ing government to the product
and resident to consumers. “As
supervisor, I'd like the residents
to feel like they're the customers
and we're providing a service to
them. 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.

Evans hopes to recuperate
at home, but cost prohibitive
By GRACE R. 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
