Shavertown, PA 675-1191 Girl Scouts (continued from page 8) “Scouting changes with the times, contemporary issues and the girls’ interests,” LouAnn said. She has worked on the day camp staff, and been the day camp business manager, as well as taking her girls camping and help- ing to staff Girl Scout shows at area malls. Sandra Dobrowolski, leader of Senior Troop 705, went into scout- ing nine years ago when her three daughters were Scouts. “They needed a Cadette leader atHarveys Lake,” she said. “I found a woman from Lehman who also had a few interested girls and we combined forces. At one time we had 20 girls in the troop.” Her troop is planning a trip out west this summer to visit Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the California redwoods and Oregon. They have earned all of the money them- selves. Sandy has helped train the Cadettes and Seniors who serve as day camp counselors, worked at mall shows, served as Neigh- borhood 24's director - “anywhere I can help out.” “Scouting lets the girls see that the world isn’t just them,” she said. “They learn they're here to help others and to get along to- gether, even with people they may not especially like. If they want something they have to work for it.” Although this year will proba- bly be her last year as a troop leader, Sandy plans to continue working in scouting, possibly as neighborhood director or in vari- Girl Scout facts, near and far This is Girl Scout Week, the 83rd anniversary of the founding of the nations’s first Girl Scout troop by founder Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia. Many Back Mountain troops have planned special activities celebrating their participation in the world’s largest voluntary or- ganization for girls, 3.5 million strong, which focuses on meeting the special needs of girls and young women from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and cul- tural backgrounds. ¢ During the past 83 years, Girl Scouting has added age and inter- est groups to meet the needs of young women ages five through 18: Daisy troops are in kindergar- ten, Brownies are in first through third grades, Junior Girl Scouts are in fourth through sixth grades, Cadettes are in seventh through ninth grades and Senior Girl Scouts are in grades 10 through » The Back Mountain is home to 47 troops, serving 548 girls and staffed by 262 adult volunteers. e [t is part of the Penn's Woods Girl Scout Council, formed in 1963 from eight smaller Northeastern Pennsylvania councils and sev- eral individual troops of girls. Penn's Woods serves 6,000 girls and young women in Luzerne, Schuylkill and Columbia and parts of Carbon, Northumberland and Wyoming counties. e Since 1984, at least a dozen young women from the Back Mountain have earned the Girl Scouts’ highest award, the Gold Award, similar to the Boy Scouts’ rank of Eagle Scout. e Asubstantial number of young women in the armed forces’ serv- ice academies are former Gold Award scouts. * Area troops have worked on two special projects this year, making quilts for homeless people and gathering items for “Peace Packs,” which are sent to refugee children around the world. e The Girl Scouts need adult volunteers to help lead troops and work on projects. Volunteers don’t have to be a former Scout or have a degree in elementary education - the only necessary qualification is to love working with girls. Meetings are flexible and can be scheduled around work and the girls’ other activities. Interested volunteers may call the Penn's Woods Girl Scout Council at 829-2631. Suit (continued from page 1) been paid a total of $29,013 in 1993 and 1994, according to borough records. Melnick said Samson has not yet decided whether to appeal the court's decision. Samson earned $13,381 in 1992, based on a percentage of permit fees collected, according to borough records. Codes enforcement officer Paul Grimes, a Sweet Valley resident, was appointed the day after Samson’s dismissal. Grimes earned $5,991 in wages and ex- penses in 1994, according to borough records. In the suit, Samson alleged his termination was motivated by his actions as zoning officer against councilman Joseph Miscavage and former councilman William Wilson, who work as contractors. Samson issued a stop work order in September, 1992, against Wilson for not obtaining building permits required by the borough code before beginning work reno- vating the Villa Roma restaurant. Samson also sent Miscavage a certified letter threatening to is- sue a stop work order unless Miscavage obtained building per- mits and paid fees required by the borough code for renovations he 675-4949 ous activities. “I get a bit tearful when I think this is my last year,” she said. “Scouting has many rewards for adults. You see the girls grow up before your eyes and learn the many things they can do on their own.” Flt EZ 222 Grotto’ Gr Pizza | Pins 1 i Y 134 a : New Delivery Hours Sun.-Thurs. to 10:30 Fri. & Sat. to 11:30 e New Lunch Menu Starting at $9.95 For 639-FAST Featuring 30 Minute Lunch Delivery, call 639-3278 15 VN TAYE DAES DYN (4 and Saturdays.

Samson also said Miscavage obtained a building permit for a $95,000 addition to his home April 30, 1991, then asked Samson to issue a second permit for a $45,000 addition May 17, 1991, to replace the first one. Miscavage refused to give Samson documen- tation justifying the reduced build- ing cost, the suit alleged. Samson subsequently sent both permits to the Luzerne County Tax Assessment Depart- ment. “That wasn't an addition,” Miscavage said. “That's my house. Samson's allegations aren't true.” Municipalities aren't required by state law to advertise job open- ings, according to Tim Knapp, legal cousel for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers’ Associa- tion (PNPA). Municipal employees can be hired and fired at will, which should have been done publicly, he added. “Samson's firing and Grimes's hiring should have been done in an open meeting as part of the business agenda,” Knapp said. “The council should have dis- cussed it first in executive session as a personnel issue, then voted on it in a public meeting.” Air Conditioners PARKER FUEL CO.
