DALLAS TOWNSHIP ‘Public use’ debated By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent The definition of “public use” for a large recreational area own- ed by the township was debated at Tuesday’s board of supervisor’s meeting. The 56-acre parcel, donated to the township in 1950 by Dr. Bud Schooley, is considered a “forest preserve” said supervisor Glenn Howell. It has been the site of a Little League field for decades. Dave Pellam, of Kunkle, brought along a copy of the prop- erty’s deed with a photocopied handwritten note, which he said was attached to the original deed, filed at the courthouse. The note, dated June 20, 1946, which Pellam assumed was writ- ten by Schooley, read: “The Dal- las Township Community Forest is to be used for the benefit of the people of Dallas Township.” “I think that, in itself, says a lot,” Pellam said after the meet- ing. Pellam urged the supervisors to reject a request from Chief Oil “I'm not against cell towers or pipelines, but | don't think they should be there.” David Pellam Kunkle resident & Gas Company to lay a natural gas line under part of the proper- ty, which is off Old Tunkhannock Highway. He said he and his neighbors also want the cell tow- er which was erected on the site several years ago to be removed. “I'm not against cell towers or pipelines, but I don’t think they should be there,” he said. In a related matter, the board announced that a presentation of factual information by the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug.11 at the Dallas Methodist Church. In other business, the board ap- proved a resolution to name a pri- vate driveway owned by William Grant and located off Dorchester Drive as “Lt. Michael Cleary Drive.” OBITUARIES DASILVA - Lillian, formerly of Swoyersville, died Monday, Aug. 2, 2010 at the Meadows Nursing Center, Dallas, where she had been a guest.
