Dallas Post/Joan Kingsbury
Free energy surveys conducted by Energy Effi-
ciency Teams are available through the Economic
Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s
Region III, Pennsylvania Energy Center.
Small Businesses, Local Governments and multi-unit
apartment buildings are all eligible structures for the
energy survey. Single unit apartments and private
residences are not eligible for the survey.
An energy survey is an analysis of a building or
apartment’s heating and cooling efficiency. The
survey takes approximately one hour and includes
checks of heating and cooling equipment, windows,
doors, insulation, lighting, appliances, water heating,
and usage patterns that affect consumption. At the
conclusion of the survey, the team member will
recommend low cost or no cost energy efficiency
measures that will reduce utility costs and conserve
energy. The probable energy savings for each
improvement will be calculated so that the property
vation recommendations will be left with each prop-
erty owner who participates in the survey.
There are no charges involved for the energy survey
prnvided by the Energy Center.
Program funds are provided in part, by the Gover-
nor’s Energy Council and the U.S. Department of
Energy.
The Energy Center provides the Energy Efficiency
survey service to organizations located within the
seven counties of Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne,
Monroe, Pike, Schuylkill, and Wayne. To date, over
2,500 energy surveys have been completed by the
Pennsylvania Energy Center.
If you are interested in scheduling an on-site survey
of your building to cut down on your energy cost, or if
you have an energy question or problem you would
like easy access to free information regarding conser-
vation techniques for your home, business or firm,

Summer is almost over and Girl
Scout Leaders are getting organized
for the new Scouting year ahead.
They are working with Neighbor-
hood Directors and members of the
Field Staff to plan the activities that
will make it a year of growth and
discovery for Girl Scouts of each
age level. And as they work, it is
obvious that in some areas there
are lots of girls who would like to be
Girl Scouts, but there are no Lead-
ers.
Have you noticed flyers out in
your library, and other places, with
a picture of four smiling Girl Scouts
who are asking, “Will you be our
Girl Scout Leader?’’ They are there
because more adult volunteer lead-
ership is needed.
Girls today really need the pro-
gram offered by Girl Scouting.

‘Drugs are garbage’
By WALLY KOCHER
Staff Correspondent
When the Pennsylvania House floor sessions resume
this fall, a new piece of legislation concerning drug
and alcohol abuse will be introduced.
Representative George C. Hasay recently announced
he will introduce the legislation which would require
public elementary schools in the commonwealth to
offer courses which would inform students of the
effects of alcoholic beverages, stimulants and narcot-
ics on the human body.
Rep. Hasay was made aware of the problem
recently when he attended a meeting of the newly
formed Harveys Lake Drug Action Committee.
Since its conception in January of this year, the
committee has held monthly meetings, every third
Thursday of the month, at the Harveys Lake Borough
Building.
Nick DeVeronica, chairman of the committee,
explained why the group was formed.
“Basically, I wanted to make sure that my 19 month
old grandson and his friends would be aware of the
dangers in drug and alcohol abuse,” DeVeronica said.
“I don’t know much about drugs, but I do know they
are bad. They cause teenage suicides, rapes, and even
illegitimate births.”
According to DeVeronica, the committee’s main
project at the present time is to get Rep. Hasay’s
legislation pushed through.
“Right now, it’s not mandatory for an elementary
school to teach this to the Kids,” said DeVeronica.
‘“‘We want to see it become mandatory.
“The kids have to realize,” he continued, ‘that
drugs are bad news. It’s garbage. You wouldn’t go to a
landfill for a dinner, so why should a kid take this
garbage?’ 4
Both Back Mountain schools, Dallas and Lake-
Lehman, are one step ahead of everyone else. Both
schools are already conducting drug awareness pro-
grams.

by Sheldon Hoover, had the passen-

“We offer the ‘Here’s Looking at You II’ program,”
stated Charles James, principal at the Lehman-
Jackson elementary school. ‘‘So far, the kids have
been very responsive to it.”
According to James, the program has been geared
toward the fourth through sixth grade students, but
will also include second and third graders this year.
“More than likely, it will eventually include all
elementary students, including the kindergarten,” he
said.
James doesn’t feel there is a great problem as of
yet. However, he doesn’t believe in delaying such a
program until there is a problem, either.
“I’m just beginning to see some of the problems
here at Lehman that I saw 22 years ago when I was in
New Jersey,” he said. “I think we’d rather be ahead
of the problem than behind it. This legislation, if it
should pass, will back us up, and make our jobs
easier.”
The program ‘‘Here’s Looking at You II” is also
being offered to Dallas area elementary students.
According to Gerald Wycallis, acting superintendent
for the district, the Dallas schools have had the
program for several years.
“We've offered the program for the past three or
four years,” he said. “We were first approached with
the idea by the Back Mountain Drug Action Commit-
tee, which I believe is now called Parents and Kids,
(PAK). :
“We then sent several staff members to special
training classes where they were introduced to the
program,” he added.
According to Wyecallis, the program has also been
well received at the Dallas elementary schools.
Rep Hasay explained why the legislation is posed
toward the elementary schools only.
“I feel it’s too late to try to educate the high school
isn’t a real problem in the elementary schools, we
should safeguard ourselves and our children against
the problem.”
