EN \ i) 6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 23, 1993 Noise {continued from page 1) Breeze, where “you can hear every word." | Marion Attonasio, who lives six ‘houses away from the amphithea- iter, said that music kept her husband awake until 12:45 a.m. Monday, June 21. He had four ‘hours of sleep before going towork. “Idon’'t know if it's coming from ‘the bar or the amphitheater,” she said. “Last summer during one concert, I had to turn my TV up ‘because the music from outside ‘was so loud. We could feel the ~~ drums pounding on the couch.” Lestate Productions president Norman Tarantino, who arranges Susiice for live acts to perform at the dance hall, said that he hadn't heard of any noise problems. “I've been out there on the property and have not found the sound to be loud or obtrusive,” Tarantino said. “It's a nice, well behaved atmosphere. I think that some people are trying to make problems where none exist. The mayor was out there and he said that he didn't see any problem with it.” Tarantino said that Thom Greco owns the amphitheater, Tijuana Barand Harveys Lake Beach Club, but has nothing to do with the (continued from page 1) of his business. He further testified that Mrs. McRoy refused to give her name when he asked her and continued to shout obscenities at police. Leedock said that he filed the charges of simple assault and endangerment of children against Mrs. McRoy because he felt that the slap could have caused injury to the little girl. He arrested her for disorderly conduct because he felt that she “disrupted the graduation cere- mony.” * Under cross-examination by Attorney Kisailus, Leedock said that the little girl had not required medical attention after having been slapped. An investigation by Children ind Youth Services concluded that the charge of endangerment of ~ childrenwas “unfounded” because the child had not been in any physical danger, Leedock testi- fied. .. The child was returned to the custody of her father, Leedock said. ~~. Two other witnesses, Lake- E behman High School guidance oh counselor Florence Finn and math teacher Rosanne Ragnacci, testi- fied that they had also seen and heard the incident as Leedock described it. A third witness, Lake-Lehman High School home economics teacher Jeris Baranowski, testi- fied that she had been late to graduation and had seen only the arrest. Mrs. Baranowski said that she didn't actually see Mrs. McRoy slap the child. In his concluding remarks, Kisailus said, “We may disagree with how parents discipline their children, but that doesn't lead to infractions of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.” In reference to Mrs. McRoy's language in her verbal exchanges with police, he said that using the prebamiy does not necessarily rise to the level of a criminal offense. Through cross-examination of Mrs. Finn, he had earlier estab- lished that similar language has frequently been heard in the halls of Lake-Lehman High School. After the hearing, Kasailus said, “I personally and professionally abhor any kind of violence toward adjoining dance hall, which is managed and promoted by Les- tate Productions. Ms. Perez said that concerts at the amphitheater also caused parking problems on her street, where 24 children live on one block. “People park wherever they can, not in the amphitheater's lot. I don't think that an ambulance or fire truck could get through if they were needed,” she said. She said that her neighbors have seen people using their yards as a shortcut to the amphithea- ter, and worse. One man relieved himselfin front of three little girls, Ms. Perez said. After having circulated the petition and trying to get others to speak out against the noise prob- lem, Ms. Perez is now throwing in the towel. No one else wants to come forward, she said. “Let the people of Harveys Lake carry this. I give up,” she said. “I don't want to be the Joan of Arc for Harveys Lake. The council never acted on my petition. I did my job — now the citizens will have to decide for themselves at the polls in November.” POST PHOTOK CONSULTATION - Mrs. Ann McRoy, center, flanked by her husband and daughter, speak with her attorney, Clement Kisailus, in the parking lot after her preliminary hearing before District Magistrate Earl Gregory Thursday, June 17. children or anyone. I feel that Mrs. McRoy’s conduct did not rise to the level of criminal conduct. Although we hope that people will conduct themselves civilly at a graduation ceremony, Mrs. McRoy told police, albeit in a distasteful manner, that her disciplining of her child was none of their busi- ness.” Kasailus said that he will dis- cuss Mrs. McRoy's having been left alone on the front steps of the magistrate’s office in Freeland with his client to determine “if any of her civil rights have been violated and to possibly redress any griev- ances.” “We only transport suspects one way,” Leedock responded. “Once they're released, that's it. Our insurance won't let us trans- port suspects both ways." Lightning (continued from page 1) Firefighters on the scene were unable to fight the small fire at Mountainside Manor until UGI confirmed that the 13,000-voltline was dead, Besecker said. “We were lucky - the building is made of cinder block and didn't catch fire,” he said. “If it had been a wood-frame building, it would have been a different story.” Off-duty UGI lineman Larry Lettie, checking the nearby Little League field, volunteered to help when he saw the problem, bor- rowing the radio from an Asplundh Tree Service bucket truck parked at the former Dallas Township High School to call the utility for help. “I'm off today, but I guess I'm working,” he joked, while giving information and road directions to UGI's system operator. The home's 48 residents stayed in the lower wing for approxi- mately two hours, until 5 p.m., when Chief Besecker told the staff that it was safe for them to go back, Ms. Eddy said. “We have monthly drills, so all the residents know the routine,” she said. “Although some of them were apprehensive, everyone remained calm. I'm very proud of them.” Power was restored to the home around 7 p.m., Ms. Eddy said. No estimates of damage were avail- able at presstime.
