DENMON Staff Writer EB . lege Drama School will be in the shut out Barbara Kocher of RD 2, Dallas, has a group of Mexican boys and . girls, ages 12 to 16, waiting impa- tiently to hear that they willbe able tovisit families in the United States for eight weeks during the period from July 7 through August 25. . Mrs..Kocher is the local repre- ® sentative for the Intercambio Inter- ¥ nacional exchange program started by The Rev. Father Placid, who still directs the program, which is ac- credited by the international spon- soring association. “I'm concerned that the boys and girls expecting to come to the United States are going to be dis- appointed,” said Mrs. Kocher. “I have appealed to a number of families to host some of these chil- dren but to date I have not heard from any of them. “Unlike many of the exchange programs, the children do not need to have their own room. If possible, the directors of the program prefer that they room with children of the host family so the students of Mexican nationality are able to L) learn the English language. These + students have their own medical ) insurance and their own spending money. “The only thing request of the host families is that they provide normal meals that they would for their own children, and to help the child adapt as a member of the family, living a normal American life. There is no need to plan long trips but only the regular recrea- tional trips of the host family. The program also prefers, if possible, to place children of comparable ages to those in the host family.” Mrs. Kocher explained that the children come from homes of pro- fessionals such as teachers, law- yers, architects and doctors, and , are carefully screened. “Last year there were a number of children who could not visit the United States because no one wanted to take them into their homes for only eight weeks,” Mrs. Kocher said. “I sincerely hope someone will call me at 675-5470 during the day, or at 477-3591 evenings to offer to host one of these young boys or girls for the short stay in our area.” If additional information is de- sired by anyone in the local area, it can be obtained by calling the central office at 1-800-437-4170.

Outhouses (continued from page 1) Place a year ago, he and the au- thority have put a lot of time and money into investigating the prob- lem. “We have had to put between $10-15 thousand into this,” said Boice. He noted that the sewer author- ity has used a tv camera to check the main line in Warden Place. They have also gone door-to-door in that area to do dye tests, and now they are checking out-houses. Boice feels that even though there is still some contamination, most of the problem has been taken care of. “There is still some con- tamination in the soil, and until it all flushes out with rain we will still get some contamination,” he said. The expected confrontation between the sewer authority and residents of Hemlock Gardens section of the borough never mate- rialized at the sewer authority meeting. Earlier this month, resi- dents of the Hemlock Gardens approached the Borough Council in an attempt to have something done about the cost of installing a sewer line in that area. The resi- dents told the council that they have many concerns dealing with the project and their concerns are not being addressed by the sewer authority. , After many complaints to the council members, the citizens were told to attend the meeting of the sewer authority and voice their objections. The council had told the citizens that any questions they had would be answered at the meeting. However, no citizens showed up to question the author- ity. Boice did say that the project in Hemlock Gardens is almost 90 percent completed, and he expects it to be finished within the next week. “Things are rolling along up there,” said Boice. “The contractor has not really run into too many delays and it looks like things will be completed soon.” Boice said that he felt the con- tractor will finish the job within the price set and he did not feel the fee that will be charged to the homeowners will exceed the $14.75 per foot that was first quoted. The price was one concern the residents had remarked about since the project began. By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer Since some wells in the War- den Place section of Harveys Lake became contaminated last sum- mer, many residents of the bor- ough have become alarmed at changes in their water, but the sewer manager says that there is nothing to panic about. “It is spotty around the lake,” says Sewer Manager Rick Boice. “We have a few people who have problems, but for the most part everything is okay.” Boice says that the situation at Warden Place has really put some people on edge when it comes to sewers and water. “Ifa person thinks his water is con- taminated, then he immediately thinks one of his neighbors is not connected to the sewer line and is responsible for contami- nation.” Boice said that there are many variables that could contribute to some contamination getting into a system. Sewer manager cautions against overreaction He said that contamination has been found in wells that are not very deep below the surface. “With these wells, you are basi- cally getting surface water,” said Boice. “We haven't found con- tamination in wells that are a couple of hundred feet deep.” Boice also said that the posi- tion of the lid casing for the wells can determine if contamination will reach the system. “Some of the casings are underground and that can cause it to rust. If it rusts, then every time there is a rainfall contaminants can wash right into the water system,” said Boice. Boice added that there are other ways contamination could reach a well and he urged resi- dents with questions to contact him at the sewer authority of- fice. Boice also said that most of the water in the borough is fine and that it will stay that way if residents use common sense when dealing with the sewer and water systems.
