We have to sell ourselves to them and prove ourselves to them so they have confidence in us.” Wilkes has also taken over the post of roadmaster, which is his full-time job. With all this added responsibility, Wilkes admits there's no such thing as an 8-to- 5 day, much less a vacation day. “You never know when something's going to come up,” he says, and he’s prepared to be avail- able. : Wilkes' long-time friend and schoolmate Jim Hutchins has now taken his place as possibly the youngest elected official in Jack- son Township history, according to records available to secretary Zbiek. Hutchins, who was elected this November to the two-year term of township auditor, isa 1991 gradu- ate of Lake-Lehman High School and a senior accounting major at Wilkes University, which he now attends part time. Hutchins says he wanted the auditor position not only to get involved in the community, but also to gain experience toward his goal of becoming an accountant. “It ‘helps to have experience in governmental accounting if you want to work for an accounting firm,” he said. . While working his way through college, Hutchins has gained ex- perience in other jobs as well. He has been the assistant junior high track coach at Lake-Lehman for the past four seasons. He works part time as night auditor for the Days Inn in Wilkes-Barre, and serves as corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves in Wyo- ming. But his ambitious and enter- prising nature is probably best manifested in his landscaping business, Hutchins Lawn Care, which has has been running for about three years. “My grandfa- ther got me started when I was 12 years old, helping with his cus- tomers. I began by just cutting lawns, and then expanded to maintaining shrubbery, trees, and then landscaping.” Hutchins joins township audi- tors Danielle Kmetz of Chase Road, and Don Werkheiser of Salansky Road. At the meeting, the following were re-appointed: Walter Glogowski, supervisors’ chair- man; Carl Aston, vice chairman; Henry Zbiek, secretary/treasurer; John Krupa, zoning officer and building inspector. Blythe Evans was re-appointed as solicitor at a rate of $50 per meeting plus fees, and Wilkes was appointed roadmaster at arate of $10.25 per hour. In his absence, Richard Manta, former road foreman, will be in charge at the rate of $10 per hour.

DOVE Post Staff JACKSON TOWNSHIP - The fund drive to help dairy farmer Shelly Evans, recovering from can- cer surgery at the Buffalo General Hospital and has no health insur- ance, has collected about $1,900. The December 22 surgery re- moved most of the malignant tu- mor, diagnosed as chondrosar- coma, growing on his upper right leg and hip, but a small piece about the size of a pinkie finger- nail is still left on his pelvis, ac- cording to his sister, Dale Evans Fedak. Evans is wearing a partial body cast on his hips and right leg and has a metal plate in his pel- vis. “The tumor was very large and grew in three layers - a tumor within a tumor within a tumor,” she said. “The doctors said he'll need radiation treatments to save his leg.” There are only three known cases of chondrosarcoma in the country, and Evan's case is even more rare, she added. Evans underwent further sur- gery January 9 to remove a hematoma from an incision which had been made to perform: the original biopsy and didn't com= pletely heal. xual He can get in and out of bed using a trapeze bar, but can’t sit in a chair yet. i Evans may be allowed to come home until he has healed enough to have the radiation treatments; but the cost is prohibitive. Ambulance transportation, to and from Buffalo costs $1,100 per trip, which will wipe the fund out immediately, Fedak said. The only ambulance which will make the trip is operated by the Wilkes- Barre General Hospital. Private services won't go out of state. ., “Although Shelly could come home in a private mini-van, we wouldn't be comfortable traveling without an EMT in case he needs help,” she said. fm Cards and well-wishes may be sent to Shelly Evans at the Buf- falo General Hospital, Room 1615-, D, 100 High Street, Buffalo, NY 14203. i Donations to help pay for his, medical care may be sent to the VAlley View Union Chapelm, Shelly Evans Cancer fund, c/o church treasurer Robert Law, 154 Jackson Street, Dallas PA 18612: Friends plan ‘salute’ to new commissioner Red Jones Luzerne County Commissioner, Joseph “Red” Jones of Lehman Twp. will be the guest of honor at a cocktail reception and dance on Friday,Jan. 19, at thelrem Temple Country Club in Dallas.
