Sunday, June 20, 2010 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 13 DALLAS BOROUGH Council approves solicitor to draft sex offender ordinance @® By REBECCA BRIA rbria@timesleader.com Council approved on June 16 for the solicitor to draft a sex offender ordinance. Solicitor Attorney Jeffrey Malak said the ordinance will be in compliance with a 2009 U.S. District Court case (Fross vs. County of Alleghany) and the Pennsylvania Megan’s Law II (Megan’s Law was re-enact- ed in 2000 after portions of Megan's Law were previously found to be unconstitutional). Malak explained that in Fross vs. County of Alleghany, it was found to be illegal to re- strict sex offenders to live in certain municipal zones. Malak said the ordinance would have reasonable restric- tions on where a sex offender can live, including near child- care facilities, community cen- ters, public parks and schools. Increase, decrease in money paid for projects An increase of $6,538 to be paid to Bryertech Roofing, LLC, of Lock Haven, was ap- proved for work on the bor- ough building’s partial roof re- aplacement project. The new Qa total with Bryertech is $16,577.43 and payment for the amount was authorized. Council President Lee Eck- ert said the roof had rotted beams and needed more work than originally thought. Malak said the ordinance would have reasonable restrictions on where a sex offender can live, including near childcare facil- ities, community centers, public parks and schools. In a separate motion, a de- crease in payment in the amount of $448 to Popple Construction was approved for drainage improvement work completed on Spring Street. The new total contract amount with Popple is $96,114. Borough manager Tracey Carr said Popple had to use less curbing than originally es- timated. A second payment to Popple for the work was approved in the amount of $11,357.06. Payments authorized Payment in the amount of $8,245 to Stell Enterprises, of Plains, was authorized for con- tractual refuse container ser- vices provided for the 2010 Spring Clean Up Project. A separate payment in the amount of $476.92 was autho- rized to T. Brennan Heavy Equipment, of Carbondale, for work completed on the Eliza- beth Street storm sewer repair project. Special project engineer hired Gregory A. Supey, of ARRO Engineering & Environmental Consultants, was hired as spe- cial project engineer at a rate of $100 per hour. Appointment to DAMA Board affirmed The appointment of John Oliver to fill the vacancy on the Dallas Area Municipal Au- thority Board of Directors was affirmed and restated. Oliver is filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Kenneth Rogers. Oliver will serve the remaining term to expire Dec. 31, 2011. Several charitable donations approved Charitable donations from the 2010 budget were ap- proved as follows: S.P.C.A., $500; Back Mountain Memo- rial Library, $2,500; and Dal- las Fire and Ambulance, $6,000. Councilman Robert Edgerton said he abstained from the vote because he is on the board of the S.P.C.A. of Lu- zerne County. Fireworks, open burning illegal Mayor Timothy Carroll re- minded residents in his may- or’s report that both fireworks and open burning are prohib- ited in the borough. CHANGE Continued from Page 1 plans but that they all recycle. Janoski, who was at the meet- ing, said she was glad she was . wrong and that she would write | another letter to correct it. Ja- | noski said, however, that she was told that Dallas Elementary School does not recycle. . Kraynack said paper and card- board are picked up from the elementary school daily during the school year. At the suggesti- on of school board member Ka- ren Kyle, Kraynack agreed to speak to Dallas Elementary Principal Tom Traver about the matter. Former teacher concerned for wellness program uo Larry Schuler, a retired phys- al education and wellness teacher at the high school, ad- dressed the board with con- cerns about the district’s well- ness program. Schuler men- tioned plans of reducing the wellness program director posi- tion to part-time. He said he knows the district does a good job of preparing students for col- lege but that they also need to prepare them for life. Wycallis Elementary Princi- pal Kathleen McCarthy said stu- dents in grades one through five have a wellness lesson once a week in addition to physical ac- tivity. Dallas High School Principal Jeffrey Shaffer noted that 11th- graders have their body mass in- dex analyzed by the school nurse and said the food service workers monitor calorie counts on the ala carte menus. Galicki said no programs will be diminished due to the well- ness director position. He and board president Bruce Goerin- ger thanked Schuler for his com- ments. Salaries approved Salaries were approved for as- sistant superintendent Paul Re- inert and the director of technol- ogy William Gartrell for the 2010-11 contract year. Reinert’s salary will increase to $97,700 from $95,200 in 2009-10. Gartrell’s salary will in- crease to $86,000 from $84,000 in 2009-10. Current salaries continue The board approved to con- tinue the current salaries of su- perintendent Galicki and busi- ness manager Grant Palfey until a successor agreement can be negotiated with them regarding future salaries and other com- pensation. In a separate motion, the board also approved to continue the current salaries of all admin- istrators until a successor agree- ment is concluded with them. Reimbursements approved Travel reimbursements from the 2009-10 winter athletic sea- son were approved for four scorers and timers in the amount of $896.83. In May, Wayne Hughes, a scorekeeper for the wrestling team for the past 35 years, asked the board to reverse its decision not to compensate scorers and timers for gas mileage. Hughes, who was also a teacher in the district for 30 years, said he and three others did not receive mileage reimbursement to away games during the 2009-10 win- ter sports season. He said he was paid 55 cents a mile during the 2008-09 winter sports sea- son. Palfey previously said in years past the district always paid for mileage out of the athletic fund. Palfey said he had denied it this time with the understanding in March 2009 that mileage would no longer be reimbursed for away games. Personnel hired The following people were hired: Bridget Gavin, as full- time itinerant vision support teacher, at a salary of $35,295; and Tom Kilduff, as the senior high golf coach, at a salary to be consistent with the collective bargaining agreement between the school district and the Dal- las School District Education Association. Retirees recognized Anne Seitz and Frank Maria- no were recognized by the board upon their retirement from the school district. Seitz worked as the wellness director at the middle school for 36 years. Mariano spent 19 years in education, serving as the dis- trict’s director of special educa- tion for the past four. Student congratulated Kelly Young, who just com- pleted third-grade at Wycallis Elementary School, was honor- ed by the board for placing first in a statewide poster contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania Dental Association. Young was awarded a $1,000 savings bond. In addition, her classroom teacher Kim Socash and her school each received $250. Special meeting to be held A special voting meeting of the board will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 24 in the administration building. 4 PUZILE ANSWERS — King Crossword — Answers Solution time: 21 mins.

Residents have potted over 500 zucchini and cucumber seeds which will be adopted by family members and staff to plan at home. During a harvest season, a mock “County Fair” is planned with various contests and cooking demonstrations, fea- turing the home-grown pro- duce. The Victory Garden will fea- ture herbs and vegetables that will be prepared on site and served with residents’ meals. Plans also include a beautiful array of colorful hanging bas- kets of flowers around the backyard patio garden. Planting supplies were do- nated by Herold’s Farm.
