BLOOMING GROVE - Pennsylvania State Police are looking a man who, dressed as police officer, stopped a 28-year-old-woman driver Monday night and then punched her in the mouth through her car window.

The woman escaped from the incident, which took place on Route 402, south of the I-84 exit.

The man is described as about 5'10" tall with a medium build. He was clean-shaven and appeared to be about 30 years old. At the time he was wearing a dark blue uniform with a yellow patch on the right sleeve and a dark blue baseball style cap, and possibly a gun belt. He was driving a white or light colored car with rotating red and blue lights on the roof.

Anyone who has encountered a similar situation or has more information about this incident is urged to contact the state police at Blooming Grove at 570/775-7374.

WHITE LAKE - Over-the-phone medical training for Sullivan County dispatchers has paid off in the recent saving of two or more lives during calls to the county's emergency dispatch center, Sullivan 911 coordinator Dave Kimmel reported last week.

Kimmel told the Legislature's public safety committee that dispatchers had instructed one caller on CPR techniques after an apparent drowning of a child in a residential pool. After resuscitation measures were taken, Kimmel said the dispatcher "could hear the (revived) baby crying in the background."

In another incident a dispatcher successfully advised how to initiate the Heimlich choking procedure.

LACKAWAXEN - A former California medical supplies business woman, who this year took on the role of trying to make township government more efficient in Lackawaxen, has decided to move on.

Michelle Hansen's last day was Monday. She said that her departure was an amicable one, but that it was time to go. "I'm a doer and I can't be a doer here," she said.

Hansen, who reorganized township office procedures, designed the township Internet site and filled in as clerk for several months, stirred some controversy earlier this year when residents questioned her role in planning future use of township parks and buildings.

HURLEYVILLE - Legislator Jodi Goodman (RC -6) has scheduled a September 28 public hearing for additional comments on the county's decision to raze a house adjoining the county museum in Hurleyville.

Legislators turned down a prospective house buyer to make the decision, after agreeing that parking and traffic safety concerns about the property would make the sale inappropriate.

Public works committee chair Rodney Gaebel (RC-5) was critical about the apparent backtracking in reopening the discussion last week. "This appears to be a case of a lack of testicular fortitude," he told the committee.
