Speed Calling disabled. 3-Way Calling Call Forwarding Soon to be gone By JANE C. BOLGER Staff Correspondent Kingston Township officials are going to court to obtain permission to demolish a vacant home at 65 East Center Street, Shavertown that has been termed ‘‘an eyesore.” Two other houses at 129 South Memorial Highway, Trucksville, and 47 South Pioneer Avenue, Trucksville, are also scheduled to be demolished with the permission of the owners. The home on East Center Street has been in ‘dilapidated condition at least since 1972,” according to Kingston Township Manager Mark Kunkle. “The windows of the struc- ture are broken, the steps falling off and the weeds have grown so high it looks like bamboo in the back yard,’’ he stated. The house is owned by Arlene Rineman of Forty Fort, who has reportedly ignored an official 30-day notice to either fix the property or dispose of it. Kingston Township has adopted a building code and con- tracts for the services of Code Enforcement Officer Tony Reino through the West Side Council of Governments. Following a meeting on the situa- tion with Kunkle and Reino, Kings- ton Township Solicitor Benjamin R. Jones has been authorized to insti- tute a Title Search on the property. This is in preparation to taking the case before Equity Court which has meets twice a year. The other two houses will be torn down shortly under a $5,000 Block Grant obtained from Luzerne County. The house on Pioneer Avenue was recently purchased by Catherine Sutton from Henry Ger- hardt. The house on Route 309 stands in front of the The Lame Duck Outlet and formerly housed the Road Runner Record Store and a Shoe and Sneaker Outlet. Owners are Gerald and Mary Ann Gizenski and Eleanor Kush trading as ‘‘The Lame Duck Outlet’, who reportedly want the building demolished so their business will be more accessi- ble from the highway.
