But if your daughter wants her job back, there’s no problem.” Grieves, who also serves on the recreation committee, says the girls will be re-hired. “They have been re-hired,” he stated. “We (Brobst and Montross) had a meeting and decided to hire three girls. That center is visited by kids who live in the township, so I don’t see why we shouldn’t hire the girls.” Pope said yesterday that as far as he is concerned it’s a dead issue and the four in question (Jill Radzinski, Amy O’Donnell, Sheri Ciccarelli and Chris Dombeck, (although it is pos- sible that one of the four may not return) will be re-hired. “I met with Byron Grieves, Harold Brobst and Ted Montross a week ago Sunday and we discussed the program. We agreed the four ad done an excellent job and would e hired again this year. i “1 know Tim (council member [Fim Carroll) has been making latements that have angered some beople. But as far as I’m concerned I's a dead issue,” Pope continued. ¢‘It is my understanding that puncil members usually follow the vice of members who make up pbmmittees, whether it be the road gpartment or: whatever, and Sally follow the recommendations ofiihat particular committee.’ Bope said borough council began IFng township people a few years when one girl, who resided in the borough and who had been on the Burndale staff, left to accept a position at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. Pope says the council looked for replacements from the borough, but couldn’t find any. Jill Radzinski, who lived just up the street, but on the township side of the line, was interested in the job and filled in for her. The same thing happened a year later, which is how O'Donnell became involved in the program. “These girls have done an exce- lent job,” Pope stated. “I don’t think they should be released because they live on the other side of the street. Our first concern is hiring quality people, and I made my feelings known. “I can understand what Timmy is saying by wanting to hire borough people,” Pope added: ‘“‘And if he wanted to do that after these girls left, I see no problem with that. “But as far as I’m concerned it’s a dead issue, unless someone makes a monkey out of me and they’re not re-hired.” Council member Russell Stone said he was not aware of the prob- lem and is also unaware if there is a split among council members. When told of Carroll’s position, Stone said he could see his point, but is uncom- mitted at this time. “The last I knew of it. we had discussions at the last meeting, but I believe they could’t find people from the borough to fill the jobs. But I could see his point. I have nothing against the girls, but if BUILDING Name, nC rian viata nes 3 years Address City State Zip w/) someone from the borough applied I think they would have to be given consideration. But I'm also con- cerned with hiring qualified people. We don’t want to jeopardize the safety of the kids.” Said Pope, “We don’t want to risk the safety of the kids by hiring someone who is not qualified. That has happened once or twice in the past. But with these people we had last year we know they are quality workers and have done an outstand- ing job.” : Radzinski, curently a freshman at Penn State University at State Col- lege, says she sent in her applica- tion a month ago to Grieves, but so far has not heard whether she will be re-hired, but says she is counting on the job. “This is my job that’s helping me pay for college,” Radzinski said. “It’s kind of tough to get a job, so If I don’t get it I don’t know what I’m going to do. Plus, I'm majoring in recreation and Parks, so I'm doing work that’s in my field.” Nonetheless, Carroll says the jobs should be advertised. “I think bor- New York Presents SALVATORE'S ough jobs should be given to bor- ough residents,” he stated. “And it’s no grudge, I know these girls and I have nothing but praise for them. But it’s just good business practice. We have to answer to the people who pay taxes. They are the people who elect us. But if no one applies for these jobs, then I don’t see any problem in hiring these girls.” The issue will probably be voted on at the next monthly meeting, which is held the third Tuesday of every month at 8 p.m. Have a news tip?

She was a dreamer whose passion was to reach for the stars. Her imagination knew no boundaries. Today, our future dreams can be found in America’s classrooms. It was in the class- room that Christa taught and where she hoped her achieve- ments would one day inspire her students to return — as teachers. That is why the American Federation of Teachers has es- tablished a special fund enti- tled “Christa’s Challenge.” . This education and scholar- ship fund will help encourage more of our nation’s brightest students to dedicate their lives to the challenge Christa loved most — teaching.

RS li TOBEY SANFORD/WHEELER PICTURES Jed County (Continued from page 1) invstigating a burglary ring, for example, and no other department knows about it. But some one else might be investigating the same type of problem and they may be same work for twice the money. “But, I think the two big barriers are the police chiefs themselves and the elected officials. Naturally there would only be one police chief so it would cut down on titles. And as far as the elected officials are con- cerned, if they could see, in the long run, the overall advantages in rela- tion to cost, it would be cheaper.” Dallas Borough Police Chief Ed Lyons and Sabol, however, do not necessarily agree the idea is a good one. “I'm not taking an anti-position, but I'm not much for it,” Sabol explained. “To me, bigger does not necesarily mean better. We don’t have any problems here and if we do need assistance, we usually call the state police or the DA’s office. If they wanted to have three separate forces, one on the East side, West side and the Back Mountain, I would be in favor of that.” Lyons sees other problems. “I have mixed emotions about it because there are a number of things to consider,” he stated. “What about the pension system, for example. Departments vary where some would benefit and others wouldn’t from a Countywide Force. I think you would have to examine all the plans. Then there is municipal integrity. I get at least 25 calls a day without fail. Some are directly related to police matters and some aren’t. But people depend on us for information. We deal with social and economic problems, too. “Then there is the fiscal problem. There are some towns that are richer than others. So how do you decide who pays what? Should a small town pay as much as a larger one? Smaller towns usually operate on a more stringent budget,” ’Lyons continued. “But as far as the cop on the street thing, I don’t see a problem with a Countywide Foree there, but these are other issues that have to be ironed out.” Miers says he would be in favor of the idea if it is handled properly. “If it is done the right way, I'm 100 percent for it. If it isn’t, I'm not,” he stated. “One way of approaching it would be to set up a regionalized police force based on magisterial districts where one force would handle the communities in that particular dis- trict.” Miers also says two advantages of a County Wide Force would be the standardization of the training of police officers and that it would also make it easier to work on different types of crimes. “Sometimes, the people you are investigating know who the local poilice are so it’s hard to keep them under surveillance. But if there was a County Wide Force, maybe offi- cers could be sent up from Hazle- ton, for example, and it would make the job a lot easier.” But like everyone else, Miers sees funding as a major problem, more so than the political end. “Up here there is no political pressure,” the 17-year veteran said. ‘“‘Our Council members don’t tell us who to vote for or what party we belong to. We are never pushed. “But there is the problem of standardizing wages. Regular police officers would be happy with that because their salaries would gener- ally increase. And there is also the pension problem. Right now some are solvent and some are not.” + “But if it’s going to work, the people have to want it on the county EDWARDSVILLE Narrows Mall Office Building Edwardsville, Pa. ® |aboratory © Cardiology - EKG Testing 287-0283 © Physical Therapy 287-7135 EXETER 1701 Wyoming Avenue Exeter, Pa. ® | aboratory © Cardiology - EKG Testing 655-5461 © Physical Therapy 655-9096 KINGSTON Nesbitt Medical Arts Building ® | aboratory ® Cardiology - EKG Testing 288-1411 ext. 4200 LEHMAN/DALLAS Back Mountain Medical Center Lehman/Dallas, Pa. ® Laboratory ® Cardiology - EKG Testing 675-3663 © Physical Therapy 675-8778 MOUNTAINTOP 12 South Mountain Rd.
