Mother's Day—— (continued from page 1) in Back Mountain Baseball,” Deb- bie said. “I have children ranging from babies to some who are in kinder- garten in day care. I have 15 chil- dren but not all at one time during the day, usually six at one time. “I couldn't do it by myself. It is my family’s support and help that ‘makes it possible. The children and my husband Jack are a big help. They help me keep every- ‘thing under control. Everything “runs smoothly most of the time.” Debbie said she loves having ‘the foster children, but she is se- lective about those she takes. “They need somebody who does ‘care about them, who loves them and tries to teach them the things they should know and be able to do. The difficult part is when you have to give them up. "I have had foster children for six years. I love seeing them re- spond, their eyes light up and they finally realize that somebody cares,” Debbie said. “My children are getting older and I miss the little ones. “It’s easier to be a day care par- ‘ent than a 'Mom,' Debbie said. “I “can do a lot of things for the day care children that their mom does at home and I have a friend who “helps me out in the day care.” She said her children help by ‘doing everything - cooking, help- ing with the younger children, “helping in the house. She said they are a very close family and they all get together a lot. Her mother lives across the street and her brothers and sisters live close by. . “The children, including the foster children, love the special occasions when we all get together. They all have a wonderful time but without the support of my hus- band I couldn't do it all,” Debbie repeated. “The children are a spe- cial part of my life.” Her husband works for the ~ Kingston Township Road Depart- ment and he also coaches the Division II Yankees softball team. Debbie coached for awhile but took some time off. Next year she plans to be co-leader of a Cadette Girl Scout Troop. She is also treasurer of the Band Boosters and is active in the PTA. So, what are you planning for other's Day, we asked Debbie. “Nothing special, every day is Mother's Day,” she said smiling. In the Kaleta home there is little doubt Mother's Day will be a happy y one. Tw Making Grotto's Greater Above is the architect's rendering of the newest expansion of Grotto’s Pizza at Harveys Lake. Ground was broken at the site of the project last week as the owner, Joe Paglianite, and many others gathered for the event. Grotto’s Pizza has been at Harveys Lake for many years. However a fire in 1988 destroyed the restaurant. It took Paglianite 10 months to set up the restaurant that is currently at the lake. The new 12,000 square feet addition is expected to be completed in August. The work is being done by P&R builders, Plains Township. Police promote safety seats By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas Borough police will be on the lookout for young children who are correctly buckled up during the week of May 13, according to Chief John Fowler. “Our department is joining a statewide police effort to promote the use of seat belts and child safety seats,” Chief Fowler said. “Recent accident statistics show that too many children are being hurt in traffic accidents. Our offi- cers want to do something about making sure these youngsters are protected.” Governor Robert Casey has designated May 13-19 Pennsylva- nia Child Passenger Safety Week. During that week, officers patro- ling in Dallas Borough will record the license plate numbers of those cars with young children correctly buckled up. The numbers will then be sent to the Pennsylvania De- partment of Transportation who will identify the vehicle owners and issue citations from Pennsylvania Transportation Secretary Howard Yerusalim and state Police Com- missioner Ronald Sharpe. The ci- tations commend the families for correctly buckling up their young- sters. Lake wells (continued from page 1) great, he and his crew have al- ways taken time to help us out,” he added. Mann also said he wants an- other test done during a rainy period to check the runoff. He added that not all wells are in perfect order. Another test was done on the eight wells. This one tested the other bacteria in the wells. Three of the eight wells came back with a bacteria count higher than acceptable for drinking. Mann said that despite the results of the three wells things are still heading in the right direction because, “...the fecal coloform test was the more important test.” He also said that any resident of Harveys Lake who thinks his or her water system may be con- taminated can have their water tested. Mann said he will assist in having the test done and added that he would pay for the test himself.
