(Post Photo/Rich Johnson) \ Wolensky (continued from page 1) Since January a committee of Dallas Borough mothers have been attending council meetings pres- suring for the rehiring of Wolensky. In March they presented petitions with more than 300 signatures in favor of Wolensky's return. After Lutsey’'s recommendation to hire Runner was voted down, council member Harold Brobst moved to rehireWolensky. The motion was seconded by council member Pat Peiffer. Several members including Tim Carroll and Solicitor Jack Fine tried to say Lutsey's recommendation could not be overturned because as Borough Manager he had the right to hire and fire. In previous meetings with Lut- sey he had told a reporter that he did not hire or fire, that was up to the council, and that he could only recommend. Council mem- ber Bob Brown, chairman of the playground said. “Let's let Wolensky in, I don’t want to see this town go through another Deer Meadows thing. It’s not good for ‘the borough. Lutsey's recommendation to council was then overturned by a 6-1 vote, with Carroll the only no vote, saying, “I'm behind my bor- ough manager.” Marie Eyet, who headed the drive to rehire Wolensky, said after the meeting, “I'm overjoyed that Wolensky will be back. He is great with the children. He is the type of person needed in that position. It was tense for a while but every- thing worked out all right.” In other business, a letter was received from the Department of Transportation stating that the final check of a newly-installed flashing warning device on Route 309 met with state approval and that the rumble strips at that loca- tion will be removed by the depart- ment's forces soon. Inarequest for payment of bills, councilman Donald Cooper made a motion, seconded by Jerry Ma- chell that all bills with the excep- tion of those relative to repairing Reservoir Road be paid. On the question Cooper said he was against paying that bill in excess of $21,000 because it was over the amount that should be legally paid without being put out for bid. “The way I understand the law, everything over $10,000 should go out on bid,” said Cooper. “I'm pro- posing that before payment ofthose bills, our solicitor give us a written We Teach Diving * Local Dive Trips « Complete Equipment Shop Exclusive 1554 Gardner St. Scranton, PA Professional Scuba Diving Instruction "from Beginner to Instructor” « Pool on Premises * Over 40 Years Dacor « Seaquest Experience Sherwood « Tenka Distributors Scuba America Dive School TEER = E + decision on the legality of pay- ment. have three questions: What was the emergency?

Carroll said he thought it was an emergency and that R.N.
