“Hello, homefolks! Well, hello, homefolks. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong...”
■ Borrowing a tune from *‘Hello Dolly,” joyous greetings echoed throughout Sewickley again this past weekend as former Sewickleyans and guests attended the festivities, visited family and friends and milled along the streets of their beloved
Sewickley for the 26th Annual Come On Home Weekend.
The Cabaret “Carnival” on Saturday night, filled Post 450 fiUed to capacity.
The new decorating team, Marilyn Dowdy and Betty White lined the hall with huge cardboard clowns and masks, colorful streamers and balloons. The centerpieces were metallic handbags filled with metallic excelsior, along with colorful horns and masks.

T HAZARD
Leetsdale firm ignores PennDER
Allstates Environmental Inc., owner of suspected hazardous waste located in Leetsdale, has n6t met the Department of Environmental Resource’s (DER) deadline for a plan to remove the questionable material.
Because the DER has not heard from AllstateS, despite issuing art order bn June 22 for removal, DER spokesperson Betsy Mallison says the department is “reviewing options” about penalizing the company.
No one is positive about the composition of the mat€irial, which is located in the old Bethlehem Steel Baildirig in Leetsdale Industrial Park.
The June Order was issued to Dale Kinney, treasurer of Allstates. It said the company must:
« Conduct a waste-characterization analysis, which will tell what the material is;
• Arrange for proper transportation and disposal of the material;
• ■ Provide for decontamination of the warehouse.
Allstates Environmental Inc. had 15 days from the day it received the order to submit a work plan to the DER. At that point, the DER was to approve or change the plan to meet its approval, after which Allstates had 21 days to complete DER requirements.
. Kinney or any other Allstates official could not be reached for comment. The firm’s Leetsdale number has been disconnected.

Matthew's A.M.E. Zion Church. See page A9.

appealed
Sewickley Heights Trust shareholder Don Rose Jr. has appealed an Orphan’s Court decision to the state Superior Court.
On March 6, the trustees received a favorable declaratory judgment from Judge J. Warrgn Watson, confirming .the trustees’ authority to donate the property under dispute to the borough.
On June 1, Judges J. Warren Watson, Nathan Schwartz and Robert Kelley heard exceptions filed by Rose to that judgment.
On June 22, the three judges dismissed Rose’s exceptions, which he later appealed to the Superior Court on July 8.
The lawsuit involves a 500-acre tract of woodlands near Sewickley Heights Park.
The majority of the shareholders would like to donate the land to the borough for use as a public park, but Rose would like to see it developed.
Rose contends the land, supposedly worth $10 to $15 million, should be sold, not only to benefit the shareholders, but also to produce tax money for Sewickley Heights Borough and the Quaker Valley School District.
Bob Ei ilstein, attorney represei«i ing trustees G. Whitney S-syder, John C. Oliver III and -phen E. Nash, said the deciu. .n handed down by the court i.vas correct.
Don Ror'e’s counsel, Jeff Lud-wikowski, stated “We think the decision was incorrect and have appealed.”
The next step in the lawsuit is for Rose and Ludwikowski to prepare a briefing schedule, which Beilstein and the trustees will have a chance to reply to. Rose and Ludwikowski will then have an opportunity to respond to their brief.
Ludwikowski estimates that a fall hearing is a reasonable assessment.
