O’Connell
is seeking
re-election
‘State Senator Frank J. O’Connell
(R-Kingston) formally announced
today that he is a candidate for
delegate to the 1984 Republican
National Convention. The Luzerne
County legislator’s campaign
theme is ‘ ‘Another view for 1984”
Throughout O’Connell’s 29 year
political career, he has been
known as a ‘‘diferent kind’ of
Republican. He has long been a
champion of the working class and
believes that the Administration
must be aware of the concerns of
its constituents.
O'Connell has served as a dae
representative for the 120th
Legisltive District, as a Kingston
Borough (Luzerne = County)
and as a com-
mitteeman in the second ward of
Kingston. He is currently a second
term state senator.
As chairman of the powerful
senate State Government Com-
mittee (a position held for four
years), O’Connell is well-versed in
matters affecting Pennsylvania,
particularly ‘in the 11th
Congressional District in which he
is running for delegate.
“I will express those concerns
brought to me by the citizens of the
11th Congressional District.”
O'Connell added, “I will not be
another rubber stamp for ‘the
party.”
O'Connell views the unhealthy
federal deficit as a priority. “We
must work towards balancing the
federal budget in realistic terms.
Though I am in favor of a strong
defense force, the military budget
must be scrutinized and the waste
eliminated. .
“I am a candidate, further, who
believes that America must
support Americans first. Our
human services must not take a
back seat to defense or foreign
aid,” he said.
In addition to the imortant
nomination of the Republican
presidential and vice-presidential
candidates, there will be four
important Committees of the
Convention which will play a
major role in determining the
future of the Republican Party.
The committees are as follows:
Committee on Credentials,
Committee on Resolutions
(Platform), Committee on Per-
manent Organization, and the
Committee on Rules and Order of
Business.

Bid awarded
Dallas Township supervisors
awarded a $10,503 contract for a
“new police cruiser to Howard
Isaacs Inc., of Trucksville at their
meeting held Feb. 7. The only
other bid was for $10,950 from L.L.
Richardson of Dallas.
The board also amended the
rules for pension and retirement
‘benefits for township police.
Widows of police officers will
receive 50 percent of their spouses’
pensions under the amendment.
Widows previously were not en-
titled to any of their spouses’
pensions.
Benefits for police officers will
now be based on the policeman’s
average monthly salary for the
last 60 months of his employment.
Prior to the amendment, benefits
were based on the last 36 mon ths of
employment.
Charney home
John ‘‘Jack’ Charney returned
to Wyoming Valley on Feb. 6 after
being injured in an accident in
Cairo, Egypt.
Charney, whose parents, John
and Eline Charney, reside at RD
3, Dallas, was on the last leg of a
two-year worldwide tour when he
was struck down by an Egyptian
military truck, causing extensive
fractures and bruises.
The 28-year-old former teacher
at Stowe School in Stowe, Ver-
mont, was accompanied on the
return flight by his father, who had
traveled to Cairo last week to be
with his son.
An ambulance donated by the
Dallas Ambulance Association,
transported him from Kennedy
International Airport in New York
to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
where a team of volunteer doctors
were on hand.
Tax vetoed
A controversial garbage
collection tax was vetoed by
Harveys Lake Mayor Frank
Picchi last Thursday evening.
The $26 per household tax was
vetoed by Picchi because the state
Department of Community
Affairs, in Harrisburg says it is
illegal to enact a garbage “tax”
instead of a garbage ‘‘fee.”
Council president Daniel Blaine
said council would change the
word “tax” if someone made a
motion. Council was scheduled to
discuss the veto at a work session
yesterday.
New secretary
Joan Conrad, of RD 5, Shaver-
town, was appointed secretary-
clerk for both the municipal
authority and the planning board
by the Jackson Township super-

The board will also send
documents to the county com-
missioner’s office in an attempt to
receive a $40,000 grant made
available to the township by the
Office of Community Develop
ment.
Permit given
Ruth Gildea was given per-
mission to convert the former
Pioneer Market on her property at
27 North Pioneer Avenue, Shaver-
town to an apartment. Permission
was granted by the Kingston
Township Zoning and Hearing
Board at its Feb. 6 meeting.
Mrs. Gildea must maintain the
building, which now holds the
former market and an apartment
for herself, as a two-family
apartment house and will not be
allowed to expand the building.
State Senator Frank J. O'Connell
recently announced the award of
$9,818 in federal funds for energy
conservation to College
Misericordia, Dallas. The grant
from the U.S. Department of
Energy Institutional Conservation
Program (ICP) will be used to
make energy conservation im-
provements to the institution.
The senator congratulated
College Misericordia officiak on
receiving the grant and said he
hoped others would follow their
kad in cutting energy use and
reducing energy costs.
‘Energy costs are a major
factor in rising expenses for
education,” O'Connell said.
The ICP grant provides mat-
ching funds to schools for the
design, acquisition and installation
of energy conservation measures
which will improve the energy
efficiency of institutional
buildings.
Examples of such improvements
are insulation, window
modifications, caulking and
weatherstripping, energy
management systems and boiler
modifications. Solar and alter-
native energy systems are also
eligible.
“This program presents a fine
example of tax dollars being put to
good purpose.” O'Connell said,
“The money saved in energy can
