(Post photo/Grace R. Dove) Comm Center budget survives HL pullout By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff The Back Mountain Communi- cations Center will weather Har- veys Lake's pullout better than expected. The Communications Center board passed a revised budget at a special meeting Monday, Novem- ber 25. Harveys Lake will leave the Communications Center as of May, 1992, having giving the required six months notice. Even though Harveys Lake will pay only $10,755 for five months of service in 1992 instead of $25,811, the Communications Center budget will be nearly what it was anticipated to be before Harveys Lake dropped out. The total budget will be $170,515, instead of the $172,071 anticipated before Harveys Lake's pullout. “The key to this is the carryover balance is really good,” said Jef- frey Box, who prepares the cen- ter's budgets. Box said that while the Communications Center could carry over a balance of $30,000 to $35,000, he had conservatively estimated a $15,000 carryover into 1992. Contributions from the other member municipalities and fire and ambulance associations will re- main the same. Nine area fire and ambulance companies will pay $1,500. Kingston and Dallas townships will contribute $31,145, Dallas - Borough will contribute $25,811, and Jackson and Lehman town- ships will contribute $10,497. Nesbitt Memorial Hospital will contribute $20,293. The budget will allow the cen- ter's board to hire a fourth full- time dispatcher as they originally intended to do. The one change in the budget is a reduction in a capital fund from $5,000 to $3,444. The fund is being established so the center will have money needed to main- tain and replace equipment. The Center's expenses for 1993 also will be easier to meet because the loan taken out to pay for the center's original equipment will be paid off halfway through that year, requiring $8,000 to be budgeted instead of $16,000. Dallas Twp. taxes will stay the same By GRACE R. DOVE Post staff Taxes won't change in Dallas Township if the proposed budget is adopted after the required 30 day waiting period. At its November 19 meeting, the Dallas Township Board of Super- visors approved a 1992 prelimi- nary budget of $1,081,000. Total expenditures are expected to in- crease only by $1,766 over last year, mostly due to employee sala- ries, while the six-mill property tax is not expected to change.

Broussard, chairman of the History and Political Science De- partments at Lebanon Valley College, formed Citizens Against Higher Taxes, an organization that calls itselfa watchdog for Penn- sylvania taxpayers. The public is invited to the meeting. Students (continued from page 1) sponsor a talk by Dr. James Broussard on Wednesday, December Af We simply tell the student that we have found that he or she is exhib- iting certain behavior and that we feel that a problem might exist. “We suggest alternatives, such as counseling or referral to various community agencies whomight be able to help. But we cannot force anyone to go for counseling,” she added. Once the student and his family learn of their options, it is their decision whether or not to pursue them. At this point, the CARE team’s involvement ends. If a student and his family de- cline assistance, the CARE team does not further involve itself. But if the student and family ask for help, they are referred to the agen- | cies which will best meet their contacted to decide exactly what type of counseling or therapy is appropriate. According to Roberts, the CARE team has spent the first months of the school year designing the pro- gram and hopes to begin opera- tions during the second semester. When CARE is ready to begin, all junior high school teachers: will have in-service training to famil- iarize them with what it can’'and cannot accomplish. Students will also learn in a school-wide presen- tation that there is now some- where to go for help. “In the past, students ofte to us asking for help and w know where to go with the prob- lem,” concluded Ms. Lockman. “Now we have the resources to put n't them in touch with the services needs. It is up to the agency that they need.” : EEE EEE A ———— | Help your child say “No” to drugs and alcohol steps to help your child say “No” to alcohol or drugs. 1.
