Knight, and Harrison Ford, “42” is the story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making Shawnee Drive (continued from page 5) blocks are impervious, but that the quarter inch space between the pavers renders the driveway pervious, and he has not backed away from that opinion, Pullaro said, while Boswell’s contradiction of that opinion is not all contained in one document. “I don’t believe it’s pervious coverage,” Pullaro said, “but Bowell’s position is not all in one concise place, and that’s my concern. I’d be happy if there was a report (from Boswell).” Boswell, however, read the opinion of Hormoz Paswash, an expert from Boswell McClave Engineering, who also has a Ph.D. in hydrology. In that conclusion, which Boswell said was reached after reviewing Sheta’s report and is in direct contradiction to Sheta’s testimony, Paswash stated, “Neither the openings nor the sub-stone base is capable of infiltrating such a rainfall and the pavement cannot be accepted as a pervious surface. Therefore, it must be recon- structed completely in accordance with the design stan- dards, or removed.” Boswell also told the board that photos have been sub- mitted to the board showing the “ponding” of rain water on the driveway and running off the driveway, which is in direct opposition to Sheta’s testimony. Councilman Charles Kahwaty expressed the opinion that Sheta’s testimony was not credible. Bivona said Sheta’s argument that, while water cannot seep through the pavers, it seeps through the spaces between the pavers, which makes the driveway pervious, is “a ridiculous argument” because, if it were true, it would be possible to cover the whole property with paver blocks. signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers under the guidance of team executive Branch Rickey. The movie is rated PG-13 and runs for 128 minutes.
