Frank and Carol Bevevino are long-time members of the Dallas and Wyoming Valley communi- ‘ties. Carol was raised on Lake “Street in Dallas and Frank made ‘his home here nearly 30 years .ago.

We’ d love to see our children and ‘our friends’ children stay here. ‘We want to make it a better place to live.” © Frank Bevevino agrees. As a ‘businessman, he sees growth and ‘quality of life as important assets for family life, and supports the improvement of the area through the Luzerne County Foundation. ~ “My experience is that many ‘people who were born and raised here were unappreciative of what ey had in this community,” he said. “They didn’t give much back. We need to change that. It’s a great place to live and bring up your family.” Bevevino, former CEO of US Foodservice and a native of War- ren, PA came to this area in 1969.

Mr. Witmer noted that stable Federal funds for LIHEAP for this year’s program and changes made by the Department restricting eligiblity in prior years have per- mitted a lengthening of this year’s program. Income eligibility re- mains at 110 percent of the Fed- eral Poverty Income Guidelines. This year the program opened with both the cash component and the ' crisis component on Nov. 17; the cash component closes Dec. 20 and the crisis component closes March 16. “Lastyear some families missed out on the program because they waited too long and consequently did not get their applications filed timely. In most cases, documen- tation of income for the previous 30 days is sufficient to establish eligibility. Therefore, I urge fami- lies who receive mail-in applica- tions toreturn their form promptly to the county assistance office, Mr. Witmer said. “If a family did not apply for the LIHEAP Program last year, applications are avail- able at this office for this year’s program.” For the most part, the LIHEAP cash component makes direct payments to the vendors supply- ing fuel to eligible households. The LIHEAP crisis component pro- vides help for households experi- encing weather-related emergen- cies, such as a broken furnace or leaking pipes, or energy supply shortages, or terminated aulity service. Energy conservation ser- vices, such as the repair of broken windows are also available through this component. LIHEAP households with weather-related emergencies, such as broken fur- naces, or those in need of energy conservation services may be eli- gible to receive more extensive types of services. These services will be provided through the De- partment of Public Welfare/De- partment of Community and Eco- nomic Development Crisis Iriter- face Project. Applicants must ap- ply for these services through their County Assistance Offices or cri- sis contractor. ( Homeowners and renterss; Jin- cluding those whose rent includes heat, roomers and subsidized housing tenants may be eligible, and it does not matter what type of fuel is used for heat. No lien is placed on the home, and persons need not be receiving public as- sistance to receive LIHEAP Pro- gram grants. LIHEAP grants are based.on the family’s income, the primary type of fuel used for heating, and the household's location. | A family’s maximum income may not exceed the following lim- its to qualify for LIHEAP: one- person household, $8,679; two- persons, $11,671; three persons, $14,663; four persons, $17,655; five persons, $20,647; six per- sons, $23,639. For larger houseg- holds, add $2,992 for each addi- tional person. Help for families with a neath} emergency is available 24 hours'a day by contacting Contact for Cri- sis Assistance at 826-0510. . « DANIEL A.
