Fails Misericordia senior irying for delegate Gerald Strubinger BY BONNIE DOMBROSKI Staff Writer Gerald Strubinger, Jr. hopes to be elected a delegate to the Democratic National Conven- tion in Atlanta, Georgia in July. The College Misericordia senior will be vying for one of five delegate positions when the voters cast their ballots on Pri- mary Election Day, April 26. ery: who is a native of Jim horpe, is majoring in Pre-law and History with a minor in Political Science. His involve- ment with the Young Demo- crats Club led to his decision to run for delegate. That group along with the Young Republi- cans Club joined forces to form a Political Awareness Commit- tee known as PAC at Misericor- dia. The PAC decided to ad- dress three areas in creating greater political awareness among the students: getting students registered to vote; ine absentee ballots for stu- ents unable to get home for election day; and obtaining the use of a real voting booth for Student Government elections so the students could have an opportunity to familiarize them- selves with it before primary elections in April. Jerry thought the PAC could make students more interested in the upcoming elections if someone from their school was the political ge in process. So he got a petition with a minimum of 250 signa- tures of registered Democrats fron the 11th’ Congressional istrict and filed the petition in Harrisburg on February 15 along with a $25.00 filing fee. Strubinger’s name will auto- matically be on the ballot but the position on the ballot will be determined by the results of a lottery held on February 26. According to Jerry, ‘‘all young lawyers have political aspirations” and he has been receiving great support from the faculty including advisors Dr. Rose Marie Savelli and Dr. Louis Magnusson, as well as college president Dr. Joseph Fink who was a delegate for George McGovern in the 1972 election. Jerry was fascinated by Attorney Frank Harrison who taught Constitutional Law at Misericordia in the Fall Se- mester of 1986. Jerry said the attention of the class was cap- tured by Harrison’s ‘war sto- ries”’ of his years in Washing- ton which made the subject matter more interesting and easier to learn. Representative Keith McCall explained some of the intricacies of the delegate election to him and Jerry was excited to receive a letter from Lieutenant Governor Mark Sin- gel congratulating him on his decision to run for delegate. What started out as a way to get students involved has turned out to be a valuable experience for Jerry, who plans to attend law school next Janu- ary. “It has really opened my eyes,” Jerry said and he feels this knowledge will be useful to him as he continues his educa- tion and in his future legal and political career. While attending Jim Thorpe Area Senior High School, Jerry had the opportunity to partici- pate in a program called Penn- sylvania Youth in Government. It was sponsored by the YMCA and high school students from all over the state spent a week- end in Harrisburg where they ran a mock government. After that, Jerry says he was hooked. In the summers, Jerry has a job managing the waterfront at Lake Harmony and on his day off he works for Attorney An- thony Roberti. He spends the day at the Carbon County Court House doing title searches and gaining legal experience. Jerry can count on the sup- port of his Dad, a postal work- er, his Mom, who changed her party affiliation for him, and his brother, Greg, a College Misericordia sophomore with whom he shares an apartment in Dallas. At nine years old, “brother Phillip is too ‘young to vote for Jerry but will lend a helping hand during the cam- paign. If enthusiasm and belief in the democratic system at work made the difference, Jer- ry could already be planning his trip to the Democratic Na- tional Convention at the Omni Center, July 10-22, 1988. Harveys Lake cop dismissed from force BY BONNIE DOMBROSKI Staff Writer e Chocolate Eggs e Chocolate Baskets e Jelly EQQs and Lots More! ] & J DELI & BAKERY Memorial Hwy. Dallas, PA The Easter Bunny Was Here... He left a lot of Jon L. Stopay goodies — » Chocolate Bunnies * Bears e Crosses e EQS e Fillers Harveys Lake Borough Coun- cil held their regular monthly meeting Tuesday, Mar. 15, at the Municipal Building. In the absence of Mayor Boyle, the police report submit- ted by Chief Lionel Bulford was read by Mr. Abod. There were 100 complaints for the month of