Taking the test
Dallas.
Heart disease is more than an
individual health issue, it’s a com-
munity health issue.
Such is the contention of the OK-
Heart Project, a Valley-wide cam-
paign for heart health. The area’s
alarming statistics of heart disease
- 3.7 percent above the natinal norm
- have caused citizens to be con-
cerned about their potential risks.
In association with the Arizona
Heart Institute, OK-Heart aims to
nromote awareness throughout the
Nyoming Valley. As a community,
we will establish a national model of
civic response to heart health. A
PBS television special will record
this precedent-setting approach.
Tens of thousands of Heart Tests
have been distributed in over 90
businesses, services groups, veter-
ans groups, libraries, hospitals,
banks, department stores, labor
groups, and others. Approximately
65 churches also participated. The
Test, a simple 12 question evalua-
tion of heart health, is alerting
residents to the factors involved in
heart disease. Low, Medium and
High risk scores can easily be
tabulated.
OK-Heart does not end with the
Heart Test. Rather, it only begins...
During the next eight weeks, OK-

July 4 promises to be a great heart
healthy event for the Wyoming
Valley, with the focus of ‘‘commu-
nity”’ and “health” highly evident.
Citizens are urged to be involved -
actively - in heart health programs.
Risk factors that can be modified,
such as smoking, stress, exercise,
weight and nutrition have been out-
lined in two newspaper inserts for

The residence of Edward and
Bernadine Weiss, 141 Elizabeth
Street, Dallas was again vandalized
Monday night when eggs filled with
paint were thrown at their home
and automobile, adding to a year-
long list of destructive acts. The
Weiss’ were also vandalized Friday
night, again by egg throwing.
“I really think they’re (vandals)
enjoying this,”’ Bernadine Weiss
said Monday night. “They keep
getting away with it and they seem
to be getting a big kick out it,”
Weiss said.
The Weiss’ have been victims of
vandalism ranging from egg throw-
ing, bags of paint and broken win-
dows since June of 1984. Police
officials have been unable to track
down the vandals, despite numerous
investigations and stakeouts.
“It’s not that the police are not
trying,” Weiss said. They’ ve been
trying like crazy.”
+. The Weiss couple, who have lived
on Elizabeth street for 32 years,
said that they have all but given up
hope and have become very frus-
trated with the continuous acts of
vandalism.
“It’s been a long winter,” Berna-
dine Weiss said. “My husband and I
have stood long hours out in the cold
trying to catch someone. We're just
worn out from walking and look-
ing.”
Dallas Borough police say they
are continuing their search for the
vandals and the Weisses say they
will prosecute when the perpetra-
tors are apprehended.

The Fourth of July is a time for
celebration. Use caution to ensure a
fire-safe holiday. It reminds you
that fireworks are not toys...they
can cause deaths, blinding and
other severe injuries.
Don’t play with fireworks of any
kind. They are illegal in many
areas. Know and obey the law. Stay
away from others playing with them
and report violations to the police.
A sparkler, usually considered
safe, burns at a very high tempera-
ture and ignites clothing easily.
Keep children away.
Enjoy the Fourth safely.
