Mumbers of working
women to increase

“By the year 2,000, the work
force will be 50 percent wom-
en,” said Dr. Barbara Price,
L.C.C.C. director of career
planning and placement, a pro-
gram now in its sixth year.
Dr. Price made this state-
t recently while discussing
Lazerne County Community
College’s Women’s Center, part
of the school’s Sex Equity Pro-
gram in its existence for its
. sixth year. It is a program that
/ “'deals with issues of sex stereo-
typing and bias.
Dr. Price, whose Ph.D. from
‘the University of Pennsylvania
is in organizational planning,
{became interested in careers
or women while studying for
doctorate. She was on the
staff at L.C.C.C. when pursuing
er doctorate and when doing
er: dissertation she used the
,C.C. women’s population
or her study.
The result of her work with
these women showed her the
eed to provide servies for the
rowing population so she
rote the program and it was
unded by the Pennsylvania De-
rtment of Education. It was
program designed just for
IL.C.C.C. and at the time she
wrote. it, the program was one
of only four funded in the state.
of college are now being
£ ed under the same source
uch as Penn State Wilkes-
Barre Campus in Lehman’s
echnical careers but with dif-
ferent emphasis.
The Career Planning and
Placement Office at the college
offers seminars through its
Women’s Center on the main
‘campus. The Center is designed
to provide a variety of services
and resources to assist students
and community adults con-
“ned about adjustment to col-
18% life, equity and sex stereo-
typing. Seminars are offered
monthly as a public service
and are open to the public free
of charge.
The seminars are offered to
provide services designed to
assist women in making career
choices and there are support
groups for those who wish to
discuss concerns and issues re-
lating to women.
Dr. Price was surpised to
find that the majority of the
L.C.C.C.’s student population
are women. For years, males
dominated the community, but
now the average age of the
college population is 27 years.
No longer are the programs
geared toward the traditional
NF courses. More than 1,-
of the women are in the
middle age over 35, or 20 per-
cent of the school’s population.
Among the programs offered
periodically throughout the
year are Meaningful Jobs, Ad-
justing to College, Dealing with
Stress, Stress Management (a
popular course), Sexual Ha-
rassment (a popular topic) and
similar courses throughout the
year. These are open to every-
one and instructors usually
know which ones will be large
groups.
Dr. Price likes to have the
women consider non-traditional
careers such as electronics, en-
gineering technology, architec-
tural engineering technology,
and mechanical drafting and
design.
The aim of the Women’s Cen-
ter is to try to break the
barrier for the majority of
women entering the traditional
minimum wage jobs.
“Today the single parent who
is head of household is one of
the new poverty class in the
United States,”’ Dr. Price said.
“We have resources available
that address these type issues.”
Dr. Price’ study of midlife
women in career planning re-
vealed factors that influenced
their career decisions in col-
lege. It took about two years of
study, interviewing, etc., and
Dr. Price became very close to
her study group. She did over
100 hours of tape recordings of
these women’s life history and
after listening to the tapes she
felt the need for offering the
present services they do
through the Center.
“The majority of the women
earn associate degrees and go
into the work field,”” Dr. Price
explained. “Many of the wom-
en are ‘Place Bound’ (factors
which necessitate their remain-
ing in Wyoming Valley). Tradi-
tional careers are still the most
popular with the women but
Dr. Price is trying to influence
them to pursue interests and
abilities in technical areas.

Zoning violations initiate legal action
BY BONNIE DOMBROSKI
Staff Writer
The Jackson Township Board
of Supervisors held their regu-
Har monthly meeting on Mon-
day, Mar. 7 at the Jackson
Township Fire Hall. Zoning of-
ficer Robert Culp reported on
the status of two ongoing viola-
tions of the township zoning
ordinances. Culp was advised
by Solicitor Blythe Evanms to
continue with legal proceedings
until these situations are recti-
fied. One case involves a junk-
yard located in the township
and is under appeal, and the
other concerns the removal of
a structure.
Police Chief Donald Jones
gave the report for February
which included 41 complaints.
Jones stated that seven town-
ship police officers are quali-
fied to use the electronic speed
detection device and stressed
Stevens addresses Jr.High students
BY BONNIE DOMBROSKI
Staff Writer
Stevens explained the differ-
ence between criminal law and
civil law using examples the
students were interested in and
were able to understand. He
also told his audience that in
our legal system, the legisla-
ture makes the laws but the.
court has the powerto change
the laws. And the District At-
torney’s office helps to enforce
these laws through the prosecu-
tion of criminals.
The students sat very atten-
tively on the bleachers as the
District Attorney spoke to
them. It appeared that he had
given them something to think
about regarding the processes .
by which the laws are imple-
mented and through which
compensation for civil com-
plaints is obtained.
One ambition of the District
Attorney is to work to curtail
drug availability by getting
drug dealers off the streets. He
asked for the help of the young
people there and throughout the
county to reach this goal. Stev-
ens urged them to let his office
know at the Court House if they
are aware of any drug dealing
or if anyone approaches them
about buying drugs.
Stevens invited the students
to come visit the Court House
and to see the courtrooms and
a trial in progress to give them
a better understanding of the

