structed behind the family Funeral Home.
It was “Iffy” right up to the end, but the roof held film
as it moved from the old foundation to the new. Edged up
and along by a gigantic crane, jutting over 60 feet into the
air, the 30 year old lid was destined to land in tact or
crumble in mid air. It was a success or failure venture
for Beautmont Funeral Director Paul Nulton, Jr. on
Thursday morning, August 5. And his happy smile as the
roof gently touched down on the new 46x25 foot garage
was evidence of the final result.
Nulton said he decided to try moving the roof in an
yempt to save dollars. Crane rental cost $800. But
structing a roof from scratch was estimated to cost
close to $4,000. Of course, he knew he would have lost his
investment if the idea didn’t work. But Nulton put his
faith in his friend, Norman Dymond, a masonary con-
tractor from Vernon.
Dymond orchestrated the entire job, and assured
Nulton his chances were good. Nulton’s faith was well
placed as the six ton structure moved easily and safely.
“This is the most excitement Beaumont has seen in ten
years,” said Nulton, as neighbors gathered to watch the
drama. The danger point occurred when the roof broke
loose from the old structre and was initially supported by
the eight wires reaching from the crane. But all went
well, Walsh steel crane operator, Peter Wasenda
manipulated the controls expertly and Dymond and a

in the rear of the funeralhome on Route 309. He estimates
he’ll have room for about 40 cars once the old structure is
cleared out of the way. The new garage sits just behind
the old and was built with the exact dimensions of the
original.
Nulton also expressed confidence in the construction of
the roof itself. Built by his grandfather, the late Harry B.
Gibson, it was “alot stronger than anything you'll find
built today, he said. “I wish the old guys were here to
seethis. But I have a feeling he’s looking down and
watching with a big grin on his face.”

If Jackson Township supervisors take over the roads in
the Sutton Hills development off Sutton Road, modern
communications can certainly take no credit for the
accomplishment. Township fathers have had the issue
thrust upon them periodically since 1979 and still have
not come face-to-face with developer John Churnetsky.
Most recently, a meeting was finally arranged for July
29. This, however, was cancelled when Churnetsky was
called out of town. The meeting was proposed at the July
12 supervisory session in response to a petition from the
14 residents living in the development. The decision to
talk to Churnetsky was made after three months of
haggling and an engineer’s report on the condition of the
roads:
lovely spacious homes and surroundings. While the road
itself is somewhat hilly with several wide curves, it
appears smooth and has stable shoulders. Churnetsky
says the layout was constructed with the explicit ap-
proval of Township planners. He sees no reason for a
problem now.
Still, Township Engineer Michael Pasonick, in his
report to the supervisors, said the pavement is
alligatoring and again required guardrails in the dip
adjacent to the pond.
Churnetsky has explained in the past that he has strong
ground television, electric and telephone cables. But he
continues to maintain, he is willing to discuss the matter
with the supervisors and Pasonick.
Why hasn’t he done so? The issue has been brought up

repeatedly at public meetings in the township. Other
developers, who build in the municipality, are watching
to see that regulations are not eased for Sutton Hills. Jim
Veras, developer of Bulford Farms, said the supervisors
are aware that they are on a tightrope. “They can’t do
anything for Churnetsky that they won’t do for the rest of
us,” he said.
On the other hand, at least 14 taxpaying families live in
Sutton Hills, paying hefty amounts for their properties.
They feel, and everyone agrees, that they deserve
something for their money, and road maintenance is
about the only service a homeowner gets in Jackson
Township.
Churnetsky said he has always relied on a private
contractor to keep the roads clean during foul winter
weather. But, he said, icing problems experienced in the
region last winter, were a serious hardship.
He also noted that he is not a professional developer,
although he takes the responsibility very seriously. He
said he understands why the residents want the Town-
ship to take over the .7 miles of road after last winter.
But, he also explained that idea of private roads is rather
appealing, too. “It gives us privacy,” he said.
In the meantime, the supervisors, Churnetsky and
Pasonick have not said any of this to each other. They
still have not met. Churnetsky says he doesn’t even know
what chairman Walter Zincavage looks like and he’s ‘sure
Zincavage doesn’t know him. With such cooperation and
communication, it’s no wonder a simple matter of road
takeover takes three years. How long might it take to
solve a real problem in Jackson Township? 3
