One-Two-Three-Strike Out Cancer - 9th ANNUAL DILLSBURG RELAY FOR LIFE

The feeling of the last out at a baseball game is a cause for great celebration for the winning team.  Relay for Life strives for this celebration by striking out cancer!  The 9th Annual ACS Dillsburg Relay for Life will be held at Robert Bostic Field (located on the Northern York County School District High/Middle School Campus) starting at noon on Friday, June 21st and ending on Saturday, June 22nd at noon.  Teams will be creating their own strategy to "Strike Out Cancer" as they walk for 24 hours because CANCER NEVER SLEEPS.  Please help by signing up to walk.  Games, music, a car show, movies, and food are all on the agenda.  A "Survivors Reception and Ceremony" will start at 6 P.M. on Friday followed by the "Luminaria Remembrance Ceremony" at 8:45 P.M.  If you are a survivor and/or a caregiver please attend this celebration of life gathering.  A golf tournament will be held on Friday, May 17th at Range End Golf Club.  Our goal is to provide "Hope and Joy" to those who have been touched by cancer.  The community is reminded that Relay Teams are still in the planning stages and anyone who is interested in forming a team, being part of one, or would like to help in anyway, contact Tracy Veres at coachtv5@ptd.net or visit us at www.relayforlife.org/padillsburg.

Scott Perry - REDISTRICTING BRINGS CHANGES TO THE DISTRICT

It continues to be a great privilege representing you in Harrisburg, and every 10 years, a process called redistricting takes place which, following the taking of a census, changes the makeup of most, if not all of the legislative districts in Pennsylvania.

As a result of the 2010 census, the 92nd Legislative District has changed.  I want to thank the people of South Middleton Township and Mount Holly Springs Borough in Cumberland County for the honor of serving you, and at this time, I welcome the people of Monroe Township.  In York County, I welcome the people of Warrington Township and the Borough of Wellsville.

To keep up to date on the redistricting process, visit http://www.redistricting.state.pa.us.  Here is a look at the map of the new district.

BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES

By Julio Mendez, Director York County 911

You never know when an emergency might arise.  More than 234,000 calls were place to York County's 911 center last year.  That equates to approximately one call for every two York County residents.  It is fair to say most callers had no idea when they awoke in the morning they would be calling 911 later in the day.  That's why it's important every member of our community prepare for emergencies before they happen.  As part of that process, residents should ensure that they know certain information about the places where they spend the most time.  Providing this information to 911 operators helps them help you.

You should know:

    THE TOWNSHIP, BOROUGH OR CITY FROM WHICH YOU'RE CALLING

    YOUR PHONE NUMBER

    STREET ADDRESS

Many 911 calls come from homes and workplaces, so it's important to post this information prominently in those locations.  In the confusion of an emergency, it can serve as a resource if you, a family member, visitor or co-worker needs to call 911.  Parents should teach their children this information and regularly reinforce it, particularly after a move.  It should also be emphasized with friends and older relatives.  Of course, there are times when you or someone else might need to call and won't be able to provide a dispatcher with this information.  That's not a problem.  York County ahs one of the most advanced 911 systems in the nation.  Our operators can trace your call to dispatch the appropriate team of responders.  Any information you can provide helps ensure you get the best response possible.

Every member of the community is encouraged to fill out an emergency card and post it in a prominent location such as on a refrigerator, to ensure it's readily available if you or someone else needs to call 911 from that location.  These cards are available in both English and Spanish.  They can be printed from the Internet at http://www.ycdes.org/index.php/yc911/publiced  or they are also available through our Department of Emergency Services by calling (717) 840-2948.

PennDOT Reminds Homeowners to Prepare Mailboxes for Winter

PennDOT reminds residents living along rural state and local roads that now is the time to prepare mailboxes for the winter months.  Snow thrown from plows can easily damage mailboxes that are not prepared.

Mailboxes are normally placed within the state's legal right-of-way; however, mailbox damage is the responsibility of the property owner.

If a mailbox is placed as far from the edge of the road as the carrier can reach from a vehicle and the mailbox is placed on a sturdy support, it should be able to withstand the force of snow thrown from a plow.

PennDOT offers these tips to help reduce the risk of mailbox damage:

    *    Place a 6 to 8 inch piece of reflective tape on the mailbox to help snow plow operators see it at night.

    *    Remove snow from around the mailbox, but never throw it back onto the road.

    *    If the mailbox is located within the legal right-of-way and damage was experienced in the past, homeowners may want to consider repositioning the mailbox before winter.

Homeowners who have followed these tips in the past have still experience mailbox damage may wish to consider installing a cantilevered mailbox support that will swing a mailbox out of harm's way.  Visit www.dot.state.pa.us for a copy of plans for a cantilever mailbox support.

Contact your local post office for more information about how to correctly position a mailbox.

Township News for EMA

The Emergency Management Office is available for assistance to the Township residents in case of an EXTREME loss or event in the Township.  We step in and help when a situation exists that is beyond the scope of the "normal", for example lengthy power outages, large scale disasters and any event that would be more extreme in nature than the police department and/or fire department would be able to handle on their own resources.  Tornado and hurricanes, and wide-spread flooding would be another example.

There is a "Special Assistance Needs" form Special Assistance Needs.pdf to be completed.  If there are any changes in household information of which the Township and EMA should be aware, please complete the updated information.   These forms are the only way we have to be aware of serious medical conditions and provide the name and phone number for contact persons.  Also, if there are property conditions of which the emergency services organizations should be aware, they should be listed on the form.

Please send the filled out form to the Township Office via mail, fax, email monaghantownship@comcast.net, or drop off at the township office for forwarding to the EMA Coordinator.

Any resident interested in working with EMA, please contact the Township Office.

Rent – A – Kid

          The Rent-A-Kid program, sponsored by the York County Area Agency on Aging (YCAAA), is a unique, intergenerational program bringing senior citizens and teenagers together.  York County senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, who need help with household chores, odd jobs, and yard work are matched with a teenager in their area who can assist.  The recommended payment is $5.00 per hour, but is negotiable depending upon the job.

          Don’t wait until the snow is already on the ground!  Arrange for help with your chores BEFORE you need it.  Call (717) 771-9103 or 1-800-632-9073 for information on Rent-A-Kid participants in your area.

Jeri Jones is looking at a connection between the groundwater, rainfall and the tremors.  If you feel any tremors, please contact him as you have in the past.  Tracking these tremors is still important, especially since he is correlating them with rainfall.
