Bellefonte, Pa.<\/strong> \u2013 On an unseasonably chilly day in May, a team of eight Restek employees left together to do something the company has been doing twice a year since 2009\u2014highway cleanup duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For eight years, Restek employees have maintained a two\u0002mile section of Route 144 running from Axemann to the Bellefonte Borough line as part of the PA Adopt A Highway program. Restek employees say it is a particularly important stretch of road because Logan Branch Creek\u2014a Class A wild trout stream\u2014runs along it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKeeping the area clean of litter helps keep the stream clean and productive, and we have a good time while we are doing it. Employees get to know each other a little better, and when we are done, we have lunch together,\u201d Jim Richards, the cleanup crew organizer and calibration coordinator at Restek, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven employees joined Richards in the May cleanup, including his youngest son, Jacob Richards, who was recently hired at Restek. The other employee-volunteers were Mike Goss, Christina Hill, Jerry Johnston, Kendra Jozefick, Jessica Resides, and Brian Yangula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the program, employees can participate during the workday each spring and fall in support of the company\u2019s environmental efforts and community service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it appears to be helping\u2014Richards said the cleanup was lighter than most year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to thank the many volunteers, past and present, that we have here at Restek that take the time to pick up someone else\u2019s trash twice a year,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t come with any kind of recognition or compensation, but it has its reward in serving the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
