Police (continued from page 1) 1990, they will receive another $640 raise, and in 1991 an addi- tional $830 under the terms of the three-year contract. The police association had asked for a salary schedule that put patrolmen who had completed their six month probationary period at $17,501 in 1989, and reached: $19,129 in 1991. Adam Hozempa, Jr., of Adam's Clothes in the Shavertown Shop- ping Center was outspoken in his opinion of the officers’ salaries. “What they make is lousy,” he said. “They should be making around $24,000.” Hozempa, like other business- persons interviewed, has called on the police for assistance, and has been pleased with their response. ° “I think they are really good. Anytime we call them they're here within a minute,” he said. Margaret Dymond of Shaver- town said she has noticed the high turnover rate on the force, because, | “I used to know a lot of them, buy not anymore. It must be tough (to live on the salaries) if they have a Dallas Kiwanis shares meeting family.” The arbitrator's awards cover the period fromJanuary 1, 1989 to December 31, 1991. “This award jeopardizes the quality of law enforcement because police departments in the Back Mountain will now be nothing but stepping stones. Officers see no future here,” said Moravec when asked how his group feels about the award. “The Back Mountain is- an excellent place to work and live, but the salaries make it impossible to survive, let alone live,” he added. Recently the Dallas Kiwanis had the honor of sharing a joint meeting with the Swoyersville Kiwanis, at the American Legion Club in Swoyersville. The event attracted 21 members from the Dallas Kiwanis. Shown above, from left, Len Grozalis, Swoyersville Past Lt. Governor, Xavier Abbott, Swoyersville, Past Lt.
