Thieves
heist gold
at church
State police at the Tunkhannock
barracks are continuing their in-
vestigation into the theft of ap-
proximately $1300 worth of gold
religious articles and some cash,
which took place when thieves
broke into the Blessed Sacrament
R.C. Church at Centermoreland.
The breakin, state police at
Tunkhannock said, occurred
sometime between 11:30 a.m.
Christmas Day, and 2 p.m. on
December 26 when an area
resident, Joseph Buzunis of Falls
discovered the breakin and notified
the police. Buzinis is president of
the Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine, affiliated with Blessed
Sacrament Church.
According to state police at
Tunkhannock, the thieves gained
entrance to the church by jimmying
a lock on a door located on the west
side of the building, and. after
breaking into the tabernacle, a
sacristy closet and two cash boxes
containing an undetermined
amount of money, made off with an
estimated $1300 worth of religious
articles.
The stolen items include a gold-
lined chalice with a diamond im-
bedded in the bottom valued at
$750; a 24’ gold-lined monstrance
valued at $200; two gold-lined
eucharist cups valued at $150 each;
a dish of shaped gold valued at $20;
two gold candlestick holders valued
at $15 each and a black leather bag
valued at $15.
The robbery was the third per-
petrated at area churches during
the past year. In the Spring, thieves
broke into the Carverton United
Methodist Church and made off
with some church valuables. Just
prior to the breakin at Blessed
Sacrament R.C. Church, a robbery
was commited at the Roman
Catholic Church at Montdale.

In response to a letter from UGI
the Kingston Township Supervisors
agreed at their meeting on Wed-
nesday night to request a right-of-
way from PennDOT to have UGI
install a pole and street light on
Carverton Road near Brown
Manor.
This street light is a compromise
by the supervisors regarding a
complaint from a resident of their
decision to ahve a light removed
from Old Carverton Road.
UGI agreed to provide the pole
and light along the new section of
Carverton Road at no charge to the
township as long as it was left in
that location for a minimum of five
years.

picked up during the week of Jan.
