The Sunset business area at the
entrance to Harveys Lake is begin-
ning to take on a new look.
Joseph Paglianite, owner and
proprietor of Joe's Grotto Pizza, has
purchased about 12 acres of land
which extends from his present place
of business to the wooded area toward
Idetown, from the former owner,
Francis Ambrose.
Paglianite is currently remodeling
a large pavilion which will house an
auction center and a combination
delicatessan and convenience store.
A new ice cream stand operated by
Tom Fallon is already open for
business and the taco stand which was
partially destroyed by fire will be
renovated and then be available for
rent. : :
Linda’s Beauty Shop, leased and
operated by Linda Cadwalader, and
Harveys Lake Explorers Day Care
Center, operated by Debbie Lozier
Katyl, have been in operation for
more than a year.
Paglianite will also operate a
marina. He is presently putting in new
boat slips which will accommodate 38
boats. He also plans to build and lease
‘a marine supplies shop in the area of
the marina.
The former bingo hall has been
renovated and Harveys Lake
American Legion Post 967 has leased
it from Paglianite as a Post Home.
The Legionnaires are currently
running bingo games as a source of
income for the organization under the
non-profit organization guidelines.
Paglianite said he hoped to have the
auction center open in about two
weeks and the delicatessen and
convenience store ready in about a
month.
“It’s a big project,” said Paglianite,
“and a big investment. I figure it’s
about a five-year project to complete
everything.
“I plan to engage a planner and
developer to lay out plans for a small
motel and vacation cottages.
“In the area where the sewer
authority originally intended to
locate, I plan to have that dredged out
and make a yacht basin and in the
wooded area, there will be some
chalets.”
Paglianite said he will grade and
pave a portion of the parking area
now and do the rest a little at a time
since it is an expensive project. He
also plans to have the entire site
landscaped and the marina fenced in
for safety,
At the same time, Paglianite plans
to improve and expand his own Grotto
Pizza business and looks for the
proposed vacation center to com-
plement it.

The question of who should collect
our school taxes, a tax collector or a
bank produced a discussion at the
meeting of the Dallas School Board on
Monday night.
A recommendation was made to
appoint Vern Pritchard as tax
collector for one year, retroactively
from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1979 to collect
school taxes levied within Kingston
Township. Since Kingston Township is
under home rule, the tax collector is
not elected but is appointed to his
position. Pritchard has served as tax
collector in Kingston Township for a
number of years.
Rates by which tax collectors are
compensated are 2 percent during the
discount period, 3 percent during the
60 day face value period and 4 percent
during the penalty period until an
income of $15,000 is reached. At that
»oint the rate would be reduced to 1
percent during the discount period,
1» percent during the 60 day face
value period and 2 percent during the
penalty period. The tax collector is
bonded in the amount of one-half of
the duplicate taxes collected in
Kingston Township for the 1978 tax
year. All four tax collectors in the
district are compensated in this way.
Basil Russin, a board member, said
he disagreed with the concept of the
tax collector, feeling it is too ex-
pensive to the district. Russin ex-
plained that last year a committee of
board members William Dierolf,
Patricia Gregory and Basil Russin
and of Citizens Advisory Committee
members Mahmoud Fahmy, Russell
Havey and Howard Grossman met to
review the tax collector issue.
Following careful study the com-
mittee recommended adopting a
different system for tax collection.
One alternative would be having a
bank collect taxes at a cost of 11 cents
per duplicate. In the opinion of the
committee, this method would result
in a substantial savings to the district.
This system is used in two Penn-
sylvania school districts but is on
appeal at this time. 3
Other suggestions included com-
pensation be paid on duplicates of
$2.50 per duplicate or setting a
minimum salary of $3,000 and a
duplicate payment of $2.50. Russin
explained that of eight suggestions
made by the committee, the board
chose to use the last one.
As chairman of the committee,
Dierolf said he felt that there may be
a better system but he does not feel
that it would be appropriate to refuse
Pritchard’s appointment at this time.
He said he felt that it would be fair to
notify all four tax collectors to any
changes about three months before an
election. Dierolf said he felt it would"
be unfair to remove one tax collector
while the rest could stay on until
election time.
Russin replied that he thinks the
board should rectify a wrong now, not
wait.
Joseph Gorko, a Democrat nominee
for election to the school board, who
was in attendance at the meeting,
noted that he agreed with Russin. He
said he feels that the district could use

money saved to put towards other
projects.
‘The board approved Pritchard's
appointment with a vote of 7 to 1 with
Russin voting ‘no’. ;
Approval was given to pay Raymon
R. Heddon and Company $42,408 for
general construction done on the
Dallas Intermediate School Project
from May 15 to May 31. Payment to
Allen and Associates in the amount of
$16,459.34 for architectural services
for the same project also was ap-
proved.
Cost of school lunches will be raised
in the 1979-1980 school year.
Elementary students will pay 55 cents
for their lunch, secondary students
will pay 60 cents and adults will pay
$1.
Co-curricular appointments for
1979-1980 school year included head
cheerleading coach, Carole Morris;
assistant cheerleading coach and
strutters, Maryann Storz; junior high
school girl’s basketball coach, John
Bauer. Mrs. Ann Camp, elementary
librarian, was granted a maternity
leave for the 1979-1980 school year.
A meeting of the board to adopt the
budget for the 1979-1980 school year
will be held Monday, June 25 at 8 p.m.
at the Senior High School Library.

DiVeronicas buy Puterbaugh’s Store
A Harveys Lake business has
changed hands. On June 2, Nick and
Nancy DiVeronica purchased
Puterbaugh’s Store from Miss
Eleanor Puterbaugh, who has owned
and operated the general grocery
store for many years.
DiVeronica, who is also a plumbing
and heating contractor, said he plans
to change the name to the
‘DiVeronica’s Sunset Grocery
Store’, but will continue to provide
the fine service given by Miss
Puterbaugh.
The new owners also will continue
to employ the two former employees,
known to customers as Jim, the
butcher, and Don, clerk. Nick, his
wife, Nancy, and daughter, Kelly,
also will work in the store.
DiVeronica already has installed an
ice machine and in the fall, he plans to
expand the store.
“I'd say we're a ‘general store’--one
of the few left in this part of the
country,” said DiVeronica.
“We carry a complete line of
quality meats cut to order and have
expanded our selection of cold cuts.
We also have a fine line of sweet and
hot Italian sausage.”
The store also carries produce,
frozen foods, canned goods, baked
you name it, DiVeronica’s carry it.
“We're also a small newsstand,”
more.” i
The DiVeronicas will sell their
property. :
Miss Eleanor Puterbaugh will
continue as postmaster of the
i
location adjacent to the grocery store.
