DALLAS TOWNSHIP Letterkenny Lane may be renamed By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent Named after a town in Coun- ty Donegal, Ireland, Letterken- ny Lane has been the name of a road off 42nd Street for near- ly 120 years, said Letterkenny Lane residents Tom and Joan Byron at Monday's board of su- pervisors meeting. The couple said they have been notified by the county’s emergency management office that the road would be re- named “Byron Lane” to aid in emergency situations as well as in postal deliveries. Because three other houses are on that road, the Byrons asked if the addresses for those properties would be renamed to reflect the owners’ last names as well. They asked if the road’s name could stay Let- terkenny Lane. Board secreta- ry Nancy Balutis said she would look into the matter with the county Emergency Management Ssystems office. In other business, the board e Voted to approve an In- tergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the town- ship and the five other Back Mountain municipalities that Because three other houses are on that road, the Byrons asked if the addresses for those properties would be renamed to reflect the own- ers’ last names as well. make up the Back Mountain Partnership to purchase a ra- dar display speed trailer.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP New sirens coming By EILEEN GODIN Dallas Post Correspondent Jackson Township supervi- sors gave an update on two new SCI-Dallas prison siren installations, plus approved two mutual cooperation agreements to share paving equipment and emergency management services with neighboring municipalities at their regular meeting held November 1. Last month, supervisors announced the emergency prison sirens at Wallow Mountain in Lehman Town- ship (known as the power- house whistle), at the prison and on the Jackson Town- ship salt storage shed off Chase Road would be re- placed. Chairman John Wilkes Jr. said the siren at the salt stor- age shed has been replaced but the one at Wallow Moun- tain was higher than antici- pated, noting that SCI-Dallas will use a crane to reach it. Supervisors approved a mutual cooperative agree- ment with Lehman Town- ship and Dallas Borough for use of paving equipment. The equipment would be purchased in unison with the two other municipalities and shared, Wilkes said. Pooling resources to pro- vide excellent emergency management services was the thought behind a mutual cooperative agreement with Dallas Borough. Wilkes said “We want to provide the best services in cases of emergencies. By combining services, we maximize our re- sources and increase grant possibilities.” John Wilkes Jr. Supervisor chairman both Jackson Township and Dallas Borough have great emergency management ser- vices, adding it makes sense to combine efforts for the betterment of the communi- ties. “We want to provide the best services in cases of emergencies,” he said. “By combining services, we max- imize our resources and in- crease grant possibilities.” In other news ... e Supervisors approved a Back Mountain Community Partnership resolution to participate in a regional wa- ter study of the Back Moun- tain, creating a baseline ref- erence for future water test- ing. e Wilkes said the 2011 pro- posed budget will be passed at the December 23 meeting but will be available for pub- lic review by December 1.
