ELSD Starts New Year
By Melinda Darrow

By the time this article goes to print, school should have started at Elk Lake. The August 21 Elk Lake/SCCTC school board meeting was riddled with discussions pertinent to the start of a new year.

The 2007/2008 school year will begin with some difference in staff than 2006/2007. Changes announced at the August meeting included three resignations, two hirings, and two continuations. The board accepted, with regret, the resignation of John Joseph, from both a fifth grade position and from his role as Jr. Varsity girls’ soccer assistant coach. The resignation of Angel Severcool from an elementary special education position was also regretfully accepted. Lesley Tewkesbury was approved to fill a math position in the middle school, and Tracey Morraza to fill a position working with non-IEP students in the Career Center. Alan Caines will continue in the role of assistant principal, and Gerry Mulkerin, who filled a one-on-one associate position at the end of last year on a substitute basis, will retain the position full time.

In order to be hired at the district, prospective staff now have to undergo additional screening. Beginning April 1 it became mandatory, as part of the School Code, that new employees in Pennsylvania schools undergo an FBI background check in addition to the state Criminal Records check and the Child Abuse clearance already in place. This mandate was discussed at the meeting at some length, in the context of Transportation Policy changes to accommodate it. All newly hired school employees who will have contact with children must undergo this check, including contracted drivers and their subcontracted employees. Concern was raised that this might make it even more difficult to find bus drivers, though the person raising it did clarify that student safety is, of course, paramount. Further clarification of this law was provided as well. People can be employed provisionally while awaiting results. As for volunteers and chaperones, at least at the elementary level, they do have clearances to serve in this capacity.

Other policies came under consideration at the meeting as well. The Health and Safety program, given to the board for consideration in July, was approved. It involves information regarding general safety rules, slip, trip, and fall prevention, a return to work policy, accident reporting procedures, and new employee training. A Proof of Residency Policy was recommended by auditors at the last audit. This would require renters to prove residency by showing a utility bill, and owners to show proof of taxes or a deed. Children coming to the district through foster care placement would require a letter from the placing agency. This policy was given to the board for review, and will be considered more at the September meeting. At a previous meeting the board had agreed to allow qualified seniors, who met very specific criteria, to serve as adult lifeguards. At this meeting they approved allowing 16-year old students, again meeting very specific criteria, to serve as lifeguards at all, which hitherto they could not do. This, it is hoped, will allow the pool to remain as accessible as possible to students and the public.

A new dual enrollment program, in addition to the one already in place, is being considered.

The existing program is with LCCC, utilizes educators already in the school, and gives credit for certain classes taken on school grounds. The new program, offered to juniors and seniors, would be through Lackawanna College, and very little would happen at Elk Lake. It allows for a maximum of 12 college credits to be taken in a calendar year, offered at a reduced tuition rate, which courses count for high school credit as well. It would provide students with a choice of dual enrollment options, with both versions achieving the same basic end-college credits in high school.

Alternate schooling in another of its forms was also discussed at the meeting. Mr. Sible announced that the intermediate unit, in its own meeting that same evening, mentioned the possibility of starting up its own cyber-school. This would allow the district to offer this option as an alternative to students who currently work with outside cyber-school vendors. While it would still be the family's decision, students utilizing the I.U. school would allow the District to save money. Outside vendors often are reimbursed by schools at rates much greater than the service costs. The I.U. would not be looking to make money, and would thus be able to offer the service to districts for less money.

Within the realm of cyber-developments, the athletic schedule has undergone a technological upgrade. Parents can now view this schedule at www.highschoolsports.net. At this site they can also register to receive updates in their e-mail. In the future they may be able to receive them on cell-phones.

Positive things were also reported for the start of the year at the Career Center. The SCCTC construction project is progressing well. Members of the board toured the facility prior to the meeting's start. The center has its highest enrollment yet this year – 341 people. The cosmetology clinic will be opening, and hours will be put on the website.

COG Finds New Site
By Barbara Whitehead

The COG Building Committee has been diligently searching, for quite some time, for a site for a new COG home. At the August 21 meeting, the committee presented to the membership an offer for their approval. The committee had been trying to find a site that would be centrally located and large enough to allow for office space and a meeting room as well as ample parking. After a long search, with many sites being investigated, the committee recommended that a sale proposal for a parcel on Rte. 706 be approved. The parcel is just over five acres, and straddles Bridgewater and New Milford Townships. A driveway permit exists. There was a holdup, as a power line runs through the property and it needed to be ascertained whether this would be a problem; it won’t, as the property is large enough for COG’s needs while allowing a fifteen-foot right-of-way to Penelec.

DEP and the county Planning Commission need to approve subdivision of the property, but it is expected that they will.

The property owner has paid for the necessary permits and perc tests, and two appraisals have been obtained. The owner was willing to commit to a signed sales agreement; after discussion, a motion carried to proceed. The deal should be finalized in about 90 days.

