One hundred fifty na- tional PLA winners will be chosen 'this spring to receive $1,000 college scholarships “Sara exemplifies the out- standing qualities necessary to become a leader in today’s world,” said Gokay. “She is in- telligent, well spoken and is in- volved a wide range of ex- tracurricular activities.

Housing proposed for middle school By KALEN CHURCHER For The Post LEHMAN TWP. — During Tuesday’s School Board work session, Bill Jones of Volun- teers of America asked the board to consider the possibili- ty of turning the former Lake- Lehman Middle School into subsidized housing for the eld- erly. ‘Volunteers of America is in the process of examining costs and designs for the refurbish- ment and is studying elderly population growth in the Back Mountain. It also must wait for financial support from the U.S. Department of Housing And Urban Development. In October 2002, Volunteers of America unveiled a similar building in Wilkes-Barre. The Palmer House, formerly the Palmer Elementary School, was renovated to create 28 one- bedroom apartments. It also in- cludes a commercial kitchen and dining room, large commu- nity room, offices and meeting areas. Jones admitted the process for Volunteers of America to ac- quire the building could be a long one, but it is possible the School District could be reim- bursed for the processing time. Though the School Board continues to grapple with how it will handle the contents of the building, Solicitor Charles Coslett said removal could be- come a condition of the final contract, with responsibility placed on the buyer. Also Tuesday, the School Board agreed to vote next week to authorize an inspec- tion: of several roofs within the district. The $2,880 price tag, quoted by Mark Sobeck Roof Consulting, is “cheap insur- ance” to insure the life ex- pectancy of the roofs, said Ben Schall, buildings and grounds Supervisor. A recent examination indicat- ed multiple small holes in the rubberized roof covering part of the junior-senior high school. Should the holes stretch, major roofing problems and leaks could occur. In other business: e The following students were honored as students of the month by co-high school principal Robert Roberts: Bryan Poepperling, James Sutton, Bri- an Cardillo, Mandy Boyle, Patrick McMahon and Sara Chmura. e Lake-Lehman’s School Board will hold its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in the music room of the Lehman- Jackson Elementary School. ® The School Board’s reorga- nizational meeting will be at 6 p.m. Dec. 2. At that time, new School Board members will be sworn in and a new slate of offi- cers will be chosen. Tell our advertisers you saw them in The Post. They'll appreciate it, and so will we.
