Governor Dick Thornburgh has
appointed a Shavertown man to the
post of Emergency Management
Coordinator for Kingston Township.
‘Kenneth Beisel, 77 Franklin Street,
has been charged with the task of
running operations during any
disaster, after concurring with the
board of supervisors. :
In an emergency situation, he will
be requested by township manager
the nature of the incident. Beisel
‘can order evacuation, mobilize
police or fire companies, obtain
mass housing, and work with’ the
Red Cross.
Kunkle said should an emergency
arise, Beisel will not be working
alone but in unison with the super-
visors, adding this is not a one man
in complete charge situation.
The new emergency management
coordinator enlisted in the Army in
‘1943 as a private; serving until 1946.
In 1947 he joined the Reserves
where he served until 1950 through
1952. Following his discharge in
Division where he served for 20
years. Beisel has been employed as
a shipping clerk at Back Mountain
Lumber for the past 10 years.
The Beisel family are members of
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church,
Shavertown. They are the parents
of two, Gary, a policeman with the
township force, and Kathie Roman,
a registered dental hygienist, who is
coordinator for the department of
Community College. He and wife,
- Hope, an employee of Offset Paper-
back, have three grandchildfen and
are awaiting another soon. His
mother, Florence, resides in
His community’ endeavors in-
clude membership in the Shaver-
town Fire Company, now as vice-
president, - and, previously, as
president. He also served as a line
officer in the volunteer company.
Beisel serves as vice president of
the first aid unit of the Shrine at the
Irem Temple. He is a Mason,
member of Landmark Lodge, and
Caldwell Consistory.
Beisel said his wife of 34 years,
Hope, is a great help to him. The
former Hope Kishbaugh, she is
active in her own right as a member
of the ladies auxiliary to the fire
company. Both are originally from
Wilkes-Barre, but have lived in the
Back Mountain since their
marriage. 3
It appears Kingston Township is
in capable hands should an
emergency arise as Beisel’s tenure
in the service was comprised
largely of disaster planning and
earth person, Beisel is also amused
at the fancy title he holds and
wonders why the civil defense
director designation is not used
now. He said he is a “C.D.”
The new coordinator will work
closely withthe county civil defense
department and he is currently
undating the township emergency
management plan.
Dallas Township and Dallas
Borough still have ‘‘civil defense
directors’’. Bob Besecker has
served for the past two years in that
capacity for the township and Bill
Berti has been in charge for many
years as_ defense director in the
borough.
Motivation...
No matter how many ways you
smiles. I share with you these great
words of wisdom which I have spent
over $3,000 a year to learn. And to
get my money’s worth, I will share
some of my great learnings with:
you. See, I was told last week in
school that I have not actually’
learned something until I can ex-
press it to someone else in my own
words. So, what a better group of
people to share my great wealth of
knowledge with, but you.
Guess what else. I'm going to let
you in on what’s new in the ad-
vertising world here at the Post.

Dallas United Methodist church. A
very “motivated person, Rosanne
Griffin, is going to put her well-
attained knowledge to use with a
friend, debra Kolojejchick, to bring
the Back Mountain mothers a
terrific place to leave their pre-
school children.
Now you tell me you don’t have
kids and so what! Well, there’s
another person in the Back
Mountain who thinks everyone
forgot about her, and that lady
comes from Hill the Florist, located
on Pioneer Avenue. Since she’s not
located on the Main Road, people
never seem to think about her, so
I’m taking care of her problem, by
telling her that you would be over-
whelmed to stop by and brighten
your life with some flowers. And if
you're like me, a little excitement .
includes some good food.
Have I got the greatest idea for
you. If you get your little body over

me do too much of this week. See,
we promised that we would only eat
when we were together during the
day. At home we wouldn’t touch a
bite. So where and when do we
decide this. At lunch, over a
Chocolate Brownie Fudge Delight.
Ha, Ha, my diet just blew out the

This will not work if I expect to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Preacher needed
Neighbors:
In the absence of not having a full-
time preacher, we haven't had a
scheduled church service since Ash
Wednesday. Of course we have a
Sunday School class and a prayer
meeting on Wednesdays, but the
men of our church are sanding
down and varnishing our church
pews which Mr. Cooper from Lake
Silkworth- made for us. We are
hoping and waiting for a full time
preacher.