the need for the new ordinance
to be adopted. Attorney Evans
said that the ordinance must be
advertised but that there is still
a question on some streets that
must be settled first.
Sealed bids for the all-wheel
truck with cabin. chassis, 2 cu-
bic yard dump body, and a
nine foot plow were opened.
Three were received with the
lowest cost including trade-in
amounting to $18,298.00. Joseph
Stager made a motion to table
the bids until the supervisors
had time to compare the specs.
Solicitor Evans had an appli-
cation that must be submitted
to Community Development by
March 15 to enable the town-
ship to be eligible for state
revenue sharing funds. The
state has a $300 million surplus
that was intended to be used to
help communities make up for
a loss of federal revenue shar-
ing. According to Evans, the
legal system. He also suggested
making: a trip to Harrisburg to
see the state legislature at
work. Stevens encouraged the
students to think about pursu-
ing a career in law, law en-
forcement, or government.
The appearance by Stevens
was due to the efforts of Histo-
ry teacher Frank Mrufchinski
and Principal John Oliver, Mr.
Mrufchinski heard Correale
Stevens say at his victory cele-
bration that he hoped to begin
a series of presentations to
local school children. Mrufchin-
ski said he approached the
newly elected DA immediately
to secure a spot in the schedule
for Lake-Lehman Junior High
School. Stevens promised to
come to Lake-Lehman first and
“he kept his promise,” Mruf-
chinski said.
Mr. Oliver introduced DA
Stevens to the entire student
body, which numbers over 350,
and the faculty members and
welcomed him to the school.
The seventh and eighth graders
were ovrwhelmed, according to
Mrufchinski, who has been at
Lake-Lehman since 1963. The
history teacher said many of
the students looke for him after
the presentation to thank him

bill was passed by the Senate
last February but has been
held up in Committee. He sug-
gested contacting Representa-
tive Jarolin to use his influence
to get it out of Committee.
Stagar reported that he had
received seven or eight calls
concerning the. condition of
Kasko Road. The problem with
the mud was so severe that the
school bus was having trouble
negotiating the roadway. Stager
assured residents that the road
crew will firm up the road for
now and when the weather per-
mits, more extensive repairs
will be made.
Evans read a resolution on
pollution control and water
quality management in Wood-
ridge I which must be submit-
ted for approval to DER. DER
had previously not approved
this resolution because they re-
quired one from Kingston
Township as well as Jackson
Township. Some sewage from
Woodridge I which is located in
Jackson Twp. will be conveyed
by sewer mains to the sewer
system in Woodridge II which
is located in Kingston Twp. The
sewage will then be treated by
the Dallas Area Municipal Au-
thority (DAMA).
Concerning a service agree-
ment with DAMA, Evans rec-
ommended that the township
wait until they have in writing
how much the cost will be to
the 200 users before accepting
it. Evans said he will get in
touch with Spencer Martin
from DAMA to get some con-
crete figures.
Township Auditor Joan Con-
rad said the 1987 audit report
could not be given as planned
due to the illness of one mem-
ber. The audit report will be
made next Monday at 7 p.m.
and will also be presented to
the Supervisors at the April
meeting.
for getting the District Attor-
ney to come to the school.
Mrufchinski voiced the stu-
dents’ appreciation of the fact
that Stevens took the time out
of his busy schedule to talk to
them.
In view of the positive reac-
tions this visit by the District
Attorney generated, it seems a
worthwhile venture to be ex-
plored by the administrations
of the Junior and Senior High
Schools in Luzerne County.
