The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 22, 1989 5 Former Post editor Freeman joins state crime commission By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Michael J. Reilly, chairman of Pennsylvania Crime Commission, announced Feb. 1 that J.R. Free- man, at one time editor of The Dallas Post, had joined the Com- mission as Director of Special Projects, assuming his duties immediately. In making the announcement, O'Reilly said, “I have followed Freeman's investigative reporting &areer for the last 10 years and “have always been impressed with the thoroughness, diligence and creativity he has shown in his work. I'm delighted that we were able to lure him away from his first love- investigating reporting.” Freemanrecently retired as staff writer for the Greensburg Tribune- Review for which he wrote exten- sively about La Cosa Nostra and other organized crime groups and public corruption in the state. Many of Freeman's stories have been published in other newspa- pers and magazines and a number of his articles also have been pub- lished in the Congressional Rec- ord. Freeman has been a newspa- perman all his adult life. After at- tending Southern Methodist Uni- versity, he was employed for 12 years by The Dallas (Texas) Morn- ing News. Later, he was co-pub- lisher of a weekly newspaper in Colorado. He was a consultant to LIFE Magazine in the late 1960's and during the early 1970s was editor- in-chiefof three newspapers in the local area, The Dallas Post, Abing- tonJournaland Mountaintop Eagle. He was one of the first journalists to report the infiltration of organ- ized crime into the Pocono Moun- tain region of Pennsylvania. Doris Mallin, former Dallas Post editor, joined the Pennsylvania Crime Commission two years ago as Public Affairs Officer. Ms. Mallin is a native and lifetime resident of Dallas. She was affiliated with the Dallas Post for 22 years. Learning (continued from page 1) to offer on-site training to each of the state's intermediate units. The workshop, “Preparing LD Students for College,” is followed with an on- campus ‘Lead Team’ training which establishes three-member resource teams for each intermediate unit. Technical assistance is provided through the Lead Teams. The train-. ing program is funded through a grant fromthe United States and Pennsylvania departments of edu- cation. College Misericordia does not recruit learning disabled students, but those students interested in applying to the college should first secure a standard admissions form from the admissions office; then submit the application along with a cover letter briefly summarizing the learning disability. The stu- dent should also submit a copy of a psychological report containing results of a recent Wchsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The college also requires an of- ficial high school transcript which provides the types of special edu- cation provided during high school if possible, and two letters of rec- ommendaticn from educators, one of which sheuld be completed by a special education professional. ¥ Results of the SAT should be sub- mitted but will not be used in making an admission decision. A committee takes a good look at the applicants folders and if all the pieces fall into place, the appli- cants will be interviewed. Inter- views are conducted as a family unit. When accepted, students par- ticipate not only in the ALP but also enroll in the regular classes where they must achieve the same minimum averages as all students to progress to a major in their sophomore year. At the present time, few of the students are from the local area; most are from New Jersey, New York and Maryland. They form a predictable circuit beginning from Connecticut to New York, Virginia, then to New Jersey and then to Pennsylvania. There are innumerable individu- als who have become successful, who had learning disabilities. Among these are Jackie Stewart, Bruce Jenner, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Gen. George Patton, Cher, Thomas Edison and recently Tom Cruise, the young actor who battles dys- lexia. 0 Account FREE 2 Top Sirloins To Anyone Opening A New 90 Day Purchase Required BLOCK BUSTER #2 Judy Fitch entertains at Meadows Residents at the Meadows Nursing Center, Dallas, recently enjoyed a special music program of old favorite and contemporary songs presented by Judy Fitch, the 1988 Miss Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Water (continued from page 1) may be taken over by a larger firm especially if the smaller company is having a problem. House Bill 25 would also contain legislation making it easier for DER or the PUC to make large companies take over smaller ccmpenies if they are in trouble. . According to the bill, if the cur- rent rates are not enough to meet the purchase price of the smaller company, the larger company can raise the rates to meet the pur- chase amount. The members of the Commis- sion agreed that their two priori- ties are to determine methods to solve water problems and develop- Just Say Charge It! 90 Days Same as Cash YEAR ROUND ORDER 350 LBS.

Members authorized Molski to contact those municipalities which had not sent in their checks and request them to do so since the Commission needs the money to pay for upcoming expenses.
