Je . ps ! ho, “SS . The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 1, 1990 3 Sabol, Miers named to police chiefs board By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer Two of the Back Mountain's finest have been elected to serve on the executive board of a state po- lice association. Kingston Township Police Chief Paul Sabol and Dallas Township Police Chief Carl Miers both were elected to serve on the executive board of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association at its annual convention last month. Sabol, who has been a member of the association for almost 20 years, is beginning a one year term as the first vice-president. He has served on the executive board for a decade and three years ago began serving as an officer. The by-laws of the organization say that every officer serves a one- year term and automatically moves up in rank until becoming execu- tive director. Sabol was elected fourth vice president in 1987 and has contin- ued to move up to his current position. Next year he will be named president and then serve as execu- tive director. Sabol said he feels that it is an honor to serve as an officer in the organization whose membership consists of approximately 1,300 police chiefs in the state. “It is a good organization and to be named to the board that runs it is an honor,” he said. Miers was elected to his first term as a member-at-large on the board and is president of the North- eastern region police chiefs. He joined the organization in 1974 and also feels honored by being elected. “You have a group of chiefs from all over the state, and when they feel you are capable of handling a position it means a lot,” said Miers. Both men praise the work of the organization and its members. “It is a good organization that helps every municipality that is a part of it,” said Miers. “We have a terrific training session and I haven't at- tended a conference where I didn't come back and utilize something that I learned.” The association is responsible for teaching new techniques, help- ing police chiefs handle problems that are commonly found, and pushing for legislation to help police departments. One of the biggest advantages to being part of the association is communication, according to Sabol and Miers. “The association repre- sents the smallest one-man de- partments and the largest police department in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,” said Miers. “When you can talk with all these other offi- cers you learn a lot.” “A lot of departments run into the same problems and you can find out how other departments handled them and try to adapt it to find a solution for your depart- ment,” said Sabol. Miers also said that contacts made with other departments help in crime fighting. “Crime has no boundaries and you have to be able to work with other depart- ments to stop crimes that occur throughout 20 or 30 municipali- ties,” he said. Both men also agreed that sup- port from their municipalities help them when dealing with the asso- ciation. “A department is only as good as the community wants it to be,” said Miers. “I have received nothing but total support from the supervisors and that helps.” Sabol said that the Kingston Township supervisors also sup- ported him when joining the asso- ciation and that has enabled him to move up to the position he cur- rently holds. Dallas Borough Police ChiefJack Fowler is also a member‘of the association. Sabol and Miers agreed that Fowler's membership will help that borough. “This type of thing benefits the community as well,” said Miers. Sabol added, “Jack (Fowler) is a good man and it may not be long before he might be part of the executive board as well, and that will really say a lot for the Back Mountain.” gpiST HURL sAvERTOWN METH Jisiiung md EXPECTED!

During the past year, we have had to remove va- grants or drunkards from the premises—persons who have en- tered through broken windows or doors.” The building has been in this condition approximately two years despite the fact that the Dallas Borough took formal action in the form of a resolution by the Council in September, 1988 that the prem- ises were dangerous and a public nuisance and directed Borough Solicitor Fine to institute an Ac- tion in Equity for the demolition of the building and for such other relief as the Court deemed neces- sary to make the premises safe. said Police Despite the council's directive, the building still stands and now, two years later, is in worse condi- tion than previously. Al Pellegrini, an employee of the Prothonotary’'s Office, said the first papers were filed March 21, 1989, in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County in Equity against Ronald Post t/a TLC Enterprises and James B. Post, Jr., defen- dants, but were never served. The complaint was reinstated Nov. 9, 1989, but again was not served. The complaint was again reinstated March 20, 1990, at the request of the solicitor and this time Deputy Sheriff Lt. Felix Wawer served the Notice and Complaint in Equity on Ron Post, trading as TLC Enterprises, and also on James B. Post, Jr., on March 21. In less than 15 days, the Posts answered the complaint through their counsel, Atty. Robert Scovell, denying that they trade or do busi- ness as TLC Enterprises, and that there is no sole proprietorship or partnership owned by Ronald Post and James B. Post, Jr., trading as TLC Enterprises. The defendants also denied that they owned the property at 38 Main St., Dallas Borough. The defendants requested that the Complaint in Equity be dis- missed against them for the rea- sons they gave in their answer, which was sworn and subscribed to before a Notary Public. While the Posts deny they were owners of the 38 Main Street Dal- las Borough address, members of the Kozick family, who owned the building until 1975, stated that a mortgage held by them was paid off by a check signed by James B. Post. TLC Enterprises, Inc. is regis- tered in Harrisburg in the Depart- ment of Revenue Office, dated March 17, 1975 as the date of incorporation, doing business as the Hearthstone Steak Pub, Dal- las, Pa., with a mailing address of 1902 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, Pa. Richard Chaney, 229 Lacka- wanna Ave., Swoyersville, Pa., is listed as president; and Noel A. Thomas, Jr., 1902 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, Pa., as secretary and treasurer. Despite this registration. mem- bers of the Kozick family said that a March, 1975 deal for sale of the property did not go through, but the corporation reorganized and purchased the property later that same year. The new reorganiza- tion is apparently not on file in Harrisburg. The question now seems to be who owns 38 Main Street, Dallas Borough, and what is the borough council going to do about remov- ing the dangerous conditions there. Council members are in agreement that the building is an eyesore and a fire trap and say they want it demolished. Several attempts to contact Atty. Fine and the Posts were unsuc- cessful.
