NL | 3 Deer (continued from page 1) The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Tuesday, November 21, 1989 3 | Sherlinski said that weather conditions play a big factor in the annual harvest. “Snow makes hunting deer bet- ter, it's easier to track the deer. If the weather is ideal, Monday and Tuesday are the two biggest days to get the deer and the two Satur- days are also big harvest days. “Even if a hunter gets his buck, | he can assist the rest of his party in driving but he cannot carry a gun,” Sherlinski explained. “We can get an estimated kill for the first day or first two days by the officers contacting the deputies in the field but the count for those first two days is only approximate.” Albino deer are not unusual, neither are does having twins unusual but only in extreme cases does a doe have triplets, according to Sherlinski. If a hunter gets a deer, he must tag it and the tag must stay on the head until after processing. Deer hunters must get out of the woods before dark, approxi- mately 4:30 to 4:40 p.m. Sherlinski a!so explained that the increased number of deer on the highways this time of year is not unusual. He said it is common that small game hunters frighten the deer out of their usual cover so they start moving, looking for bet- ter cover to hide. In addition the mating season begins in Septem- ber and lasts until late January, with breeding activity reaching its peak in mid-November.

"They determined there is no way to find the source," according to Carmon. "In order to take cor- rective action, you must be able to find the source and eliminate it," he said. DER has recommended to the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority that they run a public water sup- ply into the affected area around Warden Place. Carmon pointed out that DER doesn't normally regu- late private wells. "Unless we dug the entire moun- tain out, homeowners will have to obtain treatment systems for their own wells," Carmon commented. Many residents have already installed ultraviolet filter systems for their water, at a cost of about $1,000 each.

Denmon) Faculty member Wayne Hughes leads recycling effort at high school By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Some Dallas High School stu- dents are finding that taking care of the environment can pay off. Led by faculty member Wayne Hughes, they have turned re- cycled material into profits to be used to finance their activities. Hughes says he became in- terested in recycling for com- munities about five years ago but has been doing it personally for the last 10 years. “I became really serious about public recycling simultaneously with Dr. Thomas Winter at Penn State’s Lehman Campus,” Hughes said. “Our class started recycling aluminum cans as a money making project about three years ago and earned enough that year to pay for our rafting trip down the Lehigh River.” At the end of the last school year, Hughes discussed a recy- cling program at the school with Principal Frank Galicki, who was interested. So this year Hughes started the program. He made a presentation of the project to the board of directors and they were very interested in it. “It's a lot of work but it's paying off,” Hughes said. “The students who are working with me realize they are doing some- thing to improve the environ- ment. We started the program in September and in one month we saved over 600 pounds of paper. The price of paper fluctu- ates sowe're not sure how much we'll get for it until we take it down, which will be sometime this month,” Hughes said. The lack of space in landfills and reluctance on the part of the municipal government to have landfills in or near the community has made recycling a serious topic of discussion among residents and commu- nity officials. Hughes, who teaches chem- istry and Environmental Science -I and II at Dallas Senior High School, has a degree in agricul- tural chemistry and a Master's degree in natural science. He has been teaching at Dal- las since 1972 and has always been interested in environmental science. He started environ- mental science classes in Dallas in 1975. Conservation and ecol- ogy has been two of the most popular electives with the stu- dents since Hughes started the classes. Hughes and his crew of stu- dents also recycle glass, alumi- num and metal. They sort the glass by color and also sort the paper by color and quality. Hughes explained that glossy magazine paper is not recyclable. “I use Bielecki in Wilkes- Barre,” Hughes explained, “Because I find him the best man with whom to work.” Hughes has a crew of stu- dents who go to the classrooms and pick up the paper then they sort it by color and type. The group has pickup spots in all of the district's buildings includ- ing the administration building. They have boxes in every class- room and office for the paper. In home economics rooms, they save the glass, metal, aluminum and paper. The students and Hughes sort the paper every day and sort the glass when they take it to the dealer. “It's difficult to estimate the amount but I figure it will save the school district several hundred dollars