Water commission asks more response to survey By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Back Mountain residents have begun to respond to the Back Mountain Water Commission's request to complete and return to the commission the survey cou- pons which have appeared in local newspapers. James Ward, commission chair- man, said the members are pleased with the returns but he urges all citizens to continue to watch for the coupon in the papers or in their monthly phone bills and then complete and return them to the water commission. “We must have the cooperation of all Back Mountain residents if we are going to be successful in resolving all water crises,” Ward said. : Ellie Rodda, liaison between the Commission and the Back Moun- tain Citizens’ Council, told the members that Jack Thomas of the C-TEC Company said that Com- monwealth would insert the sur- vey coupon in the monthly tele- phone bills. He explained that these bills would go out over a month's time and the sooner the company received the coupons the better for the water commission's project. Members of the commission approved a motion that the secre- tary obtain prices for printing the coupons. Ward announced that the Luzerne County Planning Commis- sion had scheduled a series of Landfill Siting Community Forums throughout Luzerne County. The Planning Commission sent a list of requirements and restric- tions for land sites and Ward ex- plained that the Back Mountain comes under the restricted area for landfill sites since all of the water supply in the area is ground water. The commission members approved a motion to send a state- ment to the Planning Commission to this effect. The members alsodiscussed the problem of the water supply at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas but agreed that it is a sub- ject which needs to be discussed among the state legislators, SCID officials and the Jackson Town- ship Committee of Concerned Citi- zens unless one of the parties seeks assistance from the commission. Dallas Borough representative to the commission John Molski told members that the new Dallas Water Company pump is on line, the tank is filled and the water is being purified. The commission received two letters from residents protesting the quality of water in the Back Mountain during the past year. In answer to several questions about the source of the Back Mountain water supply, Ward explained that the water is in beds of rocks and the water in this area comes from the fractures in the rock. He also explained that if a well is drilled on or close to a fracture, one gets a good well. If not, the driller must try again. The next meeting of the com- mission will be February 2, 8 p.m., at the Kingston Township Munici- pal Building, at which time the commission hopes that Dallas- Shavertown Water Company manager Mike Coyle will attend. sally mustos 927 Wyoming Ave., West Pittston 655-3215 SALLY shows her appreciation for your year round loyalty in a way you'll appreciate most . .

Jones served as president of the board in 1984 and 1985 and has been chairman of building and grounds and athletics and activi- ties committees during most of his tenure. He is proud of the accomplish- ments of the board during the past eight years including the additon of a full-time kindergarten. The students of that 1981-82 program showed a positive change in read- ing and math scores, according to Jones. He cited other accomplishments such as a computer literacy pro- gram introduced to sixth grade, AP courses which continue to flour- ish today, the National Science Teacher Award for Excellence pre- sented to Katherine Gregory in earth space science and other awards won by teachers of the district. During Jones first year as presi- dent the district started Project Excellence and the same year the district received accreditation from the Middle States Accreditation Association. Lake-Lehman went through renovation programs in the senior high, junior high and Ross Elementary andthe district's long range programs of 1982 and Richardson believes that there should be at leasi three full-time salaried directors on the school board. 1987 were approved by the De- partment of Education. “We were the first district in the area to have a successful “Here's Looking At You” drug and alcohol abuse program,” Jones said. “Our athletic programs have made each sport competitive with other schools in the conference but our teachers emphasize to their stu- dents that athletics get you some- thing but education keeps you going,” Jones continued. “The highlight of being chair- man of activities was when Gina Major, graduate of Lake-Lehman became Miss Pennsylvania and our high school band was invited to participate in the Miss America Pageant at Atlantic City. Tthe band was selected as number one. The following year the band was in- vited again to participate in the parade but not as a competitor.” Jones stated that the renova- tions approved by the board have Lake (continued from page 1) stated that a regular collection would begin Monday morning starting at the Outlet and going around the lake to the picnic grounds; Tuesday beginning at the picnic grounds and around the lake to the Outlet. In other business, council ap- proved the purchase of a new po- lice cruiser from the Bureau of Purchases /Coopeérative Purchas- ing, Harrisburg. The cruiser should arrive in about three months. Council members also approved 1989 tax ordinances including the occupational privilege tax and earned income tax but the bor-' ough did not raise local taxes for 1989. The Council alsoannounced the approval of a $50,000 grant to restore the Keifer Plot in the bor- ough. Stanley Sims, Harveys Lake resident and a senior at Lake- Lehman High School was presented with a plaque by the council for his Several dogs reported stolen: © Sheldon Segal, owner of the Mr. Petman store in Edwardsville, has reported a string of dog thefts in the Back Mountain. Segal called The Post Monday night to say that in the past 10 days, five dogs that he had sold to owners in the area have been taken; four in Harveys Lake and one in Dallas. Segal said he has also noticed an increase in thefts in other ar- eas, but not to the extent that has occurred here. He said that usu- ally his owners report one theft ‘selection to the Associated Press Small School All-State Football Team. Sims, a linebacker on this season's football team, is the first Harveys Lake Borough resident to achieve such honors. Mayor Joseph Boyle told Sims that the council and the entire community was very proud of him and his accomplishment. There has been much discussion about closing or keeping open the public beach. The outcome of the vote in May will not be binding on | council's decision but will help them make a decision on the issue. Harveys Lake residents now pay $65 annually for garbage collec- tion. Kelly also announced that Christmas trees will be picked up by the street department for the next two weeks. Council members also voted to place a question on the p ballot in May, asking residents if they want to pay for the installa- tion of bathrooms at Sunset Beach. every three or four months. Three of the dogs taken were Siberian Huskies, one was a Do- berman and one a Dalmation. Anyone with information about these incidents should call their local police.

The board members are intelligent, articulate and free of politics. Dr. John Presper did an outstanding job as president and new president Marc Elgaway ap- pears to be just as effective,” Jones explained. “Recently approved policies are proving to be effective, particularly therecent attendance policy which I believe goes beyond just having the students in school because reports we are receiving from the faculty indicate the students aca- demic progress has improved. In Joseph 'Red’ Jones my opinion, it's one of the best moves we have ever made regard- ing attendance.” In the future, Jones top priority is an equitable tax structure for all residents of the district, continued excellence in education and con- tinued maintenance of the district’s five buildings.
