Newspaper design involves the paper's appearance and how it's put together — the style of head- lines, how photos are presented, the way features are assembled, the use of color and how the paper reflects the community in its writ- ing style. Withey found out last week that she has just received the SND's Silver Award for her work in rede- signing a small daily newspaper in Aberdeen, SD. “It'sachallenge,” she said. “You have to work even harder. You can't repeat yourself.” Although she’s occasionally away from home more than at home, she loves living in Detroit, which she calls “a wonderful place.” “It's a real treasure,” she said. “I can see Canada from my office window.” Withey credits her English teachers at Dallas for showing her how to read a story, think how to present it, then illustrate it, and her co-workers at The Times- Leader for giving her opportuni- ties to develop professionally. Most important is “having a career which I love —- incorporat- ing art with newspapers. It’s great to be paid to do something I really love.” “I never thought that I'd come this far, but had always hoped I would,” Withey said. “There's so much more to do yet.” : Park rules “(éontinued from page 1) Violators will be fined up to $300 or spend up to 30 days in jail.

The borough has only one police officer on duty for every shift, Boice said. “Anyone with a scanner can find out where they are,” he added. Crimes often go unreported because people are afraid to get involved, Mrs. Sult said. They're afraid the criminal will try to get even with them. “Retaliation against a group is tougher than retaliation against one person,” said councilman Fran Kopko. Kopko’s neighbor recently yelled at him while he was walk- ing in his own back yard. “The guy didn't recognize me at first,” Kopko said. “I'm glad he was alert.” “An active crime watch can be a good deterrent to criminals,” said David Schuler. Betty Gray, who watches sev- eral neighbors’ homes, recently found a set of footprints around a cottage. When she followed them, UN iui il “Harveys Lake isn’t exactly a high-crime area, but four burglaries in one month are a lot.” Denise Sult Harveys Lake she learned that the prints be- longed to Jane Swire, another neighbor who checks homes for friends and relatives. “One of my neighbors recently lost about $3,000 of tools when his shed was broken into,” Mrs. Gray said. Mrs. Swire and her husband, Dan, share their neighbors’ con- cerns and want to help out. “I guess you could call us community-minded,” she said. Betty West, Aileen Forster and Clarence Baker said a’'neighbor- hood watch could also help eld- erly residents who often live alone. The eight people who attended last week's meeting are from Worden Place and Sandy Beach. Boice wants to see more people from the lake's other sections. “We could have a very success- ful neighborhood watch with more participants,” he said. “Possibly we could then expand to other safety programs.” Although the 1990 census shows 2,860year-round residents at Harveys Lake, the borough's summer residents outnumber them, he said. Of the borough's approximately 1,800 homes, more than half are occupied only dur- ing the summer, Boice said. The group plans to meet as soon as possible with a Kingston police officer trained in forming neighborhood crime watch groups. Interested residents may call Boice at the municipal authority at 639-1042. Crime watch can be simple or complex By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff A neighborhood crime watch can be as simple as someone pick- ing up a telephone and reporting any suspicious persons or activi- ties to police. According to information pro- vided to Harveys Lake by the Kingston police department, in more organized crime watch groups, neighbors exchange phone numbers and daily sched- ules and are alert for any unusual activity or suspicious persons while they're at home or out for a querade as movers. They'll bring in arented van and literally clean out someone's home while they're at work or on vacation. Other burglars like to hang out in the neighborhood and observe someone's movements before they rob them. Several people who are reguarly home during the day can share responsiblity for coordinating a neighborhood crime watch group's activities. Some groups form block clubs which meet regularly to discuss community issues and security techniques. walk.

Other watch groups use police band radio monitors to keep tabs on crimes or other emergencies. Other more enterprising groups have formed small networks us- ing citizen's band (CB) radios - and have helped police with crimes, boating accidents and other emergencies. More active neighborhood watch participants have formed posses to patrol their blocks on foot, bicycle and even golf cart. The important thing is to be- come organized and active, a cer- tain deterrent to criminals, ac- cording to Harveys Lake mayor Rick Boice. “We can have a very successful program if people become in- volved,” he said. Accidents led to new law Boating accidents at Harveys Lake have spurred the Pennsyl- vania Fish Commission to pass stricter regulations statewide and a low-wake speed law after dusk designed specifically for the lake. e 1983: A boat operated by Denis Abromavage ran over an- other boat, killing four passen- gers. ¢ 1985: Harveys Lake resident Kim Krasner drove her boat into a dock and was killed when her head hit the diving board. e July 27, 1991: Luzerne resi- | dent Rich Walter was killed in a waterskiing accident when the boat which was towing him, oper- ated by Harveys Lake resident Gregg Hanson, passed close to a dock, slamming Walter into it. Hanson, who reportedly was attempting to splash people on the dock, was charged with homi- cide by watercraft, homicide by watercraft while boating under the influence and boating while intoxicated. e August 3, 1991: Lynnwood resident Marie Riss was arrested for boating while intoxicated and towing a waterskier without hav- ing a lookout in the boat. Police said that her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. * September 1, 1991: Six people were treated at nearby hospitals after a speedboat operated by Dallas resident Daniel Cochran rammed the rear of a slower boat operated by William Sickler, ran over top of it and left the scene. Three passengers in Cochran's boat and three passengers in Sick- ler's boat were treated at area hospitals. Cochran was charged with two counts of reckless and negligent operation of a watercraft, violat- ing the no-wake zone within 100 feet of a dock, failing to stop at a boating accident to identify him- self or offer aid and fleeing police pursuit in the accident, which occurred at 11:30 p.m. Equities 8 p.m. Button up! at...
