The Kingston Township Water Commission has also suggested a wellhead protection plan, which would prohibit the drilling of any private wells near the supply wells of any water company, so that the water ‘table wouldn't be drawn down too low in one area. Drasti- cally lowering the water table in a concentrated area can cause pumps to burn out and wells to go The old regional commission disbanded due to lack of money, = enforcement powerand computer access for the large database of Back Mountain water supplies “and private wells it was compil- _ing, Ward said. The information had been ob- tained from questionnaires sent out with water bills, information ~ from private water companies and state records. Although it will probably need to be updated, the database will help the new water commission in its wellhead pro- tection plan. sit Kingston Township is the first area municipality to form a water ‘commission. ». Dallas Township has 10 inde- ypemdent water companies, while Harveys Lake and Lehman Town- ship each have five, Jackson Township has four, and Dallas _ Borough, Franklin Township and Lake Township each have one. ~The Huntsville Reservoir is lo- “cated in Dallas Borough and “Dallas and Lehman townships, while the Ceasetown Reservoir is “located in Lehman Township.

DOVE Post Staff SHAVERTOWN - A two-car accident August 11 sent three women to area hospitals and tied up Route 309 for more than an hour. According to Kingston Town- ship police, a 1988 Pontiac oper- ated by Patricia McNamara, 46, of Williamsport, was traveling south on Route 309 by Rave's when it impacted with a 1990 Oldsmobile operated by Alice Coleman, 85, of Sweet Valley. The Coleman ve- hicle was attempting to pull from the Texaco gas station onto Route 309 north, police said. Coleman will be cited for fail- ure to yield the right-of-way, po- lice said. Coleman and her passenger, Charlotte Seeman, 85, of Sweet Valley, were taken by ambulance to the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, where they were treated and re- leased, according to a hospital spokesperson.

School board members Clar- ence Michael, Thomas Landon, Maureen Banks and John George said they still have questions about the four-period day. “I'm not ready yet to jump on the bandwagon,” George said. “We already have a great system here. Ifintensified scheduling is so great, why are we the first district in the area to jump into it?” Calling intensified scheduling “afantasticapproach,” Ellen Nagy said she would vote for it “imme- diately” but was very concerned that the vast majority of Dallas high school teachers are against it. “I would like the teachers to tell Irem Women to host luncheon Aug. 17 Irem Women's Auxiliary will hold a luncheon August 17 at Irem Temple Country Club at 12:30 p.m. 7.

The board will take a final vote on intensified scheduling at its regular October 9 meeting, after considering a plan drafted by the administrators and allowing teachers toread more research on it. The board also accepted the resignation of senior high school assistant principal and special education supervisor David Bieri, effective September 22, with re- gret. Bieri has accepted a similar job at Crestwood Area. “It’s a professional career move, more towards administration,” Bieri said after the meeting. “I'll have less district-wide responsi- bilities with the special education students and more work in my building. Leaving Dallas is very difficult — everyone here has been wonderful — but this opportunity to move on is the best for my family and me.” Bieri would have earned $52,000 at Dallas this year. He will earn $56,000 at Crestwood. The board raised teachers’ lunch prices from $1.85 to $2, but kept elementary lunches at $1.30 and middle school lunches at $1.40. A la carte prices for senior high school lunches will also remain the same. In personnel matters, the board approved lists of aides, part-time employees, teachers’ salary lev- els, bus drivers and substitute teachers. Kingston Township resident Cathy Tkaczyk and Hunlock Creek resident Michael Rakowski were hired as senior high school hall monitors, to work four hours per day for $5 per hour.
