LAKE-LEHMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT Resident wants emergency plan for drilling By REBECCA BRIA rbria@timesleader.com Michelle Boice voiced con- cern Monday evening at the Lake-Lehman School Board meeting that a natural gas drilling company slated to drill in the area has yet to contact the school district. Boice, of Harveys Lake, said she learned at the school board’s work session last week that EnCana Oil and Gas Inc. has not contact- ed the district with emergen- cy plans and traffic plans. EnCana has received per- mits for three natural gas drilling wells in the school district. The wells will be lo- cated in Fairmount, Lake and Lehman townships. Boice is concerned that traffic from the drilling will compete with school buses for space on small, rural roads in the district. “Get involved in this fight,” Boice said. “Demand accountability from these people.” Superintendent James McGovern said he contacted EnCana last Friday but has not yet heard back from them, noting that he expects to. McGovern said the district is more than willing to sit down at the table to discuss an emergency plan and to address traffic concerns. Parent shares concerns of new coach Mike Stuart, who has a son in the district’s wrestling program, told the board that none of the wrestling coach- es have been contacted yet by Thomas Williams, who was hired last month as the new head wrestling coach. Board president Moderno Rossi said he had contacted the coaches. Stuart said they wanted to be contacted by Williams himself. Rossi said he would let Williams know that.
