Dallas Moss throws Lake-Lehman's 5 Spring sports budget a curve By MICHAEL TWICHELL Post Correspondent LEHMAN - Allen Moss was the lone vote against bids for equip- ment for spring sports program at the regular October 17 meeting of the Lake-Lehman school board. The bids were approved with Joseph “Red” Jones, Elizabeth Sichler, Tom Williams, Patricia Gold, Jeffrey Fritzen, and Karen Whipple voting for them. Edward Kern and Dr. John Presper were absent. Moss said the bids in ques- tion should have been voted on individually, as he only opposed the purchase of a pitching ma- chine for the girls’ softball team. “After the pitching machine, you'd need a batting machine, and then have to coordinate that with the catching machine, and then the kids on the team could sitdown and watch,” he said after the meeting. Business manager Ray Bower- sox said Friday the machine rep- resented $995 of the $11,039 spring sports equipment budget. Bids are solicited from a list of items coaches say they need. The coaches then pick and choose from the items to keep the overall total within budget, which Bowersox said has ranged between $10,000 and $12,000 in recent years. He said the machine will replace an old one that needed repairs. The board also unanimously approved the establishment of an account in the Lake Noxen/Ross Elementary fund to recive contri- butions to the Lolly Larkins Read- ing Corner. Larkins, a first grade teacher, died September 25 at the age of 58. In other business, the wourd unanimously approved a list of substitute teachers, bus and van drivers, staff. Bill against bugs gets OK The House Environmental Resources and Energy Commit- tee Monday unanimously ap- proved Rep. Phillis Mundy’s bill to attack the problem of insect pests in forested neighborhood areas. The measure (H.B. 1766) would direct the state Bureau of For- estry to focus efforts on controlling native forest insect pests in resi- dential areas meeting the Gypsy Moth Spraying Guidelines. “The Back Mountain area was inundated this year with elm spanworm caterpillars,” Mundy said, “and other areas of Pennsyl- vania saw heavy damage from the forest tent caterpillar and fall cankerworm. “It's important to act on this legislation before the end of the year, because consecutive years of defoliation can result in tree mortality and reduced wildlife habitat, and the Bureau of For- estry will need several months in which to set up and implement its program, Mundy said. “a “This is a needed investment the state should make so people do not have their homes and backyards overrun by caterpil- lars, as happened in the Back. Mountain and other areas in 1995,” she said.
