BENEFITS LEAF MULCH AND LEAF COMPOST

Leaf Mulch – Did you ever consider leaving your fall leaves (leaf litter mulch) in your flower beds for the winter? The benefits of leaf litter mulch can help buffer soil temperatures to keep soil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, thereby protecting plants. Leaf mulch can also help in retaining soil moisture which lessens the need for irrigation.

Leaf Compost – Did you know that we produce leaf compost each year?

Leaf composting makes a dark, rich, earthy organic matter that can be used like soil. It adds nutrients to garden soil and the larger particle size helps enhance the tilth and loosen compacted earth. Compost will also help retain moisture and repels weeds when used as a top dressing or mulch.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE

SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY TIPS – TO SAVE YOUR LIFE

Helping to save lives one tip at a time Fact: Hundreds of people die each year in the United States due to heat waves, hurricanes, lightning, flash floods, powerful thunderstorm winds, and winter storms or winter cold. Additionally, thousands of people are injured by these weather events each year.

Fact: If you are aware of what weather event is about to impact your area, you are more likely to survive such an event. To stay on top of the weather, utilize NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receiver units that can be purchased at most electronic stores. Make sure the model you purchase has a battery-backup. The programmable types allow you to selectively screen out those county warnings you are not interested in. Most homes have a smoke detector; shouldn’t your home also have a weather radio?

You should also obtain the latest weather information from commercial TV/radio, cable TV, the internet/web and newspapers.

LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS:

1. Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are imminent. Lightning can travel 5-10 miles away from the thunderstorm and strike the ground with blue sky overhead. The storm doesn’t have to be overhead in order for you to be struck.

2. Move to a sturdy shelter or vehicle.

Do not take shelter in a small shed, under isolated trees, or in a convertible-top vehicle. Stay away from tall objects such as trees or towers or poles.

3. If in your vehicle when lightning strikes – don’t touch a metal surface. You are safer in a vehicle than being outdoors.

4. Remember that utility lines or pipes can carry the electrical current underground or through a building. Avoid electrical appliances, and use telephones or computers only in an emergency.

5. If you feel your hair standing on end – get down into a baseball catcher’s position and plug your ears with your fingertips so if lightning does hit it will not blow your ear drums out. Do not lie flat.

11

6. 30/30 rule – if the time between lighting and thunder is 30 seconds or less, go to a safe shelter. Stay there until 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder.

FLASH FLOOD/FLOOD SAFETY TIPS:

1. Nearly half of all fatalities in a flash flood involve a person driving a vehicle.

Do not drive into a flooded area – Turn Around, Don’t Drown! It takes only 2 feet of water to float away most cars.

2. It takes only 6 inches of fast-moving water to sweep a person off their feet – don’t walk through a flooded area.

3. If you are camping in a river valley, move to higher ground if thunderstorms with heavy rains are in the area. Do not attempt to drive away.

4. Don’t operate electrical tools in flooded areas.

5. Most flash flood deaths occur in the middle of the night when it is more difficult to see rising water levels.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS:

1. Don’t underestimate the power of strong thunderstorm winds known as straight-line winds – they can reach speeds of 100 to 150 mph. Hurricaneforce winds start at 74 mph. Pennsylvania does experience these kinds of winds.

2. If a severe thunderstorm warning contains hurricane-force wind speeds seek shelter immediately (as you would for a tornado situation).

3. Stay away from windows and go to the basement or interior room/hallway.

Do not use electrical appliances.

4. Be aware that tall trees near a building can be uprooted by straight-line winds – that tree can come crashing through the roof of a home and crush a person.

5. Powerful straight-line winds can overturn a vehicle or even make a person air-borne when they get up over 100 mph.

6. One type of a straight-line wind event is a downburst, which is a small area of rapidly descending rain-cooled air and rain beneath a thunderstorm. A downburst can cause damage equivalent to a strong tornado.

