No preference, we mitted specifically at this point. bought the land as an invest- ment and with or without Wal- Mart he feels it will eventually pay off. Wal-Mart, which operates 1,693 stores and 965 super- centers in the United States and serves over 100 million cus- tomers a week, is not yet drawn to the Back Mountain. There is nothing in the works in this area said Keith Morris, community af- fairs manager, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., although the plot of land would seem ideal. “A typical Wal-Mart requires about 10 to 15 acres and a typi- cal supercenter requires about 20-25 acres for the building, parking, landscaping, etc.,” said Morris. “Wal-Mart both buys and leas- es land for the stores we build, depending on what is able to be negotiated with respective prop- look for the best deal possible so we can pass the savings on to our customers,” Morris said. For Phyllis Clemow and Pattie Wardell, Wal-Mart can’t get here fast enough. Wardell said she hates driving to Wilkes-Barre to go to Wal-Mart. Clemow likes the idea of a supercenter with every- thing from groceries to oil changes to clothing in one loca- tion close to home. For now at least, these ladies will have to continue to drive to Wilkes-Barre or Tunkhannock to get their share of Kathie Lee clothing and W-Pop. Who knows what the future will bring, maybe in a few years, the parcel of land on Route 415 will house a Wal-Mart Super- center, Taco Bell and a Chucky Cheese, but for now, it's all just rumor. Kocis (continued from page 1) ly scheduled for July 23, but a continuance was granted and the hearing is now set for Au- gust 3 at 9:30 a.m. with District Justice Tupper. One reason for the continu- ance, said Jolley, is that the lead officer for the case, Fred Rosen- crans, is on vacation this week. Rosencrans’s vacation has been scheduled for a few months, he said. Another reason is the case was originally assigned to Assistant District Attorney Michelle Ol- shefski, but Olshefski is leaving the District Attorney's office for a position at King's College. The case has been reassigned to As- sistant District Attorney Jeff Tokach. : Kocis. has no prior criminal record that Tokach knows of, he said, “There’s still a lot of work to be done before the prelimi- nary hearing.” A lot of the work is going through the massive amount of evidence which was taken from Kocis’s 60 Midland Drive home. Officers are still going through everything with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said Jolley. The FBI was called in to con- sult on the case.

I will also be meeting with the school districts,” she said. “I'm not surprised that so few people came to this meeting because I have been meeting with so many of them separately.” Other changes reflected in the new conceptual plan show the addition of a lacrosse field and an ice hockey rink. “Skate-board- ing and in-line skating areas have yet to be placed,” said Sut- ton. “We'd really like to put those in because they need a place to go.” There was some discussion of the possibility of forming a club for skateboarders who would help set up and maintain such an area. It was also agreed that mem- bers of the organization would get in touch with officials at the Dallas Correctional Institution about utilizing their labor force for help with continued mainte- nance at the sports complex. The Back Mountain Sports and Recreation organization plans to complete the land purchase by the end of August. “There were a few requirements that the state needed before they would release their money,” said Sutton. “Everything is taken care of and we're just waiting for the paper- work to go through now.” Veri7zoNvircless BLOOMSBURG PENNSEL PAGERS 1 East Main Street (570) 389-9830 DANVILLE = VALLEY COMPUTER 295 Mill Lane (570) 271-2878 or (888) 589-6714 EBENSBURG EBENSBURG MUSIC MART 212 W High Street (814) 472-9570 BUSINESS SALES CUSTOMERS CALL 1-888-848-3360 FOR AN APPOINTMENT Limited to certain calling plans.
