2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 18, 1998 Harveys Lake Fire & Ambulance switching to county dispatch ‘Harveys Lake Borough's Harveys Lake Fire and Ambu- lance Company will transition its emergency call-taking and dispatching services to the Luzerne County Emergency Services Department March 23. Monday's switch to Luzerne County Emergency Services is the organization’s first step to begin transitioning for participa- tion in Luzerne County's county-wide Enhanced 911 emergency reporting and dispatching system and service. Luzerne County expects to implement county-wide En- hanced 911 service in mid-June. “Harveys Lake and Lake Twp. residents and businesses needing to access the organization's services should continue to use the existing seven-digit emergency reporting telephone number,” said Frank Lutinski, fire chief. The Harveys Lake Fire and Ambulance Company's existing seven-digit emergency reporting telephone number is 639-5261. “This is the emergency reporting telephone number people in Harveys Lake and those sections of Lake Twp. served by this company need to know - and use - when they have an emergency that requires an immediate response from the Harveys Lake Fire and Ambu- lance Company,” company ambulance captain Robert Vosik stressed. “It is important that residents and businesses in these communities understand that county-wide access to Enhanced 911 is not yet avail- able and won't be until mid- June.” Luzerne County Emergency Services currently provides emergency and non-emergency call-taking and dispatching services for the borough's police department. The Harveys Lake Borough emergency reporting telephone number is 639-1690. Emergency Services also provides emergency and non- emergency call-taking and dispatching services for the Lake Twp. Police Department. The Lake Twp. Police Department’s emergency reporting telephone number is 675-5259. DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS | D.U.I.

Glidden asked the public where they have been since the tower issue came up last June. “We negotiated with Cellular One in public. We were looking for public comment and we didn’t get any. We had a minimal response. Where was everybody when we advertised this over the last 10 months?” The township sent 84 letters to people living in the immediate area of the proposed tower site and advertised public input hear- ings in newspapers. Many people at the meeting said they knew nothing of the tower until a couple of weeks ago when someone came to them with a petition against it. David Koziel expressed his con- cern about lowered property val- ues. Melnick told him that courts would only consider effects on property value if there was expert testimony stating it to be true. He said a real estate agent would have to testify. : Representatives testifying for Cellular One said the tower would be 15 ft. from the former munici- i hal for Brunch! 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In Our Newly Remodeled Banquet Room! $12.95.
