PLAN Continued from Page 1 throughout the plan — Dallas Borough, Dallas Township, Franklin Township and Lehman Township. According to the document, Kingston Township is expected to have a population increase of 16.6 percent over the next 30 years. At the 2000 census, the township had about 7,145 resi- dents, most of whom were be- tween the ages of 20 and 44. It states most residents are in their 30s and may be living in their first homes and raising their families in the quiet town- ship. This means the township would need to emphasize safety and emergency response, quali- ty education in the Dallas School District and laccess to employment. Eck said there are a few gaps in the business district along Route 309 currently labeled as residential. Expanding the busi- ness district would allow small professional services and retail stores to flourish near the town- ship’s main thoroughfare. The plan states large-scale business development in King- ston Township, such as a depart- ment store or industrial activ- ities, would not be manageable - because of the expense of pro- viding adequate space, utilities and access to such develop- ments. Eck said the township still has adequate space for residential growth, as well. Kingston Town- ship has the second-highest number of housing units per square mile at 215 units. Each unit contains about three acres and most are single family de- tached units. More than half of all land in the township - 55 percent - is la- beled as woodlands or agricultu- ral space, and about 27 percent is used for residential purposes. Eck said this means the town- ship still has room to expand for residential purposes, but ordi- _nances must be updated to pre- serve woodland space, as well. Another area of concern in the township is traffic. Currently, Route 309 is the township’s busi- est road with heavy congestion and different ways to tackle that problem include park-and-ride style public transportation, bicy- cle lanes on certain roads and _pedestrian access to businesses and recreational areas. The plan also said the town- ship should consider the merger of the Trucksville and Shaver- town Volunteer Fire Depart- ments in order to improve emer- gency response services in the township. eCONCERN Continued from Page 1 how to make the amendment even stronger through clarifica- tions. Resident Kim Jacobs felt some of the ordinance was inap- propriate because the township has not made any drastic signif- icant changes to its zoning map in about 60 years. She said ram- pant development and. in- creased population in the agri- cultural district, where most natural gas activities would be. allowed, should be considered as part of this process. Brennan said while rezoning “We have an obligation to make the township available for the reasonable exploration of devel- opment of oil and gas." Atty. Thomas Brennan Dallas Twp. solicitor may be in the township’s future, there is a restrictive time frame within which the amendment must be passed in order to set regulations. Some asked why the industri- al district, which consists of two small areas within the township, was not considered as the only place where natural gas compa- nies could do business. “We have an obligation to make the township available for the reasonable exploration of development of oil and gas,” said Brennan. “The only area that was clearly permitted un- der our zoning ordinance ... was not only very small, it is in a highly populated area ...” Brennan said residents’ com- ments will be considered before a final preparation of the ordi- nance. POSITIONS the areas of food service, teacher associate and clerical; and Me- linda Meeker, of Hunlock Creek, in the area of teacher associate. Recycling opportunity The board heard from Holly Patton, of USAgain Recycling, >: an opportunity for the dis- rict to make extra money witha clothes drop-off bin at district schools. Patton said the company took over clothing, shoe and textile recycling bins for the Salvation Army years ago and has been able to provide fundraising ef- forts for organizations through the bins. The clothes are often sold to second-hand stores in overseas countries so those living in third- world countries have access to clean clothing at affordable pric- es. Patton also said the company distributed clothing to those in -Guaranteed Lowest Price -Large selection of national name brands. need duritig the heavy flooding» in September. She said the company would be responsible for any insurance and maintenance performed on the bins. Any donations would be weighed at the end of each quarter and the district would re- ceive up to two cents per pound of clothing. Athletics memorabilia McGovern told the board that historian Jim Zbick, of Lehight- on, visited the district offices Monday in the event of the re- cent passing of Lake-Lehman High School alumnus Joe Lopas- Lopasky and his brother, Bill, were standout football stars on the Lake-Lehman High School team during the 1950s. Joe Lo- pasky went on to play for the Uni- versity of Houston in Texas, and his greatest accomplishment was scoring four touchdowns at the 1962 Tangerine Bowl in Or- lando, Fla. against Miami Uni- versity of Ohio, becoming the most valuable player of the game.

He suffered knee injuries that slowed down his career, but he continued to coach football in Texas, where he settled, for a number of years until his death on September 20, 2011. Bill Lopasky went on to play for the San Francisco 49ers from 1960 until 1962. He was the only football player from the Lake- Lehman School District to ever play for a professional football team. Zbick donated a 1962 Tanger- ine Bowl stadium seat signed by Joe Lopasky and a San Francisco 49ers football signed by Bill Lo- pasky. McGovern said these items will be part of the Knights of the Roundtable program, which en- courages alumni who have made contributions to the community.

Brock said they're very low-maintenance dogs and al- ways good for a laugh. Brutus wasn’t acting much like a dog with a pair of own- ers - he walked around the event claiming ownership of others.
