DENMON Staff Writer Among other things, John and Barbara Tarantino, new owners of the Castle Inn, Memorial High- way, Dallas, plan to add more entrees to the dinner menu which is served daily Tuesday through Saturday. “We bought the business Au- gust 28 and took over the entire Castle Nov. 15," said John Tarantino last week. “We are origi- nally from Manhattan but pur- chased a home in the Poconos. We wanted to buy a business but couldn't find what we wanted in the Poconos. Then we saw a pic- ture of the Castle Inn and my wife and I knew immediately that was [ we negotiated with the owner, Fan Roberts, and the deal went through. : “It is our first venture in busi- ness,” said Barbara,” “But we know what we want to do. We plan to serve the same quality food served when the Barbacci's owned the Castle. We have the same staff here that has been here for years. Everything is prepared fresh daily on the premises and 1 do all of the baking except the rolls.” In addition to the regular menu, the Tarantinos plan to have differ- ent specials every week. They also plan to serve some of the entrees that were on the menu when Basil Barbacci owned the Castle. They also plan to add New York Strip steaks, and more veal and Italian foods as well as homemade soups. “We feel it is important that we build a good rapport with the customers,” said Barbara. “We want them to know us and make suggestions as to the kinds of food they like. We also want to hear their criticism when they are served something they don't like.” Barbara will supervise the kitchen, doing the cooking and baking, with help of course, and John will be behind the bar. It will be a family operation just as the Tartantinos said it was on Thanks- giving Day. : “It was really a family day on Thanksgiving,” said Barbara. “Both members of John's and my family came in from New York and helped with the preparation and serving of Thanksgiving Dinner, but our more than 65 diners were made up of various families, who came for dinner.” The Tarantinos will also have some new ideas in the future. “November 30 Mike Hagan, singer and guitar player will be here to entertain with music of the 1960's, 70's and 80's,” said John. “Starting Monday, Dec. 3, it will be football night. We will give out shirts, sunglasses and hats. We will serve Honey Dip Chicken, Buffalo Wings, (hot and extra hot), Chili and sandwiches. We will open at 7 p.m. for ‘Football Night’. “Although we will be closed Sundays, we will take private par- NEW OWNERS, NEW PLANS - Barbara and John Tarantino, new owners of the Castle Inn, discuss the new plans they have for the business.

We plan to leave the Game Room with the bar and the stone fireplace as itis since it is very popular with the diners who have been coming to the Castle Inn for years. We under- stand the place is more than a hundred years old, so why change a good thing?” The Tarantinos also do catering for all occasions both at the Castle and at their large hall in Kingston. They use all prime meats, fresh produce daily, fresh fish and sea- food. In the future they hope to have live bands for special week- ends or occasions. Lake (continued from page 1) there is a large number of homes that owe money it might be fea- gible for the borough to look into en action. He also said that the large amount of money owed has strained the borough's budget. “We still have to pay the hauler whether ‘we get paid or not,” said Gwilliam. “If we don't have the money in garbage fees then we have to go somewhere else and get the money.” Gwilliam said he is hopeful that the money is collected so that more projects can be done in the bor- ough. “We can take this money and put it with some of the savings we are getting with the recycling program and then we can look at said. Even though the borough is starting to put pressure on the homeowners he feels that it is up to the public to pay the bills on & aid reducing garbage rates,” continued from page 1) 91 for transportation contractors of 3¢ per gallon on each 10¢ in- crease through a maximum 40¢ increase was tabled by the board. The proposal was that if the prices decreased the reimbursement would do likewise to the base price. Such base price was to be the price of unleaded gasoline Sept. 4, 1990 at the Lehman Sunoco Station. The board will discuss the pro- posal at a later meeting.

It is not fair to the many people who have paid on a timely basis or even those who came to the borough and set up payment plans.” In other action at the meeting: *Councilman David Abod said that the volume of materials dropped off to be recycled has increased more than 75 percent in the last month.

"n% OPEN SUNDAY 1-5 Til' Xmas Carr uses tie breaker to win football contest In a week of football upsets Leo Carr of Harveys Lake used the tie breaker to win the contest and the prize of two large pizzas from Pizza Perfect in Trucksville. The scores of this week's contestants were not that impressive but Carr correctly picked six of the games and the tie breaker to be named the winner. The competition was close throughout the contest as many | contestants were fooled by the upsets that took place in both the college and pro games. Carr went three for five in the college section; missing only Virginia Tech's upset over Virginia and Iowa's loss to Minnesota. In the pro section no contestant picked Minnesota's upset over Chicago. On the other hand there were many contestants who picked Philadelphia's win over previously unbeaten New York Giants. Games in this week's contest may be just as difficult, exciting and fun to predict. Anyone can enter, and the one to pick the most games correctly will enjoy two pizzas from Pizza Perfect in Trucksville. Make sure you fill out the entry form on page 15 and cheer on your teams.