DEAR CAMP HILL RESIDENTS:

We appreciate your attendance and participation in Camp Hill’s National Night Out activities every year. National Night Out has been a great opportunity for community members to gather, visit, have some snacks and refreshments, and allow us to help promote crime prevention and personal safety. National Night Out is one of the many events which makes Camp Hill a great community!!

Unfortunately, due to the continuing COVID-19 Pandemic situation we are all facing, and the uncertainty about its progression, and the public gathering guidelines which will be in place in August, we are cancelling the 2021 Camp Hill National Night Out. Although we hope the situation would improve enough by August 3rd to hold the event, we cannot be sure of that. Public Safety is our main concern. Since the planning for National Night Out would need to start now, and this pandemic has already caused disruption and financial challenges to so many, we feel it would be best to err on the side of caution at this point in time.

We certainly appreciate your support and participation in previous National Night Out events. We plan on making the 2022 National Night Out bigger and better than ever!! We hope to see you there!!

WOMAN’S CLUB

The Club, established in 1950, is a philanthropic and social organization of women from Camp Hill and the surrounding area. Our goal is to raise money through various fundraisers to donate to local charities. We are proud to give donations this year to the following: Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors, Bethesda Missions, Domestic Violence of Cumberland & Perry Counties, Downtown Daily Bread, and St. Francis Soup Kitchen. Thank you to the community for supporting our curbside sales of lasagna, homemade soups and chili over the past year. If you are interested in joining our Club, please visit www.chwclub.com and Facebook.

LIONS CLUB

Hello from the Camp Hill Lions Club. It is some time since we presented an article in this newsletter, so will go back for a bit, to thank all who purchased a Christmas tree.

We sold out in a timely manner which gave us some working capital to maintain our charities. We also packed several dozen boxes of goodies, such as candy, socks, toothpaste, etc. to be sent to overseas military from Pennsylvania. Due to Covid we regretfully have had to cancel our annual pancake jamboree. We are ready and eager to flip pancakes in 2022 and hope to see you there.

During this time we have conducted business via computer and Zoom meetings. We were pleased to donate to two Boy Scouts for their Eagle projects. We also awarded our annual scholarship to a senior who will be attending HAAC. It is unfortunate we are unable to meet these young people at these times, but we are proud and honored to help where we can. We will begin our outdoor meetings in June. If you would like to join us for an outdoor meeting and perhaps give a thought to joining the Lion’s Club, please call Jo Bailey (717) 761-8129.

CAMP HILL GIRL SCOUT EARNS HIGHEST HONOR

CAMP HILL FIRE COMPANY #1 2021 CHICKEN BBQ SCHEDULE Hello Camp Hill Residents, The Coronavirus has forced all of us to look at things differently this year regarding the CH Chicken BBQ. We are going to have 4 separate sales – May 8th, June 12th, August 14th, and September 11th with no rain dates. The price for the dinner will be $10, which includes chicken, potato, applesauce, roll and butter. There will be no presales (door to door), so mark your calendars! Sales will be on a first come/first served basis, starting at 11:00 am until we sell out. There will be a drive through for pickup on Walnut Street in front of the firehouse.

One final note, this is the only fundraiser of the year for our volunteer Fire Company. The monies we receive after the cost of the food go directly to updating our technology and equipment, to ensure the safety of all residents.

We are always looking for volunteers to assist in all aspects of running a volunteer fire company. If you are interested, please stop by the firehouse on any Monday night at 7:00 pm or talk to us at the Chicken BBQ. You may also email Dave Apgar at a1fireman@comcast.net.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT!

2 0 21 M u n i c i p a l P o o l S e a s o n TO PURCHASE A POOL MEMBERSHIP Camp Hill Borough offers pool memberships through the Active Network program.

