Jay Roberts shares
hopes for Marietta
‘‘As look at it, we have a
good Council this time,”
says Jay Roberts, the new
president of Marietta Bor-
ough Council. ‘“We have a
good cross section of all
walks of life in the borough,
from housewife to pro-
fessional. We have a good,
relaxed atmosphere. There
is a lot of interest. I’ve seen
more committee meetings in
the past week than in the
two years I was on Council.”
Roberts expects several
new programs to develop
this year: an improved youth
program, a master street
programs, and a new
housing code.
He foresees only two
problems, but they are big
ones: coping with the
national flood plain re-
gulations, and money.
The money problem is the
toughest. After heading the
finance committe for the
past two years, Roberts has
no illusions about the size of
the problem.
At the moment, one sixth
of the borough budget is

Restoration
Associates
to open
info center
As a public service, the
Marietta Restoration Assoc-
iates are opening an in-
formation center in the
business district of the
town.
The official ribbon cutting
ceremony will take place
Saturday afternoon at 2:00
with the Mayor, Council
President and Restoration
Associates presiding over
the event.
This center is a storefront
located at 36 West Market
Street and will be open 9:00
am to noon Saturday,
through May, for the
public’s use. In it will be
such publications as The Old
House Journal and other
reference material related to
restoration and preserva-
tion. In addition, the
Associates hope to keep on
file topics related to Mar-
ietta’s history.
The group feels that with
the ever-increasing num-
bers of ‘‘do-it-yourselfers’’
restoring properties in town,
and with the inclusion of
large parts of Marietta in
the National Register of
Historic Places, there is a
definite need for such a
repository of practical in-

Sherri Kinsey about to put in the ball for her 1000th
January 23, 198)
Dribblers win twice;
Last week it was Sherri
Kinsey. This week it will
probably be Mitch Johnson
who will score his 1000th
point for Donegal High
School, making him the
second person, and the first
male, to score so many
points in the 25-year history
of the school.
The numerical event
could occur in Tuesday’s
game with Elizabethtown, if
Johnson should score
1000th point this week
Mitch can score 45 points in
that game. He did score 41
points playing against
Elizabethtown earlier this
year.
More likely, the event will
take place Friday night at
Garden Spot.
Last week Mitch scored 33
points in Donegal’s 80 to 66
victory over ELCO on
Tuesday. Friday he scored
24 points in the 50 to 38 win
over North Lebanon.
Kinsey passes
1000 point mark!
Last Wednesday night
Sherri Kinsey scored the
1000th point in her
basketball career.
It was the first time a
player from Donegal had
passed the 1000 mark in
the 25-year history of the
school district.
The milestone was passed
in the Donegal girls’ game
with Pequea Valley, a game
they won 111 to 28. The
game was temporarily
interrupted after Sherri’s
achievment. Ken Depoe,
assistant athletic director at
Donegal, presented Sherri
with the game ball. By the
First at Donegal
end of the game Sherri’s
lifetime total stood at 1022.
At the start of the game
Sherri needed only three
points to make a 1000. Her
first shot at the basket
swished through perfectly.
Her next three shots for the
crucial score, however,
missed. The fourth attempt
succeeded, and the crowd
shouted its approval.
On Friday the girls beat
Columbia 70 to 44, and
Sherri brought her career
total to 1040.
The girls are undefeated
in their league and are
indisputably in first place.
Ken Depoe, assistant athletic director at Donegal, presents Sherri Kinsey
with the game ball; the ball used by Kinsey to score her 1000th point. Kinsey
was the first player in the 25-year history of Donegal to achieve such a mark, and
it looks like Mitch Johnson will join her sometime this week.
