DAVIS Post Staff The new state-wide underage drinking law may be challenged in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas as four Kingston Township juveniles have appealed their convictions for being on the same premises where underage drinking was occurring, which resulted in their loss of driving previleges. The juveniles are four of 39 Back Mountain teenagers who were ar- rested during a police raid of a private party in Trucksville July 29. Police said several juveniles were drinking alcohol at the party. All 39 juveniles were charged with “constructive possession.” The Women listed new law says that uveniles pres- ent at any party serving alcohol to underage drinkers can be arrested for underage drinking, even if the juvenile did not actually drink alcohol. Eleven of the juveniles were found not guilty. The 25 remaining juveniles were sentenced to com- munity service averaging 16 hours. All community service sentences will be fulfilled in Kingston Town- ship. The appeals, however, do not contest the “constructive posses- sion” clause of the new law. The appeals contest a clause in the law which permits the suspension of driver's licenses of juveniles ar- rested at underage drinking par- serious after collision in Jackson Twp. By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff Two women remain in serious condition Monday following a vio- lent, head-on colission on Chase Road indJ ackson Township Friday morning. Theresa Hutchins, 53, Hunlock Creek, was listed in critical condi- tion at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Kingston, Friday after the car she was driving struck a truck head- on at 10:45 a.m. Her condition was upgraded to serious Satur- day. A passenger in her car, Helen Casper, 79, Hunlock Creek, was taken to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital where she was listed in serious condition. Her condition remained serious Monday. The driver of the truck was Donald Smith, 26, Terrace Ave- nue, Shavertown. Smith escaped serious injuries in the mishap. Details of the accident are not available and Jackson Township Police are investigating. No charges had been filed as of Monday. Also responding to the scene were Lehman Township Police, State Police, Jackson Township Ambulance, Jackson Township Fire Department, Kingston Town- ship Ambulance, Dallas Ambu- lance, and Medic I. Abandoned mine is reclaimed Environmental Resources Sec- retary Arthur A. Davis has an- nounced completion of the West Wyoming abandoned mine recla- mation project in Kingston Town- ship, Luzerne County, at a total cost of more than $32,900. D.A. Kessler Construction Co. Inc. of Mt. Carmel, Northumber- land County, was the contractor on the project, which started in April. The one-acre project involved backfilling mine openings. The project was funded by a $35.3 million grant received from the federal office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement in 1988. DER's Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation manages the grants for the Commonwealth. ties, even if no cars or driving were involved in the arrest. All the juveniles found guilty will lose their driver's licenses for 90days and receive 5 points against their licenses. District Magistrate Earl Gregory handed down the rulings. The appeals were filed by Attor- ney Michael Butera and Attorney Larry Brand on behalf of the four juveniles, whose names are being withheld because they are minors. The appeals are expected to challange the newlaw, saying since no cars were involved in the party, suspension of licenses may be unwarranted. No date has been set for the appeals.
