6 Lebanon Daily News, Monday, March 3,1975 Heidelberg Twp. Sewage System Discussion Held Advisory Committee For Schools Formed By RUTH A. BUCHER Schaefferstown Correspondent SCHAEFFERSTOWN The Heidelberg Township Municipal Authority held its monthly meeting Friday evening in the township office, Main Street and Lancaster Avenue, Schaefferstown. Township Solicitor Robert Rowe gave report on the progress being made on the township's proposed sewage project. Two representatives of Buchart-Horn in Harrisburg which is aiding the township in the sewage project, reported that the rating the township received from the Department of Environmental Resources could be raised, thereby getting the sewage system established in the community at a faster rate.

A discussion was held regarding the sewage permit which was received by the township in the name of the Heidelberg Township Supervisors. It was felt by those attending that the name should be changed to that of the Heidelberg Township Municipal Authority, since this governing body is actually heading the sewage project for the township. Sketched plans of the proposed sewage system were then reviewed, showing the areas which would be covered by the sewage plant: namely. Schaefferstown. Kleinfeltersville, andFlintville.

The Authority members were then advised by the representatives to set a date for a township public meeting, at which time the residents of the community would be informed of the general set-up of the proposed sewage system, the properties to be affected, the cost of the system, and other details relating to the installation of the sewage plant. Rowe informed the representatives of the Buchart- Hom firm that Hammer Creek, which was to be a water source for the sewage plant, was classified as a conservation stream by the Department of Environmental Resources. It was agreed it would be beneficial to have the water in this stream analyzed, thereby being informed of the present pollution rate of this stream. A discussion was held regarding the firm which should conduct the analysis of the water; however, no definite firm was named to perform this operation. In other business, a motion was made and seconded to accept the resignation of R.

Dennis Hollinger as a member of the Authority. The Authority members then decided to submit the name of Thomas Bass to the township supervisors as a replacement for Hollinger. Possible dates and locations for the township public meeting for the sewage system were discussed. The date and location for this meeting will be related to the residents of the community at a later date. PINE GROVE Twenty- seven persons attended the first community involvement committee meeting in the Pine Grove Middle School cafeteria recently.

Stephen Vak, assistant superintendent of schools, was in charge, assisted by Ralph Morgan, a member of the Schuylkill County Intermediate Unit No. 29. The group is the Community Advisory Committee, comprised mostly of parents. The Community Advisory Committee will get the problems, the gripes as well as the solutions, presenting a picture of what the Pine Grove Area schools are really doing. The first three steps until May of this year for the Community Advisory Committee will be devoted to the development of goals and objectives, followed by the development of the survevs and then presenting them for analysis of the data from June to September.

In October the report will be prepared. This will include the three different committee reports, including Community Advisory, a committee of the faculty and a committee bythe students. In November, the report will be presented to the Pine Grove Area School Board. From November 1975 to May 1976, a plan will be developed to meet the needs and in May the long range plan will be approved. In June 1976, the approved plan will be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

The plan will be implemented in September 1976. It will take three years, from September 1976 to 1979 to evaluate the plan. The Community Advisory Committee got right down to business on Wednesday evening to develop the first step, goals and objectives. Before breaking up into four groups, some goals of Education Quality assessment were suggested, such as self esteem, understanding others, basic skills, positive attitude toward learning, citizenship, health habits, creativity, vocational attitude and knowledge, human accomplishments, or world of change. With each group having a note taker and spending about an hour of this first step, the next order was a general session with the four groups setting forth some of their goals.

Mrs. Richard Hayes reported that basic skills, reading, writing and arithmetic, was the prime objective of her group. Other goals discussed were preparation for high school graduates, either going into a vocation or entering college and a minimum for classroom size. Florence Strouphauer presented the report of her group and here also the first objective was to get down to basics, preparing students in reading and other necessary skills. A slightly different discussion involved the group of Fred Schwer.

There was much concern for reasons why the graduates of the high school or even college did not remain in Pine Grove. Their concern was to find the goal which would have them remain in the area. One member of this group said, "There is nothing here for them." Adult education was another objective sought by this group. There was a discussion of the facilities available to adults in the two vo-tech schools.