Wrong. For the past two years,
since the expiration of the elected
term of the last ‘server of legal

Saturday evening my New York

Ripa feels Home Rule Charter does
not provide for the constable
position. Kunkle disputes this
notion, stating that while engaging
in what * Kunkle termed a
‘‘/dialogue’’ with Ripa, Kunkle
pointed out the Home Rule com-
munities of Wilkes-Barre Township
and Kingston Borough both employ
constables.
They are compensated by the
number and types of subpeonas
delivered. Police Chief Paul Sabol
made it clear that no extra com-
pensation is paid to any members of
the force acting in the constable
capacity:
At least two township men have
indicated interest in the slots, Gary
Snyder and Herb Hankey, ac-
cording to Kunkle. Snyder appeared
at a public meeting of the super-
visors some months ago inquiring
dinner and dancing. While my
brothers, who were my dancing
were being themselves-terrific.

believe it. There was stuffed shells,
ravioli, eggplant parmigan, chicken
cacciattore, tripe, sausage and
pepper, pepper steak, spare ribs,
meatballs, roast beef, chow mein
(how that got in there I'll never
know) and the million dollar fish
salad, (that’s lobster, shrimp,
octopus, squid and about 14 other
shell fish chopped up and served
with garlic, parsley, olive oil and
fresh lemon). This food was served
from 8:30 to 11:30 so you ate,
by Joseph Alba, 55, of P.O. Box 414,
Pittston.
Police said Alba was exiting the
Red Head gas station, crossing the
highway to head south, when he was
struck from behind by the Main-
wairing car, travelling in the
passing lane. No date has yet been
set for the hearing, which will be
held before District ‘Magistrate:
Leonard Harvey, Dallas.
Drivers of the second and third
cars were identified as Joseph
Gibbons, RD 1,, Box 602, Wilkes-
Barre, and James Spencer of RD 2,
Box 245, Dallas. Police said they
had slowed down because a car
ahead of them was turning.
Investigating was Chief Donald
Jones.
Car fishtails
An icy road during Friday's
storm sent a Trucksville man’s car
out of control and brought about a
collision, according to’ Kingston
Twp. police.
Police said that Paul Ritts, 22, of
227 Skyline Drive, Trucksville, was
driving north when, as he tried to:
pass a car ahead of him, he began to
fishtail, crossing over into’ the
oncoming lanes.
There his car struck a car driven
by Judith ‘Santarelli, RD 3, Box 186,
Wyoming, approaching from the
opposite’ direction. Santarelli said
she was trying to: avoid the Ritts
vehicle when the accident hap-
pened.
Investigating was Ptlm. Gary

as to the status of an appointment
for himself or others.
Following that meeting, Kunkle
said it was his and other officials
contention constables are em-
ployees of the courts’ and so the
courts should appoint one from
those who petition for the job.
The situation between the
township and county election
bureau chief is at a standstill but
the county ruling is in effect,
evidenced by the lack of an appoint-
ment. There was going to be an
election for the position but that was
dismissed after the situation was
researched and determined con-
stables work for the courts not the
township, therefore, precluding the
necessity for a hometown contest.

The next election for constable
could be held in 1984, if the logistics
of the Home Rule Charter are re-
solved by then, one official stated.
An interesting sidelight is that the
modern day police gained the slang
term ‘*‘cop” because they were
originally called ‘Constables on
Patrol”.
Although Kunkle: reminds
residents the lack of a constable
poses no hardship to the township, a
question of principle remains. It
may appear unusual that Kingston

appointed by the courts while the
other two Home Rule Communities
