Some years ago, Mrs. T.M.B. Hicks and William Moss came up with the idea of inviting all profes- sional men to contribute a ham to be auctioned off over the block. This proved to be not very practi- cal because there was not enough refrigeration to store all the hams, so they solved the problem by asking for a check in the amount of $10 or more in lieu of hams. This proved to be so successful that other area residents were included in the request to become members in the select group of people supporting the library. Newcomers to our area, as well as the old-timers of the Back Moun- tain are invited each year to con- tribute to the Ham ‘n Yegg Club, however, in 1983, the amount of $10 was increased to $25 to cover increasing expenses. Back Mountain Memorial Li- brary Auction Ham ‘n Yegg con- tributors as of June 10 for the 1989 auction have donated $1,650 and they are: Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander, Joan Ansilio, Mr. and Mrs. William Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Al Baloga, Mr. and Mrs. Anees Barakat, Louis Berger, Justin Bergman, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bevevino, Alice Borthwick, Mr. and Mrs. William Bradbury, Dr. and Mrs. Michael Bucan, Mr. and Mrs. PLANNING 'NIGHT AT THE RACES’ Edward Carey, Robert L.

Lake-Lehman (continued from page 1) reserve account for educational facility renovation, addition or new construction and the other two mills or $58,400 is to be placed in the budgetry reserve account for unforeseen expenses. It appears that $25 to $30,000 will be needed to support special education serv- ices that the LIU #18 can no longer provide due to recent changes in Pennsylvania Department of Edu- cation rules and regulations. These require that local school districts must pick up the expenses for certain services to handicapped children. The directors also approved by a 6-1 vote a motion to notify the Pennsylvania Department of Edu- cation, Division of Physical Plant and Construction, of their intent to pursue additions and altera- tions to the existing senior high school. Robert Emery voted against the motion. Dr. Borchetta in his report strongly urged the approval of the motion, stating that since the high school's construction in 1962, there have been many mandates and changes in curriculum that affected the use of spaces or the kind of spaces needed to house programs. He mentioned addi- tonal space to house computer science courses, advanced place- ment courses, handicapped pro- grams, gifted programs, remedial math and remedial reading pro- grams and new course offerings. Borchetta explained that there are classes scheduled in the cafe- teria, the library and the audito- rium, with these spaces occupied RIG a aVE]!

DENMON Staff Writer Members of the Back Mountain Water Commission met Thursday, June 15, at the Kingston Town- ship Municipal Building and dis- cussed plans for compiling the returns the commission has re- ceived from the recent survey of Back Mountain water consumers. Consultant Chuck Waite is assisting them in setting up charts showing the results. The compila- tion will not be done until the commission receives information from DER and several other water commissions as to the correct type of computer software to use. The members alsodiscussed the agreement on the water conditions made between Stone Hedge resi- dents and the Dallas Water Com- pany by the state Public Utilities Commission last year. The PUC was to arrive at a final determination on the water com- pany’s report by June 19, but has postponed it until a later date, which has not been announced. It's Auction Time again, this marks our 43rd year. This is my third time as chairman and as in the past I still need YOUR support to make this as large a success as last year. We grossed over $75,000.00 in '88 and I would like to gross $90,000.00 this year. In order to achieve this goal we have added a few things. One of which is the first annual Back Mountain Memorial Library Horse Show to be held at the Fall Fair Grounds on June 25th. This will be our kick-off affair this year. The show will feature English riding and jumping classes from 8:00 a.m. till dusk. The show chairman is Kathy Shaskas, and she has done a great job in getting 10 divisions sponsored. The Rotary is going to do the refreshments at both the show and the auction, so you know the food will be great. A large thank you to Jim: Cocolin for his support as my food chairman. The antiques are chaired by Ernie Ashbridge and, as any who have been to our auctions in the past know, Ernie will have nothing but quality items. Of course, Mrs. Crump and Bill Frederick will be in the book booth. Our ever popular odds and ends will be stocked to overflowing by Mary and Sybil and the Kiwanis women. Kathy Shaskas is also chairing the Children's activities with Anne Heffernan and they have procured a MOON WALK for the children. They will also have pick a number games for large and small. Carol Erickson will chair the baked goods booth. Carol, along with the teachers and federated women gave us a few extra calories but they were worth it for the library. : We are going to have a 50/50 raffle this year instead of a car. We are going to sell 2,000 tickets at $5.00 a ticket. First prize will be $2,500.00, second $1,250.00 and so on down thru five (5) places, the drawing for this will be on Sunday night, the 9th of July. At this time I should mention that the Fourth falls on Tuesday; and, as is customary, the Library Auction will be the weekend following; July 5th thru the 9th. Hours will be the same as last year: Wednesday 6-10, Thursday 6-10, Friday 6-11:30, Saturday 3-11:30 and Sunday 3-closing. The new goods promise to be bigger and better than ever before. My co-chairman, Dr. Durelle Scott, and his wife, Connie, have taken over this enviable chairmanship. They have been busy stocking the new goods shelves with plenty of items. We are also planning or our usual vendors, Hillside ice cream and Rice's funnel cakes and lemons There are also plans for private local merchants to rent tent space to add more of a festive Fourth of July party. Finally, since this is my last year, I want to thank all the volunteers who go nameless for their hours of service, without their time none of this would be possible. I also want to thank Nancy Kozemchak, who is my publicity chairman, her contribution is never ending and never finished. In closing, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to run this great auction, and THANK YOU for your generous support. LET'S MAKE THIS YEAR ONE TO BE REMEMBERED.
