8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 5, 1995 Charges (continued from page 1) of Dallas; Ruthie Marie Yale, 18, of Franklin Township; Christian Andrus, 18, of Trucksville; Louie J. Robinson, 19, of Edwardsville, and Mike Curran, 19, of Brooklyn, NY, were reduced to misdemean- ors and bound over to Luzerne County Court, according to Tup- per. “I believe they will apply for the Accelerated Rehabilitation pro- gram (ARD)," he said. Misde- “meanor charges of this type in- volve less than $500, he added. Onzik and the other five defen- .dants will pay $160 apiece in restitution, Tupper said. If the four juveniles involved in the case make plea agreements or are found guilty, they will also pay $160 apiece, according to Dallas Township police chief Carl Miers. A felony charge of forgery against Yale and a felony charge of theft by unlawful taking against Appel were dropped in a plea agreement, Miers added. “There's no monetary loss be- cause each defendant has agreed to pay $160 restitution to the credit card companies within 10 days of the preliminary hearing,” he said. “Since neither Mrs. Harger nor the credit card companies lost money and Appel returned the wallet, I agreed to drop the charge of theft by unlawful taking.” Yale had been charged with forgery because she verified to her ‘employer, Sneaker King, and to ‘the credit card company that the signature on the charge slip was ‘Mrs. Harger's, when she knew it wasn’t, Miers added. | Fantastic frog POST PHOTO/GRACE R.

There isn’t a lot of damage.” Hunlock Creek resident Chris Oremus also disputed the deer damage to plant life. “You have told us there's no critical defoliation going on,” he said. “Your main impetus for the hunt is to reduce the number of road kills. Many acres of private lands border the park and I'm sure the deer also live there. Kill all the deer in the park and you'll still have road kills.” The goal of the hunt is to re- duce the herd by 74 percent, or approximately 70 deer, before the doe give birth, he added. DER operations chief Gene Geiser described the controlled hunt proposed for the park, which he said has worked well in other areas of the state. The entire park will be closed for the hunt, he said. Approxi- mately 300 acres of the park's western portion along Green Road have been open to hunters since 1971. Hunters will apply for free per- mits to hunt in certain areas of the park, each assigned to a spe- cific area. They will be required to attend an orientation class, check in at the park office before hunt- ing and be allowed to use only shotguns with single projectile ammunition, such as a.12-gauge with ounce balls. Areas within 150 yards of homes and occupied park build- ings will be designated as safety zones, which hunters will be al- lowed to enter to track a wounded deer only when accompanied by a park ranger or Game Commis- sion officer. “This type of hunt is the best control measure,” he said. “Deer usually don't survive being tran- quilized and relocated.” Mark Kravits, who lives on Green Road near the park, dis- puted Barr's and Geiser's state- APRIL 6™- 7™- g™ YAMAHA-HONDA DAYS!!! zh arr —— LOTS OF SURPRISES!!! - “Luzerne County is way overpopulated with deer.” Paul Potichko Midway Manor ments about the park trying to be a good neighbor. “A good neighbor doesn't load up the woods with lots of men with guns,” he said. “For the two days of the hunt, what are we supposed to do with our families and pets - go on vacation? Why didn't you set up a safety zone along Green Road?” “What will you do if someone living near the park gets shot?” asked Trucksville resident Jan Bregman, who likes to walk in the park and look at the deer. “Are you really managing the deer herd or are you catering to the hunt- ers?” Carverton Heights resident Nikki LiVenda was also concerned about safety. “Sometimes during hunting season I can't go outside to hang my wash on the line be- cause of all the bullets whizzing by,” she said. She also questioned the envi- ronmental impact of building the campground. “You said the deer like to browse on hardwood trees,” she said. “You cut down lots of beautiful hardwoods to make the campground - you weren't wor- ried about the trees then. Why don't you tear up some of the unused parking areas near the campground and replant them ‘with hardwoods for the deer?” Midway Manor resident Paul Potichko said he wouldn't partici- pate in the hunt but supports hunters who will. “Luzerne County is way over- populated with deer,” he said. Other suggestions included lacing corn and deer treats with birth control medication, luring the deer away from the park with trails of apples, using community volunteers to plant beechnut trees and other plants which deer like to eat and doing more flyovers during different seasons to get a more accurate deer count.
