Snow Removal Policy
The Township has announced its snow removal policy for the upcoming winter months:
TOWNSHIP ROADS
The Highway Department will begin plowing the most heavily trav
eled roads first. Salting and cindering will be performed as needed. After the initial plowing, the plow will return to widen the path to provide
an area to plow additional snow if another storm occurs before a melting period.
Residents are asked to park their cars in their driveway, if at all
possible. It is almost impossible for equipment operators to keep
snow from being plowed in front of a driveway. This is not done deliberately. The Highway Department tries to clear all roads. Residents
are also asked to move basketball backboards off streets.
SNOW/ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS
Property owners are reminded that Township regulations require
snow and ice to be cleaned from sidewalks within 24 hours after a
snowfall ends.
SNOW EMERGENCY ROUTES
Residents are required to remove parked vehicles from streets and
roads posted as snow emergency routes if a snow emergency is declared.
Snow emergency announcements will be made over local television and
radio.
200th Anniversary Book
Planned in West Fairview
West Fairview will celebrate its Bicentennial next year, and its Historical Society is about to go to press with a book about the village’s history.
Persons interest in having their name in the book can do so for a fee
of $15. Business advertisements are also being taken. For more information, stop at the Historical Society at 410 Cherry St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The Society is also selling tee shirts and bricks. Bricks are being sold
with one name or names of loved ones, for $25 for a single name or $50
for a double. Call John Bingaman at 526-9396 or Ruth Bender at 732-9507
for more information.
A New Year’s Eve party is being planned. Call Judy Fleck at 919-7819
after 2:30 p.m. daily for reservations. This will be a non-alcoholic party for
adults.
A New Year’s Day dinner is schedule at the fire hall, with pork and
sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and hot dogs. No charges, just a donation.
Flags for the telephone poles are now on sale. Call Tom Crognale at
732-9509. Your name or business will be included on the flag. The cost is
$50 for a single-sided flag or $75 for a double sided one.
Other events are planned for 2015. Any resident who would like to
help can call Alice Beers, the Bicentennial chairperson, at 903-7399.
The Historical Society also said it is offering tours of the nail mill museum at Adams Ricci Park by appointment. Call the Society at 732-5801.
FIRE HYDRANTS
Property owners are asked to clear around fire hydrants to ensure
fire protection. Valuable time can be lost if firefighters have to clear
snow from the hydrant area.
A ‘Night Out’ Thank You!
The Township Police Department has issued a statement thanking
all local businesses, sponsors and volunteers for participating in its first
“National Night Out for Safety” in August. It also thanked residents, their
families and friends who were at the event and supported the Department.
As a result of everyone’s generosity and participation, the night was
very successful.
McKenzy McAlister a member of Girl Scout Troop 639, has completed all
the requirements to earn the Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl
Scouting. She is accepting her recognition from the Township Commissioner’s from her grandmother Dee McAlister, former Commissioner.

in this year’s carnival.
Community Volunteers
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! The success of this event
would not be possible without the tireless hard work of
our community volunteers. Many of these incredible
individuals came out every night and worked through
the long, hot, busy nights. Also, thank you to the businesses who generously gave monetary donations and/
or came out with their personnel and participated in the
event by manning one of our many booths.

SENIOR NEWS
The center will sponsor a flu shot clinic from 9 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Medicare Part B pays for one seasonal flu shot with no copay. Each year in the U.S., 9 out of 10 flu-related deaths and 6 out of
10 flu-related hospital stays occur among
people 65 years old and older.
An annual flu shot is one of the best
preventative measures to help protect
against the flu and to maintain good
health.
The flu shot is available in a regular
strength dose and a high dose that provides extra immunity, which is often recommended for older adults. The Visiting
Nurses Association of Central Pennsylvania will administer the vaccine. To learn more about the vaccine, visit
www.flu.gov.
Do you have concerns about falling? The Pennsylvania Division
of the American Trauma Society will present a series of programs, entitled “A Matter of Balance,” in October and November.
The program emphasizes practical ways to manage falls. Learn to
improve balance, flexibility and strength.
The two-hour classes will be held weekly for eight weeks.
For more information call the center at 732-3915.
BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!
Look for Friends of East Pennsboro Library at the annual Pennsboro
Pumpkin Fest on Oct. 11 and 12. Four big booths full of great books will
have something for everyone. Children’s books are
25 cents, paperbacks, 50 cents, and hardbacks,
just $1.
Book sales are held every Tuesday, Thursday and the third Friday, from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.
on the ground floor of the Township Municipal Building. Donations of gently used books,
audio books, DVDs and VHS are accepted every day and may be placed in the shopping cart in

As indicated above, leaves will be collected the day after your

continue through Dec. 5.
GUIDELINES FOR LEAF COLLECTION SERVICE:
• No return trip to collect leaves if designated day is missed by
homeowner.
• All leaves are to be raked onto the street, at the curb line.
• Do not place any large objects with the leaves, such as branches, bricks, stones, etc. that could damage the leaf collection
equipment.
• Weather conditions may cause delays or variations in the
schedule.
• Residents are asked to use their off-street parking spaces, if
available, during the six-week collection period.
Please Note: The Township observes Veterans’ Day, Nov. 11, and
Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27. There will be no leaf collection on those
dates.
All questions should be
referred to the Township
Building, 732-0711.
Township Police Accepting
Unused Prescription Drugs
The Township Police Department has
installed a permanent Med-Return Drug
Collection Unit in its first floor reception
area at 98 S. Enola Dr.
Residents can dispose of excess and
expired prescription drugs and over-thecounter medications in the special container. Liquids, needles and aerosol cans are not
accepted. Labels can be removed from the
prescription containers.
The collection area is open from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Drugs can
be dropped off with no questions asked.
The Department said disposing of excess drugs is everyone’s responsibility, citing the fact that 70 percent of young people abusing prescription pain relievers get them from the family medicine cabinet.
