A Note From The Township Manager
As you read this, spring is here and this
past winter's frequent storms and "polar
vortices" will become distant memories.
Even though our roads, trees and cars took
a beating, we survived. I am also sure you
are tired of receiving those emergency
calls from me telling everyone that the
Township has declared a State of Snow
Emergency. While the calls can be
annoying at times, we have received
nothing but positive feedback. The
Township now uses the CodeRed®
Emergency Communication System
which not only allows the Township to
send emergency calls, but also emails
texts and instant messages. I urge you to
sign up all your phones and devices by
visiting the Township's website and
following the Community Emergency
Notification System Enrollment link.
In January, the Board of Commissioners
and Staff congratulated and said goodbye
to Ed Cross, the Township's Public Works
Director, on his retirement after 46 years
with the Township. His experience and
knowledge of the Township isn't going
too far as Ed will work part-time in the
Township Code Enforcement
Department as a Code
Enforcement/Special Projects Officer.
The Board of Commissioners has turned
over the keys to the Public Works
Department to an extremely capable
individual by appointing Bill Creighton
as the new Public Works Director. Bill is
a Marple Newtown High School graduate
and has been with the Township for over
26 years. He takes over the "Best" Public
Works Department in the County, and
there is no doubt that under his leadership
Marple will be the best in the state!
Here at the Township offices, we are
looking forward to the rest of the year.
The Board of Commissioners and the
Park and Recreation Committee will
begin a revision of the Master Site
Development Plan for Veterans Memorial
Park. As many of you know, Veterans
Memorial Park (Vet Park to the regulars),
is the Township's most used park. From
its walking track and playground to its
memorial remembrance of our loved
ones, the Park is rarely without visitors. It
is however, 18 years old and ready to
transition into adulthood. The Board
will look at increasing parking capacity,
expanding the playground and walking
track, establishing a nature walk and
finding opportunities to better utilize the
gazebo for community events. The
Broomall Rotary has donated funds to the
Township for the installation of a Bocce
Court next to the horseshoe pits. Look for
changes to begin this summer and if you
have a suggestion for the park, please
share it with me.
The Commissioners are also proactively
planning for the impact of potential major
land developments here in the Township
over the next few years. The Board has
begun looking at the Township's Zoning
and Land Development Codes to
determine if any changes are necessary.
Traffic is also a major concern, especially
along the already congested Sproul Road
corridor. Some members of the Board,
along with State Representative Bill
Adolph, met with PennDOT officials to
discuss traffic along Sproul Road and
what measures could be readily
implemented to ease congestion. As a
result, the Township will be revising the
timing and sequencing of the traffic
signals to allow for better traffic flow,
especially during rush hours. The Board
will also discuss conducting a traffic
study along the corridor, from West
Chester Pike to Route 1, to not only
identify current traffic needs, such as
designated left turn lanes, but to
anticipate the potential impacts of both
future commercial and residential
developments in the Township.
The
Board's goal is to ensure and sustain the
quality of life here in the Township.

Public Works (Trash & Recycling)
RECYCLING

recycling can be placed in the same container. You
may still place paper (bundled & tied) next to your

Township Building for $20. Overflow of paper
may be dropped off at the paper dumpster located
at the former Marple Grade School property on
West Chester Pike & Malin Road. Plastics, glass
and small electronics may be dropped off at the
Public Works Garage Located at 446 Marpit Road
(behind the Iron Shop).
Garbage must be drained of all liquids before being
placed in containers for collection. Broken Glass,
syringes and other sharp objects must be disposed
of in a container that will properly hold the
contents. Animal Feces must be disposed of in
water tight plastic bags that will properly hold the
contents. All refuse receptacles must be maintained
in good condition and should not have ragged or
sharp edges. Refuse must be placed in containers of
metal or of substantial plastic construction; NO
loose trash will be collected. Containers filled with
contents shall not exceed 50 pounds in weight and
shall be placed adjoining the curb line in such
manner as not to obstruct passage on the sidewalk.

sewers should review their homeowner's insurance
policies regarding sewer back-up claims. The rules
of law under Pennsylvania Political Subdivision