To purchase a pool membership, visit camphillborough.com. There are two options to proceed. Under the “I Want To” section (at the bottom of the screen), click “Purchase a pool membership”. Or, select the Recreation Department and click the large green button in the right-hand corner labeled “Register for Activities”. Both steps will bring you to the same screen. If you have an Active Network account established, click the blue “Sign In” button. Otherwise, click “Create an Account” under the blue button. Do not create a new account if you have registered for other Borough-sponsored recreational activities in the past; in that case, you already have an established Active Network account.

Simply access your existing account and purchase your membership.

When creating an account, please completely spell out your address. Add all household members five years of age and older to the account. If you have a nanny, this person must be added to the account using the following guidelines. Use the word “Nanny” for the first name and your last name for the last name. For example, the nanny for the Smith family would be Nanny Smith. For the nanny’s address, use your address. For the nanny’s date of birth, choose a date that keeps the age under twenty-three years (23) old, for example 1/1/2000. These guidelines are necessary so you are not overcharged for your membership. If you need clarification, please call the Borough Office.

Once your account is established, you may proceed and purchase the pool membership that best suits your household. Active Network only accepts credit or debit card payments. For those who wish to pay by cash or check, you must still visit the Borough

Office; Borough staff will assist you in completing your transaction. For those interested in purchasing the grandparent membership (5-visit swipe card), make sure your Active Network account is established before visiting the Borough Office to complete your transaction. Borough Staff will not do this for you.

Once your membership is purchased, you may go to the pool. When your pool membership cards are created (usually within 1 or 2 days), ask for them at the pool front desk.

Each person, with the exception of a nanny, will have their photograph taken at the pool front desk. Returning members will use their cards issued from previous years.

WELCOME NEW BOARD MEMBERS – AND THANK YOU OUTGOING ONES

The Lion Foundation would like to thank the following outgoing board members for their time and dedication over the years: Aaron Boor, who served as Treasurer; Chad Gallaher, Leslie Sarvis, Rita Steele, and Ron Tomalis.

We couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful volunteer Board of Directors!

We would like to welcome the following new members to our Board: Tom Beckley, Robbe Bendick, Crissy Dopkowski, and John Hyams. They join a team of 20 other talented volunteers who help raise money to support programs and projects in our schools that are not covered by taxpayer dollars.

Our Children, Our Community, Our Future WE ARE because YOU Give…

“It takes a village to raise a child,” the saying goes. In the past year, we have witnessed this firsthand. I would like to thank everyone who has stepped up to help us educate our children and get us through the year: office, kitchen and custodial staff, teachers, administrators, parents, grandparents, students, neighbors, local businesses, and our volunteers and donors. Being a tight-knit community shows its value as we support each other during these unpredictable times.

This will be my last update to you as The Lion Foundation’s executive director. The Foundation has hired Kelly Falck to take on the position. Please join me in welcoming and supporting her as she guides the Foundation’s mission of supporting our children and schools.

Just like we have been there in the past to help, The Lion Foundation will be there in the future, with your support. This year alone, your donations made it possible for our teachers and students to adapt to remote learning, address increased safety needs in the classrooms, and feed food insecure families in our community through the Earl Besch Fund. Thanks to the Pollock Endowment, The Pollock Performing Arts Center was able to continue to provide arts programming for our students, even if it looked and felt a little different this year.

My hope is that we can all enjoy a more normal 2021 soon. Thanks to the continued support of our donors, Camp Hill schools will continue to grow stronger and better. It has been an amazing 13 years as your executive director. As I look back on this time, I am proud of all we have accomplished together. Thank you for supporting “Our Children, Our Community, and Our Future.” WE ARE because YOU Give!

My best,

Robin

THE LION FOUNDATION WELCOMES KELLY FALCK The Lion Foundation is pleased to introduce Kelly Falck as the new Executive Director.

Kelly brings more than 20 years of professional experience in informal education settings and non-profit organizations.