February, including 15 offenses for which 12 citations were issued. The tax collector’s report was given by Boice for Terry G. Jones. Over $6,000.00 in tax revenue was paid to Harveys Lake Borough. Jones wants the borough residents to be aware that he will be in the Municipal Builidng from 10 a.m. until noon on Thursdays or at his home at Pole 135, Sunset Beach on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until noon for their convenience in paying taxes. Jones will also be glad to arrange hours by ap- pointment when necessary. April 16 is the opening day of trout season. Volunteers are still needed for the constructi- mon of the Rec Center. The state has contributed the mon- ey for material, but the resi- dents must provide the labor. Albee announced the borough has applied for grants under House Bill 1100, known as PennVest, which was recently signed by Governor Casey. Al- bee hopes funds will be availa- ble to clear up some drainage problems in the Keefer Plot area, Kitchen Street, and Old Lake Road. He said more infor- mation will be known in April but that it looks good for Har- veys Lake to receive some funding. In keeping with the Sunshine Laws, Solicitor McCormick an- nounced that three executive work sessions had been held, one during the third week of February, one on March 2, and one earlier that evening, for personnel purposes. Under new business, Sheldon Glahn was named Sewerage Enforcement Officer and ap- pointments were made for the Environmental Action Commit- tee. A motion was passed to take $1,500.00 from Public Safe- ty and put it under General Adminstrative expenses in the budget. Robert Aben and Bruce Postupak were named to the Sunset Beach Committee. Due to the confines of a strict budget, a motion was passed that all purchases, with the exception of emergency pur- chases, must be accompanied by a purchase order or the individual will be held responsi- ble for payment, not the Bor- ough. A motion was made to pay all bills except the one from McCarthy Tire Service until Sgarlat checks into it as he was under the impression that the cost of the tire would be substantially less. When questioned about a re- port that police hours had been cut back, Rick Boice told The Post that this was not true. Boice stated that part-time po- lice officers work between 16 and 24 hours weekly; any more than that and they would be considered full-time. He ac- knowledged that money is tight since it is the beginning of the year and tax revenues are just starting to come in. In another police matter, Boice affirmed that Clif Madrack was dis- missed from the police force at a special meeting held March 4, 1988 but said that the reasons for the dismissal was not yet being made public. ‘THE DALLAS POST/Wednesday, March 23, 1988 3 = | or ah Eas FOR EASTER SAY "HELLO" with Molasses Coconut Cream Waple Cream Peanut Butter Fait & Wut Choc.

Susan, the mother of three, is a excited about the Festival as Madalaine. “It was a massive undertak- ing, but the Festival is coming. This project is giving birth to a new, permanent, cultural insti- tution for children in northeast- ern and northcentral Pennsyl- vania.”” Susan said. The women said 6 - 8,000 children will be coming to Wilkes-Barre each day for three days. They have sold 25,000 tickets to.the public and to almost 100 schools from as far away as Harrisburg and State College. Both Susan and Madalaine said they are confident the suc- cess of the Festival will illus- trate the need for more high quality, cultural events for chil- Black-Red White-Pink = Easter Shoes Largest Selection Of Children’s Shoes Ever “Doctors Prescription Specialists” Shogs Shoe Store Route 309, Dallas Mon.-Fri. 9:30-9: 00; Sat. 9:30-6:00; Sun.

But the show must go on and the coordinators said a great demand still exists for volun- teers to help over the perform- ance period. They hope our area will in love with the idea of international children’s thea- ter and the public eill support the event by volunteering their time and effort. Susan asked that anyone in- terested in volunteering, call 823-4599 or 829-5022 and ask for the International Children’s Theater Festival office. She said senior citizens, college stu- dents, retired persons, and any other groups who would offer their services would be wel- comed. Susan said the effort will be its own reward if our area can provide three, fun- filled, exciting days for all the children.
