8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 27, 1998 Students (continued from page 1) nated, Rome said it would be im- possible to do. “There will always be dead spots. There is no such thing as 100 percent radio cover- age. We believe what we're doing will be better than what is being done today.” ; In early discussions of an En- ‘hanced County 911 system, the new $1.25 per phone line charge was to help pay for Mobile Data Computers (MDC), which were to be put in all emergency vehicles so that directions and instruc- tions could be faxed directly to responders. Rome said the aboli- tion of the Department of Com- munity Affairs (DCA) ended that option. Recently, 911 was put under the PA Emergency Management Agency, which determined that no part of the $1.25 could be used for the MDC. The money is cur- rently used for phone systems, fixed radio systems and salaries. “We still want the MDCs, we just don’tknow where to get the money to pay for them,” said Rome. Kingston Township police chief, . James Balavage, anticipates the county 911 will work well and hopes the quality of communica- tion currently enjoyed by police is maintained.

The prize, Students (continued from page 1) before). Some ran to the dunk- ing booth to sink a sophomore, others ran for a scoop of straw- berry, chocolate or peanut but- ter ice cream. With all this excitement, you might think the message of stay- ing drug and alcohol free is lost, but the sixth graders seem to get it. “The carnival is so people don’t get addicted and die of drugs,” said Cheryl Ross, 12. “We learn not todo drugs and what they do to you.” Cheryl agreed with her friend Val Thompson that it helped to hear about drugs from teenagers. : : Chris Bower, 12, frankly summed up the girls comments when he said, “We don’t listen to old people.” { Becky Edwards, a sophomore from Harveys Lake, was part of the group running the ring toss sopnomore booth. “I decided to do this for the kids. I think being around older kids influences them. They look up to us,” she said. Junior Chris Crawford said the carnival makes the mes- sage fun. “It's good to get them while their young,” he said. “We would've liked some- thing like this (when we were younger).” All the prizes handed out, such as pencils, toy planes and fuzzy animals, tell the winners to just say no todrugs and alcohol. Baranowski said it’s not just the younger ones who learn.a thing or two. “The high school students create and design each booth. They also have to fill out an extensive applica- tion and get their teacher's permission,” she said. Jon Korbeil, junior, said “We learn how to deal with younger kids.” He also mentioned that he enjoyed showing kids that there is always something else to do besides drugs. Barnowski said local fire stations, such as Lehman Township Fire and Ambu- lance, bring their fire trucks for the grade schoolers to see. Also, the United States Army provided large tents and Hot 97 radio provided music. The high school plans to improve the event every year. Think it would make a neat photo?
