"But Kryzwicki will not begin until after he has completed the man- dated Act 120 training which does ot begin until March 26. After his | training is successfully completed, he will become a member of the department, a position which he must hold for at least two years.

Ninth grade teachers moving up with the stu- dents were John Baur, John Johnson, Ron Rybak, George Dombek and John Bancala. High School principal Frank Galicki comment- ing on the move said: “The transition has been smooth to date because of the patience of both the - students and the staff. It has been a major adjust- - ment for both. The teachers traditionally assigned to senior high have welcomed the freshmen and their teachers into the school. I am glad that the transition has been so successful.” John Johnson, who teaches ninth grade govern- ment (civics), said the only problem is lack of be nicer. pleted. “There are five teachers moved up but there will be only four additional rooms, so not everyone will have a homeroom. It’s a nuisance carrying all your books and papers and pushing it around. Overall, I like it up here. There's a more subdued atmos- phere, due to the older students.” Ron Rybak, science teacher agreed. “It is hectic now because we have no permanent rooms. I have lab courses in seven different rooms. Once the building is completed and everyihing settled it will “The kids are settled but kids usually do adjust quickly to new or different situations.” The general consensus of opinion is that the move will continue to run smoothly, especially when all construction on the senior high is com- \ Park (continued from page 1) Poplaski also said that the Back Mountain Area Soccer club has ‘approached the board about help- ing with the soccer fields. He said that talks are continuing, and added they will talk with other groups as long as it is known that both sides will have to put work and money into the projects. Two members of the Back ountain Wrestling Club attended @ ‘the meeting and asked the board if it would be possible for the club to build a small building for a prac- tice area on a the land. The board could not give a definite answer but was optimistic about the pos- p sibility. Jackson Township supervisor Thomas Adams spoke in favor of the proposal. “I think its a fantas- tic idea,” said Adams. “This is something that the Back Moun- tain and residents of Jackson Township are involved in and the building could also be used for something else when the wrestling club isn’t using it.” One area of property that was also discussed at the meeting was a section of wetlands. Poplaski said the recreation commission is learn- ing how to handle wetlands and said that some of the proposals have had to be altered because of them. Adams praised the board for its work with the wetlands and said, “These wetlands are a pain, but if The Bridal Cottage Brides, Maids & Mothers Proms & Accessories Bridal Consultant 1169 Wyoming Ave. Forty Fort, PA 18704 or Dal 11-5 pin. = Mon. & Thum.

Denmon) Harveys Lake moving forward on light near Lake-Noxen school By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer The Harveys Lake Borough Council is continuing its attempt to have a flashing light installed near the Lake-Noxen Elementary School. The board voted unanimously last month to purchase the light and have it installed in front of the school. On Monday morning, coun- cilman Joseph Sgarlat met with officials of the state Department of Transportation to see what kind of light could be installed. After that meeting, Sgarlat said he was pleased with the way things seemed to be moving and he is hoping that a light and signs will be in place soon. Sgarlat’s optimism was a vast contrast to his attitude at last week's meeting of the Harveys Lake Borough Council where he and other board members vented their frustrations over problems that they were having in getting the light. Sgarlat said that he wanted to install a blinking light that could be turned on by a switch near the school. “That way it could be used when school is not in session,” said Sgarlat. “The ball fields and Indian Corn - Corn Stalks - Cabbage - - Garden Mums \_ 2 i) Darling Farms and Greenhouses Large selection of Pumpkins - Gourds Cauliflower - Potatoes | 1/2 Mile off Rt. 309 on Hildebrant Road Across from Dallas Elementary School J designed to fit your needs at Gas Fired Cast-Iron FREE ESTIMATES - CALL TODAY!

Maybe we should tell them our kids our ducks,” he added. However, after Monday's meet- ing Sgarlat said that PennDOT officials explained that to do what Sgarlat wanted at the school there would have to be two sets of blink- ing lights installed in the area: one set at the school and the other set near the ball fields and playground. “My object is to protect the kids as much as we can during the extracurricular activities,” said Sgarlat. “It is when they are at the ball fields and the playground that they are crossing the roads and riding their bikes and the danger of an accident is increased.” The proposal for the light will again come before the council next month. The estimated cost was $3,500. The board is hoping that the Lake-Lehman School District and possibly the state will help with some of the cost. \ Shuttle Bug Weaving Custom Designs by Deborah Karr Vaida Placemats & Table Runners ¢ Scarves * Table Cloths * Shawls Rugs * Capes * Bedspreads Jackets & Coats * Curtains Women's Suits Tapestries » Weaving Lessons Order Your Christmas Placemats & Table Runners Now!
