LION CUBS VISIT FIRE STATION Aas OLYMPICS tinued from Page 1 | ma. “We sit there rooting for an injury so we can get a chance to see Jill.” In a recent game, there was an injury and the Radzinski/Sum- ma clan saw Jill's arm coming for- -ward to assist the injured player when the network cut away from the scene. “Uncle Ted was yelling at the TV,” Summa laughed. Efforts to see his daughter on national TV have not all been in vain, though, as Radzinski saw her last Sunday when someone from the U.S. team got injured. “Yep, I saw her on TV,” the proud father said. “She’s always wearing a red jacket.” After graduating from Dallas High School, Radzinski contin- ued her education at Penn State University where she was award- ed an athletic scholarship and was named an All-American. She earned a Master’s Degree in Sports Management from the University of Richmond. Prior to joining the staff at the University of California, Radzin- ski volunteered at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado where she worked with many members of the U.S. Olympics speed-skating team, including Apolo Ohno, who is on track to become the most decorated Unit- ed States Winter Olympics ath- lete of all time. Radzinski has traveled all over the world with United States ath- letes, including to China and Fin- land. Ted Radzinski says his daugh- ter has a gold medal from a tour- nament won by United States speed-skaters and expects that, should the women’s ice hockey team win a gold medal in Van- couver, she will get one, too. The United States team defeat- ed China, 12-0, and Russia, 13-0. It was scheduled to play Finland on Thursday night.

SIAND'S Continued from Page 1 “It was something that was a concern of us and we did not do it lightly. We are trying to look up and down the highway and see where Tom might be able to move.” Daniels said he was excited that Intermountain Medical Facility is constructing a new medical office next door to his business, hoping it would attract more customers. Now, instead of gaining busi- ness, he has until April 30 to va- cate the premises. “You know what burns me?” Daniels said. “Our government helped all of these banks but they damn sure aren’t helping us.” Daniels is looking for some- where to set up shop in the Back Mountain, but all of the places he has looked at so far are either too large or twice the rent he is pay- ing now. If he cannot find a location he can afford, he will likely have to close the business and look for a job, he said. “Who's going to hire a 65-year- old these days?” he asked. “I was hoping to sell the business and retire, but I can’t put it for sale now ‘cause I gotta get outta here.” Siani asks that his customers who still have clothes at the busi- ness to please pick them up by the end of March.

Also, the supervisors ta- bled a vote for the final in- spection of the Goodleigh Manor subdivision. David Lopatka, of Acker As- sociates Inc., requested the fi- nal inspection and requested the release of the company’s 18-month maintenance bond if improvements suggested by the township are deemed adequate. The $704,176.80 bond reac- hes maturity on March 16, 2010. Doughton said there are still four or five problems noted, including seeps in the asphalt and a hump in the road, but they don’t amount to the total funds bonded. He suggested allowing the developer to offer a replace- ment letter of credit for the amount needed for the repairs or to forfeit the amount for re- pairs from the original bond. The vote was tabled until Doughton can get an estimate of the cost of the repairs.
