Emergency workers watched over one of the teenagers who was later taken by helicopter to Geisinger
Danville Medical Center after the accident Pp Duesdey at the intersection of Rt. 118 and Market Street in
Lehman Township.

Rescuers had to peel open the side of the Subaru Impreza that was struck by.a Ford Explorer.
Accident
(continued from page 1)
Basar, who was taken by heli-
copter to Geisinger Medical Cen-
ter in Danville, was listed in se-
rious condition Wednesday
morning.
Marth'’s condition was unavail-
able at press time.
Raspen and her daughter were
taken by ambulance to Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital, where
they were treated and released.
Kocher said the driver of the
Subaru had his view of the east-
bound lane blocked by vehicles
parked along the highway’s
shoulder. The driver nudged his
way into the eastbound lane,
still could not see, and “gunned
it.” The Explorer struck the Sub-
aru on the left side, sending it
spinning around and into the
westbound lane.
“Speed does not seem to be an
issue here,” said Kocher, who
does not anticipate any charges
being filed.
The most seriously injured
youths were seated in the left-
hand seats of the Subaru.
Kocher said it appeared the
teens were not wearing seat
belts.
Kocher has been pressing the
state Department of. Transporta-
tion (PennDOT) to redesign the
intersection and install a traffic
light. It is particularly danger-
ous, he said, during the school
year when buses are passing
through on the way to the near-
by Lake-Lehman schools.
Medical crews from Kunkle,
Lake Silkworth, Lehman Town-
ship, Lake Township, Harveys
Lake, Jackson . Township and
Medic 12, as well as the Penn-
sylvania State police, Lehman
and Jackson Township Police
departments responded to the
scene.

New Dallas school pool
will be filled in August
BY TIMOTHY J. RAUB
Post Staff
DALLAS TWP. — Problems in
the construction and renovation
of the Dallas Middle School have
been kept to a minimum.
Len Gallo, of Reynolds Con-
struction Management Company
told the Dallas School Board
Tuesday night that construction
and renovations are on sched-
ule, and approximately 61 per-
cent of the project's billing is
complete.
Gallo told the board the sec-
ond phase of the project is cur-
rently underway, with renova-
tions currently taking place in
eight classrooms, the auditori-
um, cafeteria, kitchen, shop and
band rooms.
Gallo said the only major
problem that has arisen during
the renovations has been with
underground piping in the
kitchen and failed water tests in
that area, but assured the board
the problem has been solved
and construction personnel are
taking care of it.
The board also received bids
for ceramic tile replacement in
the hallways, and voted 5-3 to
accept a bid of $127,340 from
Sean Byrne Construction for ce-
ramic tile replacement in the
school corridors.
Board members David Usav-
age, John Litz and Maureen Ma-
tiska voted not to accept the bid,
while board president Ernest
Ashbridge, and board members
Thomas Russ, Deborah Morgan-
tini, Anthony Barbose, and
James Richardson voted to ac-
cept it. Board member Frank
Natitus was not present.
Gallo expects to have exterior
work on the school completed in
the next few weeks, with black
topping slated for completion in
two to three weeks.
Gallo also said he expects the
pool in the school district's first-
ever natatorium to be filled in
the coming weeks, but said it
will take eight to 15 days to fill,
because the pool can only be
filled at a rate of 15 gallons per
minute.
The board voted unanimously
to table a motion to grant pro-
fessional contracts to 10 teach-
ers in the district.
Contracts for Barbara Brandt,
Jonelle Pall Cavill, Thomas
Duffy, Victoria Flynn, Lisa
Niewinski, Lauren O'Neill,
Christie Potera, Barbara
Richardson, Susan Stanski and
Barbara Wesneski were all
tabled.
Russ, who made the motion to
table the original motion to ac-
cept, had no comment on the is-’
sue.
In other business:
* The school board appointed
Joan Rakowski as director of the
school district's Saturday alter-
native in-school suspension pro-
gram at $20 per hour, and Ken
Kashatus monitor of the in-
school suspension program at a
rate of $80 per day.
¢ The school board voted
unanimously to accept the
school district's K-12 technology
curriculum.
* Cynthia Maier, a fifth grade
teacher at Wycallis Elementary
School was transferred to the
middle school and will teach So-
cial Studies, and high school So-
cial Studies teacher Matt Stre-
tanski was transferred to the
* middle school.
e The board accepted the res-
ignations of assistant high
school principal Mark Gerch-
man, middle school Social Stud-
ies teacher Susan Payne and li- .
brary clerical aide Debra Coon.
* Colleen Edsell was hired as
an ESL/gifted teacher at Wycal-
lis Elementary School, at
$31,200, and Regan Palfey was |,
hired as a fourth grade teacher
at Dallas Elementary School at
$29,172 pro-rated for the first
semester of the 2002-03 school
year.
e Bob Zaruta was named mid-
dle school assistant football
coach.