Marple Township Police Department Programs
Citizens Police Academy - The Citizens
Police Academy offers an opportunity for
residents to get an inside look at the workings
of the Marple Township Police Department.
Attendees learn how the department operates
and study such topics as The Legal System,
Patrol Procedures, DUI Enforcement,
Criminal Investigations, Community
Policing, and the Police Communications
Center, to name a few. The ten week
Academy begins in early September. Classes
typically meet once a week for two hours in
the evening. Anyone interested in attending
can contact Sgt. Tony Colgan at the police
station 610-356-1500 ext. 640.
National Night Out National Night Out is an
initiative to heighten residents' awareness of
crime-related issues in the Township. It is held
annually on the first Tuesday in August and
offers an opportunity for residents to come out
and meet the police officers and discuss issues
related to crime and crime prevention. The
goal of the event is to encourage residents to
get out, meet their neighbors and local police
and to look out for each other. Working
together the police/community partnership
will help in reducing crime. We welcome and
encourage all of our residents to come out and
spend some time with us during National
Night Out.
Drug Take Back Program - The Marple
Township Police Department partners with
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Association in an
effort to remove unwanted/unused
prescription medications from the family
medicine cabinet. As you are aware, many
prescription drugs are not taken in their
entirety and thus remain in your medicine
cabinet because you are unsure of what to do
with them. It is during this time that they can
fall into the wrong hands. Several years ago
the DEA initiated a Drug Take Back program
to get these potentially harmful drugs out of
private homes and properly disposed of.
Twice a year, in late April and again in late
October, we host a Drug Take Back at the
Giant Food Market on Springfield Road. The
police station also has a secure locked
medicine drop box where residents can
deposit unused prescriptions at their
convenience.
Alarm Ordinance The Township of Marple
has an ordinance regulating all security and
fire alarm systems in the Township. Alarms
which activate for no reason create a
significant drain on police resources. We
understand the desire for people to protect
their homes, but they must take care of their
alarm systems to prevent accidental or false
alarms. Alarm systems must be serviced
annually. Fines are imposed for violations of
the ordinance and range from $100.00 to
$500.00. There is no fine for the first false
alarm as long as the owner has his system
serviced and the problem corrected.
Solicitors Ordinance In 2010 the Board of
Commissioners revamped the solicitor's
ordinance to put more teeth into it. The current
ordinance requires solicitors to acquire a
license from the Police Department after
providing a Criminal Background Check from
the PA State Police. Soliciting is permitted
between the hours of 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM
Monday thru Friday. There are exceptions for
charitable organizations based on US
Supreme Court Rulings. The Marple
Township Police Department has adopted a
zero tolerance policy regarding solicitors. Any
solicitor who violates the provisions of the
ordinance is cited and his or her license is
revoked.

30-40% of the population responds with a
donation almost immediately. A second
mailing is sent by mid-December to remind
people who may have forgotten to send in their
contribution. A third and final reminder in the
form of a postcard is mailed by mid-January.
At the year's end, almost 60% of the residents
and businesses of Marple Township have
generously made the decision to support their
volunteers at the Marple Township
Ambulance Corps.
The funds collected from the annual fund drive
are crucial to the continued updating of
equipment and training necessary to provide
the citizens of our township with the highest
quality emergency response care. As a current
subscriber to MTAC, you will never be billed
for any balance not covered by your insurance
company.

drive please call (610) 356-1639 and leave us a
message. Your call will be answered as soon as

