Within minutes Choman organ- ized five or six of the approximately 30 people at the beach to form a line and walk through the shallow area of the water searching for the child. “I was looking under the docks and couldn't find him,” said Cho- man. “Finally, somebody spotted him.” Choman estimated that it took about three minutes to find the child. The child was found near the ladder at the deep end of the dock, in about five and a half feet of water. When the boy was first pulled from the water, Choman couldn't find a pulse, or detect breathing. “I checked the vital signs one more time and he had a pulse,” said Choman. “Then he vomited. Then I knew he was going to be all right. He was breathing, his eyes opened, and he started to cry.” Choman'’s friend, Kurt Zwiebel, 16, of Wilkes-Barre, called 911 and the medic unit from Nesbitt Hospital's Back Mountain Medical Center and Harveys Lake Ambu- lance arrived at the scene. The boy, Daniel Finley of Sec- ond Street, Harveys Lake, was taken to Nesbitt Memorial Hospi- tal. He was admitted in stable condition Monday, and discharged Tuesday. Choman said he became a life- guard two years ago by taking Red Cross sponsored courses in CPR, water safety, and first aid, at the YMCA. * Police (continued from page 1) - cers.

Residents fear risks at abandoned house: By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff Children are jumping out of an abandoned three-story concrete boathouse into Lake Silkworth - sometimes from the third story. Joseph Sheruda fears that one of these days a child is going to hit rock bottom, especially now that the level of the lake is about 16 inches less than normal because of the dry weather conditions. “We're getting real concerned that we're going to take a body out of there,” said Sheruda, vice presi- dent of the Lake Silkworth Protec- tive Association, at the supervi- sors meeting on Aug. 20. “The kid that happens to, it will be their first time down,” said Supervisor David Sutton. “The kids who go there all the time, they won't get hurt.” According to Supervisor Paul Goodwin, the boathouse /residence was started about a dozen years Paglianite says condos \ 0, PM 2, iv. “s ago without any zoning Spplice: tion having been filed, and néver finished. It was repossessed bythe bank and has been sold several times since. At the time of ‘the meeting the supervisors were unsure who currently owns the property. Goodwin and Supervisor David Sutton said they would investigate ways to make the building inac- cessible to kids, but they didn't want the township to end up in possession of the property. * “It can be torn down, but it would cost big, big bucks,” said Goodwin of the fortress-like boat-| house. “As soon as you hit it with a wrecking ball, the rubble would fall into the lake and the Fish Commission would cite you for contaminating the lake.” Township solicitor Peter Savage and the supervisors said they will investigate passing an ordinance requiring residents to keep aban- doned buildings inaccessible. ; ; [4 » are at least a year awav By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff Joe Paglianite, the owner of Grotto's Pizza, would like to build townhouses on the land adjacent to the marina which he owns. Though he’s leveling the land now, construction is atleast ayear away. And that assumes that the proj- ect would be okayed by the bor- ough, not to mention the state's Department of Environmental Resources if wetlands will be ef- fected by the construction plans. No plans have been presented to the borough yet. “Once you get the plan, then you present it to the zoning board,” said Paglianite. “I don’t have any- thing to present yet. I'd like to see them overlooking the marina area.” He said he would like to build 20 to 25 townhouses, and avoid the public outcry which arose when Shirley Hanson proposed building 166 townhouses at Hanson's Amusement Park. He'd cluster the townhouses in groups of abotit six, with space in between them. “This is all premature,” said Paglianite. “Everyone got a little excited. They see me cleaving land and they think I'm going to build something tomorrow.” * “What I'm doing now is prepar- ing the land, grading and filling it.” Paglianite hasn't made plans yet for the businesses which rent space from him in the area. Jim Drury, who leases half ofa building near the marina, said a = | letter was delivered to him telling him that he had to vacate the shop by November 30 of this year. Drury said he has a lease until February 1995, and sent the eviction letter to his lawyer. But Paglianite says that Drury surrendered his lease to him a year ago. Diane Hendershott, who oper- ates a beauty parlor, Diane's Lake Side Creations, in half of ar er building on Paglianite’s lana he Thursday that all she knew about the townhouse idea was what she read in a daily newspaper. | Correction ; 4 Due to a reporter's error, a speaker at a Kingston Township supervisor's meeting was sige, tified in the August 21 issue gl Dallas Post.
