"According to DAMA general manager Tom Bagley, DAMA must pay the Wyoming Valley Sanitary a Authority an additional $20 per customer for sewage treatment. The remaining $10 of the rate increase will be used for operating expenses and to pay for the $5 “million force main connecting "DAMA with WVSA, Bagley said. Because DAMA was created as ‘a municipal authority by its member communities, it sets its own rates and is not regulated by ' the Public Utility Commission (PUC), which regulates privately- owned utilities, Bagley said.

The firm's inspector stated that this was very unusual. “We generally find some recommendations are necessary to improve safety,” he said. “None whatsoever were needed here which reflects very favorably on your management.” Lutsey commented that leaf pickup this year was proceeding according to plan. Leaves may be bagged or raked to the curb. Lutsey explained, “We know homeowners like to rake on weekends, so we'll pick up on Mondays, plus Tuesdays if necessary. We can easily do the entire borough in two days and we'll keep at it until the snow flies.” A tractor-trailer parked on the crest of a hill at the bicentennial park in the Water Street/Daven- port area has made it difficult for oncoming traffic to see children there.

DOVE Post Staff The protests of nearly 70 resi- dents of Jackson and Lehman townships apparently won't change the plan to change secu- rity arrangements at Chase prison. The residents met October 20 with officials from the State Cor- rectional Institution at Dallas (SCID) and the Department of Corrections to discuss pending changes in the prison’s security system. By the end of March or April only three of the prison’s eight watchtowers will be manned on a part-time basis, instead of post- ing guards 24 hours aday in each tower. The tower in the main compound will be manned be- tween 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., while a tower in the exercise yard will be manned only when prisoners are outdoors. The tower at the main gate will be manned until 6 p.m. A high-tech double electronic security fence and round-the- clock patrol cars will replace the towers, whose guards will be re- assigned to posts inside the build- ings. SCID media officer Tom Figmick has said that the electronic fence is extremely sensitive, and is backed up by a lighting system so bright that it can be seen from the east side of Wyoming Valley. SCID Concerned Citizens chair- man Pat Rusiloski said that her organization is circulating peti- tions among Jackson and Lehman township residents, expressing their support for continuing use of the watchtowers instead of re- lying mainly on the security fences. “This prison does nothing for us,” said Jackson Township supervisor Walter Glogowski. “We get nothing out of it. The least we could do is feel secure.” / “They're definitely not taking the citizens’ rights into consideration. We have a right to say how we're to be protected.” Walter Sienkiewicz Lives near prison “They're definitely not taking the citizens’ rights into consid- eration,” said Walter Sienkiewicz, who lives very close to the prison. “We have a right to say how we're to be protected. As far as the security system goes, if it's not broke, don't fix it. I call them ‘the Untouchables’ because they do what they want to.” “The new security system was designed for the newer prisons,” said Ed Chesnovitch. “This prison is the old type - the plans are for the newer ones and won't fit this facility.” The change in the security system was a departmental deci- sion made by Corrections Com- missioner Joseph Lehman, Figmick said. “SCID is the last prison in the state to go to a different security system,” he said. “It's part of the unit management method of op- erating prisons. It's being done all across the state corrections sys- tem. We have until March or April to develop our plan and get it operational. “ Developed within the past sev- eral years, unit management di- vides a prison into several units in order to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively, Figmick said. SCID’s unit management plan has taken so long to develop be- cause the prison is “unique,” ex- tremely spread out, he said. The Post makes a great gift!
