people within a reasonable length
of time in a big snowstorm and
they call and tell you how much
hey appreciated it.”
“But he says there are negative
aspects, too, and cites a current
controversy.
“It's frustrating when people
don't realize the time and effort
ground, such as the present gar-
bage and recycling project. If all
the haulers would have agreed
several years ago, it would be eas-
ier. More people complain now than
in the past, it seems nothing you
do suits them,” Walter said. “The
more you try to do for the people it
seems the more they complain.”
“Pon Cooper, vice president of
yDallas Borough Council said
his greatest satisfaction is derived
from knowing he is contributing to
his community. “I ran for council
because I had a number of goals I
would like to achieve to help the
borough. One or two of them have
been and it is satisfying to me that
[iwas successful in these.”
Cooper said that being unable
to.complete needed projects is his
gndiatest source of frustration.
w is frustrating not getting some
of them done, especially when I
know that they should be. Trying
to. do what is best to help the
» community should be the:
goal of every official. It gets to me
when I know something can be
done but some are not doing their
share. A council member's job is
not 4 one meeting a month task. To
do, a job well you have to spend
hours at meetings sometimes two
or three nights a week,” Cooper
commented.
“The greatest reward is once
something is achieved and you
know you were instrumental in
getting it done, at least to me itis.”
r Dallas Township Supervi-
sot Frank Wagner, developing a
working relationship with other
Back Mountain communities has
provided the most challenge and
reward.
“When I came on the supervi-
sors board I wanted to try to put
together a cooperative program,”
saidWagner. “Iwanted to see Dallas
Borough, Dallas Township and
Kingston Township work together
instead of each individually. I have
seen some of that happen. We now
purchase road equipment together
which makes it cheaper, we assist
each other in some roadwork, our
police cooperate, all of which are
arding to me.
Now we are working to get the
crtag and recycling program to
workand once the bugs are worked
out of it, I believe that it will,”
Wagner said.
Wagner noted that most resi-
dents don't realize how much time
and work their officials devote to
community business.
“Most exasperating is that the
people think you're not doing
anything. They don't realize the
time and effort that goes into every
Project no matter how large or
small,” Wagner said. “They protest
even.when you try to do things to
help them. Our township is one of
the, lowest millage townships in
the area. We have only six mills.
It's getting harder and harder trying
to get people to cooperate. It gets
frustrating at times but then you
think of the people who do express
appreciation.”
+n Jackson Township, one su-
pervisor says public service is a
way: to contribute to the commu-
nity in which he grew up.
“Jt certainly isn't for the money
and it's not a glorious job,” said
Joseph Stager, a Jackson Town-
ship. supervisor for the last four
and a half years.
“ve lived in this township all of
my life,” said Stager. “I always felt
it was a good place to live. When it
was election time, I thought I could
~ do some good. You just feel that
there s things to be done.”
“It certainly isn’t for
the money and it’s
not a glorious job.”
Joseph Stager
Jackson Twp. Supervisor
Getting things done however,
doesn’t always make everyone
happy.
“Sometimes you feel you're
damned if you do, damned if you
don't,” said Stager. “But you keep
a clear mind and work through it.
I think the biggest thing is working
together. No matter where you are,
you have to work with fellow coun-
cilman or supervisors.”
Donald Gavigan of Kingston
Township echoed Stager’s com-
ments.
“You get a lot of hard times that
you really don't deserve,” said
Gavigan, a Kingston Township
supervisor. “We do the best for the
overall community. I was born and
raised here. What I wanted to do
was give something bac to the
community.” in
Has he ever thought of quitting?
“Several times it crossed my
mind over the heat of the garbage
thing, a lot of us felt, is this worth
it?” said Gavigan. “But that never
stopped me. I love being a supervi-
sor. I'm doing the best that I can for
the people. That's what I'm here
for.”
So people know and understand
what goes on in their local govern-
ment, Stager would like to see more
people at the meetings.
“Probably my biggest disgrun-
tlement is not enough people get
involved,” said Stager. “Probably
the only time people come out is
when they have to pay a $135
DAMA bill. If you had people come
out you wouldn't have those prob-
lems.”
“For the most part, it's been a
pleasure to be a supervisor for the
last four and a half years. I've
gained a lot from it,” said Stager. “I
have been frustrated to certain
degrees. It's usually when people
will call you and they don't have
the entire story. They rant and
rave and they don’t have all the
facts. Being a township supervisor
you find your time is not your own.
Sometimes it's an important is-
sue, and sometimes people don't
respect your privacy.” |
“I think it's important for people
to find out what the problem is,
and what possible solutions are.”
said Stager.

Vice-president Don Cooper said the council expected to appoint
the three candidates who are running unopposed in November to
fill the vacancies. They are William Roberts, William Peiffer, brother
of present council member Patricia Peiffer and Marie Eyet.
If-appointed, the three will fill the vacancies until the end of
December when they will then move into their four year positions.
The Council will then be able to appoint two other individuals to fill
the term of Tim Carroll whose term expires in 1993 and the seat of
Bob Brown, whose seat expires in December.
In other business the council received a letter of resignation from
William Tabor, president of Dallas Borough Zoning Board. Council
also received a letter from the Back Mountain Library requesting
the borough's support in the form of a $1,500 contribution.
James Davis of Dallas asked why council committees do not have
three members on a committee. He was told that Dallas Borough
has had two-person committees for the past nine years.
In new business the council approved the submission of calcu-
lations of the 1992 obligation for the Dallas Borough police and road
department employees pension plan foniripyiions as required by
Act 205.
Cooper reported that during the month of August the police
cruiser traveled 5,570 miles, answered 260 complaints, investi-
gated 17 traffic accidents, assisted eight motorists, provided 31 es-
corts, answered seven burglar alarms and gave 30 assists. The
department also made 72 traffic arrests and 10 non traffic arrests
‘and turned over $70 for parking and reports to the borough secre-
tary. Cooper also reported $1,137.75 in fines received from the
magistrate had been turned over to the borough.
Borough Manager Lutsey reported that Franklin Street Storm
Drainage System and paving was completed at a total cost of
$29,429.
Lutsey also said that Jack Wolensky, playground director, had
submitted the end of the year report and also returned the $200
advanced to him at the beginning of the season.
“He did a wonderful job with the program,” said Lutsey. “There
was a wide variety of events enjoyed by the children and all of the
activities were funded by the soda machine and snack profits and
the $200 advance was returned. Wolensky indicated all of his staff
would like to return for next summer with the exception of one, who
will be employed out of state,” said Lutsey.
Lutsey also told council that the Huntsville Road water project
is completed and PennDOT has said that paving will be done during
September, and that Dallas Water Company wants to improve
water service on Machell Avenue by installing eight inch to 10-inch.
water mains and digging up the street from top to bottom.
Lutsey also reported that the storm drain system from Colum-
bia Avenue to Picketts Restaurant will be cleaned in the future.
