According to investigating of- ficer James Stout, Harveys Lake resident Trina Franklin, 29, was sitting in her 20-foot motor boat, drifting on the water near Hanson's, when she heard a noise. Looking up, she saw a jet ski about to climb over the back of her boat, and fell to the floor. The jet ski, owned by Sunset out of bullets, there was no guar- antee that another officer could help him out. Now all our weap- ons will be standardized.” Officers will recieve their weap- ons only after they have qualified for them by passing marksman- ship tests, she added. In other business, the council voted unanimously to award a $34,521 bid to Stella Excavating for road repairs authorized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.) Mayor Richard Boice, solicitor Charles McCormick and council- men Martin Noon and George Gwilliam were absent. No one injured when jet ski lies over, lands on top of boat Jet Ski Rental, flew the length of the boat and landed upside down on the windshield in the bow of Franklin's boat. Jet ski operator Shannon Sebolka, 22, of Larksville, and a passenger, Michelle Miller, 22, of Forty Fort, were thrown into the water. No injuries were reported, and no evidence of drugs or alcohol were found at the scene, Stout said. Sebolka and Miller were wearing life jackets.
