DOVE Post Staff Confronted by a threat which they are concerned might place undue financial hardship on township residents, the Jackson Township supervisors decided at their regular December 6 meeting to study all aspects of the recy- cling law before implementing the mandatory curbside recycling program which it calls for. Because the 1990 Census says that the 2,765-inmate State Cor- rectional Institution at Dallas (SCID) has pushed the township's population over 5,000 and its population density over 300 per- sons per square mile, the supervi- sors received word from the De- partment of Environmental Re- sources that they must begin curbside recycling. “We'll study our responsibili- ties and limitations before mak- ing a decision,” said chairman Joseph Stager. “These programs cost money to start up. We don't want to place undue financial hardship on our residents.” Walter Glogowski commended road foreman Rich Manta and the road crew for their work on the dirt roads, especially during the past two weeks’ heavy rains. Stager, who chaired his last meeting, thanked his colleagues and township secretary Henry Zbiek for their assistance during his six years on the board of supervisors. He will be succeeded in Jauary by Carl Aston. In other business, the supervi- sors voted to: e Hire Benjamin Vincent Bigus as part-time patrolman, to work approximately 24 hours per week at a salary of $6 per hour, contin- gent upon his passing the man- datory physical and psychologi- cal examinations. Police chief Donald Jones noted that in addition to being certified in police work, Bigus also holds a brown belt in karate. » Adopt its 1994 budget with no millage increase. * Advertise for a part-time clean- ing person to do light housekeep- ing in the township building three hours per week at $5 per hour. The supervisors noted that although this person will clean the offices and the police station, the road crew will still be respon- sible for cleaning its own bath- room. e Appoint Wayne Hughes and Robert Mitkus to the recreation board. e Approve taking an income survey as required by Luzerne County for a grant to build the township recreation park behind the municipal building. e Send two people to a seminar sponsored by the Department of Community Affairs on computer- ized municipal systems, at a cost of $35 per person. Fire companies slate Santa visits © Eananoan, In addition to providing round-the-clock fire protection and am- bulance service to Back Mountain residents, area volunteer fire companies give their respective communities another gift: Christ- mas parties for the children.

Rudolph (continued from page 1) whereabouts. “What makes you think Rudolph has been kidnapped?” Holly asked. “He's always been so reliable. It's not like Rudolph just to take wofflike this,” Santa said. “And last hight, of all nights!” He dropped his bearded chin into his hand with a moan. Helly asked the last of her questions, then put her hand on Santa's shoulder. “I'm sorry, Santa,” she said. “There's nothing for me to go on. That doesn’t mean I'll give up - I'll never give up until we find Rudolph - but there's not much chance you'll have him back in time for tonight's ride.” Santa nodded sadly and patted Holly's hand. He understood she was doing all she could. Unfortunately, given.the lack of clues, that wasn't much. Santa moved slowly, as if he was carrying a heavy load on his back, as he stood up and went to the workshop. Rudolph or no Rudolph, he had a job to do, a job he hadn't neglected in almost 2,000 years. And Rudolph or no Rudolph, this was not the year he was going to start neglecting it.

Sister Mary Carmel McGarigle, who began the holiday tradition at the college, has also decided to give it up, although she, too, will continue to work at the college. The genius behind the massive spotlights, Walter “Rusty” An- dersen, made his final appear- ance as lighting coordinator. He plans to retire from his duties teaching English and speech in the spring. Although some families, such as Sue and George Schrlau and good friend Ellen Meeker, have attended the Madrigal Dinner for several years, other guests expe- rienced it for the first time. LuAnn and Joel Winemiller and their daughter, Nichole, came in from York to see their older daugh- ter, Renee, perform as one of “Ye hosts of the Feaste.” During intermission, Renee, wearing a red velvet high-waisted dress and matching cap and veil, came to her parents’ table for hugs all around and to introduce her friend, Jon Dameron. As “Ye hosts” left the Feaste in the final procession, Renee and Jon paused to bow to the guests at her family's table, her eyes meeting theirs. Warm smiles flooded everyone's faces. Reflecting on the massive amount of work needed to pro- duce nearly a quarter century of Madrigal Dinners, Sister Mary Sharon described a woman who had stepped out into the hall during the dinner one year. “I asked if she felt all right or needed help. She replied, ‘Thank you, no. I'm so filled with emotion that I just need a few quiet mo- ments by myself.’ That alone made all the hard work worthwhile.” PENNSTATE ® pT Perfect Stocking Stuffer 7 AL ONE BROTHERS ANZND COMPANY Benefits the Needy Available at: All Gallery of Sound Stores All Penn State Bookstores All Penn State Home Football Games $14.99 Stone Ground $19.99 Hours: Mon.