Marple Newtown School District
The Mission of the district is to
provide state of the art educational
opportunities for all students in a
safe, healthy and effective learning
environment through a collaborative
commitment involving students,
families, staff and community.
The Marple Newtown School District has a
long tradition of excellence in education.
There are approximately 3,500 students
enrolled in grades K through 12 with
accelerated and advanced placement courses
offered in all of the academic areas. The
academic curriculum of the district retains the
strength of traditional programs while
meeting the changing needs of a technological
society.
The district is a clear leader in the county in
the development of academic standards. In
addition to a strong academic program, 23
Advanced Placement and 32 Honors courses
are also offered to students at Marple
Newtown High School. A variety of
opportunities are available to students
through elective courses, independent study
programs, cyber learning and a wide range of
extra-curricular activities and athletics. There
are accelerated courses in all disciplines and a
comprehensive Special Education program
for students who require special instruction.
Paxon Hollow Middle School has advanced
programs in Science, Mathematics, Language
Arts, Social Studies, and Foreign Language
and was recognized by the Pennsylvania
Association for Middle Level education with
the Don Eichhorn Outstanding Middle School
Award. PHMS has been involved in "Potter
Cup", an all-school event created to promote
school spirit and has raised over $300,000 for
pediatric cancer research in the name of Alex's
Lemonade Stand since 2005.
Marple Newtown High School has
demonstrated outstanding academic
performance on its Pennsylvania School
Performance Profile with a Building Level
Academic Score of 98.1. This score is
comparable to the finest high schools in
suburban Philadelphia and the state. The high
school students' performance on the new
rigorous end-of-course Keystone
examinations were excellent:
Literature: 95.0
Algebra 1: 88.11
Biology: 75.00
AUTO, HOME & LIFE
INSURANCE
Additionally, Marple Newtown High School
students raised their average SAT scores in all
three subject areas, with the largest gain in
Critical Reading.
While public schools across the state have
previously received designations under No
Child Left Behind (e.g., Made Adequate
Yearly Progress, Making Progress, Warning,
School Improvement, Corrective Action),
schools will now receive an academic
performance score based upon many data
points. Test scores, progress in closing
achievement gaps, and degree of student
growth over time are factored into the scoring
while other identifiers of high achieving
schools are also considered: graduation,
promotion, and attendance rates, as well as
evidence of offering rigorous courses factor
into the calculation. Schools may also earn
extra points beyond the 100 point scoring
system for those students who have earned
advanced scores on the state, industry, and
Advanced Placement Exams. Access to the
Pennsylvania School Performance Profile is
available at (http://www.paschoolperformance.org).
"Unlike previous measures of our schools, the
School Performance Profile utilizes many
data points to measure our schools' academic
strength," said Dr. Merle Horowitz,
Superintendent. "While we receive a score for
our schools, the more important aspect of this
resource is that it allows us to acknowledge
our strengths and use the profile as a tool for
student improvement."

It is with a humble heart, that I announce that PAT'S
TRANSMISSIONS will be leaving our Broomall location of 34
years, as we will be moving to Folsom, PA. (Only 7.4 miles
from our Broomall location) Due to a number of factors, and
after much deliberation, our family has decided that by
combining our efforts, we can ensure that we maintain the high
quality craftsmanship that we have offered to Delaware County
for the past 47 years.
At this time, my family and I would like to offer a heartfelt
'THANK YOU' to Marple Township and the surrounding
communities, for 34 wonderful years in Broomall. The support
our family business has received from day one has been
overwhelming, and we are nothing short of grateful for the
experience we've had in this great community!
We will continue to offer high quality workmanship, along with
the focus on, trust and strong relationships with our customers,
that has been our trademark since my father started this business
in 1967.
We are excited to continue serving all of your vehicle's

News From the Marple Tree Commission
Preserving and Restoring Marple's Community Forest.
Tree City ,USA Certification
Since 2006 our community has proudly
displayed its status as a Tree City, USA on
signs on roads entering town and a flag at the
Municipal Building. The program was
developed by the National Arbor Day
Foundation to encourage communities to care
for their trees and the protective leaf canopy
they provide. Working together, our township
administration and the Tree Commission have
submitted the required information to qualify
again in 2014 for this distinction. We must
document annually how much money the
township spends on tree care and associated
services as well as how many volunteer hours
our Tree Commission, and our MTC
volunteers and supporters all over town, have
devoted to planting, watering and protecting
trees in Marple.
One of the requirements of Tree City, USA is
that the Tree Commission host a celebration of
Arbor Day every year. At that time we invite
the public to join us at one of Marple's lovely
parks to hear short presentations from local
officials, receive our Tree City certificate
from a PAForester and watch a demonstration
of how to plant a tree. You are invited to join us
on Friday, April 25, 2014 for this year's Arbor
Day Observance at 4:00 pm at Kent Park (off
Cedar Grove Road). There will be
refreshments!
Plant a tree at your house this spring
The Marple Tree Commission plants trees in
our parks and other public areas. We also
encourage homeowners and businesses to
plant trees on their property. This spring our
RE-LEAF Marple program will offer
inexpensive young trees suitable for
landscapes plus siting and planting services,
and care instruction. For specific details,
contact Janis Egan, RE-LEAF Marple coordinator at 610-356-5046.
Why should I plant a tree?
The trees growing on both public and private
property in Marple collectively constitute our
community forest. Its protective leaf canopy
moderates our climate, preserves soil,
beautifies streets, parks and residential
landscapes and enriches our lives. Here are
more very good reasons why trees are
critically important to Marple:
! Healthy mature trees add about 10
!
!
!
!

