Peace Poles, with plaques in eight languages proclaiming, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” rise in the center of many camps and in the national office of the American Camp Association. Camps and their young ambassadors play an integral role in sowing these seeds of peace. To learn more about camp and child development, visit the American Camp Association’s family Web site: www.

Alexander Gustowarow Eileen Marie Quann Landlocked lot (continued from page 3) information on the slopes, drainage, and tree removal required to expand the pedestrian path, but also information about vegetation and any endangered animal species that might have habitats in the area. A Midvale Mountain Road resident voiced concern about the drainage runoff onto his road, but Fox advised that there would be no increase in the drainage runoff onto that road and that the underground storage system was designed to contain a 25-year storm and drain into the ground until it is filled to capacity and then the runoff would shed down the hill. In his closing argument to the board on the subject, Zisgen said the length of the proposed driveway, the amount of material that would have to be removed from the site, and the provisions of the recent ordinance adopted by the township concerning development in the Highlands conservation area, require that an environmental impact study be submitted. In his closing argument, Weiner claimed the study would provide a lot of information that would be useful to the board and, in light of all the issues raised about the development of this property, he said there is no compelling reason not to require that an environmental impact study be submitted by the applicant. “The board should have this information,” Weiner said. “It cries out for an environmental impact study and the applicant has presented no proof that meets any standard for granting a variance.” Frederick M.
