The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 8, 1989 3 Dispute (continued from page 1) a total of 106 hours from October 9 through Thursday, November 2, one of those days from morning until about 12:45 a.m. the next morning. She received $312 for the total hours. Neither did she have a clerk the final two days of her time in the office since the woman who filled that position had injured herself and was unable to report to work. When council offered Strosnider $6,000 she asked them if she ac- cepted would they include a clause that she would be paid extra money for extra hours. The members said if she worked extra hours one day she could take compensatory time the next. Strosnider says did not agree with that condition because she said there is not sufficient time to take hours away from the work. Strosnider said she did not re- sign Thursday night, but wrote a letter of resignation Friday, sub- mitting it retroactive to Thursday night. Attempts to contact council president Donald Shaffer Monday night and Tuesday were unsuc- ess but. Councilman Jerry achell did comment on the issue. “The second item on the budget was the manager's salary,” Mach- ell said. “When there was not enough money, it became a tight deal. I felt there was room to nego- tiate. There was $3.90 per hour listed in the budget for a clerk which we don't have, and I thought we should have asked her if she was willing to add this to her salary and work without a clerk since we were tight for money,” Machell continued. When asked why council did not raise taxes if more money was needed, Machell said since council _ had raised taxes last time, they were afraid it would cause an ¥ uprising if taxes were increased again this year. ; “The road workers were given only 25 cents more per hour and have done nothing about to-date, grant applications to be filled in and submitted to the proper agen- cies, water connection problems, sewage lines, employees to super- vise and dozens and dozens of letters and other paperwork," Strosnider explained. Strosnider said that she worked the police are in arbitration,” Machell said. “I'm sorry to see Kathryn go. I was hoping there was room for negotiation. She did an excellent job and I'm sorry council gould see the way clear to keep er." Mayor Paul LaBar said he hated to see Strosnider leave. “She was excellent in her position, well-or- ganized and efficient. She did more than her share of the work and was very dedicated. I doubt that the borough will get anyone as good as Kathryn. She earned more than she was ever paid,” LaBar said. Strosnider is not the only per- son gone. A fifth policeman was to be added to the department this month but was cut form the budget. The 1990 proposed $417,000 budget as changed by council has a large amount allotted to road repairs, recreation, and $10,000 for a proposed new heating plant for the borough building. The borough has had three managers in the past year, Bob Brown, whoresigned, was replaced by Gary Allabaugh who left under unusual circumstances, and Strosnider, who prior to assuming the manager's job was the borough clerk. When she became manager, Margaret Davis accepted the posi- tion as clerk but resigned due to illness in the family and was re- placed by Deborah Kelly, who re- signed last week. wr to raffle turkey The Annual Turkey Raffle spon- sored by the Back Mountain Jay- cees is now underway.

Misericordia gallery named for MacDonald College Misericordia’s Art Gal- lery in Regina Hall has been re- named The Marquis George MacDonald Art Gallery, said Dr. Pasquale DiPasquale, Jr., Miseri- cordia’s president. Misericordia’s board of direc- tors and the Marquis George MacDonald Foundation recently celebrated the dedication of the newly remodeled and relocated art gallery in Regina Hall, a one story building adjacent to the Rosenn Plaza. The gallery's new name acknowledges the late Marquis George MacDonald, a philanthro- pist who created the foundation. MacDonald, the first Papal mar- quis in this country, was active during his lifetime in a number of charitable organizations. He died in New York in 1961. The Marquis George MacDonald Foundation assisted Misericordia with the costs of the recent renova- tions to the art gallery, said Linda Stallone, executive director of in- stitutional advancement at Mis- ericordia. The foundation also has given the first contributions to an endownment for the arts at Miseri- cordia. “This renewed facility for the arts is another indication of Mis- ericordia’s commitment to the fine arts,” DiPasquale said. By refurbishing Regina Hall, formerly a classroom, and turning it into an art gallery, Misericordia can offer its 1,300 students and the community professional fine Extra copies of The Dallas Post's 100th Anniversary edition are still available.

Power (continued from page 1) The pharmacist in Stapinski's said the power was off for about three or four hours but the store remained open. “We used flash- lights to work,” the pharmacist said. Ed Davis of Jedidia's Restau- rant was annoyed to say the least. “I lost about $1700 Sunday,” Davis said. “Between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. is the busiest time of our day on Sunday. We had a full restaurant but could not pre- pare the food to serve them, so we had to close. “This is the second week it has happened, we had an outage the Saturday before and between the two times I lost about $2,700. I have a gas grill but that only kept the food hot a short time. “The last time the company said a tree fell on wires in the vicinity of Weis Market but there are no trees in that area,” Davis said. Joseph Szklany, manager of Friendly’s Restaurant, said the outage also affected their busi- ness. “We had no power for hours and it was during the time of day | that you can't serve just anything. If it was later in the afternoon we could have served ice cream. About all we could do was have our employees do work around the restaurant,” Szklany said. Early Monday morning the bright yellow service trucks bear- ing the blue UGI logo could be seen in various areas of the Back Moun- tain as the employees went through checking the various starting and - A stopping points of the wire distri- | bution.
