Unmarked cruiser on the voad By ANN POEPPERLING : ‘Post Correspondent DALLAS - Dallas Borough Council announced at its regular November 21 meeting that a new 1995 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser was put on the road Monday. The unmarked cruiser cost $17,425 and replaces the 1990 Caprice cruiser, which was sold for $1,700, according to Dallas Borough po- lice chief Jack Fowler. Fowler will meet with other police chiefs from around the state and with the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on December 7 to. discuss the everyday prob- lems and concerns of police chiefs. He was invited to attend because he serves on the executive board of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Po- lice Association and is a past president of the Luzerne County Chiefs of Police. According to the road report, resurfacing is complete on Norton Ave. after PG&W tore it up to install new lines. The council accepted $3,500 from PG&W toward the resurfacing project. The borough also announced the road crew is still collecting bagged leaves. Because of the early snow, the leaf vacuum is not usable at the present. In other matters, council also passed a resolution accepting Wendy's Restaurant's site plans and stormwater management program. Budget (continued from page 1) figures yet, but know we'll have that difference whittled down to zero by the time we pass the final budget,” said chairman Ed Kelly. For example, awarding the trash collection bid to a cheaper hauler will show “a significant difference” in the budget's final figures, he added. The council unanimously awarded a trash hauling bid to J. P. Mascaro and Sons for $84,800 in 1996, $85,838 in 1997 and $86,285 in 1988. The council had a Pa ~~ ry 8 another crossing guard at the Lake-Noxen school, to work three hours per day for a total of $55 per week, contingent on the borough and the district approving a lim- ited liability agreement. The Lake- Lehman school district picks up half the tab for crossing guards. Codes enforcement officer Paul Grimes noted 1995 contractors’ permits expire December 31 and must be renewed for next year, They are available for $100 at the borough office. Driver continued from page 1) Drury, patrolman Ronald Chupas, 54, was hit by the mini-van oper- ated by Vinnacombe, 41, of Dal- las. Chupas and Dallas Township patrolman Alan Pugh were trying to dispatch an injured deer lying alongside the road with his serv- ice revolver. ‘The accident scene is located on Huntsville Road between Res- ervoir Road and Joseph Street, pejice said. £3 The van was traveling west on Huntsville Road and struck Ch- upas with its right side mirror. . Chupas was spun around and thrown! seven feet from the point of impact, landing on his left side, Drury said. { “The, driver didn't even slow “down,” he said. “The witnesses didn’tsee any brake lights at all.” Chupas was taken by the Dal- las Ambulance to the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, where he was admitted for observation overnight and to check for internal bleed- ing. “He has injuries to his lower back and also hit his head on the van and on the ground,” Drury said. “He's still hurting too much to walk, but doesn't have any broken bones.” Before Vinnacombe turned himself in, Back Mountain police were busy tracing more than 150 such mini-vans registered in the area to find a match, Drury said. “We're doing everything we can,” he said. Drury and Pugh are being as- sisted in the investigation by Kingston Township officer Wade Curtis.
