Jackson Township tries for recreation grant BY BONNIE DOMBROSKI Staff Writer The Jackson Township Board of Supervisors held their reorgani- zation meeting on Monday, Jan. 4, 1988 and followed with their regular meeting. Newly elected Chairman Thomas Adams head the board which also includes Charles Cigarski and Joseph Stager. Henry Zbick was retained as Township Secretary, while Blythe Evans will remain Township Solicitor. Two new appointments were named: John Truscavage to the Munici- pal Authority and Dave Roskos to replace Joe Stager on the Zoning Board. In the police report, Chief Donald Jones reported six acci- dents in the township with three persons requiring medical attention. There were five arrests made, including one for Driving Under the Influence of drugs and or alcohol. Jones reported that he attended the graduation of Patrolman Bill Norris from the NortheastTrain- ing Academy and that Donald Wright is doing well in his classes at the Lackawanna Junior College. When the meeting was opened to the public, a question was asked about money owed to Pasonick Engineers by the Jackson Township General Municipal Authority. Adams said no bill has been submitted to him and that he is waiting for a report from the Authority. An item bout a $50,000.00 grant was asked to be clarified. Stager replied that the township has applied for a grant to be used toward some kind of recre- ation center. There will be a Recreation Board set up and they will get the project started if the money is available. A soccer field or football field could be the first part of the recretion center with more work done as more grants are made available over the years. Stager also told of his attend- ance at a meeting of the Fire Company and how few people run this volunteer organization. He added he hopes members of the community will support this group with donations of money and any volunteer work that can be provided. Quick action saves trailer A trailer home located at 77C Lincoln St., Dallas, was saved, Thursday, thanks to quick action by Dallas firefighters. The mobil home, situated in the Roushey Plot, was rented by John Suhga and William Grigas. Grigas was attempting to thaw frozen water pipes with a blow torch, under the structure. Dallas Fire Chief Robert Besecker said heat from the blow torch caused the trailer’s wooden floor to smoulder which eventually ingnited and burst into flames, shortly before 11 a.m. Both Grigas and Suhga were home when the blaze broke out. Dallas firefighters who quickly arrived at the scene extinguished the blaze within 15 minutes. No one was injured and damage to the mobil home was limited to the bathroom floor and smoke and water damage.
