nock while launching his boat
Sunday afternoon at Harveys Lake.
‘Boaters should not be allowed to
have alcohol. If they need to drink,
let them wait until the end of the
day. At least then they cannot kill
someone.”
“Rules and laws are great,” Rul-
lund continued. ‘‘But the state
should use stiff fines to stop people
from drinking. You have got to hit
them where it hurts, in the wallet.”
- Nannette Willarde, 46, of Benton
said she feels anyone caught with a
beer while boating should have their
boat permit revoked and should pay
a fine.
‘“The only way to stop them
(drunk boaters) is to take their boat
registration away from them,” said
Willarde. “There is no reason to be
drinking and boating. How can you
swim if you are drunk,” Willarde
asked. “Make them pay too,” said
Willarde. “That is the only way they
will stop.”
Presently, Pennsylvania permits
boaters to drink alcohol but does not
allow boating while intoxicated.
“Right now you are definitely
allowed to have it (alcohol) while
boating,”’ said Kerry Messerle,
Northeastern Pennsylvania’s Law
Enforcement Supervisor for the
State Fish Commission. ‘However,
you are not allowed to drink to
excess.
“As you know,” Messerle added.
“It is commonly believed that alco-
hol is a major part of the recreation
scene. Drinking and recreation
seem to go hand-in-hand.”
According to Messerle, the Com-
monwealth has strenghtened its
drunk boating laws following the
1983 incident when four Luzerne
County residents were killed.
“If someone is DUI while boating
or under the influence of a con-
trolled substance and they kill
someone,” Messerle said. ‘They
will be charged with a felony of the
3rd degree.” The felony carries with
it a minimun $2,500 fine and a
maximum $15,000 fine and or a
seven year jail term. The felony
was not in affect in 1983.
“We (Pennsylvania Fish Commis-
sion) enforce all the laws of the
Commonwealth,”’ Messerle said.
“There is no doubt we are on the
lakes patrolling.”” Messerle said
Harveys Lake was monitored for
violators 30 times during the months
of June and July of this year.
“I do not think they (law enforce-
ment officials) will do anything
about alcohol on boats,” said 60-
year-old Megan Connel of Noxen.
“They always wait for something
serious to. happen before acting and
then they just let it die down and
people forget. If you want to make
the waters safe for all of us, then
pass a law that says if you have one
beer on a boat or twenty, you pay a
$1,000 fine.”
“I do not see how stopping people
from drinking will help at all,” said
24-year-old Carl Ligouri of Harveys
Lake. “If people want to drink they
will. They will just drink before
they take their boat out. And that
would mean that every boater on
the lake would have to be given a
sobriety test. That is stupid,” Lig-
ouri said.
Fees
(Continued from page 1)
negotiating with Mellon Bank of
Pittsburgh for loans to purchase
new equipment and to expand its
overall operation.
WSLA, said DER spokesman
Mark Carmon, has made ‘tremen-
dous improvements at the site”
partly after urging from DER and
also through its own management
decisions. Last Thursday, the WSLA
ran into trouble with DER when
their earth-moving equipment broke
down and they were unable to bury
the existing waste. Carmon said
DER inspectors would check the
site on Friday to insure the all
sanitation regulations are being fol-
lowed.
According to Carmon, the WSLA’s
current “tipping’’ fees for garbage
haulers are very reasonable when
compared with other landfill in the
state.
“The WSLA tipping fees are the
cheapest around,” Carmon said. “If
Philadelphia areas, they are charg-
ing almost double what the WSLA is
charging.”
Carmon also .said Mellon Bank
reportedly recommended to the
WSLA that they (WSLA) increase
their tipping fees as part of the
overall loan package. ‘‘They
(WSLA) have pretty much followed
‘Styles That Are In Style”
for
Juniors, Misses and Half Sizes
Cindy's
481 Church St.
Swoyersville, Pa. 18704
Hours
all the recommendations of Mellon
Bank,” said Carmon.
WSLA is comprised of 12 member
municipalities, mostly from the
west side of Wyoming Valley. There
are no member municipalities from
the Back Mountain area. All gar-
bage haulers from the Back Moun-
tain are independent collectors. The
Back Mountain garbage haulers
plan to boycott the WSLA if the
current fee increase is instituted.
They would then haul their garbage
to a landfill in Taylor, Pennsyl-
vania.
Approximately 90 percent of the
WSLA’s tipping fees come from
independent garbage haulers. Cur-
rently, over $125,000 is contributed
by the 12 member municipalities,
while nearly $900,000 is paid the
various independent haulers of the
West Side. The Back Mountain haul-
ers feel a boycott will put pressure
on the WSLA to curtail sudden
tipping fee increases.
WSLA, said Carmon, has a
number of years left in its usefull
life and DER has no current plans
to shut the operation down.
“They have quite a long life left,”
said Carmon. “The facility should
be around for number of years to
come.”
When asked is DER is planning
press time.

