Burning
(continued from page 1)
Everyone is going to do it
eventually, we're just one of the
first.”
Shaver said the question is
one of convenience.
She said officials want every-
one to haul yard clippings and
paper products to the munici-
pal garage or the Dallas Area
Municipal Authority, where
they will composted or recy-
cled, but Shaver said that
places an unfair burden on resi-
dents, especially the elderly.
“What 'if you don’t own a
truck, or you can’t lift huge
branches to load them in a
truck to take them to the mu-
nicipal building or to DAMA?”
she asked. “Just about anyone
can drag a branch into a burn
pit.”
O'Neill said that while he
can’t speak for the supervisors
he thinks the issue of burning
yard waste is the one area of
the proposed ordinance in
which there might be some
room for negotiation.
“That is the one issue that is
still up in the air,” O'Neill said.
“There is a possibility we
might be able to meet in the
middle on that part of it.”

be unhappy.
“On one hand the people
who burn feel that is their God-
given right and on the other
hand those who don’t burn,
think they have a right to
breathe good air,” he said.
“There is no solution that is go-
ing to please everyone.”

By ERIN YOUNGMAN
Post Staff
DALLAS — Punchlist items
for the middle school renova-
tion project are dwindling fast,
said the company overseeing
the project.
Paul Degillio of Foreman
Burkavage reported to the
school board Monday that
items remaining for completion
on the project have been re-
duced to 20 from 88 two weeks

at them,” responded Degillio,

and ends” of electrical and
