Kingston's Reese will be welcome at emergencies &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Think of it this way. You're a new boss. You've been told your predecessor
got fired for reasons that included his or her aloof styleYou've been warned
that a "hands-off" approach will bring you the same fate. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, ask yourself this question: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wouldn't you work hard to be an active manager? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Of course you would. And that's why Kingston's Mayor Gary Reese deserves a
pat on the back, not a slap on the wrist, for doing exactly the same thing. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Reese made headlines last week by ordering that he be told of emergencies
in the municipality. The list includes fires, explosions, murders and the
like; Reese said he wants to go to those scenes to keep tabs on his borough
first-hand, and to show "that I care about what's happening in Kingston,"
according to Friday's Times Leader. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Who could argue with that? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Well, some people, apparently, since Reese is now getting some darts about
interfering with police business, spreading himself too thin and so forth. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Come on. For one thing, Kingston has had many problems in the last few
years, but an overzealous mayor is not one of them. Just the opposite:
Kingston suffered because its mayor did not know enough about what was
happening. He admitted this fault and vowed to correct it, but the voters
still threw him out of office. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Reese is smart to sense that Kingston wants and needs a mayor with his
fingers practically glued to the community's pulse. More importantly, he's
proving that he's got the willpower to follow through -- to actually get up at
3 a.m. to go to a murder scene, for example. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He's showing he can "walk the walk" as well as "talk the talk." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 For another thing, Reese has scrupulously maintained that he'll let the
police officers, firefighters and others do their jobs. He's aware of the
dangers of micromanaging his emergency responders, and seems content to take
an observer's role at the red-light-and-siren scenes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 As for worries that the mayor may exhaust or overextend himself -- well,
Gary Reese is a big boy. We think he knows his limits. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Besides, it's not like his order will keep him awake for 36-hour shifts
like some sunken-eyed surgical intern. Kingston is not Philadelphia or the
Bronx, or even Wilkes-Barre, for that matter. It's closer to a small town than
it is to a big city. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 And among the blessings of a small town is that people can see, talk with
and get to know their mayor. That's the essence of what Gary Reese has
proposed, and for it he deserves residents' support.