The rationale for purchasing property is that grant funding and low-interest loans are available to finance new (larger) offices, but the state requires that the property be owned by COG; grant funding would not be possible if the property were leased. Grant funding will not pay for the entire building, but a substantial portion of the cost should be covered, with low-interest loan funding sought to cover the difference.

The type of building being considered is a modular, roughly 3,000 square feet. Aside from offices and a conference room, there is the possibility of adding on additional rental units, and also being considered is a full basement, which would allow room for storage and COG’s sign-making equipment. Whatever type of building is decided on, it will go out to bid.

Chairman Elliot Ross commented that COG, as an organization, has a lot of talent and experience to draw on, as well as some useful knowledge – what to do and what not to do, all of which could be tapped into while the building is in the design phase.

In other business, COG’s insurance policy renews September 1. The membership approved paying yearly, rather than monthly, which will save the cost of installment fees. And, the three committees will be billed separately, as the sewage committee’s cost is eligible for reimbursement.

The sewage committee reported they are dealing with a few problems, but nothing out of the ordinary. New work is somewhat slow at this time. The committee is trying to get an operation maintenance agreement signed in Jackson Township, and chair Harvey Rosenkrans suggested that the committee sit down and go over a list of violations. And, Mr. Rosenkrans said that he has been contacted by an individual interested in employment.

The third-party building inspector used by COG is in the process of a personnel change. The inspector who had been serving in the area was transferred, and a new inspector assigned. Chair Ted Plevinsky said that the new inspector has been reorganizing after a review of cases.

The new inspector was handling a violation in Hallstead Boro where an in-ground pool was installed without a permit. A scheduled court date had been postponed. The owner did obtain a permit (after the fact), and the court date has been rescheduled.

Mr. Plevinsky said that the inspectors make it a practice to be at the COG offices each morning from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. to meet with contractors and/or review plans. Whenever possible, they try to be back in the office again by 3 or 4 p.m.

Zoning discussion continued, as there are some items that need to be considered.

The Northern Tier Coalition, of which many of COG’s members are also members, is in the process of adopting a comprehensive plan, which includes zoning. Hearings will be held next month for public comment and the plan is expected to be adopted within a few months.

One question was, would COG form a separate committee to oversee zoning, including the hiring of a zoning officer? Most likely, zoning would fall under the Codes umbrella rather than a separate committee, with payroll, etc. being handled the way Codes is. The zoning officer would need training, with his/her salary funded through permit fees. A list of possible candidates for the position would need to be compiled, or possibly advertised.

Another question was, there are some municipalities in the coalition who are not members of COG. How then to handle zoning issues that might arise in them? Would the coalition itself need to become a member of COG, or should those municipalities be required to join the codes committee? If the coalition is required to join COG, those members who already belong to COG could end up paying double dues.

Discussion is ongoing of these and other questions.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 18, at 7 p.m. in COG’s offices in New Milford.

No Decision On Oakland Dam
By Barbara Whitehead

The August meeting of the Oakland Boro Council was to have been held on the 9th and could not take place due to lack of a quorum; it was held instead on the 23rd.

No decision has been made as of yet about what to do about the hole in the dam that spans the Susquehanna River between Oakland and Susquehanna Boros. Two engineers did conduct an inspection on August 9, and “numerous” state and federal agencies are also involved. As the hole is where a fish ladder is located, one of those agencies is the Fish and Boat Commission. The dam was not intended for flood control, so there is not too much concern about the hole. Although the river was said to be running somewhat lower than usual, the situation will not change any flood stages.

During review of the bill list, a question was asked about a bill for rental of a roller. The boro did have one, but it was damaged in the flood and they have been unable to locate a new motor for it. Roadmaster Jack Agler said that he is still looking for a motor.

Mayor Dudley reported that there had not been a lot of police coverage during July; the main issues addressed were complaints about kids being on the streets well past midnight.

A resident was present about an ongoing vandalism problem; the mayor promised that Officer Brush would contact him the next day.

Another resident, who had attended the last few meetings to complain about a parking problem was also present. Mayor Dudley said that the boro police had checked into the situation and did not find anything illegal. As it is a state road, PennDOT had also been contacted, as had the State Police. As long as the vehicles are not being parked on the sidewalk or out into the road, there is no violation. Council suggested that resident contact the school’s business manager with concerns about the site in question being used as a bus stop.

All council members with the exception of Dave Dibble have completed NIMS training, and he is in the process of completing it.

A motion carried to adopt a resolution in support of the Caring Club. The process to achieve certified non-profit status is somewhat involved and could take years. The resolution allows the club to participate in fundraising efforts for various boro projects.

