2 The Dallas Post NEWS Sunday, November 14, 2004 LIBRARY (continued from page 1) The murals include a book- case full of colorful literary classics, vases of flowers and vines, doves with banners, scrolls of famous quotations, even one that makes the stan- dard school wall clock look good. In addition, Greg Suhocki, a former student, covered four new tables with a montage of photos of Gate of Heaven stu- dents through the years. Another new feature in the library is the Accelerated Reading program. The pro- gram provides a listing of hun- dreds of books ranked by read- ing level and difficulty. Students take a computerized test upon completion and teachers can judge each stu- dent’s reading progress. Tigue took advantage of the rededication ceremony to present a plague to an out- standing volunteer. Leah Amico, Trucksville, whose three children attended GOH, led the efforts to redo the library. “For service to others freely given, I extend my heartfelt thanks to her,” Tigue said. “She even painted the inside of the closet so it would look nice.” The project was funded through the Carey Trust, the GOH Gift Book Program, and from over $1,700 raised through the principals inclu- sion in the Dallas Harvest Festival's Kiss-the-Pig contest. In addition, the ' project received the support of Terry Rutkowski’s family and friends through memorial donations. Several members of the fam- ily were on hand for the dedi- cation. Leo Rutkowski provid- ed a picture of his wife as a college graduate. It is hanging above a calligraphy painting of her favorite quote, “Literature is life.” “She would be happy about this,” said her sister-in-law Roberta Reese. “She was a beautiful person and we surely miss her.” Veterans assistance at Dallas Township Thomas Morris from the Governor’s Outreach and Assistance Center will be at the Dallas Township munici- Leah Amico of Shavertown was presented a plague for being An Outstanding Volunteer for her help in transform= ing the library.

A KINGSTON TWP. @ (continued from page 1) The budget for 2005 is balanced, thanks to the 10-mill property tax that was reinstated for 2004 after a hiatus of 10 years. Counting $192,368 that levy is pro- jected to bring in next year, the general fund budget shows a sur- plus of about $15,000. That “We came up short when it comes to funding for the Back Mountain library.” Jeffrey Box Kingston Twp. Supervisor contrasts with a projected $200,000 deficit at this time a year ago. There are not many surprises in the 2005 plan. Savings on the cost of workmen’s com- pensation insurance and increases in permit fees help the revenue side, while a hike in + pension and insurance costs add to expendi- tures. Tax rates will remain the same: 10 mills local property tax, a 1 percent earned income tax and 0.5 percent on real estate transfers. While the Budget passed unanimo there was disagreement when it came tim select a collection agency for the income tax. Box and David Jenkins favored the Berkheimer Agency, in part because it col- lects the tax for the Dallas School District. Yankovich, Sabol and Carl Goodwin sup- ported J.P. Harris, which is finishing up its first year working for the township. Goodwin spoke on the firm’s behalf, citing its record collecting delinquent taxes. “I have nothing against Mr. Harris,” Box responded, but he felt the firm’s capabilities are limited, since, he said, Kingston Township is it only client for collection of income taxes. But Harris kept the support of three super- visors to win a one-year contract. In the capital account, $75,000 is expected to be left over at the completion of the Green Road paving project. That money can be used toward replacement of the Center Street bridge, a job that is expected to commence next year.
