STILL LOCKED UP - After passing several completion dates, the news public restrooms at the Harveys - lake boat launch remain locked. (Photo by Scott A. Davis) Public restrooms at Harveys Lake boat launch still not open By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff ; Over a year after the Pennsylva- nia Fish Commission began build- ing public toilet facilities at Har- veys Lake, the restrooms still remain unopened. State law requires the Fish Commission to install permanent public toilets at Harveys Lake's Fish Commission Boat Launch. According to Harveys Lake councilman Richard Boice, the facilities were originally supposed to be opened by the beginning of the fishing season, but the date was postponed until May. Last Boice said he has been unable to find out why the restrooms have not been opened. “Ihave gone down to the facilities several times, and they have always been locked. I cannot even get in to see what is done,” Bioce said. Kerry Messerle, northeast re- gional supervisor of the Pennsyl- vania Fish Commission Law En- forcement Division, said he be- lieves the delay is because of un- finished plumbing and electrical work. “I believe we are waiting on the contractor,” he said. Messerle directed any further questioning to the commission's general office in Bellefonte. “We ' room facilities),” Repeated attempts to reach the he explained. Bellefonte office were unsuccess- ful. At the present time, portable “Job Jonnies” restrooms are in place behind the locked toilet fa- cilities. “I will not go in there,” said Kimberly Favor, 23, Hanorer Town) ship, pointing to the portable toi- lets. “They seem awfully unsani- tary.” Albert Hutchinson, 45, Shick- shinney, was fishing near the launch. “They're something to use,” he said about the portable bath- rooms. “It will be nice when the weekend, the restrooms were still | are the law enforcement division. new ones open, but for now these locked. + we have little to do with (the bath- will do. It's better than nothing.” Borchetta urges quick okay of high school renovations By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Superintendent Dr. Charles Borchetta told Lake-Lehman board members that if they wait until next year to begin the reno- vation project at the high school they will lose a year and the con- struction costs won't go down. At the work session last Tues- day Borchetta said if the members: decide to begin work within the next month on the estimated $2.5 million project at the high school, they might be able to accept bids by next winter and start construc- . tion in the spring. Washington, D.C. and for the past . The board members indicated an interest in having work done on the high school first, then renovating the Ross Elementary School and the junior high school. They also discussed the building of a middle school. Smith, Miller and Associates of Kingston prepared a facilities study for the district in which they stated the senior high school DELEUR'S 1) hg ASW needed extensive renovations to eliminate overcrowding. The reno- vations to the 27-year-old build- ing would include a new library, new music, physical education, home economics, biology, indus- trial arts, and other classrooms. ‘At a special meeting held May 31, a group of parents from Ross Township said they wanted Ross Elementary School renovated to become comparable to Lake-Noxen and Lehman-Jackson Elementary Schools and also wanted their students to attend fifth and sixth grades at Ross instead of being bussed to the other elementary schools in the district as they now are. Dr. Borchetta recommended that the board leave the Ross School as it is for the next three years. He also said he does not believe the school has enough room for the fifth and sixth grades and even if they did, there would not be enough students to initiate a major building program.
