Montour Trail-Letter

Each year without fail, Montour High School students from the G.A.T.E. program and Environmental Club, under the supervision of their teachers, Mr. Fleming and Mr. Kutzavich, choose the Montour Trail as one of their field trips. It's not for a tour of the Trail that they come. Rather, it's a day of hard work helping to clean and beautify it. Some of the tasks performed between miles 0 and 4.1 were: grass cutting, replacing broken split rail fencing, weed chopping behind fencing, and weeding and planting flowers in two of the park areas. Because the students of these groups were energetic and self-motivated, it was a pleasure to work with them. The Moon/Rob Friends of the Montour Trail were totally pleased with their performance, and are looking forward to working with them again next year.

Many thanks to these hard-working students: Katie Butler, Marissa Catanzarite, Erin Conlon, Angelo DiCicco, Jim Dupin, James Fazio, Candace Garfalo, Christine Giovanetti, Jason Hendricks, Matt Karg, Jeremy Kierski, Jim Lang, Dan Manius, Thomas Michaels, Rafaelae Moleiro, Steven Morphy, Bob Rizzo, Brian Schmella, Jacob Sullivan, Calvin Sweitzer, and their teachers, Bob Fleming and Bill Kutzavich. Also grateful thanks to Trail volunteers, Joan & Carl Schweiger, Freda Cochran, Dick Quasey, Bill Morphy, Jerry Bates, and Deb Hoerster for making it all possible.
