GNA considers pay freezes for teachers, other cuts NANTICOKE – Greater Nanticoke Area School Board is bracing for possible budget cuts in the district, school officials said at the board meeting Thursday night. The board is waiting to see if Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget passes. School Board President Robert Raineri said he may be asking the teachers and support personnel unions to take a pay freeze on their normal 2-percent-to-3-percent annual increase in salary. Superintendent Anthony Perrone said the district will be just fine one way or the other. Perrone also maintains officials can make up the difference if the cuts are in the $1 million to $1.5 million range. Assistant Principal John Gorham credited three students for bringing one of the best antibullying programs in the country to the school. Gorham said students Thomsina Watson, Brook Chapin and Hanna Rubaski “were instrumental in researching programs and ultimately finding the best program out there‌ and they did.â€? The students brought a program called Teen Truth Live, an award winning anti-bullying program that also deals with drug abuse and self-esteem. The program is a California based program, featuring award winning producer and director Erahm Christopher of Canada. The program has already reached more than 3 million students.

Council awards contract for Main Street demolition EDWARDSVILLE – Main Street in Edwardsville is undergoing a much anticipated facelift, thanks to a federal Neighborhood Revitalization grant. The borough council Thursday night awarded a $118,000 demolition contract to Popple Construction of Wilkes-Barre as part of the $1 million project. “I don’t think we’re going to be making too many friends along Main Street until at least fall,� said council President David Stockla. “But once all the work is complete, it will have been worth it.� Councilman Gary Mack said several more buildings in advanced states of disrepair would be demolished along Main Street with a goal to attract new business to the borough’s main thoroughfare. Mayor Bernard Dubaskas announced the borough police department recently purchased two new Tasers with a grant provided from a state fund consisting of seized drug money. He also said that state funding for larger municipal expenditures for items such as cruisers has “all but dried up.� Council voted to pass an ordinance banning the sale of bath salts in the community in advance of anticipated statewide legislation. “We don’t know when the state might act on this,� Mack
Osborne Drive residents complain about road JENKINS TWP. – Ten neighbors from Osborne Drive of Willow View invited the township supervisors Thursday night to inspect the condition of their road. The residents, speaking during the supervisors’ monthly meeting, said in their statement, “There is barely a road left.� The condition is poor compared to the section of Osborne Drive covered by Yatesville, they said. Other residents also mentioned road conditions and questioned when a list of projects will be identified for the spring. Supervisor Chairman Joseph T. Zelonis and the other supervisors plan to check out the roads by the end of the month. Officials also announced the beginning of yard waste pickup on Thursdays until mid-November. Yard waste must be in open containers with small branches tied in bundles. The Jenkins Township Lions Club Easter egg hunt will be held Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Amanda Myrkalo
