Philadelphia Flyers attend Warner Cable PRISM celebration
Last week Warner Cable
TV of Marietta celebrated
the initiation of PRISM in
Warner’s area with a
party at Mr. Lacy’s
Lounge. Members of the
Philadelphia Flyers attend-
ed, and 2 hockey sticks,
each signed by the entire
team, were given out as
door prizes.
PRISM will bring local
subscribers first-run movies
never seen before on TV,
plus Flyers, Sixers and
Phillies games at the
Spectrum Vet Stadium.
Also shown—without com-
mercials at any time, by
the way—will be boxing,
wrestling, track, tennis,
and selected family shows.
PRISM is brought to your
home by attaching a special
channel selector to your
existing cable connection; it
only takes a few minutes.
Then all the PRISM pro-
grams are available on the
PRISM channel.
John Calvetti, president
of PRISM, welcomed the
guests to the celebration.
Mr. Calvetti has 20 years’
experience in TV broad-
casting, and 12 years’ in
cable TV. He was formerly
president of Oceanic Cable
TV in Hawaii.

Democrats rally
Last Thursday the Done-
gal and Hempfield Demo-
crats held a campaign rally
at the Mount Joy Legion.
Candidates for for local
legislative seats presented
their approaches to state
and national issues.
Dallas Lewis, county co-
ordinator “for the Flaherty
for Governor campaign,
spoke on behalf of Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candi-
date Pete Flaherty. Lewis
said that Flaherty’s admin-
istration in Pittsburgh
successfully turned that
city around, and that there
was no corruption there.
He said that Flaherty
increased government ser-
vices and revitalized down-
town Pittsburgh.
The people who know
Flaherty, he said, over-
whelmingly selected him as
the gubernatorial candidate
for Pennsylvania.
Also speaking was Chuck
Boohar, a congressional
candidate. He stressed the
need to have Lancaster
County represented in
Washington. “It is one
thing to vote the right wing
line on issues that don’t
affect the county,” he said,
“It’s another to vote
against the legitimate
needs and interests of
Lancaster County.’’ He
mentioned federal road
maintenance money and
Amtrak subsidies as things
the incumbent congress-
man voted against.
Art Glatfelter, candidate
for the 28th Senate seat,
told the group about his 30
years’ experience as a
small businessman, and his
experience serving in com-
munity organizations. He
promised to take the lead-
ership on the problems of
the high cost of govern-
ment, over-regulation, and
‘““We have

seen no real leadership in
these areas,”” he said.
Saying the present legis-
lature seems to be led by
special interest groups, he
said he plans to fight hard
on a few major problems at
a time.
Mark Osborne, candidate
for the 98th district, spoke
on ‘‘‘the big issues:”’
accountability, responsive-
ness to human needs,
waste and mismanagement.
His first priority, if elected,
would be to review the way
business is being done in
Harrisburg. He advocated
reorganizing PennDOT and
getting the roads into
usable condition.
Osborne said that legis-
lators have too many fringe
benefits, and said the
present legislator is un-
responsive to the needs of
the people.
Joe Dennison, candidate
for the 97th district, spoke
next. He said there is a
need for true representa-
tion in the state capitol. He
mentioned several issues:
Health and Welfare, waste
in the transportation de-
partment (which he said
has a built-in deficit of
$100 to $250 million), and
the need for home con-
struction standards. The

average new house, he
said, contains air leaks
equivalent to a three-foot
hole in the exterior wall.
Dennison would like to
establish a program to
control abuses by both the
providers and recipients of
Medicaid funds. *
Jack Matoney of Mount
Joy introduced the speak-
ers. About 25 people
attended the party.
Redevelopment Authority
