Cleary was presented with a gavel, a base to his gavel and an inscribed nameplate by superintendent Wycallis, while ~ Stitzer was presented with an inscribed nameplate by board member Ellen Nagy. Earlier this year, while refi- nancing a 1991 bond issue, the district received a surplus of more than $350,000. The money must be spent on capital improvements and must be spent by 1995. In voting to spend nearly $80,000 of the money, the board voted to: ~ eo Purchase 15 computers for the advanced math classes at the senior high school. A Whitecat System, which can network the new computers with the ones already in existence in the dis- trict, will be part of the package which will cost approximately $40,000. * Purchase new scoreboards for the senior high school football field and the Middle School gym- ~ nasium. The scoreboard at the football field has been the recipi- ent of weekly repairs, while the middle school scoreboards are in terrible shape. Wyecallis said the cost of the three scoreboards should be about $14,000. * Replace a set of doors in the Westmoreland Elementary School. The doors, which have been damaged by rust and set- tling, will cost approximately $8,000 to replace. e Repair the bleachers in the middle school and high school gymnasiums. The bleachers are more than 20 years old and are considered a safety risk. Cost of the reapirs will be approximately $7,500 per set. School board director Ernest Ashbridge, while in favor of the purchase of the computers, felt the board should wait and explore all avenues of possible improve- ments before spending the money and, therefore voted against the motion. The board unanimously voted to accept the salary schedule for 1993-94. The agreement between the district and the Education Association was reached on April 5, 1993. While a copy of the salary schedules were not avail- able, copies of the professional salaries will be on file in Wycallis's office. In other matters. The Dallas Citizens’ Advisory Committee is looking for potential .members. With recent resigna- tions, including the resignations of members Maureen Banks and Joseph Kunec, who were elected to the school board last week as many as 10 openings are avail- able. Anyone intersted in serving on the committee should send a letter of interest to: Dallas Citi- zens’ Advisory Committee, P.O. Box 2000, Dallas, PA 18612.

Full-time police officers will receive between four and six per- cent raises next year.

With the proposed four-mill tax increase, projected real estate taxes, if collected at their [ace value, will total $142,880, raising the average homeowner's munici- pal real estate tax bill to $105.13.

Even the rare prank calls can be a sort of test, Bealla said. “Maybe a child will call several times in a row, just to see if we're really there,” he said. “Then they'll get up the nerve to open up with a volunteer.” Phone Friend averages 350 calls a year, operating between 3 and 6 p.m. on school days only. Working with the cooperation of the Lake-Lehman and Dallas school districts, Phone Friend has also served young callers from Wyoming Valley. Misericordia freshmen Sue Hayik, Stephanie Cipriani and Cindy Reed, and junior Tina Bennett recently attended a train- ing session before taking their turn as Phone Friends. “Ils a good idea for the commu- nity, especially with families where both parents work,” said Bennett, a psychology major from Wil- liamsport. “I love to work with children.” Hayik, an occupational ther- apy major [rom Douglassville, said that she had worked on a similar projectat her home church, mostly with little children. “It's a good idea,” she said. “I like working with children,” said Cipriani, an English and secondary education major from Stroudsburg. “My Mom worked and sometimes I was home alone for' a while. I would have appreci- ated a service like this.” Reed, an occupational therapy major from Thompsontown, said that she became interested be- cause “it sounded like fun.” Her home church had operated a drop-in program for latchkey kids, but she wasn't able to help out because she participated in after-school sports during high school. Flyers and stickers with the Phone Friend's logo have been distributed to Back Mountain schools and are available either individually or for group distribu- tion. Interested persons may call the church office between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at 675-0122 or 675- 7525. Children don't need to register to use the servece, Bealla said.

Wayne Smith said that he had offered his services for [ree to Kelly ‘and at least two other council members. “I have 27 years of experience in construction, all the Liquid Fuels maps and all the engineer's drainage maps,” he said. When council members said that Smith had been fired from the road crew, Smith called it “a political thing.” Kelly said that he voted against the appointment because he would rather hire a borough resi- dent. Grimes lives in Lake Silk- worth. He also noted that there have been [ewer road problems since he [irst came onto council in 1986. “That's why we have com- mitlees,” he said. “The roads committee chairman supervises the road crew.” The supervisor position has been vacant for several years, with one member of the road crew taking the role, under the direc- tion of the roads committee chair- man. Boice also voled “no” because he said he didn't know until the meeting that Smith had offered his services for (ree. “I would be a fool not to accept that offer. You know more about the roads than anyone.” he said. “I would have gone 100 percent with you,” he said to Smith. “You're well-qualified and the salary is right.” : Boice also noted that Grimes had brought in to the borough more that $32,000in grants, fines and permit fees in his seven months as codes enforcement officer. Martin Noon, William Wilson, David Abod and Thomas Kehler voled for Grimes. Joseph Miscav- age was absent from the meeting. The appointment is to be reviewed in January. In other business, the council voled to: * Purchase a new police cruiser from Warnock Motors for $13,605, using two $5,000 grants. e Award a bid to demolish di- lapidated homes on Carpenter Road and Second Street to Lin- senbigler Construction, for $3,265. Other bidders were Wilson Construction, for $3,300 and Dauksis Construction, For $3,350. William Wilson abstained from voling because his company was one of the bidders.
