When Exxon offered to sell Spurlin the station, they did so with the agreement that they would b gsponsible for the cleanup. ut Exxon won't provide a plan for cleanup to be approved by the Department of Environmental Resources. Without a cleanup plan, banks won't provide Spurlin with the inancing to buy the station, even though he’s not the one respon- sible for the cleanup. “To clean up the area contami- nation because it's a service sta- tion would take very little,” said Spurlin. “Financing was no prob- lem except for the environmental prohlem.” \, new fiberglass gasoline taliks installed in 1981, Spurlin says that there's no problem with lealss now. @ ui bought the business frotn his father, William, five years “ago. His father had owned the business since 1976. On the walls of the station office is an award from Exxon for having clean restrooms, and an AAA map of the area to help travelers find their way. “There are a lot of people relying on this place for gas and for serv- ice. Many people have become accustomed to what we offer,” said Spurlin. “I kind of specialize in one-day jobs and by working by intment, getting things done in¥one day.” Just because the Exxon station is going to close doesn't mean that Spurlin is getting out of the auto business. He's looking at three different locations in the Back Mountain to open an auto repair shop. “Of the three I'm looking at, none of them will have gas,” said Spurlin. Spurlin is notifying his charge customers of the station closing, and will follow up with a letter on his new location. While he works on setting up a new location, he'll maintain his service for members of AAA. “I'll probably have to lay off 10 employees until I get moved into a new location,” said Spurlin. Ironically, even if Spurlin had been able to purchase the station, Exxon told him that he wouldn'tbe able sell Exxon gasoline because there's not enough traffic at the location. “Ithink all'the oil companies are getting out of direct delivery and turning it over to distributors,” said Spurlin. “They feel that they're cutting costs and that will bring big profits. I only know of one other place Exxon directly supplies. That's in Scranton, and it's for sale and the guy is having the same problems I have.” “You see fewer and fewer service stations. You have stop and gas shops and garages,” said Spurlin. “There’s not much profit in gas. Gas is more or less a convenience and a way of bringing in people. It keeps people familiar with you.” SUMMER SALE 20-50% OFF THE ASUAL MAN United Penn Plaza, Kingston 283-2125 Mon.-Tue.-Wed.-Fri. 10-5:30, Thurs. 10-8, Sat. 10-5 By Dr. Karen Dragon an independent doctor of optometry located in WALxMART ' $500 oF a complete eye exam for eyeglasses or contacts. * Must present coupon at time of exam. ft can tans tem tm ma in A MY A Sty my mat Mae Call and ask about our Senior Citizen Discounts and Specials.

Though it looked like a mess when it was first found, after refinishing, the cabinet fetched the library $700. “That makes you feel good when you get something that's not in good condition and some people volunteer and you end up with something very attractive,” said Kutz. Kutz's work with the library is made easier by the fact that she happens to be very fond of books. “Think about it, what would a town be without a library. A com- munity has to have a library. People come here for research. Little chil- dren go for the story hours and they learn how important reading is.” Her children, Mary Elizabeth Kutz Murphy and John Kutz, now grown, have both helped out at the auction in the past. “Alot of other organizations have attempted to emulate this auction. It's hard to do,” said Kutz. “This library exists because of the vol- unteers who come in here.” New Misericordia president wants college to to community By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff When Carol Ann Jobe, College Misericordia’s new president, talks about a college's role in the world today, there are no ivory towers in the picture. Pristine and unapproachable is not her idea of what a college should be. “We cannot ignore what is hap- pening in society,” said Jobe, 50, who started as president July 1. “We cannot close our minds to what is going on around us.” Though the college is already involved in the community with events like the Theatre-on-the- Green production in July, Jobe says more can be done. “I would like to see the college very much involved in the civic area,” said Jobe. “A college in this day cannot rest. It's a living thing. Not only faculty, we need to get students involved.” Jobe said she would like to in- vite community leaders to the campus todiscuss with them what the college can do for the area. “What needs do the actual communities have that we have expertise in?” asks Jobe rhetori- cally. “I want people to look back and say we need to have College Misericordia in the area. We need to have a marriage between the college and the community. We're small enough and flexible enough that we can react to what the community needs.” Jobe points to the revitalization of Pittsburgh with high-tech in- dustries after the strength of the steel mills faded as an example of what colleges and a community can accomplish when working together. Jobe will be Misericordia’s tenth president, and the first lay woman to lead the college. Appointed by Misericordia’s Board of Trustees in May, she was most recently president of Mater Dei College, a Catholic College in Ogdensburg. Misericordia’s former president, Dr. Pasquale Di Pasquale Jr., left May 31 after serving the college for three years. In the interim, Dr. Mary Glennon, RSM, Misericor- dia's Academic Dean, served as acting president. Jobe’s husband, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon B. Jobe, 49, is retired as a lieutenant colonel from the Army Corps of Engineers and is employed as a civil engineer for Atlantic ' Testing Laboratories, Canton, N.Y.

They really believe in that strength of caring and nurturing,” said Jobe. When Jobe attended the alumni reunion recently, she found gradu- ates who said that they are what they are today because of the education they received at Miseri- cordia. “What they were taught, they gave back to society. It wasn't this feeling that I've got my education and I'm going to make a million dollars.” Jobe herself is a member of the Rotary, the League of Women Vot- ers, and the Sisters of St. Joseph Consortium. “I've been on all kinds of cam- puses,” said Jobe. “The environ- ment here is probably the most sensitive and the most real.” Business Administration degree and has served as a part-time faculty member in management at Mater Dei College. They are the parents of two daughters, Amy Kathryn Smith, 24, and Meghan Eileen Smith, 15, and a son, Chris- tian Patrick Smith, 19. Jobe served as president of Mater Dei for more than three years. Her previous positions in- clude academic vice president of Marshall University; visiting vice president of academic affairs at Carnegie-Mellon University and acting academic vice president of Duquesne University. With Misericordia’s reputation for a power-house nursing pro- gram, Jobe's background is right in step with the college. She now holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education, Organization and Administration from Boston College, but she’s also earned a master's of science de- gree in nursing from Boston Uni- versity and has directed the nurs- ing programs at several colleges and universities.
