To Honor Friends Of Trail The Rail-Trail Council of NE PA will be honoring the volunteer efforts put forth by individuals who have assisted in the growth and development of the D&H Rail-Trail and the Council. This year’s winners will be guests of honor at a dinner meeting of the Council at 6 p.m., April 24, at Orazzi’s Restaurant. All are welcome, reservations are required through the Rail-Trail office (785-7245). The Friend of the Trail Award is given to Ed Wallace, of Simpson. Ed has maintained the Simpson trailhead for many years. He takes pride in a well-kept trail entrance and keeps an eye on the trail. The Special Service Award goes to Joseph (Jay) Pollits, of Greenfield Township. As a landscaper, Jay has installed many of the D&H Rail-Trail’s trailheads. However, Jay goes beyond the call of a contractor and takes special care in his plantings, fitting them to the area. His expertise has enabled the Council to present a pleasant trail experience. Jay has done much to enhance the Rail-Trail. The President’s Award for 2003 recognizes longtime board member Bill Keim, of Herrick Township. Bill was a founding board member in 1991 and has taken an active role ever since. Bill, as manager of Herrick Hill Huckleberry Farm has raised many funds for the RTC by donating proceeds from Labor Day blueberry picking. Bill also organized the first bike-a-thon on the trail, as well as taking part in many trail cleanups and Trails Day activities. When a volunteer is needed, Bill is always ready. The Rail-Trail Council truly appreciates all its volunteers and their efforts put forth to help develop the trail system.
