BY x $ & ; 4 : & The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 15,1989 3 oe Al i ‘No contest’ was most common theme in Tuesday's elections By CHARLOT M. DENMON - Staff Writer The voter turnout in the No- vember 7 general election was scant in most Back Mountain communities since there was little or no competition with the excep- tion of Harveys Lake Borough and Region 3 of Lake-Lehman School District and Lake Township. The official count held Friday showed no change in the tallies turned in Tuesday night after the polls closed. Harveys Lake had a unique situation when the candidates running for mayor tied with 433 votes each. The recount on Friday showed the two candidates, Democrat Joseph Boyle, incum- bent, and Republican Joseph Purcell still tied. The usual process to determine the official winner is todraw straws or insert a knife in a book with the highest last digit designating the winner. If Boyle wins it will be a clean sweep by the Demdcrats, but if Purcell wins he will be a Republican mayor with a com- pletely Democrat council. Terry Jones was reelected as Harveys Lake's tax collector, and elected to serve on council were William Wilson, Edward Kelly, Richard Boice, for four years; and Joseph Miscavage, two years. Mildred Dobash, running for Region 1 school director had no opposition. - In Lehman Township Kenneth Williams had no opposition for the Region 2 seat of the Lake-Lehman School District. Peggy Moyer was reelected tax collector with no opposition and Republican David Sutton defeated Democrat Igna- tius Hozempa 407-308 for the supervisor's seat vacated by Alan Major. In Region 3 of the Lake: Lehman School District, it was a close race between Joseph “Red” Jones and Eleanor Miller, with Jones receiv- ing 602 votes to Miller's 597. These figures remained the same after the official vote count on Friday. Newcomer Martin McMahon cap- tured 820 votes in the election. In Ross Township there was no competition with Kenneth Wil- liams receiving 214 votes as Re- Democrats retain Lake council majority By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff Harveys Lake Democrats main- tained their majority on the bor- ough's council with victories in last week's elections.
