Many of our men are part-timers and don't live here. They don't have the opportunity to get to know the people and understand them.” While all candidates support the borough's businesses as valu- able employers, Eaton believes an aggressive public relations cam- paign with the Luzerne County Tourist Promotion Agency would go a long way toward improving the borough's image and helping local businesses. “We have many good people doing many good things out here, but they don't get much public- ity,” she said. “All you hear about are the negative things. People must know we're here for more than walk-a-thons.” Spock and Hinton support the Harveys Lake Business Associa- tion to help revitalize the resi- dents’ civic pride. “It would take lots of coopera- tion and give-and-take between private parties and politicians to settle their minor grievances, so they could arrive at agreements beneficial to all parties involved,” Hinton said. “We must make a mix that works - the people are more than capable of it.” 20ST PHOTO/GRACE R.

MARTIN NOON “Sewer rates are a big expense for them,” he said. “I understand things like this because I'm a businessman myself.” The controversial artiphithea- ter also drew mixed opinions from the candidates, with West, Spock and Callahan suggesting that the Tijuana Bar be enclosed to help reduce noise. Eaton has many questions about the entire operation, espe- cially its security. “When Thom Greco addressed the council last month, he offered lots of information but no docu- mentation,” she said. “I would like to see a copy of his contract with his security service, to verify that he actually has one, that it's being run bya retired state trooper and to verify they have enough personnel on duty.

How much will it cost Harveys Lake for him to hold concerts here?” Hinton said the concert secu- rity force could use better man- agement. “Our borough police should first do their job of protect- ing the residents,” he said. “I'd like to see off-duty officers from neighboring communities hired for concert security. As I understand it, Mr. Greco hired borough offi- cers to do security work for con- certs. What would have happened if there had been an accident or a shooting - would we have had to call in officers from neighboring communities to handle it?” All candidates are concerned about the safety of boaters, many of whom bring their boats from elsewhere to the public boat launch. While Noon, whose family uses the lake, originated the recently enacted slow no-wake speed after dusk ordinance, West wants to ban high-speed and power boats from the lake. THE SERENE EENE EE DOUGH COMPANY "Your Hometown Restaurant’ Spock would like to see regular boat patrols by both police and Fish Commission officers during times of high use. “We have a boat but don't use it at the lake,” she said. “We take it elsewhere.” She also commended the Fish and Boat Commission's new wa- ter safety course, which she be- lieves will help safety on the lake. “The council members run in different directions.” Ruth Eaton Republican candidate “Enforcement is the key - the ~ laws are already on the books,” Eaton said. “I would like to have the Fish Commission do a study to determine the maximum num- ber of boats that can be safely on the water at one time, factoring in people's docks and marina slips. Then only a certain number of boats should be allowed to enter the water at one time. Most of the residents are very safety con- scious. Many say they don't use their boats on weekends because the lake is so crowded.” Mother's Day Special Lasagne $ Our Homemade Lasagne Served 4. with your choice of Garden Fresh Salad or our Homemade Soup, Bread & Butter Free Dessert for Mom on Mother's Day Lunch Small Pizza & WHY PAY RETAIL!
