Kingston Township supervisors approved the read-
ing of an ordinance granting Tele-Media Company a
franchise to hook-up cable television in outlying areas
of that community at it’s monthly meeting last
Wednesday night.
Frank Vicente, Vice President and General Manager
of Tele-Media, along with Jerry Toma, General
Manager of Dallas Cablevision, met with an engineer
last week to discuss plans and outline the project.
Those plans also include the servicing of the Carverton
Heights section, hopefully by the end of the year.
Based in State College, Pa., Tele-Media took over
operations when Century Communications, an affiliate
of Sentry Insurance from Wisconsin, pulled out of the
deal in an 11th hour decision.
In other business, township manager Fred Potzer
received a letter from District Magistrate Earl
Gergory informing him of Act 60, a community service
program passed Sept. 27, 1985, affecting those individ-
uals unable to pay fines levied by that office.
Now, in accordance with the township, those persons
will be forced to provide compensation in the form of
manual labor for the good of the community.
The supervisors also:
— Approved a Resolution acknowledging the town-
ship’s participation in the Facilities Grant Program of
the Department of Commerce, seeking a grant in the
amount of $41,650.00. The money will be used to install
11 dry fire hydrants in the Trucksville-Shavertown
areas. The grant will hopefully be approved by May 1,
with the work to be completed by June or July. The
installations, which will be located in strategic areas,
will help the fire department cut down on response
time.
— Approved the first reading of a township firearms
ordinance. Under the new porposal, which will become
law after the second reading, the shooting of rifles and
other types of firearms will be allowed in A-1 and C-1
zones. Shooting will also be restricted to certain hours
and all persons cannot be within 200 yards of a home
or structure.
— Conditionally denied the request of Dale and Dale
Homes for the subdivision of Lots 180, 181 and 182 on
Harford Street in Shavertown. The township would
first like to check with Joe Salla, General Manager of
the Dallas Water Company, to see if the construction
of two new homes will affect the water pressure of
other homes in that area.
Residents in the N. Lehigh and Harford Street
sections have experienced such problems in the past,
mainly because of a steep hill in that area.
— Approved the second reading of an ordinance
rezoning Lot No. 15 located at 73 Memorial Highway
where the Evans and Jones Real Estate will construct
a new office.
— Received bids for the resurfacing of township
streets under the Liquid Fuels Paving Program. Bids
are still being reviewed and will be awarded at the
water company installs a new main on Mt. Airy Road
and finishes extension work on Spring and Brook
roads. The township will also observe construction
closely before resurfacing begins. Those streets
included will be: Mt. Airy, N. Franklin, Ferguson,
Spring and Brook.
— Awarded a bid for a 8-12 ton Galion Tandem
Roller to Stewart-Amos Equipment Company of Har-
risburg at a price of $13,000. The addition will now
make the department totally self-sufficient. The town-
ship already has two smaller rollers, a paver, tar-
kettle and a sweeper.
— Approved a Resolution requesting reimbursement
from Community Development in the amount of
$69,000 for construction work completed under the ‘CIP
Program.

BUILDING
School
(Continued from page 1)
The board is also considering
other projects and would like to cut
costs as much as possible. Solicitor
Ben R. Jones III said school person-
nel could not be used because the
cost of the project exceeds a certain
dollar amount and therefore, by
law, would have to be open for bids.
Jones, did say work can be done
by volunteers or non-professionals
and then presented to the school
district, thus bypassing mandatory
procedures by the Department of
Labor and Industry.

Timing
(Continued from page 1)
a TWA Boeing 727 exploded as it
descended near Athens. One week
later, another American was killed
in a West Berlin disco bombing
believed to have been planned by
the Libyan embassy in East Berlin.
Last week, White House officials
confirmed the U.S. is mulling over
the possibility of taking military
action against Libya, a position all
three students agree with to some
degree.
“The United States has to react,”
Titus said last week. “I’m not sure
exactly how, but we have to issue a
warning or something to let them
know we will not stand for what
they are doing. We have to make
them backoff.
Yaple agreed. ‘‘They are not a
major power and they’re not the
most knowledgeable country. They
couldn’t even hit any of our ships,”
he said, referring to the recent
battle in the Gulf of Sidra in which
the U.S. sank at least two Libyan
patrol boats and damaged a missile
launching site. Libya claimed to
have shot down three American
fighter jets, but the U.S. denied that
claim.
“I think our 6th Fleet could have
wiped out their entire forces,”
Smith added.
Both he and Titus have registered
for the draft, although Yaple, who
just celebrated his 18th birthday a
few days before, had not yet signed
up.
