8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, October 22, 1997 Candidates (continued from page 1) Although issues such as secu- rity and drug prevention are be- ing addressed, other issues that were once discussed have never come up again. Kyle cites prob- lems with intensified scheduling that were reported to the board last spring and lack of space at the high school. “I don’t know that they are making any effort to get the community involved at an early stage,” she said. “It's hard to come to a school board meeting and feel you have anything to offer when they don’t try to in- clude people in what they are doing.” Kyle said she does not have a problem with the random drug testing of athletes or the use of canines. “I don’t think they're sin- gling them out. I think it protects theathletes. It shouldn't belooked on as negative,” she said. + As a mother of two children in the district, she supports the board’s efforts. “I like the fact they want to take a hard stand. It will make people aware they can’t ~ reach our students on campus,” she said. + Kyle also supports security measures taken this year. “Al- though it's an inconvenience, it’s a necessary evil,” she said. “They are protecting our children. | think it can be done in a friendly way.” - Kyle is thrilled the board voted in Ellen Nagy. “It’s important to keep the board balanced,” she said. “- Unlike Kyle, Barbose thinks if one athlete is to be tested for drugs, then so should the entire school including the administra- tion, teachers and other district employees. “Drug testing has to be done. If it includes the entire student body, it's no problem,” said Barbose, who has three chil- drenin the district. He is a project manager at American Asphalt. Barbose thinks the board is making a good first step, but should not discriminate against one group of students.

Christopher Gaydosh has pre- sented his publication, "Using the Internet for Triple-blind Research Studies."

Barbose is all for the security systems in place at all the schools. “Anything as far as safety of kids is worthwhile. Ifit helps the kids, I'm 100 percent for it,” he said. Barbose thinks the board needs to give taxpayers more input on issues. “It’s the taxpayers’ school and they should listen more to the taxpayers,” he said. “I think I can bring a bigger ear to the board and listen to what different people have to say. 1 want to hear the story from all sides.” Frank Natitus, who initially ran with Barbose, Steve Wengen and Ted Wright under the name, “Four for Our Kids,” is interested in bridging the gap between board members and the public. “I would try to do the best possible job to make rational decisions and let the public be involved as much as possible,” he said. “It’s a public district, it’s not mine, it’s not the school board's.” Natitus does not like the idea of any individual being singled out for drug testing, but he thinks the use of dog searches of the school is a good tactic. “I think some- thing had to be done,” he said, referring to drugs on campus. Natitus said anyone willing to put their time and effort into the school. deserves a shot on the board. “I think it is positive that people are looking to be involved,” he said of his opponents. “It gives people a choice when they go to vote.” Maureen Banks was not avail- able for an interview at press time.

Once we decided to give recycling to DAMA they picked up the ball.” Box said the three municipali- ties exhausted all other options before the decision was made. “We discussed how to do this be- tween cost estimates of hiring people and buying equipment ourselves. Buying a $50,000 re- cycling truck for this small town didn’t make much sense,” said Box.

It was a transitional period,” said Milton Lutsey, Dal- las Borough manager. Box said using DAMA has proved less expensive for most people. The cost started at S136 per household for two bags a week and unlimited recyclables, he said. Now it is around $112. “Most people were paying between S200 and $250 a year just for trash,” said Box. He does acknowledge that there are some households" that pay more. : “The cost seems to get less ev- | ery year because ot the Penyelng. y said Lutsey.

Harveys Lake Borough provides a recycling service for its residents at no charge. The borough received a $55,000 grant from the Department of Natural Resources last year to purchase a truck and trailer. The trailer is already in service and the truck should be in by March, said Carole * Samson, borough secretary. The borough has been doing its own curbside of State Parks, explained that the excessive deer herd is destroying park vegetation. He said after the hunts at other state parks, the park staff usually sees a return of long ab- sent wildflowers, shrubs, and small trees. Safety zones, no hunting areas and park boundaries will be posted and strictly enforced. Extra park rangers, Pennsyl- vania Game Commission person- nel and the State Police will be stationed throughout the park area during these hunts.

In + order to receive this new grant we had to give our truck and trailer to Lake Township,” said Samson. | Although they did not win county recognition this year, Samson is hopeful for the future. “We were close, maybe next year,” she said.

Rick and Sue Makara of Lehman recycle through their * | hauler. “We just inquired about it at Searles Trucking.
