FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We would like to invite those in the community who are interested in helping out with the festival to volunteer. This would also be an excellent opportunity for organizations to volunteer such as church youth groups, community groups or organizations, school groups, etc. One area where there is a special need is to have individuals with electrician skills. Other areas where volunteers are needed include setting up before the festival, trash clean-up, helping with children’s games, distributing programs or tearing down after the festival. We welcome all volunteers. If you are interested in helping, please contact Dave Hirko at 749-0725 (day) or 322-3433 (evening) or Paulette Baker at 322-1863.

The following roads are entirely or in part scheduled to be paved in 2004: Kagey Street, Loraine Road and Woodland Street The following roads are entirely or in part scheduled to be seal coated (tar & chipped) in 2004: Adams Avenue, Blackburn Road, Bracken Street, Price Street, Glenn Street, Hunts Road, Kepple Road, Loraine Road, Mackall Street, Maple Leaf Street, Marhefka Drive, Mile Hill Road, Price Street, Sharkey Road, Simmons Lane, Wagner Road The above road projects are part of an ongoing plan to maintain all Township roads and insure that they are in the best condition possible for residents to safely use and enjoy.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE BUILDING CODE TAKES EFFECT
The Jackson Township Board of Supervisors made the decision to opt-in to the State Uniform Building Code at their April 29^th meeting with the Code actually taking effect on July 1^st within Jackson Township. Supervisor Stephens voted against opting in the State Building Code. The Code will be law throughout the State of Pennsylvania for all residents on July 9th. The Supervisors voted to join the Cambria County Building Codes Enforcement Agency which will have offices located at the Cambria County Human Services Building in Ebensburg. The local agency is starting up with 29 townships and boroughs participating and will provide building inspections initially through an agreement with MDIA (Middle Department Inspection Agency). By having a local agency, any inspections needed on building projects within Jackson Township should be timely and cost efficient. For municipalities who opt out of the Building Code, the law still remains in effect for residents but they would have to deal directly with Harrisburg instead of having a local contact. A section has been added to the Jackson Township Website (www.jacksontwppa.com) for the Building Code. There you find a link to the entire Code as was adopted by Pennsylvania lawmakers. For the most part, repairs will not require inspections. The key word is "replacement". A good example is windows. . .if you are replacing a window the same size, no permit is needed but if you are installing a larger or smaller sized window, it may require a permit and inspection. Some of the items that will not require inspections are fences less than six feet high, painting, papering, carpeting, cabinet or counter top installation or similar finishing work, replacement of glass in windrows or doors, replacement of a furnace or water heater providing the size of equipment or source of energy doesn’t change, replacement of existing siding or sheds less than 500 square feet.  Pennsylvania is only one of only three States that did not have a Statewide Building Code in place. The Building Code will force contractors to meet minimum safety and building requirements for building projects and protect citizens from "fly by night" contractors who take shortcuts at the expense of the homeowner.

WALKING TRACK TO BE BUILT AT LEIDY PARK
The Board of Supervisors voted at their April 29^th meeting to accept the low bid of $13,333.00 from Capitol Construction Company to install a walking track around Leidy Park. The park development started last year with the laying our of a ball field and just this Spring, a backstop was installed along with fencing around the park perimeter. Prior to that new playground equipment was installed as well. The walking track will be a welcome addition as more and more people are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle and walking is one of the recommended exercises for all ages. The Board also unanimously passed a motion to have the Recreation Commission gather facts and figures on the cost of new pavilions, walking trails and related recreational activities at Mitchell, Leidy and Loraine Parks. The Commission will present their findings to the Supervisors for planning future development of recreation within Jackson Township. Mitchell Park is a long-established park in Vinco and the most developed of the three parks. Leidy Park is now taking shape and Loraine Park will be developed in the future after a plan is formulated. Before anything can be done at Loraine Park a plan must be in place. This is especially important in applying for grants and funding. It is hoped that the Cambria County Redevelopment Authority can assist the Recreation Commission in coming up with a plan for the Loraine Park area. This was done with their help for Leidy Park for which we are now seeing the results of the plan become reality. Funding sources for improved recreation include not only grants but also from select timbering. Timbering was done at Mitchell Park in 2002 which netted over $30,000. Jackson Township is currently applying for a matching grant of $5,000 from the Cambria County Commissioners who introduced their "Community Initiative Program". Recreation is one of the top priorities for residents and businesses locating into an area. By developing the Township recreation facilities and parks, Jackson Township will become a more desirable place to live and raise a family. By investing in our parks we are also investing in our children and their children. There is currently a vacant position on the Jackson Township Recreation Commission. If you are interested in serving on the Commission, please contact the Jackson Township Supervisors or call 749-0725.

PLANNING COMMISSION TO MAIL OUT CITIZENS SURVEY
At the April 29^th meeting Supervisor Bruce Baker made a motion to authorize the Jackson Township Planning Commission to create and mail a survey to all Township residents to gather their thoughts and ideas for future growth, recreation and development of Jackson Township. By having the survey, it is hoped that residents of the Township will be able to give their input on what they would like to see in Jackson Township. In a recent Community Development Block Grant meeting, several Jackson residents expressed a desire to have housing for Senior Citizens. Another expressed a need for sewage and still others for water. Another important area is recreation and to see what types of recreation facilities people desire to have. This is a good chance to get feedback from the younger school age residents of Jackson Township as well. The questions for the survey will be created by the Planning Commission members and are yet to be determined. Many municipalities use a survey to find out what people truly want in their community and it is hoped that this will be a "key" tool in planning for Jackson Township’s future. For additional information, contact Bruce Baker, Chairman of the Planning Commission at 749-0725.

