Concerns about the Sleepy
Hollow development water supply
have led the Kingston Township
Supervisors to delay action on the
development for another thirty
days.
At the September 9 meeting,
Township Solicitor BenjaminJones
requested the delay so the board
can further investigate the devel-
opment's proposed water hookup.
Jones said that the board will act
on the request by October 14.
“The extension was requested
in order to give the township time
to meet with the developer, and
representatives from the state
Department of Environmental
Resources and National Utilities,”
Jones said.
Jones said that if the a meeting

So back to school on September
14, will soon be adopted by
students in Dallas. The Dallas
School District decided to
participate in the nationwide
Adopt-a-School program at the
September 14 meeting. S

Curriculum and Instruction Gil

es will be sending school
and notes of
Miami/Dade County School
District. The army, Red Cross and
other groups are providing food,
shelter and clothing, according to
Griffiths.
The school year in Miami was
delayed when Hurricane Andrew
struck south Florida in late August.
“When the hurricane struck, we
felt that it was important to assist
our sister schools in Florida
because of assistance which the
K received during the Agnes
docilline: the township will have to
either approve or disapprove ac-
tion on the development. “If the
board does not approve the plan,
the developer can refile with the
township, but he goes back to
where he started,” Jones said
Sleepy Hollow developer William
Bauman of Hughestown agreed to
the delay, but was unavailable for
comment after the meeting.
What concerns the supervisors
is the formation of a private water
company for the development,
according to township manager
Jefferey Box.
“A water company cannot be
formed if the development is adja-
cent to an existing water com-
pany,” Box said.
Sleepy Hollow is a 41 lot devel-
opment next to Midway Manor off
of Howell Road.

the troops during Operation Desert
Storm,” Griffiths said.
The local school district
contacted the district in Miami over
Labor Day weekend and was placed
on a waiting list. Griffiths said that
as a schools reopens, a school on
the waiting list will adopt the
individual school.
“We should know which school
we will adopt by September 16 or
17”, Griffiths said.
Diamond Manufacturing of
Wyoming has offered to assist by
providing a truck, trailer and
drivers to take the items and
distribute them to the students in
Miami. The elementary school’s
parent teacher organization and
the middle school and high school
student councils have been
contacted according to Griffiths
“We are hoping to fill an entire
tractor trailer and use this project
as away to bring the school district
together while at the same time
helping another school district,”
Griffiths said.

In financial matters, the board

acceptadditional special education

Dr. Martin McMahon reported
that state subsidy payments of

Fair
(continued from page 1)
Luzerne County Fair Queen. For
Swire, it was worth the wait.
“I've been runner-up for the past
two years, so the third time is a
charm this year,” Swire said.
The rain and clouds left the area
late Thursday night giving fairgoers
a beautiful Autumn weekend to
enjoy.
“This year has been fabulous.
At 10 p.m. Saturday night, we had
a steady stream of people coming
in and out of the gates,” according
to Steve Lipka, a Lions Club
volunteer at the fair gates.
“This is one of the best years
that we've ever had” Lipka said
with enthusiasm.
And it was one of the best years
for the fair. Finance Chairperson
Lillian Piatt. said .that around
65,000 people attended the 1992
Luzerne County Fair. Piatt said
that this was about the same as
last year’s record.
According to organizers, the
weekend is important to the fair.
“If we have a good day today, we
will have a super fair,” Fair
chairman Ed Kelly said on Sunday
afternoon.
While on Sunday many of the
people said that they were visiting
the fair to see their daughters
participating in the fairy princess
contest there are other reasons
why people come to the fair.
“People are inquisitive and they
enjoy the fellowship and seeing the
people they see at the fair from
year to year,” Dick Williams, a fair
volunteer said.
Fair Grounds Chairperson Ray
Hillman said that 1992 was another
fantastic year for the fair and the
weekend was superb. “People are
impressed with the fair. Its clean
and family oriented
entertainment,” Hillman said.
And on Sunday afternoon, the
Fairy Princess competition
entertained the fairgoers. Fifty-six
girls ages two to 10 participated in
an event in which everyone was a
winner, according to Gina Major.
For the participants, performing
at the fair was a new experience.
“I was really nervous, but I
remembered that I've been in other
competitions and I just thought
about that,” Jennifer Dombroski
of Dallas said. The 10-year-old
Dombroski won the Junior
Princess competition, something
which she called exciting.
This was the first year for the
contest, and Sunday's family day
at the fair was the right day for the
contest.
“This was planned as a fun event
for the kids and everyone who came
and saw it,” Major said.
Body of man found

According to Kingston Township
