has begun moving forward with the implementation of a number of the study’s
key recommendations. As was previously reported, one of the key findings
of the feasibility study was the need for a Recreation and Parks Director to

Recreation Commission hired Curtis Strasheim to serve as its Recreation and

partially funded by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
Circuit Rider Program. Curtis began work on August 8, 2005. His

addition to his experience as a Parks and Recreation Director, Curtis also
brings 15 years of collegiate athletic coaching experience. Some
potential goals that he sees for the region include the continued development of
the region’s parks and trail system, the development of a maintenance schedule
