The Dallas School District lost a well-loved and respected teacher August 8, when Santina Rose Argento was fatally injured in an automobile accident. Santina was a dedicated teacher in the District for 24 years touch- - ing so many lives during those two and a half decades, it's impossible to count them. A tribute to her talents was evident by the number of former students, teachers and parents who appeared at the fu- neral home to pay their final re- spects. We did not have the privilege of knowing Santina but those who did speak confidently about the impact she had on their lives. She went out of her way to have time to listen to her young students wor- ries and problems. Santina was more than their teacher, she was In appreciation = Santina Rose Argent their friend and her words of ad- vice followed many of them through their 12 years of public school and into their search for higher educa- tion in the career fields of their choice. Santina was a quiet, reserved individual but with a strong per- sonality that left an impact on those she came in contact with, whether students, teachers or parents. Santina Argento spent most of her years in the district in the Trucksville or Westmoreland Ele- mentary Schools, at one time as a Chapter I Reading Specialist ,but her first love was in the classroom, and she requested that she return to teaching the younger children. She loved the children and they in return loved her. She especially enjoyed second or third grade and teaching second grade at 0 made a difference Westmoreland. “Santina will be difficult to re- place,” said Superintendent Ger- ald Wycallis. “We can hire another teacher but to find an individual as dedicated and as well respected as Santina will not be easy. She was more than a teacher, she was a friend, a lady and a lady with a distinctive personality rarely found in today’s society.” Santina never lost her interest in education. She was creative in planning programs for her stu- dents and was adept at challeng- ing them in their work. Mourned by many, Santina’s spirit will live on forever in the memories of her former students, her fellow teachers and her abun- dance of friends. Her impact on others will continue forever. By CHARLOT M. DENMON Hanson's (continued from page 1) plex on the property. It is thought that the Hanson's want to build more than 100 townhouses on the property, which includes lakefront, boathouses and the former amuse- ment park property. Both the planning commission and some residents are concerned about the impact a large develop- ment would have on the borough. Commission members noted that many factors must be consid- ered before rezoning approval is given and they feel that many tests must be done to get information. “I have been here four months and haven't seen anything offi- cial,” said planning commission member Keith Harry. “I've seen a fancy map at an informal session ~ but nothing official has been shown to us that will answer our ques- tions,” he added. During Monday's meeting, a letter from the borough's Environ- mental Advisory Committee was read and it stated that an ad hoc committee had been formed to investigate the proposed rezoning. In the letter, the EVAC committee noted that issues of water supply, traffic, sewage, schools and lake utilization were researched. The letter also stated that “the overwhelming concern was the lack of hard data available to determine the environmental impact on Har- veys Lake. The data available did indicate serious concerns regard- ing the issues.” The letter also requested that studies be done regarding the environment before the zoning change is granted. After reading the letter the commission voted unanimously not to recommend to the borough Police report DALLAS BOROUGH CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT Patrolman William Norris on Aug. 11 charged Donald Shannon of Dallas for contempt in violation of the protection from abuse act in a domestic situation at the Shell Station in Dallas.

Harry said that once the infor- mation is received that recommen- dation could possibly be made. “We are not opposed to this, we just do not have enough informa- tion,” he said. “We are not doing this to cause hardship to the Hansons. Michael Thomas, of Quad-3 Group engineers which is han- dling the project for the Hansons, said that the tests will be done but they were hoping to have the re- zoning passed first. “It is our position that we can not test a commercial property,” said Thomas. “We will help the borough plan or do any studies but we first want a rezoning.” “We don’t want people to misin- terpret our request,” he said. “We don’t want to build anything with- out doing a number of impact studies. In fact our list (of studies) is larger than the county's list,” he added. Thomas noted that the for now the project is at a standstill while all the concerns are addressed.