As a graduate of Elizabethtown College, her academic training in social studies led to an early career in museum education at a science center in Columbus, Ohio, and later at a county historical society in Ithaca, New York.

After returning to Central Pennsylvania, Kelly began a rewarding tenure as the Director of Faith Formation for Trinity Lutheran Church in Camp Hill. During her time at Trinity Lutheran, she came to know many Camp Hill families and grew to appreciate the unique and wonderful qualities of our community.

In addition to her professional experience, Kelly has developed her education foundation leadership skills as a member of the board of the Polar Bear Foundation in Dillsburg. During her time on the board, she has served as Fundraising Chair, Events Co-Chair, and most recently as Board President. Through this work, she gained even greater knowledge of fundraising, grant management, event coordination, and the importance of building a vibrant board of directors. Kelly is also a member of the National School Foundation Association, and recently completed several courses toward earning her Certificate in Education Foundation Leadership.

When asked about her new role, Kelly shared that “The Lion Foundation is a well-respected education foundation at the local, statewide, and national level. It is a true honor to build on past successes as we set a course for the future. I look forward to working with the Foundation’s leadership team to tackle fundraising goals, spread the word about the work of the Foundation, and make a positive difference in the lives of students and teachers throughout the district. I’m happy to become part of the Lion Pride.”

YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK! THANK YOU!

Because of YOU, we were able to fund more than $163,000 in grants in 2020 for our students and schools. Your support allowed us to establish and prioritize our TECH/CONNECT program to upgrade and enhance technology and remote learning, and address student and staff safety programs.

In mid-January, we awarded another $45,000 in grants to our schools. This includes a TECH/CONNECT grant for $25,902 to enhance livestreaming initiatives for K-12 remote and hybrid learners; $1,696 for technology decontamination stations for our kindergarten classes; and $2,592 for instructional tablets for middle and high school math teachers.

YOU also funded: the K-5 special education Everyday Speech program, the Eisenhower PBIS program, Wiggle chairs for 3rd grade, 5th grade hands-on science materials, 5th grade JA Biztown, and the 6th grade online Spelling City program. You also provided support for establishing an online High School Athletic Electronic Wall of Honor, The Athletic Senior Banners, and for purchasing security cameras for College Park.

These are programs and projects that otherwise would not be funded, but thanks to YOU, they are! YOU ARE having an impact with every donation you make, and WE ARE having an impact in our schools! Check out our website or follow us on Facebook to see the impact your donations have!

CAPITAL BLUE CROSS SUPPORTS EMT PROGRAM

NEXTIER BANK SPONSORS BIZTOWN

Thanks to a generous donation by Capital Blue Cross, Camp Hill high schoolers are getting the opportunity once again this year to learn real-life skills through the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program. When students successfully complete this hands-on, full-year initiative — which is done in partnership with HACC — they will emerge with an EMT certification and a credit toward graduation. As importantly, they will also gain invaluable experience that could lead to a career in health care. Thank you Capital Blue Cross!

NexTier Bank will once again sponsor our 5th Biztown program, which will look a little different Even though the Biztown facility in York is currently closed, our 5th grade teachers are working diligently to plan a Camp Hill version of JA Biztown, starting on May 7th.

As part of this effort, they will use the Biztown curriculum books for the pre-event work, then try to set up a Career Day in the school. Stay tuned for more details on the format, which will depend on new COVID numbers at that time.

This is all possible thanks to NexTier Bank’s through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Thank you NexTier Bank!

THANK YOU CLASS OF 2020!

grade JA this year.

donation program.

The Class of 2020, which saw so many of its graduation activities and rites of passage altered or canceled last year because of the pandemic, has generously donated just under $9,500 toward The Lion Foundation’s mission of supporting Camp Hill schools, teachers and students. This was money the class had raised for a senior class trip that was canceled — and generously decided to donate to us. To honor the Class of 2020, $500 will be used to plant a tree at Hoover Elementary. Thank you Class of 2020!
