From left, Ray ’ Iwanowski, Doug Ide, Purcell, Chief Kocher and Dave Sutton. Supervisors honor retired cop LEHMAN - William Purcell of Harveys Lake was presented a plaque for his 14 years of service as a Lehman Township police of- ficer Monday night. Purcell, who is now retired, worked as a full time officer until 1993. After a serious illness he came back to the force working part time. “It’s been a real pleasure. The supervisors have always been co- operative,” said Purcell after re- ceiving the plaque from the Board of Supervisors. “I have enjoyed working here. All good things must come to an end.” Supervisor Dave Sutton de- scribes Purcell as the kind of guy you would want to be pulled over by. “I wish he was staying. Bill is the best. Top notch. Very depend- able,” he said. Barbara Simms, planning com- mission administrator, has known Purcell ‘for many years and will miss seeing him around the town- ship. “He is a nice'-man and such a gentleman. An excellent officer who is very calm. A good guy to have on the force. Absolutely a delight,” said Simms. Purcell was an officer at Harveys Lake prior working in Lehman. In other business, the board said they continue to work on getting township roads named for the county 911 system. The gru- eling task was held up by unread- able aerial maps provided by the county, said Doug Ide, supervi- sor. They were sent back and re- placed. Ide said he ordered 40 new street signs and that at least six of them were for newly named private roads. - Kylie Shafferkoetter C.W.R.I. to meet at Legion February 18 Wyoming Valley C.W.R.T. will meet on Thurs., Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. in the American Legion, Route 415, Dallas.