in trash fees as well as several hundred dollars from the items turned in, which can be used for program pur- poses for the district. “The program is expanding and we are getting more coop- eration in saving the paper," Hughes said. If the public wants informa- tion on recycling, Hughes says he has an abundant supply of literature and if persons are inter- ested they may contact him or call the Hot Line 1-800-346- 4242. “People can become environ- mental shoppers,” Hughes ex- plained, “By learning the 5-R’s - Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle, Reject and Repair. It’s easy to get into the habit.” Use of large firm is onhe recycing option By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff Turning pickup, recycling and disposal of garbage over to one large firm was an option discussed at a meeting of the Solid Waste Recycling Committee of the Back Mountain Citizens Council(BMCC) October 30. The committee called together local officials and recycling experts to discuss one of two options being considered to meet a state-man- dated recycling deadline in two Back Mountain communities. The meeting, at Penn State's Hayfield House, was held to dis- cuss an option for municipalities to contract with Mid-Atlantic Re- cycling and Distribution Center, Dunmore for curbside collection of recyclables in the Back Mountain. Mid-Atlantic Recycling is a divi- sion of Waste Management Inc. Patrick Lavelle, plant manager of Mid-Atlantic Recycling, said the company would be willing to for- mulate a recycling contract to fit the desires of the municipalities. “For example the entire operation, both collection of recyclables and of garbage, could be contracted to Waste Management,” explained committee co-chairman Tom Win- ter. “Alternatively, only the collec- tion of recyclables could be con- tracted.” Although local garbage collec- tors have protested the possibility of contracting with a large collec- tion company, specifically men- tioning Waste Management Inc., Winter said Lavelle felt the former option would be “more cost effec- tive since Waste Management owns landfills and since there would be more incentive to reduce the gar- bage if one company processed both recyclables and garbage." A third alternative Lavelle of- fered the group was for Waste Management to act as a market for recyclables collected by the mu- nicipalities or private haulers. Kingston Township Manager Jeffrey Box called the idea of con- tracting with Mid-Atlantic a “vi- able alternative” Friday. Box said the township's concern is that if the municipalities try to construct recycling programs themselves, there will be an increase in the need for manpower and equipment in the township. This would be an expensive project for a municipal- ity. “We want to explore contract- ing,” Box said. “We want todo what is best relative to long-term costs. Box said Kingston Township will remain cautious and explore all possible options before making a decision. “I want to gather more and more information on recy- cling.” Box said he has been to every meeting held by BMCC and will continue to attend the meetings because they offer “ a good forum to exchange ideas.” The next meeting will be held December 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Penn State, Lehman Campus in Room H-105. The speakers will be Ar- mand Fiorini, Lackawanna County recycling plant supervisor, and Joyce Hatala, Lackawanna County recycling coordinator. They will describe a large, 125-ton per day recycling plant being planned for Lackawanna County. There is a possibility of a second shift of workers being put on there to proc- ess recyclables from Luzerne County municipalities. Among those who attended the October meeting were BMCC members Ben Phillips, Margaret Bakker, Stephan Zneimer, Selma and Joan Schooley. Zneimer, Others in attendance were Herbert Hill, Kingston Township supervi- sor; Frank Wagner, Dallas Town- ship supervisor; Edward Kelley, Harveys Lake Borough; Frank | Chadwick, Luzerne County recy- cling coordinator; Rick Allan, manager of Allan Industries; and Box. Boyle wins coin toss for mayor By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff By the toss of a coin, Democrat Joseph Boyle will remain the mayor of Harveys Lake Borough, defeat- ing challenger Republican William Purcell. Boyle's victory completed a sweep of the borough council by the Democrats. The election for mayor ended in a tie two weeks ago, as did a re- count of the vote.” According to Harveys Lake election laws, any tie must be decided by either the toss of a coin or by cutting a book. The candidates had their choice of which method to use. The candidates met at the Luzerne County Court House at 10 a.m. Friday and chose to use a coin toss. Boyle called tails as the coin was flippped, and tails came up, making him the winner. Boyle will serve his second term as mayor, this time with an all- Democratic council. Other council members who won this year’s elec- tion were incumbents Richard Boice, Edward Kelley, and William Wilson. A newcomer to the council is Joseph Miscavage who defeated Republican incumbent Boyd Bar- ber.
