J Gallis, Freddie Lomb : PIPELINE Continued from Page 1 compressor station to a metering facility, remove the flammable odorant mercaptan from the site and nix plans for a 100-foot com- munications tower. Residents still question why the company needs to build its tap-in site near the district cam- pus, which houses approximate- ly 3,000 students plus faculty and staff. Barbara Fleming, of Kingston Township, said she’s worried about the safety of her three daughters, who attend Dallas schools. She was concerned about the oft-talked about pipeline integri- ty management program which several Chief witnesses said would contain the highest stan- dards for pipeline safety at this location. Fleming said the feder- al government doesn’t regulate this program to ensure gas com- panies are following the pro- gram. “Even though Chief has given us their word that they’re going to follow that to the highest stan- dards, that doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies because there’s nobody following up on them,” she said. “Human nature: when nobody’s looking, people don’t always do the right thing.” Chief attorney Ken Komoroski asked Fleming and most witness- es who testified what Chief can do as a company to address resi- dents’ concerns. He asked Fleming whether en- suring the pipeline integrity management program is being followed by Chief and monitored by an outside party would de- crease her apprehension for the project. “It would help, but ... I don’t think anything will make me feel comfortable with that type of ac- tivity going on .... My children mean more to me than my own life...,” she said. Resident Norm Tomchak felt the testimony by Chief-paid wit- ness Jack Coyle III, a real estate appraiser asked to investigate the potential effects the pipeline and metering station would have “Even viough Chief has given us their word that | they're going to follow that to the highest stan- dards, that doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies because there's nobody following up on them. Hu- man nature: when nobody's looking, people don't always do the right thing.” Barbara Fleming Kingston Township resident on neighboring property values, was unfounded. ; Coyle did a comparison study on two areas in Delaware County that he deemed similar to the conditions and characteristics of Dallas Township. His findings were that proper- ty values in two communities, Brookhaven Borough and Mid- dletown Township, were unaf- fected by the approximately 50- year-old Spectra gas pipeline running through them. Tomchak, who maintained his real estate license from 1984 through 1986 and is very familiar with the area Coyle studied, said there is no comparison between CURLING Continued from Page 11 student clubs and organiza- tions that are available on cam- pus. BER Nt The Misericordia Curling Club was established in Janu- ary 2011 and is the only cam- pus club in the area. Members practice twice a month at the Ice Rink at Coal Street Park in Wilkes-Barre. The club was founded by adjunct history instructor Ali- son Piatt, a curling enthusiast who recently attended a clinic in Canada with student mem- bers. Piatt and three students will also compete for the first time as a team in a bonspiel (curling tournament) during fall break at the Philadelphia Curling Club. 5d ed the two Delaware County munic- ipalities and Dallas Township. He said those areas are in close proximity to the Philadelphia In- ternational Airport, Amtrak train lines, an oil refinery, the De- laware River, which is used for transportation and other factors not located in Dallas Township. He also said Coyle didn’t account Ryniec and Jack Zeyher all scored touchdowns for the of- fense. Jack Farrell added a punt return for a touchdown. Xander Shaner and Alex Haj kowski got in the action, each providing 2-point conversion runs. The Dallas defense only gave up one touchdown to the Hurri- canes. Devin Richards, Christian Sebastianelli, Nick Biniek and Brennenn Eggleston swarmed the Hurricane offense all day, constantly making disruptive plays in the backfield.

Te a Tn the fF drods of acres of farm- land in Dallas Township. “Why Mr. Coyle would consid- er this to be a good comparison property is beyond me,” said Tomchak. Other residents, including 17- year local firefighter Maureen Oremus, of Franklin Township, said the potential for mass evac- uation logistics of the nearby schools would create a hazard- ous situation of its own. : Oremus, who works for the district and has two daughters attending Dallas schools, said ac- cording to her emergency re- sponder guidebook, a spill or leak at the proposed Chief site would cause for an evacuation within a half mile in all direc- tions, and a fire would cause for the evacuation of residents and buildings within one mile in all directions. She said there are just three “country roads” that lead to the Dallas School District complex, and the potential for panic among parents could cause the situation to get out of control and hinder the response of fire- fighters. “Considering the fact that the school lies within 1,400 feet of the proposed metering station, that’s very much a large concern to (first responders) because you would be having the first respon- ders going into what we deem the hot zone, and that is the last thing you would ever do in any kind of hazardous materials in- cident,” said Oremus. Residents will continue to tes- tify at the next hearing, and then Chief will be given a chance to prepare a rebuttal case. ~ ¢ PUZZLE ANSWERS Puzzles, Page 2 q id — King Crossword — Go Figure! ———— — Super Crossword ———— Answers answers Answers an 5 : 2 i PlE[TIERNAL [o[ABR[Ao[A[RolalL[ElD Solution time: 25 mins.
