| 10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 17, 1992 Lake-Lehman taxpayers >*fer cost-saving steps By GRACE R. DOVE | Post Staff Mrs. Pat Gold, spokesperson for the Lake-Lehman Taxpayers As- sociation, presented the school board with a list of cost-saving | suggestions at its regular meeting Thursday, June 18. The Taxpay- | ers’ Association says that these | measures will cut 10-12 mills from the district's original budget with- | out the need to levy the controver- | sial 10% amusement tax. ~~ The suggested measures, with | projected savings, include: » Reduce the current $150 per student cost of all co-curricular. activities to $100 per student, saving $115,000. * Eliminate all unnecessary staff trips, seminars, conferences, etc., saving $10,000-$20,000. * Reduce the operating fund balance by 15%, saving $30,000. * Eliminate the positions of truant officer (duties to be assumed by the high school vice principal) and curriculum coordinator (du- ties to be divided among the super- intendent and the building princi- pals), saving $45,000.

If we can't manage ~ what we have already, it is ridicu- lous for us to try to take on any- ~ thing new.” . © ¢ Michelle Boice: “The am- ~ phitealer has the same potential to | bring quality shows to the Back | Mountain that the Kirby Center | has downtown. I don't think it's [air to tax it.” | + Damien Kaye, co-owner of | Damien's Restaurant: “Although the very visible homes on Lakeside | Drive are very expensive, up in the | hills live veterans, single mothers and older people who depend on | Harveys Lake businesses for their | liveliehood. An amusement tax could harm these businesses. What has this school board invested in Harveys Lake that gives them the moral right to take from us?” e Guy Giordano, who started Sunset Marine: “Why do some Harveys Lake residents pay high school taxes and still send their children to private schools? Why don't these children attend Lake- Lehman? We should check on the quality of education in our dis- trict.” e Ruth Eaton, co-owner of Damien's Restaurant: “The school board is trying to take away any chance of our businesses succeed- ing. No one has this right.” e Frank Lasoda, owner of the Marina Cafe: “I think that we should hire an efficiency expert and get rid of the dead wood in the district.” After the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m., Harveys Lake Bor- ough Council president Rich Boice commented, | hope that the school board rescinds the tax so that business will be encouraged in the district, not chased away.” Kingston Twp. building plan gets first approval | By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff The Kingston Township super- | visors granted preliminary plan approval to the Hillbrook Farms | subdivision at their meeting June 10. : | The approval for the subdivi- sion, located along Schooley Hill | Road and Ondish Road, was granted, provided the subdivision meets township storm water run- | off regulations and is approved by | the Department of Environmental | Resources. Thirty-one lots are planned for the subdivision, with an average lot size of 4 1/2 acres on a total of 133 acres of land zoned agricul- tural. No new roads are called for in the subdivision, but Ondish Road, now unpaved, would be paved. The property, formerly the Schooley Farm, is owned by the Hillbrook Farms Corporation, formed by Dr. William Burak of Hollow Road, Kingston Township, and Leonard Romanowski, of Hill- top Drive, Kingston Township. The homes would be connected to the sewers, but would have individual wells. % a new musical comedy Music By Ted Anderson Book & Lyrics By Kevin Costley June 26, 27, 28 and July 9, 10, 11 Dinner/Show - $2500 Show-Only - $12% For Reservations Call: (717) 283-2195 At The Music Box Dinner Playhouse 196-Hughes St., Swoyersville, PA VISA® \ iE ial * Freeze all administrative sala- ries for one year as contracts be- come due, saving $10,000. * Require teachers living out- side the district whose children attend school at Lake-Lehman and were enrolled before 1990-91 to pay tuition for their schooling, generating $70,000 in income for 1992-93. » Impose a 1% non-resident tax on all employees living outside the district, generating approximately $40,000 in income. According to Mrs. Gold, this tax would affect 60% of the teachers and 80% of the administrators. Using these figures, Mrs. Gold estimates that the district would save between 10 and 12 mills, or $330,000. The taxpayers’ association also urged the board to: * Freeze all professional staff hirings and use actual student enrollments, not projected figures, to determine future staff needs. * Reduce the teaching staff through attrition by not replacing teachers who retire or resign. * Institute no new programs for 1992-93, including the pre-first grade. sales at the dance hall. his good concerts.” Savage wishes Greco well Lake-Lehman School District solicitor Peter Savage and'music promoter Thom Greco publicly buried the hatchet at the school board's regular meeting Thursday, June 11. “Erroneous statements about me have been made in the media and I would like to correct them,” Savage said. “I've spent my life at Harveys Lake and fondly remember all the activity during the summer. I welcome Mr. Greco's enterprise. am pleased with all the careful arrangements that he has made and the reasonable manner in the timing of the concerts. Savage, who lives a mile away from Hanson's, detailed his com- plaints which he said have now been resolved, against last sum- mer's loud music which he said went on sometimes until 1 or 2 a.m. After contacting Mrs. Shirley Hanson and the Harveys Lake Borough Council, Savage contacted the Liquor Control Board, since the noise from the dance hall was associated with alcohol “My problem with Hanson's is not what is happening now,” Sav- age said. “I hope that all of Mr. Greco's concerts are as successful as the first one was. I would like to publicly thank Mr. Greco for Old pub (continued from page 1) businesses could also be destroyed. Police have found evidence of illegal occupancy and possible drug activity in the boarded-up build- ing on several occasions. Photo- graphs of this evidence have been filed with court documents at the county courthouse. For several years, Dallas Bor- ough firefighters have been under standing orders not to enter the building if a fire breaks out be- cause they could endanger their own lives. All firefighting efforts would be concentrated on saving adjoining structures. But there isn’t enough money in Dallas Borough's budget to raze the dilapidated structure. Demoli- tion costs have been estimated at between $35,000 and $50,000.

But do you know what happens in between? To many of us, drycleaning is a mystery. The word drycleaning is a misnomer. Drycleaning is the use of fluids to remove soil and stains from fabric that water cannot do alone. It is called "drycleaning" because the fluid contains little or no water and does not penetrate the fibers as water does. To keep your clothes looking their best, beware of some of these myths about drycleaning. + Myth: Frequent cleaning can wear out clothes. In fact, the opposite is true.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. The alcohol in hair spray can help remove some ink stains, but beware, it can often remove dyes leaving an even more unsightly area. « Myth: Club soda is the universal stain remover. Not true. Club soda can cause problems for silks and rayons that are sensitive to water. If you have a question about a particular stain, ask your IFI member professional drycleaner. Store Hours The normal cornea is perfectly curved and helps the eye to focus perfectly. A somewhat rare kind of deformity distorts thiscurvature, so that the surface of the cornea, instead of being round, becomes cone-shaped and irregular. Thisis called conical cornca, or keratoconus. Before the days of contact lenses, people with keratoconus suffered from poor vision which became gradually and increasingly so distorted that even with glasses they could perform only the crudest tasks. Worse still, this ailment often struck young adults who found their jobs or their careers interrupted at a critical time in Dr. Curtis Goodwin Optometrist IRREGULAR CORNEA their lives. Today, people with this problem are more fortunate. Miraculously, use of a contact lens can restore good vision to those suffering from thiscondition. The irregular surface of the eye canbe "paved over” with aperfectly curved contactlens. This allows the image passing into the eye to remain sharp and clear.
