S.R. 193 Extension Project Update |
|
|
|
Friday, 10 May 2013 |
 Construction on SR-193 started mid-December 2012. The bulk of construction will take place this year. Project completion is scheduled for summer, 2014.
• The UTA trail between Center Street and Main Street (Phase 1) has been closed to install a pedestrian crossing under the roadway. The closure is expected to last until summer, 2014.
• 700 South between Depot Street and the Freeport Center (Phase 3) will be closed for up to 10 months. The project team anticipates the closure beginning around mid-summer. This closure will not take place until the new section of road between Main Street and Center Street is open and detours are in place.
• The Freeport Center started road construction in April, 2013. The construction is impacting roads just inside the Freeport Center at the 700 South entrance. This work is separate from the SR- 193 Project and questions regarding the detour or construction need to be addressed to Bruce Cook, (801)430-0265 or Betty Parker (801)726-0487.
Please contact the SR-193 Extension Team if you have any questions about the project. You can also sign up through the website to receive weekly email updates and stay current on construction activities. (800) 948-4002 /

Annual Spring Clean Up |
|
|
|
Wednesday, 01 May 2013 |
May 2, 3, 4 & 9, 10, 11
Plan now to clean up your winter castoffs and take advantage of the city’s annual spring cleanup for two weekends in May. Clearfield citizens can drop off acceptable items at the lot south of the Public Works shops located at 497 S. Main. The lot will be open between the hours of 9am to 4pm on Thursday through Saturday, May 2, 3 and 4 and May 9, 10 and 11. Please note: residents must be able to unload their own items; city employees will only be on site to monitor activities.
Those taking advantage of this service must present a valid picture I.D. showing proof of Clearfield residency.
The city will not be able to accept material that cannot be deposited in the land fill, including:
• tires
• hazardous waste such as used oil, paint, solvents and other chemicals
• electronics, such as televisions, microwaves, computers, etc.
The city can accept car batteries; however, they must be separated so they can be placed on a pallet. A dumpster will be on site during the Spring Clean-up for disposal of metals. Residents will need to bring the items to the Public Works shops and unload them into the dumpster. Please separate your green waste from the rest of your delivered waste. Green waste consists of biodegradable materials such as lawn trimmings, leaves, tree branches and limbs not to exceed four feet in length. City employees will not accept material that does not meet these requirements and dumping in containers afterhours may be subject to citation. You can make arrangements with the city for at-home metal pick-up, as our schedule permits, by calling (801) 525-2700.

Pioneer Adult Rehabilitation Center (PARC)
485 PARC Circle
 “We truly believe that when individuals are participating and contributing to their communities, those communities are at their best,” stated Robert P. Daniels, Pioneer Adult Rehabilitation Center (PARC) CEO in their 2012 Annual Report.
From assembling mountain climbing and glacier assault kits for the U.S. Marines, to a sheet metal worker in Hill Air Force Base’s Wing Shop, to a restaurant worker at Chili’s, PARC employees are contributing to our community in many ways.
PARC is a community rehabilitation program, administered by the Davis School District, whose mission is to “foster independence for people with disabilities through employment and training.” They opened their doors in 1972 with just 12 clients (PARC refers to their employees as clients), three staff members, and an annual budget of $25,000. Today PARC trains and employs close to 500 individuals with disabilities annually and is supported by an annual budget of over $8 million. $5.5 million dollars of that is paid in wages and benefits directly to persons with disabilities.
PARC has four programs in which their clients can be placed, based on the client’s personal needs and choices, and their skill set and ability level: Community Employment, Commercial and Government Contracts, Employment of Choice, and Pathways to Careers.
Under their Community Employment program PARC trains persons who may be physically, developmentally or learning disabled, and provides them with assistance in obtaining and maintaining successful employment. They may be placed in a local job, like a greeter position at Wal-Mart, or as a fast food worker at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Their job coach makes sure the clients are trained and ensures quality control while on the job.
PARC has major government contracts thanks to the AbilityOne Program, which provides employment for disabled persons with federal entities. They have government contracts with agencies like Hill Air Force Base, Salt Lake Tax Commission, the Toole Army Depot, and Bridger Applied Technology College in Brigham City. PARC even runs a deli on Hill Air Force Base called “Runway Ruby’s.” After opening in 2010, the restaurant proved so popular that Runway Ruby’s had to move to a larger facility to accommodate the crowds
“PARC currently has 120 employees working at Hill Air Force Base. A few have been there for 30 years,” said Chad Miller, PARC’s Marketing Manager. “Our clients provide Hill AFB with custodial work and at PARC’s facility in Clearfield, clients sort excess mechanical parts, such as old airplane parts, based on metal content.”
Many Clearfield-based manufacturers have contracted with PARC as well, including Lifetime Products, Cleasby Manufacturing, Hark’n’ Technologies, JENMAR, and Utility Trailer, to name a few.
“We have been successful in increasing the awareness of what our workforce can do for businesses,” said Miller. “We can usually save the company money and come in under deadline.”
PAR C trains its employees and follows up on quality assurance – which saves employers both time and money. Also, with PARC, employers don’t have to provide employee benefit packages and cover worker’s compensation liabilities since many operations can take place under PARC’s roof.
“We can tour local facilities and find gaps in the production process – opportunities that our clients can fill in to improve efficiency,” Miller said.
PARC’s Employment of Choice program currently has 85 clients working onsite at their Clearfield location. This is a day training program where clients are trained and work on production projects through contracts with local businesses. At this facility, which opened in 1996 and is built on the location of Clearfield’s very first elementary school (Pioneer Elementary), PARC’s capabilities include kitting, packaging, shrink wrap, laundry, sorting, quality testing, light manufacturing, assembly and more.

“We have a commercial laundry facility onsite,” explained Miller. “A Weber State grad student came up with a way for our clients, who may not be able to read, to easily sort clean uniforms by scanning a microchip inserted into each piece of laundry. An easily recognizable image is displayed on the computer screen, allowing the client to match up the garment with the corresponding delivery destination.”
Out of 45 applicants nationwide, PARC was recently chosen by the Institute for Economic Empowerment to be the site of a pilot program called the Pathways to Careers program. This program utilizes an in-depth Discovery process for youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve a match between their abilities with jobs and careers in the community. (For more information on the Pathways to Careers program or any of PARC’s programs visit their website at www.parc-ut.org, or www.pathwaystocareers.org).
PARC isn’t all about work and no play. Clients participate in the Special Olympics program, Hill AFB and AbilityOne honors PARC with an annual picnic, and each year PARC holds their Pallet Race in which local organizations, including Clearfield City, race unique contraptions built with wooden pallets

You know they’ve done a grand job in meeting their mission by helping those who are disabled to participate and contribute to the community, when, as one client said it best, “I love working at PARC!”
We love having PARC in our community.