!
percent to the value of a typical
residential property.
Trees save taxpayers money by reducing
township energy costs and stormwater
treatment costs.
There are fewer incidents of violence and
crime in neighborhoods with lots of
mature, attractive trees.
Neighborhoods with lots of trees
experience slower traffic speeds and
fewer traffic accidents.
A large, healthy shade tree has a cooling
effect equivalent to ten room-sized air
conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
A mature deciduous tree intercepts
hundreds of gallons of water from rainfall
each year, reducing flooding and soil
erosion in town.
Trees benefit the local economy because
customers spend up to 20 percent more in
stores with trees in front of them.
An average size tree "inhales" 26 pounds
of CO2 and "exhales" enough oxygen to
keep a family of four breathing for a year.

Chair: Rick Ray
Vice Chair: Diana Breen
Treasurer: Louisa Ridgway
Volunteer coordinator: Marianne Price
Secretary: Liz Ball
Spring Events!
Arbor Day: Marple Township will celebrate
its Eighth Arbor Day at Kent Park on Friday,

landscape by visiting a lovely garden here in
Marple. The guided tour will be on Sunday,
May 4th from 11 am until noon. This is a

garden and learn about the important role trees
play in supporting wildlife and protecting our
neighborhoods. It is free and open to the
public. To register please call Marianne Price
at 610-353-4971 or email her at
Marianne.f.price@gmail.com and she will
send you the address.
Film Event: The more we learn about how
plants survive and thrive on our planet, the
more we come to respect them. The Marple
Tree Commission and the Marple Public
Library invite Marple residents to a free
screening of the film Life, on Thursday, May
8th at 7:30 pm at the Library Community
Room in the Township building at 227 South

Code Corner: A Guide to Marple's Regulations
All About Permits - Part II
A previous column discussed the types of
permits and when they are required by Marple
Township Code regulations. Actually, the
most common situation for homeowners is
planning for some sort of construction project
in the home or landscape, such as replacing
indoor water pipes, installing electrical
wiring, adding to the home or undertaking
major shade tree work. In these types of
projects there is potential for dangerous,
expensive and environmentally destructive
repercussions if the work is not done correctly
to code requirements. Permit applications
alert the Code officials that the work is
planned and they can check on the project.
Getting a permit
If you hire a contractor to do work on your
property, he may obtain the permit. However,
it is the homeowner's responsibility to check
and be sure that a permit has been issued. You
may have to apply for it yourself.
Visit the Marple Township Building at 227 S.
Sproul Road and ask for a permit application
form. If you need help filling out the form,
someone in the Code Enforcement
Department will happy to help you. The office
staff maintains a list of contractors who are
licensed in Marple Township. Keep in mind
that a contractor also has to be licensed by the
State of Pennsylvania. Make sure you ask a
contractor for his license(s) and insurance
before you hire!
Then submit the application, including plans
for the proposed project, and pay the required
fee to the Code Enforcement Office. Fees are
based on the estimated cost of the project. If
the permit application shows that the project
conforms to current regulations, you will be
issued a permit for the project and a cardboard
placard to post in a conspicuous place on the
premises so the public can see it. It states:
"Building Permit Issued" and must be
displayed during the entire
construction period.
aware of an un-permitted project, it issues a
'stop work" order to the property owner and
requires the owner and/or contractor to
contact the Code Enforcement office to secure
the proper permits. When the inspector visits
the project, he will be able to confirm that any
aspects that do not meet the Marple Code can
be corrected. This protects you, your
neighbors and our community.
If, upon consideration of the
permit application, the Code
Enforcement Officer decides
that the permit cannot be issued
because the proposed activity
does not conform to the
township regulations, a
resident can apply for relief
from strict conformance to the
regulations. This is done by
appeal to the Zoning Hearing
Board. (to be discussed in a
future column).
No permit?
Sometimes residents fail to
acquire a permit that is required
for work being done on their
property. When the Code
Enforcement Office becomes
