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.
