Newly Renovated Port Allegany Town Square
Borough Manager, Jeremy Morey, gave a walk-through tour of the newly renovated Town Square as Jim Kallenborn from Pine Valley Nursery continued to work on the project.
The project consisted of removing 13 trees from the Town Square, including 9 Pin Oak and 4 Crab Apple. PV Paving put in the new sidewalks and bump outs for tables, benches and trash cans. They also poured new, wider steps to the entrance of the gazebo as well as provided ADA access to the gazebo and throughout the square. PV Paving also installed the new electric service to and throughout the square as well as a rehab of the flag pole. There is a new panel box with all new wiring and outlets around the perimeter of the square and in the gazebo.
The new electric service more than doubles to former capacity on the square; the old duplex outlets were replaced with quadplex outlets with additional receptacle boxes added to each side of the square. The interior of the gazebo now has 4 duplex outlets as well. The gazebo renovation was completed by Borough workers. The renovations included painting the interior and exterior face board and brackets, removal of the old railing and the installation of a PVC wrap on all the columns and new vinyl railings and posts. Also, there is exterior wall pack lights, a new flood light to illuminate the flag pole and an interior light in the peak of the gazebo.
The square is now completely ADA accessible with available handicapped parking and van access on Maple St. at the Commons. Pine Valley Landscaping was sub-contracted to remove the trees and complete the new landscaping around the gazebo and final restoration of the site. Pine Valley also planted 15 new trees to replace the trees that were removed at the recommendation of a Penn State Arborist. PV Paving is the General Contractor on the project and sub-contracted with Pine Valley. A Grand Opening of the Square is currently in the planning stages and should happen in late August.

!! LIFE is actually a SPIRITUAL battle of WILLS !! By Roland Maxwell
!! LIFE is actually a SPIRITUAL battle of WILLS !!
By Roland Maxwell, humble and thankful servant of our Lord and Saviour.
Our HEART is where our power is. We control that power with our MINDS, though our (lost)WILL. Among the things that control our (lost)WILL are our morals, ethics, ideologies and fears that we have been indoctrinated with, peer influence, and our dreams. These are among the very CORE PRINCIPLES that make a human, a human, and they represent our character, or souls. So, our (lost)WILL is really who we are, if you have ever wondered “WHO AM I”, well, our (lost)WILL is the basic answer, but there are also two other SPIRITUAL influences, from outside us, that also effect “WHO WE ARE”, and they are the Devil’s (evil)WILL and God’s (perfect)WILL.
That means that “WHO WE ARE” without God’s (perfect)WILL in the picture, is a struggle between our (lost)WILL and the Devil’s (evil)WILL. But through God’s grace (God’s supernatural help), we can have access to God’s (perfect)WILL, and then we can have opportunity to have God’s (perfect)WILL start becoming a DOMINATING force over the other WILLS, which are our (lost)WILL and the Devil’s (evil)WILL. We live without access to God’s (perfect)WILL by default though. To get access to God’s grace (supernatural help) and his (perfect)WILL, in order to get it to become the DOMINATING force in our lives, (if we truly want it to), is through realizing that our (lost)WILL doesn’t lead us in our best interests, or to eternal life, or free us from our bondage to sin.
When we realize that, and confess to our own hopelessness, repent of our ways to where our (lost)WILL has led us, accept God’s atonement for sin, which is Christ Crucified, and Make the Lord Christ Jesus our master. Then we can have access to God’s grace (supernatural help) and can become a servant of God’s (perfect)WILL. Amen
