In reaction to the expansion, Shavertown resident John Gosart pointed out, “If they are going to increase the inmate population,then they better hire more guards to secure against break-outs.” Lake-Lehman School Director Paul Crockett will retire after 33 years of service. Mr. Crockett began his service as a school di- rector back in 1948 when the late Harry S. Truman was presi- dent as a member of the Ross Township School Board. He had the privilege of laying the cor- nerstone for the Lake-Noxen El- ementary School.

There won't be any more.” Brogna said in two years of sampling, decreases have been the trend. “We've seen less and less each time we've sampled. We'd expect it to break down to practically nil. We've seen, of the 35 original wells, nine are now non-detect, meaning there is no longer any amount that’s detectable. We'd foresee the same happening to the rest of the wells providing we don’t have a new source coming in somewhere.” — Brogna told residents Ameri- can Asphalt had not been fined because DEP was “not in the le- gal end of the process.” He said another four seasons of testing, at the minimum, would be nec- essary before sampling was complete. . when DEP does But as John Filip, of Jackson Township, noted, “Residents are at the end of the line.” Filip also has filed a com- plaint with the zoning officer, to be forwarded to the DEP, con- cerning 50 to 100 tires illegally dumped on the southwest cor- ner of his property and “a mini- landfill” off of Huntsville Road. Filip holds American Asphalt Paving responsible for the tire dump, suspects the company in the second dump and wished to make the matter public by bring it to the attention of the board of supervisors. “I doubt we will be here something about it,” Filip said. “They han- dled a water problem and 14 years later they've finally decid- ed who was creating the water problem. In another 14 years there will probably be a couple thousand more tires on that pile and nothing will be done.” Filip said the dump sites are creating potential health prob- lems in the form of rats and mosquitoes and posing a fire hazard. Bernie Banks of American As- phalt Paving denied the charge.

The state has adopted a statewide building code, the International Building Code, to be instituted in spring 2002 and Jackson Township will be one of the first municipalities to conform. » Officer R.

Barsh request- ed information on putting in stop signs and making Sutton Road one-way going in. Super- visor Jay Wilkes replied the township was still awaiting the traffic survey expected this past summer and concerns should be addressed to PennDOT. e John Krupa, zoning officer, reported significantly lower ap- plications for building permits this month. * The position of a grant coor- dinator, to apply for grants for the township, was created, as was the position of recycling co- ordinator to start and coordi- nate a recycling program. Crime Watch (continued from page 1) ordinators, John Link, and Ed Chesnovitch, chaired the meet- ing, along with Police Chief Jerry Leedock, and Al Fox, su- pervisor of Jackson Township. The meeting started off with a report by the police chief of re- cent criminal activities in the township, as will be the cus- tom for all future meetings. “Every month we’ll give you an update and we'll let you know what's going on,” Chief Leedock said. “Anything that we can tell you, we will.” The chief reported three bur- glaries in the last two weeks in the township with a related burglary taking place on the same day in Kingston Town- ship. Items stolen from one burgled house were found at another. The police are waiting for information from the state informing them if a match is found with the fingerprints ob- tained from the break-in. Police are also looking over surveil- lance videos from Wal-Mart to identify ‘persons using credit cards stolen from the homes. All three burglaries occurred in the daytime hours between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Officer Scott Davis explained that one of the many advantages to at- tending a neighborhood watch meeting was being given “cer- tain information” not necessar- ily printed in the paper. Fox praised Chief Leedock and Officer Davis for their in- vestigations into several mat- ters over the last few months and credited input from com- munity residents with helping in these investigations. “One of the witnesses turned out to be one of the supervisors, Jay Wilkes,” Chief Leedock ex- plained. “He was working on a road and saw these kids com- one. They haven't hit a single house with an alarm sign.” Scott Davis Jackson Twp. police officer ing through the cemetery car- rying stuff. He was able to identify them. That really was the big lead in solving that case.” Fox said this was the reason the crime watch program was started. Six juveniles were ar- rested, two months ago, for breaking into over 40 cars and homes. This happened over a five-month period and many residents were not aware it was happening, said a resident at the meeting. “That's a good ex- ample of what the crime watch could have prevented, “ said Fox. Increasing participation and awareness of the new crime watch was an important part of the meeting's discussions. Link, coordinator of the newly formed group, made up about 80 flyers prior to the meeting and distributed them to homes in the township to notify his neighbors of new Neighborhood Crime Watch meeting. Fox said it is one of the main objectives" he has for the new program. “First of all we want to inform that we have a Crime Watch,” Fox said. “Second, actually come and participate. Come to a meeting. Third, sign up and become a volunteer to help your community. That's really what [ think it's all about—to become a volunteer, to help your next door neighbor or the person down the street.” Chesnovitch, having experi- enced the trauma of being bur- glarized, agreed. “I think that’s important, neighbors helping neighbors. We're not in May- berry anymore. It's a violent world. I think it's very impor- tant we have this.” Silvia Malak, township resi- dent, suggested inviting people with experience starting and running their own crime watch programs to future meetings to come and share their experi- ence with the new group. “I don’t, think we should try to invent the wheel when the wheel is ‘already out there,” Fox agreed. “Several ‘members agreed to approach and invite other area crime watch officers. Harveys Lake Borough has the only other Back Mountain area crime watch, the McGruff Crime Watch. Chief Leedock and Officer Davis provided many tips on . keeping safe and what sorts of suspicious activity to report and how to report it, from noti- fying the police department if you are going out of town for any length of time, to installing - motion detectors and alarm systems. “Right now the best deterrent for these burglaries is an alarm sign on your house even if you don’t have one,” said Officer Davis. “They haven’t hit a single house with § an alarm sign.” Chief Leedock added there hadn't been a sin- gle burglary in a house with an active alarm system in the 19 years he has been with the Jackson police. Davis focused on two things to look for in keeping a neigh- borhood safe, “Anybody who doesn’t belong, and your neigh- bor’'s house. If you're walking through the neighborhood and you see somebody is at the house, even if they are just standing on the porch and you don’t know who they are, you should probably call us,” he said. “People sometimes are wor- ried about calling 911 because they think it's not an emer- gency,” added Chief Leedock. “Dial 911 and don't worry about that.” The non-emergency number for the Jackson Township po- lice department is 675-8500. This number may be used for general questions or to leave a voice mail for. one of the offi- cers. The only qualification for membership in the Neighbor- hood Crime Watch is township residency. Every member of the community is at least an inac- tive member of the Crime Watch and can call the police department about suspicious activity. All persons present at the meeting were asked to encour- age their friends and neighbors to come to the next meeting on Dec. 27. The regular meetings of the Neighborhood Crime Watch group will be held on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Jackson township municipal building.
