FRACK SsoAcoalition.or CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Members of the Back Mountain community, including Cathy Duffy, of Shavertown, Louis DalSan- ta, of West Wyoming, Connor Duffy, Jean DalSanto and Diane Drier, all of Dallas, demonstrate every Wednesday evening to bring awareness to the problems associated with gas drilling . On Tuesday of last week, several Back Mountain residents traveled to the state capitol building in Harrisburg to attend a rally against forced pooling and statewide zoning exemptions. POOLING Continued from Page 1 ers who havent leased their land if their land is in an area where most landowners have given up their property to drill- ing. Gas companies insist this will cause fewer land disturb- ances in drilling areas, but lan- downers are concerned that this is “eminent domain in sheep’s clothing,” said John Trallo, of Sullivan County. “As 1 was under the under- standing, our democracy is @ sed on one man and one vote —not one vote for one acre,” said Barrett. . State legislators are consider- ing forced pooling as an aspect of a severance tax for gas compa- nies. Statewide zoning exemp- tions are also being considered, and activists feel this act would belittle the power of local mu- nicipalities. Liz Martin, born and raised in Dallas and a member of GDAC, feels these issues aren't just in- fringing on citizens’ rights but are wrecking the hopes of a com- munity. Martin's family has owned 40 acres of land in Dallas for years, and now she has finally been able to build and live in her “dream home” on the property with her family. Martin hopes her 13-year-old son will continue to live on the land when he grows older. “The thing is ... if our wa- tershed is destroyed, I'll have no choice but to leave,” she said with tears in her eyes. “I've been there my whole life.” Demonstrators held signs be- hind speakers at the press con- ference, and, afterwards, the ac- tivists went to speak with the state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-Glen Mills) and state Senate President Jo- seph Scarnati III (R-Warren) to express their ill feelings about these issues. SCHOOL Continued from Page 1 The board is also concerned about land acquisition. The Dal- las campus is approximately 101 acres, according to Galicki, and where there was once just one building, there are now four. This doesn’t include the new high school being built on the property, as well as the district’s athletic fields. Galicki said the board is con- cerned about whether or not it will need the land on which the former school sits or the build- ing itself in the eventof a disas- ter or growing population. The township high school is adjacent to the Back Mountain Baseball Association Little League fields. Galicki said there The property would be leased to Radnor from the school dis- trict for a length of 50 years. Yeager says the district would save nearly $500,000 in demolition costs, and the property would generate up to $35,000 in tax revenue for the district every year. is also concern about parking and mixing “the Little League crowd with the collegiate crowd.” Yeager said this issue has al- ready been rectified. “What's terrific about these proposals concerning the stu- dent apartments is that baseball season starts in early May, and students graduate in early May,” he said. “They (students) would not be there.” Yeager also believes that the deteriorating building would turn into an asset for the dis- trict, and this decision could on- ly provide more funding for the schools. “The district is dealing with this complete liability — sooner or later the district needs to de- termine what it needs to do with that facility,” he said. The school board will vote on a resolution to continue negotia- tions with Radnor Property Group and Misericordia Univer- sity at its regular meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 20 in the administration building next to Wycallis Elementary School on the Dallas School District cam- pus on Hildebrandt Road.
