a The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 27,2000 3 Dolloff é (continued from page 1) bad guy” for every complaint. “She’s created her own problem with her sump pump,” he said, referring to Moretti. After starting to explain a his- tory of incidents which occurred during the years while building his home, Dolloff was cut off by Charles McCormick, solicitor to the council, who said this was a @ ncighbor dispute. “Finish your property,” he told Dolloff. “You're not going to get another extension after what council has been through. We'll be in Magistrate's court.” McCormick concluded with “If it’s not finished, you'll get a per diem fine.” Zoning Officer Milton Lutsey reported on the September Zon- @ Board meeting when Dolloff got an extension until October 3 to complete his property. The origi- nal deadline of August 3 passed with considerable progress noted, although the construction was not complete and no fines were levied. “He (Dolloff) has been notified,” Lutsey said. Property inspection will continue in the meantime. Peter Dombroski and a per- sonal consultant asked council w for an update on the water drain- age problem running into the homes on ‘= May : Avenue. Dombroski felt that a logger had clear cut the land above his’ mother’s property, resulting in a change in the course of drainage and subsequent water damage into homes. “This is not a normal year,” Andrews noted. “We've just had the third highest rainfall this ) summer.” Although saying he was concerned about their problem, he added “This doesn’t involve any borough property as the cause ‘and we can’t come on to private property.” - Bob Prescott brought a prob- lem with a neighbor’s dogs to the council's attention. “Is it legal to shoot off a weapon in Harveys Lake Borough?” he @:oked: He then described a situa- tion where he says his neighbor sometimes has up to 11 bull mas- tiffs weighing about 200 pounds each on their property. He said the reason for his question was that “Dogs are coming up to my house. I'm being threatened on my own property.” He then re- lated a disputed incident between his wife and police officers Baker @®:-d Karlovich involving a video- taped dog attack involving the neighbor's dogs in which the Prescott’s tried to intervene. Mayor Boice said he was unaware of the situation but would inves- tigate immediately to get input from the accused officers before drawirig any conclusions. Betty Jane West asked if it was still the policy that complaints against police officers had tobe in @riting. This was affirmed by ‘Mayor Boice. In addition, she supported Mrs. Moretti's request for an ordinance regarding open burning. “Asthmatics like my daughter can’t go out when there is burning,” she said. West sug- gested restricting burning to one .day a week, emphasizing that itis a health hazard as well as a fire gd RELIGIOUS SERVICES BACK MOUNTAIN HARVEST ASSEMBLY - 340 Carverton Rd., ‘Trucksville. 696-1128.

POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK Burning continued in front of the Charles Dolloff house Monday. In other business, Councilman Francis Kopko reported that two persons from the 911 Emergency Medical Services Center are sur- veying the lake to identify resi- dential locations to help dispatch- ers and responders in answering calls. Kopko also announced an agreement with Joseph Olenik for a vehicle turnaround road. The borough will lease the land for two years at the cost of $2,000 per year after which Olenik will do- nate his Trolley Hill property to the Borough. : Hiring favoritism charged HARVEYS LAKE - Borough hiring practices came into ques- tion at the end of the September council meeting. Shortly after accepting a letter of resignation from Jason Wilson, a laborer in the road department, Councilman Ed Kelly recommended the hiring of George Hogan in his place. He said Hogan was currently an em- ployee of the Harveys Lake Mu- nicipal Authority and that this would be a lateral move. “I don’t even know if he has his application in,” Kelly said, as he stressed that the position needed to be filled immediately. Council- man Francis Kopko objected, call- ing Hogan's hiring “nepotism.” He cited Mayor Boice as a.cousin to George Hogan, and Councilman Dennis Hogan, his brother along with family connections to the Democratic Party. When the vote was taken, Kopko was the only dissenter with Hogan abstaining. Carole Samson, Borough Sec- retary, said there is no policy in place which requires in-house advertising of position openings. She said jobs are usually filled by placing ads in the newspaper and unsolicited applications for fu- LLL 727 Sunday, October 1 — ture employment are kept on file for six months. In her experience, there have not been any problems « due to the close working proxim- ity between the borough and the municipal authority, cross-train- ing and the small number of em- Asked if Councilman ployees. Dennis Hogan would have any input into his brother's evalua- tion, Samson said “Road Supervi- sor Charles Musial is responsible for the evaluation of work perfor- mance.” Boice, in his role as manager of the municipal authority, said a personnel move on such short notice was possible because his operation