Lundberg Managing Editor A large crowd of Jackson Town- ship taxpayers attended the town- ship Municipal Authority meeting last Tuesday to hear the opening of bids for a state mandated sewer project scheduled to start at the end of this year. Chairman Richard Kindler said the bids would be tabu- lated and a decision announced at the authority’s October meeting. Two hundred and seventy township residents who now use private sep- tic tanks for their sewage will be required to hook into system. It was agreed at the last monthly meeting to draft specifications for the project requiring two different bids: one for installation of the sewer lines with dynamite blasting allowed, the second with dynamite blasting use not permitted. The bids announced were as fol- lows: Mele Construction, Dunmore, total amount including blasting $2,886,313.57, amount with blast- ing not permitted $3,608,299.94; Worth & Company, Doylestown Inc., .$3,258,374.00 with blasting, $4,278,374.00 without blasting; Alan A. Myers, Worcester, $2,687,980 with blasting, $3,520,480 without blasting; Linde Enterprises, Honesdale, $2,849,171.50 with blasting per- mited, and $3,014,171.50 without blasting. The Authority was ordered by the state to start the project more than five years ago, but did not have the funds to proceed. A grant of $2.5 million from the federal Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as a $983,500 state PENNVEST loan recently awarded to the town- ship, will be utilized for the project's implementation. Jackson Township taxpapers are concerned about the outcome of the sewer project because the 270 households required to be on the sewer line are responsible for pay- ment of the state PENNVEST loan. ror All [BEY Your NY 3 Pharmacy igesi= Needs IH ClEE - Computerized Prescription Service - Russell Stover Candies - Greeting Cards - PA Lottery Tickets - Newspapers, Magazines Friendly Service COOK'S ‘PHARMACY Memorial Highway Shavertown 675-1191 The loan has a 20 year term and a 1% interest rate. Many citizens are against the project because of this expense, and a recent petition was presented to the Authority protest- ing the estimated $3 million sewer system. Residents are also con- cerned about the potential effects of property damage from dynamite blasting used to clear bedrock be- fore installation of the new sewer lines. The Township residents who will be using the new sewer system will be expected to make payments toward the PENNVEST loan, as well as initial hook-up fees. Chairman Kindler said that the cost per household could decrease if more households were hooked up to the sewer system. The Authority members will not know the exact break down of payments required by residents until after a contracter is chosen. The Board voted to hire the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority to act as its grant and loan administrator at an approxi- mate cost of $55,000. Chairman Kindler said that the $55,000 has been budgeted into the project's cost. The project could begin by De- cember and be completed within 18 months, Kindler said. DARING MEMORIAL HIGHWAY, DALLAS OPEN EVERY DAY 8 AM. TO 9 P.M. Not Responsible For Typographical Errors We Reserve The Right To Limit Quantities Sheryl Stanley Lenz directs crisis line in Florida | By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Sheryl Stanley Lenz had no idea the deep satisfaction she would derive from serving as a volunteer with Crisis Line when she first be- came a member of that agency in Boca Raton, Florida. The daughter of Jack and Betty Stanley, former residents of Dallas, Sheryl graduated from Dallas Sen- jor High School then attended Col- lege Misericordia and Penn State University achieving a Master's Degree in Human Services. Sheryl was employed as an air- line stewardess after finishing her education and later she and her husband with their two sons made their home at Harveys Lake, but spent the summers in Florida, where Sheryl became involved as a volun- teer with Crisis Line. In 1986 the Lenz's sold their home at Harveys Lake and moved to Boca Raton where Sheryl had the oppor- tunity to give full time to the agency and in late 1986 she became the executive director. “You get as much, or more, from Crisis Line as you give, Sheryl said. “One of the nicest things that hap- pens is when someone calls you and says “Thanks for being there when I needed you, after referring a desper- ate person to an agency that can help or persuading a caller that suicide isn’t the answer.” Since becoming executive of the Crisis Line Information and Referral Services, Sheryl often works 60 or more hours each week. She consid- ers her biggest achievements rais- ing her two sons, 11 and 13, and serving as executive director of the agency. Her agency is planning on open- ing a Teen Hotline in October and Sheryl is enthusiastic about it for she said there is always an increas- ing need for a separate service for teens because there are so many who are troubled in today’s society. During October Crisis Line will also renew its geriatrics interven- tion and outreach program and Sheryl is also excited about this project in which staff members will provide counseling for elderly suf- fering from dibilitating illnesses or problems that could end in a crisis. The former Dallas resident de- rives a great deal of satisfaction from what she does and says the job is always a challenge with a wide variety of needs. Volunteers within the agency call hundreds of lonely, ill and elderly people each day in and around the Boca Raton area and for many of them it is the only call they receive. Sheryl Lenz enjoys the beauty of Boca Raton and its beaches but she doesn’t like the transient popula- tion since she is used to having roots in one place. She has the ability to see all sides of an issue but admits her biggest fault is forgetful- ness and said she once forgot her wedding anniversary. “I enjoy working with the volun- teers of Crisis Line. They have a deep commitment to helping others but I become frustrated when I real- ize that there are so many other Watercolors by Lynn Sands at United Penn An exhibit of watercolor paint- ings by Lynn N. Sands is currently on display in the lobby of the United Penn Bank, Dallas, as part of their ongoing series of exhibits by local artists. Mrs. Sands is noted for her wa- tercolors of landscapes, still lifes, seascapes, and architectural stud- ies. She is a graduate of Villanova and has attended classes at the Philadelphia College of Art and Sue Hand's Imagery. Her favorite artists are Charles Reid and Andrew Wyeth and her work echoes these artists. Lynn Sands has been a serious painter for the past eight years. She is the daughter of illustrator Rudolph Napi, well known for his paintings for the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series and who currently illustrates for Scholastic books. She has been very much influenced by his work. Before becoming an artist, Mrs. Bank Sands worked in medicine. She has served the Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia and Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, in cardiac intensive care and the in- tensive care unit. She has exhibited her art work most recently at Wyo- ming Seminary, The Barn in Lehman, and College Misericordia in the Art Gallery and craft shows. She exhibits regularly with the Ci- der Painters of America. Mrs. Sands lives in the Back Mountain with her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Sands, and their two children, Michael and Laura. An avid baseball fan, her hobbies include cooking, garden- ing, designing humorous cards, and listening to jazz music. Her work will be on exhibit in the bank lobby through October 10. The public is invited to view the exhibit during regular business hours.
