Township . Manager Jeffrey Box said the township does not want to be in the land developing business. Part of the residents’ frustra- tion stems from the lack of com- munication with Pizzella, said Tuck. "I have contacted on occa- sion Frank Pizzella, who usually defers questions and comments to another phone number or someone else. It's been a very difficult time to try to find out what's going on." The township has been aware of the problems in Sleepy Hollow and has kept an eye on the pro- ject, said Box. "The board has consistently, over the years, en- forced the ordinances to the let- ter and will continue to do so," he said. A resolution was passed by the supervisors to have the township engineer re-inspect, re-survey and develop new cost estimates of the completion of improvements in Phase I and Phase II, including the improve- ments in the stipulation agree- ment with Lombardo and the developing company. Once the report is filed from the township engineer, the board of supervi- sors will request the bond be in- creased again to cover any added costs. "The residents have never ex- pressed any concern to me," said Lombardo when contacted about the their concerns. "We want to get it finished as quickly as possible. It costs me money to keep the project going." Lombardo said the township knows the development will be done. "We are bonded," he said, "and simply stated, if we don't perform the township can cash the bond and complete the work." One delay, Lombardo said, has been because Latona Truck- ing, Inc., the company doing the work in Sleepy Hollow, is in- volved in another project at the current time. Lombardo said La- tona Trucking has told him there is only a few weeks worth of work which needs to be fin- ished. "As sure as the sun will shine tomorrow, we will finish the pro- ject," he said.

The organization does have the funding needed for the project but engineering work needs to be done before proceeding. * The board of supervisors for Kingston Township lifted the burning ban which was placed on the township due to dry con- ditions earlier this spring. DMS German club presents program The seventh grade members of the Dallas Middle School German club created and presented a program for all sixth grade students. Club members were divided into teams. Each team of students gave a presentation on the origin of a German custom. One group pre- sented a game called “Who Wants To Be a Candy Winner?” Eliza- beth Heintz came dressed in a traditional German folk costume in order to show sixth graders how Germans dressed hundreds of years ago. Programs were presented in each sixth grade home- room. Club member, first row, from left: Brandon Harris, Kyle Baines, Jill Nutche, Nick Oschman, and Mario Oliveri.
