Ron and Judy Loeffler moved to
Dallas from Wilkes-Barre about
Sean, in ninth grade at Dallas
Junior High; and Kevin, fifth grade
student at Dallas Intermediate, and
a daughter, Laura, age three.
Judy is a native of Nazareth, Pa.
and Ron was born and raised in
Wilkes-Barre. Both of them enjoy
living in the Back Mountain area
and find it a wonderful place to
raise children..
Since Judy works full time as a
nurse at The Meadows in Dallas,
she looks for easy-to-prepare, nutri-
tious but economical recipes to
serve her family. Since she is work-
ing full time, her husband, Ron, also
‘assists her in preparing meals.
The Loeffler’s favorite dishes are
casserole dishes such as Tuna Cas-
such as homemade pizza or spa-
ghetti. This suits Judy fine because
she likes to cook one-dish meals.
The entire family is involved in
the Back Mountain Youth Soccer
program and in previous years, Ron
was coach of one of the teams. They

Wine bill
is passed
Gov. Dick Thornburgh recently
commended the Senate Law and
Justice Committee for its approval
calling it “a long-overdue vote of
confidence in the free enterprise
system and Pennsylvania wine and
consumers.’
The governor urged the full
Senate “to quickly approve the bill
and send it to the House as a
message that meaningful reform of
the state’s liquor and wine system is
indeed attainable.
“Today’s vote is an important
step forward in providing better
service to wine consumers in our
state,” Thornburgh said.
Thornburgh also said that ‘“‘the
bill presently before the House to
continue the discredited Liquor Con-
trol Board as is and even to expand
its operation is totally unacceptable
to me and to a majority of Pennsyl-
vanians.”

works actively. with the men’s orga-
nization. Judy is a music director at
the church. The boys are involved
with the Luther League. Judy is
hoping to become a member of the

When they have the time, espe-
cially in the warm weather, the
Loefflers go camping at their
family’s cabin in the Poconos where
they have a wonderful time, accord-
ing to Judy.
“It’s really primitive living — no
modern facilities but we love it,”
said Judy. “It’s so wonderful to get
out among the trees and lakes with
everything so green and so much
fresh air.”
Sean is studying Foods in junior
high and sometimes brings home
recipes which he shares with his
mother.
The Pizza Dough and Pizza Sauce
are recipes he obtained at school
when the members of his class
made the pizza. It is delicious and
since it is made at home, any
toppings one desires may be used.
