Regional Issues / Re: PARAGON Property NEWS

« on: August 15, 2008, 04:46:30 pm »

a couple of months ago, I and the president of of our club, Big Rubbers Custom 4x4 club, had a meeting with State Senator John Wozniak,( Johnstown area), we were there gaining his support for some things that our club is working on, which we garnered, and at the end of the meeting I mentioned this airport and what happened to Paragon, and he said " it will never happen, the state won't approve the funds for it" he went on to say " we already have an airport, that is not currently being used.  that we would be willing to give them" as we spoke, I found out that there is not really any support in the state government to support this airport. Sadly, in speaking with Kyle recently, he said that they are moving on and are looking to secure at least 1500 acres elsewhere in Pa. to re-open PARAGON. Those local politicians really screwed up a good thing for all of us.

Regional Issues / Re: WPA-4XTRAC needs help to get Rock Run 4x4 trails opened!

Big Rubbers Custom 4x4 club, my Club, was just out there last weekend doing trail maint. we are one of the 5 clubs that are on the committee that is working with Rep. Haluska. If you get the JRations magazine, look in the June issue for an article titled North Woods, why they named my article that, I haven't a clue. Anyways, with anything that has political implications, it takes a while to get things moving along, they are near completion of phase 1 and phase 2 will have some additional trails for us, they even have plans of building a hotel there to accommodate folks riding there. There is still a lot of work to be done before they open up to the public, so all of the e-mails you send in supporting the inclusion of SUV's will aid in getting this done. The more that the " powers that be" see what kind of response they will get, the better for all of us.
