Lehman from Senator Charles Lemmond and Representatives Phyllis Mundy, George Hasay and Stanley Jarolin, the legislators obtained the funding for the pipe- line with the understanding that it was supposed to be a perma- nent water supply. “We want to help persuade the commissioner of our continuing interest in the pipeline project,” said Lisa Baker of Senator Lemmond’s office. The pipeline was finished and tested earlier this year, but has been temporarily disconnected until the new bridge on Mizdail Road over Harveys Creek is com- pleted. Area legislators who helped obtain funding for the $663,000 water line from Ceasetown Reser- voir to Chase Prison aren't happy with the Department of Correc- tions’ decision to use it as a backup, continuing to depend on the prison’s three wells for its water. Despite the recommendations ofaa $43,000 study that the prison should use the pipeline and one well to supply the facility's needs, Department of Corrections offi- cials stated last month that they intended to use it only if prison wells go dry or in case of a severe drought emergency.

Sincerely, Charles D. Lemmond, Jr. 20th Senatorial District Phyllis Mundy 120th Legislative District Text of letter to prison commissioner Joseph D. Lehman, Commissioner Dear Commissioner Lehman: We are writing at the request of the Citizens Advisory Commit- tee of the State Correctional Institution at Dallas concerning the enclosed article from The Dallas Post. The article pertains to the new waterline and the Department's plans to utilize it on an As you know, the members of the Legislative Delegation have worked with the Committee to address concerns about the prison’s impact upon the local water aquifer. For many years, the residents have expressed concerns about the prison’s water use, and have asked the Institution officials to implement water con- servation measures during drought conditions. In response to the concerns, we obtained funding through the Capitol Budget for the installation ofa waterline to ensure that the facility would have a permanent water supply. The waterline is now in place and available to serve the prison; however, we have learned that the Department is not planning to use the waterline on a regular basis. It has been our understanding that this wa- terline would provide water on a regular basis and as a means to We truly feel that the prison should use the waterline, and would appreciate your comments and position on this important George C. Hasay 117th Legislative District Stanley Jarolin 119th Legislative District Host families needed for foreign exchange students American Host families are being sought for high school stu- dents from Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and Australia for the 1993-94 school year in a program sponsored by the American Intercultural Stu- dent Exchange (AISE). These exceptional students, ages 15 through 18, will arrive in the United States in August, at- tend a local high school and re- turn to their home countries in June of 1994. The students, all fluent in English, have been care- fully screened by the local repre- sentatives in their home coun- tries and have their own medical insurance and spending money. AISE's main focus is teaching young people about the impor- tance of acceptance of other cul- tures. Cultural exchange is nec- essary to the continued better- ment of civilization as we know it. Without acceptance of the valid- ity of differing cultures, we as Americans are in great danger of becoming culturally ignorant. Don't let this exciting opportu- nity pass you by.
