WILKES-BARRE First it was Coughlin High in Wilkes-Barre, now administrators say there are structual concerns with a second high school in the city. Some parents are worried about safety and the districts image.
Orange fences went up outside Meyers High School yesterday afternoon as a safety precaution about a crumbling facade.
Because some of the entrances are now blocked off, the Wilkes-Barre area superintendent said summer school will not be held there.
Students at Meyers High School are counting down the last two weeks of class until their summer vacation.
But many of the kids and their parents cant help but notice the bright orange fences and the signs directing them away from the sides of the school and some of the entrances.
The Wilkes-Barre Area School District superintendent says the fences went up around parts of Meyers High School on Carey Avenue because a recent review revealed structural concerns over the facade.
Its the same reason why fences and barriers went up around Coughlin High School on North Washington Street earlier this month: the buildings are showing their age.
It does. But on the whole on the inside it is not that bad as people think it is, said Mary Conrad.
Conrad, a crossing guard at Meyers High School, said she graduated from Meyers in 1948 and has a great grandson going to class there.
Conrad hopes Meyers will be repaired and can stay open for another generation.

Structural Concerns at Second High School in Wilkes-Barre

Milton Good fences make good neighbors is not holding true in Milton.Town officials and some residents do not see eye-to-eye about fences sought to protect the towns water utility facilities.
Milton Mayor and Town Council in April unanimously approved a $37,000 contract with Abel Fence LLC of Wilmington, to install fencing around the Chandler Street elevated water tank, the Public Works Department maintenance yard on Front Street and the elevated water tank adjacent to Shipbuilders Village.
Most of the money would come from a grant, but town residents say the council's choice of chain-link fencing will reduce property values. They called on council to seek public input before making decisions.
A 2013 grant of $30,000 would pay for most of the fencing, but Kristy Rodgers, Miltons acting town manager, said the town must use it by June 30 or the funds will be lost. Rodgers had earlier stated the grant, which the town applied for in 2012, came from the Department of Homeland Security.
At mayor and councils May 22 meeting, Rodgers clarified the money is from the Delaware Emergency Management Agency.
Mayor Marion Jones has called the fencing a legacy of her administration, and she suggested council upgrade from standard chain-link fencing to decorative aluminum fencing for the Chandler and Front street portions of the project.
The panel approved the $6,900 upgrade but only for a portion fronting the Chandler Street site, and amended the town budget May 7 to cover the additional expense. Black chain link fencing will be used around the Chandler Street water tower.
Milton property owners Jeff Daily, Ed Harris, Barbara Wagoner and Ginny Weeks were the only residents to attend the May 21 meeting.
Harris, who owns a house immediately adjacent to the Chandler Street water tower and a house across the street, told the panel neither DEMA nor the Department of Homeland Security requires municipalities to put fences around water facilities because there have been no cases of water poisoning in the country.

We can all rest easy, because yesterday, the president of the United States assured the graduating cadets at West Point and the rest of America that, despite enormous pressure, he is not going to intervene militarily everywhere at all times.
Hes just not. So stop asking!
To say that we have an interest in pursuing peace and freedom beyond our borders is not to say that every problem has a military solution, the president said.
I know what youre thinking. Youre thinking: Whew! That was a close one! Because before he spoke, the consensus opinion was that every problem has a military solution. Now we know better! Thanks, President Obama!
His speech at West Point was billed as one of the most significant of his presidency an address in which Obama would lay out a philosophical case for his administrations conduct and choices.
He found it necessary to deliver such a speech because of the worldwide distress his disastrous off-the-cuff remarks in Asia caused a few weeks ago.
Then, he summed up his foreign policy this way: You hit singles; you hit doubles; every once in a while we may be able to hit a home run.
With these words, the president seemed to be suggesting the United States ought to be evaluated much as a baseball sabermetrician would evaluate a quality utility player one of those guys who bounces around the major leagues and adds some small but meaningful value to a teams production.
The United-States-as-utility-player may be the country hed prefer to lead, given his lifelong skepticism about Americas ability to bring about change for the better beyond our borders.
But it doesnt do the slightest justice to the power, influence or responsibilities of the country he was twice elected to lead.

A new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under Highway 89 east of Kanab in southern Utah has reduced vehicle collisions with deer.
John Hollenhorst, Deseret News
KANAB After a round-trip migration by several thousand deer, a new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under a highway in southern Utah is being labeled a qualified success.
But the experiment has not been without problems both animal and human in nature.
Last year, a partnership of government agencies built 12 miles of fencing and large wildlife underpasses to reduce vehicle collisions with deer on U.S. 89 east of Kanab in Kane County.
"I think the general perception is that it has been successful," said Kevin Kitchen, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Transportation.
Vehicle collisions with deer have been reduced substantially since deer began migrating under the highway instead of across it, Kitchen said.
The system of fences and underpasses is one of several designs being tried across the country as states try to reduce the costs of such accidents in dollars and deaths of deer and humans.
Surveillance images show that deer are sometimes skittish as they approach the underpasses, but most will eventually walk under the highway.
"The behavior of the animals is one of the things we really have to look at as we take a look at the design of these structures and fences and the different types of crossings," Kitchen said.
BONNEAU, SC (WCSC) -
Police say a Moncks Corner man crashed through three fences and damaged church grounds in Bonneau, and now Bonneau's police chief is calling for safety improvements on that stretch of road.
When he bought his home a few months ago, Steven Fort had no idea he would be dealing with fixing fences.
Police say Fort's house is located right around a curve that speeding cars can't handle.
Two weekends ago someone drove into one of his fences. A tree stump stopped the car from going through it.
Early Sunday morning, while Fort was out at Bonneau Beach it happened again. This time, the car plowed through it.
"I'm telling you, I couldn't believe it when I walked out here and I was amazed. This can't be again and then realized he went all the way through the yard and I was really blown away, Fort said.
Police say the driver, 38-year-old Kevin Davis was driving drunk and kept on going.
Cops say Davis plowed through a chain link fence and a third fence on Fort's property, then crossed the road and did damage to some church grounds.
Bonneau's police chief says it could have been worse.

Police: Drunk driver crashes through three fences, damages church grounds
LAWTON, Okla._A woman was injured after she drove off a busy Lawton road, through a fence and into a backyard.
This incident has two families saying "not again" as a car came flying off Rogers Lane only to a stop a few feet away from a home.
"There's a car in the backyard, we come in and trees are down, fence is down," said Sue Easterly after the car drove through her backyard.
Its a car accident that has neighbors along Rolando Drive in disbelief, even tears, thinking about "what if" as crews work in rainy conditions to remove a car from a backyard that veered off Rogers Lane.
"If today wasn't a rainy day, it's summertime, my girls would have been outside playing and who knows," said Easterly.
The black Mercedes first drove through Easterly's wooden fence, coming to a stop just feet away from her neighbor's home.
"I want to say about three feet from actually hitting the brick. I came home from work and I saw the car, I mean, just so close, it made me feel uneasy," said Kristen Hull whose backyard is where the car came to a stop.
More than a dozen homes between 67th and 78th streets are protected by a brick wall, but at the brick wall stops at 78th Street and because of the lack of protection, cars have driven through the fence. Neighbors say this isn't the first time either.
"Last year, came probably ten or fifteen feet away from my bedroom while I was in bed," said Hull.
"There are only three houses here, why can't we have a wall here too," said Easterly.
