Sunday, February 25, 2007 NEWS THE POST PAGE 9 TRASH Continued from Page 1 ‘Connie Scott believes every- one is doing a good job with the trash collection. “They’re always on-time pick- ing up the garbage and they never leave anything sitting there,” she said. “I think the prices went up only because gas and landfill pric- es went up.” Luzerne County Solid Waste Management does have some helpful hints for those wishing cut back on household garbage. They suggest putting all alumi- num, cardboard, glass, grass clip- pings, office paper waste, plas- tics, steel cans and yard waste in- to the recycling collection bins for pick up. 10-: 7 HIGH SCHOOL Continued from Page 1 school is too small. His son, who is a freshman, takes a class with 23 other students in a storage closet off the gym, he said. “It’s beyond ridiculous,” he said. “That’s a death trap waiting to happen.” Board member Richard Cos- lett pointed out that with the closing of most Catholic schools in the area, the need to make room for the anticipated enroll- ment increase is greater than ev- er. Board member Karen Kyle said the number of students who enroll in kindergarten each year is a prediction into the future population numbers of the mid- dle school and the high school. “We have to make these tough $200 off all when you book at our grand opéning choices,” she said. “I'd rather not make them.” : District resident Andy Poplarz asked the board if the new school would include a shop class for hands-on training. “There’s a lot of kids out there, that learn by using their hands, by learning what they can construct,” he said. Kyle said the school’s new edu- cational program would include a drafting lab, graphic arts lab, wood and electronics technolo- gy lab, a 3-D design studio, a drawing and painting studio, and computer lab. The program would also expand the family and consumer sciences depart- ment, and the performing arts area. Private contractor Dick Mor- gan spoke out against the plans to build a new school, suggesti- ng instead, to build an addition above the current school.

Rohrbaugh pointed out that the building in the picture was ac- tually Crabtree’s Mechanicsburg office. , Morgan said he was “blown off” by most of the board mem- bers at the last public meeting. “I told them I didn’t believe they knew what they were do- ing,” he said. “This is too big of a project for nine people to make that kind of decision, with that much money — taxpayer’s mon- ey.” Dallas resident Melissa Janos- ki asked if needed improvements would be still be done at Dallas Elementary School. Assistant superintendent Paul Reinert ex- plained that even though the ele- mentary school has many issues that need to be addressed, the first priority is taking care of the high school and to add 10 addi- tional classrooms to Wycallis Elementary School. Former Wyoming Valley West science teacher, Joe Habersky compared the schools to the hu- man body. “It’s like a body going into an emergency room. We're in an emergency right now,” he said. “There are different things that are wrong with the ‘body’. You have to consider what to stabi- lize that is the most important. It seems to be the high school.” Efficient use of natural re- sources and energy conservation should also be considered in the building plans, he said. “Once we get it built, what's going to save us the most money?” Habersky com- mended the board for keeping the public informed. “Theyre ex- tremely open, as well as the ad- ministration, to our needs.” Although most seats in the ad- ministration building’s meeting room were filled, board president Maureen Matiska said she expect- ed a bigger crowd, commenting on the low turnout also at recent public meetings. " “For those of you who believe in it, you need to talk it,” Matiska said, adding that the best adver- tisement is word-of-mouth. “You need to tell people we need it, and that you understand why, because you've been here,” she stressed. “People need to understand, these are not frivolous projects.” @ a V-T | Pri ” X J het Lt "A Family Owned and Operated Personal Care Home That Offers That Personal Attention You Deserve." « Laser Hair Reduction * Photo Rejuvenation * Cellulite Reduction Micropeels Located on Main Road in Sweet Valley Just 10 Minutes from Dallas: Pd Phone (570) 477-3 Carol S.
