While managers .atthe shop said they were “...grate- ful to the Back Mountain people who appreciate our establishment.” Pizza Perfect is in the process of expanding its dining area as reno- vations are being made which will move some of the seating into the ore City Butcher shop. of being remodeled, but despite Grotto's Pizza is also in the midst the work going on the public found time to pick up plenty of pizza and cast a lot of votes for this shop. Armond Mascoli, a partner in the restaurant, said that he was happy that they won a category in the contest. He said that they were also hoping to win more than one, but said they have loyal support- ers who they enjoy seeing. Sharon Eustice, manager at Apple Tree Too, said she was sur- prised to hear that the shop had won the best pie with the works, but added, “It is a pleasant sur- prise.” She said she knew the pizza was good but felt that some of the bigger shops in the area might walk away with the win. “The contest was a lot of fun and we had a lot of our customers who we know pretty well give us a lot of support,” she said. The Post thanks all the partici- pating restaurants and the voters. The contest was more popular than ever imagined, and was conducted throughout in a positive and pleas- urable manner.

Duffy also testified that he went back to the bar later that night to buy more beer. He said that he was with Ed- ward Kelly, who was 16-years old atthe time. Duffy again purchased beer from Jones. Both Kelly and Duffy testified that as they were leaving the bar they met Erin Keefer and Donna Compton, who were classmates of the boys. - The young women asked Kelly * to buy them a bottle of Jim Beam liquor and he returned to the bar and made the purchase, accord- ing to his testimony. According to court records, both Eleanor and “Jigger” Jones testi- fied at the trial that each is under @ doctor's care and taking prescrip- " tion medications for a variety of illnesses, conditions, or disabili- Bar cited 7 other times According to records from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, the Lake Silk- worth Hotel has been cited seven other times since Eleanor Jones was named licensee of the establishment in 1971. Citations were issued for the following: September, 1988, Sales To Minors - Seven day suspen- sion eDecember, 1982, Sales to Minors - Three day suspen- sion. The original penalty for this violation was seven days, but an appeal was made the the penalty modified. ©1980, Perpetrated a Fraud in obtaining a Sunday sales permit - Five day suspension. ©1979, Perpetrated a Fraud in obtaining a Sunday sales permit and falsified records - The defendant was fined $350 for the two offenses. 21979, Perpetrated a Fraud in obtaining a Sunday sales permit and failed to keep records for a period of two years - $200 fine and revoca- tion of the Sunday sales per- mit . 1971, Sales between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. - $150 fine. ¢1971, Refilled liquor bottles - $500 fine. ties. “Jigger” Jones also testified that he did not serve the two minors and he believed the alcohol could have been stolen. In making a decision on the case, Judge Robert F. Skwaryk said that he found the testimony of the youths to be “...most credible and that the Bureau has met its burden of proof.” Skwaryk also said that Jones’ testimony was “...largely self-serving, and (he) did not give it much weight.” In this case Eleanor Jones as found guilty of furnishing alco- holic beverages to minors and furnishing liquor for consumption off the premises. Jones was fined $3,000 and received a 20 day suspension for the convictions. The judge did dismiss one count of allowing minors to frequent the premises, saying that there was not enough evidence to show that minors were at the place for more than two visits. Jones also faced criminal charges in connection with the incidents involved with this case. Testimony was given in Luzerne County Court in April on the crimi- nal charges and Jones was found guilty of providing the alcohol to the minors. So far no sentence has been given in that case. It is believed that the charges brought against Jones were spurred by the death of a Lake- Lehman graduate on the same night as the incidents in this case. Richard Hillman was shot and killed by Chris Smith outside the Smith Smith home after the two were involved in an argument. Both had attended high school graduation parties at which alcohol was served. Smith was found guilty of involun- tary manslaughter and served three months in a reform school before his decision was recently over- turned. In the second case againstJones, testimony was given by Robert Swiatek that on March 11, 1989 he entered the Lake Silkworth Hotel and purchased beer. Swiatek was 20-years old at the time. Again, Jones testified that he was under a doctor's care and was taking medication and he believed the alcohol could have been stolen. Judge Skwaryk found Jones guilty of allowing a minor to fre- quent the establishment and of furnishing alcohol to a minor. The sentence included a $1,000 fine and a 10 day suspension. Skwaryk also noted in his find- ings that he is concerned thatJones tends bar approximately 95 per- cent of the time while suffering from medical conditions and /or side effects from medications which affect his balance, orientation, and memory. Skwaryk added, “Notwith- standing Licensee's and her hus- band's medical problems, she remains responsible to ensure that the liquor laws are enforced. If her husband cannot adequately per- form his duties then he should not be tending bar.” The 30 day suspension will run consecutively from November 26, 1990 to December 26, 1990. (continued from page 1) Hillman kept advancing towards Smith so the youth shot Hillman twice. The case against Smith was heard in Luzerne County Court and Judge Donald O'Malley found the youth guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March of this year. O'Malley sentenced Smith to a reform school outside of Philadel- phia for three years. Smith's attorney, Basil Russin, appealed the decision saying that O'Malley's decision was inconsis- tent. O'Malley said the killing was justified but Smith “...was guilty of reckless and grossly negligent conduct when he undertook to introduce a loaded revolver into the differences between him and Richard Hillman.” In overturning the decision, the panel said that O'Malley estab- lished that Smith acted in self- defense and, “Once self-defense is established, the only disposition permitted, regardless of the degree of homicide, is discharge.” The father of the victim has said that he will push for for an appeal of the court's decision. Ray Hill- man has said that he is upset with the decision and feels that justice has not been served in the matter. “My wife and I have lost complete faith in the justice system,” said Hillman. “We have had to live with Richie's death everyday and we have had to live with all the legali- ties that are keeping his Killer out of jail,” he added. It is not known if Luzerne County District Attorney Correale Stevens will appeal this decision.

Swart- wood, who is conscious of conser- vation, says both internal environ- ment and external environment is important. “It’s great to be back and see all the familiar faces,” Swartwood said. “It seems so long since the doors closed.

Barefoot (continued from page 1) favorite is barefooting. He usu- ally skis every morning depend- ing on the weather and the wa- ter, wearing a custom-designed wet suit by Waterworks because of his size. “My dad first taught me to ski, then Ron Scarpa from Florida taught me. He is a world cham- pion and skis competitively. Some day I would like to ski in competition, but when I get older,” Rocky said. “Ricky Pow- ell also taught me when I was in Florida. “I ski with my mother and father but I'm better than they are because practice more than they do,” Rocky explained. “Now, I'm learning to ski barefoot on one foot and went a mile before I fell in the water the first time.” The youngster's favorite ath- lete is Scott Clark of Cypress Gardens, who does overland skiing wearing a helmet. Rocky has other interests besides skiing such as bike riding, swim- ming, goldfish, turtles, and what else but Ninja Turtles. Leonardo is his favorite. But give him a boat, a tow rope and clear water and Rocky is ready to take off, barefoot across the lake, putting toshame most of the other skiers on the water. WITH-THIS CARD... .
