— 3 Sunday, July 8, 2012 THE: DALLAS POST PAGE 5 5 ®' TOWNSHIP “Police chief takes issue with DARE program funds By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com Supervisors discussed con- tributing to the Dallas School District DARE (Drug Abuse Re- sistance Education) program at a work session Tuesday evening. Supervisor Bill Grant said the program is scheduled to cost as ‘much as last year, about $2,625. ~~ The program is conducted by ‘Kingston Township Police Offi- cer Frank Ziegler, and four mu- nicipalities and the school dis- trict contribute to the program, which is taught to elementary and middle school students. Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolley said he didn’t agree with the costs. He said the Dallas Township Police Depart- ment has services, like the K-9 unit, that benefit the Dallas School District, but no other municipalities contribute funds towards those programs. “At the next Kingston Town- ship supervisors meeting, should I go down for dog food?” he said. “Where does this stop?” Atty. Ben Jones III, who was at the meeting for an unrelated issue and serves as solicitor for Kingston Township, said the “At the next Kingston Township supervisors meet- ing, should | go down for dog food? Where does this stop?” Robert Jolley Dallas Twp. police chief money is used to pay Ziegler and for the special DARE- marked vehicle he uses for the program. Jolley said Kingston Town- ship took over the DARE pro- gram when state funding was available for it, and after the funding was no longer available, all municipalities in the dis- trict’s boundaries were asked to contribute. Grant said Jolley had a point, and it was something to think about. The supervisors announced ambient sound testing was con- ducting by Vibra-Tech to deter- mine a baseline sound level for three different locations prior to the installation of two metering stations and pipeline construc- tion near Hildebrandt Road. Grant said it was done at resi- dents’ requests. Sound levels were tested at Fairground Road, the Evangelical Free Church on Hildebrandt Road and at the site of the Transco interstate pipe- line near those locations. Sound levels were tested six times during a 24-hour period in May and levels were determined to be in normal ranges. Grant said he’s unsure what the conse- quences will be if natural gas pipeline and metering station activities cause the sound levels to increase. Metering stations will be built by Williams Field Services LLC and PVR Partners, formerly Chief Gathering LLC, to corre- spond with their pipeline pro- jects in the township. Parts of the Transco interstate pipeline, into which the aforementioned pipelines will connect, will be replaced this summer. Supervisors also announced that the state Department of En- vironmental Protection notified See DARE, Page 11 _ The Back Mountain Cham- ber is pleased to announce that Donald A.
