The proximity to the water, * though, would be a concern to the department’s soils and waterways section. “This is a really tough time of year,” for that section, Carmon said. “Each of them has about 120 cases to handle right now.” He said Mike Sames, a soils and waterways inspector, would try to get to the site soon. “It sounds like it is a violation,” said Sames, during a telephone interview later in the day on June 21. He said the placement of any material at or below the normal water line is prohibited. Sames said there also may be wetland areas on the shoreline at that point, which is less than 100 feet from an old dam at the lake outlet. “It looks like they extended the shoreline out. ’ Jim DeGeorge .

(Sunday, July 4) 9-1 Sat. 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Sun. 12-4 (Reg. Hrs.) Savage (continued from page 1) board members are not involved in the hiring process. “The only shred of our reputation we have left is that our directors are not in on these decisions,” said Whipple. “Now we are right back to where we were in 1986 with nine people running the district.” While agreeing to accept pro- posals for the position of solicitor, the board also voted to approve a minimum standard rate increase for the firm of Campbell, Durrant & Beatty, PC. Bruce Campbell, one of the firm's partners, repre- sented Lake-Lehman as its chief negotiator during the recent col- lective bargaining process. The lawyer's fee increased from $135 to $150 per hour. This move prompted Robert Allardyce- to suggest the board seek a solicitor who would be avail- able to assume Campbell's Ie- sponsibilities. “Since we are ac- cepting proposals for a new solici- tor, why don’t we look for some- one who can represent us in nego- tiations with the teachers?” he asked. “I don’t have a problem with Campbell personally, al- though I think he gave in a little too quickly on some issues, but it doesn’t make sense for the dis- trict to fly an attorney from Pitts- burgh and pay for his hotel stay and meals when someone local can do the job.” “There are some people on the board who want Peter out and I'm not going to mention names be- cause I don’t want to be sued,” said Whipple. “But what I don't understand is how the people who lined up to support him last year can turn their backs this time.” Following the discussion, Rossi asked the current solicitor to re- main until a replacement is named, or the board decides to retain Savage. “This is unbeliev- able, first you humiliate him and then you ask him to stay on,” said Whipple. Savage did not provide an im- mediate response saying instead, “I will need some time to think about it.” He could not be reached for further comment. The controversy has left Whipple, whose term expires in November, with a sense of frus- tration. “This is a classic example of hypocrisy and it is so sad,” she said. “Peter lives in the district, he has a kid who went to school here and his heart here but he is being held out as a scapegoat.” Budget (continued from page 1) The current fiscal period ends June 30 but actual fig- ures on the year end will not be available for several months. “Payroll runs through August and we have other bills which are still outstanding,” said Wil- liams. “We still owe West Side Tech and the LIU (Luzerne In- termediate Unit) in addition to several other bills that we pay each of the 12 months. All of these must be subtracted from the fund balance.” Williams estimates there will be $1.5 millon available after all those obligations have been met, the same amount that was budgeted for the current year. “We have a lot of expen- ditures but if we are lucky we will come in under budget by approximately $300,000,” she said. Robert Allardyce, the lone school board member who voted against approving the new budget, disagreed with XN those estimates. “Who wants to bet me that we will have $2,000,000 left at the end of all of this?” he asked. “The people in this district are over taxed and I make a motion that we reduce the millage. Let's start with 5 or 10 mills and see how it goes.” + Allardyce suggested the dis- et is collecting taxes it does not need. “There isn’t a sign out front that says ‘Invest your money in Lake-Lehman’ - we aren’t running a bank here,” he said. “This money belongs to the people and if there is a surplus it should be given back to the people.” Ini 1998, a gross mill pro- late the local revenue for the ‘Smith was promoted from as- duced $39,596 while Lake- Lehman actually collected $34,000 - $35,000 per mill. Using those figures to calcu- 1999-2000 fiscal period yields local revenue amounting to just over $9,000,000. This total is in line with the projected revenue that must be ‘collected to meet the district’s expenditures for that period. “It's going to be very tight,” said Williams. Charles Boytin was sworn in as a board member before the meeting, filling the post left vacant when Rose Howard resigned last month. Also, Dave McLaughlin- sistant principal to principal of the Lake-Noxen and Ross elementary schools, and was appointed director of curricu- lum for the district. His salary will be $61,000. www. lastsite.com PLAY WEEKEND SPECIALS FOUR SEASONS GOLF CLUB Fray: “Couples Night” Two can play with Motor cart for $20.00 after 5:00 p.m., until Dark.
