Ny By JOHN F. KILDUFF Staff Writer After serving 21 days in the Luzerne County Prison’s ‘Women’s Detention Center for allegedly avoiding the Lake resident Gail A. Martin was released on her own recognisance Monday morning after a brief hearing before Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Bernard Brominski. Further hearings are expected as both councils voiced intent to seek a proper settlement of the case which stems from traffic violations beginning in June of 1984. Martin was escorted into courtroom number six by two Luzerne County Sheriff's department officers shortly before 10 a.m. Monday to defend herself against a litany of charges totaling over $2,000 in fines. Martin contended that she was ‘‘unlawfully incarcer- ated” in the Women’s Detention Center from Septem- ber 17 to October 7 based on what her legal council called ‘‘shoddy’” handling of a case going back 14 months and involving two area magistrates. The Commonwealth charged that Martin had driven an automobile in June and July of 1984 while under suspension from a Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) charge. Martin was also arrested by Dallas Township police NEDT tests scheduled The Dallas Senior High School will administer the National Educa- tional Development Test to tenth grade students who have registered and paid the $3.35 fee required to take these tests. Tests will be administered on Tuesday, Oct. 22, The NEDT is a testing program which helps professional educators, parents and students plan together for educational and -vocational future of the students. This program will show how well thestudents can apply their skills acquired since entering school. It will help to rec- ognize the strengths in each stu- dent’s educational development. At the same time it will pinpoint weak- nesses, therefore, enabling help while the student is still in school. The NEDT’s are especially valua- ble for students who are considering college in their future plans. Officers named The Executive Board of the Lehman-Jackson Elementary PTA met recently to fill two Officer vacancies. In accordance with PTA by-laws, Mrs. Sandra Traver was appointed as president and Mrs. Debbie Mas- kalis, treasurer of the organization. Both offices are for the balance of unexpired terms and will be in effect through the current school year. McDonald, pleted. on June 3, 1985 for driving without a license and was found guilty of the charge by District Justice Earl Gregory on September 5, 1985. A $1,000 fine was levied and Martin appealed Gregory’s decision to. Luzerne County Court. The $1,000 fine levied by Gregory accompanied by previous fines had Martin owing the Commonwealth over $2,000. Neither Martin nor the Luzerne County District Attorney’s office was given an opportunity to hear the case due to confusion over exactly what the defendant (Martin) was defending against. Judge Brominski ordered Martin released based on the fact that she was currently paying on the outstanding fines. A friend of the Martin family, Rich Meyers of Harveys Lake, said Martin will probably sue the Commonwealth for ‘‘unlawful incarceration’ relating to the outstanding fines based on Martin’s allegation that retired District Justice Leonard Harvey did not give her (Martin) a proper hearing back in July of 1984 Following her release, Martin said, “It really feels good to be out. Now, I do not have to worry about what might happen to me in prison.” The DA’s office is expected to look further into the case contending Martin still should finish her 90-day prison term for driving while under suspension relat- ing to a DUI charge.

On the PSAT-NMSQT, the junior students taking the test at Dallas Senior High School on October 19, at 8 a.m. can ‘preview’ the exam process for the SAT-the prerequi- site for many college-bound stu- dents, said Patricia Russin of the school guidance staff.

As preparation for the 100-minute, two-part test, students receive a Student Bulletin containing a sample test with an answer key and scoring instructions. After taking the actual test, stu- dents will receive a booklet, About Your PSAT-NMSQT Scores, a descriptive explanation of test results.
