Marie Watkins, the one-story ranch-style home on Perrin’s Marsh was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after 2:45 a.m., according to Franklin Twp. Fire Chief Ron Witkowski. “The family was awakened by the smoke alarms and were able to escape,” Chief Witkowski said. “When they called to Ms. Chris- tian, she answered that she was coming, but when they got out- side, they couldn't find her.” Firefighters later found Ms. Christian's body in the home's basement, where it had evidently fallen when the floor burned through, Witkowski said. The state police fire marshal said that the fire began in the basement and was caused by acci- dental electrical problems, Witkow- ski said. He added that firefighters had a hard time with this fire because of the home's layout; it was originally a house trailer on a basement with an addition. William Watkins and William Price, who also lived with the Watkins family, were transported by the Franklin-Northmoreland Ambulance to the V.A. Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, where they are listed in stable condition, according to Lee Strickland of the hospital's public relations department. Both men are being treated for burns; Price is also being treated for smoke inhalation, Strickland said. : Firefighters from Kunkle, Mount Zion, Falls, Northmoreland and Shavertown fire companies as- sisted Franklin Township at the scene. “It was very unfortunate for this to have happened,” Witkowski said. “But all of the firefighters who helped at the scene worked to- gether to the best of their ability.” He added that any time that someone sees a fire, they should immediately call 911. “We would rather come out and find that the fire is very small or has already gone out, than to have to call out neighboring companies for assistance at a situation that became a major fire,” he said. Chief Witkowski also urged all township residents to regularly check their smoke detectors to make sure that they are working properly.
