Wendy's declined to comment for this ar- ticle. Wendy's submitted a traffic study by Pasonick Engineering in November. : Alleged unsafe 1 pn sions at Wendy's, in Dallas orough, have led the fast-food restaurant to ask for an addi- tional entrance and exit on Mill Street. On Thursday, December 19, the Dallas Borough zoning hearing board will consider a re- a variance Wendy's Restaurant to add an additional entrance and exit off from Joe Moskovitz, Dallas Borough )/ Manager and Zoning Officer, said the restaurant previously had an additional entrance/exit on Mill Street that was closed due to complaints from Mill Street residents.

I worked on it for a whole week — maybe ten days — for 14 hours each day.” Lurie had never used such a large egg before.

Lake-Lehman looking into new principal’s background By KALEN CHURCHER Special to The Dallas Post LEHMAN TWP. — The job record of a Lake-Lehman princi- pal is dotted with controversy, including spending without ap- proval and allowing student workers to remove asbestos from a school, published reports say. District Solicitor = Charles Coslett confirmed Tuesday he is investigating an “issue” involv- ing High School Principal Michael Gokay, but would not be specific. Coslett described the matter as a personnel issue and would only say he and Superintendent Robert Roberts are conducting the inquiry. Gokay was hired by the district in June to replace long-time principal John Oliver, who retired at the end of last school year. Gokay's salary is $76,000. According to the July 21, 1999 edition of Allentown's The Morning Call, two former stu- dent workers and a custodian must receive annual chest X- rays for the remainder of their lives because they removed as- bestos tiles from the Upper Bucks County Area Vocational- Technical School in 1997. The report indicates the three were not trained or certified to per- form the task and the district was fined $102,300 by the fed- eral Environmental Protection Agency. Gokay was appointed director of the school in 1995. Also during Gokay's tenure at the school, questions were raised regarding a $250,000 over-expenditure of the school’s ed. An electrical contract was also allegedly granted before be- ing put out to bid and purchas- es made without full-knowledge of the Joint Operating Commit- tee, the report stated. In December 2000, students at Harrisburg High School at- tempted to protest Gokay’s lead- ership, but were ushered into an assembly by school officials, ac- cording to the Harrisburg Patri-. ot News. Teachers also dis- agreed with Gokay's manage- ment style. Additional stories re- ported Gokay was suspended without pay due to poor perfor- mance, and a March 2001 re- port indicated he ultimately quit “rather than continue the dis- trict’s attempt to fire him.” Gokay, who commutes to Lake-Lehman from the Harris- burg area, did not attend Tues- day night's school board meet- ing and could not be reached for comment. The Morning Call also reported some of Gokay's ac- complishments, including school volunteerism awards and exceptional student acclaims. Board President Michelle Coombs referred all questions to Coslett. Former School Board President Charles Boytin and Sheila Gionfriddo also deferred comment. Gokay has been absent from recent School Board meetings, prompting some members to question in November if school policy should mandate adminis- trators to attend the monthly meetings. Administrative partici- pation is crucial to receiving prompt answers to Board is- sues, the members said.
