On April 29, 1987, Kelly was sentenced to a total term of imprisonment which amounted to a minimum of five years and a maximum of 10 years. Two such terms of imprisonment of the same length were to run concurrently. Chief Miers and his fellow law enforcement officers learned on Jan. 15, 1990 that Kelly was being considered for the furlough pro- gram of the State Correctional . System. No notice was given to the victims of his serious crimes. and they apparently can have no inlu- ence on the decision. Neither was the arresting agency notified. Chief Miers learned of the situation only because the chief of police of the community to which Kelly was to .be furloughed was concerned and tence and the district attorney who prosecuted the case. If no negative response is received in 30 days from either, an investigation would attorney on Nov. 14, 1989. He has been told the district attorney did respond negatively, but he does not know whether or not the judge has responded. Officals contacted at State Cor- rectional Institution Retreat con- firmed that Kelly has applied for the furlough. Superintendent Erhard said last week that Kelly has had a good record inside the prison, that he has had no miscon- duct for nine months and is eli- gible for pre-release status. Buthe emphasized that no decison has been made. “It is a long process,” explained Erhard. “There is a criteria to fol- low, a misconduct clause to be evaluated, consideration of the support staff, then a letter to be written to the judge. There must alsobe an investigation of the home where an inmate is to be fur- loughed. Then a staff of five con- siders the approval and this is where the judge's opinion carries weight. If he replies negatively about the furlough, the inmate's request is denied.” By SCOTT A.

Shavertown, $A N1-675 - 4221 (Original Price) : Winter Merchandise “What we are talking about is a revision of plans, not a major prob- lem,” stated Jim Palumbo, Home World's utility engineer. “The key isdrainage. If we make the changes requested here, we are looking to start construction in March. Is there any major impediment?” Sutton answered, “I see this plan as lacking a lot.” he asked the developers how Dallas Township was considering the plans. “We heard nothing was going to hap- pen in Dallas Township,” Sutton said. He explained his concern was aroadway in the plans that crossed over the border with Dallas Town- ship. If Dallas Township rules against the subdivision in their area “then we are looking at a dead-end road?” Sutton asked the developers. Palumbo said the plans could be changed to include only the Lehman Township portion, and the road could be ended as a cul-de- sac for a temporary solution until Dallas Township approves their portion of the subdivision. “Even- tually the road will be taken all the way through,” Palumbo assured the commission. Commission member Allen Major supported the idea to draw plans showing only the Lehman Township section. “We need to act as if Dallas Township wasn’t even there,” he said. The Planning Commission de- items for changes tonight... I do not want the developers to come back later and say ‘well, you did not say that before." We want to keep this thing open in case we see something else,” Sutton warned the developers. : The Maplewood Glen subdivi- sion is an 80 acre project, with 57 acres in Dallas Township. In the Lehman Township section, 48 apartment units are planned. Each would cover about 1,200 square feet and include a garage. The buildings are planned to be two- stories high and cost an estimated $100,000 plus.Water will be sup- ply through various community wells. : Sign up for Back Mt. baseball Sat.
