And because the company pumps “water to homes directly from the well. a power outage to the well's pump also stops walter service. +." Coyle said that a test well will be drilled early this month to deter- ‘mine if a new well can provide the ‘minimum of 50 gallons of water a minute needed to supply the cus- ‘tomers. If the well can produce -enough good water, a 20,000 gal- on storage tank will also be built on the site. Coyle said that be- cause the well is higher than the customers, they can be supplied with water by gravity, which will mean they will still have service even if there is a power outage. Because the Department of Environmental Resources would also have to issue a permit to use the well as a public water supply, Coyle was unsure of when the new well could go into service.

Cleanup (continued from page 1) Texas, where it will be recycled. Although the soil is being stored in a secure area until it can be re- moved, the siate Department of Environmental Resources wants the soil taken from the site as quickly as possible, so that rain- fall won't wash contaminants {rom itinto surrounding areas, he added. The Jackson Township Super- visors will hold a special meeting Monday, March 9, at 7 p.m., in the fire hall to discuss possbile fund- ing alternatives. If no state or fed- eral money is available, the super- visors said that the taxpayers will have to pay for the cleanup. The site had been purchased in February, 1988, by the township. Supervisors were unsure of who the former owners were, the age of the tanks and who had originally installed them. “Our contractor, R. N. Fitch and Sons, has hired a hydrologist to study the situation,” Stager said. “Fitch has told us that no gas or oil has spread to the wetlands on the property. The contractor plans to drill four wells to monitor the groundwater around the site.” The supervisors said that the contractor planned to begin re- moval of the contaminated dirt Tuesday, March 3. In other business, Supervisor Girl Scout Walter Glogowski suggested that a better way of submitting township bills for payment should be de- vised, so that supervisors have a better idea of how much money is being spent each month and how much money is in the township's account. Supervisors voted to set the speed limit on Weavertown Road at 25 mph; sections of the road are currently posted at 30 mph. Police Chief Don Jones reported that mandatory officer continuing education courses for 1992 will include CPR, criminal investiga- tion and firearms qualification. Luzerne County Road and Bridge Department notified the township that it has discontinued its road striping service and sent a list of available contractors who do this work. Joe Stager reported that no meetings have been set with Lehman Township to discuss combining the townships’ police forces because of scheduling prob- lems. “We're still pursuing the matter,” he said. The next work session will be held Monday, March 30, at 7 p.m. The next regular supervisors’ meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the fire hall.

The Girl Scout Challenge in- volved personal development and life skills and included reading, a written self-evaluation, stress- management strategies, a series of values-related activities, commu- nity volunteer service and working with other Girl Scout troops. Kelly exceeded the volunteer service requirements. Kelly's Gold Award project, which took more than four months to plan, will bring together more than 300 Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts in an inter- neighborhood event, an afternoon of games and learning activities centering on the theme of “Save Our Earth,” to be held Saturday, March 14, starting at 1 p.m. at the Lehman-Jackson Elementary School. “The girls will be grouped by age level, with each level doing ten different activities,” Kelly ex- plained. “All of the girls will learn how to make a fire, the best and worst types of wood to use and how to tend and put a fire out so that it doesn't cause problems.” Enlisting friends and their par- ents to help out, Kelly organized a series of environmental education and awareness activities for the girls, including making paper out of junk mail, learning about the ecology and importance of wet- lands, listening to environmentaily- oriented stories and songs and an unusual printmaking project-using a dead fish to make printed patterns on a bandanna. A representative from the Dal- las Area Municipal Authority will hand out pamphlets on recycling and items which can or cannot be recycled. All participants may earn a Save Our Earth patch lor their badge sashes. What are Kelly's future plans? “I would like to work in the airline industry,” she said. “And I hope some day to go full-time to college and major in either accounting or special education.” “You can't really understand what it means to live with a learn- ing disability if you don’t have one yourself,” Kelly continued. “Learn- ing disabled students don't need answers fed to them. They need to be guided and challenged to find the answers themselves. Having a learning disability doesn’t mean that we don't need to be chal- lenged.” Using the learning-disabled actor Tom Cruise as an example, Kelly concluded, “People have to realize that we're not stupid, that there's not something wrong with us! We are people, just like every- one else. Our brains just work a bit differently.” Dallas Area Fall Fair Board will meet March 5 The Dallas Area Fall Fair Board and Fair Committee members are urged to attend a special planning meeting Thursday, March 5, 8 p.m. at the Horse Shoe Building, Fair Grounds.