DEAR AUNT PATTY:
Last year I watched a neighbor
girl before and after school for her
mother who works. It was a real
inconvenience for me. My husband
did not like the intrusion early in
the morning. She only paid me a
few dollars each week which did not
even pay for the breakfasts she ate,
the: tissues she hoarded, and the
electric she used watching televi-
sion for two hours before school.
She had a different sitter during the
summer. I just assumed she would
continue with her for the fall. Last
week she asked me if I was ready
for the fall routine? I didn’t really
say anything because she caught
me off guard. What should I do?
SITTER UNSETTLED
DEAR SITTER:
Just be honest with your neighbor
and tell her you assumed she had
other plans. Tell her you do not
want to babysit for the coming
school year. Tell her as soon as
possible to allow her to make other
plans before the school bells ring.
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
My children like to play with play
dough. I understand there is a way
to make it at home in your own
kitchen. Do you think you could find
the recipe for me?
IN THE DOUGH
DEAR IN THE DOUGH:
I have a recipe I have been using
for years. It makes wonderful play
dough which is easy to knead, can
be colored to any shade, and lasts
almost idenfinitely. sometimes I
add a little extract to make it
scented.
PLAY DOUGH
Mix:
1c. flour
1 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
Add:
1 c. water
1 Tbsp. oil
Food coloring, if desired
Directions: Mix above together and
stir while cooking for 3 minutes or
until dough tickens and comes off
sides of the pan. Knead immedi-
ately and store in an air-tight con-
tainer.
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
I am a 14 year old girl with a
serious problem. I made a phone
call to a friend one day but I
mistakenly dialed the wrong
number. A nice sounding guy’s
voice answered the phone and we
started talking and getting to know
each other. We call each other back
and forth several times a week.
This has been going on for about
two months now.
We have a real nice friendship
developing. The problem is that now
he wants to meet me. I told him I
was 19 years old after he revealed
he is 22. I really do look 19 years old
and I feel I could get by with it if
my parents wouldn’t find out his
age. I received a picture of him and
he has one of me so he didn’t think
anything about it when he saw it.
I know of a lot of couples who
have many more than eight years
between them. It doesn’t bother me
at all. I don’t know if it would
bother my phone friend if he knew
or not. My parents have recently
allowed me to date without being in
a group. I would really like to go out
with this guy. What do you think?
14+
DEAR 14+:
I think you should forget about
meeting him. You admit that you
haven’t been truthful with him. Sup-
pose he hasn’t been truthful with
you? It is a lot easier to make-up
stories over the telephone than
when you're not talking face-to-face.
You are too young and inexperi-
enced to realize the danger involved
in dating someone so much older
and more experienced. If you were
over 21 the age difference would not
be as significant. Enjoy your youth,
Don’t invite trouble. If he is truly a
nice and understanding guy, he will
agree with me when you tell h im
your real age.
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
I am a lonely divorcee. I am
afraid to go out and meet someone.
It has been 16 years since I have
dated and that was only with my ex-
husband. I am an attractive blonde
with a good figure, good job and no
dependents. My biggest weak point
is that I am terribly shy. I blush
when any man even looks my way.
How am I ever going to meet
someone again? Everything I read
lately says men expect today’s
woman to be agressive. I'm not!
What should I do to improve
myself? I don’t want to be alone for
the rest of my life.
SHY ¢( LONELY
DEAR SHY AND LONELY:
I bet more men prefer shy over
agressive women, two-to-one. Put
on a smile, get involved in your
community, volunteer your serv-
ices, join clubs, and increase the
number of people you would nor-
mally meet. Be yourself and don’t
worry about what other women do
and others will naturally be
attracted to you.

FOR A WHILE it seemed that
summer’s swimming weather would
never come. But now Mother
Nature is really giving it to us. If
you like to swim, the past few days
have been great. Many folks have
been enjoying their own pools, but
in the Back Mountain we are fortun-
ate to have a number of pools to
join, the Country Club, Newberry’s,
Frances Slocum or Valley Swim and
Tennis. I’m sure all of them have
had a workout this week.

HAVING
BEEN A GIRL
SCOUT LEADER
for a number of
years I always
wondered why
the troop only
earned a nominal
amount on each
box of cookies
sold while council
seemed to
receive such a
large share.
This week I had
the opportunity to
see where all
the money goes. Our Cadette Troop
participated in Anything Goes at
Camp Louise on Jonestown Moun-
tain in Berwick.
The main campus facilities are
beautiful, with a large pool, great
eating and social hall, and other
lovely buildings. Camp Louise pro-
vides a great place for girl scouts to
go boating, learn crafts, swim and
dive, just have plain, old-fashioned
fun. Of course, no time at camp
would be complete without a camp-
fire and song fest.
No camping trip where you sleep
deep in the woods without the bene-
fit of electric lights is complete
without lots of “what’s that noise?”’
once the flashlights are turned off. I
must admit the girls in our troop,
Stacy Kyle, Laura Hayer, Michelle
Lankwarden, Debbie Davenport,
Lisa Davenport and Nicole Kings-
bury, were brave, as was our troop
leader Sally Davenport. But believe

IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED that
Nay Aug Zoo will take on a new,
improved appearance by 1988. The
zoo will be converted into a more
environmental display featuring
animals who are native to our area.
This is a nice idea. Zoos should be
educational and fun, but the ani-
mals should have a decent, pleasant
environment to live in.
