A witness told police Pavlichko had run his car into the curb in ‘front of the Honor Roll at Dallas Corners, going up on two wheels and nearly flipping over.

DOVE Post Staff FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP - Newly appointed township secretary- treasurer Davida Roberts is an interesting, talented person who has lived and worked all over the country. Roberts, 38, is the granddaugh- ter of the Kasaba family, one of the township's older names, and has lived on the old family home- stead for the past 18 months. A graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, she earned her BA in English from Wilkes University and her master's degree in speech from the University of Oregon. She is working towards a PhD in speech communications from Penn State. “My goal is to finish my doc- toral work by December and get it out of the way,” she said, laugh- ing. When she isn't studying or working in the township office, Roberts enjoys her hobby of inte- rior design and hopes one day to turn it into a business. Before moving to Franklin Township, Roberts taught speech and coached debating teams at colleges and universities all across the country. She was the director of debating at Lafayette College in DAVIDA ROBERTS Easton and director of forensics at Oregon University and Central Missouri State. She has also taught at Penn State and Key- stone Junior College. Roberts has set regular office hours weekdays from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the township office on Municipal Road. On the Monday nights when municipal meetings are held, office hours will be noon until 6 p.m. The township office's telephone number is 333-5131. Boro to spray for caterpillars in May Dallas Borough Council has arranged with Luzerne County Environ- mental Special Projects to have Dallas Borough sprayed in May. Bob Ruhe Ag Service will do the spraying with insecticides harmless to humans and pets. The time table for spraying will depend on the elmworm cycle. Water (continued from page 1) ing the rest of the year, SCID will use its wells for 50 percent of its needs and buy the rest of its water from PG&W. Although Horn questioned the residents’ opinion that the prison’'s water use is adversely affecting nearby residential wells, he said he made the decision “in an effort to remain good neighbors.” Lemmond had asked the de- partment to re-examine its policy on SCID's use of its wells in re- sponse to neighbors’ continuing concern that the prison's wells might cause their wells to go dry. “This action...may well be the answer to the concerns we have raised over the past severalyears, i Lemmond wrote to SCID Con- cerned Citizens head Pat Rusiloski and other area legislators. “We have enlisted the aid ol area legislators, circulated peti- tions, met with prison officials and even gone to Harrisburg, but we feel we've reached a dead end,” Rusiloski said. “The department of corrections has not been very cooperative at all. Since Joe Ryan left, it seems like it's been a waste of time. We have done all we can, and would like to see the Jackson Township supervisors take it up now. Maybe they have more pull than we did.” When the prison was first built, it relied exclusively on three of its four wells, one of which had run dry and is permanently capped. It uses between 250,000 and 275,000 gallons of water a day. Water has been a major con- cern at SCID since at least Janu- ary, 1987, when former superin- tendent Joseph Ryan wrote to the department of corrections that he had closed the inmates’ showers for 24 hours because the water pressure was too low. He was also worried that low water pressure could affect the facility's fire hy- drants. In 1993 the department of cor- rections caved in to pressure from area legislators and spent more than $600,000 to build a pipeline to the Ceasetown Reservoir. The legislators became involved after a series of droughts caused resi- dents near the prison to become concerned the prison could cause their wells to go dry. The prison began to use the line in 1994 under orders from corrections commissionerJoseph Lehman, who said he wanted SCID to “be a good neighbor.” The de: partment of corrections then spent another $43,000 on ‘a hydrogeological study, which 'in- dicated that 10 nearby wells could go dry if the prison continued to rely on its wells for all its wales, However corrections officials disagreed with the study and said the pipeline was to be used only if the prison's wells went dry. Horn ordered the facility to once again rely on its wells for all its walter needs in June, 1995, reversing Lehman's decision. Horn cited economics as the basis for his decision, describing the water coming from the prison'’s wells as “free water in the ground.” Later that summer, when Gov- ernor Thomas Ridge placed the area under a drought emergency. area legislators frantically tried to convince Horn to resume using the water line. He refused, saying he needed “substantial proof” that SCID's wells were adversely af- fecting nearby residents’ wells. Jackson Township board of supervisors chairman Walter Glogowski praised Rusiloski’s el- forts on behalf of the residents. | “I laud Pat and all her work, and appreciate her committee's involvement,” he said. “If I per- sonally knew that a township com- mittee to work with the prison would serve its purpose - to achieve the goal of the prison us- "ing the pipeline all the time - I would support it wholeheartedly if the other supervisors wanted HD 5 The committee, the township and the prison have gone through similar battles before, in which the Department of Corrections promised to use the pipeline, then: “arbitrarily and capriciously: changed ils mind,” he said. ©, | “It's hard to accept policies which change so frequently,” he added. “We have the right as tax-. payers to know what's going'on at | the prison. It might be worthwhile: for the supervisors to meet with the committee and take a long, hard look at the situation.” (SBA "Do It For The Kids" Fourth Annual Walk-A-Thon AL A 0 el’ ed 2, Yeg; He ed ’ Saturday April 13, 1996 Tlic, 2 HE oni 10 A.M.
