Dallas resident Karen Zubkoff was hired to work in the junior-senior high school as a part-time food service worker at a rate of $6.30 per hour. The board approved the hir- ing of the following people pending clearances: Charlotte Williams of Harveys Lake as a clerical and teacher associate substitute and Cindy Cragle of Sweet Valley as a car/van con- tractor/driver. “I'll be very visible and accessible.” Tracey L. Halowich Assistant secondary principal Junior-Senior High School The board also approved hir- ing the following individuals as substitute teachers, pending clearances: Courtney Giuliani, Spanish; Jackee L. Horvath, Family and Consumer Science; Michael Kostrobala, Mathemat- ics. The board also accepted the resignation of food service worker Tracey Kapitula and the retirement of custodian David Davis. In other business, the board approved the final reading of the GASB Statement Number 34 board policy. Business Man- ager Kathleen Williams said the new state mandate is a for- mat change that calls for “changing the school financial statement to report in a forma- tion similar to a business for- mat.” The school district presently uses fund reporting which separates finances into various groups such as the gen- eral fund or the student activi- ties fund. The board accepted a propos- al from The Valuation Advisory Group, Inc., of Atlanta, Ga., to update inventories in order to comply with GASB Statement #34. The initial cost will be $2,875 with an annual cost of $400 for updates.

Chairman Philip Walter said that residents wishing to build a bonfire or campfire on a given night should call the township that morning or preferably 24 hours in advance to request a permit. There will be no charge for the permits. The new ordinance will allow recreational campfires for amusement or enjoyment pur- poses that can be no larger than four square feet. “The big thing is if people would use common sense this wouldn’t happen,” said Walter referring to out-of-control, neg- lected fires or fires that are too close to other residences. “If you have a campfire in your yard you should be able to take care of it. We also want to grill a hamburger without go- ing to jail” added Vice Chair- Teachers (continued from page 1) her eyes when she found out she'd been selected. She re- sponded modestly to Mec- Carthy’s praise of her work. “I'm teaching in a wonderful school with a great group of teachers in a school district that’s second to none. I'm get- ting an award for doing what I love to do — that’s icing on the cake,” she said. While the other schools had one award nominee, Robert Kunkle, Lehman-Jackson Ele- mentary Principal, nominated two teachers, Cortegerone and Williams. Kunkle said the two department heads have been at the school for 35 “faithful” years. “They have been two people I've counted on for their ex- pertise in all types of situa- Tax (continued from page 1) need to pay the correct mu- nicipalities.” Many people relo- cate without giving their em- ployers a new addresses, which means collected taxes are sent to the wrong place, Moskovitz said. Owners or managers are now required to report any adults over the age of 21 along with the full address of the oc- cupied dwelling. Failure to do so results in a $25 to $300 fine plus court costs if convicted. Vi- olators could face jail time of no more than 30 days if they fail to pay. The ordinance also states that the collected infor- mation will be kept confiden- tial. In other business, council approved the purchase of a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria po- lice cruiser by state contract. The cost of the car can’t exceed $25,000.

In many ways, I feel she was a pioneer,” said Mary Tigue, Gate of Heaven Princi- pal. She said Ghannam’s work has affected the program im- mensely — whether providing a variety of ways for children to learn, or taking time to mentor other teachers. “She’s always available and willing to share,” said Tigue. Asked to define the qualities that make a teacher stand out, Mundy said intelligence, warmth, and innate talent top the list, but collegiality tips the balance. “To share information about what works in the classroom and accept suggestions, really makes them outstanding teachers. Instead of having 10 tricks — they end up having 100, or 1,000.” : will be held on February 3. Fur exchange man, Frank Wagner. Solicitor - Michael Melnick criminal and civil penalties for violating the new ordinance will be as follows: Criminal penalties; not less than $100 and no more than $2,500 and/or imprisonment up to 90 days. Civil penalties; not to exceed $10,000 per day for each viola- tion. The township will be able to seek civil penalties for a cata- strophic event such as an envi- ronmental disaster, said Mel- nick. “We're talking about if a blaze really got out of control” he said. Wagner said the most trouble the township has had is wi contractors burning constru tion debris and leaving their fires unattended when they go home for the night. Melnick said that he will co- ordinate the new ordinance with the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) and have it completed by the next Board of Supervisors meeting, which FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Joe Archavage of Hunlock Creek held some of the grey and red fox pelts he brought to to Cook's Store to show a buyer from LTA Fur Trading Co.
