ESTIMATE Accident (continued from page 1) Hanson also faces several counts of reckless or level will be available in six to eight weeks according Jr. Hanson was arraigned before District Justice Carmen Maffei of West Pittston and released on $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 6 at 10 a.m. before District Justice Earl Gregory. “Everything here was avoidable. It involves alco- hol, reckless operation and operating at too high : a rate of speed,” said Messerle. Two previous accidents claimed five lives, out of them in a 1983 collision of two boats. In that crash, Denis Abromavage of Pittston was driving a boat that smaller craft. In 1985, Kim Krasner of Harveys Lake was killed when his head struck a diving board as he drove his boat into a dock. In both cases, the operator was found to be legally drunk at the time of the accident. ” Officers 1 negligent operation of a watercraft and several sum- mary violations. Test results of Walter's blood alcohol to Luzerne County Coroner Dr. George E. Hudock, ran over a smaller boat, killing four passengers in the’ Unlike motorists, drivers of boats may drink alco- hol while operating their craft as long as they a are not legally intoxicated. “I sympathize with the other boy's family]” said Walter's father, Philip Walter, a Dallas Township supervisor. “They are suffering as much as we are and so is he.” “Both boys were having fun. It was an unfortunate accident.” The charge of homicide by watercraft while under the influence is a 3rd degree felony, punishable by a fine of $2,500 to $15,000, and up to 7 years in prison. Homicide by watercraft is punishable by a fine of $2,500 to $10,000 and up to 5 years in prison. The prosecuting officer is Waterways Coriserva- tion Officer David Corl, assisted by Waterways Con- servation Officer Sally Corl, and Deputy Conserva- tion Officers Paul and Diane Grimes, and’ Clyde Warner, and Assistant Harveys Lake Police’ Chief Ronald Spock. State Police from the Wyoming Barracks helped investicate the scene of the accident. A 51 (continued from page 1) boats and water-skiers, and are all in the territory covered by Neifert and the deputies, said Messerle. When Richard Walter slammed into a dock while water-skiing Saturday evening, there were two Conservation Officers patrolling. Assistant Harveys Lake Police Chief Ronald Spock would like to see two Conservation Officers on Harveys Lake for 16 hours each summer Saturday and Sunday. ~ “The Waterways Conservation Officers are very good people, “ said Spock. “They're doing a great job Yu the people they have. There's not enough of em.” “Our job is easier because we have lines on the road and we can see if they're weaving,” said Spock, who estimates he has stopped about 400 drunk drivers in the six years he has been a police officer at Harveys Lake. “Boats are always weaving. Since I've been here the boat traffic has increased about 200 percent and the boats are bigger and faster.” “We could have a roadblock operation, but at Harveys Lake that's difficult because the boats are already on the lake,” said Messerle. So far this year, three people, including Gregg Hanson, have been charged with boating under the influence. Last year, a total of five people were charged with boating under the influence at Harveys Lake, Messerle said. A proposed law from the Fish Commission which would ban water-skiing on the lake from noon to 4 p.m. on the weekends was rejected last year by Harveys Lake's Environmental Council, according to Councilman David Abod, who is chairman of the Environmental Council. “We felt it was too restrictive for people who can only use the lake on weekends,” said Abod. “We don't want to put up so many restrictions that it would hamper people's enjoyment.” “I feel that if they paid attention to the rules, we'd have a very safe lake. And we do. We didn't have any accidents this year until this,” said Abod, who knew both Hanson and Walter. “We do have a law that says they have to be 100 feet - from a dock and it was a case of they weren't paying : attention to it.” “If the Fish Commission want to propose some new regulations, we’'ll- keep an open mind and consider them,” said Abod. In the meantime, don’t hold your breath for the number of Conservation Officers to increase. To increase its total staff of 425 people, the Fish Commission would have to get permission frox®the state Office of Administration which has a cap on the number of people the Commission can employ, and then come up with the funds to pay the aciditipnal people. Besides law enforcement on waterways, he Fish Commission is in charge of stocking and breeding fish. For 12 Northeastern Pennsylvania counties, Messerle has 11 field officers and 47 dopuitis to patrol the water. Across the state, there are only 71 full-time Water Conservation Officers. “We don't get any tax money,” said Messerle. “The only money we get is fees related to Bshing and boating.” One of the sources of income, the boat registration fee, hasn't been increased since 1963. A boat less than 16 feet long costs $4 a year to register, larger boats are $6. The state's General Assembly may increase the ' Fish Commission's finances, which would help them to add staff members. On July 3, the House of Representatives pasg’ bill which wold increase power boat registr&ion feesto $10, $15, and $20 depending on the size of the boat. State Representatives Phyllis Mundy and deore - Hasay both voted in favor of the bill, which passed by 155 to 43 votes. The bill is now in the Senate's Fish and Game Committee. State Sen. Charles Lemmond is currently working on a six-bill water safety package of his own, which would also include an increase in boat registration fees, according to Lisa Baker, Lemmond's Ly assistant. — Tie DarasDost” : 309-415 Plaza, Dallas, PA 18612 Ld 675-5211 EMS ORY SYST 524-8808 PROBLEM WITH A STORY?
