LCCC to host Civil War program Q: Where do you find the most Back Mountain news each week? A: Only in The Dallas Post. Projects (continued from page 1) while helping others who are less fortunate. The Nov. 6 school board work session opened with a talk by four Dallas High School teachers who served as Completion Project Ad- visors: Frank Galicki, DHS Prin- cipal; John McCarthy, English teacher; Jay Pope, Social Studies teacher, and Maureen Whalen, English teacher. Pope enumerated some of the places students went for their Completion Projects, which in- cluded the SPCA, the Red Cross drive in Dallas, the Lake-Noxen Head Start, the Hospice program, the Little ‘Theater, and the. St. Joseph’s Center in Scranton. Whalen explained that students were taken to the facilities once as part of the project, and then en- couraged to go again indepen- dently. “We would try to take them to places they would not normally go on their own,” she said, and added that many of the students did go on to volunteer on their own initiative for certain projects, such as helping with a Red Cross blood drive and working at the Head Start in Wilkes-Barre over the summer. : Galicki said when students came back from the facilities, “the kids stated up front that they thoroughly enjoyed their experi- ence and wanted to continue it.” McCarthy feels the projects help students appreciate their good fortune. “It was amazing to hear the kids say ‘We're more fortunate than we thought.” It's really a learning experience for them,” she said. Whalen said a video was being compiled consisting of footage of the students working on their projects. She noted many projects provided excellent experience for students planning to go into cer- tain fields. For example, at the SPCA potential veterinarians cleaned up after the animals and watched surgery being performed on them, and at the Head Start future educators made lesson plans and learned firsthand about working with children. The students made a good im- pression on the staff at the vari- ous institutions, Whalen said. “The people working in the facili- ties want them to come back. They have given the kids every kind of compliment.” It was most impressive, she said, because the students “go to places most adults wouldn’t go.” Furthermore, de- spite the mixture of different kinds of students, they all worked to- gether well. “You're talking about kids ‘with all different abilities ... they might not all be friends, some might not necessarily be academi- cally advanced, but they rose t the same level.” : Superintendent Gilbert Griffiths agreed the students had done well. “When they present their projects, they do so with humility,” he said. "They really had some compassion for what they did, and tried to get that across notonly to the people grad- ing the projects, but to anyone who reads them.” The faculty advisors did men- tion some transportation con- cerns, such as the possibility of buses being late, the impractical- ity of using buses to transport smaller numbers of students, and liability issues for parents and faculty who transported students. Garlicki said he would like to present the board with a list of sites to cover so it can be ap- proved and also made a part of public record. Board member Frank Natitus said he would talk to the district's insurance repre- sentative. At the close of the presenta- tion, board members expressed their enthusiasm for the success of this year’s projects and regard for the participants. “I think you've ~ given the kids a real positive way of using the Completion Project,” Karen Kyle said. Assistant Super- intendent Michael Speziale spoke of getting grants and told the ad- visors, “You've done an outstand- ing job.” In other business, Paul DiGillio of Foreman Burkavage reported the company was 35 to 40 percent + finished with the project develop- ment stage of the middle school plans; this is the stage in which the designs are laid out and the materials are selected. On Thurs- day the documents will be fin- ished and given to Reynolds Con- struction for pricing. Walter Tack of Reynolds Con- struction outlined the company’s pre-construction plans for the board. Tack said the preliminary Design Development estimates and Land Development plans will be ready for submission at the December meeting, and he will meet with Dr. Griffiths, Tony Martinelli, middle school princi- pal and DiGillio on Tuesday to review the phasing plans for the project. Phasing plans and Land Development plans are required for approval by Dallas Township. Tack also said the preparation of asbestos abatement documents is proceeding, with bids from con- tractors to be taken by the end of the year and the abatement to be done in summer of 2001. “What happens if we have a problem with one of the contrac- tors and they come in with the low bid?” Dr. Griffiths asked, worried about a repetition of the situation with two other projects where the lowest bidder — the same con- tractor in both cases — was not competent, which led to problems. “It depends on how aggressive your attorney is,” DiGillio said, and explained it was necessary to have concrete evidence to show the contractor did not perform according to standard, and to be able to provide documentation from throughout the whole build- ing process in order to prove a solid case that a particular con- tractor should not be re-hired.
