Denmon) Dallas High School Class of '75 makes donation to honor deceased classmates “Atour reunion last summer we decided we wanted to present something to the high school in memory of our three deceased classmates; John Appel, Debra Wasserott and Mark Wiener,” passed around a bucket and took up a collection to purchase something. said Gilroy, “So we “Since a new library was under construction we decided to wait to see what was needed. Instead of books we decided to present video cabinets to hold the video tapes in the library which were greatly appreciated by the administration and the librarian. Gilroy said. The two plaques will be attached to the front of the cabinets as a permanent memory of our classmates," JOHN R. APPEL DEBRA J. WASSEROTT MARK B. WIENER (continued from page 1) ~ Hislop, who says he was man- ager at Back Mountain TeleCable from 1972 to 1979, maintains that $400,000 could extend service to ~ residents along the borough's 32 miles of roadway. © Hislop said that he constructed ~ the Sweet Valley Cable System, which is now owned by the Blue Ridge Cable Company, and a sys- tem for 200 customers in the Elk Grove area of Sugarloaf Township. In the meantime, council presi- dent William Wilson said that resi- dents should stayed tuned for more public hearings on cable service. “Our next step is to see what our solicitor says,” said Wilson. “A lot of elderly people are unhappy with the price. I think it's a bit high myself. I think there's a problem with the service too. I've talked ~ with people who say that you can pick up cable static on the FM radio. That must mean their lines are leaking.” ~ Currently, the approximately 1,000 borough customers pay Tele- ~ Media $17 lor basic cable service, which includes 32 channels. They are provided with converter boxes for free, but must pay $3.50 a month for the remote control if they don't receive any premium stations like HBO. Fifty cents of the rate residents pay is a 3 per- cent franchise fee to the borough. Whatever the council decides, Tele-Media is likely to remain in the picture for at least the next two years. The company has a fran- chise agreement with the borough which will not end until September of 1993. Tele-Media, the largest privately- owned cable company in the United States, also serves Dallas Borough and the townships of Lehman, Dallas, Franklin and Kingston. Zagorski disputes allegations that there many residents can't get cable service. “Joe Sgarlat, the borough repre- sentative [or television has con- tacted us twice. In one event, the person got it. In the other the person decided they didn't want it,” said Zagorski. “We'll construct cable if there are 30 homes per mile of road. If there is one home per mile, we can't do it economi- cally. To the best of my knowledge, we serve every street. I'd say it'd be in the single digits of people who want it and can't have it." Sgarlat said that in four years, he could only remember one com- plaint about not being able to get cable TV. “I believe a lot of people are complaining that the pricing is too high," said Sgarlat, “and maybe we can put something in cheaper and give something back to the people. We're kind of excited about it.” “I have no complaint with their service. If there are problems they get out there and fix them. My complaint would be with the pro- gramming. I'd like to see more movies and some people would like to see more sports and such,” Sgarlat said. “I don't know of any channel of any worthwhile value that we don't offer,” said Zagorski, a Trucksville resident who manages five other Tele-Media branches, located in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, the largest of which is in Hershey. “What we have done is gone from 1986 when for $9 you got 12 basic channels, to 1991 where 32 basic channels are $16.50 a month,” said Zagorski. Zagorski said that Tele-Media has not made a profit from the Harveys Lake area since the com- pany purchased Dallas Cable Vi- sion in September of 1986. “We've invested a lot of money into Harveys Lake,” said ZagorskKi. “We're certainly not operating under a profit now.” Ifthe idea goes through, Sgarlat would like to reduce rates, increase the stations available, or give bor- ough residents a rebate in garbage or sewer fees. “We really don't have anything set up yet. It's still in the talking stages,” said Sgarlat, but “once everybody's decided todo it. There's nota doubt in my mind that we can do it."
