Lake Borough Coucil has a “tough
job” in contending with people who
have built docks on land never
deeded to them.
“I do not envy their position at
this time,” said Dolloff. ‘However,
these people have built docks on
lakefront property and many of
them never had a legal deed for the
Said Dolloff, ‘‘Sure, many people
out here bought the lumber, the
nails: and paint and then built a
dock. They say it is their dock. And,
in a sense, they are right. The dock
itself is theirs, but the property the
dock sets on is not theirs.”
“Many fishermen and swimmers
do not realize this basic truth,”
Dolloff said. “One thing is for sure.
When we actually get to the people
who have built a dock on a piece of
land without a deed, the fur is going
to fly.”
In addition to public access areas,
CATCH members say they are
interested in building a community
recreation center for area residents.
CATCH currently has their eyes on
a vacant four-acre parcel of land
next to the PFC Boat Launch. The
land is owned by Pittston resident
Dr. Joseph Lombardo.
“I think a lot of our social prob-
lems stem from a lack of personal
achievement,” said Dolloff. ‘““Many
of our youth who are involved in
drugs, drinking and other things,
need a recreation center similar to
the one in Kingston where they can
interact with the community.”
Dolloff said he has talked with Dr.
Lombardo on the phone and that he
(Dolloff) voiced his hope that Dr.
Lombardo would see the need for a
community recreation center.
Dr. Lombardo reportedly has
plans of sub-dividing his land in
order to build a ‘‘horse-shoe’”’
shaped housing complex consisting
of eight homes. Lombardo after
repeated attempts, could not be
reached for comment.
‘““At this point, nobody really
knows what Dr. Lombardo is going
to do with the land,” Dolloff said.
“But we (CATCH) really hope he
can find within himself to think of
the ‘community. - This is America
and he (Lombardo) probably would
make a lot of money with the
housing complex,” Dolloff contin-
ued. ‘‘Again, we hope he can think
of the community.”
The CATCH Committee will con-
duct its first public meeting on
Thursday, October 17, at 8 p.m. at
Grotto Pizza, Sunset, Harveys Lake.
Debt
(Continued from page 1)
they continue to rely on the conscience of their elected
officials then a financial amagedon will occur.”
Dietrich explained to The Dallas Post, in general
terms, where each tax dollar comes from and where it
is spent on a yearly basis. The following figures are
from the Executive Office of the President, Office of
Management and Budget. ;
In fiscal 1984, the federal government spent over
$841.9 billion dollars while only taking in from various
taxes and duties a total of $666.5 billion. This meant
that for 1984 the United States was $175.3 billion in
debt. As a nation, the United States is nearly $2 trillion
in debt, which according to OMB figures, means that
each American citizen owes the federal government as
part of their tax liability over $7,000, or$28,000 for a
family of four.
Where does our tax dollar come from? The largest
single amount of each tax dollar comes from individ-
ual income taxes. In 1984, American workers paid over
$296.0 billion in income tax to Uncle Sam, or 35
percent of each tax dollar.
The next largest amount came from the Social
Security Tax of a worker’s paycheck. Over $240 billion
was collected or 29 percent of each tax dollar. A total
of 15 percent of the tax dollar was collected from
corporations, excise taxes and other custom duties and
Directors
(Continued from page 1)
The third largest and final amount of each tax dollar
sent to Washington comes from Uncle Sam borrowing
money to pay its debts. The amount is estimated to be
$170 billion in 1984. The above figures, said Dietrich,
constitutes Uncle Sam’s yearly income.
But how does the government spend all this money,
you might ask. Generally speaking, the $841.8 billion in
1984 was spent as follows.
Twenty eight percent of each tax dollar went to
Social Security and Medicare payments, or $235.8
billion. The second highest amount, 27 percent, went to
the Pentagon in the tune of $227.4 billion. An addition
$285 billion went to hundreds of programs ranging
from energy research and development to transporta-
tion subsidies.
The third largest amount of the budget, 13 percent,
is used to pay the interest on Uncle Sam’s overdue
bills. Nearly $120 billion was spent just to interest and
Dietrich said this amount is staggering.
“When we talk about interest on the national debt,”
said Dietrich, ‘“We are talking about everyone getting
hurt. For instance, just on the interest of our national
debt, each American is paying an average of $700 a
year which does not buy a single thing. That $700 is
merely a carrying charge and buys absolutely noth-
ing.”
Revisions to the district’s policies
on homework, promotion and reten-
tion, and attendance, including
home education were approved by
the directors.
Dr. David M. Preston, district
superintendnet, explained that the
changes were compiled by a task
force of faculty members, then
new policies put the district in line
with state guidelines.
Director Bing Wolfe said he
believed the new policy on home
education is too tough and voted
against all of the changes because
of that. :
The superintendent explained that
the home-education policy requires
that students taught at home by
their parents meet the same
requirements as other students and
that their instructor be as qualified
as the district’s teachers.
The district’s pre-school program
for parents and their children has
been expanded this year. The pro-
grams for four-year-olds and their
parents are held monthly in each of
the district's elementary schools
and the hour and a half programs
include play time, story time, and
discussion on various topics .
