“8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, October 13, 1993 Council (continued from page 1) lacks teeth — one officer tried to enforce it and was suspended without pay for a week, then rein- i stated,” Andrews said. “I am adamantly against coun- . cil members receiving free tickets . to amphitheater shows,” he said. : “I have been led to believe that each council member received ~ several tickets. I won't accept any — it's a conflict of interest.” Lon Cooper “Straighten out the mess.” Nominated by the Republican r committee to replace William . Purcell due to illness, Cooper, his wife, Jude, and two children have lived in the borough for the past +10 years. He is a high school graduate, -attended electronics school and -served four years in the Marine Corps. Cooper, 53, is a customer service engineer with Olivetti Corporation. If elected, he wants to “straighten out the mess with the ‘roads, police and insurance” by: e Increasing police coverage of the borough, especially during concerts. e Scrutinizing the roads more ‘closely for maintenance needs and paving more through roads. This year several dead-end dirt roads have been paved, while gravel through roads have not, Cooper said. » Establishing a better rapport ‘with the people, so that they feel that they have a voice in the gov- ‘ernment. e Studying the borough's in- surance coverage, which he said is presently purchased through the wife of a council member. “I will not accept free tickets to amphitheater concerts,” Cooper said. “It makes it look like you're in someone's pocket if you do.” Gary Hoover (write-in candidate) “Vote for the good of the com- ~munity regardless of party affili- | ation.” Hoover is in the unique posi- . tion of having been a Democratic ' write-in candidate on the Repub- lican ballot in the May primary | election.

Hoover, 40, and his wife, Wendy, | have lived in the borough for the past 10 years.

KELLY GEORGE P. ANDREWS, JR. “I would like to see a change in the borough's government - give the lake back to the people,” he said. “I believe that we should work for the people and the bet- terment of the community, rather than voting strictly because of party affiliations. Hoover questions the borough's insurance coverage. “We may have the best plan available, but we should be able to prove this to the people by soliciting bids," he said. He added that changes may be in order for the police depart- ment. “The borough has a pretty good ‘police force, but the way it’s being run makes us a laughingstock both to civilians and police,” he said. Regarding the amphitheater, Hoover said, “That's a touchy situ- ation, but I'm sure that there is some way that we can reach a bor J mp No MAXIMUT snes a pGANSEY = EAKDOWN THER! $19.05 - e To receive your Free NFL Team Football: (Copies or facsimilies will not be accepted). 2) Attach the receipt (copies or facsimilies will Castrol Free NFL Team Football Offer - P.O.
