The supervisors instructed secretary Henry Zbiek to draft a letter stating their opposition to ‘such a plan in order to protect the safety of the township residents, which they will read and sign at the regular August 2 meeting. The supervisors also reported that the controversial $663,000 water line between the Ceasetown Reservoir and the prison isn't yet connected to the facility because of replacement of the bridge on Mizdail Road across Harveys Creek. The water line runs alongside the bridge, which was removed for replacement this past spring. Construction was delayed by the heavy spring rains and high water conditions. As soon as the bridge is fin- ished, the water line will be run alongside it and connected to the prison, the supervisors said. The supervisors announced that there is a vacancy on the municipal authority, which meets the second Monday of each month. Interested applicants may call township secretary Henry Zbiek at 675-8371.

The prints had been discovered in 1966 during excavation for a new state building, which un- earthed nearly 1,500 footprints in the bedrock. Later reburied for preservation, the site was desig- nated a Natural Landmark by the National Park Service. Asecond excavation ayear later exposed 500 more tracks, now protected and displayed for visi- tors under a large geodesic dome. “The hands-on displays were really great,” Betty Pack said. “They also had nature trails and different types of trees for visitors to enjoy.” “Dinosaur State Park was a surprise,” Phillip Pack said. “After having taught science forall these years, I never knew that it existed and was so close.” It's no wonder. When Pack first tried to get information on the park, it wasn't even listed with AAA. Phillip and Amy are really into dinosaurs; they have studied them in school, visited the animated dinosaur display at the Everhart Museum in Scranton and read about them. Phillip is currently reading a mystery story about dinosaurs andaboy lost in a cave, “Adventure in Forgotten Valley,” by Glyn Frewer. The children plan to set up a dinosaur display featuring their 10-1b. plaster footprints at the Back Mountain Memorial Library in August. In the fall, Amy and Phillip plan to use their footprints in school science projects. Although Phillip saw the movie Jurassic Park, Amy wasn't inter- ested. “Jurassic Park was great. I really liked the part where the T-Rex ate the goat and beat up on the car,” Phillip said. Dilophosaurus was featured in Jurassic Park, although Pack said that he believes that the mov- iemakers took a bit of artistic li- cense with the creature, which probably wasn't able to blind its prey by spitting venom at it, as was shown in the movie. The Packs said that Dinosaur State Park is an interesting, edu- cational, economical overnight trip for families with school-age chil- dren or youth groups. It's only about 45 minutes from Mystic Seaport and has many hotels and campgrounds located nearby. Pack advised people to leave early in the day to avoid traffic on Route 84, and to get to the park before 11 a.m., when the crowds arrive. Phone 675-5211 What did you'do on summer vacation?

Training is provided through the township and the Back Moun- tain Police Association and must be updated yearly. “I believe very strongly in edu- cation,” Moravec said. “You can never learn too much about your profession. I plan to continue my police training to improve myself as a police officer as much as possible.” As sergeant, Moravec will supervise the patrolmen, keep the department's records and be in charge of all investigations. “There's a lot more,” he said. “The sergeant's job description and policy book is a couple of inches thick.” Moravec's immediate goal as sergeant is “to continue Kingston Township Police Department's fine reputation of pride and profes- sionalism,” which he compares to the Marines’ espirit de corps. “Because it's a home rule community, Kingston Township has more explicit ordinances on just about everything, than the neighboring municipalities do,” Moravec said.
