2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 23, 1998 ‘Fund to aid Jobson family A fund has been established for the Paul Jobson Jr. family at PNC Bank, 14 N. Main Street, Plains, PA 18705. Paul Jobson Jr., 36, has been diagnosed with Amyo- trophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS attacks the nerves in the spinal cord and brain that control muscle movement. It causes pro- gressive paralysis. The disease can progress rapidly or it can slowly deteriorate the muscles over a very long time. Jobson was a former basket- ball star dout at Lake-Lehman and Lycoming College. He formerly coached the Dallas girl's basket- ball team and until his illness, was a basketball official in the: Wyoming Valley conference. He is currently on a leave of absence from Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. in Duryea. Jobson is seeing several spe- cialists and is receiving treatment for his illness. He is remaining positive about his prognosis. Sev- eral benefits were conducted on his behalfand he is very apprecia- tive for the kindness and generos- ity extended to him by his friends, family and community. Jobson lives at home with his wife, Sharon. The couple has a two year old daughter, Katie. All contributions to the fund will be given to the family.

The state governs chemical toilets in three areas: administration, per- mitting, and standards. Adminis- tration describes when they're used, permitting requirements control their use, and standards define their design. A According to Sabulski, how- ever, the state is vague in many of the definitions used in its own regulations regarding chemical toilets. Although state law requires that any home or residence within 150 feet of a sewer must tap into the line, it is unclear whether ~ boathouses are residences. The state itself uses the term “tempo- rary use” when permitting chemi- cal toilets for construction or large public gatherings and entertain- ment, but “temporary use” is not defined. Certain laws only apply to subdivisions created after May, 1972, and new regulations went into effect in January, 1998. Sabulski said he is not aware of any other. communities with a: similar problem to Harveys Lake. DEP traditionally will not get in- volved with the chemical toilet battle unless an environmental problem occurs, such as leaks or pollution. Permitting regulations give the municipalities some leeway re- garding what they can exempt from use, he said, adding that “we don’t allow chemical toilets to go in helter skelter. I think itis within ‘their prerogative to enforce sewer ‘hook up.” Council is divided on the use of job johnnies. President Martin Noon is in favor of a three-day limit. Ed Kelly has suggested a three-month limit. “It's a judg- ment - call,” said. Charles McCormick, “to define short du- ration.” McCormick, the borough solicitor, argued that according to the state, residents are not al- lowed to use alternatives if a sewer system is available. At the meeting, Wayne Devine asked which council members owned boat houses, and four re- sponded affirmatively. Noon’'s house is hooked up to the sewer, and Kopko said his will be next summer. Both Andrews and Kelly have lake properties that are not hooked to the sewer. Larry West suggested that council be specific about removal of the job johnnies, in addition to restricting their use. “Are you going to give me per- mission to put a second floor on my boathouse to fit in a bath- room?” asked Marie Gurnari. In other business, the council passed aresolution naming a “tax hearing officer,” as required by Act 50 of 1998, also known as the “Local Taxpayers Bill of Rights.” John Brokenshire, CPA, was ap- pointed and will serve the bor- ough probonoas a sounding board for residents with tax problems other than real estate taxes. Michael Sitkowski was ap- pointed as borough arbitrator for the new police contract. The bor- ough and the police department have yet to agree on terms of the new contract, and negotiations will now go to arbitration. Sitkowski’s hourly rate of $50 is half of the average lowest hourly rate’in Luzerne County, accord- ing to McCormick.
