The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 22, 2001 3 Car show (continued from page 1) have owned their 1948 | Packard for 22 years. They also | have a 1964 Chrysler and a 1986 Jaguar XJ6. “We love the cars,” said Charles Bartlett, “es- pecially the Packard. My uncle had one when I was a teenager, and I was hooked.” “The old cars are a lot of work, but a labor of love,” said Alice Bartlett. . “The Packard doesn’t have air-conditioning, the seats are upholstered in a wool fabric, and it weighs 6,200 pounds, so | it’s not very easy to push. But [@ we enjoy hunting for parts, and recently drove 110 miles just to find a hubcap. We also enjoy the camaraderie among the an- tique auto club members, and have attended the worldwide car show in Hershey for 28 years.” a ———SET Charles and Alice Bartlett from Dallas pose with their restored 1948 Packard Custom which they have owned for 22 years. Home rule (continued from page 1) Between the questionable hir- ing practices for county jobs, the county commissioners taking each other to court and the un- used high-priced security system which is not in operation be- cause an agreement cannot be made on who should operate it, Tetschner had read enough to know something needed to change in Luzerne County. At the same time she was reading about the Luzerne Coun- ty Public Forum, and its quest to put a Home Rule Study Commis- sion on the November ballot. As the daughter of German immi- grants, Tetschner feels very proud and lucky to be an Ameri- can. She knew getting involved would not only be a way to show her pride, but it was her duty. POST PHOTOS/SANDY PEOPLES Bob Marr from Dallas is proud of his 1967 Chevelle Malibu. “My wife bought it for me for my birthday. It's been repainted with the original color, and it still has its original parts and roof.” Ten year old Dominic Molino from Dallas thought the Malibu was cool. “He wants to touch it and get in it,” said his mother, Janine. The 1958 Jaguar XKI150 owned by Victor Bogetti from Hunlock Creek was admired by Back Mountain teens Jason Hu- menanski and Ed Little. “I like the older cars,” said Humenans- ki. “I'd like to get in and drive this one,” said Little. Antique car owners have many stories to tell as to why they bought a certain year or make of car. Tom Perkins of Hunlock Creek has owned his 1940 Ford for five years. “I had one just like it in the tenth grade. It was my first car, and it was even the same color blue.” The cars were judged in 53 the best of the best in the show. different classes. At the end of the day, trophies were awarded for first, second and third place. The real winners of the day were those who attended the Scott Wentzel, (left) chairman of the show, and committee member Bob Turak, hold the trophies and plaques that will be awarded to “It (Home Rule) will enable the voters to have more involvement in their government and the de- cisions it makes,” said Tetschn- er, Home Rule is a system which enables the people to frame and adopt a charter for their own government. A home rule charter would allow Luzerne County to replace its three current county commissioners with elected offi- cials and a county manager, if voters approved. The estimated $40,000 to $45,000 study the Luzerne County Public Forum is propos- ing will look at what type of gov- ernment structure would work best for Luzerne County. The City of Scranton is currently in charter. One key element Tetschner thinks voters should take special note of with Home Rule is the changes which could be made in the present form of government in Luzerne County. Home Rule show, especially the young peo- ple who got to see so many years of automotive history at one time and in one place. The Ireasure Chest Gr i!

JONES Ruth Tetschner is giving her former students a civics lesson by campaigning to get a referen- dum for a government study commission on the November ballot. could also change the role citi- zens’ play in government. “If the voters approve the Home Rule Study, they are ap- proving a process that takes two years and requires a commission of 11 commissioners to do the study,” she said. Tetschner will be running for one of the 11 seats if the study is approved. Tetschner devoted 27 years to educating children. She was a teacher for seven years and an elementary school principal for 20 years in the Dallas School District. Tetschner feels her ad- ministrative skills and prior ex- perience in working on studies regarding the needs of children will make her an asset to the commission. “I'm retired and I will put in the time it takes to do it. I plan for this to be my job,” said Tetschner. Since her retirement, she has taken on many roles within the community. She is a member of the Back Mountain memorial Li- brary Board, supervisor of the li- brary’s bookshop and a Dallas Rotarian. She is also a mother and grandmother, and that is where the heart of her campaign lies. “I want them to stay in the val- ley,” Tetschner said about her children and grandchildren. She said she may be selfish in wanti- ng her family to stay in the area, but her family is her world. Reforming Luzerne County pol- itics isn't just about dollars saved or ousting lifetime politi- cians for Tetschner. For her, it's about making the area a place where today’s children will want to stay to raise their families and have the opportunities to do so. “We want this to come from the grass roots,” said Tetschner, who has no political experience. “I really don’t think we want pro- fessional politicians doing this. This is a chance for the citizens to get involved with county gov- ernment.” Petitions asking voters if they want the county to do a Home Rule study and the petitions of people interested in being com- missioners if the study takes place are due August 28. Tetschner can be reached at 675-4652 for more information.