is working well with no problems expected in the near future. Normally, his operation runs with three employees, but this opening may not be filled until the new year. “We need a ‘minimum of two people to run with,” he said, counting himself as a backup if necessary. When the time comes to fill the vacant HLMA position, Boice said they will advertise in the newspa- per. by Elaine Slabinski 0-5 Craft Vendors & Items remaining from 54th Annual Auction plus many newly donated items of Antiques, New and Used goods PLUS An original Sue Hand Painting made especially for this event Bring Your Own Chair Craft Show Auction 10:00-5:00 12:30-5:00 DALLAS Huntsville Road Brothers (continued from page 1) for me,” he said. He visited a hos- pital and'was inspired to change his career. He attended College Misericordia and graduated in 1986 with a BS in Occupational Therapy. Joseph Murray got interested in physical therapy in high school, during a career fair his junior year. In his third year at college (University of Pittsburgh), he de- cided to major in the subject, and graduated with a BS in Exercise Science. He then went on to take a BS in Physical Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh as well. After that, he worked for 13 years with two physicians who special- ized in sports medicine at the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. While he was work- ing, he attended the University of Pittsburgh again, where in 1992 he earned his MS degree in Physi- cal Therapy, with a specialization in orthopedics. ; Joseph recently moved back from Pittsburgh to go into prac- tice with John. One of the reasons it was preferable for him to come to Dallas was that the health care networks in Pittsburgh were closed to independent practitio- ners, but here they were still open, and the brothers feel they have been fortunate to get acceptance to an agency. Still, both admit they've had good experiences working with larger facilities. The main com- plaint was red tape. Joseph said, “To get a back brace, for example, you'd have to put in the request and fill out the forms and send six faxes and wait and wait, and weeks later the patient still wouldn't have it.” John agreed. “We don't have to go through layers of management to make a decision,” he said. And one of the nicest aspects of being independent is that “patients can expect more individual, personal care. Often with larger organiza- tions you lose the personal touch,” John said. Being independent does have its drawbacks, too, although there are not many of them. “You don't have a steady paycheck,” John said, and noted that it was harder to get approval from insurance providers when you weren't affili- ated with a big organization. There's nobody to do the paper- work, either, as there is in a major medical corporation. John’s wife takes care of some of the office business for now, and eventually they will hire someone perma- nently. The State Correctional Insti- tution at Dallas, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, will conduct a con- trolled, antlerless deer hunt on the institution property on De- cember 9 and 11. The purpose of the hunt is to reduce the growing whitetail deer popula- tion on the grounds of the insti- tution. This controlled hunt will be open to the general public. The December 9, hunt will be ayouth hunt (licensed hunters ages 12- 16, accompanied by a parent or guardian). The December 11, hunt will be open to licensed adult hunters. A public drawing will be held Deer hunt at SCID open to public to determine the successful ap- plicants. The December 9, hunt will be limited to 50 youths and their parent or guardian. The December 11 hunt will be for 50 adult hunters. ~ Allapplicants must possess a current Pennsylvania hunting license and a valid Luzerne County Antlerless License. Le- gal hunting implements will be shotguns, using slugs of sabots, or any style muzzleloader. The successful applicants will be assigned toa designated area. Any questions about this hunt can be directed to the Northeast Regional Office of the Pennsyl- vania Game Commission, Dal- las, 675-1143. Physical therapists such as the Murrays help people recover from various kinds of injuries, such as those suffered at work or while playing sports; they also help people regain physical functions after strokes or operations. The goal of physical therapy is to de- crease pain and increase func- tion. Some of the methods they use include moist heat, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound, but their main method is hands-on treatment. Individuals are given exercises to do at home, so their therapy continues between ses- sions. “We like to emphasize home exercise based on the degree of the problem, and to educate the patient,” Joseph Murray said. The important thing to the Murray brothers is that they en- joy what they do, and think they will be very happy practicing in Dallas. “You have a lot of interac- tion with a lot of different people,” Joseph said. “You educate them, and they educate you.” And, John said, “When some- one comes in injured and leaves healthy, and you see that pro- gression, it’s very satisfying.” GEM Therapeutics accepts most major insurance.
