Driveways in See Water, pg 3 emergency calls on weekends and “holidays.” © Stone Hedge residents have received offers of support from Elmcrest and College Manor water consumers in the development’s rs to engage an attorney if fSressary. At the present time, Stone Hedge ‘residents are waiting to see if the company owners make good on promises made to them last Friday. General manager Salla confirmed ‘that the owners had discussed the water problems with Stone Hedge " ‘residents. He said owners Robert Hassold and Jean Eason talked with them about the company’s long range plans. The attitude of residents in gener areas of the community has been uncooperative, ’’ Salla said. “They continue to use water after . requested them to cut back. sy are still washing cars, filling pools, watering gardens, washing down 'driveways when all these have been restricted’ That water is needed to fill stor- age tanks and provide service to the entire community which is diffi- cult to do with one well down. We will keep a record of violators warned, and if there are continued violations by parties, we will dis- continue service to them.” Salla said the community has to warned of the problem and if y don’t follow the restriction warning it can be possible that service will be lost to the schools and to other sections of‘the commu- nity. There is a definite lack of Pi its attitudes. People have" consideration for other people in the community, according to the manager. The owners understand the frus- tration of people without waterin the community, according to Salla. Normal use of water is 400,000 to 410,000 gallons daily but Memorial Day weekend, use was up to 525,000 to 565,000 gallons daily. This came after the request for conservation of water. There were no breakdowns but a pump was out for a short time Monday which did not help. Stone Hedge had service beginning last ‘Thursday and every day since. Tanks are filling slowly but still are not adequate. No proper fire protection is possible so residents can’t be comfortable until storage tanks are filled and proper service and fire protection can be provided to all areas. Since the company’s reduid: | ‘for reduction in water usage, 30 per- cent of consumers have conserved, 70 percent have not, Salla said. The fact that Dallas can connect with Shavertown is a help and plans for the new well are on Salla’s desk. They will be delivered to DER for approval to start con- struction. DER will waive the normal 90-day approval to get water on line in two to two and a half months. The company claims it has put over $1,000,000 in improvements in Dallas and $700,- 000 in improvements in Shavertown during tPe past three years. “We are doing everything possi- ble to improve the systems,‘ Salla said. “The people must bear with us and follow our requests to reduce water usage. Township need permits The Kingston Township Board of Supervisors recently adopted an ordinance requiring a permit for all driveways in the Township which are to be connected to Township roadways. The new ordinance is not retroactive and will pertain only to new driveway construction. Residents wishing to resurface an existing driveway will, however, be required to obtain a permit. Permit fees will be $25.00 for new driveway construction and $10.00 for driveway resurfacing. A permit application must be completed by the property owner outlining, in detail the manner in which the driveway will be connected to a Township Road. The Board of Supervisors have prescribed two methods for connecting driveways to local roads and residents will be required to adhere to these meth- ods without exception. Driveway permit applications may be obtained from Mr. Ralph R. Anthony, Jr., Zoning Officer, during regular business hours. Road Superintendent Robert Chamberlain will oversee the con- nection of private driveways to Township roads to insure that resi- dents comply, with the new law. Under the Driveway Connection Ordinance, “residents failing to comply with the permit and con- struction requirements may be issued a citation and penalties could range from $25.00 to $300.00. The Driveway Connection Ordi- nance was necessitated due to the - large number of residents impro- perly connecting driveways to public streets, thereby creating a water drainage problem hazardous to the motoring public, as well as pedestrians.

Further “Early warning’ tests at Lake-Lehman find those needing remedial help Lake-Lehman Superintendent, Dr. Charles J. Borchetta, announces the results of the Test of Essential Learning Skills, formerly TELLS. Four hundred ninety-eight students from Lake-Lehman in grades 3, 5 and 8 took the test in March. These tests, designed to measure a stu- dent’s achievement in reading and mathematics, provide an ‘‘early warning system’ so that schools, pupils and parents can begin cor- rective procedures before it’s too late for effective remediation. The test results showed that among 166 third grade students who took the reading test, 84 per- cent exceeded the cut score of-38 correct answers out of 56 questions. For third grade mathematics, 96 percent exceeded the cut score of 39 correct answers out of 55 ques- tions.. Among 156 fifth grade stu- dents taking the reading test 81 percent exceeded the cut score of 41 out of 59 questions. For the fifth grade mathematics test, 85 percent exceeded the cut score of 44 correct answers of 65 questions. Among the 176 eighth grade students taking the reading test, 82 percent exceeded the cut score of 45 correct answers out of 67 questions. On the mathematics test, 81 percent of the eighth graders exceeded the cut score of 47 correct out of 71 ques- tions. In terms of actual students who must be remediated, the numbers are quite low, in that several of these students are already partici- pating in the federally funded (Chapter 1) remedial programs in reading and math. The actual num- bers (not percentages) of students who will be required to participate in remedial programs during the 1988-89 school year are as follows: 3rd Grade, Reading 10, Math 4; 5th Grade, Reading 12, Math 15; 8th Grade, Reading 14, Math 23.
