PAGE 10 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, July 24, 2011 DAVENPORT IS AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP The Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees (PASR) presented Lindsey Davenport with its annual scholarship. A Dallas High School graduate, Davenport will begin her senior year at Wilkes University majoring in elementary education and special education. PASR includes all retired employees of the public schools of Pennsylvania. From left, are Armonde Casagrande, PASR pres- ident; Dr. Caroline Maurer, Wilkes Education Department chair; Davenport and Helene Dainowski, Educational Support Committee. 9 Continued from Page 1 tem, a national standard, which measures houses from the begin- ning of a street every 52.8 feet. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense on streets that are established,” said Congleton. “If there were three lots next to me are that are empty, then it makes sense, and you could leave space for the numbers 50 and 48. But there is not enough room between me and the next house - it’s our yards.” Residents living in Newberry Estates, a planned, gated com- munity, are also feeling the ef- fects of the project. Resident Jim Devlin said there’s a street in the community numbered consecu- tively and a break at an intersec- tion increases the house num- bers on the other side of the block by 50. “How in the world is the gener- al public going to recognize this, looking at numbers that jump with no rhyme or reason for it?” he said Devlin. He has been working with resi- dents in the community to settle the issue, including regularly speaking with post office and emergency officials to better un- derstand the changes he and oth- ers face during the project. Rosencrans said once the ad- dresses are finalized, they will never need to be changed again, and those who do not comply with the changes could face a fine. “If a letter doesn’t get deliver- ed, it’s not a big deal, but if we don’t respond, we get sued or someone could die,” said Rosen- crans. “This minor inconve- nience is worth a lifetime of safe- Congleton said she doesn’t un- derstand why an established road needs to change and plans to have a lawyer look into the is- sue. “We've been here for 50 years,” she said. Dallas Fire Chief Harry Vivian said the changes are worth mak- ing, especially in an emergency situation. “I can’t stress enough that resi- dents should comply with ad- dressing changes by 911,” he said. “Being a first responder, it’s very frustrating when there is somebody calling for help and not being able to help them.” EXPERT Continued from Page 3 only combustible when it reaches a concentration percentage be- tween 4.3 and 15 percent, Reza said, natural gas inside a pipeline cannot be flammable because it is too rich. In the event of a natural gas leak, the gas would eventual- ly disperse into the air and its concentration would fall below 4.3 percent, making it no longer combustible. Reza also testified that certain factors would need to be present in order for the natural gas to be- come a potential danger. He said a leak would need to be caused, an ignition source would need to be present and all the pipeline’s safeguards would need to fail. Even in that scenario, he said, the church and school would not be damaged. Reza said he was not instructed by Chief to discuss the risk for houses on nearby Fair- ground Road to sustain damage caused by a leak at the proposed site. He said the company has im- plied there will be a very strin- gent pipeline integrity manage- ment system implemented for this pipeline associated with the metering station, but the pro- gram has not yet been devised be- cause the plans have not been ap- proved. Residents and opposing attor- neys questioned Reza’s science. Some questioned whether the engineer was aware of neighbor- ing houses or the age of the Tran- sco interstate pipeline, into which Chief is planning to tap its approximately 30-mile gathering line from Susquehanna County. Reza said he was not instructed to consider either of these situa- tions. Chief is proposing to build a metering facility on a property lo- cated off Hildebrandt Road about 1,300 feet from the Dallas School District campus. Through nego- tiations, the company has agreed to remove aspects of its operation from the site, including an 8,000- gallon underground tank of the flammable odorant mercaptan and a 100foot communications tower. STANDSTILL Continued from Page 3 would be temporary until nego- tiations with Dallas Township officials were finalized. Brennan said the company will also petition the township’s zoning hearing board in protest of the township's requirements for land development and zon- ing in relation to the pipeline. The company is currently working with the township planning commission for its pipeline application, and engi- neer Thomas Doughton said that work will continue despite the company’s protest. He said, while the stalemate could be moved forward, he is “not optimistic at this point.” In other news, the board ap- proved an agreement to pur- chase more than 100 street signs from Bassler Equipment of Forty Fort in conjunction with the Luzerne County 911 readdressing project and rou- tine maintenance.

Third baseman Noyalis started one of the twin kill- ings and also made a pair of back-handed grabs to save ex- tra bases and get a groun- dout. Back Mountain jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first when Paul Narcum (3- for-5) and Deep Patel (2- for-3) started off the game with back-to-back doubles. Patel’s hit scored Narcum and then he scored on an RBI sin- gle by Noyalis. Back Mountain was far from finished as it scored one run in the third and sixth and put up three in the fourth and eighth to end the game early. CONDOS Continued from Page 3 Terrana said the software used to develop the map had a glitch which made the contour lines jump eight inches up or down when hitting the curb. These lines then run through the map. “Itisjustamerelinenoted onthe plan,” he said.