At prior meetings council had discussed what was being paid for flaggers for road work. The contractor the boro regularly uses hires his own, at a cost of $25/hour to the boro. It was explained that the contractor prefers to hire his own, experienced flaggers as the work goes faster when the flaggers know what they are doing, and the other workers do not have to worry about their safety; one of the flaggers he uses regularly is, in fact, certified. The flaggers are paid $10/hour, with the difference going towards the contractor’s costs for liability insurance and workmen’s comp. The discussion began when it was asked if the boro couldn’t save money by hiring the flaggers themselves, and pay only the $10/hour. Temporary workers would be covered under the boro’s liability insurance, but if workmen’s comp needed to be paid, it would increase what the boro presently pays. So, the question was, would it be to the boro’s advantage to hire the flaggers themselves, or continue with the practice of the contractor hiring them. Council will continue to look into it.

Discussion continued on the boro’s new garage. Funding that had been expected from rental of the building at the dam site has not come through, so the building will have to be funded through a loan. Plans should be ready for approval by the next meeting; if not, a special meeting may be held to approve them so that the bidding process can start.

The boro still has not received the parks improvement grant funding that it has been awarded. The process, Mayor Dudley said, is very frustrating. It was noted that a number of residents who pledged donations towards the project have not followed through on their promises.

Penelec was contacted about a storm damaged tree near the Walnut and Prospect intersection; part of it is on the overhead electric lines. Tree trimming is scheduled every four years, but in a case like this, the forestry department can be contacted.

The streets committee was asked to check the area at the intersection of Walnut and State Streets; water is undermining the road and they will see if a sluice is needed.

A representative from Exeter Supply will be attending the next meeting; they deal in water meter systems and will be making a presentation.

And, a motion carried to make a donation to a fund set up for the children of the late Larry Travis; Mr. Travis had been a boro resident who always gave freely of his time and talents to those in need, the boro included.

The meeting adjourned to an executive session to discuss a legal issue.

“Do Not Call” List Renewal Reminder

Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) reminds Pennsylvania telephone subscribers that those who registered for the state’s “Do Not Call” list when it was first created five years ago need to renew their registration.

The Do Not Call law, which was enacted by the General Assembly in 2002 provides Pennsylvanians with a means of avoiding unwanted phone calls from telemarketers or other solicitors. However, registration is only valid for five years from the date of initial registration.

The program has been very popular among Pennsylvanians whose homes have been disturbed by the nuisance of phone calls from telemarketers. Nearly one million telephone subscribers registered for the state’s Do Not Call list in the first two weeks, and millions more have registered in the five years since its enactment.

The list is updated quarterly, so if a citizen registered in 2002, he or she must re-register by September 15, 2007, or the phone number will expire on November 1, 2007. This applies to both residential landline and wireless telephone numbers.

For information on how to register or update your registration for the Do Not Call list, contact Major’s district offices, visit her Web site at RepMajor.com or call 1-888-777-3406.

Commissioners Hear Of Election Concerns
By Vera Scroggins

All three Commissioners, Loomis, Kelly and Warren were present at the regular meeting on August 22. All motions on the agenda were approved with Commissioner Warren voting nay on the eighth motion, Resolution 2007-23, concerning the payment to the majority inspector of elections normally paid to the minority inspector, to accompany the judge of elections when transmitting the returns of the elections to the Courthouse.

Public comment included John Hoffman, Chairman of the Democratic Party, who questioned whether there is medical protocol for pregnant prisoners, so no births occur in the prison. He was assured by the commissioners there was such protocol.

Hoffman also recently sent the board concerns about the safety of the ballots in the last primary and wanted plans and safeguards to assure ballot safety in the upcoming election.

Hoffman questioned the legality of having Marion O'Malley, who is working on Commissioner Kelly's campaign for reelection, working with the ballot process. He felt this is conflict of interest. Commissioner Kelly and Sylvia Beamer assured him that O'Malley has been removed from the ballot process. Hoffman encouraged that safeguards be implemented for a "fair and trouble-free election" this coming November.

Commissioner Kelly assured all that "everyone did the best job given the circumstances; every precaution is taken." Kelly directed any questions about the election process be fielded to Gary Wilder, Voter Registrar. Commissioner Loomis indicated that Wilder has "made corrections in the process" and Gary and Laura Watts, Voter Registration Clerk," will "make all due diligence in this matter." Gary and Laura will check and cross-check the election process and "make sure the upcoming election will be a reputable election."

Vera Scroggins questioned road repairs and the poor conditions of many roads with numerous potholes. She asked why it takes so long for the repairs, anywhere from weeks to months. Commissioner Loomis referred her to the local township meetings. There are backlogs because of last year's flooding, and in Bridgewater Township there is need for another grader operator. The present operator is out on disability.

The county prison well is working again. The well was tested and the water was found acceptable. There is an estimate of $4792. from Al Luce to put in a two-horsepower pump to increase pump output.

The Department of Corrections has reported that our county prison is, for the first time, in 100% full compliance. This achievement will be commemorated on October 4 at 10:00 a.m. with an award presentation in the jail gymnasium. This is open to the media and public.
