Cars were washed onto the sidewalks and filled with mud. There was water everywhere, and the stu- dents described the smell as “horrible.” “Even with the masks on you could smell it,” said Caroline Landen, a sophomore. After dropping off their col- lected supplies at designated lo- cations, the six students were off to get their hands dirty. They walked the streets of Staten Is- land searching for anyone in need of help. They helped gut houses, clear debris and clean up the broken pieces of the lives of residents most affected. Landen said there was so much water damage that drywall crumbled in her hands and she was easily able to put her foot through once-strong walls. Miller said the homes were marked with colored fliers placed in windows. A green flier meant the home was safe to live in. Yellow meant the residents needed to be cautious because the home had suffered signifi- Misericordia University alumna Megan Franz, of Bethlehem, and student Jim Miller, of Ashland, wear protective masks and gloves as they ripped down the walls of a damaged home in Staten Island. cant damage. These were the homes the students helped re- pair. Homes with red fliers were a total loss and could not be re- turned to. Miller said most of those homes were completely off their foundations. “They were still in shock,” Landen of the residents they met. “I just don’t think it hit them yet that their entire homes were gone.” In one house, students were asked to break up furniture and LEHMAN TOWNSHIP Tax increase proposed By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent Township supervisors passed the first reading of the proposed 2013 budget at their regular meeting on Nov. 19. Due to the rising cost of fuel, insurance and other expenses, Chairman Dave Sutton said there willbe aslight increase ofa fifth of a mill, from 1.25 to 1.45. The increase equates to roughly an additional $25 per house- hold, he pointed out. A mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of assessed property val- ue. The board plans to adopt the $1.2 million plan at its Decem- ber meeting. In other business, the board voted to refinance a loan used to fund construction of the new road department building. The Pennstar Bank loan, with a bal- ance of $930,000 at a rate of 4.7 percent, will be transferred to Franklin Security Bank at a rate of 3.4 percent.

The board discussed the idea of partnering with the Dallas Ar- ea Municipal Authority to set up a composting site behind the municipal building. DAMA owns a large, portable grinder that could be set up in the back parking lot, the board added. “What this means, folks,” said Sutton, “is that everyone can bring their yard waste here in- stead of burning in the woods.” Sutton said the board would look into whether the property is zoned for that type of use be- fore moving ahead. “This would be a very benefi- cial thing for DAMA and us since DAMA doesn’t have a lot of room,” said Supervisor Doug Ide. The board thanked township EMA coordinator Jim Welby the township’s emergency person- nel for helping with emergen- cies during Hurricane Sandy. The board also passed an up- dated version of the dog barking ordinance. ENTRANCE EXAM Saturday, December 1st, Call to Register recruited some assistance from three men passing by at the time who were excited to help. The men gave the students “I (heart) Staten Island” t-shirts that were sold as part of a fundraiser for the disaster relief. ~ “We laughed a lot and we made it fun but we were focused and we knew what we had to do,” Miller said, “but we always remained respectful. “ Miller also shared that stu- dents encountered language bar- rier difficulties while helping homeowners, but admitted it was never hard to see where help was needed. After finishing at one home, Gough said the girls had a con- versation with the homeowner. The woman thanked them over and over and told the girls she couldn’t express how thankful she was for their help. “They needed a lot of help,” said Landen. “I would want help if something like this had hap- pened to me.” After their long day of helping those in need, the group of vol- unteers traveled 40 minutes out- side the city to Bridgewater, NJ, where Landen’s mother made dinner for the group. Other students who lent a helping hand include Emily Ku- dlacik, Parsippany, NJ; Alexan- dra Graham, Madison, NJ; and Irene Donnelly, Olyphant. Misericordia students are planning other trips to take re- lief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Kristen Samuels, Outreach Coordinator for the university, said the swim team was sched- uled to deliver more supplies to the victims of the storm this past Saturday. “We've got lots of generous students,” said Samuels. She is hoping the university is able to send donations steadily until the students leave campus for Thanksgiving vacation. INVESTOR ALERT!