ADDITIONAL STREET LIGHTS APPROVED BY SUPERVISORS
Last year the Board of Supervisors voted to have 35 street lights installed at various Township intersections as a result of recommendations received from the Planning Commission. Most of the lights have been installed and the reaction from residents has been highly favorable. The lights definitely make driving in Jackson Township safer as well as improving safety for pedestrians as well.  After reviewing the installation of 35 street lights in Phase I, the Planning Commission surveyed the remaining intersections and recommended another 35 lights be installed in Phase II. The Supervisors voted at their May 27, 2004 meeting to approve Phase II of the Street Lighting Program which will light up additional intersections within Jackson Township. The following intersections have been approved to have a street light installed:

Any Township road is eligible through this new program. Jackson Township will supply signs with your group name on and gloves, safety vests & signs and garbage bags at the time you choose to do your group clean-up. This program should compliment the other clean-up programs in place such as PennDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway Program. According to Don Godish of PennDOT in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania has more volunteers in this type of program than any other State in the US. These programs encourage community pride and will help make Jackson Township a cleaner place to live.

PRISON LABOR USED TO CLEAN UP ILLEGAL DUMP SITES
The Cambria County Solid Waste Authority in conjunction with Jackson Township carried out a successful illegal dump clean-up on April 28, 2004 cleaning up the old Lynx Lane which is not used for traffic but was obviously used as a dumping site. Also a gas pipeline area just off of Dishong Mountain Road was also cleaned up. The pipeline area was by far one of the worst dumping site in Jackson Township and there were many large piles of everything from appliances to carpeting to tires all along the pipeline area. Matt Riley, Illegal Dumping Enforcement Officer, of the Solid Waste Authority arranged to have prison labor from the Cambria County Prison perform the clean-up. Jackson Township Road Workers hauled the items to the Laurel Highlands Landfill and the tires to a tire recycling company in Hollidaysburg. The sites cleaned up are now posted alerting potential dumpers that the area has been cleaned and is being monitored. Since the program was so successful in Jackson Township, it is hoped that future clean-ups of illegal dumps can be arranged with similar successful results. Three townships initially utilized this program including Adams, Cambria and Jackson. According to Matt Riley, Jackson had by far the most trash, litter and tires at the sites cleaned up. At the Jackson dump sites, nearly 14 tons of trash and 100 tires were collected. Also cleaned up were shingles, scrap metal, appliances, microwaves, construction and demolition waste and miscellaneous junk. If you are aware of any dump sites that need cleaned up, please feel free to call the municipal office at 749-0725 or Mr. Riley at the Cambria County Solid Waste Authority at 472-2109.

RECORD CONSTRUCTION VALUE IN JACKSON TOWNSHIP
Even though we’re only half way through 2004, 85 building permits have been issued for construction in Jackson Township wish a total estimated value of $2,741,952.37. This amount compared to last years total for the entire year which was $2,592,385.00 shows that Jackson is on pace for a record setting year of new construction. There are constant inquiries about building new homes in Jackson Township reinforcing that Jackson is a desirable place to live and raise a family. Some of the primary reasons are location to Route 22, a well-respected school district and low taxes. According to Harry Baker, Zoning Officer, a big part of the building permits value is for new homes. A few are for commercial projects and the remainder are for additions or accessory buildings to existing properties.

FIRE COMPANY NEWS & EVENTS
Residents may have noticed the "black drape" on the front of the Fire Hall. The "black drape" was hung due to the Jackson Township Volunteer Fire Company losing one of their life-time members.

WATER AUTHORITY NEWS
James Humbert was hired in March as a Meter Reader for the Vinco area to fill the vacant position left open by Dan Wisniewski. Jim is working hard to learn the system and while performing his duties, he will be wearing a Jackson Township Water Authority uniform and should have identification at all times. With this in mind, the Water Authority would like to remind their customers to NEVER let anyone into your home without proper identification. If you should have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call the Authority Office at 322-1262. The Solar Street Water Line Extension Project is now 100% completed. A final inspection must be done before Jackson Township Water Authority takes over control of this line. This project was solely funded by the Cambria County Redevelopment Authority. PennDOT is in the process of relocating water lines for the new Route 22 Project and awarded a bid to Plum Construction. Plum Construction started the relocation on May 17^th of this year. The 6 inch line being relocated will be upgraded to an 8 inch line and several new fire hydrants will be added. Homes located by these hydrants can qualify for a discount on their Home Owners Insurance. The Mundy’s Corner Water Tank was inspected by Conrady Consultant Services out of Vero Beach, Florida in March. Their recommendation was to have the tank refurbished inside and out. This tank will be taken off line for approximately 6 weeks this summer. Some turbidity and low pressure may occur during this time. The overall cost of this project is in the range of $200,000 with no rate adjustment. Refurbishing the tank will extend the life span of the tank for another 20 years.

PLANNING A BUILDING PROJECT?
If you are planning on building project be sure to apply for a building permit.. This is now State Law with the passing of the Pennsylvania State Uniform Construction Code. Be sure to allow plenty of time to get your permit prior to building. By doing this, your permit can be addressed in plenty of time before you actually begin construction. Also if you are planning to pave or alter your driveway, a driveway permit is required. Roadmasters Bruce Baker & Dave Bracken said that driveway permits are not to inconvenience residents but are necessary to make sure there is a swale or pipe to direct stormwater. They also make sure that driveways are not higher than the road so snow plows don’t catch the edge of the driveway. When a driveway enters onto a Township road, a safe sight distance is also very important. PennDOT requires permits for driveways entering onto State roads within the Township.
