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

Repeated attempts to reach the

Bellefonte office were unsuccess-
ful.
At the present time, portable
“Job Jonnies” restrooms are in
place behind the locked toilet fa-
cilities.

lets. “They seem awfully unsani-

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

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.

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.

Kingston prepared a facilities
study for the district in which they

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. If there
