The property has changed hands several times since then. It is currently owned by Jerry Kane, who also owns Carverton Auto Sales. “I'm not sure exactly what type of business will be in there,” Kane said. “We are only demol- ishing the front, wooden part where a parking lot will go. The cinder block structure will be a multi-purpose building. ; “I bought the building about eight months ago and applied for a grant from Luzerne County Community Development. I've had some work done to fix up the masonry part in the back,” Kane said. “These demolition grants have been available for years. They are essentially used to get rid of ‘eye- sores’ and put places back on the tax rolls for both the municipality and for the county,” said Pete Dougherty, project supervisor for Community Development. “Itis a five-year, forgivable lien on the property. The lien is reduced by 20 percent of the remainder for each of the five years that he retains ownership of the prop- erty,” Dougherty said. “Although it's a long process subject to many stipulations, any- one who qualifies can get this type of grant. The grant is for the exact amount of the bid and money is paid from Community Develop- ment to the contractors through the municipality. It doesn’t pay for any professional fees for engi- neers, inspectors, or lawyers,” he explained. He noted that the build- ing has to be inspected for asbes- tos and the grant would include money for proper removal of all asbestos found but not for the inspection itself. “A few years ago, maybe 1994, we handled something like this to demolish two burned out build- ings in the Roushey plot section. It’s basically the same kind of thing,” said Glenn Howell, Dallas Township Secretary. “We have about a half a dozen bids to open and review at our February 15 meeting. handles the bidding process and the moneys from the grant. Who- ever gets the bid has to follow all of the requirements. The building materials must be hauled off to a certified landfill,” Mr. Howell added. “Were not getting any money from it the way it is right now,” said Wagner. “So it's good to use these grant moneys that are avail- able to get places like this back on the tax rolls.” Torchere Floor Lamp LIST $250.00 Fk Electrical Supply / Lighting / Telecom / Automation ELECTRIC The municipality fy mw Friedman lL: Mon., Tues, Wed., Fri, 8 to 6 - Thu. 8 to 8:30 - Sat. 8 to 4:30 - $un.(2/20) 11 to 4 POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK The 27-member Dallas Middle School Jazz Band performed for the Back Mountain Business and Professional Association last week.

He said I had a rare condition that causes severe blood clotting—popliteal entrapment—which could have led to the amputation of both my legs. Tests at the hospital confirmed it. A team of specialists operated on both my legs and gave me radiology treatments to reduce the blood clots. People think scoring goals in soccer is something. But, in my opinion, the doctors
